Chapter 10: 10
171: Bayam's Dark CloudChapter 171: The Dark Cloud of Bayam
Klein's footsteps touched the wooden planks on the Bayam dock. Behind him followed Maric, who was wearing a black vest, and Danitz, who was wearing a black robe to hide his identity.
Klein had a bad feeling in his heart, as if what was hanging over his head was not a dark cloud, but an iron curtain that could fall from the sky at any time.
This is a warning from spiritual intuition.
A slight tide gently slapped forward, hitting the sand and bringing up a patch of black mud. Klein turned around and said to Danitz beside him:
"Looking for someone."
"Ah?" Danitz was obviously stunned.
"Looking for someone." He heard German Sparrow emphasize in a gloomy voice, and was greeted by the cold eyes of the mad captain.
Even with the hunter's pitifully low sensitivity, he could sense that something was wrong.
The birds in the sky were fleeing quickly and the streets were almost dead quiet.
This scene seemed like a precursor to a disaster.
"…Shit."
Danitz uttered his catchphrase.
...
"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth? I haven't seen the Hidden Sage recently when I was digesting the potion, and he continues to spread the terrible teachings of instilling knowledge in my ears." Cattleya couldn't help but look a little surprised, and there was a little shock in this surprise.
"I can feel that there is a god at the top of this sequence." Bernadette's words became more and more mysterious: "He is looking down at us from high above, cold and supreme. If you ask, He will not hesitate to give you knowledge. I don't know how to call Him, perhaps..."
"Perhaps after becoming a true god, his name may not be 'Hidden Sage', but something else."
Bernadette's words became more and more vague, and the uncertainty in her tone became more and more. Cattleya continued to listen to what the "mysterious queen" Bernadette said in front of her, but her expression became calm.
"Your Majesty, can you see my fate?"
Cattleya asked.
"I can no longer see it." Bernadette shook her head. "The position of the spirit world has changed, and fate has become chaotic. I can even tell you my guess. From now on, there will be no 100% accurate predictions."
While speaking, Bernadette looked at Cattleya in front of her with her deep eyes. She did not make any predictions, but only made some guesses based on her intuition.
Although she was only at Sequence 3, she could probably guess what happened after the Hidden Sage became a god. In her opinion, her current fate was like a ball of steel wool, confusing and impossible to unravel.
This was undoubtedly fatal to the paths of "knowledge" and "secrets". The originally orderly fate became chaotic, which naturally weakened the ability of the "master of prophecy". However, she vaguely felt that this was not a curse from the superior to the inferior, but rather a gift.
Bernadette couldn't explain this feeling, but she guessed that if she let the Sequence Three of the "Destiny" path take a look, she might be able to see some clues.
——After all, these guys are quite good at finding opportunities in fate.
"Do I have a choice, Your Majesty?" Cattleya smiled softly and said calmly to Bernadette in front of her,
"My ship has sunk now. If I don't come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out to sea for a long time. And the 'Moss Ascetic Order' is not a place I can go to now. For me, I'm afraid the best outcome is to come to you."
"Of course not. You have other choices, Cattleya." Bernadette said to Cattleya in front of her calmly, "Of course you can come back to me. I will accept you. I know you still have some resistance in your heart, but this is the safest way for you."
Bernadette knew that Cattleya was still somewhat dissatisfied with her exile. She knew that if she invited Cattleya affectionately, she would definitely come back to her, but she also wanted to give her children more options.
…She thought of her brother, Bonois, who was born an "angel". During these hundreds of years, Bernadette often wondered if Bonois had more choices at that time, would the ending of her family be different?
"And if you don't want to come back, I can help you pay the extra compensation you promised to the captain. If you want to seek promotion in the future, you need to collect potions on your own."
"...I understand, Your Majesty." Cattleya bowed slightly:
"Please pay my reward for me."
"...well."
Cattleya looked at the shattered mirror in front of her and was silent for several seconds. Then she stood up silently and walked outside.
However, Cattleya suddenly heard a noise outside. She hurried forward and saw the "Mad Captain" Gehrman Sparrow standing at the door.
...What is he doing here? How did he find me?
"Why are you here?" Cattleya asked Gehrman in front of her with a little caution in her tone. Klein, who was wearing a tight-fitting outfit, prepared his words for a moment, lowered his voice, and said to Cattleya in front of him,
"We need to leave immediately."
"Something happened."
No way... Cattleya looked at the crazy captain in front of her in a bit of astonishment, and hurriedly ran outside in two or three steps. However, the pattering raindrops immediately sprinkled on her face. This made Cattleya's pupils shrink slightly, and the Eye of Peering began to work, reflecting the scene in the distance into her eyes.
That is the storm that is coming and has already come.
That was a rain curtain falling from the sky, and a tsunami rising from the horizon!
In the depths of the distant sea, a giant snake was vaguely confronting a human figure. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and countless thunders flashed in them. The waves were coming towards Bayam, but the figure, who was obviously a high-sequence expert, had no time to pay attention to the tsunami rolling towards the city.
"Run!" Klein ordered the people around him in a low voice. He knocked out the informant next to Cattleya and threw him to Danitz beside him.
Danitz made a bitter face, quickly carried the informant on his shoulders, and then ran outside quickly.
Klein took a deep look at Cattleya beside him and began to run away without hesitation.
In the face of such a natural disaster, only by boarding his demigod ghost ship "Lost Hometown" can they win a glimmer of hope for survival.
Seeing this, Cattleya also took a step forward and followed. Suddenly, stars twinkled around her as she ran with Klein.
Seeing Klein's figure flickering in the flames, Leonard hid in the darkness, running at an abnormally fast speed. Even Maric, who did not have any extraordinary ability to escape, ran faster than Cattleya with his strong physical ability.
Danitz, who was carrying a person, relied on the unreasonably strong physical ability gained from the spiritual power of the hunter path to run faster than Cattleya's own legs.
Seeing these people unscrupulously using their extraordinary abilities in this official extraordinary territory, Cattleya no longer hesitated, took out a handful of powder from her arms, and sprinkled it on herself. After slightly reducing the weight of her body, her figure instantly became transparent, and countless starlight covered her body, carrying her forward.
Soon, Cattleya made up for the distance she had been left behind and caught up with the main group.
Klein, who was already close to the "Lost Homeland", threw a lit match forward. At the moment when the match had not yet been extinguished by the heavy rain, he made a "flame jump" to the air above the sea.
Then, he urged the soul of Mr. X that was grazing in the "Creeping Hunger" and "flashed" onto the deck.
As its captain returned to itself, the "Lost Homeland" apparently became excited again. Darkness was crawling on its body, and the dim flames and shadows on the ship shone directly into the water, dyeing the sea, which originally had a deep blue color, dark.
"Come up - if you don't want to die in this tsunami, come up quickly." Although Klein was using the identity of Gehrman, his tone couldn't help but become nervous. He looked at the tsunami rushing towards them from behind. It was definitely not something that a few Beyonders without demigods could resist.
Although the Beyonders were gradually approaching the Primordial Ones, and their special abilities were beginning to become inhuman, it was obviously difficult for them to survive the natural disasters released by the High-Sequence Ones.
Even the magician's leaping flames could not ignite in the surging waves; even the astrologer's starlight could not travel thousands of miles in an instant in this dark sea without the help of props; and the zombies' steel-like bodies and the requiem master's sleep were as fragile as paper in the face of the tsunami.
To survive at sea, even pirate admirals need a ship of their own.
This is the case even on a calm sea, not to mention the dangers lurking in the "Storm" path of a Sequence Three Extraordinary Being when two "Sea Kings" are fighting.
"Raise the sails." German Sparrow gave the order.
Shadows quickly enveloped the deck. One by one, the zombie crew members inflated the sails on the Lost Homeland. Along with the bumpy dark sea, the deck of the Lost Homeland began to float and began to shake violently with the rise and fall of the waves.
"Oh my god! Captain, slow down!"
Leonard was pale as he grasped the railing, and a shadow beside him carefully wrapped around his wrist to prevent him from being thrown out. In his mind, Pales looked at him with a look of disappointment, instructing him on how to resist the feeling of seasickness.
Leonard was not usually prone to seasickness, but he had always had some mild reaction to it. And now, under this violent turbulence, Leonard obviously couldn't bear it anymore.
"Hurry up and get in!" Seeing Leonard's face becoming increasingly pale and as if he was about to vomit, Maric, who was wearing a vest and was soaked by the storm, reached out and threw him into the interior of the Lost Homeland.
——He was afraid that Leonard would vomit on him.
The Lost Homeland cooperated well and split its deck, allowing the pale Leonard to be thrown into the cabin. Maric held the mast while commanding the zombie crew members who were staggering on the ship. Fortunately, these crew members had already died and would not be affected by physiological conditions.
Klein turned his head to look at Bayam who was submerged by the tide. He originally wanted to follow the tide and let the Lost Homeland rush through it to get away from the battlefield that was indiscriminately attacking the surroundings.
However, he saw that Bayam, who was supposed to be dead, was now alive again.
——Beside the house in Bayam that was submerged by the waves, local residents were struggling to survive in the water, holding on to broken wood chips.
There was desperate hope in their eyes.
They looked at Klein and said, "Save me."
Klein took a breath.
...
The High-Dimensional Overlooker walked forward. This incarnation was a Sequence Four "Disaster Priest". He pushed aside the surrounding sea water and walked in the folded space.
Even though the space has been folded by his ability, it is still dangerous for ordinary extraordinary people. If the seawater is not removed, the pervasive reflection of the seawater in the higher-dimensional space will become the biggest obstacle for the extraordinary people to move forward.
The high-dimensional observer hooked the silver ring in the shape of a Möbius strip on his hand. A cold silver light flashed on the ring, calming the chaotic space around it for a moment.
"So this is the place. Thanks, Ahuan." A smile appeared on the face of the high-dimensional overlord, and he said to the sealed object where the consciousness of the Ring of Destiny was stored.
As He walked forward, His body gradually faded away, projected from a higher dimension into three-dimensional space, and finally solidified into a human form.
He looked at the altars around him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"A creature that needs an 'anchor' is so fragile - do sea snakes also need an anchor to maintain their 'humanity'?"
"I'm very curious, how do you usually resist the original will?"
The priest who was standing guard at the side of the temple could not believe that his god's incarnation would attack him. Liquid mixed with blood flowed out of his mouth and nose, and he looked at the god in front of him with disbelief in his eyes.
——That is clearly his God.
"That's good." The High Dimension Overlooker sat cross-legged on the altar, and his robes quickly changed into a group of aqua-blue ripples. A crown gradually appeared on his head, making him look like a real sea god.
"Having obtained a sequence three characteristic, I am one step closer to being able to start hunting Adam."
His cold voice echoed in the air, and the breath of the source penetrated into reality, lightly covering up the name He called.
Finally finished coding, a little tired today.
I can't code the second chapter anymore. I may take a short break tomorrow morning and update it around noon or evening.
At this point in the story, Xiao Ke finally began to face the cruel truth of this world, and felt a little emotional

Looking at the people in front of him holding on to broken wooden boards trying to survive the flood, Klein couldn't help but think of the neatly arranged bodies lying on the street with smiles on their faces that he had seen in Backlund before.
This is the extraordinary world...
Klein remained silent for a moment, and held onto the mast of the boat in the rainstorm.
He knew that at a time like this, ignoring these people and turning around and running away was the easiest and most sensible option.
This matter itself had nothing to do with him, so it wouldn't matter if he just left, right?
However, every time Klein saw the ordinary residents struggling to survive, he felt a little bit of pity in his heart. Klein knew that if no one could lend them a hand, they would probably drown here.
——In the aftermath of the fight between the two "Sea Kings", he drowned without any suspense.
Klein was silent for a while. He raised his eyes slightly and let his "Lost Homeland" split out into several ships with a corrupt aura.
The shadow-like ships fell on the rough sea, sliding towards those struggling to survive as if they had wisdom. The feeling of the ship landing on the water was very light, even lighter than a feather falling to the ground.
The crazy captain looked into the distance again and opened his mouth slightly:
"set sail."
Thinking about Backlund's miserable condition and then thinking about Bayam's current appearance, Klein suddenly felt powerless.
"It's a crazy world..."
The Lost Homeland quickly turned on the flooded land and left the city that was being washed away by the disaster from a place far away from the center of the battle. Klein suddenly felt his spirituality touched. He turned his head and saw a raft on the sea.
Around the raft, some objects flew up out of thin air, carrying people up into the sky, or blankets rolled up, carrying residents holding broken wood to a safe place.
Further away, there were people sitting in small wooden boats rescuing residents who were about to be washed away. Some of them were Beyonders, but most were just ordinary people.
Obviously, Klein was not the only one saving these residents. The local Storm Church and even the resistance were trying their best to save these ordinary residents who were defenseless against the Beyonders.
Afterwards, Klein, who was standing on the boat and connected to more than ten ships made of shadows, suddenly felt that he was not fighting alone.
...
Far above the altar of the "Sea God" Kalvetuwa, a young man with a somewhat solemn look was sitting there, with a hint of supreme divinity on his face.
He was wearing a robe that seemed to be made of water waves, and a golden crown on his head. All around him, drowned corpses were lying in front of him, with expressions of fear on their faces.
The High-Dimensional Overlooker was waiting here, waiting for the weakened Poseidon to return to the altar and hand over his extraordinary characteristics.
Time passed very quickly. Soon, Kalvetua, who was about to lose control and became increasingly insane due to the loss of a large number of "anchors", returned to his altar. He looked at the high-dimensional observer in front of him, whose aura was no different from his own, and could not help but continue to go crazy.
(Is it you? Is it you who destroyed my "anchor"?)
A mental wave came, and Kalvetua's huge body rolled rapidly, as if wailing. It showed its incomplete mythical creature form without hesitation and attacked the high-dimensional overlooking person in front of it.
If an ordinary Sequence Four Demigod were to die in front of Kalvetuva, the power that could be unleashed by even a Sequence Three that was close to being out of control was extremely terrifying.
Not to mention the even more terrifying chaotic power that Kalvetuwa unconsciously unleashed in his attempt to survive when he was on the verge of losing control.
But the High-Dimensional Overlooker is not just a Sequence 4 of the Storm Path. He also possesses the "gifts" of the three paths: "Hermit", "Actor", and "Scholar". After all, the original owner of this incarnation is Amon, who has the ability to bear the gifts of three paths at the same time.
Of course, in order to prevent their hard-earned bodies from being overloaded with too many extraordinary abilities and causing collapse, the High-Dimensional Overlookers usually do not use these gifts, nor do they allow these gifts to transform the bodies of extraordinary people belonging to the Storm Path, in order to ensure that the difficulty of subsequent promotions will not be too high.
Among the five paths of omniscience and omnipotence, the Sequence Threes in the other four paths are much more difficult to kill than Kalvetuwa, a sea serpent that always jumps between luck and misfortune. Kalvetuwa himself is already close to losing control, and now it is equivalent to sending a Sequence Three Beyonder characteristic to His hands.
Therefore, the Sequence 3 "Sea King" of the Storm Path became the first choice for the High Dimension Overlooker to reach the Omniscient and Omnipotent Five Path Angel. As for the Sequence 2 Beyonder, the High Dimension Overlooker has not yet decided which unlucky angel to find. He wants to create the illusion that he has no intention of competing for the throne of the "Audience" Path, and secondly, he wants to seize the authority of the "Dreamer" and the "White Tower".
As for the Seagod Scepter that should have belonged to Klein, he could only give in to him. The High-Dimensional Overlooker handed over the carefully crafted "Lost Homeland" to him, which did not suppress Klein's current strength too much.
After all, Klein now understood how to play the role of a god, and there were already followers of the Fool in the City of Silver. Even if he lost the Seagod's Scepter, a powerful seal, with the "Lost Homeland" and the epic-level enhanced "Creeping Hunger", Klein's strength was still stronger than in the original book.
"You call your followers 'anchors'? It seems that you are not wrong to lose control."
The High-Dimensional Overlooker taunted him, with a demeanor similar to that of the Destroyer back in the day: "Don't you know that the Beyonder characteristics of Storm Path now contain the spiritual imprint of the tyrant? You really don't act at all, you're just reckless."
It seemed that the Scourge of Destruction was indeed torn to pieces at that time, and each Outer God was able to get a share of the characteristics of a "provocateur".
The High-Dimensional Overlooker was greeted by Kalvetuwa's roar and the lightning that struck him immediately afterwards. The High-Dimensional Overlooker smiled slightly, and the ability of the "Scholar" Path Sequence Four "Curtain Attendant" appeared. His body turned sideways, and for a moment, there was no thickness on his body.
Things without thickness naturally cannot be attacked. Lightning passed through his body, but did not cause any harm to him.
Of course, while enduring Kalvetuva's attack, the High-Dimensional Overlooker kept his mouth open, trying to use his mouth to speed up the release of the Beyonder characteristics of the sea snake that was about to die:
"Look, you're almost out of control. I've inherited your identity, and I'll take good care of your followers. After you die, remember to condense into a more useful seal, because I'll need it to receive your followers."
After saying the same words as the Minotaur, Kalvetuva's attack became more fierce. The High-Dimensional Overlooker calmly dodged its attacks, waiting for its body to completely lose control and collapse.
With a loud bang, the cave collapsed completely, and seawater poured in from the outside. Kalvetua's body also froze instantly, and countless octopus-like tentacles stretched out from its body. It was already at Sequence 3 and suddenly showed the appearance of a mythical creature close to the Lord of Storms, and was about to lose control.
"goodbye."
The High Dimension Overlooker waved his hand gently, and his body disappeared into the curtain space he created. The next moment, a powerful water column raged around, and even the hard rocks around were shattered by the backflow of seawater.
On Kalvetuwa's body, a dark blue luster gradually emerged. The High Dimension Overlooker instantly projected from the veil space into reality, appeared next to the blue luster, and reached out to grab the scepter without hesitation.
Just by grabbing the scepter, His incarnation felt that the blood in his body seemed to be draining away rapidly. The corners of His mouth curled up immediately, and His appearance changed into the shape of Amon. He pressed with his left thumb, and the silver ring on his ring finger shouted to the Ring of Destiny:
"Ah Huan, help me to peel off this fate."
The Ring of Fate reluctantly used the seal to use the ability of "Life Hunter" to strip away the fate of the High-Dimensional Overlooker who had been drained of blood. The High-Dimensional Overlooker then randomly threw this fate to an unlucky Amon based on the connection between himself and Amon in his clone, and he himself escaped from the fate affected by this scepter.
In this case, the ability of the Ring of Fate is indeed useful.
He has now digested most of the magic potion of the Disaster Priest. After causing many disasters, the High-Dimensional Overlooker, now disguised as the "Sea God", has enough followers who obey him out of fear and dependence. Although he does not know what the Sequence Three Ascension Ceremony is, it is definitely right to act according to the weakened version of the Storm Path Apotheosis Ceremony.
After all, for someone who is essentially an old high-dimensional overlord, there will be no big problem as long as his body does not get out of control and turn into a monster.
Is there any Sequence Three pollution that can match the madness of the past?
Even the lucky sea serpent Kalvetuwa could swallow the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 3, so the High-Dimensional Overlooker could certainly do it. Although the High-Dimensional Overlooker was not as good as the Wrathful God Luo Master in the Path of Recklessness and did not dare to swallow the Beyonder characteristics of the Tyrant Path, it was still possible to make a weakened version of the Godhood Ceremony to serve as the Sequence 3 Promotion Ceremony.
After all, when the High-Dimensional Overlooker was still a human being, he was shocked by Master Luo's courage to "reveal" his own name.
"If I play the role of 'Disaster High Priest' again, I can advance to Sequence 3. The rules for playing the Tyrant Path are really easy... Next time, should I let myself be a divine messenger and bring disaster? If so, the playing speed should be further accelerated, right?"
"Now Adam (covered by the Essence) should have noticed my actions. Why didn't He come to find me? Or has He already come? I should have been very clear when I played Amon last time. Did I show less contamination?"
"Or is this 'writer' still testing me, the 'different' 'Amon'?"
The High-Dimensional Overlooker held the scepter and stretched. After usurping the extraordinary characteristics and authority of the Sea God Kalvetuwa, He raised the scepter, and a lot of blood immediately flowed out of the body left by Kalvetuwa, and the whole corpse seemed to be drained dry.
Of course, before draining Kalvetuwa's blood, the High-Dimensional Overlooker cut a piece of meat from it and prepared to eat it at the dinner of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society".
As the blood flowed out, the sea water also drained out, forming a vacuum area in this broken cave.
After simply destroying the corpse, the body of the high-dimensional overwatch fell backwards and disappeared on the spot under the background of countless fine silk threads.
After the vacuum disappeared, the sea water rushed back in like a whirlpool, filling up this already devastated area.
After a long time, with a loud thunder, the entire area was once again turned into a vacuum state by brute force, and wind with the scent of the ocean poured in, blowing away the remaining water vapor here.
Sea King Yann Kottman looked at the corpse of Kalvetuwa, which had turned into a mummy, with a serious expression. He did not find the Beyonder's characteristics. His expression became slightly uglier, and he said to the many "Manufactured Punishers" he had brought behind him:
"Go investigate the current status of the remaining Sea God believers."
"By the way, check if there are any believers of the True Creator appearing here recently."
Yann Kautmann was also quite depressed - Kalvetuva's attack just now was extremely fierce, dragging him into a situation where he could not advance or retreat.
Even he did not want to die in the mouth of the sea snake, but this also led to the sinking of Bayam.
His body instantly turned into a flash of lightning and crossed the ocean at a rapid speed, preparing to go to the headquarters of the Storm Church to report the current strange situation.
What he failed to see was that in the flooded city, a priest in a white robe walked out from the corner, with the innocence and purity unique to children in his pupils.
He sighed and walked in the flood.
"I caused the flood to be divided for me."
His robes, the writer says, would not be stained by water.
Looking at the residents around him who were being rescued, receiving aid from the church or the resistance army, or the bodies floating in the whirlpool of the flood, Adam walked forward with an unchanging smile on his face, writing in the book in his hand.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many go through it. But narrow is the gate and small is the way that leads to life, and few find it."
"It's a necessary sacrifice."
Adam closed the book and looked at Klein on the Lost Homeland, at Ince Zangwill in the southern continent, and at the residents of Bayam who were struggling to survive.
"This is the necessary reward for saving the world."
Adam spoke, his expression full of compassion.
And due to the effect of "psychological invisibility", no one noticed Him.
...
The terrifying tsunami stopped temporarily, and the "Lost Homeland" swayed gently on the calm sea.
Klein held onto the railing beside him and watched as the Lost Homeland took back the shadow it had cast out.
"Did you save some people? Fortunately..." Klein whispered to the "Lost Homeland" under his feet. A pieced-together picture of the ship with living characteristics that transmitted some of the images emerged in his mind.
Seeing this, Klein nodded slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
He did save some people, but many more people still suffered a lot of losses in this disaster. His strength was still too low, and he couldn't even participate in the aftermath of the fight between the two Sequence 3 Saints.
He was sure that if he continued to wander the sea with his ship after the "Sea King" Yann Kottmann dealt with Kalvetuva, then Yann Kottmann, the irritable old pigeon, would definitely come over without hesitation to deal with him, the pirate captain who drove a pirate ship with the aura of the real creator.
"What should we do now, Klein?"
Leonard, who had nearly vomited in the bumpy ship just now, almost lost all his face. His face was still a little pale, and he held the mast and asked Klein in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Klein was silent for a moment, looking at the endless sea. He used his pendulum to divine whether it would be dangerous to rest now, then turned to Maric next to him and said:
"Rest for two hours, and we'll set sail in two hours."
Just now, under the cover of gray fog, the result of divination indicated that there was no danger. Klein was going to go above the gray fog to perform a dream divination to see how to arrange the next trip.
After all, there are two powerful beings on the sea, Yan Kottman, who is probably in a furious state, and the evil god "Super Star Lord", who are quite dangerous to him.
Crane walked into the captain's room.
Sitting at the table, he still felt a little uneasy.
Klein looked at the azure blue sky, as if the rainstorm and tsunami that had just fallen from the sky had never occurred.
He couldn't help but worry about the losses suffered by ordinary people in this disaster that could be called a natural disaster.
"Sea King" Yann Kottman is clearly a Sequence 3 of the Church of the Storm, and it is the people he should protect.
Klein knew that with the power of "Sea King", he was fully capable of stopping the tsunami, but he chose to kill the sea god Kalvetuwa first.
Could it be that in the eyes of these beings who have begun to possess divinity, the inhabitants really only represent anchors that can maintain their spiritual state?
Klein was thinking, and just as he was about to take four steps backwards into the gray fog, he heard Maric's surprised voice from outside his captain's room:
"Sharon? Are you okay? You actually escaped?"
Sharon? Wait, this is... Klein was stunned. He quickly took two steps forward and looked outside the captain's room.
A raft was floating on the sea not far away.
The blonde girl sitting on the raft looked up at the "Lost Homeland", looking just like a puppet.
————————
The false root of the disaster: Lu Mian, Xiao Hong, and the goddess.
The real root of the disaster: Gao Wei, Adam, and Xiao Ke.
Try to guess who calculated and arranged whom in this disaster.
This chapter has 5,000 words. On the one hand, it is an apology for the late updates in the past two days, and on the other hand, I also want to write more to describe in detail the small disaster that Bayam suffered.
I'm going to code tomorrow's update. Whether tomorrow's update can be completed on time depends on whether I can finish coding it today.
(End of this chapter Mr. Fool's Life of SuicideChapter 173: Mr. Fool's Life of Seeking Death
Sharon sat on the raft - strictly speaking, she was sitting on the wooden board that Mr. "Door" had ordered with great difficulty. Even the raw material of the wooden board was a part of the breath of the "Mother Tree of Desire", which was quite consistent with Sharon as a "prisoner".
This raft, which couldn't be simpler, was actually made of a single piece of wood. This piece of wood could even serve as a relatively low-order seal, and whenever it was about to be broken by a huge wave, it would burst out with the ability to heal itself.
Sharon, who had been with the evil god for more than half a month, couldn't help but guess that this might be the result of the power of the "Mother Tree of Desire" and Mr. "Door's" resentment about the destruction of the wooden board that he had nailed with great difficulty.
Although under such a superficial relationship with mysticism, this piece of wood has gradually lost its characteristics as a seal, we still have to marvel at the magic of mysticism.
Maric looked at Sharon in a daze. He had never expected that the partner he had been looking for for a long time would come here on his own. Klein knew why Sharon came here now. The main reason was because of the mystical connection that the Fallen Mother Goddess had left on his ship.
This mystical connection between mother and daughter (they are considered mother and daughter in either direction) is obviously much stronger than that between ordinary Beyonder mothers and daughters. Therefore, it is not a coincidence that Sharon met Klein.
Not to mention that after being let down by a ship of evil gods, Sharon has been drifting towards the southern continent. The Rorsted Archipelago is basically a must-pass place between these two sea areas.
"Can I get on board, please?"
Sharon, wearing a complicated palace-style dress, raised her head slightly and looked upwards, while Maric subconsciously turned his head to ask for Klein's opinion. Klein used the gray mist that he could use to condense the gold coin in his hand, bent his thumb slightly downward, bounced the gold coin in his hand high, and then grasped it.
"Okay." Klein said in a low voice.
The result of the divination just now had told him that the puppet-like girl in front of him was not dangerous to him after all.
Sharon nodded slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, and stood on the wooden board from sitting position.
The board floated up, carrying Sharon towards the Lost Homeland. It came to the side of the Lost Homeland and stopped steadily. Sharon raised her slender legs and stepped elegantly onto Klein's boat.
"Thank you." Sharon nodded slightly and looked at Klein in front of her.
"…You're welcome." Klein was slightly stunned when he found the girl in front of him to be so polite. From his observation, the girl in front of him was most likely a demigod "puppet" from the Prisoner pathway.
If Klein hadn't discovered from the divination with the aura of Sefirah Castle that Sharon had no ill will towards him, he would not have allowed Sharon to board the ship.
"Where are you going?" Klein continued to speak to Sharon in a low voice. Sharon's face showed no expression, and she looked at Klein in front of her quietly.
Sharon seemed to be thinking about something for a long time before replying:
"Southern Continent."
Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed quite unwilling to talk, Klein suddenly felt a headache. He knew that this might be the characteristic of Beyonders in the "Prisoner" path, either restraining themselves or indulging their souls.
It is always better to restrain yourself than to indulge your soul, but if you suppress your human nature too much, will it kill the existence of humanity?
Klein looked at Sharon's silence and felt more and more that she was like a real puppet.
He couldn't help but think of Emlyn White, who was still in the probation period. If this vampire who liked puppets saw Sharon, he would definitely pounce on her excitedly.
Sharon and Maric are companions, and they trust each other more than I, the "crazy captain"... But we are on a ship now, and we can't just leave it like this...
But Sharon is now a demigod, and fighting a demigod on the sea... Hehe, even if I can defeat her with the "Lost Homeland", I will definitely lose a lot of strength. Not to mention, after losing so many zombie crew members, the speed of the "Lost Homeland" will be greatly slowed down...
As Klein was thinking, he was thinking about what to do next. He looked up and glanced at Maric, then said to him,
"Take Sharon to find a room and let her stay here first. When it's time to rest, you can drive your zombies to bypass the Rorsted Islands. Our next step is to go to 'Olawi Island'."
Due to the previous flood, the "Lost Homeland", which was originally near the Rorsted Islands, now rushed southwest and reached the waters near Nagao Island.
The church that Klein needs to go to is in the upper right corner of the Rorsted Islands. Mermaids who believe in the Goddess of Night are kept in captivity here. They are indispensable creatures for Klein to become a Master of Secret Dolls.
Moreover, since Klein was promoted to the "Faceless Man" some time in advance during his time at Backlund, Klein has now almost digested the "Faceless Man"'s potion.
After all, playing the role of "The Fool" in front of everyone in the City of Silver was a pretty good way to digest things. And during this performance, Klein also clearly felt that the "Fool" he played was somewhat different from his usual habits.
Klein estimated that even if he hadn't encountered any other unexpected events and hadn't delayed his trip to the church, he would have been able to completely digest the Faceless Man's potion in a very short time.
Don't forget that the character he is currently playing, German Sparrow, is a perfect "faceless man". On his ship, there is Leonard who knows him, Maric who doesn't know him, and even a demigod who is watching his "performance".
This is also excellent feedback for acting.
Maybe I can use the identity of the Fool to talk to Sharon? No, if I do this, I have to divine whether she is on the same side as the Fallen Mother Goddess. After all, Huang Tao was also polluted by the Fallen Mother Goddess before...
Thinking of this unfortunate senior traverser, Klein couldn't help but sigh heavily. After communicating with the Fallen Mother Goddess, he generally understood the thinking of the Old Ones. The Fallen Mother Goddess had once polluted Huang, but it did not affect his cooperation with the Fallen Mother Goddess, because now the only Old One that the Earth could rely on was the Fallen Mother Goddess.
Of course, the Fallen Mother Goddess would not deliberately release the now polluted Huang Tao, and Klein would save his fellow countryman if he had the chance. Whichever side was more capable would do it - after the battle, the two sides would still maintain this cooperative relationship, which could be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two.
After settling Sharon, Klein walked into his own captain's room. After ordering the "Lost Homeland" to cover the captain's room with shadows, he immediately took four quick steps backwards and entered the gray fog.
The Tarot meeting will be held tomorrow, so Klein must eliminate any potential risks on the ship today.
Klein looked at the seats arranged next to him and couldn't help but remain silent.
——Now he positioned Gehrman Sparrow as the messenger of Mr. Fool and the favored one of the Goddess of Night. It must be said that with only Gao Wei as a demigod, the strength of the Tarot Club is still relatively weak, which made Klein wonder whether to bring Leonard up as well.
If Leonard was brought up, he would have an ally who trusted him completely in the Tarot Club.
Although he knew that Leonard was parasitized by a Beyonder of the "Thief" Path, not to mention that this "Thief" did not show any hostility, even if this "Thief" would have ill intentions towards him and Leonard later, he could always shake Amon over to deter this "Thief".
Amon, a powerful antidote to the thief's special attack.
Klein knew that Gao Wei's current body was stolen from Amon. Whenever he thought of this, Klein couldn't help but admire his fellow countryman Gao Wei even more.
Similarly, Klein also had some expectations for the source power he would be able to mobilize after he was promoted to a demigod, because Gao Wei had mentioned in the few times they communicated that with the help of the extraordinary items he gave to Klein, the source power that could be mobilized after Klein was promoted to a demigod would be far more than what could be mobilized at the Sequence Four stage.
I wonder if I can use the power of the source to pre-empt the abilities of a higher sequence, or the abilities of adjacent pathways?
Klein sat on his throne with anticipation. He tried several divination methods to determine whether Sharon had any ill will towards him. After all these divination methods gave negative results, Klein leaned back slightly and prepared to divine his fate for the next period of time.
There is also divination about what will happen after Sharon enters the ship.
Let's predict our fate first...
Klein leaned back slightly and soon fell into a light sleep. In his dream, he saw a bizarre scene:
He saw a piece of flesh and blood floating on the sea, and saw flames burning along the green vines on the sea. He stood with his crew members on the Lost Homeland, and Sharon was among them.
And what they were facing was a bunch of blooming roses!
The veins of these roses are growing wildly, seeming to cover half of the sky.
And in the sky, there were countless eyes staring at the earth. The sky was gloomy, and Klein's divination came to an abrupt end here.
"Ahem—"
Klein's back suddenly bent. If it weren't for the Source Castle blocking his sight from the starry sky, he would have been out of control by now.
But even so, a series of buds suddenly appeared on his arms, and even now he almost lost control. Klein tried hard to control his blood vessels and muscles that seemed to be about to jump out, and his body slowly relaxed.
Phew, there are so many dangers outside the starry sky, but I didn't expect to be able to predict these things.
This is much more exciting than peeping into the Eternal Blazing Sun before... But their gaze didn't penetrate Sefirah Castle directly, driving me crazy? After seeing the starry sky in my divination just now, I thought I was going to be resurrected again...
Klein rubbed his temples, and it took him a long time to calm down. He calmed down his precarious mind with some distress, and couldn't understand why he was not killed by the many Outer Gods.
It seems that I can no longer predict the future casually. The world is becoming more and more dangerous... Klein felt a little emotional. After he felt that his condition had recovered to a certain extent, he stretched out his hand and, relying on his perception, directly touched Sharon on the boat at the spiritual level.
With Klein's current control over Sefirah Castle, he didn't need to use items with magical connections to Sefirah Castle or wait for people to recite his honorific name before he could pull people up into the gray fog. As long as he knew the location of the person he needed to pull, he could forcibly pull people with lower sequences up into the gray fog. In a sense, this was not much different from the methods of the gods.
Of course, this was the first time Klein used this method, so his energy consumption was a bit high. He felt his spiritual energy rapidly draining away, and after several seconds, Sharon's shadow appeared in the Source Castle.
Looking at Sharon, who finally showed some surprise and panic, Klein chuckled in a low voice,
"My follower reported your existence to me."
Klein plans to maintain the tradition of the Fool and become a riddle teller for Sharon to guess the riddles herself.
...
Unknown to Klein, the starry sky had become a mess.
The High-Dimensional Overlooker opened his curtain to help Klein, who had just committed suicide, block the sight of the gods above the starry sky. The Super Star Overlord took revenge for his personal grudge and continuously pulled meteorites from outside the solar system to smash into the High-Dimensional Overlooker.
The undying mumbling stood there with its mouth open in a daze, while the Fallen Mother Goddess took advantage of the opportunity that the High-Dimensional Overlooker blocked the view of the Mother Tree of Desire, and let her incarnation on Earth attack the believers of the Mother Tree of Desire again.
Today's starry sky is still full of nuclear evil mold mites.
The Decayed King glanced at the High-Dimensional Overlord and wondered whether he should go to Earth to snatch the River of Eternal Darkness.
"There seems to be some danger on Earth." The Decayed King said silently. He looked at his fellow men who were happily fighting around him and couldn't help feeling a little tired.
The outer gods outside the earth, starting with the Fallen Mother Goddess, the Mother Tree of Desire, the High-Dimensional Overlooker, the Original Hunger, the Ring of Fate, the Eternal Whispering, and even the Uncertain Mist whose brain was sealed on the earth by the Heavenly Venerable, have entered the barrier.
The Decayed King looked at the earth barrier in front of him, which was almost washed like a sieve, and couldn't help feeling a little irritated.
"Should I find a chance to sneak in?" The Decayed King muttered to himself. After feeling the next time the barrier would weaken, he closed his eyes again.
"High-dimensional Overlooker, why do you prefer the Earth so much?"
The Declined King actually had a high probability of appearing in the original book, and he even made eye contact with Merlin at that time.
