Chapter 712 The Fool's Help
This is... the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
In the image of Mr. Fool responding to the prayer and transmitted to Angel, the latter immediately discovered the source of the crimson aura.
That was the light emitted by the scarlet planet she had seen on Oravi Island when she and Klein were fighting against the mutated admiral's mistress Cynthia, after blocking some "external" force.
Compared with the blood moon of similar color, it is more enchanting, and seems to be mixed with countless desires. Just one glance at it will make all kinds of bizarre and charming thoughts emerge in people's minds. Even though Angel has passed a certain stage of being a witch, she is still a little uneasy at this time.
Fortunately, this strange scene was separated by a layer of gray fog, which allowed her to quickly get rid of the power of desire.
Praise Mr. Fool... Angel thanked that being devoutly, but immediately felt confused and bewildered: How should he deal with the power attached to his body... specifically, the spirit?
There is no doubt that in the battle just now, the "Mother Tree of Desire" behind the "Evil God" Suea took advantage of the brief contact between Angel and the evil god's black giant hand to secretly attach this power to Angel's spirit.
The reason why he didn't choose the body was probably because he was worried that Anne, who was nearby, would notice anything unusual. As a "balancer", she was extremely sensitive to the "imbalance" of any object in the surrounding environment. She should be able to detect the abnormality in Angel and "purify" him with her own power, or at least give a warning.
The contamination of the spirit body will probably not be discovered for quite a long time, until...
This was like the conspiracy of the Celestial Cult on Oravi Island against Admiral Amyrius. Afterwards, Klein deduced that the real target of the Mother Tree of Desire was not the Admiral, but us... Thinking of this, Angel shuddered.
As the gray mist image showing Angel's true state dissipated, her sight just returned to herself when she found a flash of crimson light before her eyes, which made her immediately nervous, but then, the world in the book before her turned into a mysterious palace shrouded in gray mist, with a long bronze table and twenty-two high-backed chairs.
Her spirit arrived at the gathering place of the "Tarot Club".
Unlike the countless times she had come here before, the gray fog surrounding the palace this time was like the steam on the surface of a boiling soup pot, boiling on its own, wrapping Angel like an invisible giant hand, melting the red light emerging from her body, and cutting off some connection with the infinite distance.
This made Angel feel an intense pain as if his soul was being torn apart. He couldn't help but hug his shoulders with his hands, curl up his body, and groan softly.
But in contrast, her heart was filled with joy.
Fortunately, Mr. Fool can solve the pollution caused by the Mother Tree of Desire...
…
Looking at "Queen" Angel, who was bent over the bronze table with her head down and trying her best not to groan, "The Fool" Klein, who was hidden in the gray fog, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After realizing that Angel was in danger and using the properties of Groselle's Travels and the blood left by the other party in advance to rescue him, he originally planned to send the travels back to the real world and welcome the other party back as Klein, but he once again heard the devout prayer of this Fool's believer.
After looking through the crimson stars, even the knowledgeable "fool" was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
It's the "Mother Tree of Desire" again...
He seemed obsessed with using his own aura and power to pollute Klein and Angel, and he had a ruthless determination not to give up until he achieved his goal. The first time was on Oravi Island, when Klein accepted the commission to play Admiral Amyrius. The "Mother Tree of Desire" used the "Cult of the Celestial Body" to openly pollute Cynthia, trying to make her have a child with the "Admiral". In fact, the target was accurately pointed at Klein in the role, and Angel behind him.
Fortunately, in order to conceal his true purpose, the evil god did not use much power, so he was eliminated by the two of them working together.
The second time, He instructed the "Rose School" to set an ambush in Bayam, sending out two demigods and the "Blood Admiral" Senior, intending to capture both alive and achieve their goal in a more direct way.
However, thanks to the reminder from "Orange Light" Hilarion, the two were fully prepared and successfully fought back during their escape. Although the "divine evil" Suea of the "Rose School" eventually descended on the outskirts of Bayam with part of his power, Angel also summoned the "Balancer" Annie. The battle ended with Angel intercepting and killing the "Rose School" demigod Zatvin who was trying to escape, completing the ceremony to be promoted to demigod.
Then, this time, fortunately, the magical and mysterious gray fog was still effective against all "invading" forces. Even the power of a true god seemed unable to penetrate... Watching the gray fog gradually dissipate, Angel's trembling slowly stopped. Klein the Fool closed his eyes with a sense of distress, gently tapped the table, and whispered:
"It seems that you are in some trouble?"
…
As the gray fog surrounding him faded away, Angel opened his eyes and took stock of his situation.
Although only spirits came before the Fool's Seat, she was now able to confirm that the aura originating from the Mother Tree of Desire had completely disappeared.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Fool."
She stood up and bowed, then told the god everything that had happened at the pirate conference.
Of course, some of it was her speculation, such as the fact that almost all the pirates participating in the event were contaminated and became sacrifices. She believed that the food or beer prepared on the dock had been tampered with in advance by the "Rose School", because almost all the pirates left on the ship had not "mutated"; for example, the "evil god" Su'a did not intend from the beginning, or did not think that he could successfully transmit all his power, or even his body, to the sky above the deserted island in the sea, so he "kept a hand" in advance, made a last-ditch effort when he was about to be expelled, and successfully left a trace of power in Angel's spirit.
"...I believe that 'Divine Evil' Sua was not seriously injured in this battle. After all, 'Petrification' is at best a Sequence 2 power, while 'He' is a Sequence 1. He only transferred part of his body and power to the distant place..."
Angel concluded his narrative with this speculation, then sat quietly in the high-backed chair, waiting for Mr. Fool's comments.
She was actually a little nervous because before the battle, she recited the Fool's Name beside Annie, which was considered a "leak of secrets" under the rules of the Tarot Club.
Of course, Anne would only tell the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette, who already knew I was a follower of "The Fool." It would be easy for her to get this honorific title from various rumors. After all, the "Aurora Society" had once widely publicized and searched for "The Fool Who Doesn't Belong to This Era"... She comforted herself in her heart.
After a moment, The Fool chuckled and said:
"I don't think the 'Mother Tree of Desire' actually projected its power into reality. According to your description, the 'Divine Evil' Sua first descended through pre-arranged rituals and temporary sacrifices. After the 'King of the Five Seas' killed some of the sacrifices, causing the complete descent to fail, Sua prayed to the 'Bound God' and accepted the power of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'... This multiple transmission of power may not have much effect. Perhaps it can only locate you after you leave 'Groselle's Travels' for the next action.
"Even if you remove this power, you must pay attention to the possible actions of the 'Rose School', or report it to the Seven Great Orthodox Sects and obtain their assistance."
After The Fool's explanation, Angel contemplated it and agreed with this reasoning. Otherwise, how could the power of a true God be purified so easily? Those Beyonders contaminated by evil gods like the True Creator and the Primordial Witch could quickly resolve their problems simply by converting to the Church of the True God. In reality, however, they often died from various bizarre occult incidents...
But no matter what, The Fool responded to her prayer and helped her purify the breath.
However, a hidden god suggested that I report it to the Orthodox God Sect?
Angel's expression was a little stiff behind the gray mist, and he didn't know whether he should take over the conversation.
Mr. Fool must have felt that such a small matter shouldn't be bothered with Him... She found an excuse and stood up and bowed again:
“Thanks for your advice and help.”
As the red light flashed, The Fool was once again the only one left in the palace shrouded in gray fog.
Then, Klein quickly leaned back, escaped from the gray fog, and returned to the bedroom of his house in the North District in reality.
He immediately placed the "Groselle's Travels" that he had given himself on the table, straightened his clothes, and put a smile on his face again.
Then, he opened his arms and greeted Angel, who suddenly appeared in the bedroom with a look of fear on his face.
"Welcome back!"
