Chapter 27: 27
: The Blocked Divination (Second Update)Chapter 244: The Blocked Divination (Second Update)
The moment he saw the old man, Klein's scalp went numb.
Although he didn't know who the old man in front of him was, Klein knew that he was most likely a demigod of the Rose School.
Behind the old man was a meat ball that was spewing out white mist. The meat ball rolled forward with a "pop", revealing its small limbs and head - this meat ball looked extremely strange!
When Klein saw the ball of flesh approaching his puppet, his spirit gave him a frantic warning. Without any hesitation, he controlled the puppet and slapped it in the face.
Under the powerful physical force of the "Corrupted Baron", the head of the secret puppet with the appearance of German Sparrow was instantly shattered and exploded before the meat ball rolled over.
A thin gray mist gradually emerged, and a somewhat transparent phantom with intricate patterns quickly emerged from the secret doll, flew out quickly, and retracted into Klein's body, bringing with it the extraordinary characteristic that looked like a pitch-black fist.
Klein raised his hand to catch the soul worm that he had split off and the extraordinary characteristics it brought back, and ran out in a few steps without hesitation.
Thanks to Sefirah Castle's analysis of the Fortune Teller's path, Klein promptly retrieved the spirit worm that had split onto the secret doll, so that his condition would not be affected too much.
Then, Klein snapped his fingers while running, and performed a series of "flame jumps" to instantly leave the spot. Only a few brilliant sparks flashed in the air, as if some kind of fireworks show was going on.
At the moment the secret doll was broken, the meat ball shattered directly under the silent scream of the old man and covered the surrounding environment.
Sticky flesh and blood clung to the remaining corpse of the secret doll. Upon seeing this, the old man with the appearance of a person from the southern continent slit his own throat without hesitation and cursed in the most malicious way.
Suddenly, a blood-red light lit up, and an incomparable curse power spread from it, instantly shattering the secret doll in front of him.
With a "splash" sound, the whole room was suddenly covered with sticky juice as if left over from a pressure cooker explosion. The room covered with yellow wallpaper looked a little powdery under the effect of the mucus formed by the evenly minced meat.
"Great Mother Tree of Desire, praise you..."
The old man with the distinctive features of the southern continent prayed devoutly to the "Mother Tree of Desire". The minced meat in the room, which looked easy to digest, gradually melted with the sound of his prayers and became like wax.
The flesh and blood that looked like melted candles gathered on the ground, reuniting the broken flesh ball that was breathing out white air, forming a complete, wet flesh ball. The old man held up the flesh ball respectfully, stretched his mouth to his ears, and swallowed the flesh ball whole.
The scene seemed strange and terrifying. As the meat ball was swallowed, the wound on the old man's neck recovered rapidly, and blood vessels like plant roots crisscrossed the wound.
As his injuries completely healed, the old man suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard. He groaned, and some blood flowed out of his mouth and nose. But his expression became ecstatic instead, and he tilted his ears to listen, as if accepting someone's whisper.
A man with sunken eye sockets, pale face and an old tricorn hat, who looked like an evil spirit, gradually became real in the air and appeared in the room.
He looked at the old man in front of him and said to him in an extremely respectful and fearful voice:
"Lord Jax. I'm sorry I couldn't keep him."
"You failed to keep him..." Jax murmured in a low voice. With each word he spoke, he seemed to become younger and his face wrinkles became less. He looked at Senior with cold eyes: "You failed God's expectations."
The world-famous "Blood Admiral" didn't even dare to say a word. He could only lower his head with deep guilt in his eyes.
Jax just stared coldly at the "Blood Admiral" in front of him, and uttered two words without any emotion:
"Go find it."
As Jax finished saying this, his lips began to melt, and blood vessels like tree branches grew wildly above and below, completely sewing his mouth shut.
Senior nodded quickly and agreed. He walked down in silence, and some branches with the same texture as wood gradually grew on his body.
The merciful God had granted him a gift, but he failed to fulfill God's will. This caused Senior great pain, and he even showed a tendency to lose control a little.
You have to know that there are not many people in the "Rose School" who have been given power by God. Apart from the top few, he is the only one who has been given the gift of demigod or above.
I want more gifts, I want to be closer to God—
Polluted by the "Mother Tree of Desire", Senior's eyes revealed some cruelty and madness. In order to make up for his mistakes, he was ready to slaughter all the lives in this block as a great gift to God.
But the next moment he saw Jax's pupils shrink slightly, and he stretched out his hand that was getting bigger and bigger in front of him and held him in his hand.
Then, the "Silent Apostle" jumped out of the window without hesitation.
The next moment, an infinitely expanding shadow spread across the second floor of the tavern, and it seemed to contain a darkness that swallowed everything. Distorted humanoid monsters emerged from it, vaguely forming an eye hidden behind the curtain of shadow.
The True Creator cast his gaze on Klein's secret doll!
The second floor of the Sweet Lemon Bar suddenly exploded. Strangely, the explosion did not hurt the other guests on the first floor.
But the huge noise also caused a terrible commotion, and the people below fell into chaos as if their deep-seated fear was aroused.
They rushed out one after another, leaving the tavern gradually swallowed by the pervasive darkness.
Not long after, an extremely thick bolt of lightning exploded in the sky, falling from the sky and purifying the darkness here.
A terrifyingly powerful spirit descended from the sky, sweeping over everything here arrogantly and violently, seemingly carrying a breath of rage.
Jax, who was flying in the air, and the "mini version" of Senior, who looked like a puppet in his hand, were struck by lightning. Their bodies turned black in an instant and they fell from the air.
Jax looked back with great fear, then disappeared again from the spot and escaped into the spirit world.
…
Tens of seconds ago.
"Omniscient and almighty God, the Lord of all creation; You are the source of all greatness; You are the fallen nature of all living beings."
Klein used the Magician's "Wound Transfer" to transfer the wound on his neck to his right forearm. He quickly walked four steps back to the "Source Castle" and told the True Creator everything that happened here.
Klein wanted to prevent the Sequence Three who attacked him from finding him through mystical connections. As for matters concerning high-ranking Beyonders from the Outer Gods, Klein thought he could let the True Creator, a god who stood on the side of humanity, know about it.
The reason why Klein did not pray to the "Goddess of Night" was that the "Goddess of Night" Amanesis was currently planning a belief related to the "God of Death" and the kingdom of God was located in the astral realm.
The True Creator is currently in the Southern Continent, and does not need to assume the responsibility of guarding the satellite world for the time being. In terms of both distance and the power that can be exerted, the True Creator is stronger than the Goddess of Night.
Then, without stopping for a moment, he left Sefirah Castle and returned to reality. He was worried that the Mother Tree of Desire would look at him and expose Sefirah Castle's location, so he did not dare to stay on Sefirah Castle any longer.
After his spirit and body merged into one, Klein coughed slightly, and the pain of suffocation still remained in his body.
His figure disappeared again in a ball of bright flame, and with the help of continuous "fire jumps", he returned to the inn where he was staying.
With a "crash", Klein smashed the glass in his room and looked up at Leonard and Hugh. The two men saw a deep scar on Klein's right arm that could be seen to the bone, and they immediately stood up and asked,
"What's wrong with you?"
"The plan has changed. Unlike what I found out before, my divination has been blocked. And the 'Blood Admiral' has also found other helpers, most likely demigods." Klein said quickly, taking out the hemostatic potion made by Frank from his pocket and decisively pouring it on his arm.
The arm stopped bleeding quickly and began to slowly recover under the effect of the mystical potion.
"Leonard, go inform Cattleya and Sharon. Hugh, be on guard against the surroundings. If anyone approaches this room, notify me directly."
After that, Klein looked at Leonard with a serious look, with no intention of keeping it secret from Xio beside him: "Use your identity as a deacon of the Church of Evernight who came to the Rorsted Islands to carry out a mission to report to the Church of Storms that there may be members of the Rose School who are conducting some activities to summon gods."
Leonard responded slightly, leaned back, and disappeared into the dark night. The starlight enveloped him, and under the effect of letting the spirit "sleep", Leonard became even less noticeable.
Xio clenched the knife in his hand, looked at Captain Sparrow who had set up a spiritual wall, took a deep breath, and began to do reconnaissance and defense work.
A loud noise came from behind. Xio subconsciously looked outside and saw the divine punishment falling from the sky not far away, which made her dazed for a moment.
What kind of enemy are we hunting... What are their identities... Are Captain Sparrow and First Mate Mitchell really just members of the Aurora Society?
Xio kept his guarding posture, but he subconsciously thought in his heart.
Klein, who was only separated by a wall, had set up a spiritual wall. The wall made of spirituality weakened the huge noise, so Klein, who was concentrating, did not notice the sound.
Otherwise, Klein, who had experienced the Backlund Cataclysm, would have recognized that this was a divine punishment from the "Lord of the Storm" from afar.
He took out two paper figures he had made before from his arms, raised his hand, picked up the pen and began to write different things on them.
Klein hesitated for a moment, then blew the copper whistle of the messenger belonging to Azik. He handed the letter he had written to the skeleton messenger, who quickly formed a body burning with black flames but whose bones were slightly trembling.
It's afraid... Klein lowered his voice to the skeleton messenger and said, "Please deliver this letter to Mr. Azik immediately."
In this letter, he explained his current critical situation and asked Mr. Azik to come to help if conditions allowed.
Klein was already prepared. If he really fell into a dead end, he would simply smear his blood on "Groselle's Travels" and seek refuge in the world in the book.
He believed that with Mr. Azik's ability to travel through the spirit world, even if he could not defeat the two extraordinary people who had received the gift of the "Mother Tree of Desire", he would still have enough time to take himself or Groselle's Travel Notes away.
The current situation was obviously that the Blood Admiral Senior had already discovered him and ambushed him. Therefore, he set a trap here in the opposite direction, and used the possible existence of the Mother Tree of Desire behind to block the divination of the Sefirah Castle. In order to prevent the other party from making more preparations, Klein prepared to start temporarily mobilizing people.
After a beheading-like wound appeared on his neck, he immediately transferred the wound to his arm. Although this almost broke his hand, it bought precious time. However, after the wound healed, the suffocating feeling did not subside, so Klein recited the name of the True Creator in time.
Just as Klein had judged, this injury was a curse. However, in front of the True Creator, a god who symbolized "sacrifice" and "fall", this Sequence 3 curse was easily removed.
I owe the True Creator another favor, and I will have to ask Him for help next...
Klein quickly arranged the ritual items and summoned his messenger, Reinette. He handed the remaining paper figurine to Reinette, along with a gold coin.
This letter was intended for Gao Wei.
Although Gao Wei was currently in Backlund and might not be able to come in time, Klein believed that he would definitely do something after learning the news.
He wasn't worried that using paper figurines as carriers for writing letters would waste his means of saving his life. It was a bit embarrassing to say that his craftsmanship had always been poor, so he had commissioned Lao Gao's factory to help make these paper figurines. He specially used a needle tip to cut out dotted lines, and asked Klein to cut along the dotted lines.
This saved Klein a lot of trouble and also ensured that these paper substitutes had a mystical connection with Klein himself.
He hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not seek help from the Fallen Mother Goddess - he had a natural fear of the Fallen Mother Goddess, an outer god who was also outside the barrier like the Mother Tree of Desire.
Klein spoke a few words to Renette who was about to leave. Renette opened her mouth and reached an agreement with Klein.
After doing all this, Klein took out some money from his pocket and placed it on the table to compensate the hotel owner for his losses. He changed his clothes, cut open the spirit wall, and walked out of the broken window of the hotel wearing a black captain's hat.
Klein looked at Oravi Island and suddenly noticed that many places were burning with fire.
There is one more chapter!
(End of this chapterThe Tree of Flesh and Blood (Part 3)Chapter 245 The Tree of Flesh and Blood (Third Update)
"Oh, is there such a thing?" The High-Dimensional Overlooker folded the paper in his hand and threw it into his source essence.
"Let's go, Mother Goddess, let's go and give Her a life."
-
The cold wind suddenly poured in from the broken window, and the flames ignited. The whole city seemed to have turned into a blazing flame. Klein observed carefully and found that these flames were burning from the Governor's Mansion and spreading along the streets throughout the city.
Something has happened, Klein suddenly thought to himself. He thought of Bayam and Backlund.
Klein felt Olawi's fire burning into his heart.
He waited for a moment, and a figure wearing red gloves emerged from the darkness. Leonard had changed his clothes while going to report to the Church of Storm, and replaced them with the deacon uniform of the Church of Night.
"I have already notified the Church of the Storm, but the Church of the Storm has not appointed a demigod bishop here. However, Sea King Yan Cotman will be coming from Bayam soon."
Klein was silent for a moment. He looked at the burning city and said silently to Leonard in front of him:
"So what do you think we should do?"
"If we follow the safest method, we can just wait for the rescue of the Sequence 3. Anyway, we have the identity of the church, so we don't have to worry about other things." Leonard looked at Klein:
"You want to..."
"Do you remember what Captain Dunn said, Leonard?"
Klein said to Leonard in a low voice, "We are a group of poor creatures who are always fighting against danger and madness. We are also guardians. (Note 1)"
"So…" Leonard's eyes also darkened a little. He looked at Klein and waited for his next words.
"We can't just stand here and watch the disaster unfold and do nothing." Klein spoke to Leonard word by word. He thought of Backlund and Bayam in his heart. It was as if a flame was burning in his heart.
I used to be a night watcher. Klein subconsciously thought: If I keep playing it safe and avoid disasters, will I still be myself?
"Leonard, what would you think if I showed an identity that I shouldn't have next?"
"Okay, we all have secrets." Leonard laughed after hearing Klein's words, with a hint of smile in his emerald eyes.
"I told you this in Tingen, didn't I? The wheel of fate begins to turn, and the two protagonists of the era meet."
Leonard looked into Klein's eyes: "'Protagonists' are all special."
"I believe you, Klein."
He glanced at Xio beside him, took a step forward, leaned close to Klein's ear and spoke to him in a low voice.
"If you still have a grudge, we can have a good talk after this battle. Although the residents here are not believers of the goddess, this does not prevent us from continuing to protect this land."
"Okay." Klein's eyes flashed with a gentle smile. "Even if doing so might cause us to be tracked by the Church of Storms?"
"Even if doing so might lead to us being tracked down by the Church of Storms," Leonard said to Klein confidently. His usual casual demeanor was completely gone, and his tone was firmer than Klein had ever seen.
He looked at Klein and seemed to remember the young man who ignited Yangyan with his hands that day.
Xio, who was standing by, was a little confused, but she also held the cane that Klein had given her before and the dagger that he later got. Based on Xio's current observations, although the two people on her ship might have a connection with the terrifying organization Aurora, they were definitely not bad people.
At least, they saved their lives, and since Xio boarded the "Lost Homeland", she had never seen this poor pirate ship with the strength of a pirate general plunder.
You know, even "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya and "Vice Admiral of the Iceberg" Edwina would plunder merchant ships when they were extremely poor.
Thinking of how his captain often sighed while sitting in front of the treasury, Xio felt that there might be a deeper background behind him and that he could not be a bad person.
"Let's disguise ourselves, Leonard." Klein laughed and took out a few masks from his arms. He handed Leonard a wolf-head mask that looked like the god of death Anubis.
"Whether we succeed or not, we can no longer use identities related to the Church of Darkness when we are outside. We will be wanted by the church."
Klein covered his face with a mask and walked forward with Leonard. Xio followed closely behind, always on guard against any situation around him.
"Old man, what do you think Klein's identity is?" Leonard restrained his body movements and asked Pales Zoroast in his mind. Pales whispered to himself and said to Leonard:
"I have speculated with you many times."
After the conversation with Pales failed, Leonard shook his head slightly disappointed and quickly followed.
He was sure that the old man had seen some of it, but was unwilling to tell him.
Klein walked forward to the agreed location, which was an alley shrouded in darkness. Sharon emerged from the wall, and Cattleya turned into a ball of starlight and appeared here with her original crew.
"What should we do next?"
Cattleya didn't ask Klein why he called them here, but simply said to him. Obviously, Cattleya herself knew that the current situation on Oravi Island was definitely quite serious, and the most rational choice should be to leave directly.
"If you don't want to take the risk, you can just leave here." Klein was silent for a moment, and said to the few people in a low voice. "The current situation is much different than expected. I have no right to decide the path for you."
"We will encounter demigods next, and may even be caught up in the aftermath of the battle against 'Sea King' Yann Kottman, so I don't force you to fight with me. If you are willing to stay, I will leave most of the gains this time for you to share."
Klein paused. "If you want to leave directly, I will also ask the Lost Homeland to provide you with a small boat that can take you away from this island and go to other places."
Frank Lee looked at his companions with some fear, he wanted to find other different colors in their eyes. He liked this captain who was willing to provide him with extraordinary materials and experimental sites, and he also appreciated this partner who would share his wonderful ideas with him.
"Captain Sparrow, please tell us what enemies we need to face first?" Cattleya said to him rationally, without rashly agreeing or refusing.
Klein was silent for a moment, then explained to the others:
"Just now, I was ambushed by Admiral Blood, Senior, and another demigod of the Rose School. Now they seem to be using Oravi Island to set up a ceremony to summon a high-ranking extraordinary being to descend."
Klein moved his fingertips slightly, creating an illusion. The location where the fire was burning was outlined on the wall, forming a seemingly complicated ritual.
The center of this formation is the Governor's Palace located by the water.
"My first mate and I will be responsible for destroying the ritual center, which is the things they have set up in the Governor's Palace. If you want to stay, your mission is to kill as many members of the Rose School as possible in this city."
After saying that, Klein looked at Sharon beside him:
"In addition to Blood Admiral Senior, I was also attacked by an old man with a dark brown complexion and sparse white hair. Do you know this member of the Rose School who is at least a demigod?"
Sharon's body was filled with the blood of the Fallen Mother Goddess. Klein knew that Sharon was definitely in the top ten of the Rose School's hunting list. Therefore, if there was an opportunity, Sharon would not leave.
Sharon seemed stunned after hearing Klein's words.
"know."
After a while, Sharon's voice sounded calmly: "He is Jacks from the Rose School, the 'Silent Disciple' of Sequence Three."
Sequence Three… Klein's pupils shrank slightly as he looked at the people in front of him.
"Captain Sparrow, do you mean you are going to face two demigods at the same time?" Frank's eyes were filled with anxiety and complexity. He was worried about the captain beside him and the friend who provided him with inspiration. He was worried that he would die in this battle (Note 2):
"The news just came through Danitz's telegraph. Admiral Blood's flagship, the 'Tree of Flesh and Blood', has appeared near Bayam. Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina is currently dealing with Admiral Blood. Admiral Blood has not appeared yet, Captain Sparrow!"
"He might be in the Governor's Mansion now!"
"I'm not dealing with this alone." Looking at Frank who was genuinely worried about him, Klein was silent for a moment.
"I've also found other helpers. And if there are no special circumstances, Sea King Yann Cortman should be able to contain the opponent's Sequence Three."
Frank opened his mouth and was about to say something when he was interrupted by his captain Cattleya.
"Captain Sparrow, I can assist you in this battle."
"Leave those Rose School members around here to us."
"Wait a minute…" Klein was silent for a moment: "Xiu, you and Cattleya should go together."
"Captain, I—" Xio started speaking directly, but was met with a serious and majestic look from Klein: "It is not shameful to deal with those Beyonders with a similar sequence to yourself. In a battle involving demigods, I can't take care of you."
Strictly speaking, I can barely protect myself. If I didn't have the two demigod-level extraordinary items "Lost Homeland" and "Creeping Hunger", I wouldn't dare to get involved in the battle between demigods. When I fought with Jax before, one of my secret dolls was broken...
Klein maintained his leadership appearance and complained in his heart.
"Let Maric go as well." Sharon said calmly, seemingly not noticing Maric's eyes getting bigger and bigger. "He is only at Sequence 6, so he cannot participate in battles involving demigods."
Maric was silent for a moment.
As she spoke, Sharon turned to look at Klein and said, "I'll go to the Governor's Mansion with you."
Klein nodded in response. Xio pursed his lips and joined Cattleya's team with Maric.
Klein, Leonard, and Sharon, who stayed where they were, watched the rest of the people leave and looked in the direction of the Governor's Mansion.
They know how dangerous it is there.
Because there is a "tree" there.
A huge tree made entirely of flesh and blood!
"What should we do now? Go straight over there?" Leonard lowered his voice and asked Klein. Klein nodded slightly and explained to Leonard:
"Wait a minute, I'll call for help."
"Helper?" Leonard chewed on the words Klein said with some confusion, and blurted out subconsciously: "What other helpers can you invite..."
Leonard couldn't help but pause after saying this, because Klein tilted his head slightly to the side as usual, in a listening gesture.
"He's here." Klein said calmly, feeling a little uneasy. "What I'm going to do next may arouse your suspicion, but I'll explain what I'm doing to you after the battle."
Leonard nodded in approval.
His curiosity had been completely aroused. While he was a little worried about what Klein was going to do, he also had a strong curiosity.
Then, Leonard saw Klein speak—
"Omniscient and almighty God, the Lord of all creation; You are the source of all greatness; You are the fallen nature of all living beings."
"Please inform your messenger that I am here."
Klein paused for a moment and chanted the spell to summon his messenger again. Sharon seemed to realize something and her pupils shrank slightly.
An illusory gate and a number of gorgeous heads with golden hair appeared from the air at the same time.
A man with a mysterious black robe and hard hair walked out of the door, and on the other side was a translucent woman wearing a complicated and gorgeous black dress. She floated in the air and looked at the man who appeared at the same time.
The man in the black robe quickly looked away and saluted slightly to Klein in front of him:
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I come here in compliance with God's will."
This is... Are you really a member of the Aurora Society? When did you become the Archbishop of the True Creator? Leonard's whole body suddenly stiffened. He looked at Klein beside him, only to find that Klein had skillfully drawn a cross on his chest. (Note 3)
"Thank you for your assistance, Your Excellency the Secret Saint. I am sorry for what happened to your disciple."
"He... failed to grasp God's will. It was his own fault. Another archbishop also gave him a chance, but he actually wanted to betray the Lord."
The "Secret Saint" Butis revealed his deep eyes:
"The rest is at your command, Your Excellency the Archbishop."
Note 1: I changed the order on purpose, it is correct.
Note 2: Frank was actually suppressed and not allowed to do experiments. He was too innocent to be a Beyonder. If I had to describe it, Ah Mushroom only had pure curiosity. And Klein gave Ah Mushroom a laboratory and materials, so it was only natural that he could gain Ah Mushroom's friendship.
Note 3: Although everyone should be able to think of it, I still want to remind you. Although in our opinion, Klein has "freedom of belief", Leonard is a believer of the Goddess of Night. Most believers in this era are more devout (compared to now), which is one of the reasons why Klein is worried that Leonard and himself will have a grudge.
Just like there are still many devout believers in foreign countries now. If you deceive them into believing in their God and then tell them later that you actually believe in another God... emmm, the consequences can be imagined.
I have no drafts left, so I wrote 10,000 words today. Please vote for me next month!
Yuehu thanks everyone here
(End of this chapterAmyrius: I was just out for a few daysChapter 246 Amyrius: I was just out for a few days...
"Please take us there, Your Excellency the Secret Saint."
Klein said to Butis in front of him.
There was no extra expression on Butis' face. He just opened a "Traveler's Door" in the air and led a few people through the door and quickly arrived at the Governor's Palace.
"Your Excellency the Secret Saint, I hope you can come with me to expel the pagans who are preparing to bring down the Mother Tree of Desire. Among them is at least one demigod and one Sequence Three. I need your help."
"The followers of the evil god are becoming more and more rampant."
A hint of hidden fanaticism and hatred flashed in the deep eyes of the "Secret Saint" Butis. As a demigod who had prayed to the "True Creator", even though he had betrayed the Abraham family before, he still retained his fanatical belief in the True Creator.
His Lord had given him the oracle to come and drive out the pagans, and for him it was an honor and a duty.
If the "Secret Saint" Butis did not have a devout belief in the true Creator, how could he have become one of the highest-level extraordinary people listed as saints in the Aurora Society which is full of fanatics?
"Some gods are unable to give the cultists the punishment they deserve, so we will be the ones to bring the punishment upon them."
Butis said to Klein in front of him with great righteousness.
Listening to the words of the "Secret Saint" in front of him, Leonard felt a little uncomfortable, as if these words should not come out of Butis' mouth.
Aurora would call others cultists...isn't this just a joke? Leonard secretly complained in his heart.
However, facing a powerful enemy, Leonard chose to trust Klein. He did not say or ask too much, but kept everything to himself, preparing to wait until this incident was over before going to Klein to be honest.
"Your Excellency the Secret Saint, can you please open the door and go directly to the flesh and blood tree?" Klein thought for a moment and said, "This flesh and blood tree is the foundation and core of the pagans' divine descent ritual here. If we want to stop them, the easiest way is to eliminate the flesh and blood tree here."
Butis stretched out his hand and clenched it in the air for a moment, but the next moment he frowned.
"There's no way I can just go there."
Butis thought for a moment, and after feeling the space in front of him, he said to Klein, "There is an angel-level barrier there. All extraordinary abilities below the level of angels cannot work on it. This should be a method arranged by the evil god to protect himself."
"So..." Klein asked Butis tentatively. Klein felt that Butis had something else to say.
"The Lord has allowed me to carry an extraordinary item. I can use the power of this item to temporarily destroy a part of this barrier." Butis took out a silver-black three-layer jewelry box from his arms: "Your Excellency the Archbishop, you can go in directly during this time."
"After using it, I need some time to resolve the negative effects of this item - at least ten minutes to seal it."
Butis spoke in a calm tone. He estimated the fastest time he would need and spoke to Klein in front of him.
You know - Butis thought so. While assuming the noble status of the Lord's Favored One, Klein must also have the strength and courage to match this status.
"I understand." As Butis had expected, Klein quickly calmed down and made plans. He looked at Leonard and Sharon beside him and signaled them to go in with him.
Sharon is a demigod, and must participate in this operation against the two high-level extraordinary beings. Although Leonard is only Sequence 6 now, he has a Sequence 1 "Thief" angel parasitizing on him. Even if the angel cannot exert its strength in the battle, it can still protect Leonard from serious harm.
The sounds of artillery fire and fighting outside intensified. Klein looked at Butis in front of him and nodded slightly at him.
"Right now."
"The Secret Saint" Butis took a deep breath and opened the first layer of the silver-black jewelry box in his hand. He pointed the first layer at the door of the Governor's Mansion in front of him, which was covered by many roots, and suddenly opened the lid.
The next moment, Klein discovered that the distance from Butis to the gate of the Governor's Mansion seemed to have disappeared. The space "disappeared" inch by inch, and everything from Butis to the gate quietly disappeared.
And after this disappearing space came into contact with the doors at the same location as the blood-red roots, the space shrank rapidly, becoming large enough for only two or three people to enter and exit at the same time.
"30 seconds." Butis said hurriedly to the three people around him, and his body instantly became ethereal and disappeared on the spot.
The side effects of the sealed object "Box of the Old Days" are quite serious. Its holder will randomly disappear, die suddenly or mutate. Butis must reach the distorted and hidden space in the spirit world that he had arranged before in a short time and seal it up.
Even at the speed of the "Gate" route, it would take him at least ten minutes to complete all of this.
Watching the "Secret Saint" disappear before their eyes, Klein and the other two looked at each other and quickly ran forward one after another.
After the three people entered the "door", a figure in a tuxedo quickly entered the Governor's Mansion at the fastest speed and headed in another direction with familiarity.
Klein passed through the blood-red roots and was shocked to find that all the suppressed desires in his heart were aroused. In just a moment, he couldn't help but look at Sharon, feeling that his heart was filled with desire. He even felt that Leonard was handsome.
No, this is the influence of extraordinary abilities... Klein silently recited the name of the "True Creator" in his heart, and the "Lost Homeland" on his chest lit up, and a faint green flame burned beside him.
The power held by the true Creator is "degeneration" and "mutation." Even though the Mother Tree of Desire is the "source of the curse and the lord of aliens," what is projected here is only a trace of His breath, and Klein, who is under the protection of the true Creator, cannot be controlled by His breath.
Leonard was still somewhat confused and looked at the only woman beside him involuntarily, but the next moment his movements were "confused" for a moment. Klein noticed that his wrist twisted slightly, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
Leonard regained consciousness and took a deep breath, releasing the power of "Sleep" from the "Night" path, calming the desires in the hearts of several people.
The "sleeping" ability of the "requiem master" can make the spirit sleep and soothe the opponent's desires and emotions. And now it happens to be used to restrain the abnormal desires in one's heart that are aroused by the Mother Tree of Desire!
"Let's go." Leonard took a deep breath and said to Klein in front of him.
Klein slightly turned sideways, and a cold light flashed in his hand, causing a transparent and even illusory crystalline color to appear on the "Creeping Hunger".
His figure flickered several times as the ability of "Traveler" in his hand was activated, and he seemed to jump at high speed in different spaces. He reached out and held the hands of Leonard and Sharon, who was in spirit form, and quickly moved from the broken gate towards the core of the flesh and blood tree.
On earth, no Beyonder is faster than the Door!
Klein didn't intend to care about those people around him who were completely contaminated by the Mother Tree of Desire, because every second he stayed here would make the "Tree of Flesh and Blood" more dangerous. Now is not the time to be a saint. If you want to eradicate this pollution, you must remove the Tree of Flesh and Blood at the core.
Although it is cruel, wasting time trying to rescue these people will only result in them dying slowly or even living a life worse than death.
Klein flashed with the two of them in an instant and quickly approached the headquarters. However, after passing a room nearby, Klein suddenly found that he could no longer use the "flash" ability that required the help of the spirit world. His body, which had been moving at high speed, suddenly stopped.
The interaction with the spirit world was cut off? Is there a trap? Klein immediately looked ahead with caution.
The man in front of Klein looked at him with gloomy eyes. He was wearing a tuxedo and a top hat. But it was obvious that the man in front of him was not used to wearing the clothes he was wearing. There were already a lot of cracks on his forearms and calves from the battle.
After seeing the person coming, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
"——Interaction with the outside world is prohibited here."
The man announced, completing the "Law" that he had not completed just now. With a simple press of his hand, he banished the deformed monster in front of him into the void.
His eyes were gloomy, but they retained a hint of seriousness. He looked at Klein in front of him with a stern face, and his eyes paused for a moment on the "creeping hunger" in his hand.
"Aurora Society?" He murmured slightly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes: "I saw you just now - what are you doing here?"
This is a demigod!
As Klein faced the demigod's imposing aura, he felt his breathing almost stop. It seemed that the demigod in front of him could deprive him of the ability to breathe just by opening his mouth.
But Klein did not retreat at all. He used his aura of the "Black Knight" of the "Lost Homeland" to overwhelm the demigod:
"I will execute the heretics."
"This incident was the work of cultists who believe in the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."
Do you Aurora people call others cultists? Amyrius, who had been fighting cultists for many years, felt that there was something absurd and funny in his heart, and his reaction was somewhat similar to Leonard's at the beginning. He glanced at Klein in front of him, and a trace of irresistible majesty flashed in his eyes.
Under the majesty of the Sequence 4 "Lawmaster", even demigods of the same level cannot defy the rules he sets!
"Lying is forbidden here," he announced, and then asked seriously:
"Why did you come here?"
He had to use his abilities to determine whether these "abnormal" believers of the true Creator, or even the messengers of the Aurora Society, came here for destruction or for other reasons.
In Amyrius' opinion, the situation among the people before him was most likely a dog-eat-dog situation arising from a conflict of interest between the Aurora Society and the Rose School.
It is better to believe that the gods are merciful than to believe that the cultists are good - Admiral Levitt, who is closer to God than to man, thought so.
"The Lord's teachings tell us that when people are invaded by evil, we must personally drive out the evil." Klein skillfully drew a cross on his chest, with sincerity in his eyes.
"The Lord asked us to stop this disaster."
Klein would naturally not violate the rules set by the demigod of the "Judge" path in front of him. After all, this doctrine was added by him to the scriptures of the true Creator, so it could not be considered a lie.
No matter how hard the Admiral racked his brains, he would never have thought that there could be believers of the "True Creator" who could modify the Lord's scriptures.
After all, believers of the true Creator are relatively... simple.
"You…" Amyrius wanted to say something, but he glanced at the broken tree-like corpse under his feet and sighed.
"If you really have the ability to crack the core here, I will help you to the best of my ability."
Cooperating with the cultists, oh, you have also betrayed the oath you left at the beginning... Amyrius sighed in his heart. The force that attacked the Governor's Mansion was too strong, and even he was not qualified to fight the source of evil in the Governor's Mansion.
His brother and his lover both died here. The one he had just executed on the ground was his completely polluted lover.
What frightened him the most was that the core of the ritual guarded by two powerful extraordinary beings seemed to be just a prelude to this disaster. He didn't know what would happen after this prelude was over.
But Amyrius's demigod spirit told him in his heart that if this ritual was completed, the entire Oravi Island and even the surrounding islands would be doomed.
The rules just now are still valid. I tried to lie, but I couldn't tell a lie... Klein just expressed his desire to lie, but was restricted by the rules and couldn't say it.
In other words, the admiral in front of him still adhered to the rules just now, and what he said was his true willingness to cooperate... Klein nodded slightly:
"This is a ritual performed by the Rose School in the hope of allowing their gods to descend upon the world. If this ritual is completed, the Mother Tree of Desire will be able to project some of its power here, turning this place into an abyss on earth."
"Do you have any way to resolve this ritual? Is this a gift bestowed upon you by the True Creator?" Amyrius asked immediately after hearing what the Aurora Messenger in front of him had said, but he then saw Klein smile.
Klein took off his pirate hat as elegantly as if he were taking off a top hat.
"No one knows how to arrange a divine descent ceremony better than us."
It's nothing, it's just practice that makes perfect... Klein added silently in his mind, remembering the Aurora Society's many failed God's Descent rituals.

"We're here."
The high-dimensional looker had gentle eyes, was wearing a suit, and walked into the city with his head held high with the Mother Goddess.
It's just one chapter. I'll find a chance to update more later.
