“We’ll talk about that later.” Arceus lowered his eyes. “There are many ways you can help me, there’s no need…”
“It’s all about helping out, but the things we can do are different!” Aransta opened his palm and looked at it. “Without sufficient ability, what help can we possibly offer?”
“Besides, He may not have come with malicious intent.” Alansta let out a long sigh. “Brother, since you need to understand the gods, this is a perfect opportunity!”
"Brother, you once told me that I would do what you said and do what I believe is right!"
"Huh? Did I say that? Hey! Wait a minute!"
Aransta reached out and grasped the doll's hand!
"Your divine name is [Puppet]? If I become your representative, does that mean we are now on the same side? Will the other gods know about our conversation?"
"Don't worry, those guys aren't capable of easily breaking the barriers I set up." [The Puppet] smiled, its eyes narrowing. "As for our own people—"
He then looked at Arceus: "If you wish, you can calculate it that way as well."
"In that case, I wonder if we could share some information?"
Aransta looked into the eyes of the [doll].
"Becoming my proxy is a wise choice." The [Puppet] gripped Aransta's hand tightly. "After all, this is your only chance to obtain a [Miracle]!"
Aransta suddenly felt a burning sensation throughout his body, which made him cough twice, but the [Puppet] held his hand tightly, rendering him unable to move!
"After all, there are only two substitute gods in total right now, and you are the third."
“Yuri from the Iron Tower Kingdom, he is the representative of the [Pope].” The [Puppet] did not hide anything and directly announced the names of the other two, “And Yamagami from Sakura, he is the representative of the [Black Crow].
"[The Pope]...[Black Raven]..."
Arceus murmured the two names.
Yuri? Yamagami? What outstanding abilities do these two possess that make them worthy of being chosen by the gods as their representatives?
As an SSS-class ghost storyteller, Yamagami was someone that Arceus had also learned about. However, Yamagami was only considered mediocre among SSS-class ghost storytellers and not a top-tier ghost storyteller. So why was he a god-slayer?
Is he hiding his true abilities? Or is there another reason?
"ah!"
Aransta yelled, shook off the [Puppet]'s hand, and leaned against the wall, panting heavily!
"The power of [Miracle] is far more than what you see on the surface. As for how far you can use this power, that depends on yourselves."
The doll's body gradually faded, and Arceus called out to it, "Can you tell me the names of all the gods?"
"Oh? Can I take that as you wanting to side with me?"
“I think we can cooperate for now.” Arceus stepped forward. “Don’t rush off. Perhaps we can continue our conversation. Maybe I have something you’d like to know.”
“We are the Twelve Gods,” said the Puppet. “The Director, the Gravekeeper, the Pope, the Emperor, the Impermanent One, the Night Wanderer, the Great Sin, the Puppet, the Black Crow, the Ascetic, and the Shackles are our divine names.”
"Twelve Gods? No, [Puppet], you only mentioned eleven names. I don't think eleven gods would be called the 'Twelve Gods'."
"He has long since perished, so let's not talk about it."
A fallen god... Arthas felt overwhelmed by the amount of information. A fallen god... a god-slayer?!
What role does Jiang Ran play in your plan?
"I didn't expect you to ask this question." [Puppet] shook its head. "That's not my responsibility. You just need to know that Jiang Ran will carry all the questions forward and eventually reach the end."
Before Arceus could continue speaking, the [Puppet] interrupted him.
"You're always the one asking questions, doesn't that make me seem a bit passive?" The [Puppet] tapped its fingers. "You also have to do one thing for me: help me find the other people who possess [Miracles]! And then—"
"I want to know, what exactly is Jiang Ran's [miracle]!"
"By the way, I've already taken care of that night crow outside for you. You're welcome."
Only the echoing voice remained; the figure of the [doll] had vanished.
"Tsk—help me deal with the Night Ravens? Well, I really have to 'thank you'!"
I originally wanted to get another portion of divine power from Night Raven, but after being tricked by the [Puppet], it seems I can't do it anymore.
Aransta lay in the corner, his face somewhat pale, yet with a strange blush.
It seems that Arceus is completely entangled with the [Puppet].
"Aransta, how are you feeling?"
"Cough cough!" Aransta instinctively grabbed Arceus's hand!
Arceus staggered, his hand unconsciously swinging backward!
"This is......?"
"Brother... this is from..."
Jiang Ran and his two companions randomly picked a hotel and went inside. The surrounding projections all left, and in the blink of an eye, the entire hotel was empty. Jiang Ran was happy to have some peace and quiet.
When Jiang Ran tried to open the door, he found that it was not working properly. Gwent and Alice walked in. He simply raised his hand and smashed the door with a cannon.
"Looks like this city doesn't want to serve us anymore." Jiang Ran shrugged, then pointed his palm at the doorframe. "Whatever, we won't be here long anyway. This is a miracle from the [Armed]!"
A brand new mechanical door replaced the original door.
"One reason the terminal released Night Raven's information was because it was threatened, but another reason was that, based on its calculations, it concluded that we could not kill Night Raven, much less take the God Stone from him."
"Alice, can you tell me about your battle with the Night Raven the night before last?"
"Yes, that's how it is..."
Alice in Brief
"Is that so?" Jiang Ran rested his chin on his hand. "The ability to decompose... even a potion that changes the nature of things can't completely kill it? It seems that the God Stone no longer has a whole body, but has been completely absorbed by the Night Raven as a form of power. In this respect, it has done it even more thoroughly than Laplace!"
"Can your thing called 'Miracle' completely kill the Night Raven?"
Gwen tilted her head and asked.
"If I go all out, I should be able to get it, right?" Jiang Ran covered his head. "But the problem is, if we can't kill him completely, we naturally won't be able to get the God Stone. But if we just annihilate him, we still won't be able to get the God Stone."
This is truly a difficult choice.
"Huh? What do we do then?"
