Chapter 466 Shocking Imagination
"Such a thing exists?"
This happened after Klein rescued Derrick, so he only just found out and was very surprised.
Since experiencing the battle with the true gods outside the ruins of the God War, Klein is now on edge and pays close attention to any moves of the true creator!
In his mind, the actions of the true Creator are already a weathervane that guides the trends of the times and changes the world.
Similarly, this event was not recorded in the original Lord of Mysteries, which naturally aroused Evan's interest as well.
In fact, it wasn't just the two of them; everyone present now knew that the true Creator's kingdom was established in the land abandoned by God. Who wouldn't be curious about matters involving the gods? So they all listened attentively to Derrick's story!
After receiving negative responses from everyone, Derrick continued, "That sound of pain did not have any adverse effects on us. At least the divine-level sealed artifact of Silver City did not give any corresponding feedback. In fact, it even brought us considerable benefits."
The most obvious benefit is that we all feel our potion digestion progress has improved significantly, and two of our companions have even passed the elders' test and will be able to take the potion and advance tomorrow!
Everyone present, including those from around the world, looked at each other in astonishment, unable to hide their surprise.
They were not novices in the extraordinary world; they were all elites proficient in "playing the game," and each had some corresponding support behind them. Yet, they had never heard of any shortcut to "potion playing the game"!
Only Klein found the description familiar, somewhat reminiscent of the scene when he helped Father Utravsky resolve his schizophrenia.
At that time, he killed the tyrannical priest in his spiritual world through a "viewer" sealed artifact, which also resolved the hidden danger of Father Utravsky's schizophrenia and gave him a new life.
Evan, however, thought even further, believing that splitting the shadow into another identical person was absolutely a manifestation of the corrupt authority of the "true creator."
Even when Derrick and the others killed their own shadows, they felt that their potion digestion process was much faster, which didn't surprise Evan, because this was a routine operation within the Aurora Society.
As the true God through the "mysterious prayer" path, the true Creator has two symbolic authorities: one is the "fallen" authority that is often known, and the other is the "sacrificial" authority that symbolizes God's love for the world.
The true Creator can transfer everything that is associated with suffering to the believer, exchanging His own pain for the believer's peace!
The more devout a believer's faith, the more suffering they can transfer.
Mr. A only received a recipe for "The Dark One" from Evan, which only contained the main ingredient, and was able to successfully complete the ascension. This was mainly because his faith was devout enough that he could consume demigod-level potions without the need for auxiliary ingredients or ritual protection. All the backlash was borne by the true creator.
At this moment, what shocked Evan the most in Derrick's description was that the true creator had extended this operation to the "believers."
That's right, the residents of Silver City can all be classified as unbelievers.
Evan has yet to uncover the true identity of the Creator, and has only a few guesses in his mind. But even the most extreme guess—that the ancient sun god and the true creator are the same person—cannot be equated.
In terms of mystical meaning, this is something that cannot be taken lightly, as can be seen from the fact that the true Creator has his own name.
So although Silver City has continued to worship and pray to the ancient sun god for so many years, clinging to a sliver of hope, they are by no means believers in the true creator.
The true Creator's use of the authority of sacrifice to open backdoors has a prerequisite: the person must be a believer in Him; otherwise, there is no mystical connection between the two parties.
But now the true Creator can open back doors for extraordinary individuals who are not His followers—
This event was no less terrifying than the ascension of George III and Adam to godhood!
Because if this situation were to expand, then the fifth era, which was characterized by extraordinary seclusion, might then enter the fourth era, which was known as the era of great strife.
Is this change brought about by the extraordinary characteristics of "divine abomination"? What exactly does the true creator intend to do?
Evan felt that he had underestimated the impact of the true creator obtaining the "extraordinary characteristics of the divine abomination" and being temporarily freed from the "dark side of the universe"!
"Mr. Power, what are you thinking about?"
Miss Justice, Audrey, roused Evan from his reverie.
While everyone was puzzled, they all turned their attention to the "Mr. who had provided them with the most high-level secret power" in the past, and they also noticed the seriousness in Evan's expression!
Evan looked around and found that even the world was looking at him with eager eyes. After thinking for a moment, he began to introduce the situation of the Aurora Club.
"—In other words, this is the unique authority of the true Creator, but this authority has always been applied to His followers in the past. It's still quite puzzling that this situation has also occurred with 'The Sun' and the others."
Everyone present understood the meaning behind Evan's words, and all turned their gazes back to "Derrick the Sun," suspecting that he and the people of Silver City had essentially become believers in the true Creator.
The thought that there were followers of evil gods in the Tarot Club made Audrey, Alger, Fors, Hugh, and Emlyn White feel uneasy.
This made "Sun" Derrick feel somewhat aggrieved, but he had no way to defend himself, because he now also doubted whether he had unknowingly become a believer of the "true creator," and could only look at the seemingly always smiling "Fool."
After seeing the sun's reaction, everyone remembered that Mr. Fool had once called the true creator "the Fallen Creator," and immediately turned to look at Mr. Fool, wanting to know his attitude.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fool, having personally experienced the "God War," also thought about the extraordinary characteristics of the "God's Offspring," just like Evan. He also realized the potential consequences of the significant decrease in the difficulty of digesting the potion, and felt extremely anxious.
All signs indicate that the world situation is spiraling out of control. He saw through it all, but could only go with the flow.
At this moment, Klein envied Evan. Although Evan seemed to be just a pawn in the game of gods, he was still more autonomous and more capable of doing what he wanted.
Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Klein knew they wanted answers from him. After a moment's hesitation, he decided he should offer some guidance, so he chuckled and said, "The True Creator clashed with the Dark Side of the Universe, taking away a portion of the extraordinary characteristics of the Prisoner's Path Sequence 1 Divine Abomination, drastically altering the world's situation!"
Klein's words completely stunned everyone in the Tarot Club.
"Two evil gods actually engaged in a divine war? The world averted a cataclysmic crisis without even realizing it?"
The sequence 1 of the "Prisoner" pathway is called "Divine Evil"? What a meaningful sequence name!
Is the true creator really that powerful? How could they snatch food from the jaws of another powerful evil god?
Furthermore, why does "The Fool" no longer refer to the true Creator as the Fallen Creator? What profound meaning lies behind this?
What stance does Mr. Fool take in this outbreak of divine war?
A series of questions began to churn in the minds of the Tarot Club members, and many guesses arose spontaneously. No one spoke them aloud, but their heavy breathing betrayed the turmoil in their hearts!
Finally, still under suspicion and eager to clear himself of any involvement, Derrick, the "Sun," couldn't hold back any longer and asked again, "You mean, the true Creator, through the extraordinary characteristics of so-called 'divine evil,' is able to bear the suffering of those who are not His believers?"
"This will help Him recover!"
Klein wasn't sure if that was the case either, so he could only use Evan's previous statement to give a vague answer to Derrick's question.
At least with the help of the gray fog, he did not discover any adverse effects of the true creator on Derrick!
Would it help restore His state? What state? Could it possibly stop the true Creator from going mad?
Wait, can this really be true? The true creator is about to regain his sanity? Could this evil god become the eighth true god?
The Fool's words left the Tarot Club members completely stunned.
Is this why "Mr. Fool" no longer refers to the true Creator as the Fallen Creator?
Furthermore, what is Mr. Fool's opinion on this matter? Was Mr. Fool's influence a factor in the True Creator's regaining of sanity?
The Tarot Club members believe that Mr. Fool must have been deeply involved in that secret divine war, otherwise he wouldn't know so much about it.
The members of the Tarot Club were experiencing a mix of excitement and complex emotions.
They were excited because they had the privilege of witnessing the battle between gods while they were just mortals.
The complexity stems from the uncertainty surrounding one's future and destiny.
Even a fool knows that the slightest imbalance in the balance between the gods will cause enormous changes in the world.
"Only the sun" Derrick felt exhilarated.
His previous worries about the situation of Silver City mostly stemmed from the true creator.
Not everyone can remain calm upon learning that their home is next to the kingdom of an evil god.
Silver City is indeed tragic, and the living environment is indeed very harsh, but it has survived for more than a thousand years, so there can't be a worse situation than this. It can still manage to live by making do.
The threat of an evil god is the most direct and undeniable threat to survival that no one can ignore. We cannot pretend not to see it just because we have lived in peace for over a thousand years.
Derrick's sense of urgency largely stemmed from this evil god.
But now he unexpectedly learns that this evil god is gradually regaining his senses, which makes him overjoyed.
Derrick even had a moment of treasonous thought: to guide the people of Silver City to believe in the true Creator, seek His protection, and strive to escape the land of God's forsaken as soon as possible and live under the sun again!
But Derrick immediately realized where he was and promptly stopped himself from thinking about it. He felt a surge of remorse and even glanced guiltily at Mr. Fool, who wasn't looking at him.
In any case, he had already joined the Tarot Society and become a follower of "The Fool." It was really inappropriate for him to have such thoughts; it was blasphemy against the deity he believed in.
This is the kingdom of the Fool, and He surely knows my innermost thoughts, yet He has not punished me. This further demonstrates the Fool's mercy, and I should therefore always remain steadfast in my faith and not slacken my resolve!
Just as "Sun" Derrick was inwardly repenting for his wavering faith in "The Fool," "World" Klein, oblivious to everything, said to Evan, "I've returned to Bayam and found it peaceful and serene, in an atmosphere of celebration for the demise of the Twilight Pirates. I don't sense any sign that the Church of Storms is going to make a move against 'Sea God'!"
Klein didn't want to get entangled in the matter of the true creator right now. The more people investigated such matters, the more flaws he might expose. So he chose to change the subject and divert everyone's attention.
Evan, understanding Klein's thoughts, readily agreed, saying, "But the information I received is different. I heard that the Storm Church has sent a sealing artifact from Passu Island, preparing to cooperate with Sea King 'Cottman' to strike at the heart of the enemy and completely slay the Sea God!"
"Excuse me, is the sea god you're talking about the one worshipped by the natives of Rothschild Island?"
Alger, the "Hanged Man," interrupted midway, wanting to confirm his suspicions.
He was currently at the Storm Church headquarters on Pasu Island, preparing to be questioned and rewarded by the church. According to information revealed by his connections within the church, if he could pass the test of the cardinal council, he would likely be sent to Bayam to take up an important position. Therefore, he was very concerned about the changes in his future work environment.
"That irrational idiot."
Having received an affirmative answer, Alger glanced at the "power closest to him" and the "world furthest from him," wondering why they had suddenly mentioned the "sea god."
Could it be that they're trying to take advantage of the "Sea God" and steal food from the Church of Storms?
Mr. World is a follower of Mr. Fool and his spokesperson.
Does this indicate that "The Fool" is ready to directly challenge the Church of Storms and even the God of Storms?
Because he heard so much about deities during these tarot readings, Alger's speculations inevitably drifted towards the divine.
And he is clearly not the only one with this idea.
