"Adam is closer to Godhood."
Such a simple sentence instantly caused a storm in the hearts of every member of the Tarot Club.
Except for Leonard the Star, and Hugh the Judge, who was informed of some important common sense by the Magician, the rest of the team suddenly recalled the information related to Adam:
The son of the ancient sun god and the creator of the City of Silver, the brother of the "blasphemer" Amon, and suspected to be one of the eight kings of angels!
And this mythical figure who existed before the Cataclysm has begun to be active in the real world again, and is even closer to the throne of God!
This… could make Mr. Fool sigh, which meant that Adam was most likely only one step away from Godhood and Sequence 0, and he could take that step at any time… Alger, the Hanged Man, made a subconscious judgment, then clenched his hands, uncontrollably turning over various thoughts:
"A true God of Sequence 0 is about to be born!
"Will there be a true god born in the Fifth Epoch?
“Will this be the first true God achieved in this era?
"After the gods stopped descending into the real world, Sequence 0 actually appeared!"
Alger had always thought that he was very ambitious, and now he had even set his sights on Sequence 2, the angel level. But after hearing about Adam's situation, he still found it a little hard to accept.
You should know that the last true god who achieved Sequence 0 was the "God of Craftsmen" in the past and the current "God of Steam and Machinery", and the time goes back to the middle and late Quaternary period.
Since the Fifth Era, in more than 1,300 years, no one has ascended to the throne of God!
No wonder Mr. Fool said that the times have changed because of this… While Cattleya was in a state of confusion, she suddenly understood something, as if she saw the wave that rolled in at the end of every era and swept away everything.
She had originally gathered all the materials and started preparing for the Sequence 4 ritual, hoping to gain divinity and change her life form in the future. She was in a state of joy, anticipation, and anxiety, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable panic and fear, and just wanted to communicate with the Queen face to face to confirm the future.
The reactions of members such as "Magician" Fors and "Judgement" Xio were similar. On the one hand, they were shocked that Adam was challenging the rank of a god. They did not expect such a thing to happen in the Fifth Epoch. On the other hand, they had some concerns about their current lives. After all, whether it was "Moon" Emlyn, who was born in the blood clan, or "Justice" Audrey, who was in the upper circle of the Kingdom of Loen, they all lived in the Fifth Epoch, in an atmosphere precipitated by thousands of years of history. They did not dare to blaspheme the righteous gods in the slightest. Even when facing evil gods such as the "True Creator", they were in awe from the bottom of their hearts and recognized their status and level. Therefore, they did not dare to believe that there would suddenly be another god, and they did not dare to imagine what would happen next.
——In their eyes, The Fool is a resurrected ancient god, an existence that originally sat at the Sequence 0 position.
Closer to becoming a god... "Sun" Derrick was even more excited. He seemed to have seen hope and a goal to strive for.
In his opinion, only Sequence 0 can save the City of Silver!
Adam? Becoming a god... Although "Star" Leonard didn't know who Adam was, he could still understand the simple and easy-to-understand sentence "closer to the throne of godhood".
He immediately thought of the ordinary priest who picked up "0-08" in front of Klein after the previous battle.
"That's Adam? Or Adam's subordinates? No, 0-08 is a '0' level sealed item. Only Adam, who is very close to the throne of God, can be sure of success if he takes action personally... No wonder the battle with Ince Zangwill was much simpler than I expected. I thought the best outcome for Klein and I would be to drag Ince Zangwill into hell together... Who is Adam? How come I have never heard of him..." Perhaps because there was an angel parasitizing in his body and he knew some secrets of the Fourth Epoch, Leonard was not so shocked by Adam's further progress on the road to becoming a god. He was more confused and curious about his true identity.
At this time, the Fool shrouded in gray fog did not speak again, nor did he make any further explanations or clarifications. It seemed that he was simply reminding all members to be prepared for the changes of the times.
Everyone was either in a trance or in a state of confusion. The World Gehrman Sparrow glanced at the Star Leonard and said simply:
"Adam is the son of the ancient sun god and the brother of Amon the Blasphemer."
Leonard was startled and couldn't control his expression.
He was deeply impressed by Amon, and even because of the description of the old man Pales Zoroast, he had a very serious psychological trauma about that existence. And Adam turned out to be Amon's brother, and his terrifying level was probably on the same level as the other!
The World ignored the Star's reaction and continued:
"It can be confirmed at present that Adam is one of the eight angel kings, with the title of 'Angel of Imagination', on par with 'Angel of Time' Amon.
"His purpose in dealing with Ince Zangwill was to obtain 0-08 and make up for the shortcomings on the road to becoming a god, and His plan was successful."
The fantasy angel... Is Adam the king of angels from the "audience" path? "Justice" Audrey immediately thought of the title of the dragon king Angerweed, "The Fantasy Dragon"!
And she already knew that the psychic dragons represented the "audience" path.
As for Leonard, he once again had difficulty understanding and was stumped by the concept of the King of Angels. He was too embarrassed to ask questions and planned to wait for the old man to wake up and then ask Him for advice.
The Hanged Man Alger pondered over the words of The World Gehrman Sparrow. His expression became slightly strange, and he asked tentatively:
"You seem to have witnessed this incident?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he and the Hermit Cattleya and others heard that familiar hoarse laughter.
After World Gehrman Sparrow finished laughing, he glanced at Star and said casually:
"It was me and my companions who killed Ince Zangwill."
"..." The Hermit Cattleya's mind went blank for a moment.
She could accept that Gehrman Sparrow easily dealt with the "Admiral of Hell", but she never thought that he would one day be able to kill a true Sequence 4 Demigod!
Cattleya quickly calmed down, because in a battle involving the Angel King, it was not impossible for a Sequence 5 to kill a seriously injured demigod due to a variety of coincidences, and he had companions.
Audrey, the Justice, “read” some certainty and confidence from the tone of “The World” and couldn’t help asking curiously:
"Mr. 'World', have you become a demigod?"
The World Gehrman Sparrow did not give a direct answer, but laughed:
"If you have any matters involving demigods in the future, you can entrust me with them."
Every member present could hear what he meant:
He is already a genuine Sequence 4 Demigod, and has the power to kill powerful beings of the same level!
At this moment, Cattleya the Hermit was strangely calm. She tried hard to recall the deeds of Gehrman Sparrow that she had witnessed and heard about. She was absolutely certain that he was only at the Sequence 6 level before the God War Ruins, and that he could only fight against Sequence 5 with the help of the glove.
The fact that Gehrman Sparrow was looking for mermaids in the God War Ruins but did not hunt any of them could be explained as a requirement of the ritual. This meant that he was indeed promoted to Sequence 5 at the time, and his subsequent performance also confirmed this.
But now, only about three months after Gehrman Sparrow entered the God War Ruins, he has been promoted to Sequence 4 and become a demigod, half-human being. This completely overturned Cattleya's cognition!
She was not old, not even thirty, but she could become Sequence 5 and obtained the title of "Admiral of the Stars" about seven or eight years ago. However, it was not until the last one or two years that she felt confident enough to challenge the door to demigod and half-human, and began to make corresponding preparations. She thought that this was already a very outstanding speed.
Mr. World is so amazing! He has become a demigod so quickly! Derrick the Sun was genuinely delighted, and his admiration for Mr. World grew stronger. He only wished that he could become a demigod as quickly as he did.
Audrey Justice was both surprised and delighted, and immediately understood more about the abnormal mental state of Gehrman Sparrow:
"It seems that his low mood, gloom and depression are partly due to the changes after becoming a demigod. This is the negative effect of the potion that has gradually accumulated, just like when I became a 'psychologist' and almost lost control of my own condition...
"Also, after he became a Sequence 4 and gained divinity, he was naturally able to see more of the truth, and thus discovered that he had been asleep for a long time, his family had passed away, and he had suddenly lost his goal...
"How pitiful! With his gentle heart, he must have had an extremely deep affection for his family and friends...
“However, I am really envious. As Mr. Fool’s Favored One, can I be promoted so quickly? I also want to become a demigod sooner. Mr. Fool’s words just now, ‘The times have changed because of this’, really make me panic…”
While members like Emlyn the Moon were shocked and stunned, Alger the Hanged Man had similar emotions and was deeply envious and jealous of Gehrman Sparrow the World, but he thought of something more:
As the follower of Mr. Fool, it was no accident that Gehrman Sparrow was involved in the matter between Adam, the Angel King, and 0-08...
On the other hand, it is more reasonable and explainable that this was a joint plan by "Angel of Fantasy" Adam and Mr. Fool!
Two mythical figures who existed before the Cataclysm, one for revival, the other for further advancement, came together secretly!
As his thoughts raced, Alger came up with another idea:
Since Adam got the "0-08" and opened the door to the throne of God, what about Mr. Fool? What benefits did he gain from this matter?
Subconsciously, the "Hanged Man" Alger turned around, lowered his head slightly, and looked towards the top of the long bronze table.
He didn't dare look directly and could only pay attention to the edges and corners.
PS: I recommend a fantasy novel by a fellow book friend. If you read the introduction, you will know that it is a Curly-haired Baboon novel, The Ruler of Eternal Night. He traveled to a magical world, picked up a godhead, and unexpectedly gained a group of believers. The life of a magician with cheats began from then on.
