1260 Omniscience (2/2)
Cracks suddenly appeared in the shadows that covered the walls, pillars, and tiles, as one brass eye after another grew out.
A figure appeared in front of the countless eyes.
He was first presented as the black-haired, light-brown-eyed, and cold-looking Gehrman Sparrow. Following that, he warped into the black-haired, brown-eyed, scholarly-looking Klein Moretti with ordinary looks. Then, he degenerated into a blurry image, and a grayish-white fog emanated from him.
At this moment, these figures that seemed to expose all of Klein's secrets came to a halt.
Boom!
He exploded, transforming into countless illusory fragments that fell to the ground and disappeared.
Klein raised his brows and tsked with a laugh.
”The omniscient power of the Reader pathway?”
Just as he finished speaking, the brass-colored eyes, which grew out from the surrounding shadows and the ground, trembled. They emitted an ethereal voice that seemed to come from ancient times:
”The aura of Sefirah Castle…”
Sefirah Castle… Colin Iliad seemed to recall something and came to a certain realization.
It's only possible to get a response or approach Sasrir with a sefirah? That's why, despite The Hanged Man clearly having Lovia, a demigod believer from the City of Silver, ”He” still forced me into the palace to meet the Dark Angel? It wasn't easy for Klein to control his virtual personality's instinct to speak.
Before he could consider what to say, the brass eyes hidden in the shadows emitted another voice:
”Your fate has intersected Amanises, Leodero, Adam, Amon, Herabergen, Aucuses, Medici, Ouroboros, as well as 'Him'…”
With regards to the true names that the brass eyes had mentioned, Colin Iliad, Derrick, and Lovia were no strangers to the names. They knew that the first was the Evernight Goddess, followed by seven of the eight Kings of Angels. Furthermore, there was no lack of Sequence 0 true deities in the present day. This left them somewhat stunned. They couldn't believe that Gehrman Sparrow would've crossed fates with so many high-level existences who exceeded Sequence 1.
Together with the sleeping Dark Angel before him, Mr. World and the eight Kings of Angels had already crossed paths. How impressive… Derrick marveled from the bottom of his heart.
Klein was in no mood to quip about his ”divine interpersonal skills.” With an obvious smile, he asked, ”'Him'?”
Klein believed that ”Him” referred to the True Creator. After all, he still had ”His” corruptive influences left in his body.
The brass eyes on the shadowy curtain fell silent for a few seconds before saying with an ethereal voice:
”'He' is another me…”
The True Creator was really another side of the ancient sun god. The side that was born from the god's corpse. It's a side filled with hatred and viciousness, one that controls Degeneration? Klein gradually drew an equal sign between the black and gloomy infant sitting in the cavity of the ancient sun god's chest and the True Creator. He had also gained initial confirmation that he was talking to the psyche left by the Dark Angel Sasrir.
He thought about it and couldn't help but smile.
”Why did you form Rose Redemption to assassinate the ancient sun god?”
The information that the question revealed was something that Colin Iliad and Lovia already had an inkling and some speculations of. However, after hearing Gehrman Sparrow say it with their own ears, they still felt pangs of depression and confusion.
The curtain that covered the walls, stone pillars, and floor tiles trembled, but the sleeping Dark Angel remained motionless.
Those brass eyes stared at him and said, ”Sun God is just my original honorific name. You should now address me as 'the Lord who created everything, the omnipotent and omniscient God, or God Almighty.'”
…I can tell that you've been leaning in that direction all this time. Finally, Klein laughed out loud. Then, he felt a lingering fear. This was because he was mocking Heaven's deputy, the left hand of God, a king among Kings of Angels, as well as ”His” true form.
To not anger the other party, he quickly repeated the question:
”So, why did you betray yourself and form Rose Redemption with the Evernight Goddess to assassinate yourself?”
The brass eyes fell into silence once again. The curtain-like shadows that blanketed various areas swayed gently without stopping.
After a few seconds, the ethereal voice slowly said,
”The Primordial One had awoken in my body…”
Upon hearing this answer, Klein's pupils dilated. For some reason, he felt his hair stand on end as his back turned cold.
It was very close to his guess, but it was even more terrifying.
At this moment, the shadows around him thickened. It became more and more sinister and gloomy, as if it was giving birth to some terrifying, unknown, redoubtable danger.
Although Colin Iliad, Derrick, and Lovia didn't understand the meaning of Dark Angel Sasrir's words too well, they were still affected by the sinister and harrowing words. It left them shuddering in fear as they trembled.
”The Primordial One had awoken in my body…”
These words echoed in the air for a long time.
