Chapter 180: The Worm of Time



After a brief moment of confusion, Audrey quickly figured out what the "sun" was saying:

He said that Mr. Fool sent his angels to purify Amon's clone!

Angel!

Mr. Fool has sent out an angel!

Mr. Fool really has an angel as his servant!

Every angel has at least Sequence 2 strength...

Although this is a given and something I had expected a long time ago, it is still exciting because it has finally been confirmed!

And only gods can drive angels!

Audrey's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she couldn't help but imagine what Mr. Fool's angel looked like.

I don’t know when I had the honor to meet... Her eyes were full of admiration and eagerness as she looked towards the top of the long bronze table.

At the same time, her inspiration told her that the usually gloomy Mr. "World" also sat up straight because of shock, which made her inexplicably proud.

Magician Fors recalled what happened before. She had only asked Mr. Fool to help interfere with the divination, but she saw a twelve-winged archangel descend and cover her spirit with his wings.

It was indeed an angel… an archangel with pitch-black wings and twelve pairs of wings… and this was indeed Mr. Fool’s routine operation, casually dispatching an angel to help the party members out of danger… Fors suddenly didn’t dare to look up at the gentleman sitting leisurely at the top of the long bronze table.

Although she was only Sequence 9 and had not received a complete education in the occult, she had been in different extraordinary circles for three years, and certain things would reach her ears even if she didn't deliberately inquire about them.

This contains a very important point:

“Thou shalt not look directly at God.”

In the past, Fors had not been impressed by this sentence, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that this was the truth, a truth summed up from countless blood and tears lessons.

Angel? There really is an angel beside Mr. Fool! The Hanged Man was frightened and inexplicably excited, so much so that his body was trembling slightly.

Previously, telling the Honorable Name, responding to prayers and performing rituals all indirectly indicated that Mr. Fool was equivalent to a god, but this was still lacking some direct evidence. Now, an angel appeared! His existence itself was enough to explain many things! Among them, the most important thing was that angels represented the most direct deterrence! Mr. Fool was not without influence on the real world... Even without the support of his followers, he could still let his majesty radiate to a certain area... Alger thought a lot in an instant, sweating for his previous shallowness, and felt that the future was full of light.

Then, he pondered the details of the "Sun"'s words:

Mr. Fool did not send the angels directly. Instead, he taught the Sun a ritual first. After that ritual, He sent the angels to purify Amon’s clone. This was a long detour...

Does this mean that Mr. Fool must overcome many obstacles to influence the real world? This is consistent with my previous judgment that He is sealed and restrained... But maybe there is something special about the "Forsaken Land of God"?

Mr. Fool didn’t behave like this before. Was it because he had gotten out of trouble a little? He was gradually getting out of trouble…

Klein, who was sitting in the position of The Fool, looked around slowly and clearly sensed Miss Justice's respect and eagerness, and Mr. The Hanged Man's fear and excitement.

Didn't they treat me like a god before? Why did they still react like this after hearing about the angels? It seems that indirect proof is always inferior to direct deterrence... If a new member doubts me in the future, I will prepare in advance and let the "world" jump out and speak nonsense, and then I will kill him with a casual gesture, killing the chicken to scare the monkey... When things calm down, I will create a new "world"... Klein's thoughts gradually diverged.

"Sun" Derrick couldn't quite understand the reactions of Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Miss "Justice". In his opinion, wasn't it normal for a god, a great being, to have angels serving him?

He waited for a few seconds and said:

"After Amon's clone was purified, I coughed up a small worm, exactly the same as the one in the dungeon before. Do you know what it is?"

With the help of Klein the Fool, the Sun successfully materialized into a translucent worm with twelve transparent rings on it.

Audrey the Justice and Fors the Magician looked over curiously and shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had never seen or heard of such a bug.

Twelve circles... In the Book of Secrets, similar symbols are all related to time... The Amon family is the descendant of the ancient sun god, and in ancient times, people believed that the sun and time were related... This is barely an explanation, and it can be confirmed from two aspects... However, why is the current "Eternal Blazing Sun" only the eternal light, the embodiment of order, the god of contract, and the guardian of commerce, but no longer involves the field of time... In order to maintain the image of "The Fool", Klein did not rush to answer.

He had a smile on his face and his eyes were gentle.

The Hanged Man Alger thought for a while and said:

“It should be the carrier for Amon to create his clone.

"In myths and legends, there is a bug that looks similar to this one, with twelve transparent rings, called the 'Time Bug'. However, no one has ever seen a 'Time Bug', and many people suspect that this is actually the name of a sequence potion."

"The Worm of Time"... is very close to my guess... Although this is just a myth circulated among some mid-level and above Beyonders within the church, the information itself is also of great value. Mr. "The Hanged Man" just told it like this and let everyone hear it. Is it because he has been rewarded and has learned a lot of important information from the little "Sun"? Klein sighed and laughed at what he heard.

“The Worm of Time… the carrier that Amon used to create his clone…” “Sun” Derrick whispered to himself, seeming to have solved a lot of doubts.

He asked curiously:

"What can you do with it? Dead, I mean."

"I don't know." Under the trusting and respectful gaze of The Sun, Alger, the Hanged Man, suddenly felt a little ashamed.

At this time, The Fool, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, spoke calmly:

"The main ingredient for certain rituals."

This was Klein's speculation based on the contents of The Book of Secrets.

But he was not worried at all that he might be wrong because it was almost impossible to disprove.

Not finding a ritual that requires the Worm of Time only means that you haven't seen enough! Klein added leisurely in his heart.

Certain rituals… "Justice" Audrey and others instantly had their imaginations run wild.

“Thank you, great Mr. Fool.” Derrick half stood up and bowed, then turned the topic to the matter of whether Silver City existed or not. “The exploration team is back. I mean the exploration team led by Elder Shepherd Lovia. They completed the exploration of the semi-destroyed temple of the Fallen Creator and returned to Silver City. I found that the personalities of several team members I am familiar with have changed to a certain extent.”

"They have been contaminated by the 'True Creator.'" Alger, the Hanged Man, pointed out without hesitation.

"The True Creator?" "Justice" Audrey couldn't help but glance at the top of the long bronze table.

She remembered very clearly that the True Creator had once been sabotaged by Mr. Fool’s followers, and she had previously speculated that the leader of her own Tarot Club wanted to be the “Evil God Nemesis.”

“Really?” Derrick asked back, unwilling to believe it.

The Hanged Man said calmly:

"Please describe their changes in detail."

"It feels like the person is still the same person, but he is very different from before. His optimism has become gloomy, and his bright smile has become just a polite smile..." "Sun" Derrick recounted all the abnormalities he had discovered, including the fact that Elder "Shepherd" Lovia's condition suddenly improved.

The Hanged Man Alger said carefully:

"The situation may be more serious than you think, and contamination is the best possibility.

"If they have already believed in the true, er, 'Fallen Creator' from the bottom of their hearts, then that would be troublesome and beyond redemption.

"No matter what, their personalities, thoughts, and opinions will be distorted, turning them into hidden lunatics. You can start from this aspect and let the other members of the 'Six-member Council' realize that something is wrong."

"I've already reported it, but the Chief doesn't seem to trust me." Derrick said in a low voice, feeling a little aggrieved.

Magician Fors couldn't help but sigh:

"That's because your 'Chief' suspects that you are possessed by Amon and are trying to plot something detrimental to Silver City."

"Then what should I do? Even if I tell them that the 'Fallen Creator' exists, they won't believe me?" "Sun" Derrick asked anxiously.

The Hanged Man hesitated for two seconds and said:

"In fact, your 'chief' should have started to pay attention to the 'shepherd' and the members of the exploration team. The reason why your Silver City has survived until now is that the top leaders still have the most basic vigilance and will not let go of any possible threats. The only problem is that they are definitely not paying enough attention to it, not even as much as they care about you and Amon.

Without waiting for the Sun to speak, he said carefully:

"Perhaps we can use this incident to clear you of suspicion... Find an opportunity to make a member of the exploration team show the most complete abnormality and cause a conflict with him. This way, the other members of the 'Six-member Council' will notice something is wrong and pay more attention to it.

"At the same time, you handed over something that looked like the 'worm of time'. It was said that during the conflict, you suddenly became dazed and didn't know what happened. You only vaguely heard someone shouting 'True Creator'. When you woke up, you had coughed up the worm.

"When it comes to the evil god, many methods and abilities cannot be used. Your 'chief' will logically guess that Amon's clone clashed with the spiritual pollution left by the 'true creator' and eventually perished and turned into a dead insect. The monitoring of you will definitely be reduced a lot because of this. If you behave yourself for a while, the suspicion will be completely gone."

Why does Mr. The Hanged Man seem so skilled in this area... Audrey "Justice" thought with her mouth slightly open.

"The Sun" Derrick's eyes lit up when he heard this. He felt that Mr. "The Hanged Man" was indeed trustworthy and had come up with such a good idea!

"Then how can I make the members of the exploration team show the most thorough and abnormal state?" he asked quickly.

The Hanged Man Alger was silent for a moment, and then spoke after several seconds:

"I have no idea."

He immediately added:

"It would be nice if there were items related to the 'True Creator'..."

In a flash, Audrey, the Justice, looked towards Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top of the long bronze table.
