The "Creator" in mid-air was somewhat taken aback when he saw Gehrman Sparrow attack Klein.

Of course, He clearly remembered this famous scene, but seeing it with His own eyes, He still found it quite magical.

Moreover, as a King of Angels, His spirituality had no premonition of this attack!

Apart from the fact that Gehrman Sparrow was originally Klein, making it impossible to detect, it further illustrated that there was a certain qualitative change between a god and a King of Angels.

Almost in the same instant, pitch-black stone pillars rose from the ground on the streets of Utopia, and the buildings within the range of the stone pillars instantly turned to ashes.

These stone pillars supported a magnificent and sacred cathedral, encompassing Klein within.

This was Adam's Corpse Cathedral, the Divine Kingdom of the "Visionary."

Dong~

The "Creator" immediately rang the "Bell of Order", but the Corpse Cathedral only shook slightly, and the effect was not significant.

He landed in Utopia and came to the Corpse Cathedral, carefully observing it.

Not far from the Corpse Cathedral, Gehrman Sparrow, wearing a black trench coat, had a rather complicated expression.

Adam only gave humanity, without imagining life.

He slowly fell down, his gaze cast upon the somewhat damaged Utopia, and finally died in this city symbolizing freedom.

At this time, Zaratul, who had been stabbed by the "Sword of Disorder", finally escaped the powerful deterrent range of the "Creator", and He immediately opened the historical void to escape.

But the moment he entered the historical void, Zaratul was actually "pushed" out by the historical void and landed in front of Hobert.

The historical void "betrayed" this "Servant of Concealment", sending Him to the "Creator".

Zaratul was somewhat desperate at this time. He had seen Kings of Angels before, but this was the first time He had encountered a situation where He couldn't escape.

Hobert was able to trap Zaratul relatively easily, mainly because He was very familiar with the abilities of the "Seer" pathway.

It is difficult for some pathways that are not well understood to block the opponent's retreat so tightly.

Hobert was very clear that Klein inside was not in much danger for the time being, so He looked at Zaratul on the side.

… …

Inside the Corpse Cathedral.

Klein's feet landed, and he stood in the center of the cathedral.

He saw that each pillar and dome here was inlaid with the skulls of different races. For a time, they all stared at Klein with their hollow eyes.

On the walls, windows, and doors of the cathedral, transparent, distorted faces emerged, completely separating the interior from the outside world.

At the very front of the cathedral stood a cross hundreds of meters high.

In front of the cross, there were rows of black chairs with backs.

Adam, wearing a simple white robe, with a light golden beard, and a silver cross pendant, stood under the cross, facing rows of chairs, like a pastor preparing to preach to believers.

His expression was kind, as if he was just inviting Klein to listen to a lecture.

Klein lowered his head and looked at the wooden stake inserted in his chest, and slowly walked towards the first row of chairs, generously sitting in the middle position.

For Klein, the injury on his chest was not fatal at all. The main function of that ancient wooden stake was to seal Beyonder abilities.

Klein expressed his doubts: "It can't be that we just beat up your brother, and you came to help him fight back, right?"

"I found you through the subconscious ocean long ago." Adam said with a kind smile: "The reason why I'm only dealing with you now is mainly to control the two biggest unstable factors and attract the attention of the orthodox gods at the same time."

Klein thought for a moment and said: "Amon plans to become a god now?"

The so-called two unstable factors, of course, refer to the "Fool" and the "Creator".

Before that, Hobert had discussed with Klein that once Amon started the process of becoming a god, Klein, as the owner of the Sefirah Castle, would definitely be able to detect it.

So if there was a chance, he must disrupt Amon's process of becoming a god.

Even if he couldn't stop it, at least he had to make his state not so good after becoming a god.

As Adam and Amon, the two brothers who existed since the Third Epoch, have witnessed many processes of becoming gods, of course, they will not take chances at this critical time.

So Adam was responsible for controlling all unstable factors and attracting the attention of the gods.

And Amon immediately began the ritual of becoming a god.

… …

On a ship sailing in the Rorsted Archipelago.

Verdu Garcia, who had left the Abraham family, pondered some clues he had obtained and prepared to pray for the help of a god to help him unlock the seal on the Ancestor.

At this time, a young man wearing a pointed soft hat and a classic robe suddenly appeared beside him.

The young man straightened the monocle he was wearing on his eye socket: "Sorry, the game is going to end early.

"To be honest, your performance is very poor. You haven't even prayed to the 'god' I fabricated until now. I have to speed up the progress of the game."

Verdu Garcia took two steps back in horror: "You…"

But in the next second, he was "deceived" by Amon and became very excited: "Great 'Favored', thank you for your guidance, what should I do now?"

Amon did not answer immediately, but "stole" the distance, and the two immediately appeared in a primeval forest on a deserted island.

"Okay, you can set up the altar." He ordered.

Without thinking, Verdu Garcia immediately began to light candles and burn essential oils to set up this altar.

Finally, he took out the dagger he carried with him, separated his palm, and let his blood drip on the simple altar.

A voice seemed to suddenly appear in his mind: It is very dangerous to leave your blood on the altar!

Verdu Garcia was also very strange, why would he do such a dangerous thing?

But in the next second, he immediately dispelled his doubts, thinking that the ritual he was going to perform next was very special and should have some special steps.

Immediately afterwards, an Amon avatar appeared, and He brought a mass of translucent flesh with slippery tentacles. On the flesh, there were also distorted worms crawling around.

Almost at the same time, another Amon avatar appeared, carrying a bird with a deformed head. Each of its feathers flickered with a faint starlight.

Verdu Garcia immediately recognized it: This is a monster with the Beyonder characteristics of a "Secrets Sorcerer"!

At this moment, he seemed to not notice Amon and Amon's avatars around him at all, nor did he realize that these demigod-level things came too strangely.

He was full of joy at this time, feeling that the opportunity to unlock the seal on the Ancestor was right in front of him!

At this time, next to the flesh and the bird with the deformed head, another comatose crow appeared. Of course, it only looked like a crow. Each feather on its body was close to transparent and had circles of rings.

Verdu Garcia was ecstatic and immediately began the ritual.

At this time, his hands suddenly shook a few times, feeling a little weak. That was his spirituality's last reminder to him, making him realize that the next behavior would be very dangerous.

But he comforted himself: What I am doing is inherently risky, just like the spirituality's reminder before drinking the magic potion. Knowing that there is danger, I still have to continue.

So after checking the altar again, Verdu Garcia took a step back and solemnly chanted in Jotun: "Great Door of All Doors;

"Guide of Endless Cosmos;

"Key to All Mysterious Worlds.

"I pray for your response, pray for your descent into this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, three tight sounds of "Peng, Peng, Peng" were emitted from the altar.

The demigod-level monsters corresponding to "Bizarro Sorcerer", "Secrets Sorcerer", and "Parasite" seemed to be crushed by an invisible hand, turning into clusters of blood flashing different colors.

These flesh and blood seemed to have their own vitality. Under the guidance of some unspeakable power, they gathered in mid-air, outlining one after another evil and filthy symbol.

Countless symbols combined together, slowly forming a door whose flesh and blood were still wriggling.

The inside of the door was a darkness, not knowing where it led.

On the altar, the candle flame representing Mr. "Door" suddenly soared high, shining into the darkness.

In the darkness, one after another faint rays of starlight appeared. The starlight quickly approached the door on the altar.

When the starlight was close enough, a huge arm appeared in Verdu Garcia's vision.

That was not an arm belonging to a human. It squeezed out of the door with force, causing the entire forest and the entire island around it to shake.

Verdu Garcia watched this scene with joy, but his vision suddenly blurred.

Pa~

Something fell from his face into the grass. Verdu Garcia lowered his head subconsciously and saw that it was an eyeball with protruding blood vessels.

Immediately afterwards, his nose and his ears also fell down.

At this time, Verdu Garcia's mind was suddenly very clear, recalling some abnormalities that he had ignored since a few years ago. He unconsciously looked towards Amon's direction with his one eye.

But he only saw an ancient stone slab.

Plop~

Verdu Garcia could no longer support himself and fell to the ground, and his flesh and blood collapsed immediately.

His filthy blood immediately flowed towards Amon, but when it flowed to the front of the "Blasphemy Slate", this blood seemed to suddenly lose its target, circled around and then disappeared.

This is also the reason why Amon is not very willing to directly interfere with Verdu Garcia. In addition to being easily discovered by the orthodox gods, it is also because carrying out this ritual will be corrupted by a very high level. Once there is too obvious extraordinary intervention, this corruption can easily "find" Amon along those interventions.

So a few years ago, Amon secretly "funded" Verdu Garcia's research, just to use him to put Mr. "Door" back at the right time.

… …

Outside the Corpse Cathedral.

The "Creator" "magnified" Zaratul's injuries, allowing the previous injuries of the "Sword of Disorder" to accelerate and deteriorate.

Even if Zaratul is composed of one "Worm of Spirit" after another, the "Sword of Disorder" will also cause each of His "Worms of Spirit" to be injured.

At this time, Zaratul's whole body became translucent, and there were already signs of decomposition!

The "Creator" took action again, "tampering" with Zaratul's state, making Him weaker and easier to decompose, accelerating the speed of His collapse.

This was the method Hobert used to deal with the Gloomy Wolf Kotar before.

The space around Zaratul distorted suddenly, completely isolating himself into another space.

At the same time, He turned a "Utopia resident" in that space into His marionette. He first changed the "Spirit Body Threads" of the marionette, making the marionette's "Spirit Body Threads" very similar to His own, and used the ability of "grafting" to let this marionette replace Himself in the mystical sense.

Then, Zaratul exchanged with the Marionette and immediately severed all connections with it.

In that instant, the Marionette shattered, turning into dust, while Zaratul successfully escaped.

At this moment, Zaratul did not dare to leave the "Realm of Mysteries" he created, nor did he dare to enter the "Historical Void" again. He knew very well that he alone was definitely not a match for Hobert.

So he could only wait inside, hoping that Adam would quickly resolve Klein and then help him escape.

The "Creator" outside the "Realm of Mysteries" felt that his attack had failed. He thought to himself, "It seems that the methods to deal with a 'Miracle Invoker' cannot deal with a 'Attendant of Mysteries'."

The "Creator" summoned the "Sword of Disorder" again and stabbed it hard at the Corpse Cathedral to test it. It could only scratch a shallow mark, and soon the Corpse Cathedral could "self-heal".

The "Creator" frowned. The strength of the Divine Kingdom... or rather, Adam's Divine Kingdom was somewhat beyond His expectations. If His "Sword of Disorder" stabbed a god, it wouldn't only leave such a shallow mark.

Then, He used the "Sword of Disorder" to stab Zaratul's "Realm of Mysteries" fiercely. The "Realm of Mysteries" had a hiding effect, and it kept changing its position within a small area. If it weren't for a King of Angels like Hobert, one wouldn't be able to sense its existence at all.

With one stab, the "Sword of Disorder" went straight to the hilt.

Hobert smiled slightly: "The strength is quite different."

This made Him once again certain that Adam's Divine Kingdom should have been fortified by the power from the "Chaos Sea".

But now is not the time to consider this. Hobert immediately used the hole stabbed by the "Sword of Disorder" to intensify the damage to the "Realm of Mysteries", and Zaratul reappeared in front of Hobert.

At this time, Old Man Zaratul's face was filled with some fear. He deeply regretted letting Hobert and Klein out of "Foggy Town" back then!

But now it was useless to regret. Zaratul immediately used the Angel-level "Flame Jump" to leave.

However, before he could use the "Flame Jump", the surrounding space became "chaotic", and Zaratul directly "jumped" in front of Hobert.

His eyes became blank, and his brain suddenly fell into a state of "confusion".

Hobert snapped his fingers and "distorted" the "thoughts" of every "Worm of Spirit" on Zaratul's body, making these "Worms of Spirit" yearn for freedom.

So Zaratul suddenly turned into a human figure composed of worms. Zaratul had regained his sanity, but he found that he could not control his own worms.

So, under Hobert's influence, each of these worms flattened on the ground.

Hobert raised his foot and stomped hard. Although he didn't step on those worms, they all seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and they were crushed and died at the same time.

But their "Spirit Threads" were still floating everywhere. As long as they encountered any creature or corpse, they could immediately turn it into their Marionette, so that they could exchange with the other party.

If they were given enough time, everything around them, such as wood and stone, could also become their Marionettes.

But the "Creator" once again "distorted" their state, making them truly become dead, or rather, making these worms with the level of an Archangel, including Zaratul himself, believe that they were completely dead.

At this time, Zaratul breathed a sigh of relief. Now, his situation would be better if he died, so he could use resurrection to escape.

Hobert, who was quite knowledgeable about "resurrection", would certainly not give Him this opportunity. He immediately used the ability of "Disorder" to wrap all the worms, temporarily preventing the transfer of their Beyonder characteristics.

At the same time, Zaratul's resurrection process also fell into "Disorder", interrupting his extraordinary resurrection ability.

Taking this opportunity, the "Creator" simply "tampered" with the state of the Beyonder characteristics, changing them from the "waiting for resurrection" state to the "immediate extraction" state.

So Zaratul's Beyonder characteristics were instantly extracted.

At this moment, Zaratul anxiously used his historical projection to pick up the Beyonder characteristics, but Hobert had already picked up the characteristics first.

In horror, Zaratul quickly merged into his historical projection. He wanted to immediately rush into the "Historical Void" and into his related arrangements.

But how could the "Creator" give Him such an opportunity? He immediately "tampered" with it, and the "Historical Void" opened by Zaratul moved from Utopia to the violent north of the Southern Continent.

Under Hobert's gaze, Zaratul's figure quickly faded, and finally disappeared without a trace in His unwillingness.

The "Creator" looked at the Beyonder characteristics in his hand and couldn't help but sigh: "The angels of this pathway are really hard to kill."

Putting away this Beyonder characteristic of the "Attendant of Mysteries", Hobert rubbed his chin and went to study the "Corpse Cathedral" again.

… …

Inside the Corpse Cathedral.

Klein and Adam were like old friends chatting casually. Klein said: "I didn't expect Zaratul to cooperate with you. Isn't he afraid of becoming Amon's 'food'?"

In his opinion, Zaratul's probability of completely defecting to the "Mother Tree of Desire" was even greater than this possibility.

Adam's eyes showed a bit of pity: "For Him, your becoming a Great Old One means that He will inevitably fall. But if Amon becomes a Great Old One, as long as He shows his loyalty, he can still retain his current position and level. The 'Lord of the Mysteries' always needs an 'Attendant of Mysteries'."

Klein frowned and asked: "You seem to be very familiar with the way to become a Great Old One."

Adam did not explain, but turned his body and pointed to a gray, rather vicissitudes-looking stone slab under the large cross.

Klein asked, half affirmatively and half doubtfully: "The second 'Blasphemy Slate'?"

This stone slab looked very similar to the first "Blasphemy Slate", but it didn't have that extraordinarily ancient feeling.

It also had the kind of text that seemed to be the source of all languages, writing one sequence name after another, and one potion formula after another.

Without waiting for Adam's answer, Klein's eyes were quickly scanning the stone slab, directly looking at the last few lines.

His intuition told him that there was very important information there.

Adam smiled gently: "Don't worry, Amon will have to wait until he completes the ritual and becomes Sequence 0 before he comes to steal your destiny. Otherwise, He will not be able to bear the identity of the 'Sefirah Castle' master."

Klein muttered in his heart: I thank you for the reminder!

At this time, he had already deciphered part of the content of the last few lines:

God Almighty, Creator, Maker, The Omnipotent and Omniscient, Lord of the Astral World: "Chaos Sea" + "Visionary" Uniqueness + "Sun" Uniqueness…

Lord of the Mysteries, King of Space-Time, Beacon of Destiny, Embodiment of Sefirah Castle, Dominator of the Spirit World: "Sefirah Castle" + "Fool" Uniqueness + "Error" Uniqueness…

Seeing this, Klein turned his head to look at Adam and asked rather puzzledly: "Why are you showing me these?"

In the eyes of this "Visionary", he should be a dead man, right?

Adam said gently: "Frankly speaking, if the other side wasn't Amon, I would be more willing to help you become the 'Dominator of the Spirit World'.

"We have too many similarities. In a sense, we are still old friends who have met once."

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: "We meet again, Mysteries."

Klein was slightly stunned. He had only heard this title from the "True Creator" and the Ancient Sun God in history.

And in a sense, these two can be equated. Suddenly hearing Adam say this, he immediately recalled a long-ago guess.

When he was caught by Amon and heard Amon complaining about Adam, he noticed Adam's abnormality.

Later, after escaping, Klein had many guesses about Adam, one of which was that Adam might be the Ancient Sun God's backhand for resurrection.

So at this time, Klein was not so surprised, but just calmly asked: "Are you the Ancient Sun God?"

Adam maintained a warm smile: "Don't you think that among the Eight Kings of Angels, I am the most special one?"

Klein nodded: "Among the five Kings of Angels related to 'Omniscience and Omnipotence', you are the only one with a 'Uniqueness'."

When Hobert announced the relevant information, Klein felt very strange. Later, after he learned some knowledge about the Outer Deities, he felt that this point was even stranger.

It can be said that from that time on, Klein realized that Adam was somewhat abnormal.

Adam patiently explained: "The 'Visionary' has a very special characteristic.

"A normal Sequence 0 is composed of 'Uniqueness' plus three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. Without any part, it cannot be called a True God.

"And the 'Visionary' can separate two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics after becoming Sequence 0, and replace them with corresponding characteristics 'imagined' out.

"The two separated real Sequence 1 Characteristics can be combined with a certain identity of oneself, or a certain creature 'imagined' out, to make them become 'Authors', who act freely at ordinary times, and can be transformed into their main body through certain methods or certain media when necessary.

"And for the 'Omnipotent and Omniscient', they can 'create' a 'Uniqueness' between reality and illusion to maintain their state."

Klein immediately thought: This sounds like the relationship between the "Dragon of Imagination" Ankewelt and his child, the "Dragon of Nightmare" Alzuhod!

He asked thoughtfully: "Did you awaken when you became a 'Visionary'?"

"No." Adam said in a gentle tone: "When I fell, when 'True' was born."

Klein asked in amazement: "Has no one ever suspected it?"

"Except for 'True' who definitely knows, maybe only the Evernight Goddess suspects to some extent." Adam patiently replied.

Creak~

At this time, one of the doors of the Corpse Cathedral was suddenly pushed open, and the image of the "Creator" appeared in the sight of the two people.

The "Creator" wearing a mask said: "Sorry to bother you. I knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it, so I had to push the door open myself."
