After hearing Hobert's words, Derrick, "The Sun," was initially a bit confused. How did "The Omnipotent and Omniscient Lord" steal Omebella's fate?
But then he thought for a moment and understood: The Blasphemer Amon was the child of the Ancient Sun God. It is said that Amon was born with the Uniqueness of the "Error" pathway. As everyone guessed in a previous transaction, that should be the Ancient Sun God expelling Beyonder characteristics to stabilize his state by having children.
Other members also understood the meaning of "The Emperor" after a moment of consideration.
Immediately afterward, they suddenly had a very clear understanding of the difference in level between Uniqueness and Angels.
In front of the holder of Uniqueness, even an Angel's fate could be stolen! And even Omebella's relatives didn't notice!
After that, without Hobert's explanation, everyone could understand that Lilith, after obtaining Omebella's fate, existed in this world as the Giant Queen. Later, she even became the Earth Mother, and only actively exposed herself during the War of the Gods in the Fifth Epoch, which is now!
Of course, this must be because the Evernight Goddess helped to keep it secret using the power of "Concealment," so no one noticed this.
Thinking of this, Alger, "The Hanged Man," had a slightly solidified gaze: A conspiracy lasting two to three thousand years!
He instinctively shrank his body, feeling a fear of the Evernight Goddess and the Earth Mother that originated from his soul.
Others had similar feelings. Leonard, "The Star," said belatedly: "No wonder the Church of the Evernight Goddess stopped promoting the title 'Lady of Crimson' a few days ago and changed the prayer gesture of drawing the red moon to dotting stars!"
Cattleya, "The Hermit," speculated: "Did the 'Evernight Goddess' make a deal using the authority of the 'Moon' domain?"
But Klein thought of the truth. He manipulated "The World" and said: "The Uniqueness of the 'Moon' pathway, or a Sequence 1 characteristic, is with the Evernight Goddess!"
Several previous transactions had mentioned the whereabouts of the "Moon" pathway's Uniqueness. Every time it was mentioned, Hobert would change the subject.
Klein had long suspected, based on the Goddess's honorific name, whether the Uniqueness of the "Moon" pathway was with the Evernight Goddess.
Regarding "The World's" guess, everyone looked at "The Emperor" for confirmation.
Hobert didn't explain anything, just smiled and nodded.
Everyone immediately understood that "The World" was right.
Leonard, "The Star," asked curiously: "When did the Goddess obtain the authority of the 'Moon' pathway?"
Cattleya speculated again: "Maybe it was during the War of the Gods in the Second Epoch!"
Everyone sighed again: Could it be that they were already planning this War of the Gods in the Second Epoch?
That would be too terrifying!
Other members were more willing to believe that this was just a coincidence!
But thinking of coincidence, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, because it made them think of Adam again. If it really was a "coincidence," that would still be very terrifying.
Immediately afterward, everyone thought that the Evernight Goddess and the Earth Mother were both Gods, so they should have nothing to do with Adam.
Fors, "The Magician," said: "No matter what, the authority of the 'Moon' domain has returned to the Sanguine Ancestor."
More than a month ago, Audrey… no, the Sanguine Ancestor had visited Longtail Island. At that time, Fors would never have imagined that the person she warmly entertained was actually the Sanguine Ancestor!
After hearing Miss Magician's words, the other members couldn't help but look at Mr. Moon, hoping to get evidence of the authority's return from him.
But at this time, Mr. Moon still seemed to be in shock, and his expression was still a little erratic.
Among the Tarot Club members, the most shocked member after hearing those messages was Emlyn, "The Moon." At this time, his mind was still filled with: The Earth Mother is the Ancestor, and the Ancestor is the Earth Mother…
This made him take a deep breath: So, I have never changed my faith. No wonder I still like to go to the Harvest Church without the priest doing corresponding psychological hints. That's because my intuition tells me that the Earth Mother is the Ancestor!
One idea after another flashed through Emlyn's mind: So, the Ancestor favored me and made me the savior of the Sanguine!
Thinking about it, he began to believe that he was the most devout Sanguine.
Seeing that this Sanguine seemed to be coming out of shock, Fors smiled and said: "Mr. Moon, wait a little longer, and maybe you will be the Archbishop of the Earth Mother Church, no, it should be the Plenipotentiary Representative of the Earth Church stationed in the Sanguine."
Emlyn finally reacted: "Why?"
He thought that the Ancestor would keep the Sanguine in their previous state and not directly merge with the Earth Church.
Leonard smiled and said: "Since the Evernight Goddess no longer has the title of 'Lady of Crimson,' the Earth Mother will soon have a similar honorific name, which cannot be hidden from other churches."
Hobert thought to himself: That's not necessarily true.
According to the plan of the Earth Mother Lilith, they plan to let Lilith's personality become a god first, and use the influence of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" on Lilith to try to find the "Brood Hive" first.
However, he didn't intend to explain it at this time.
After hearing Mr. Star's words, Emlyn suddenly thought of such a scene: The clansmen who had previously mocked him for believing in the Earth Mother will line up and walk up to him to receive his baptism.
Thinking of this, Emlyn's mood became extremely pleasant, and he couldn't help but raise his chin slightly.
At this time, Klein manipulated "The World" and said: "I suddenly thought of a question, why did 'Goddess of Harvest' Omebella die in City of Silver? Instead of dying in the Giant King's Court, or somewhere else?"
The other members were stunned at first, but soon they also realized that this was indeed a bit strange. In theory, the Beyonder characteristics of the "Goddess of Harvest" should have been taken away by the Ancient Sun God, or in a certain place in the Giant King's Court.
Why would it be in City of Silver?
Derrick guessed: "Maybe it's because what City of Silver believed in before was the Giant Queen."
He explained: "I just learned that before believing in 'The Omnipotent and Omniscient Lord,' what City of Silver believed in was not the 'Giant King,' but the 'Giant Queen.'"
So that's how it is!
The members of the Tarot Club felt that it made sense.
"The World" nodded slightly, accepted this answer, and then looked at Hobert for confirmation.
Hobert smiled and said: "There is indeed a secret here. Of course, that's just my guess, and it should be different from the facts, but it should be something like that."
Anyway, the God of Combat has already fallen, and there is nothing to announce that information.
It had been a while since everyone had heard "The Emperor's" guess, and for a moment, everyone was very interested in the secret that Mr. Emperor said.
"And we have actually briefly mentioned this secret before," Hobert said: "We all know that after the Ancient Sun God woke up, he successively defeated the Ancient Gods except for the 'Devil Monarch' Farbauti."
"But based on the Ancient Sun God's later performance, he did not recover the authority of every Ancient God."
"At least he never showed the relevant authority of the 'Giant King' and the 'Phoenix Ancestor,' but the characteristics of the 'Phoenix Ancestor' should have been taken away by the Ancient Sun God."
"Later, he bestowed those characteristics to Abraham, who is also the 'Mr. Door' we know well, and the 'God of the Dead,' who is also the 'Underworld Emperor' of the Fourth Epoch."
"But the authority of the 'Giant King' was obtained by this Ancient God's child, who was also the 'God of Dawn' at the time, and later the 'God of Combat' Badheil. This 'inheritance' is relatively special."
Of course, everyone remembered the information that "The Emperor" had mentioned before. At that time, they also guessed whether there was some dark history behind the origin of the "God of Combat."
Now it seems that there is indeed some dark history here!
At this time, the other members vaguely guessed something, but they didn't dare to think about it too much.
Hobert continued: "Before explaining this problem clearly, we must first understand another problem."
"As far as I know, the person whose fate is stolen will enter a state similar to 'Concealment.' Everyone will not be able to detect his existence, and what he says and does will not have any impact on the real world."
"Because there is no fate, he will break all connections with the real world, and the whole world will reject him, and eventually die in loneliness."
Everyone was slightly stunned and had a new understanding of Amon's abilities.
Audrey sighed: "Although it's not the first time I've heard this kind of information, every time I hear it, it makes people feel a chill down their spines."
The other members nodded in agreement.
At the same time, they also realized that "The Emperor" was explaining this point in order to make everyone understand Omebella's state.
Hobert waited for everyone to finish sighing before saying: "I don't know if the 'Giant King' can sense the existence of a fateless Omebella."
"However, if he was injured in the battle with the Ancient Sun God and his condition was not very good, it should be difficult for him to realize that his queen is already another person."
"At the same time, when Badheil returned to the Giant King's Court while the 'Giant King' was in a very bad condition after the war with the Ancient Sun God, he killed the 'Giant King' and obtained the Beyonder characteristics of this Ancient God!"
Everyone had already received too many surprises today, but this news still surprised everyone!
Especially Derrick, who always felt that the honor of the "Warrior" had been ruined by Badheil.
But everyone was mentally prepared. They were surprised, but they didn't seem surprised by this.
Alger was still saying in his heart: I said, every god has some dark history!
Hobert continued amidst everyone's surprise: "I don't know if the already swapped Giant Queen helped at that time? But what can be basically determined is that the main person who took action was Badheil!"
Omebella, in a state devoid of destiny, witnessed all of this, but there was nothing She could do.
In the end, She watched Her son replace His father as the 'God of Combat,' watched Her son recognize another person as His mother.
Under such intense blows, She wandered to the City of Silver, where Her believers resided, and amidst resentment and curses, She fell in the City of Silver, forming a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact!
Amidst a series of shocks, Derrick was the first to react: "So… so those of us who consumed Black-faced Grass must kill our own relatives with our own hands, or else our relatives will turn into evil spirits!
It turns out… this, this is the curse from the Giant Queen!"
Hobert nodded and said, "That's right."
The other members sighed inwardly: What a tragic deity.
Emlyn originally wanted to say "Serves Her right," for betraying our Ancestor.
But he also felt that this deity's ending was indeed too tragic, so he refrained from adding harsh words.
Klein, behind the gray fog, thought to himself: The Tarot Club doesn't have much other information, but the dark history of deities often appears. The Evernight Goddess once betrayed Her God, the 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf,' and the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom have also done the same thing.
Today, I learned two more pieces of dark history. Lilith replaced the Giant Queen's destiny and later became the Earth Mother.
The God of Combat became a deity by killing His father.
Currently, it is only unclear whether the God of Steam and Machinery has any dark history.
Finally, Hobert said, "Still, the process of the God of Combat becoming a god is just a guess, but it should be roughly like this."
The other members all believed that what "Emperor" said should be closer to the truth, with only some details possibly differing.
With this topic concluded, the Tarot Club was silent for twenty or thirty seconds before Alger cleared his throat and said to Hobert: "I have already investigated the background of those Beyonders wearing classical attire who appeared in Caesar Harbor before."
That was during a Tarot Club meeting when the war was relatively intense. Alger announced that a group of mysterious Beyonders had suddenly appeared in Caesar Harbor and launched attacks on the Beyonders of Loen.
Hobert nodded: "What reward do you want?"
"Hmm… the information you just announced can offset ten rewards," Alger said with a smile.
Hobert didn't continue to be polite: "Alright then."
Alger continued: "According to my extensive investigation, it has been finally determined that those Beyonders are members of the Trunsoest family!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at "Emperor" together!
They remembered that "Emperor" was a member of the Trunsoest family! Moreover, it seemed that many of "The Creator's" subordinates were also members of this family!
Hobert only said faintly: "Thank you, I understand."
He thought to himself: This group of Trunsoest members must be the batch that came out of the Holy Land of Xidro. Currently, they should be serving Trunsoest.
Thinking of this, Hobert realized that Trunsoest must have taken the opportunity to obtain many benefits during the previous war.
He decided to have Xio investigate in this direction to see if they could find out what specific benefits the Trunsoest family had obtained during the previous battle.
Seeing that "Emperor" didn't continue to discuss this topic, everyone automatically moved on to the next topic.
Alger said again in a deep voice: "The vast majority of our members are already demigods, and the advancement cycle has become very long, and we have our own forces.
The demand for Beyonder characteristics, potion formulas, and Sealed Artifacts may only occur once every few years, and the focus of the gathering may have to shift to information exchange and secret cooperation."
Audrey, Cattleya, Leonard, and others nodded in agreement with Mr. Hanged Man's words.
Immediately afterward, "The World" initiated another topic: "Everyone, I need to remind you of something."
When the Tarot Club members all looked over, Klein manipulated "The World" to say: "The apocalypse will descend in just over a decade, and everyone may be destroyed, including the gods."
He had recently obtained information about the approximate time of the apocalypse, and He felt it was necessary to remind the other members.
This was the second time the other members had heard information about the apocalypse at the Tarot Club. Mr. Fool had said before that the so-called apocalypse was the destruction of the barrier formed by the 'Original Creator,' and the invasion of Outer Deities.
But at the time, everyone didn't take it too seriously, always feeling that the apocalypse was still far away from them.
But "The World" mentioned the apocalypse again, and also gave an approximate time!
In other words, the arrival of the apocalypse had no room for slowing down and was not far from now.
After hearing this news, Audrey still felt a sense of confusion: The apocalypse is coming in just over a decade, what can I do?
Alger's first reaction was that Gehrman Sparrow was disrespectful to Mr. Fool, because Mr. Fool was also a god.
But he quickly rejected this idea. After all, "The World" was Mr. Fool's blessed, the most devout believer. The other members of the Tarot Club might accidentally blaspheme Mr. Fool in their words, but "The World" Gehrman Sparrow would never!
Based on this, Alger quickly came to another conclusion: This must be a reminder under Mr. Fool's instruction, so that we can make some preparations for the apocalypse in advance. But, even the gods will be destroyed, what can we do?
Cattleya was equally confused about the future. Besides improving herself, she didn't know which direction to work towards.
Fors decided that she would no longer delay and would prepare to advance to a demigod after the gathering! As the apocalypse approached, it seemed that only becoming an angel could see a glimmer of hope.
Derrick first felt an uncontrollable sense of frustration, because City of Silver had just left the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and had come to the world of light, but as a result, it would soon have to face a new apocalypse.
But soon, he adjusted his mentality and chose to believe in Mr. Fool.
Since this great existence could save City of Silver from the Land of the Gods, then He could also prevent the arrival of the apocalypse.
Emlyn couldn't help but frown: Although I am the savior of the Sanguine during the apocalypse, I didn't expect the apocalypse to descend so quickly. I'm just an Earl!
He suddenly had the feeling of a student who had only attended a few days of class and suddenly had to face an exam.
Of course, this also made him a little excited, after all, he would soon fulfill his mission and show his greatness in front of his clan.
Hobert realized that he should consider the plan to become a Great Old One. Only by becoming a Great Old One could he directly face the upcoming apocalypse!
Leonard had heard the apocalypse prophecy from Old Man Pallez Zoroast, but he didn't know why there would be such a development, so he asked: "Why is the apocalypse suddenly coming? There's no sign of it now."
After the trip to the South Pole, Hobert probably understood why the apocalypse would appear.
The apocalypse was bound to appear!
This seemed to be the means by which the "Original Creator" was gathering Sephirot and Beyonder characteristics.
Klein manipulated "The World" to respond to Leonard: "It's just that you haven't discovered the signs.
Do you think the War of the Gods that just ended broke out for no reason?"
Seeing that the surrounding members of the Tarot Club were shocked by these words and fell into thought, "The World" added: "You are not qualified to know the specific reasons for the time being. Just understanding them will bring irresistible corruption. Only existences above the level of angels may be able to contend with it."
Audrey was the first to realize: Mr. World seems to already know the truth. He's not afraid of being corrupted? Could it be that he… he's already an angel? Is He?
She took a deep breath: This is the second angel among the Tarot Club members!
Immediately afterward, Alger and Cattleya had similar interpretations, knowing that "The World" Gehrman Sparrow had already become an angel walking on the earth.
In ancient times, this was a god from God, a member of the gods.
"The World" looked around and said: "You can all think carefully about what you plan to do next and how you plan to prepare."
The other members nodded slightly, indicating that they understood, but at the same time felt a little confused.
"Mr. World has given me a reminder that everyone should improve themselves as soon as possible." Hobert said to Emlyn: "I have clues about the 'High Summoner' and 'Life Giver' Beyonder characteristics here. Are you interested in this?"
The clue He was talking about was the "0-70" Creation Ring. Currently, Hobert basically doesn't need this Sealed Artifact anymore, so it's better to shatter it and cultivate a "Life Giver."
"Of course I'm interested!" Emlyn said immediately.
Then he thought to himself: As expected, I am the person chosen by the Ancestor. I was just worried about the apocalypse, and I immediately had the opportunity to become an angel.
Emlyn saw the other members casting envious glances at him, praised the "Son of the Goddess" in his heart before asking: "What kind of price do I have to pay?"
Hobert pondered for a moment before saying: "I will recommend you to Mother to become the person in charge of the Loen Diocese. In the future, I need you to provide some information, protect the interests of the Southern Balam Duchy, and so on."
Everyone was stunned. Aren't Loen and Southern Balam allies?
Judging from what "Emperor" said, it seems that the relationship with Loen in the future is not very optimistic?
Audrey and Fors had already realized that Hobert was planning for the worst.
They knew very well that the Southern Balam Duchy was an oddity in today's world. They didn't feel anything when they were at war before, but now that the war is over, some contradictions that everyone knows but were covered up by the war will gradually be exposed.
Emlyn said as if he had heard some order: "I, I will try my best to do well."
Hobert nodded and then said to Leonard, "Do you have any thoughts about jumping to an adjacent pathway?"
Leonard was about to say "No" when Hobert preemptively said, "I have a clue here about the 'Death' pathway charcteristic."
He was talking about "0-73" in the Death domain. After becoming Sequence 1, the Sealed Artifact corresponding to Sequence 2 wouldn't be of much use anymore.
Everyone was a little surprised. This was already the second clue about an angel-level characteristic.
If everyone knew that Hobert had already obtained these characteristics, even Mr. Fool would probably lament: How is the difference between angels so great?
Leonard was slightly stunned before saying, "I'll consider it."
Hobert nodded, ending this round of trading.
The giant hall was silent for a full half minute. Everyone realized that the transactions initiated by "Emperor" just now had left them with no desire to continue communicating.
How much they wished "Emperor" would also ask them if they were interested in angel-level characteristics!
Unfortunately, the Emperor did not.
Seeing that everyone was no longer communicating, Klein announced the end of this Tarot Gathering in a timely manner.
