While Lin Ruo was making a real-name report about Amon's Mausoleum, which received high attention from the Church of the Evernight Goddess, and Little Crow's nest in Backlund was about to be blown up, somewhere in the darkness of the Forsaken Land of the Gods...
This was a desolate plain filled with grayish-yellow mist, shrouded in darkness like other parts of the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Only when lightning flashed across the sky could one clearly see the general situation on the plain.
—Amidst one increasingly deep gully after another, a fifty-meter-tall bluish-black one-eyed giant wandered alone.
This giant had clearly lost its life long ago. Its sunken eyes were lifeless, not to mention its body was covered in decaying, festering marks.
If you looked closely, you could even see grayish-yellow gas emanating from within the giant's body. Undoubtedly, all the strange mist on the wasteland was its doing.
This was precisely Badheil, the youngest son of Giant King Aurmir, the 'God of Dawn'. He wandered here because he was punished for publicly cursing the Ancient Sun God, and even death did not bring him liberation; he could only wander forever in this darkness.
And beside that bluish-black one-eyed giant, in an extremely deep gully, a massive, broad, grayish-white building sat quietly.
This was Chernobyl, the place where the City of Silver Creator first revived.
A sudden voice echoed in the darkness. Amon, wearing a classical wizard's hat, jumped out of a crevice and asked while pinching his monocle.
"It could be anywhere. He has too many friends; anyone could take him in, couldn't they?" Another Amon's voice sounded. A black crow landed on the shoulder of the Amon with the classical wizard's hat. There was a white ring next to its right eye.
"Yes, so we need more clues." Amon, wearing a classical wizard's hat, said this with a gentle smile on his lips, very similar to someone.
"Compared to pinpointing his location, I think resolving the Seal he left behind is more important."
Another voice sounded in the darkness. Amon, dressed like a fourth epoch noble, approached the Amon wearing a classical wizard's hat. Compared to the familiar gentle smile of the previous Amon, this Amon's expression was colder.
"The Seal he left behind hasn't been completely undone yet. If the Seal isn't undone, none of us can leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods. The Avatars currently active outside, even if gathered, wouldn't reach Sequence 2."
The Amon dressed as a fourth epoch noble glanced at the Amon wearing a classical wizard's hat and said, "Although we can confirm his state is not right, you wouldn't think that a mere Sequence 3 could catch him, would you?"
"This is indeed a problem." Amon, wearing a classical wizard's hat, pinched his monocle and said, "Then let us solve it."
"I need some Amons to help me exploit a loophole. Everyone, who's in?"
Silver-white lightning flashed across the sky at this moment, illuminating the desolate plain.
On the plain, Amons, dressed in various ways and doing their respective things, all looked at the Amon wearing a classical wizard's hat. One of them raised a hand and said,
"How long do you think it will take to exploit the bug?"
"Maybe half a year?" Amon, wearing a classical wizard's hat, smiled gently, making it impossible to discern the truth of his words.
"That's too slow. What if he runs away during that time? You know how good he is at running." An Amon who was originally playing cards complained.
"This is, after all, the Seal he left behind."
Amon, wearing a classical wizard's hat, seemed not to mind the complaint. After saying a smiling remark, he added,
"And he will always come looking for us."
"He needs the Lord of the Mysteries to appear more than anyone else."
"You really still mind that he didn't choose you as an anchor." The Amon dressed as a fourth epoch noble glanced at the Amon wearing a classical wizard's hat and said indifferently.
"You are wrong, I don't mind." Amon, wearing a classical wizard's hat, shook his head. He pinched his monocle again, "I'm just curious who he chose."
"Aren't you curious? The person Godfather would choose must be a very interesting little fellow." Amon, wearing a classical wizard's hat, retorted, his smile growing brighter. A certain mischievous quality was very clearly displayed on him at this moment.
The Amon dressed as a fourth epoch noble looked indifferently at the Amon wearing a classical wizard's hat, neither agreeing nor refuting.
And the Amons looked at each other, and finally, the Amon who had been playing cards earlier raised his hand and said,
"Although I'm also curious who he would choose, how long do you plan to chat? Are we still exploiting this bug?"
"Of course." Amon, wearing a classical wizard's hat, glanced at him, then smiled and said,
"Since none of you are volunteering, then let's have an all-Amon public vote."
"As the main body, I will not participate in the vote. You can begin."
...
Wednesday, Backlund.
The Church of the Evernight Goddess's efficiency was undoubtedly extremely fast. After Lin Ruo's real-name report on Amon's Mausoleum on Monday afternoon, in just two days, the Church of the Evernight Goddess had formulated a plan for the matter. They finally decided that His Excellency Archbishop Anthony, the overall leader of the Church of the Evernight Goddess's Backlund diocese, would lead a team to explore Amon's Mausoleum.
As for why such a matter involving a King of Angels did not involve a higher Sequence Beyonder, it was simple: this was an order received by the Church of the Evernight Goddess's high-level after consulting the Evernight Goddess.
In response, Lin Ruo recalled the situation of Amon's Mausoleum in the original work and thought about the Evernight Goddess's 'old coin' nature, so he had no objections.
Although Amon's Mausoleum in Backlund was very dangerous, theoretically, it really shouldn't require Angel-level combat power to participate, after all, even Amon wouldn't casually condense a Sequence 2 Clone and throw it around.
And perhaps the Evernight Goddess knew something about Amon's Mausoleum, since this was Backlund, considered an important territory of the Evernight Goddess.
Or perhaps the Evernight Goddess was paying attention to Amon's situation and knew that Amon currently had no powerful Avatars in Backlund?
Lin Ruo was not quite sure. He had never understood the Evernight Goddess, nor did he know what information the Evernight Goddess actually possessed. But since the other party felt that this lineup could explore Amon's Mausoleum, Lin Ruo naturally had no objections.
However, after careful consideration, Lin Ruo himself did not plan to go—after all, his current main body was very fragile, only Sequence 9. Although he could simulate high-Sequence abilities, the duration was too short, so there was no need to force himself into this excitement.
As for Klein, considering the conspicuous characteristic of Sefirah Castle above his head, Lin Ruo also did not let Klein participate in this mission.
However, he borrowed the little mirror to watch the live broadcast with Klein.
Thus, while Archbishop Anthony led the Nighthawk of the Church of the Evernight Goddess to blow up Little Crow's nest, inside Sherlock's Detective Agency, Lin Ruo and Klein, these two Blesseds of the Evernight Goddess, were both watching the silver-white mirror.
