After Qonas Kilgor finally figured out which Beyonder pathway the enemy belonged to, the German Sparrow in the garden, vineyard, and manor raised his left hand at the same time. He bent his middle finger, ring finger, and pinky, and extended his index finger and thumb, making them form the simple image of a pistol.
The index finger that represented the gun barrel and muzzle aimed at the midair Qonas Kilgor, and the corresponding forearm trembled as though it was struck by the recoil. Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amidst the deafening sound, rather illusory white pigeons appeared beside the Earl of The Fallen, who was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. They flew in all directions in an extremely spectacular and beautiful manner.
This was the random anomaly brought about by the iron pocket watch's Concerto of Light and Shadow. It turned the Air Cannonballs that could destroy houses into harmless white pigeons of peace!
Qonas Kilgor, who had used "Chaos" to interfere with the enemy's salvo, wasn't surprised when he saw the white pigeons flap their wings and disappear into the sky.
He was already mentally prepared.
He had already suffered the negative effects of the Sealed Artifact for several years!
Seizing this opportunity, he didn't hesitate to raise his palms that held the iron pocket watch and the strange pistol, hoping to make them collide.
This was Distortion, a Distortion that targeted all the German Sparrow beneath him.
To Qonas Kilgor, the most troublesome thing about fighting a Bizarro Sorcerer was that he couldn't tell if the enemy in front of him was a marionette or the actual body, unless the marionette was crudely made.
This way, he didn't dare to use many of his Beyonder powers because they were useless against marionettes.
It was still fine if it was an area-of-effect "Prohibition," but "Deprivation" that targeted a single target was completely meaningless in combat. No matter how many Beyonder powers were "Deprived," it wouldn't affect the actual body. When the time came, the other party could just switch to another marionette to resolve the problem.
Due to similar principles, the "amplification" of the negative effects of the mystical items on his marionette was also strategically abandoned by Qonas Kilgor.
Similarly, the Earl of The Fallen's "Bestowment" was useless. It was even inferior to "Deprivation." At the very least, "Deprivation" could make a Bizarro Sorcerer marionette lose the corresponding Beyonder powers. The negative state provided by "Bestowment" couldn't affect a marionette at all. Be it slacking off, losing his fighting spirit, or being anxious or only focused on money, it was meaningless to a marionette that was essentially a dead person, one that didn't have the ability to think or act.
Therefore, Qonas Kilgor decided to first resolve the problem of identifying his marionette and body.
In this aspect, others might not have a solution, but a High-Sequence Beyonder of the Lawyer pathway definitely didn't have such worries.
Everything had rules and followed certain patterns, and the "lawyer" demigods were good at finding loopholes and making use of them.
In addition to having combat experience with other Bizarro Sorcerers, and having seriously considered how to deal with similar situations, Qonas Kilgor was rather certain that Distortion could restrain his enemies.
He knew that a Bizarro Sorcerer could seamlessly switch between his main body and all his marionettes. He planned on "Distorting" this point, making it so that a Bizarro Sorcerer could only switch with two or three specific marionettes!
This way, the difficulty of distinguishing between his main body and marionette would be minimized.
Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that Distortion couldn't exceed the necessary limits, and that the area-of-effect "Prohibition" had reached its limit, Qonas Kilgor would definitely use a simpler method to deal with it. For example, he could make a Bizarro Sorcerer only be able to switch with one marionette, or he could directly "Prohibit" everyone from switching with their marionettes.
Pa!
Qonas Kilgor held Rever's Shout of Despair and Concerto of Light and Shadow with his hands as though he was doing an action of compressing a large area to a small one.
Earl of The Fallen, Distortion!
Silently, a red flower dyed with deep shadows appeared in his hand, as though he wanted to dedicate it to the German Sparrow in the garden, vineyard, and manor. As for the crazy adventurers who were either thick or thin, normal or terrifying, they didn't show any abnormalities.
Qonas Kilgor had also encountered a random anomaly. It was a random anomaly brought about by Concerto of Light and Shadow!
It had changed the effect of "Distortion" to summon a flower from the garden below.
And at this moment, the illusory dove formed from the Air Cannonball had yet to dissipate!
At this moment, the battle between the two demigods added a sense of absurdity, comical, and hilarious.
Of course, be it the German Sparrow or Qonas Kilgor, they didn't think so, especially the latter. He once again felt a familiar sense of helplessness.
He didn't stop and immediately clashed his palms again to complete "Distortion," using numbers to fight against the random anomaly.
However, Gehrman Sparrow wasn't a dead man, so he didn't abide by combat etiquette. The large swath of crazy adventurers either gestured with their pistols or used Death Knell, which was of unknown authenticity, to aim at the Earl of The Fallen in midair.
At the same time, Qonas Kilgor's heart stirred as he turned his head slightly and looked up. He saw another figure appear in the gigantic crimson moon that hung silently at the top of the pitch-black steeple.
This figure wore a silk top hat, a black trench coat, and human-skinned gloves. He held an iron-black revolver and had a cold expression. His facial features were deep. It was another German Sparrow!
With the crimson moon on his back, he glided down as his figure grew larger and clearer. The iron-black revolver in his hand had long been raised and was aimed at Qonas Kilgor.
Bang! Bang!
A bullet with translucent and translucent parts shot out from the muzzle, heading straight for Qonas Kilgor.
This was a Deprivation Bullet, a Deprivation Bullet made from a Worm of Time left behind by Amon's avatar!
It was different from the Arbiter pathway's Deprivation. In essence, it was Theft. It could steal the three Beyonder powers that the target had recently used in a chronological order for them to use.
However, the Arbiter pathway's Deprivation could directly "Deprive" a target as long as it chose a target. Although the Deprivation of this bullet didn't need to hit the enemy to be effective, the target had to be within a certain range without leaving the area. This also meant that one couldn't be dodged, and one could only rely on one's level and Sequence characteristics to resist or weaken it. The other could be effectively dodged if one detected it ahead of time.
Klein had given up on launching a sneak attack to stall for time. On the one hand, it was to allow Qonas Kilgor to use his Prohibition and Deprivation on Beyonder powers that seemed important to him but weren't key to the battle. On the other hand, he was waiting for the first random anomaly to appear. Then, he would seize the gap between the two anomalies to use the Deprivation Bullet to steal Qonas Kilgor's three powerful powers.
For these two goals, he had even handed Death Knell and Creeping Hunger to Enuni, making him look like a real German Sparrow and not a marionette.
From the looks of it, Qonas Kilgor would lose Distortion, Chaos, and Magnification.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the same time, the Gehrman Sparrows below also began firing.
Suddenly, the Air Cannonballs and the Deprivation Bullet exploded, turning into red, purple, yellow, or green fireworks. However, they were unable to illuminate the deep night.
The Concerto of Light and Shadow had once again created a random anomaly!
It produced multiple effects in a row, as though it didn't need to pause or pause.
Qonas Kilgor immediately smiled as he clasped his hands together.
Suddenly, the young men wearing silk top hats and black trench coats that were illuminated by the gigantic crimson moon dimmed one after another. Only two of them remained in their previous states.
The Earl of The Fallen's Distortion had taken effect!
This meant that German Sparrow could only switch positions with the two normal marionettes!
Right on the heels of that, Qonas Kilgor didn't pause at all. He swung his arm and threw out the flower that he was holding with his pocket watch.
The flower suddenly sped up as though it had an unknown weight to it. Like a sharp arrow, it shot towards one of the normal marionettes.
This attack had been Magnified, and it had the effects of Bribe — Weaken!
Boom!
The flower was like a cannonball as it slammed heavily into the ground, causing it to shake violently.
The shockwave it brought with it lifted up all the normal and abnormal humans in the surroundings. They were either torn apart or severely injured, especially the two marionettes that could switch positions with the German Sparrow. They were reduced to pieces of flesh and blood.
Qonas Kilgor maintained his calm. As he "Distorted" in midair and circled around, he raised Rever's Shout of Despair and aimed it at the German Sparrow who had descended from the crimson moon.
At the same time, he secretly prepared "Bestowment."
He wanted to make the target suffer the negative state of "Lack of Fighting Spirit!"
At this moment, Qonas Kilgor's mind suddenly went into a daze as his thoughts turned sluggish.
This … Turning into a marionette … Qonas Kilgor tensed up as he understood his situation.
He then saw that the German Sparrow who had descended from the crimson moon wasn't as far from him as before. The distance between them was only about a hundred meters.
The other party had unknowingly entered the range where he could control Spirit Body Threads and had stayed there for at least three seconds without him noticing!
"Deception!"
It was a Deception Bullet created by Amon's avatar!
Just now, when Klein, or Winner Enuni, pulled the trigger and shot out the Deprivation Bullet, he didn't fire once, but twice!
This was his way of preventing random anomalies.
In a situation where an anomaly had happened once, even if the two bullets that were slightly apart were to encounter something similar again, only one of them would be affected. After all, it was an intermittent, random anomaly. It was possible for it to happen two or three times in a row, but the probability of it happening four or five times in a row was extremely low. Therefore, there was bound to be one or more attacks that didn't have any anomalies!
And back then, the second Deception Bullet's release had been concealed by the marionettes firing in unison.
This was also another reason why Klein had gotten Enuni to use Death Knell — to rely on his luck!
Finally, he successfully "deceived" Qonas Kilgor, allowing Enuni to sneak into a safe range of 150 meters. He controlled the Spirit Body Threads and completed initial control.
Once this began, it meant that the Beyonder powers had taken effect. Since there weren't any anomalies, there wouldn't be any more anomalies!
