393 The Worm of Time (1/2)
After a brief moment of blankness, Audrey quickly understood what The Sun was saying—he was saying that Mr. Fool had sent ”His” angel to purify Amon's avatar!
Angel!
Mr. Fool sent an angel!
Mr. Fool really has an angel as an attendant!
Every angel has at least the power of a Sequence 2…
Although that's expected and I've already expected it, it's still amazing because it has finally been verified!
And only deities can control angels!
Audrey's eyes shone with excitement. She couldn't help but wonder what Mr. Fool's angel looked like.
I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to see that… She looked towards the end of the long bronze table with admiration and zeal.
At the same time, her spiritual perception told her that Mr. World, who was always gloomy, had also sat up straight in shock, which pleased her inexplicably.
Fors recalled what had happened to her previously. She had only asked Mr. Fool to interfere with any divinations, and she ended up seeing a twelve-winged archangel descend, enveloping her Spirit Body with its wings.
It really was an angel… Black wings, an archangel with twelve pairs of wings… And this really is just a routine procedure for Mr. Fool. ”He” would send an angel to help members of the gathering get out of trouble… Fors suddenly didn't dare to look up at the gentleman who was sitting leisurely at the end of the long bronze table.
Although she was still only Sequence 9, and she hadn't received a complete education in the field of mysticism, she had been involved with different Beyonder circles for three years. She would've learned of certain things even if she didn't deliberately find out about them.
In the midst of all of this, there was a very important clause: ”You may not look directly at God.”
In the past, this sentence didn't leave much of an impression on Fors, but now she suddenly felt that it was the truth, the truth derived from countless bloody lessons.
Angel? Mr. Fool really does have an angel by his side! The Hanged Man felt a wave of fear and baffling excitement hit him, causing his body to tremble slightly.
Previously, when ”He” told us his honorific name and responded to prayers and rituals, this had indirectly expressed the notion that Mr. Fool was equivalent to a god. However, direct evidence was still lacking. But now, an angel has appeared! The existence of that alone is enough to explain many things! Amongst them, the most important thing is that Angels represent the most direct form of deterrence! Mr. Fool is not without influence in the real world… Even if ”He” doesn't go through his adorers, ”He” can still project his majesty onto a certain region… Alger immediately thought of many things. He broke into a cold sweat for his shallow actions in the past while feeling filled with hope for the future.
Immediately following that, he started to think about the details of what The Sun had said.
Mr. Fool didn't let the angel descend directly. Instead, he taught The Sun a ritual. Through that ritual, ”He” sent the angel to purify Amon's avatar. That's quite a roundabout way of doing things…
Does this mean that in order to influence the real world, Mr. Fool must break through many obstacles? This is consistent with my earlier judgment that ”He” is in a sealed and confined state… Or perhaps there's something special about the Forsaken Land of the Gods?
The reason why Mr. Fool didn't act like this before was because ”He” has escaped a little? ”He” is gradually freeing ”Himself”…
Sitting at Mr. Fool's seat, Klein slowly looked around. He was obviously aware of Miss Justice's reverence and zeal, as well as the fear and excitement of The Hanged Man.
Weren't you always treating me like a god in the past? Why are you acting like this after hearing about the angel? It seems like indirect evidence ultimately cannot be compared to the shock and awe delivered by direct evidence… If a new member were to question me in the future, I would make preparations in advance for The World to step forward and say something. Then, I would casually point my finger and kill him as an example to others… Once things calm down, I would make a new The World… Klein's thoughts gradually wandered.
Derrick didn't quite understand the reactions of Mr. Hanged Man and Miss Justice. From his point of view, wasn't it normal that an angel served a god or a mighty existence?
After pondering for a few seconds, he said, ”After Amon's avatar was purified, I coughed out a worm that was exactly identical to the one in the dungeon. Do you know what it is?”
With the help of Klein's help, The Sun successfully conjured a projection of a translucent worm with twelve transparent rings.
Audrey and Fors looked over curiously. At the same time, they shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen or heard of this kind of worm.
Twelve rings… In the Book of Secrets, all similar symbols have something to do with time… The Amon family was descended from an ancient sun god, and in ancient times, people believed that the sun and time were related… This can barely be considered an explanation and can be verified from two angles… However, why is it that the current Eternal Blazing Sun is the Inextinguishable Light, Embodiment of Order, God of Deeds, and Guardian of Businesses, but he doesn't seem to be involved in the domain that deals with time… In order to maintain his image as The Fool, Klein was in no hurry to answer.
He smiled, his gaze warm.
Alger thought for a moment before saying, ”It should be the vessel that Amon created for his avatar.
”In legends, there is a type of worm that looks similar, appearance-wise. They have twelve transparent rings and are called Worms of Time. However, no one has ever seen them before. Many people suspect that it's actually the name of a Sequence potion.”
Worm of Time… So it's very close to my guess… Although this is just a legend spread among Beyonders at the middle echelons of particular Churches and above, the information itself is of great value. Is Mr. Hanged Man saying this out loud to let others know this because he has been rewarded, having learned a lot of important information from The Sun? Klein felt wistful and amused at the same time.
