Chapter 11: Changes in Levels



Hearing Mr. Fool's words, Alger's heart trembled inexplicably, and he suddenly felt the same way as when he prayed to the Lord of Storms on Pasu Island.

When he greeted Mr. Fool just now, he did not notice any changes in him. Everything seemed to be the same as usual, but at this moment, he believed that Mr. Fool was different from the past.

This was an inspirational experience that Alger could not accurately describe in words. He just felt that the body wrapped in the gray-white mist contained thousands or tens of thousands of times more terror than before. A seemingly plain sentence or a simple action could absolutely suppress a person's personality.

Mr. Fool has further revived… After the World went to the God-Forsaken Land and brought out the City of Silver, Mr. Fool has further revived… “He” has now reached the status of Sequence 0? If it weren’t for the Sailor’s path’s sensitivity to the levels of those at higher levels, I wouldn’t even have noticed… Alger, the Hanged Man, had wanted to speak, but now he had forgotten what he had wanted to say.

Leonard looked around and saw that the other members remained silent, so he spoke tentatively:

"According to the intelligence we have collected so far, a war between gods did take place before. It is certain that the ones who appeared in the sky above Backlund were the 'Goddess of Night', the 'God of War', and the 'Mother Goddess of the Earth'. As for the result, I think everyone is clear about it. What do you think about it?"

Leonard had mentioned the relevant matter at the Tarot gathering last week, and took the initiative to ask Mr. Fool what exactly happened.

Unfortunately, Mr. Fool only told him that "His recent focus is on the God-Forsaken Land" without giving a direct answer.

"I can't understand why such a result occurred. The mother and son, the 'Mother Goddess of the Earth' and the 'God of War', were defeated by the 'Goddess of Night'..." "Hermit" Cattleya did not hide her doubts.

The Hanged Man Alger retracted his thoughts and said carefully:

"I received a piece of intelligence. Feynaporte switched sides just after the God War ended."

"This shows that..." Audrey "Justice" vaguely grasped something.

At this moment, "The Sun" Derrick imitated the lady opposite him, raised his arm and said:

"I think I know why."

"You?" Emlyn the Moon sounded distrustful. After all, the Sun was previously isolated in the God-forsaken Land, and his knowledge of the outside world was entirely instilled by the rest of the Tarot Club members. How could he possibly know more about the details of the God War than everyone present?

Knowing that the Sun was always honest, the Hanged Man Alger suppressed his curiosity and a little excitement from the bottom of his heart, and asked in a low voice:

"Why?"

Derrick looked around and said calmly:

"You must promise in front of Mr. Fool that you will not reveal what I am about to tell you."

"No problem." Cattleya, the Hermit, took the lead.

After everyone made their promise under the witness of The Fool, Derrick the Sun nodded:

"'Mother Earth' is not the Giant Queen Omybella. The real Omybella has long been dead, and her remains are in the City of Silver."

This news was like a bomb that landed in the hearts of the remaining members of the Tarot Club, causing a storm that was enough to destroy their sanity.

For a moment, "The Hanged Man" Alger, "Justice" Audrey and the others were speechless. It was as if they were struck by lightning. They were paralyzed in their positions like stone statues.

After a long while, "Star" Leonard asked in disbelief:

"Sure?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to regret asking such a question. Since the remains of the Giant Queen Omybella were found in Silver City, it meant that the credibility of the whole thing was very high.

Subconsciously, Audrey, the "Justice", Fors, the "Magician", Xio, the "Judgement", and the others all turned their eyes to the figure at the top of the mottled long table, and found that Mr. Fool had a smile in his eyes and maintained the same sitting posture as before, without any change.

This indirectly means that “He” recognizes the information that the little “Sun” just provided… Before “Sun” could answer “Star”’s question, “Justice” Audrey nodded slightly and said:

“This can explain many things, but if the ‘Mother Earth Goddess’ is not the Queen of Giants, then why would the ‘Angel of Destiny’ Ouroboros think that She is Omybella?

"Well, why did the 'God of War' seek cooperation with Him? Who is He?"

After hearing Miss Justice's series of questions, Alger, the Hanged Man, suddenly felt touched:

The topic of Tarot Club discussion has finally been elevated from the King of Angels to the True God!

Before, although they had prevented the coming of evil gods and exchanged secret histories, they seldom discussed the true gods directly. This was a subconscious fear, a deep mark left on them by the current world.

And now, the members of the Tarot Club have unknowingly lost the awe that comes from the depths of their souls.

Cattleya the Hermit did not notice this, and focused on the question raised by Miss Justice, and said thoughtfully:

"Perhaps the Earth Mother Goddess has been disguising herself as Omibella, deceiving the 'Angel of Destiny' and the 'God of War'..."

"How is it possible..." "Judgment" Xio whispered instinctively.

The Magician Fors took a deep breath and said:

"What a horror story."

At this time, the "world" Gehrman Sparrow, who had been silent all this time, spoke:

“Nothing is impossible.

"What if this concealment is aided by the 'Goddess of Night' and other true gods?"

"... a conspiracy that has lasted for two to three thousand years..." The eyes of "The Hanged Man" Alger froze slightly, and he instinctively shrank his body. He felt a kind of fear from the soul towards the "Goddess of Night" and the "Mother Goddess of the Earth".

The Tarot Club members were silent again until Leonard the Star repeated Miss Justice's last question:

"Who is the 'Mother Earth'?"

As he spoke, he glanced at World Klein Moretti, trying to get an answer from this former colleague.

Just then, they heard the long-lost knocking sound.

That's Mr. Fool tapping on the table.

Audrey and the others were cheered up, and turned to the top of the long bronze table, respectfully waiting for Mr. Fool's answer.

Klein the Fool chuckled and said:

"I can give you some hints."

After looking left and right, he continued:

"Why does the Church of the Earth like to develop vampires into believers?

"'Earth' and 'Moon' are two adjacent pathways.

“Rumor has it that in the Second Age, the ancient goddess Lilith, who represented the ‘moon’, fell due to the betrayal of the Giant King.

"He occasionally responds to the vampires' prayers, and it seems that he is not completely dead."

After four hints, all the Tarot Club members, including Emlyn the Moon, came up with an answer:

"The true identity of 'Mother Earth' is Lilith, the founder of the vampire race!"

Emlyn's eyes suddenly widened, and he instinctively sat up straight, his mind a mess with all kinds of thoughts.

Leonard was stunned at first, then he whispered thoughtfully:

"A few days ago, the Church of Darkness stopped promoting the title of 'Lord of Crimson' and renamed the prayer gesture of drawing the red moon to "pointing the stars..."

He is a senior deacon of the Night Watchers and is qualified to read the corresponding documents.

"Did the 'Goddess of Night' make an exchange with the authority of the 'Moon' domain?" Cattleya, the Hermit, spoke out the conclusion that lingered in everyone's mind.

At this moment, they no longer had any doubts about the true identity of the 'Mother Earth Goddess'.

“Thank you for your tip.” Audrey Justice immediately bowed to Mr. Fool.

After the others expressed their gratitude, they looked at Emlyn, who was still standing there.

The Mother Goddess is the Ancestor... The Ancestor is the Mother Goddess... It turns out that I have never changed my faith... No wonder I still habitually go to the Harvest Church without the corresponding psychological hint from the priest... That's because my intuition tells me that the Mother Goddess is the Ancestor! Therefore, the Ancestor favored me and made me the savior of the blood race... Emlyn's mind flashed one thought after another, and he found a reasonable explanation for all the things that made him feel guilty before.

He began to believe that he was the most pious vampire!

After taking a look at the "Count", the "Magician" Fors smiled with interest and said:

"Mr. Moon, wait a little longer, and maybe you will become the Archbishop of the Church of the Earth. No, you should be the Church of the Earth's plenipotentiary representative to the vampires."

The writer lady invented a title on the spot.

"Why?" Emlyn the Moon asked in confusion.

He thought that the First Ancestor would allow the vampires to remain in their previous state and not merge directly with the Church of the Earth.

"Star" Leonard smiled and said:

"Since the 'Goddess of Night' no longer has the title of 'Lord of Crimson', the 'Mother Goddess of the Earth' will soon have a similar honorific title, and it will be impossible to hide it from other churches."

Emlyn the Moon roughly understood what this high-ranking member of the Church of Evernight meant. He nodded slightly, and thought of the following scenes:

His fellow tribesmen who previously mocked his belief in the "Mother Earth Goddess" will now line up in front of him and receive his baptism.

Thinking of this, Emlyn's mood became extremely happy, and he couldn't help but raise his chin slightly.

After discussing this matter, the members of the Tarot Club fell into silence for a short time, not knowing what to say.

A few seconds later, Alger, the Hanged Man, broke this state and said calmly:

"Most of us are already demigods. The upgrade cycle has become very long, and they have their own power. The demand for extraordinary characteristics, potion formulas, and seals may only come once every few years. The focus of the gathering may have to shift to the exchange of intelligence and secret cooperation."

Audrey "Justice", Cattleya "Hermit", Leonard "Star" and others all nodded, agreeing with Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s words.

At this time, Klein the Fool looked around and said with a chuckle:

"With the end of the events related to the God-Forsaken Land, my condition has recovered a lot. You can exchange higher-level things from me."

He pretended to be calm and stated the "fact" that he was recovering, which was an answer that every member of the Tarot Club had guessed long ago.

Just as Audrey Justice and the others were wondering in their hearts what level Mr. Fool had recovered to, Klein added with a smile:

“Those high-level things include:

"The identity, character and strength of 'Sea God'."
