In the dim hall, everything that happened beside the throne stunned all the angels who were fighting.
Tamara instantly understood Hobert's intention and immediately left the hall.
William I only noticed the very special crown on Hobert's head at this moment: "You… you, why you…"
Hobert coldly interrupted him: "To be honest, I've put up with you for a long time."
The two angels of the Loen Kingdom were the first to react and stepped forward to rescue him. Hobert released the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" and the "Holy Infant King" that he had prepared long ago to temporarily block the two angels.
At this time, the other angels came back to their senses and continued to be wary of their opponents, but their shock quickly turned into confusion.
Clearly, the Loen Kingdom and Southern Balam were allies on the surface, and Hobert also needed William I to contain Trunsoest.
But why did Hobert attack William I?
Hobert drew the "Sword of Disorder" and watched William I fall helplessly to the ground.
This archangel, who had lived for thousands of years, was somewhat unwilling. He looked up and asked Hobert, "Why? You have no reason to kill me at this time!"
Hobert smiled and said, "I think you definitely didn't see the Outer Deities part of the second 'Blasphemy Slate' back then!"
William I was slightly stunned. He had indeed not seen the Outer Deities part, but as the "Hand of Order" for so long, he had a vague concept.
It was just that he believed he would be safe as long as he didn't touch the Uniqueness of the "Justiciar" pathway.
The key was that William I had already learned that the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" pathway and the two Sequence 1 characteristics had been obtained by the "Creator", but in this situation, Hobert, as a Chosen of the "Creator", could still advance to Sequence 1, which meant that the "Creator" allowed Sequence 1 to exist under him.
This led to a serious misjudgment by William I. He always believed he was safe, so he dared to cooperate with Hobert for a while and support Trunsoest for another.
And the "Creator" regarded Trunsoest as an enemy because Trunsoest had the idea and means to seize the Uniqueness of the "Justiciar" pathway.
But Hobert's words made him realize instantly that cooperating with Hobert was as dangerous as cooperating with Trunsoest.
Hobert shrugged and added: "The Beyonder characteristics in your body can only be placed with me for me to be completely at ease!
"Rest in peace, 'Protector' of the Loen Kingdom."
This made William I even more unwilling, but his body had already begun to dissipate.
Even an archangel had no chance of survival after being stabbed by the "Sword of Disorder."
Then, Hobert said to Duke Dlink of Southville and Prince Grove of Sonia: "You shouldn't have pushed Trunsoest to the Southern Continent to fight against me. This is betrayal of an ally!"
Trunsoest, who had returned from a state of "Disorder" to order, sneered: "Your reason is ridiculous!"
He was now very regretful that his hard work had actually paved the way for Hobert.
Then, Trunsoest divided him and William I into a space, and with a wave towards William I, the Beyonder characteristics of the "Hand of Order" were extracted from William I's body and floated towards Trunsoest.
Hobert smiled slightly, used the power of the "Nation of Disorder" to form a layer of "Wall of Order", "squeezing" Trunsoest's division and encompassing himself, William I, and the Beyonder characteristics within it.
Trunsoest sighed: "Let's go."
After speaking, he left first.
The "Pale Empress" and others were invited helpers, and of course, they also left immediately.
Hobert picked up the Beyonder characteristics and said to the two angels of the Loen Kingdom: "In view of your repeated assistance to the enemies of Southern Balam, I now announce that Southern Balam is severing its alliance with the Loen Kingdom!"
He shook his head: "Loen's 'shit-stirring' behavior is too disappointing. A world pattern with only interests and no moral bottom line should also come to an end!"
After speaking, Hobert lifted the "Wall of Order" and disappeared from beside the throne.
Beverly and the other angels also retreated in an orderly manner, and finally, the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" and the "Holy Infant King" were recovered.
Dlink and Grove saw that William I's body had been completely "dismembered", and deep anxiety appeared in their eyes.
…
In the ancient castle where Hobert and the others had fought before, Amon was still sitting on a windowsill, pinching his monocle and smiling: "Interesting."
He had just watched the backstab through his monocle.
Then, Amon released the hand pinching the monocle, took a deep breath, and said: "We can't continue to sit idly by and let the situation develop like this."
Otherwise, it would become more and more unfavorable to him.
…
At this time, at the United Nations meeting in Backlund, the legitimacy of the Paz Kingdom was still being debated.
Benson looked at his pocket watch and, seeing that the time was almost up, suddenly stood up and said: "I have an important statement to make!"
The rotating chairman for this month was the representative of the Loen Kingdom. He said: "Please wait a moment, it is not your turn to speak yet."
Generally, in such multilateral meetings, the speeches have a fixed order.
"I'll just say a few words." Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Benson said loudly: "I represent the government of the Duchy of Southern Balam to announce two things.
"First, given the isolation of Southern Balam by the member states of the United Nations, and the malicious creation of opposition and enemies for Southern Balam, I announce that, starting today, the Duchy of Southern Balam is officially withdrawing from the United Nations."
Many diplomats thought they had misheard! The United Nations was established at the suggestion of Grand Duke Hobert!
At that time, Hobert only made such a proposal to divert everyone's attention. Later, the more Hobert thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good thing to have a United Nations. The politicians of the Northern Continent finally had a place to argue internationally, which would greatly reduce their efficiency.
Benson added: "Second, the Duchy of Southern Balam is officially independent and no longer recognizes its affiliation with Loen! The name of the independent country will be announced this afternoon."
At this time, someone finally asked loudly: "Mr. Benson, are you kidding me?"
"Mr. Benson, we can still talk about the issue of the Paz Kingdom!"
Benson did not respond to them, but said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this organization, which is supposed to maintain world order and bring peace to the world, is destroying order and bringing chaos to the world!"
After speaking, Benson turned and left, and the staff of the Duchy of Southern Balam closely followed.
The other staff members of the United Nations still found it incredible, and the entire large conference room fell into chaos and arguing.
…
That afternoon, the office of Southern Balam in Backlund officially announced to the public: the Duchy of Southern Balam was renamed the Kingdom of Atlantis.
Hobert had also struggled with the name of the new country. His first thought was to come up with a Chinese-style pronunciation name.
But in this extraordinary world, a country with a Chinese-style pronunciation seemed out of place.
Then, Hobert thought of some ready-made country names, such as America or Ottoman, but he felt that what he was doing had nothing to do with these countries.
Later, he even thought of some countries from the "history" of the Southern Continent, such as the Mayan Kingdom and the Inca Empire, but the endings of these two regimes were not very good, and he also rejected them.
Finally, he recalled the mysterious Atlantis. It sounded pretty good, so he decided to use the name "Atlantis".
So in the end, it was decided to call it the Kingdom of Atlantis.
On May 16th, Hobert officially held a coronation ceremony for himself.
He knew that Trunsoest would definitely come to disrupt the coronation ceremony, so he had been doing preparatory work for the previous few days.
For example, witnessing Lilith's advancement to "Beauty Goddess" and Sharron's advancement to "Ancient Bane."
Only when the strength allows, the duchy can smoothly become a kingdom.
On the morning of the coronation day, Hobert, Audrey, and Fors, dressed in gowns, boarded a luxurious electric tram specially Renovation for them. Escorted by a fleet of trams, they slowly departed from Angel City's most important and widest road and headed to the Church of the Earth Mother in the suburbs.
Who would crown Hobert was also something that had been discussed in the past few days.
The Church of the Earth Mother, the Church of the Evernight Goddess, and the Church of the Fool all hoped to crown Hobert.
This made Hobert a little embarrassed, and finally gave a reason that everyone could accept: I am a child of the Earth Mother, of course, the Church of the Earth Mother should crown me.
However, in order to show the importance of religion, Hobert also invited Ms. Arianna and the "Favored" Klein to attend the coronation ceremony, and Arianna crowned Audrey, and Klein crowned Fors.
It was just that the coronation ceremony was held at the Church of the Earth Mother in the suburbs of Angel City.
The roadsides from the palace to the church were already crowded with people, and Hobert and the two Queens waved to them.
This was not even the official parade, and the scene was already very enthusiastic. It is said that some people had been queuing here since last night in order to find a good location.
The windows on the second floor and above of the buildings on both sides of the road were also already crowded with people.
It is said that a location here has been saute to tens of thousands of yuan.
The motorcade passed by here unhurriedly, but the cheers of the people did not stop.
The people's current lives have all been given by the person in the car, and he's not even the king yet? That makes no sense!
Hobert's sudden coronation not only didn't surprise everyone, but also deeply encouraged them. People are willing to accept the rule of this king!
At a little after nine o'clock, Hobert and his entourage arrived in front of the Earth Mother Church.
This place was already packed with people. Hobert and the other two got out of the car and merely stood on the steps to wave at the crowd, which triggered waves of cheers.
Entering the church, the key members of the kingdom's government and religious figures were already in place.
In the center of the altar at the innermost part of the chapel, the pastor's pulpit had been replaced with three magnificent chairs, with the Holy Emblem of Life directly above them.
As Hobert and the others slowly approached the chairs, the people in the chapel stood up one after another and paid their respects.
Arriving in front of the thrones, the three of them faced everyone, and music with a strong religious color began to play, followed by a group of children singing hymns praising the monarch.
Standing on the altar, Hobert felt a sense of emotion, recalling when his career had just begun, when he had gone to South Colson alone and had his first base.
Since then, he had been constantly building and fighting, and now he already possessed a third of the Southern Continent's territory.
Then Hobert looked at the people who had come to watch the ceremony. From Seel to Conrad, Philip, and Dennis, all of them had been promoted by Hobert himself. Looking at them one by one, Hobert finally saw Derrick, the archbishop of the Church of the Fool who had also come to participate in the ceremony, and "Blessed" Gehrman Sparrow.
They had suddenly changed into gorgeous religious robes, and Hobert was still a little unaccustomed to it, especially Derrick. His height of more than two meters made him stand out, and it seemed that Klein's clothes used a lot of fabric.
Of course, some nobles from the Loen Kingdom and the Feynapotter Kingdom also came to watch the ceremony, especially the nobles from the Loen Kingdom. They did not expect that Audrey would become the queen in this way.
The Feysac Empire, the Intis Republic, and the Lenburg and other countries also sent high-level delegations to observe the ceremony.
The hymn performance lasted until ten o'clock. Roland, the Pope of the Earth Mother Church, wearing a green, luxurious but not extravagant wide-sleeved robe and an oval crown, with a smile full of love, ascended the altar.
Audrey and Fors stepped aside, and Hobert took a few steps back and sat on the throne.
Spectator immediately fell silent. Pope Roland stood in front of Hobert and solemnly asked: "Are you willing to solemnly promise and swear to rule the people of Southern Balam, Longtail Island, and Southern Colson, and their territories, to manage their land, and to respect them and treat them well in your rule?"
Hobert said: "I am willing to solemnly promise."
Pope Roland: "Are you willing to have a compassionate heart, do your best to make the people happy and prosperous, and the country strong?"
Hobert: "I am willing."
Pope Roland: "Are you willing to do your best to maintain the laws of the country and become the backing of justice for the people? Are you willing to do your best to maintain the rights and interests of the Earth Mother Church, the Church of the Evernight Goddess, the Church of the Fool, the Church of the Lord of Storms, and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom in the Atlantis Kingdom?"
This was the most controversial point of the coronation ceremony for Hobert, but he still needed the power of the church to fight against the Northern Continent, so he had no choice but to continue: "I promise to abide by all the above requirements."
Pope Roland turned to everyone and announced: "Hobert Jeffrey is the undisputed king!"
The people who came to watch the ceremony stood up and shouted: "Long live the king! Long live the king!"
The people outside the church heard the cheers inside and also shouted outside: "Long live the king! Long live the king!"
After several minutes of cheering, two bishops presented the crown and scepter.
The crown was very gorgeous, inlaid with a huge black gem, which was actually the Uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" after a certain seal.
The scepter was intertwined with golden and orange colors, giving people a sense of weight.
Sharron in the audience recognized that Hobert had held this scepter in his hand when he solved the lake that would age all living things.
This is the "Twilight Scepter" after a certain seal!
Pope Roland first granted Hobert the scepter and solemnly said: "The merciful Mother Goddess grants you supreme power!"
Hobert took the scepter: "Praise the Mother Goddess."
Then Roland placed the crown on Hobert's head, and all the religious personnel stepped aside to show the king to the people.
The gorgeous dress, coupled with the dazzling crown, and the scepter in hand, Hobert's entire temperament changed, becoming dignified and solemn.
The more majestic the king is, the more stable his rule is.
People cheered again! They felt that at this moment, no matter what orders Hobert gave, they would carry them out without hesitation!
At this point, the coronation ceremony for the king ended.
The choir sang hymns praising the king again, and people bowed or saluted to the king to express their respect.
After this round of hymns ended, the coronation of Audrey and Fors began simultaneously on either side of Hobert.
The two Queens looked serious and treated it seriously, for fear of saying something wrong.
With the end of their coronation, the hymns began again.
Audrey smiled at everyone. She had never had much desire for power, but suddenly she felt that being a queen was also quite good.
Fors was somewhat distracted. She was reviewing her past life. Before she met Hobert… no, before this year, she had never thought that she would become a queen!
After the poems praising the queen's virtues were finished, the simple and grand coronation ceremony ended.
Hobert got up, holding the scepter and slowly walked out of the church to receive the cheers of the people outside with the two queens.
Then they took the tram again and slowly returned to the palace under the escort of the guards.
This was the king's parade. It would not only pass through Founding Road, but also detour to other wide roads in Angel City, as if to announce to everyone that a new king and queen had been born!
It was not until after three o'clock in the afternoon that the three of them returned to the palace by car and received congratulations from the officials in the main hall. This coronation ceremony finally came to an end.
But for Hobert, this "coronation" had just begun.
They had just entered the bedroom at the back, preparing to sit down and rest for a while, when Elliott and Helen suddenly appeared in front of the three of them using sealed items.
While taking off his heavy dress, Hobert said to the two queens: "Beverly and Raymond will send you to a safe place later. You don't have to worry about me. I know the details of the enemies who are visiting today very well."
Before, at the Church of the Earth Mother, Trunsoest did not dare to take any action.
If He dared to attack Hobert in the church, the Earth Mother might even directly descend through the Holy Emblem of Life.
Trunsoest would not have acted during the parade just now, as it was still under the protection of the gods.
Only after the ceremony was over and Hobert returned to the palace would they come to attack.
And they would definitely come, because Hobert was going to use the effects of killing William I, the independence of the Southern Balam Duchy, and the coronation to try to accommodate the Uniqueness!
Before, when Trunsoest saw Hobert killing William I, he realized this, so he was so frustrated that he had planned for so long, but he had helped Hobert a lot.
Tamara also guessed this, and She was even afraid that Hobert would immediately try to accommodate the Uniqueness after killing William I, so She immediately slipped away.
But for Hobert, the opportunity to accommodate the Uniqueness still had to be more stable, and it should be carried out at the climax of his disrupting the entire world situation.
In the past few days, the incident of Hobert killing William I had caused a great uproar in the extraordinary world. First of all, the orthodox churches did not express condemnation, which meant that the orthodox churches did not intend to participate in the struggle between these two secular countries.
Or rather, the orthodox churches, especially the Church of the Lord of Storms and the Church of the Evernight Goddess, believed that it was not necessary to offend the Atlantis Kingdom for William I.
The high-level officials of the Loen Kingdom only dared to scold the Atlantis Kingdom for betrayal, and did not dare to say a word about the orthodox churches' non-interference.
In fact, at this time, non-interference was helping the Atlantis Kingdom.
Among the countries of the Northern Continent, the happiest was of course the Feynapotter Kingdom!
Since Philip I lost the Beyonder characteristics of the "Hand of Order", the Castiya family only had one "Balancer" left. When they encountered things that required Beyonder strength to support them, they did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of Loen.
Now it was better. Although the Augustus family still had two "Balancers", for the Castiya family, there was no longer the pressure from the "Hand of Order".
The Intis Republic also breathed a sigh of relief. All along, they had no normal Sequence 1, so in terms of national strength, they were second only to Loen, the second strongest country in the Northern Continent.
But every time they needed to talk with Beyonder strength, they had to be polite to the Feysac Empire.
The Feysac Empire was also very happy. Currently, only their royal family still had a normal Sequence 1.
Originally, the countries of the Northern Continent, with the exception of the Feynapotter Kingdom, were planning to unite against the Atlantis Kingdom.
In their view, the new policies of the Atlantis Kingdom were too dangerous and had to be contained in the Southern Continent.
They were very clear that their own policies were too crude compared to those of the Atlantis Kingdom and lacked competitiveness.
If the Atlantis Kingdom were allowed to continue to grow stronger, they themselves might collapse.
After the death of William I, some rifts suddenly appeared in this alliance. The power of Loen became two extremes: on the one hand, they were very angry and couldn't wait to declare war on the Atlantis Kingdom right now!
On the other hand, they knew that their own strength was not enough, so many people did not agree with retaliating against the Atlantis Kingdom.
Intis and Feysac were different, especially Feysac, who was unwilling to continue paying their war reparations.
Intis, on the other hand, believed that they should preside over the strategic encirclement and suppression of the Duchy of Southern Balam.
This was the impact of William I's death, which mainly affected the high-level officials of various countries. After all, the general public rarely knew what the extraordinary pattern of this world was like.
The independence of the Duchy of Southern Balam, its renaming as the Atlantis Kingdom, and its withdrawal from the League of Nations made the public once again very anxious about the international situation.
Originally, the war between the Atlantis Kingdom and the Balam Empire had made the people of the Northern Continent somewhat worried, but fortunately, that was a war that took place in the Southern Continent, and their mentality of watching the excitement outweighed their worries.
However, the Atlantis Kingdom's series of operations made them see Hobert's hostility towards the Northern Continent.
You should know that people can no longer live without the "Earl's Light" products. Easy-to-use and practical electric lights and gas stoves have become a symbol of fashion in many large cities, and it can be said that they have launched a lighting revolution and a kitchen revolution.
Traditional lighting and kitchen supplies have no resistance at all, and even with discounts and promotions, few people are willing to use them.
After the war, "Earl's Light" launched electric vehicles, plastic products, and other products, frantically reaping the wealth of the Northern Continent's people.
After the public became dependent on these products, they were afraid that a war would suddenly break out, and then they might not even have the tools for lighting and cooking.
Therefore, although the countries were targeting the Atlantis Kingdom, they were not targeting "Earl's Light."
First, they were afraid that the angels of the Atlantis Kingdom would once again visit their parliament building; second, they were afraid of public opposition, so they could only watch "Earl's Light" earn a lot of wealth.
The key is that after the "baptism" of the previous war, the "Earl's Light" products are currently tax-free throughout the Northern Continent!
The countries can only use the method of restricting foreign exchange to avoid a large outflow of wealth. The money earned by "Earl's Light" can only be spent in their own country.
However, the Atlantis Kingdom still obtained a large amount of wealth from the Northern Continent in the form of gold and materials.
The Ministry of Finance has calculated that if this trend continues, it will only take six to eight years for nearly half of the domestic population to reach the living standards of the middle class in the Loen Kingdom.
Currently, the sudden independence of the Atlantis Kingdom and its withdrawal from the League of Nations seem to have suddenly made the situation tense, and the people of the Northern Continent have also become nervous.
This sense of tension was too familiar to them. Two or three years ago, the relationship between the countries of the Northern Continent was tense like this at first, and then it became more and more tense, and a war broke out in a daze.
Especially since the countries of the Northern Continent are expanding their armies, and the production of military products has never decreased, the people are very afraid that history will repeat itself.
Using these two things, Hobert stirred up the entire international situation of this world.
In addition, whether it was killing William I or the independence of the Duchy of Southern Balam, there was an element of "Abolition," after all, William I was once Hobert's king, which was a kind of regicide, abolishing the royal family's power.
The relationship between Loen and Southern Balam was well known. Sudden independence was a destruction of the rules.
All of this anger, breach of contract, and worry reached a climax on the day of Hobert's coronation, allowing Him to digest a lot of magical potions while also creating an opportunity to accommodate Uniqueness!
Hobert looked at two trusted subordinates. After taking the two demigod queens to a safe place, He changed into a knight's uniform that was easy to move in, "distorted" His position, and came to the eastern suburbs of Angers.
A familiar figure immediately appeared behind Hobert.
That was, of course, Trunsoest, who had bronze hair. He had been waiting outside Angel City for a day.
The city is protected by gods, but the process of accommodating Uniqueness certainly cannot be carried out in the densely populated city. If it fails, the city may disappear. Even if it succeeds, many people will be affected.
Although Philip I did not take the lives of ordinary people seriously, Hobert certainly would not do such a thing.
Seeing Hobert enter the eastern mountainous area in the blink of an eye, Trunsoest followed closely, but He was blocked by a huge illusory castle. Then, the powerful and mysterious "Fool" image sitting on the high-backed chair appeared in the castle.
Trunsoest frowned. At this time, Zaratul and the "Pale Empress" behind Him followed up one after another.
On the "Fool" side, Lilith, Beverly, and Raymond appeared.
This time, everyone did not immediately attack, but silently began a confrontation.
Immediately afterwards, the two angels of the Balam Empire appeared beside the "Pale Empress." Christian and Sharron also used their respective abilities to appear and confront these two "Death Consuls."
Next, the "Abomination" Suah, the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch," and other three tool men appeared, but the order they received was also to confront Suah. If the other party did not attack, they would not attack.
Finally, Sherry of the "Demoness Sect" ended her invisibility. Her old opponent Olmer also appeared through two hazy doors.
This situation made Trunsoest's brow furrow even deeper. He could feel that the angels on his side were not very enthusiastic about this battle.
Because even if they could gain an advantage now, if Hobert became the King of Angels, then this advantage would immediately disappear.
On the "Fool" and Lilith's side, as long as the other party did not interfere with Hobert, they had no intention of immediately attacking.
The reason was also that the moment Hobert became the King of Angels, if the pile of angels in front of them could stay for one more second, they would definitely have problems with their brains.
...
After Hobert entered the mountainous area, He did not go to His own mausoleum, but went to His own "suspected tomb."
Although it was accommodating Uniqueness, Hobert completely regarded this action as a rehearsal for becoming a god.
In fact, if it was just accommodating Uniqueness, there was no need to go to His own mausoleum, but now Hobert's Sequence 1 potion had not been completely digested.
In this state, it was better to accommodate Uniqueness in a more stable way.
After arriving at the disguised suspected tomb, Hobert used the teleportation array inside to enter the real mausoleum at the bottom of the lake.
Sitting on the stone chair in the center of the mausoleum, Hobert first used meditation to calm His mind and body.
Then, He took out the Uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" pathway in the shape of a crown from the "Nation of Disorder."
After removing all the seals, this Uniqueness was still in the shape of a crown, but the gem in the middle was no longer pure black, but had become somewhat illusory, like a liquid about to emerge.
This precisely proved that the opportunity created by Hobert had caused the Uniqueness to react.
He put the Uniqueness on His head and quietly felt the opportunity to accommodate it.
Hobert had already done a lot of thinking. He believed that the key to accommodating Uniqueness lay in "accommodation." This process might not be as simple as drinking a magical potion, and the opportunity was the most important thing.
Thinking back to Philip I's failed experience, Hobert had two plans. The first method was to wrap the Uniqueness with His own spirituality and gradually accommodate it with His spirituality.
In Hobert's view, this should be the correct plan. Philip I's forced accommodation was obviously not feasible.
If this plan did not work, Hobert planned to wrap the Uniqueness with spirituality and then stuff it into His own body, like eating candy, "melting" it bit by bit.
This was a bit of a forced accommodation. If Hobert felt that He was not sure, He would simply give up accommodating it.
He first used the first plan, "enlarged" His own spirituality, and then wrapped the Uniqueness on His head with the surging spirituality that had some substance in the real world.
The Uniqueness immediately responded, becoming very illusory, as if it had suddenly softened a lot!
Hobert patiently wrapped the Uniqueness with His spirituality little by little, and then applied pressure little by little, but this attempt was not very successful. Hobert's spirituality and the Uniqueness still could not merge with each other.
Hobert did not force it, but pondered for a while, and then changed His strategy, finding the stars of His supporters or believers in the Northern Continent.
The followers of the "Black Emperor" are somewhat special. As long as one understands His set of policies that deviate from common sense, they are considered His "followers." Besides that, those willing to accept Hobert's rule are also His "followers."
Simply believing that Hobert is a legitimate and rightful leader, with unquestionable rule over the Kingdom of Atlantis, is enough to become His "shallow believer."
As long as someone is His "follower," there is a corresponding, tiny, star-like point in His mind.
Hobert searched throughout the Northern Continent and found many of His supporters. Many of them were discussing the independence of the Kingdom of Atlantis, while some Beyonders were talking about the assassination of William I.
In that instant, Hobert immediately felt the Uniqueness further "soften"!
Therefore, Hobert connected with more and more supporters, especially the people of Angel City, who wholeheartedly supported Hobert's rule.
On one side was betrayal and independence, and on the other was fervent support.
These two forces of faith gradually "ground down" the Uniqueness, causing it to slowly liquefy, losing the shape of a crown.
Then, it began to stir and merge with Hobert's spirituality. Hobert could clearly feel His spirituality undergoing a transformation, and this transformation was transmitted to Hobert's spirit body, causing His spirit body to also begin to transform.
This process was extremely painful, somewhat like having all the muscles in one's body crushed, then regrowing and recovering.
Hobert could only grit His teeth and persevere. The extreme pain caused Him to lose track of time to some extent. It felt like a very long time had passed, and also like only a short while had passed.
It was as if, after passing a certain node, the Uniqueness was suddenly completely absorbed!
This feeling was like eating a very hard-to-chew delicacy, chewing hard, chewing hard, and then not knowing whether it was chewed well or not, "gulping" it down all at once.
Hobert looked at His hands, unable to see any changes, but He was very clear that a significant change had occurred within Him.
However, such changes were more reflected in the spirit body and consciousness.
Hobert took a deep breath, used meditation again to stabilize His state, and then began to examine His condition.
First, He realized that although He had not completely digested the "Prince of Abolition" potion, because His condition had been consistently good, absorbing the Uniqueness had not brought too many negative effects.
This made Him breathe a sigh of relief, fearing that He would master even more powerful forces, but His condition would be worse than before.
Then, Hobert clearly felt that many things had appeared in His consciousness.
That was divinity!
Moreover, Hobert's spirituality realized that this time's divinity was different from before. The previous divinity could be countered with humanity, and ultimately suppressed.
The divinity that appeared now was different. Humanity alone could no longer counter it. At this time, anchors had to be used, using a large amount of humanity to counter the divinity.
At the same time, the erosion of divinity on His consciousness was transferred out through the anchors.
Because Hobert had enough anchors, such a "transfer" would not cause a significant impact on His supporters.
Only with the anchors and Hobert's own humanity resisting, could the divinity be suppressed.
But even if Hobert suppressed the divinity, it would not be as easy as before.
He felt that His consciousness was divided into two. His main consciousness was like before, handling state affairs, living with the two queens, and seemingly no different from before.
And another part of His consciousness was like a pure spectator, sitting aside, coldly observing everything.
This was only because Hobert's condition was very good, that He had such a result. If His condition was slightly worse, the divinity would definitely affect Hobert's thinking and judgment.
Hobert sighed. After becoming a god, even without the influence of the Celestial Worthy, divinity alone could make Him turn towards indifference.
After all, gods have completely broken away from the concept of living beings and are closer to a part of the rules of the universe. At that time, the state will change again.
Taking a deep breath, Hobert went to check if He had acquired new abilities.
His spirituality felt something and slightly raised His hand. A humanoid shadow appeared in front of Him.
That was the "Shadow of Order"!
A materialized "Shadow of Order"!
To be precise, the real Hobert was hiding in the shadow. Even gods could only see the substitute in front of Hobert and ignore Hobert behind the substitute.
For Hobert, He and the substitute were one, as if it was a part of His body.
The substitute could use all of Hobert's abilities. Hobert could feel all the perceptions of the substitute. Hobert even felt that His consciousness was directly commanding this substitute.
It was equivalent to one consciousness commanding two bodies, but there was no discomfort in such a state.
And if He encountered danger, Hobert could immediately disconnect all connections with the substitute!
If needed, the substitute, disconnected from all connections, could continue to execute Hobert's orders in battle, maintaining Hobert's state for three seconds. During these three seconds, unless the substitute with the position and ability of an King of Angels was directly destroyed, even gods would hardly notice that it was a substitute.
There was only one exception: the opponent was very familiar with the "Black Emperor's" abilities, so they judged that it was Hobert's substitute, and the real Hobert had already run away.
The theory behind this substitute, or "Shadow of Order," was that Hobert had changed from "1" to "2," which was somewhat like having an extra life when playing a game.
At the same time, Hobert realized the difference between a "2+0" King of Angels and a "1+1" King of Angels with Uniqueness.
The "2+0" King of Angels, in addition to gaining more authority, also had His own abilities strengthened.
And "1+1," in addition to gaining more authority, also underwent a qualitative change to some extent.
These two King of Angels levels were similar, but the "1+1" King of Angels was definitely the more difficult one to deal with.
Withdrawing His thoughts, Hobert continued to feel His own changes.
The "Shadow" ability could also turn a certain area into something similar to Hobert's Divine Kingdom. In that area, Hobert could change all order, including the most basic natural laws.
Beyonders below the angel level would collapse as soon as they entered there due to the collapse of their own order.
It just took time to build such a "Divine Kingdom." Only after becoming a true "Black Emperor" could such a "Shadow of Order" area be formed.
In addition, Hobert could instantly pull others into the "Shadow," equivalent to pulling the other party into another world.
Besides that, no other abilities were added. After all, this was absorbing Uniqueness and not a true advancement. There was only one more "Shadow of Order" ability. Obviously, it was still a "low-profile version," just adding "one more life" without any increase in attack methods.
The abilities that have been significantly enhanced in terms of attack are still "Distortion" and "Tampering." Currently, Hobert can also simply "Tamper" with fate, and even slightly "Distort" time within a certain range.
Basically, all abilities have been greatly enhanced, especially operations involving authority, which are easier and more convenient than before.
Getting up from the stone chair, Hobert took a deep breath and used the "Tampering" position method to return to the "Suspicious Tomb." After returning to the normal real world, Hobert immediately used the "Nation of Disorder" to sense Tamara's position.
This was another "benefit" of absorbing the Uniqueness.
Hobert smiled slightly and immediately appeared in front of Tamara by "Distorting" space.
Currently, Hobert can use "Distorting" space and "Tampering" position to appear anywhere on the Northern and Southern continents.
However, He cannot go to the West and East continents yet.
Tamara was now kneeling piously in front of an altar, as if waiting for the response of some mysterious existence.
Hobert waved at Her, and Tamara jumped up violently, trembling all over, with a painful expression!
A Beyonder characteristic like a ball of light flew out of Her body, which was a Beyonder characteristic of "Prince of Abolition".
At this time, Hobert can temporarily use the position of the King of Angels, and use the power of "Nation of Disorder" during the process of accommodating the Uniqueness to forcibly aggregate Sequence 1 characteristics and directly analyze the Beyonder characteristics in Tamara's body.
However, this state is limited in time. After a few minutes, He will no longer have such ability. However, Tamara obviously will not live to the next minute.
