766 The Deitiess Anchor (2/2)
”Hmm, it's understandable. It's akin to using a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. The negative effects are often terrifying, and the Uniqueness must definitely be even more exaggerated.
”I also asked which Kings of Angels had 'accommodated' their Uniquenesses, and similarly, Mr. Door didn't give a direct answer. 'He' only said that Amon and Adam make all the angels feel a sense of envy, because 'They' were born with a Uniqueness and didn't need to consider the problem of 'accommodation.' From another point of view, does it mean that Amon and Adam's state is equivalent to having consumed a Sequence 1 potion and the Uniqueness? As expected of the Creator's sons!
”That Creator who's also known as the ancient sun god was actually so powerful that 'He' could pass on a Uniqueness to each of 'His' two sons, as well as Sequence 1 Beyonders characteristics… Was 'He' trying to purify 'Himself' to eliminate any unneeded interference?
”Then, does Mr. Door also 'accommodate' a Uniqueness, and also possibly have even consumed two Sequence 1 potions? I didn't ask, because I knew 'He' definitely wouldn't answer me.
”During the conversation, Mr. Door warned me not to directly say out Adam's full name; otherwise, it would be detected and the conversation would be discovered.
”I had an inkling why as I laughingly asked 'Him' that didn't 'He' just say Adam's full name?
”Mr. Door said it didn't matter. This is because the Apprentice pathway's Sequence 4 is called Secrets Sorcerer. It has the meaning of maintaining secrecy, and although it's inferior to the Servant of Concealment, it's enough for 'Him' to block any detection at 'His' level.
”I asked another few questions regarding the deities, but Mr. Door didn't answer. All 'He' said was that when I had the ability and opportunity, I could head above the moon to take a look. I would then understand many things.
”This is somewhat in line with some of my previous thoughts, but I'm suspecting if 'He' is luring me there to get a chance to return to the real world. After all, 'His' appearance each time is related to the moon!”
As long as Mr. Door appears, there will be plenty of information, usually covering an entire page… Hmm, his explanation of the level of strength that Kings of Angels have does match my theories…
The generalized meaning of King of Angels implicitly refers to a quasi-deity who exceeds Sequence 1 by using a variety of means, but 'They' have yet to reach the level of a Sequence 0. This includes accommodating the Uniqueness or consuming additional Sequence 1 potions. The simplified meaning of King of Angels will point out to the Creator who the City of Silver worships—the eight kings of all the angels that are ruled by the ancient sun god. Of course, 'They' must also fulfill the general definition… Thoughts rapidly flashed through Klein's mind.
As for Roselle's theory about the ancient sun god, he was in strong agreement. He believed that the Creator who the City of Silver worshiped had reclaimed too many authorities of the ancient gods, causing ”Him” to show signs of chaos and insanity. Hence, ”He” decisively gave birth to two sons to eliminate a portion of the ”waste.”
To put it simply, Amon and Adam are freebies that come with drinking potions… From the looks of it, Angel of Imagination, Adam, clearly possesses the Uniqueness of the Spectator pathway. ”He” is likely the mysterious leader of the Twilight Hermit Order. Since ancient times, ”He” has been interfering with the direction of the times in order to revive ”His” father… I wonder if ”He” has advanced to Sequence 0… Even if ”He” hasn't, the number of angels the Twilight Hermit Order can mobilize probably exceeds my imagination… Oh, Secrets Sorcerer actually has the meaning of keeping secrets, as well as the implications of concealment… Klein instantly recalled the symbol on the back of The Fool's chair.
It was the Pupil-less Eye, a symbol representing secrecy, and the Contorted Lines that represented change!
He quickly reined in his thoughts and flipped to the third diary page.
”28th November. I dreamed of Grimm again.
”He was the smartest among my subordinates, but unfortunately, he died in the Fog Sea due to some unknown infection while exploring that nameless island. He didn't even leave a child behind.
”Back then, I knew that the nameless island hid secrets with unimaginable danger, but due to my lacking strength, all I could do was hold back.
”The dream this time is likely a result of my spirituality reminding me that I can explore that island, grasp its secrets, and completely resolve Grimm's matter.
”29th November. I summoned three subordinates, and with Benjamin Abraham's help and some searching, I finally found that nameless island again.
”I didn't directly enter, and I decided to rest for a day along its periphery.
”Edwards said that he also often dreams of Grimm, feeling a deep sense of guilt for not having managed to save him back then.
”'This is not your responsibility, but my problem.' That was what I said to Edwards because I'm their leader.”
”30th November. We ventured deep into the island.
”Existing here were Beyonder creatures that large sources of data claim that they have gone extinct. They gathered there without any conflict, as though they were consecrating something…
”This bunch of Beyonder creatures without any intelligence appeared to be holding some ritual!
”They were praying to an unknown deity?
”In the ritual, I saw Grimm…”
