In a few breaths, Hobert arrived at the Giant King's Court, forever shrouded in twilight, its architecture magnificent yet dilapidated, filled with the vicissitudes of history!
He looked around before grabbing Amon's avatar by the neck and heading towards the Giant King's residence, in front of the towering stone door.
As long as Hobert kept Amon's avatar by the neck, this avatar couldn't escape.
Passing through the massive stone door, the two entered the side of the "Forsaken Land of the Gods."
As far as the eye could see, there was boundless darkness, the only light being the streaks of lightning across the sky, creating a sense of immense oppression, as if the depths here were the "end of the world."
"I understand," Amon's avatar suddenly said, "You want to use me to find my main body!"
Hobert smiled, "That's right."
"Why?" the avatar asked, puzzled, "I mean, are you planning to convert to my main body's faith?"
"Do you think that's possible?"
"Hehehe," Amon's avatar chuckled, "I just thought the atmosphere was a bit oppressive and wanted to liven things up.
"Tell me, why are you looking for my main body? Maybe I can give you some ideas."
Hobert glanced at Amon's avatar; the guy didn't seem to be joking.
So, while "escorting" Amon's avatar through the hall of the Giant King's residence, he said, "Your main body once threatened me, telling me not to destroy the Paz Kingdom.
"But now I want to unify the Southern Continent, so I need to get rid of your main body first, so I can launch the war of annihilation without any worries."
Hobert said this not really hoping for any brilliant ideas from the avatar, but purely out of boredom, wanting to chat.
Of course, he also knew that in the "Forsaken Land of the Gods," where no true gods were willing to visit, there was almost no way to kill Amon's main body, so saying this was somewhat of a bluff.
Amon's avatar said, "I really like your personality, too bad you're an enemy."
"Yeah," Hobert said, "I don't really like your personality, fortunately, we are enemies."
At this point, Hobert had already led Amon's avatar out of the hall and to the front of the Giant King's residence.
Hobert took a deep breath, "The air is full of decay and moisture, hehe, let's begin."
Amon's avatar then said, "I think you might be overestimating your abilities.
"Even if you are a King of Angels, with your abilities, you still shouldn't think about using an avatar to find the main body.
"Also, I want to remind you that my main body's authority is 'errors,' don't use any common sense or logical things to deal with Him."
Hobert smiled, "Of course, I know.
"To make this counterattack more ritualistic, I will explain to you the steps I will take to find your main body.
"First, I will pray to Mr. Fool.
"The Fool who does not belong to this era..."
As he spoke, he really prayed to "The Fool."
Feeling "The Fool's" attention, Hobert added, "Of course, I know that Amon has a hundred ways to sever the connection with the avatar, so I need to use the 'Worms of Time.'"
Amon's avatar reached out and pinched his monocle, "I understand, you want to use the Beyonder characteristics in my 'Worms of Time' to return to the main body's characteristics!"
Hobert smiled, "That's right, Amon can prevent this, but He can't sever the connection between himself and the 'Worms of Time' the moment you die.
"Also, you don't need to pinch your monocle anymore, after I caught you, this lens has been in a 'distorted' state, your main body can't receive the signals you send."
Amon's avatar sighed, "It seems you've been planning this for a long time."
"Yes," Hobert said seriously, "I hate being threatened the most, everyone who has threatened me has come to a bad end, I think Amon is no exception."
To be precise, when Hobert was "carrying" Angel City back, he was already planning how to beat Amon up.
Hobert finally smiled, "Get ready, I'm going to kill you."
"To be honest, I really admire your personality," Amon's avatar said with emotion, "It would have been great if we had met earlier, maybe we could have been friends."
But in the next second, this Amon avatar turned into powder under Hobert's power, and Hobert only had three "Worms of Time" left in his hand.
He raised the "Worms of Time" slightly and used the "Magnify" ability to make the return of the Beyonder characteristics in the "Worms of Time" easier to detect.
At the same time, the image of Mr. Fool suddenly appeared above him, placing a cloud of gray fog on Hobert's hand.
This was equivalent to opening up some of the "Sefirah Castle's" permissions to Hobert, allowing Hobert to "use" the Sefirah Castle's attraction to the uniqueness of the "Error" pathway and the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, overlapping it with the return of the Beyonder characteristics of the "Worms of Time," increasing the probability of finding Amon's main body.
It was like installing a signal amplifier on these three "Worms of Time."
Hobert began to use "Connection," and after a second or two, he suddenly said, "Found it!"
In that instant, a barrier of "Power of Order" surrounded Hobert, and he stepped out, instantly appearing in front of Amon's main body.
However, as he expected, before he could see Amon's face clearly, the ground beneath Hobert's feet suddenly turned into a pitch-black, terrifying abyss!
Inside, there seemed to be black tides flowing, the tides forming faces of pain, either making seductive sounds towards Hobert or emitting terrifying laughter.
Hobert felt his spirit body, physical body, and the surrounding air...even space were sinking and falling!
This was a genuine abyss!
But in the next second, Hobert, while dispelling the barrier, used the "Tamper" ability, turning the huge abyss beneath his feet into the size of a fingernail, and the suction and the feeling of depravity were immediately reduced to the point where Hobert could completely ignore them.
He looked around while asking Amon, "Why do you like the abyss so much?"
This was a palace from the old era, but the decoration was in the modern Loen style, and even looked a bit luxurious.
The room they were in was very bright, because there was an electric light overhead, but the wire was only a short section, and there was no place to get electricity, but it didn't affect the lamp being very bright.
Amon was reclining on the desk, with stacks of thick books under him.
He also had a thick and large book in his hand, and before Hobert came, he seemed to be looking for some information.
Amon heard this, sat up, put down the book and smiled, "That's because of an experiment I did, and found a small secret, so it's easy to establish a certain connection with the abyss."
Hobert nodded slowly, then said, "Sorry, now I'm going to kill Trunsoest and destroy the Paz Kingdom.
"Let's discuss it, how about this? Before I become a god, don't interfere in the affairs of the Southern Continent, after I become a god...hehe, you won't have a chance to interfere!"
Amon habitually pinched his eye socket, "What you said sounds very punchable."
"When I was preparing to drive Trunsoest away in Caesar Harbor, you said the same thing to me," Hobert said seriously.
"No wonder," Amon took off his monocle and wiped it, "To be honest, it's very surprising that you can find this place."
Hobert said, "I just want you to know that not only can you threaten others, but now someone can threaten you too!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will go to the Atlantis Kingdom to cause damage?"
"I couldn't ask for more," Hobert smiled, "The more damage you cause, the more reason I have to target you and attack you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hobert suddenly used the "Distort" ability, making Amon and the surrounding space "distorted," as if a vortex appeared there, and Amon and the surrounding space were about to be sucked into it.
But then, this "vortex" went "wrong" and appeared beside Hobert, and Hobert was "distorted" by his own ability and turned into powder in the "space" vortex.
But in the next second, Amon turned into powder, because Hobert "gave" his state to Amon.
Then, Hobert disconnected Amon from his avatars, making it difficult for his avatars to support him for a while.
Although Amon turned into powder, he didn't suffer much damage, he "stole" his powdered state, so he became normal again.
At the same time, what was "stolen" was also Hobert's destiny, and Hobert's connection with "The Fool."
Just now, "The Fool" had been observing the process of their fight and waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Without destiny, Hobert suddenly became illusory, and in the next second, he disappeared directly, but at the same time, a solid Hobert figure appeared in the corner of the room.
What was stolen was the shadow of Hobert, the real Hobert had been preparing to give Amon a heavy blow.
Now, the opportunity finally came, Hobert snapped his fingers, and the space around Amon immediately darkened, which was a barrier formed by the power of the "Nation of Disorder."
This barrier was the best defense when used by Hobert, but it was also a very high-level seal.
Amon pinched his monocle, and the simple and unpretentious "Blasphemy Slate" appeared in front of him.
Amon waved his hand, and the "Blasphemy Slate" smashed a big hole in the barrier.
But Amon found that it was difficult for him to get out of this barrier, because "The Fool" had re-established the connection through Hobert's star, and He "grafted" Amon and the barrier generated by "Power of Order" together.
This barrier was like becoming a part of Amon's body, and he had to take it wherever he went.
Even if Amon had the "Blasphemy Slate," the power of the "Nation of Disorder" was also a kind of corruption to him, and if he stayed with the barrier for a long time, he would definitely be affected by the "Nation of Disorder."
At the same time, Hobert had already taken out the "0-80" Book of Law from the "Nation of Disorder," and the brass book immediately opened, and a line of mercury-colored words appeared on the new page: Stealing is prohibited here, violators will be severely punished.
Amon grabbed towards the Book of Law, the "Book of Law" was stolen by Him, and Amon "deceived" his stealing behavior, so he was not punished for the time being.
But almost at the same time, Hobert "distorted" the state of the "Book of Law," turning it into a huge "Order Crystal."
This "Order Crystal" was like it had life, rushing towards Amon's face.
Amon quickly dodged, but was "pounced" on the shoulder by the "Order Crystal," and half of his body was covered by the "Order Crystal."
But at this time, Hobert suddenly seemed to be in a surging ocean with all colors, and the colored seawater completely wrapped Hobert.
These "seawater" did not have any rules for Hobert to use.
At the same time, a large expanse of turbulent ocean appeared in front of "The Fool" in the air, which could actually block the gray fog of the "Sefirah Castle."
At this time, the position where Amon was gradually turned into a stone slab that gave people a sense of vicissitudes, and the real Amon had already "fallen" outside the barrier.
It turned out that He had just "deceived" Hobert and "The Fool," allowing the "Blasphemy Slate" to suffer those attacks for Him.
Amon took advantage of the fact that the two enemies could not get rid of the partial power of the "Chaos Sea" for a while, and He quickly left the room.
In the next second, Hobert, wrapped in the power of the "Nation of Disorder," swam out of the "Chaos Sea," and the seawater around him instantly faded.
The seawater in front of "The Fool" was also dispelled by the gray fog, and the "Chaos Sea" seawater in the room completely disappeared.
At the same time, the "Blasphemy Slate" also disappeared.
They did not make any stops, "The Fool" immediately withdrew his gaze, and Hobert also immediately left here after taking back the power of the "Book of Law" and the "Nation of Disorder."
At the same time, He also used the "Distort" ability to take away Amon's room.
This should be a stronghold of Amon, and Hobert plans to take it back to study it.
At this time, Amon, who had escaped from there, was on a dark mountaintop, He looked in the direction he had just escaped, took a deep breath, as if he was saying to the air: "Haven't you already found him? We must speed up the pace of action."
The combined moves that "The Fool" and Hobert used with "Sephirot" just now made Him a little overwhelmed, fortunately He got the "Blasphemy Slate" and used it to steal a part of the power of the "Chaos Sea," otherwise He would have paid a heavy price today!
...
On a deserted island in the Fog Sea, Hobert was afraid that there were still some traps in Amon's room, so he came here to search.
There were a lot of books in the room where they were fighting just now, Hobert opened one and looked at it, it was a kind of text that He had never seen before, composed of some strange symbols.
Hobert called Klein, who had more research on history and ancient documents, and after discussing it for a long time, the two believed that this was a kind of text invented by Amon himself, and probably only He himself could understand it in the world.
For a former "Cryptologist," it is not difficult to create his own writing system.
Using this original text, Amon has recorded so many things, which makes Hobert sigh: "It's hard to imagine how idle He is!"
Klein smiled helplessly: "But this also shows that His research is very profound!"
These texts are basically difficult to decipher, so Hobert and Klein went to another room.
It looked more like a laboratory, with experimental instruments and materials, but they vanished the moment Hobert and Klein saw them.
Hobert didn't have time to "tamper" with their state because Amon had clearly made arrangements in advance. The instant they were seen, they were essentially no longer there.
For the material world, this was an "error," but Amon created this "error," so the material world didn't detect it and there was no "correction" process in the underlying logic.
However, Hobert, as a King of Angels, saw everything in that room with just one glance.
The experimental materials caught Hobert's attention. Among them were several Beyonder characteristics that had been corrupted. He also saw the slender-necked glass bottle that once held the "Uncertain Mist," but the mist inside the bottle had disappeared without a trace.
There was also a polygonal crystal, seemingly containing illusory stars. One could clearly see all the internal structures of the crystal, as if it were completely open, displaying all its structures to people.
Hobert and Klein had both seen this crystal before. Hobert saw this crystal related to the "High-Dimensional Overseer" when he and "The Hanged Man" Alger first explored the Elven ruins.
This made Hobert realize that Amon's research was likely related to the Outer Deities.
Thinking of this, Hobert frowned. This Amon felt very unfamiliar.
This guy always seemed to enjoy taking shortcuts. Suddenly seeing him doing so much research felt like a notoriously poor student getting into a prestigious university.
But Hobert was certain that this guy was not influenced by the Outer Deities.
Finally, Hobert realized that "being able to do research seriously" and "liking to take shortcuts" didn't seem to be in conflict. After all, Amon's pathway involved studying "errors" and "loopholes" to exploit them at the right moment.
Hobert didn't continue to think about this issue. He estimated that it would be difficult for Amon to launch a revenge attack in the short term, which was a good opportunity to attack the Paz Kingdom.
After separating from Klein, Hobert arrived at the Palu Canyon and "kicked" the canyon wider, completely "cutting" the Palu Mountains in two.
He planned to take Trunsoest's life today!
...
Utopia.
After Klein returned, he first checked his marionette city.
Seeing that everything was normal, he entered the Saint Arianna Cathedral.
Just as he entered the door of the church, Klein looked towards the dock. A torrent of complex knowledge suddenly appeared on the dock, forming a man with chestnut hair wearing luxurious clothes.
It was the historical projection of "Knowledge Emperor" Roselle Gustav.
In the next second, the people and objects around the dock all turned into streams of information, which converged into a virtual light ball in Roselle's palm.
Based on this information, Roselle's historical projection found the "spirit body threads" of the people around him. Then, this information transformed into a torrent of information, rushing towards the underground of the Saint Arianna Cathedral.
At the same time, Zaratul, wearing a black robe and hood, appeared directly above the church with the historical projections of the emotionless "Pale Empress" and the ugly "Abomination."
Klein had already used the time the other party found him to inject spirituality into the "Order Crystal" Hobert gave him, sending a signal to Hobert. At the same time, Klein jumped into the historical fog.
However, just as he entered the Historical Void, a vortex composed of countless transparent worms appeared in front of him, and the vortex extended slippery tentacles covered with strange patterns.
Because Klein was now an angel, the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence had become very obvious. The intuitive feeling was that the vortex emitted a huge suction force, causing Klein's figure to rush towards the center of the vortex involuntarily.
...
Hobert sat on a rock in the Palu Mountains for a long time, but Trunsoest didn't show up!
He was about to issue an order for a general attack to Medici when he suddenly felt the signal from Klein!
Hobert was slightly stunned, seemingly realizing that today's attack might make Amon unable to hold his breath.
He didn't go to Utopia immediately but returned to Angel City, using the "Wall of Spirituality" and the "Order Crystal" to pile himself up, and then entered the "Nation of Disorder."
He planned to appear in Utopia in the image of the "Creator," just like when he and Bernadette explored the nameless island before. The real Hobert would hide in the shadow of the "Creator."
He was already a King of Angels, and being in the "Nation of Disorder" didn't help him much in terms of level improvement, but appearing in the image of the "Creator" was safer for him and allowed him to use the "Bell of Order" at any time.
When he appeared above Utopia in the image of the "Creator," he saw Klein being grabbed by a slippery tentacle in the Historical Void.
But in the next instant, Klein turned into a paper doll.
At this time, the three historical projections summoned by Zaratul all looked into the sky. In their eyes, a mighty figure wearing black armor and a handsome black cloak was watching here. He exuded divine light and overlooked everything in the world.
Seeing this mighty figure, the three historical projections immediately changed, unwilling to listen to Zaratul's orders in a short time.
What made Zaratul helpless was that he couldn't undo the summons.
It was as if the "Creator" had restricted the most troublesome ability of Zaratul, the "Servant of Concealment," with just one move.
Zaratul turned around and ran, but found that he couldn't because his summons of historical projections seemed to have mutated. The three historical projections were like three vortexes of power, dragging Zaratul.
And Zaratul felt that he was becoming illusory, while the three historical projections were gradually solidifying. If this continued, Zaratul would become a historical projection.
To be precise, this was the "Creator" strengthening the "connection" between Zaratul and the historical projections he summoned, which was equivalent to three Sequence 1s grabbing Zaratul.
Then, the "Creator" "distorted" the concept of Zaratul and the historical projections, turning Zaratul into a semi-entity and semi-historical projection state. In this state, he couldn't go anywhere.
At this time, a black "javelin" appeared in the "Creator's" hand, which was the javelin form of the "Sword of Disorder."
The "Creator" raised his hand, and the javelin was like an arrow leaving the string, hitting Zaratul's heart.
Poof~
Zaratul immediately turned into a paper doll, but in the next second, the javelin still pierced the illusory Zaratul against common sense.
Hobert caused a certain "Disorder" in the surrounding rules: as long as the substitute was hit, it was equivalent to hitting the main body.
Zaratul was a little panicked at this time because the support promised by his allies had not appeared until now.
Just then, Klein, who was watching the excitement with his arms folded on the top of the Saint Arianna Cathedral, suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Poof~
An ancient wooden cross pierced through Klein's heart from behind.
A figure was outlined behind him, it was Gehrman Sparrow wearing a silk hat and a black trench coat.
Klein's pupils contracted.
And Gehrman Sparrow said at this time: "Adam gave me humanity."
