Chapter 546 Choice

"This is not what I expected..."

"It's so wrong. What kind of development is this?"

Edward turned over and over again to recall a series of things that had just happened, feeling that his brain was beginning to be unable to understand the changes in things.

With a god of knowledge and information as a temporary ally, and with his own authority over "changes of fate", it was not difficult for Edward to know the development of this melee. At first, the God of Thunder wanted to take back the colony to alleviate domestic conflicts and economic pressure, but he did not expect that the war situation would escalate. If Klein had not chosen to stand aside, he would have foreseen the escalation of the war situation, but the current situation is obvious A lot has changed - what happened in just a few minutes?

Amon escaped from Origin Castle? Kline back in power?

Antigonus's body has transformed into a marionette, but his spirit body is still alive and is sending messages to Bethel through other methods?

...What happened to these people in the mysterious third path?

No, it should be said that what happened is already obvious. No matter what happened, the influence of the Lord of Mysteries cannot be avoided!

So in whose body did the Lord of Mysteries awaken? Judging from their reactions, they don't seem to have transformed into something mysterious, but the old-level faceless men certainly wouldn't let people see the difference directly... But why hasn't God reacted yet? Shouldn't He have immediately opened up the Eastern Continent and violently beaten people, or rained down fire from the sun in the sky? Why has there been no movement?

Doesn't God think this is a mysterious awakening?

But if an object is exactly the same as the Lord of Mysteries in terms of destiny, symbol and authority, and the honorific name can point to the other party, then this thing must be the Lord of Mysteries no matter how you look at it, right?

At this moment, the whereabouts of Antigonus's spirit body is unknown, Klein's seems to have entered Source Castle, and Bethel is still in the material world, so it is clear in whose body the Lord of Mysteries has awakened. Although he didn't want to say strange things, Edward, who had always regarded God as "the last emergency brake for the Lord of Mysteries," always felt that the absence of "omniscience" still seemed to have some impact on God.

"The fate of the God of Death is different from what I thought. Although I hope that He will make a desperate move, and I have been guiding him in this direction, I always feel that there are still developments that I did not expect... But for now, it is mysterious The Lord’s side should not be able to affect the God of Death. After all, the battles on the three paths corresponding to the River of Eternal Darkness have ended, but it seems that the only winner will not live long.”

"What is going on... I feel like I should take advantage of the chaos to touch the River of Eternal Darkness... But the God of Death has touched the source of matter with its characteristics. He has not yet emerged from the silent state. Has he sunk? ?It might be dangerous to touch it, and I can’t use it now.”

Edward had a strange feeling now. Although the whole world was now integrated, it seemed that all the disturbances had nothing to do with him.

"How about helping the Demon of Knowledge fight the God of Thunder?"

Edward thought for a while and finally rejected the idea.

"Forget it, I really want to see the scene in the prophecy, where the entire northern continent trembles under the power and majesty of the tyrant... but it seems unlikely to happen given the current situation."

Before Klein makes his choice, the world has two possible processes.

If Klein chooses not to help Highland, whether because of indifference, because the God of Thunder ignores his help, or because he shrinks because of his own lack of ability, then the Demon of Knowledge will not seize this time to extend an olive branch to Klein. Then the highlands will inevitably be destroyed. By then, the countries and lands in the northern part of the Southern Continent will be cleared. Of course, Richard and others will die as hard as they can.

Death may help, or he may not.

But his own abilities are insufficient, so whether he helps or not, he cannot change the outcome. The God of Thunder will eventually get the vast colonies and plains in the north of the southern continent, as well as the ancient forests. So, after the fall of the northern part of the southern continent, will Bailang in the south be spared?

Eventually the God of Thunder will occupy the entire world, he will be infinitely close to God, and then completely become God when the entire northern continent is occupied by him. But it doesn’t matter. They will all die in the end, and they will start to take action after confirming Richard’s death. If God doesn’t mind what his new flock of sheep who believe in the God of Thunder say, he may lift up the Southern Continent and smash it. Go to the northern continent, eat the northern continent, and finally leave with the eastern continent... The current situation is really weird and boring.

…

Forsi lit the fireplace, and the warm firelight illuminated her face.

After being frightened once by "Mr. Fool" who suddenly returned, she was completely drowsy in the warm bed and couldn't fall asleep at all.

However, she was looking forward to the tarot meeting, and even hoped that Mr. Fool could finish his work as soon as possible and resume the meeting next Monday, because a lot of things had happened to her during this period, and she also wanted to catch up with the people she had not seen for a long time. Share with friends.

Most importantly, she also wanted to know what happened to her friend. Xio's abnormality made her very uneasy.

The kettle placed on the fireplace began to emit some white steam, and the room gradually became warmer. Forsi secretly looked up at his roommate. Xio was sitting quietly on the chair on the other side of the fireplace, looking at the flickering fire and thinking about something. Xio was also awakened by Mr. Fool. They were all curious about what happened to this god, but they didn't know what happened.

It's good just like this... As if nothing happened, Forsi relaxed slightly, but then subconsciously became nervous: No, no, you can't think like that, you must deal with Xio's abnormality. Just solve it...

After a few more minutes, Xio suddenly spoke.

"Forsi."

Forsi, who was looking at the smoking kettle in a daze, looked towards her and asked curiously: "What's going on?"

The water will be boiled in a few minutes. Forsi doesn't plan to drink coffee, but only plans to drink some warm water or milk and go to bed later.

When she looked at Xio, she suddenly noticed that Xio's face showed less obvious "anxiety" and "uneasiness".

Xio is a calm person, and the change in her expression is really very subtle, not to mention that she is still sitting on the chair without changing her posture. However, Forsi still noticed Xio's changes based on the familiarity and observation gained from getting along with her for many years - she His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, leaving an inconspicuous shadow, and his lips were slightly pursed, as if there was something troubling nearby - this kind of expression would only make Forsi rest for a long time. I see it when I don’t get commissions and work.

At that time, she would worry about money, but with the promotion of the rank and the gradual absorption of MI9, she has received a stable job and promotion opportunities, so she should not have such worries.

Forsi was a little nervous. She was waiting for her friend's next words. For a while, she couldn't even feel the heat of the burning flame.

During the few seconds of silence, Xio seemed to have gone through some complicated thinking. Then, she asked slowly:

"...Do you think the current Mr. Fool is the real Mr. Fool?"

What is this question... Forsi was also stunned for a moment when asked.

Her Sequence is too low, and unlike Leonard, who carries a Friendly Sequence 1 of the "Stealer" path with him, Forsi's understanding of the Fool's sudden departure and the warning of "Don't pray to me" is just "The Fool" "Mr. encountered some difficulties, or Mr. Fool's enemies came to visit. As for replacing him... she had never thought about it at all.

"Uh." But Forsi was not stupid. She stayed for a few seconds and then asked, "You mean, Mr. Fool who invited us may not be the real Mr. Fool? Then, who could that be? ?Who else can completely imitate Him?"

“And if it wasn’t Him, why would He call us?”

Forsi has a very clear positioning of himself. He is just a Sequence 6 who has not yet digested the potion. He is not outstanding among the students of the Abraham family. How can He De attract the attention of the great being? If that is not Mr. Fool who is kind and kind-hearted to help him escape from the "Full Moon Rumblings" that is certain to kill him, what is the point of calling him there?

Xio seemed to be asked by these two rhetorical questions. She was also confused about the current situation, but there was another voice in her ears urging her to get the information quickly and act according to the "Emperor's" order quickly.

Seeing her in distress, Forsi suddenly came up with a bold idea - Xio suddenly thought of this matter, could it be related to the abnormality in her body? For the comfort of her friend, Forsi plucked up the courage and pretended to be normal and asked:

"Xiu, why do you have such a guess? I didn't even think of it."

"Could it be that a previous arrest involved the extraordinary ability of 'replacement'?"

Xio subconsciously wanted to refute, because she had not encountered anything similar in her memory - it would not be surprising, unless it was a relatively simple disguise and change of physical characteristics, at least involving "replacement" and "disguise and deception" It is also the "faceless man", or the witch who has just become a "witch". She is not the same as before. The little "arbiter" can handle it, and she will not be spared if she is involved.

But her rebuttal was pushed back into her throat by the "Emperor", who said in a steady voice:

"I just thought about the possibility."

"After all, it is very dangerous for us...When we participate in the party, we all go there in the form of spirit bodies."

Forsi did not relax, but felt that Xio's performance and behavior were even weirder. She showed an indifferent smile and said again:

"You're right, Xio. We are just two mid-level Beyonders, and we don't have our own power like Ms. Hermit. We are not worth mentioning to those big shots."

"And when we were all Sequence 9, Mr. Fool had already taken us up there. So what if we felt it was dangerous? Our fate is in His hands. We can't resist the great existence. of will."

Forsi looked into Xio's eyes and what he meant was:

Resistance is useless, and vigilance is useless. If He really feels that we are an eyesore, He can destroy us into ashes at any time.

Xiu has already figured this out, why do you still bring it up now?

Forsi frowned slightly. Looking at Xio's expression, she suddenly came up with a very weird and absurd guess——

Generally speaking, vigilance is to prevent people who are not much different from oneself in strength from harming oneself. Just like mid-sequence extraordinary people can be vigilant to each other, but ordinary people and low-sequence ones have no need to be wary of a demigod because there is no need to resist. Without the power of a demigod.

In other words...no way...

If Xio starts to be wary of Mr. "Fool", wouldn't that prove that Xio feels that she needs to be wary of him in some sense, rather than that she doesn't care about him because she feels that her life can be at the mercy of him...

Forsi's heart beat violently for a few times, and she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a very normal action of arranging her hair. She looked at Xio's expression uneasily, but found that the other person was still frowning, as if he was dissatisfied with his views and speech.

This is impossible...Xiu is obviously only Sequence 6...How is this possible...

Forsi was a little scared. She really felt fear at this moment. She even wanted to open the door and escape at all costs. If the other party really has the power to compete with Mr. Fool and wants to be wary of Mr. Fool, then she, no, then it is definitely not Xiu! Where are her friends? When did this terrifying creature replace Xio's identity and appear next to him?

The last bit of reason allowed her to maintain her shaky appearance. She propped up her body with her weak arms and stood up calmly:

"I am a little sleepy."

Forsi yawned, wiped two tears from the corners of his eyes, reached for the boiling water, and muttered:

"Xiu, why don't you go to bed? I'm already very sleepy. I'll take a sip of hot water to moisten my throat and then go to bed. Good night."

Immediately afterwards, she resisted the urge to escape, tried hard to hold back her trembling hands, swung her legs and walked towards her room step by step, as if every foot was stepping on cotton.

Fortunately, until she returned to the room with the hot water bottle, Xio didn't say anything, but was still thinking about something.

The moment Forsi closed the door, she suddenly heard the other party speaking in a normal tone:

"you're right."

"I think too much."

…

In Source Castle.

Antigonus had already reached a cooperation with Bethel and turned the offensive, forcing the God of War into danger. Klein, the waiter, had nothing to do and began to lose focus.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed an abnormality in a crimson star on Origin Castle. Klein immediately blocked Antigonus's perception of it, and saw a vague figure emerging from it, and then This figure instantly occupied the crimson star that represented "Judgment", causing Klein to lose his sense of Xio for a moment.

Klein's eyes suddenly widened, and a thought subconsciously flashed through his mind:

——You came to me first before I came to trouble you!

Just when a thought flashed across Klein's mind, the golden figure's gaze penetrated the crimson stars representing "Judgment" and cast its gaze toward the ancient palace above the gray mist.

Immediately, the voice of the vague figure "him" echoed with unusual magnificence:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

haven't seen you for a long time? haven't seen you for a long time! Does he know the former owner of "Origin Castle", the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun"? Oh, it's definitely not George III. Who is this... could it be an alien god? Or is it another hidden existence, the incarnation of sefirah? Then it should be "Him"... He can actually talk to me directly with the help of Ms. "Judgment"... Klein's thoughts suddenly turned around, and his spirit suddenly became tense.

Based on these years of experience and relying on the ability of the "clown", his body suddenly relaxed and he leisurely assumed the posture of a waiter.

Immediately afterwards, Klein opened his mouth and responded:

"Ah."

He did not answer in the affirmative, nor did he defend himself as false. He just showed a contemptuous, natural and condescending attitude.

The distorted and blurred golden figure hummed:

"You are so weak. No wonder I haven't heard your name spread in these thousands of years."

Honorable name... weak... He really knows the former owner of "Origin Castle"... maybe he is really an existence active in the first era? While thinking a lot, Klein smiled and said:

"What you see may not be the truth."

"Haha." The twisted and fuzzy golden figure laughed twice, "You still like to deceive, but the state of 'Origin Castle' cannot deceive me. Under normal circumstances, I can't penetrate the outer layer at all. For protection, talk to you like this."

"How do you know I didn't show this on purpose?" Klein asked with a relaxed expression.

"It doesn't make any sense for you to deceive me." The twisted and fuzzy golden "djinn" responded immediately.

...Why do I feel like a victim of fraud saying that I have nothing and even sold my kidneys... What on earth did the former owner of "Origin Castle", the existence suspected of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", do to this guy... ...Klein used complaints to relieve the pressure in his heart, and then smiled:

“It’s not up to you to define whether it has meaning or not.”

The golden blurry figure of the "Deng Shen" shook slightly:

"Judging from the current state of 'Origin Castle', it seems that you need some help."

He didn't dwell on the topic just now, and instead pointed directly at the situation he observed.

...This guy can actually see this... His status is really high... What exactly is He? Talking about the Lord of Mysteries in this tone, he is most likely an incarnation of the source of essence... Klein's eyes narrowed slightly, and he almost lost his composure.

He immediately controlled his movements and expressions, and responded with a smile:

"You think it is."
