At the critical moment, Cao Ya, piloting the Death Note, personally arrived outside the mausoleum, trapped Triss Chick, and seemed to be helping George III.
"I will never forget Lord Cao Ya's kindness in helping me, and I will never forget it! When I become a god, I will definitely repay it!"
The voice of George III, emanating from within the mausoleum, was also filled with joy.
His aura gradually stabilized, his madness dissipated, and he almost digested the potion, truly becoming the "Black Emperor" of Sequence Zero!
Triss Chick sensed a hint of despair.
"Bastard!" She stared at Cao Ya, her eyes filled with hatred.
He was about to take revenge and perish together with George III, but then...
Even the powerful figures who caused damage at other mausoleums—including Klein, the mysterious Queen Bernadette, Renette Tinicul, and the secret servant Ariana—as well as the protective angels, Hermes and the god Nieceia, sensed it and were confused or astonished.
"Cao Ya? That strongest pirate king? Is he the king's biggest backup plan?" Hermes wondered, then became very interested. Sensing the distance, he barely managed to hold back the Hidden Servant, an angel on earth under the command of the Goddess of Night.
It's clear that his willingness to take action wasn't strong.
“Cao Ya, why…” The mysterious Queen Bernadette frowned.
As fellow pirate queens, she had interacted with Cao Ya and, through Cattleya, learned that Cao Ya was also a member of the Tarot Club.
Logically speaking, Cao Ya and Klein should be on the same side.
Why……
The mysterious queen scanned the area and was shocked to find that Klein's expression was also unusually astonished.
Characters like Renette Tinicul, Ariana, and the god Niece'a showed little reaction; they remained either dazed and wooden, or continued their madness and derangement, dominated by chaos, only occasionally regaining their senses.
“Mr. Cao Ya, he…” Klein was taken aback, but he trusted Cao Ya and felt that this gentleman must have his own plans.
In any case, Klein was 100% certain that Mr. Cao Ya would never collude with George III!
At the same time, he was also horrified.
Triss Chick, as a Sequence Four demigod, summoned a god, the Primordial Witch Chick, a Sequence Zero True God of the "Witch" pathway. The power of the Primordial Witch Chick was manifested in Triss Chick; it was the might of a true god, which even made the Sequence One angels change color. As a result, Mr. Cao Ya directly sealed Triss Chick, rendering the Primordial Witch's divine power unable to resist!
It was as if a true god had personally descended.
Not to mention Klein, all the other angels, saints, and demigods were shocked by this scene.
The true gods watching from afar, and some angels lurking in the shadows, are also miniature versions of children.
They were not only surprised, but also extremely confused.
There is no gap in the path through which a true God suddenly appeared.
Why does Cao Ya, the "Boiler of the Sea," possess god-like power?!
Outside the most crucial mausoleum, Cao Ya stood on the deck of the Death Note, gazing at the large tomb below, as if traversing the void to see George III inside.
His face was filled with joy.
"I'm here to help you? Ha, George III, you're not wrong, I'm here to help you... send you on your way!"
Cao Ya spoke, standing at the bow of the ship, his right hand outstretched, his five fingers spread wide, like five divine swords, suddenly bursting forth with an incomparably sharp sword intent.
Whoosh!
!
A barrage of sword light descended, shattering the mausoleum. The sharp sword energy also obliterated everything within the tomb.
"Cao Ya, what are you doing?" George III was shocked and furious. He was about to become the "Black Emperor" when a sudden sword light shattered his plans.
"Can't you tell? I'm killing you." Cao Ya grinned.
He never intended to help George III become a god.
He simply wanted to destroy George III himself.
At his most joyful moment, strike him with a sword, plunging him into the abyss of despair.
"Madman! What the hell did I do to you!" George III roared, a surge of madness washing over him, even more ferocious than before.
With his mausoleum destroyed, he was finally powerless to resist. His entire body twisted, radiating boundless malice that seemed capable of polluting heaven and earth.
“Cao Ya, Triss Chick, Klein, Bernadette…”
George III roared in fury. Before he went completely mad, he still had a sliver of clarity and possessed terrifying power. He would use this to curse those who had ruined his path to godhood.
perish together!
However, a beam of sword light swept across, emerging from all directions, as if it possessed spatial power.
These sword energies pierced directly through George III's twisted body, annihilating all his divine power.
In the end, only a pool of blood and mud remained inside the ruins of the tomb.
George III, who had schemed and plotted his way to the end, died!
And there is no hope of resurrection!
Then, Cao Ya released the restrictions on Triss Chick and with a casual sword stroke, wiped out all the divine power of the primordial witch.
This terrifying power shook the experts from all sides.
"The true god? Or...the ancient past?!"
******
King George III, who was giving a speech in Backlund Square, suddenly exploded on the spot with a bang, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
"ah!
!
!
The huge square fell silent for a moment, then erupted in screams that echoed through the sky.
Officials, extraordinary individuals, and nobles all wore solemn expressions, their senses of foreboding palpable.
Audrey, who had come with her family, stared blankly at the splattered blood and flesh for a moment.
Immediately, she felt a sense of unease, as if she hadn't expected it.
Audrey was well aware of the "fool's" attitude.
How could George III, who was not yet a god, possibly withstand the malice of a true god?
For so long, it seems that the "fool" has never failed at anything he wanted to do?
Audrey suddenly felt a touch of divine power, like a prison.
******
On the other side.
With the death of George III, the mysterious Queen Bernadette, Renette Tinicul, the secret servant Ariana, and others are all preparing to leave, not thinking of fighting to the death with Hermes, the god of evil, and other angels or demigods.
The outcome is already decided; there's no point in fighting anymore.
Klein had intended to retreat as well, but Zarathustra suddenly appeared and blocked his path.
Zarathustra, an earthly angel of the "Fool" pathway, possesses a stronger ability to suppress Klein, who is also of the "Fool" pathway.
Most importantly, everyone who is an extraordinary being through the "Fool's" path, the "Gate" path, or the "Error" path covets that Source Castle.
Besides, there are many things that Zarathustra wants about Klein.
He had been waiting for this opportunity!
"Sizzle~~"
Within the gray-white mist in Klein's field of vision, a vortex emerged, composed of countless transparent worms, with transparent, slippery tentacles extending outwards in all directions.
At this moment, Klein was trapped in a quagmire, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as he was gradually transported into the vortex formed by the transparent worm.
All of Klein's abilities seemed to be restricted and unusable.
Those with higher sequences in the same pathway can exert a crushing effect on those with lower sequences.
Because others possess all these amazing abilities, and are even stronger and more familiar with them!
How could Zarathustra, who had waited so long, allow Klein to escape?
However, Klein's trump card was beyond Zarathustra's imagination.
Peng!
An ancient book with a dark cover flew out, and a peculiar pattern spread, disrupting Zarathustra's control and giving Deklein a moment of freedom.
Grosse's Travels!
The items made by the ancient god of the Second Age, the Imaginary Dragon, were wondrous creations born from his imagination, and also contained a trace of God's corruption.
The extraordinary ability of the "Dreamer" pathway is quite bizarre; it allows one to conjure up people or things out of thin air and make them truly exist.
Relics of the ancient gods, and contaminated by God—Zarathustra dared not control such items without understanding their nature, hence his actions faltered for a breath.
"A great opportunity!"
Klein's eyes lit up.
Taking this opportunity, Klein ventured into the world of the book.
With careful attention, it is still possible to avoid God's influence.
After all, the old pillar of God corresponds to the dreamer, the white tower, the tyrant, the sun, and the hanged man.
The "Fool's" path corresponds to the Celestial Venerable.
It's like there's a layer between them.
Furthermore, the seal on the ancient god, the Imaginary Dragon, has always existed.
Of course, if you want to actively control this travelogue without any trump cards, you're just asking for trouble!
The contingency plans left behind by the Imaginary Dragon alone are enough to cause serious trouble.
Klein didn't intend to completely control the ancient book; he merely wanted to borrow its power to evade Zarathustra, change the teleportation point, engage in combat, and find an opportunity to escape.
As he expected, Zarathustra's fear gave him time to break free from control.
Upon entering the world of the book, Klein uses his extraordinary abilities as an "ancient scholar" to summon various extraordinary beings from the gaps in history to confront Zarathustra.
These extraordinary beings are merely images, possessing only a portion of the abilities of the original entity.
Top-tier extraordinary individuals could even directly sense the reverse, pinpoint Klein's location, and assassinate him.
Therefore, Klein chose either people he knew or people who were already dead.
Choose the enemy...
That's just plain stupid, deliberately courting death!
Some of the sealed artifacts that Klein had seen before were being summoned, and his right hand kept grabbing at the void in front of him.
"This is the world described in 'The Travels of Grosser,' closely connected to the 'Dreamer's' path. Perhaps I can give 0-08 a try..."
Klein had an idea and began to try it.
0-08 The Pen of Alshogod, a level 0 sealed item, is one of the strongest items below the source material level. It corresponds to the first sequence of the "Dreamer" pathway, namely, an extraordinary characteristic of the "Writer".
"There's hope!"
Klein's eyes lit up. After several attempts, 0-08 appeared in his hand. Just as he was about to write it on the wall, 0-08 suddenly disappeared.
It hasn't reached its limit yet.
Klein's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding began to rise within him.
In the world of the book, a slight sound suddenly arose, and a figure appeared, praying before a huge cross with a very devout expression.
“'Imaginary Angel' Adam!” Klein’s eye twitched.
Now we're truly caught between a rock and a hard place.
However, Adam is divine and they have met before, so he may not necessarily be a threat to him.
Klein's ascension to the Sequence of Four was accomplished in the ritual witnessed by Adam.
If it were Adam's brother, Amon...
Klein felt that it would be better to slit his throat and commit suicide.
With the help of the Source Castle, he can be resurrected!
There is no need for resuscitation inside another person's body.
In the latter case, Klein's motivation stemmed from deep-seated aversion.
"With the fall of George III, the Loen suffered a severe blow, and various countries joined the fray, launching a war that swept the world."
"Do you accept this ending?"
Adam finished his devout prayer, turned to face Klein, and spoke softly.
Klein felt ashamed.
However, before he could answer, Adam's eyes darted around, looking out at the outside world.
"Zarathustra, you are still inferior to your ancestors."
Outside, after Cao Ya killed George III, he relaxed the restrictions on Triss Chick and rode the Death Note, tearing through the void and descending upon this mausoleum.
Coincidentally, Klein had already entered Grossell's Travels.
Cao Ya glanced at it briefly, but didn't pay attention.
Conversely, Zarathustra, who was meticulously planning to lay a trap to imprison Klein in the void, came into Cao Ya's sights.
This included another angel king who was patiently waiting nearby.
“Well, I take back what I just said, Zaratu, you and your ancestors are just as unlucky,” Cao Ya laughed.
During the Quaternary Period, Zarathustra's ancestor, who was a Sequence One, perished after encountering Antigonus and Mr. "Gate".
Now Zarathustra has also encountered the Angel King through the "wrong" means.
However, the "Angel of Time," Amon, was very patient and did not rush to appear.
But she couldn't escape Cao Ya's perception.
"Buzz..."
In the void, countless transparent worms surged violently, exuding a twisted and frenzied aura, as if trying to infect Cao Ya.
Meanwhile, the worms were rapidly disappearing, moving far away from the area.
The scene of Cao Ya displaying his divine power, killing George III, and erasing the original demoness was still vivid in his mind.
Zarathustra did not believe he could withstand such power.
Moreover, after hearing Cao Ya's words, he also gained a clear understanding of Amon's existence.
"Trying to leave?"
Cao Ya chuckled.
With a casual flick of the wrist, sword energy exploded, as if falling from the highest point and spreading throughout the universe.
"ah!
!
The transparent worms were all killed; they were part of Zarathustra's true form. As mythical creatures, their essence was extremely twisted.
“Lord Cao Ya…” Zaratu seemed about to beg for mercy.
However, Cao Ya was too lazy to listen. Following a special connection in some spacetime, he used the move "The Extinction of the Dao and the Creation of the Dao" to directly erase Zaratu's main body and all his backup plans.
There's no way he can be resurrected!
Earthly angels, however, are as vulnerable as those of low to mid-level rank under his sword.
Upon seeing this scene, both Adam in the book and Amon outside the book narrowed their eyes, a glint of light flashing in their eyes.
Whoosh!
Another sword strike, and Cao Ya's "The Travels of Groselle," created by the Imaginary Dragon, was severed on the spot. Its unique space was revealed and merged with reality, no longer independent.
"Klein, come over here," Cao Ya said with a smile, beckoning.
Without hesitation, Klein flew out.
Adam watched quietly without interfering.
He didn't harbor any deep malice towards Klein.
The two people's paths were completely unrelated.
They are not adjacent.
"Should I call you Adam, or the Ancient Sun God?" Cao Ya asked, staring at the "Imaginary Angel".
Klein was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, somewhat surprised.
Wasn't the ancient sun god Adam's father?
However, Adam did not refute Cao Ya's words.
He simply looked at Cao Ya quietly with eyes as clear as a mirror.
“Cao Ya, your power does not belong to the twenty-two paths of the gods.” Adam spoke softly, his voice calm, yet it resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Just then, the mysterious Queen Bernadette, the secret servant Ariana, Renette Tinicul, Hermes, and others arrived.
The angel Amon, who had been hiding in the shadows, no longer remained in hiding. He appeared openly, riding a bicycle and wearing a monocle on his right eye.
The Red Angel, the evil spirit, also appeared, and looked at the gathering of powerful figures, chuckled.
"How interesting! The great battle is over, and here we are, with a whole bunch of Angel Kings and Earthly Angels..."
The Red Angel Evil Spirit looked at Klein and Bernadette again.
"There are also two Saints of Sequence Three."
"Well, they have a lot of trump cards up their sleeves, they even dare to meddle in the affairs between angels."
Before Klein and Bernadette could answer, the red angel greeted the brothers Adam and Amon:
"Of the eight archangel kings, only we can gather together. As for the others... tsk tsk, those three true gods will never come!"
"If you come, you'll only kill the two of you brothers!"
The group of people listened and felt that this guy truly deserved to be called the "Conqueror" of the "Red Priest" pathway sequence one; his eloquence really made them want to take him down.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya smiled, but otherwise showed little emotion.
