Two Sequence 3 demigods guarding the main gate... As expected of the "Giant King's Court", the kingdom of the ancient gods... The members of the Tarot Club had similar feelings, and "Sun" Derrick did not pause and continued to narrate.
For him, he was quite shocked when he first discovered that the two "Silver Knights" were guarding the main gate of the "Giant King's Court". However, a series of events that happened later made this seem extremely ordinary and it was no longer possible to arouse his emotions.
"...Based on what Mr. World shared, we took a more hidden path to the back of the Giant King's Court...The monsters we encountered along the way were mainly wraiths, which were restrained by the Dark Cross...
"After arriving at the 'Decay Forest', I tried to explore it and found an evil spirit formed by the remaining will of the Giant King and the power of the Kingdom of God. It is guarding the tomb of my parents... the sun." Derrick skillfully reviewed his experiences along the way, and Tarot Club members such as "Justice" Audrey and "Hanged Man" Alger quickly pulled their thoughts back from the "Silver Knight" guards and listened attentively.
They were all very interested in the secrets hidden in the "Decay Forest" and wanted to know what exactly the Giant King, the ancient god, had said that he would not let the queen and the children know.
Recalling the scene he saw at that time, "Sun" Derrick paused for a moment before speaking:
"After purifying the evil spirit, we came to the mausoleum of the Giant King's parents. There was a stone tablet there, indicating the identity of the tomb's owner. The tomb and the coffin had been opened by someone long ago, revealing the corpses inside. They were, those were the corpses of two humans..."
Human corpses? Human corpses buried in the tomb of the Giant King's parents? Godfathers and godmothers? No, there was no religion at that time... As a demigod who has mastered a lot of mystical knowledge, Cattleya's first reaction was that the two corpses had other identities.
Then, she remembered some words the Queen had mentioned. Those were questions that Emperor Roselle had asked before his death, like a question inspired or mumbling to himself:
Why are giants, elves, and vampires referred to as humanoids or humanoids even in ancient documents and historical materials?
Why not call humans giant-like, elf-like, vampire-like creatures?
Could it be that the origin of all humanoid creatures is human? Are giants, elves, and vampires all mutations brought about by Beyonder characteristics and can be inherited? The Hermit Cattleya calmed down her emotions instantly and seriously thought about the possible reasons.
At this moment, she felt that the potion would definitely be digested to a certain extent after she returned to the real world.
Because Sequence 4 of the "Mysterious Peeper" pathway is called "Mysticist", and there is no doubt that he is the ancestor of the giants and the source of humanoid creatures. It is extremely valuable and is mystical knowledge that normal demigods have no way of knowing!
The Giant King's parents were humans? This must be fake... Alger, the "Hanged Man", immediately suspected that someone had faked the scene.
But thinking about the fact that it was not only a matter of taking away the real skeleton and getting a human corpse, but also preparing a suitable coffin to make the specifications of the tomb look like it did not belong to a giant. And this kind of forgery had no practical significance and would not have much impact on reality. Alger felt that no one would do such a boring thing.
The “person” who could enter the “Giant King’s Court”, suppress a powerful evil spirit, and approach the two tombs must be at least a saint, and is long past the age of playing pranks!
Could it be true... that the ancestors of humanoid creatures are all humans? Does this include elves? Having seen too many things that shocked him at the Tarot Club, and having experienced a collapse of faith on that primitive island due to the contents of the murals, "The Hanged Man" Alger did not have any intense emotions at this time. He just couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his dark blue hair.
Mr. Hanged Man thought of himself from this incident? The Giant King's parents were actually human beings... It seems that most of the creation myths currently circulating are false, and are deliberately made up by later generations. However, there are also some metaphors hidden in them... Mr. Moon seems to be unable to accept this matter... Mr. World seems to have known it for a long time... Audrey, Justice, used psychological abilities and skills such as "comfort" to control the situation as quickly as possible, and instinctively observed the reactions of other members.
At this moment, "Moon" Emlyn was the most restless one, his mind full of thoughts like "impossible, this is impossible".
If the ancestor of the giants is human, what about the blood race? Are we just monsters caused by the mutation of extraordinary characteristics? Impossible, we were created by the ancestor himself. He has the authority of "life" and "creation", which is completely different from the barbaric gods like the Giant King and the Elf King who only know how to fight! As Emlyn's thoughts fluctuated, he inexplicably felt that his pride was cracking.
His intuition, his rationality, and his brain all told him that "Sun" Derrick had no motive to lie about this matter, and the possibility of other fake scenes was also extremely low. So he subconsciously expelled giants and elves from the ranks of humanoid creatures and regarded them as branches of humans.
Leonard the Star, Fors the Magician, and Hugh the Judge quickly accepted the possibility revealed in Derrick the Sun's words. To them, whether the giant ancestor was a giant, a human, or even a curly-haired baboon, it was actually no big deal. At most, it showed that many extraordinary creatures originated from the accumulation of extraordinary characteristics in ordinary organisms, which had little practical significance.
Derrick the Sun calmed down and continued in the strange silence:
"After leaving the 'Decay Forest', we entered the 'Giant King's Court' through the 'Desolate Tunnel'...
"…The power of 'corruption' and 'secret' remains along the way, and you must respond correctly to pass…
"...Inside that palace there is a mural that contains the power of the 'cycle of fate'. We are influenced by it and transformed into people attending the party, repeating a very short process. This process is the establishment of the 'Redemption Rose'..."
Having said that, Derrick looked around and saw that all the members had temporarily gotten rid of their previous state and showed great interest in the organization "Redemption Rose".
They all knew that this was an extremely secretive and ancient organization that followed and believed in the "True Creator". It was the source of the Aurora Society, and its members included Angel King Ouroboros, Medici, Sasriel and other big names.
Derrick retracted his gaze and exhaled silently:
"The two conveners of the Redemption Rose are the Dark Angel Sasriel and the Night Goddess Amanesis..."
Ah? Audrey "Justice", Leonard "Star" and Hugh "Judgment" doubted their ears for a moment.
They were all believers of the night, and they could never have imagined that the goddess would be a member and convener of the "Redemption Rose".
That's like saying the "Night Goddess" is a member of the Tarot Club!
If they didn't know what kind of person little "Sun" was, they would have known long ago that he would not lie and would definitely doubt the authenticity of this matter. But now, they were speechless for a short time and didn't even dare to think deeply about it.
Alger unconsciously turned his body to the side and looked at Derrick, the Sun, and listened to him speaking slowly and heavily:
"The participants are: 'Pure White Angel' Oseikus, 'Wind Angel' Leodro..."
Alger's eyelids twitched, and he didn't dare to have any thoughts in his mind.
"…'God of War' Badhair, 'Mother Goddess of the Earth' Omibella…"
Emlyn, the "moon" who was originally leaning against the back of the chair, unknowingly sat up straight, with only one message echoing in his mind: "Harvest Goddess", Giant Queen, Omybella...
"Salinger, the 'God of the Dead', Tolzina, the 'God of Spirits'..."
The voice of "Sun" Derrick rang out again and again in the ancient and magnificent palace. "Hermit" Cattleya, "Magician" Fors and other members looked at each other, but no one dared to speak. It seemed that if they knew more deeply, they would be punished by God.
When Derrick finished speaking, they remained silent. The scene was so quiet that it was a little eerie.
Finally, the Hermit Cattleya sighed and said:
"'Redemption Rose' is so powerful that it is terrifying. Before this, I couldn't imagine that those beings would be its members..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gehrman Sparrow, the World, said in a hoarse voice:
"It was an organization established to fight against the ancient sun god. Later, only a few angel kings were left."
…After hearing their conversation, members including Justice Audrey seemed to have just woken up from a dream. They all subconsciously cast their gazes towards the top of the mottled long table, towards the figure shrouded in gray mist, as if waiting for the decision of an authority.
Klein the Fool had already anticipated a similar scenario. He did not respond directly. He nodded slightly and sighed.
“Thus, the ‘Fallen Creator’ was born.”
Really… it’s true… Mr. Fool’s suggestion that “Redemption Rose” actually has such a deep meaning… What was “He” in ancient times, and what position did he play in these events… All these thoughts instantly formed a storm, sweeping through the minds of the Tarot Club members.
"Sun" Derrick looked at everyone and saw that no one was talking, so he had to talk about the follow-up exploration:
"...We met the leader of the 'King's Court Hunters', 'Light Killer' Milgungen, outside the Giant King's palace. He said that the 'Dark Angel' Sasriel was sleeping in that palace..."
Compared to the "Redemption of the Rose" incident just now, the news that the mysterious "Dark Angel" is now sleeping in the Giant King's Palace can no longer cause too much emotional fluctuations for Tarot Club members such as "Star" Leonard and "Moon" Emlyn, but only satisfies a certain curiosity.
Of course, as a "mystic", Cattleya only hopes that "The Sun" can talk a little more.
"Then we returned, and Mr. Fool gave us the formula for the Silver Knight potion." At the end of the story, "Sun" Derrick made a very honest summary.
Audrey and the others were still immersed in what had just happened. They were still in a state of panic as if they were blaspheming the gods. No one responded for a moment. Only Alger, the Hanged Man, thought for a moment and said,
"Since the True Creator was born from the Redemption Rose, He would be familiar with the things that happened in the Giant King's Court. Why was the Shepherd Elder Lovia unprepared for this?"
