Trunsoest, dressed in a deep black, heavy ceremonial robe, walked step by step towards the throne at the far end of the hall. Under the gaze of nobles and officials, he slowly sat down on the throne.
Because He did not accept the coronation of any Pope, this coronation ceremony did not have a coronation Links, only a swearing-in Links under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.
Finally, the herald announced loudly: "The supreme King of the Paz Kingdom has ascended the throne! Long live the King!"
"Wait a moment!"
Just as everyone was about to shout 'Long live the King,' they were interrupted by a voice.
A young man dressed as a Southern Continent noble, holding a brass book, came out from the crowd: "I object to Trunsoest's ascension to the throne!"
"Oh?"
The nobles did not expect that someone would actually oppose the King's coronation!
For them, this kind of coronation was just a formality!
The young man continued: "The royal family members of the Paz Kingdom are surnamed Garincha, but he is surnamed Trunsoest. Has no one questioned his legitimacy?"
"Alright!" Trunsoest on the throne smiled and said, "Don't pretend, I know you are Hobert! Your disguise cannot fool me."
Hobert smiled and said: "Your disguise cannot fool me either."
Suddenly, the sound of wood being compressed by great force, "pa pa," rang out. The palace quickly became dilapidated and decayed. The seagulls and bright seaside scenery outside disappeared, replaced by crows and dark woods.
Trunsoest on the throne also changed, becoming an old man in a hooded black robe with a long, white beard.
It was Zaratul!
The one that Hobert and Klein released from 'Foggy Town'.
This was a miracle. The venue of the King's coronation ceremony suddenly turned into a dilapidated hall in a dilapidated castle, and the guests became Zaratul's marionettes.
At this moment, Trunsoest's coronation ceremony was still continuing in Kaiser Harbor, except that the assassination attempt against Him had been transferred to this dilapidated hall.
Hobert looked at Zaratul and smiled: "You shouldn't be helping Trunsoest, at least not now is a good time."
Zaratul also smiled: "I know what you mean, but if you thought I didn't have any preparations, how could I appear in front of you?"
Above Hobert's head, a tall hall full of gray mist appeared. On the high-backed chair in the very center of the hall sat a mysterious figure in formal attire.
That was Mr. Fool.
He slightly raised his hand, and Zaratul's marionettes suddenly revealed strange smiles, stiffly turning to look at Zaratul.
Zaratul also unconsciously revealed a strange smile. He was being controlled in reverse by his own marionettes!
Currently, Mr. Fool is in the 'Sefirah Castle', surpassing Sequence 1 of the same pathway in terms of authority, and having a certain degree of suppression in terms of position.
But Zaratul was not flustered, and instead said with a strange smile: "I hope that pillar will return to its original position."
The huge stone pillar disappeared, revealing Amon, who was hiding behind it wearing a pointed soft hat and a monocle: "How boring. I thought little Zaratul brought me here for something fun? I didn't expect it was just you two fighting."
Klein above the gray mist narrowed his eyes. He knew this was Amon's main body.
After Amon seized Pallez Zoroast's Sequence 1 characteristic last year, he had been missing. Klein thought He must be preparing to become a god! He didn't expect to appear here.
He also used 'True Sight' to take a careful look. Fortunately, He was still a King of Angels, not a True God of the 'Error' pathway.
Hobert was also very surprised. He was mentally prepared for Zaratul's appearance, but he didn't expect this guy to be so bold as to lure Amon here!
However, what everyone did not expect was that Amon, by 'stealing' the distance, sat on the window sill in the distance: "You continue, just pretend I don't exist!"
This operation made Zaratul open his mouth wide. He had clearly heard that Amon was very eager to obtain the 'Sefirah Castle'!
Originally, He planned to join forces with Amon to deal with 'The Fool' and had prepared for this battle for a long time, but he didn't expect Amon to be so uncooperative.
Hobert smiled and said: "You haven't been crazy for too long, have you forgotten the legends about Amon? You even planned to use Amon?"
He had already understood that Klein was now an angel. As long as He was in the 'Sefirah Castle', Amon would not be able to steal again before becoming a god. Zaratul might not be clear about this.
For Amon, since he couldn't 'steal' it, there was no need to take action. He could also admire the surprised expression of the Archangel Zaratul.
But at this time, Mr. Fool still had to keep an eye on Amon. Who knew when this guy would have a brain fart and rush up to help?
Hobert then looked at Zaratul, 'distorting' his 'spirit body threads' and hanging him on the top of the hall.
Amon smiled and commented: "Heh heh, this trick is interesting. Zaratul has hung so many people, this is the first time he's been hung, right."
Zaratul, hanging in the high air, grabbed in the void, but he only grabbed a rose from the 'historical void'!
It turned out that Hobert knew that Zaratul wanted to pull helpers from the 'historical void', so he caused a certain 'Disorder' in his Beyonder abilities.
Zaratul dropped the flower in his hand and grabbed into the void again, but his hand was stuck.
Hobert took action again, 'distorting' the abstract 'historical void', making it smaller and trapping Zaratul's hand.
Amon, watching the show on the window, stroked his chin: "It seems you have studied the abilities of the 'Seer' pathway a lot!"
Hobert smiled and said nothing.
Apart from the 'Black Emperor' and 'Justiciar' pathways, Hobert was most familiar with the abilities of the 'Seer' pathway.
One of the core elements of dealing with this pathway is not to give him a chance to 'pull helpers'!
Zaratul, hanging in mid-air, no longer summoned helpers from the 'historical void', but waved his hand at Hobert, connecting the 'spirit body threads' of this annoying 'Prince of Abolition' with one of his marionettes.
Hobert suddenly felt stiff, as if he was a little out of control.
Almost at that instant, the ugly Suah appeared not far away, casting a transformation curse on Hobert.
Hobert immediately 'distorted' the curse onto Zaratul, turning this 'Attendant of Mysteries' hanging in mid-air into a huge spider.
Looking at Suah, Hobert frowned slightly: "I thought Tamara would come!"
As he spoke, the brass book in his hand opened on its own, revealing a line of mercury-colored words that had already appeared on it: There is only one king here, and that is the great Hobert Jeffrey!
Hobert had told the 'Book of Law' in advance that when no one was around, it could call Him 'Creator', and when someone was around, it should call Him Hobert.
The 'Book of Law' had prepared a 'rule' to deal with Tamara. He originally planned to use today's opportunity to obtain the last Beyonder characteristic of the 'Prince of Abolition'.
Perhaps Tamara had already realized that she was no match for Hobert and did not show up!
As the 'Book of Law' opened, Hobert's aura suddenly increased, but because the surrounding 'high-sequence' Beyonders were not 'kings', they were not affected.
The only one slightly affected was Amon, who was watching the excitement over there, because he was the 'King of Angels'!
At the same time, Zaratul, hanging in mid-air, exchanged positions with a marionette. The marionette turned into a spider hanging in mid-air, and Zaratul returned to normal.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Hobert fighting with Suah, Zaratul pulled outwards, finally pulling Roselle Gustav, who had a delicate mustache, out of the 'historical void'.
Roselle, whose gaze seemed a little dazed, looked at Hobert. His eyes immediately showed illusory characters and numbers. Hobert felt that he was also becoming illusory, as if he could become a stream of information at any time.
At this time, two hazy doors appeared beside Hobert.
The doors opened, revealing an opened illusory book. This was a special creature summoned from the spirit world.
The symbols and numbers in Roselle's pupils were all printed on the illusory book, and the attack Hobert received immediately disappeared.
Hobert looked at Suah, 'Magnifying' the bad state on his body, but his ability was blocked by the 'spiritual barrier' summoned by Suah.
Suah had suffered several losses already. He immediately 'magnified' the bad state on his body, so this time he had been guarding against Hobert's move.
Hobert grabbed in the void and took the 'Twilight Scepter' in his hand. The scepter, with orange and yellow intertwined and staggered, suddenly turned into a long sword hilt. A silver-white sword appeared at the top of the hilt.
He waved the long sword, and the 'spiritual cage' summoned by Suah was immediately broken by the power of the 'Twilight Giant'.
At the top of the silver-white sword, a dazzling ray of light suddenly shot out, heading straight for Suah's head.
This scene was too familiar to Suah. He had had his head blown off by Hobert like this before, so he simply retreated to the spirit world, closing the entrance between the real world and the spirit world, in order to avoid Hobert's attack.
Hobert immediately 'distorted' the boundary between the spirit world and the real world, which would be nice to severely injure Suah again, so that this guy would disappear for a while.
But the sunlight that was about to shine into the spirit world suddenly faded. The dim, dilapidated castle and the dark woods outside became brighter. The 'Twilight Scepter's' attack from the Sun pathway was 'balanced' and no longer had attack power.
Trunsoest, dressed in ceremonial robes and wearing a crown, appeared at the main entrance of the dilapidated hall. He looked at Amon sitting on the window sill, and 'Mr. Fool' confronting Amon, then his gaze fell on the 'Book of Law' in Hobert's hand.
Hobert smiled and said: "You used to be an emperor, now you've become a king, aren't you very happy?"
Before Trunsoest could say anything, Amon had already smiled and said: "Spending too much time with Medici makes it easy for your way of speaking to become like this."
Trunsoest ignored Amon's teasing and said in a solemn voice: "Hobert does not respect his elders and should be beheaded!"
A large knife suddenly appeared in the space behind Hobert's head, slashing at his neck.
If the levels are comparable, the 'Justiciar's' judgment is difficult to avoid, so Hobert grabbed his head with one hand and lifted it upwards, temporarily disconnecting the 'connection' between his head and other parts of his body.
His head was taken off by himself, allowing the illusory knife to complete the beheading process.
As the greatsword vanished, Hobert placed his head back on his neck, re-establishing the "connection" without suffering any damage.
At the same time, new words appeared on the "Book of Law": The Uniqueness is the true symbol of authority!
Trunsoest immediately felt a portion of his authority being stripped away, even though he was currently a "King of Angels," the "Book of Law" still deprived him of a part.
He took a step back, showing no further intention to attack, and instead smiled: "Haven't you noticed? The 'Pale Empress' and Tamara haven't appeared."
Hobert also smiled: "Haven't you also noticed why the 'Creator's' angels haven't appeared?"
Trunsoest was slightly stunned: "You…"
Hobert placed the "Twilight Scepter" back into the "Nation of Disorder": "When I learned that the nations of the Northern Continent wanted to make you the King of the Paz Kingdom, I was a little surprised, but it didn't seem entirely unexpected.
"But when I heard that you were going to have a coronation ceremony, I knew you must be using this coronation ceremony to conceal something.
"Looking at the entire Northern and Southern continents, the only thing you need is the Beyonder characteristic of 'Hand of Order'.
"So, your purpose is self-evident!
"Then I'll play along with you in this act, using myself to hold you back!"
Except for Amon's appearance and Tamara's unexpected assignment to Oak Island, everything else was basically within Hobert's plan.
Hobert watched Trunsoest's expression become increasingly grave, and his smile grew wider and wider: "This is called me predicting your prediction!"
This was the plan Hobert had made the night before the war, after receiving relevant information from Xio.
In fact, this was an inevitable phenomenon. Hobert knew what Trunsoest needed, so he easily guessed his purpose and acted accordingly.
Similarly, the reason Trunsoest's face was so grim was because he realized that his actions might be doing Hobert a great favor.
So, Trunsoest immediately turned his head, took a step towards Oak Island, and disappeared from people's sight.
Hobert, holding the "Book of Law," also used "Distortion" of space to follow closely behind. With these two "protagonists" gone, Lilith also left the underworld.
Zaratul first looked at "The Fool" with some regret, then glanced at Amon, who was still watching the excitement, and returned to the "Historical Void."
As Suah left last, Amon smiled at "The Fool": "They're all gone, what's the point of you, a helper, being here?"
"The Fool" asked in a condescending tone: "Why didn't you replace Adam to become a god?"
Amon smiled: "Why else? He's my brother after all."
Then he asked: "If there is hatred between Adam and me, would you be very happy?"
"The Fool" ignored Amon's question, and didn't believe a word of Amon's answer. Amon had complained about Adam before in the "Forsaken Land of the Gods."
However, "The Fool's" first thought was just to tell Amon: I know your ritual to become a god, you can't fool me!
"The Fool's" focus was actually on the second question: "What are you waiting for?"
He somewhat suspected that Amon was waiting for him to become a god so that he could replace him?
"I have an old friend who, after hearing about the problem I encountered, is very willing to return and help me!" Amon smiled mysteriously.
"The Fool" didn't know who Amon was talking about, but according to his judgment, Amon should have other plans.
So, "The Fool" nodded, and his majestic figure disappeared from the dilapidated hall.
Amon, sitting on the windowsill, adjusted his monocle: "Let me take a look at this increasingly interesting thing."
… …
Time returned to a few minutes ago, in the Loen royal manor on Oak Island.
William I looked at the dimly lit hall in front of him with a somewhat gloomy smile. Suddenly, a bronze door with intricate patterns appeared in the very center of the hall.
The door opened, and two "Death Consuls," angels of the Balam Empire, walked out from inside.
The temperature in the hall suddenly became icy, and the space inside the "Underworld Gate" caused every creature in the entire manor to tremble unconsciously.
The two angels took a step towards William I, and everything in the entire hall began to wither slowly.
William I still sat there motionless. Suddenly, the two "Death Consuls" felt as if they had entered another world. Although they were so close to William I, it was as if they could never attack this great angel.
Soon they realized that they had been separated into another space.
At this time, the wall not far from them opened like a door, and two old men walked in, namely Duke Dlink Augustus of Southville, who appeared slightly arrogant, and Grove Augustus, who wore a wig and was promoted during the previous war.
These were the opponents of the two "Death Consuls."
At the same time, William I, still sitting on the throne, waved his hand towards the window, and Sherry, the angel of the "Demoness Sect" who was hidden in the glass, was "pushed" out by the power of order.
The beautiful Sherry was about to escape, but found that an invisible barrier had appeared around her, isolating her from the outside world.
Olmer, the Sanguine angel in the form of a handsome middle-aged man, also appeared in this space. He smiled coldly: "We meet again."
Currently, Lilith, the Sanguine Ancestor, ordered Olmer to station a group of Sanguine in Angel City to be dispatched by Hobert.
Hobert treated this group of Sanguine with first-class treatment, and only asked them for help when he needed helpers and it wasn't very dangerous.
During the siege of Yason City, Olmer and Sherry had some grudges, and now that the two people met again, Sherry gave this handsome uncle a sweet smile, and even the two "Balancers" and two "Death Consuls" who were fighting over there couldn't help but look this way.
However, this time Sherry's "Charm" had very limited effect on Olmer. This Sanguine angel specially prepared a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact to deal with Sherry.
The ability of this Sealed Artifact is not outstanding, but it has a practical negative effect for dealing with witches: it ignores all beautiful things.
Although Sherry's "Charm" not only attacks the target through vision, even the blind can feel her charm and even fall madly in love with her.
However, for a Sanguine angel, without the visual impact, it is easier to maintain sufficient sanity under the attack of "Charm."
Olmer smiled slightly, and a hazy crimson moon appeared above his head. The creatures illuminated by the moonlight rapidly mutated, either turning into monsters or growing wildly, and even small bricks grew on the walls.
Sherry felt that her spirituality was becoming uncontrollable, so she quickly retreated, looking for an opportunity to fight back.
In theory, even if this hall is big, it cannot accommodate two angel battlefields.
But now it does, and it does so very easily, as if the space in this hall has become infinitely large!
At this time, the third round of assassination against William I began.
A candlestick next to William I's throne suddenly disappeared, replaced by Tamara holding the "Sword of Disorder."
She had just "tampered" with her position with the candlestick, allowing herself to appear silently beside William I.
This time William I was not as calm as before. He immediately got up and dodged Tamara's "Sword of Disorder." The throne he had been sitting on was pierced by the black sword body and immediately fell apart.
Just as Tamara continued to pursue William I, her "Sword of Disorder" was blocked by a long sword with rust and blood stains.
Tamara's "old opponents" Beverly and Raymond arrived. It was still these two siblings who were fighting Tamara.
This made Tamara somewhat helpless. She didn't know whether such opponents were her honor or her shame.
The combination of the Beverly siblings was very famous in the Fourth Epoch, making the enemy's great angels very headache. It was normal for Tamara to have fought them before.
But they were indeed two Sequence 2s, and they had stopped her more than once or twice. Tamara almost had a psychological shadow when she saw them.
William I, standing in the corner, looked at the several angel battlefields in front of him and smiled again. These angels fighting for him represented that the situation in this world was once again being stirred up by him.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his ankle. Looking down, he saw that under his feet was a world where the earth had no color, and there were skeletons and resentful souls everywhere.
At this time, skeletons and resentful souls were dragging William I's ankles, trying to drag him into the world of the dead.
The expressionless "Pale Empress" appeared opposite William I. She raised her hand towards William I, and William I felt his spirit body rapidly withering.
William I calmly separated himself and the "Pale Empress" into different spaces. He returned to the throne, and the helpless coldness and the feeling of spiritual loss quickly disappeared.
At this time, Trunsoest stepped into the hall, raised his hand, and destroyed all of William I's "separations." Then he assigned Beverly, Olmer, and other angels to one space, and William I and Trunsoest's angels to another.
"Kill William I as soon as possible!" Trunsoest shouted: "Otherwise…"
At this time, Hobert, who had followed closely behind, arrived. At this time, he had put away the "Book of Law" and wore the Uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" pathway on his head.
Hobert raised his hand, and Trunsoest fell into "Disorder," interrupting his words.
In the next instant, Hobert appeared next to William I, and with another wave of his hand, he destroyed Trunsoest's division of the battlefield.
William I smiled at Trunsoest and said, "Admit it, your sneak attack failed! Haha… uh…"
He lowered his head in disbelief, and a black "Sword of Disorder" pierced his chest, and the owner of this sword was the cold-faced Hobert.
