On the Sea God, Liaval, Candice, and the other members of the City of Silver's scouting team sat in chairs that didn't suit them. They warily watched the "dwarves" that came and went around them.
Of course, they knew very well that they were likely normal humans. After all, they knew that their exaggerated height was brought about by the potion, but they still felt that the people on the ship were too short, including Lord Dhaniz, who claimed to be an oracle. One had to know that in the City of Silver, apart from young children, the average height of the residents who had entered puberty and hadn't advanced to Sequence 6 exceeded 1.8 meters. Among them, there was no lack of Beyonders who reached more than two meters at Sequence 9.
The slight rocking of the ship made these half-giants feel more or less uncomfortable, but their strong physiques helped them quickly overcome this influence. And the contrast between the borderless sea and the lonely ship outside the window made them unable to help but feel uneasy, afraid, and nervous. It was like participating in an exploration mission for the first time. They were surrounded by monsters hidden in the darkness that could attack them at any moment.
At this moment, Dhaniz entered the room that had been transformed from a restaurant. He smiled at the tall people who were cautious, sitting stiffly, and wearing strange clothes.
"Your food is ready. Next, you can enjoy the delicacies to your heart's content.
"By the way, don't forget what I just told you to take note of. These waters are very dangerous.
"There's no need to get up. Just sit."
When Dhaniz saw the young Elder who claimed to be Derrick and the other half-giants trying to get up and talk to him in the most polite manner, he hurriedly pressed down with his hands to stop their uncivilized behavior.
If I had such a height, I would've already mocked the people around me … Dhaniz mumbled and clapped his hands, indicating for the crew to bring the food in.
A strong fragrance immediately entered the nostrils of Derrick and the other residents of the City of Silver. It was the familiar smell of meat and mushrooms being roasted, but there was also an indescribable, rather strange, and slightly stimulating smell.
This smell was so alluring that it made Liaval, Candice, and the others salivate crazily, awakening their stomachs.
"Desi-style roasted meat." Dhaniz pointed at a crew member who had entered.
The crewman carried a large steel plate with pieces of meat that were roasted until grease seeped out. The meat was slightly golden and was sprinkled evenly with fennel, basil, and other spices.
"Steak, pan-fried fish, white bread, seafood soup, light beer …" Dhaniz introduced them one by one. When he was done, he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about anything. You can eat as much as you want. We have plenty of food."
After saying that, he glanced at the "half-giants" who seemed to want to stand up and left the room with a chuckle.
The short-haired Candice retracted her gaze from the food with difficulty. She swallowed her saliva and said,
"Elder Derrick, what do we do now?"
Although Derrick believed that Mr. Fool's Oracle wouldn't harm them, he still habitually gave a very cautious opinion.
"Split into two groups. One group will wait for the next meal, and the other will try it now."
"Alright, Elder Derrick." Candice suddenly stood up and said, "I'll apply to join the trial team!"
The list of ten people was quickly gathered. Candice and Liaval walked to the long table by the wall at the same time and tacitly took the most tempting piece of so-called Desi roasted meat.
With one bite, the juicy juice, the fragrance mixed with the texture, and the pure meaty sensation formed a complex and layered experience in their mouths. It made them chew twice before they eagerly swallowed the food into their stomachs so that they could take another bite.
This was many times more delicious than the meat and mushrooms they had previously eaten.
Unknowingly, the ten City of Silver residents had already eaten until their eyes were filled with tears, and their vision was blurry.
On the deck, Dhaniz looked at the safe sea route in the ruins of the battle of gods and considered how to settle down Mr. Fool's believers.
Suddenly, a sailor ran over and panted.
"Oracle, they've finished eating. I hope there's more!"
… Where did these fellows come from? Dhaniz was taken aback.
"Prepare another portion for each of them."
Seeing that the sailor was about to turn around, Dhaniz hurriedly added,
"From tomorrow onwards, organize the crew to fish!"
…
In the Sonia Sea, on an island devoid of humans.
Klein had adapted to his current state and converged his spirituality. He planned on "Teleporting" back to Baekeland and summoning Arrodes to ask about some matters.
He wasn't in a hurry to bring the residents of Moon City to the outside world. He planned on waiting for Dhaniz to settle down the City of Silver's vanguard and have sufficient experience before doing so. After all, the path out of the Forsaken Land of the Gods had already been opened. He could use the method of responding to prayers and rely on the powers of the Staff of the Stars to move the entire Moon City out.
Of course, if the door closed again, Klein also had a solution. It was to first move the residents of Moon City to the Giant King's residence and get them to open the door themselves. Without the first Blasphemy Slate and the Dark Angel evil spirit, ordinary Beyonders could push open the door.
As for whether the True Creator would interfere or stop him, Klein didn't consider it. This was because the Sequence 0 true god could do so now. He couldn't stop it even if he didn't want to.
In addition, Klein believed that the True Creator's current focus wasn't on this aspect. "His" most pressing matter was to capture Amon and retrieve the first Blasphemy Slate.
Strictly speaking, this is a family drama … Klein lampooned inwardly as he grabbed Creeping Hunger from the air and wore the Sealed Artifact that had accompanied him for a long time on his left palm.
His body quickly became transparent and disappeared from where he stood.
In the spirit world that was filled with overlapping colors, Klein rapidly shuttled through indescribable figures as he approached the coordinates that represented Baekeland.
Suddenly, he stopped and stood in the chaotic void. He cast his gaze at the seven pure lights of different colors that occupied the highest point of the spirit world.
Previously, due to my low Sequence, I didn't dare to wander around the spirit world. I didn't try to visit the Seven Lights, who had a certain degree of kindness towards me. Now, it seems like I can … They are embodiments of all kinds of knowledge, and they have lived in the spirit world for countless years. Perhaps they know quite a lot of secrets … Just as Klein had such thoughts, a light suddenly soared in front of him as an elder in an orange robe appeared.
This elder was chubby and had a short white beard. He looked rather amiable.
He glanced at Klein and nodded with a chuckle.
"Your Highness, please allow me to introduce myself. You should still remember me. I'm Orange Light Hilarion."
The last time I saw you, you were very thin … Klein lampooned as he smiled and asked,
"You seem to have foreseen that I would want to visit you?"
Hilarion didn't hide anything.
"The spirit world itself is formed from all sorts of information. Some of it comes from the past, some from the present, and some foretell the future. Be it divination or prophecy, most methods actually make use of the spirit world, followed by prying into fate."
What Orange Light meant was that since Klein was in the spirit world and had the thought of paying a visit and was prepared to put it into action, there would definitely be corresponding information produced. To a certain extent, the Seven Lights that controlled the spirit world would sense it and make a prophecy.
Klein wasn't surprised at all as he nodded slightly.
"Other than you, who else wants to see me?"
He had originally planned on using honorifics, but considering the Seven Lights's attitude and how Orange Light addressed him, he gave up on this plan to maintain his status as a Sefirah Castle Proxy.
Orange Light Hilarion immediately smiled.
"All of them, all of them. Your Highness, do you mind?"
Klein shook his head and replied rather politely, "That's right.
"Of course, it's my pleasure."
As soon as he finished speaking, rays of light of different colors rose around Hilarion, transforming into different images of old men.
"Your Highness, please allow me to introduce you." After seeing Klein nod, Orange Light pointed at an extremely dignified elder in a red robe and said, "'He' is Red Light Aiur Moria."
The one who once answered my question … Klein immediately smiled and released his gratitude and friendliness.
In turn, Hilarion introduced Venithan, "Blue Light" Kutumi, "Green Light" Serapis, "Indigo Light" Jesús, "Violet Light" Saint-Germain.
Yellow Light Venithan … This is the one who prophesied the end of the world for the ancestors of the House of Abraham? Klein looked at the thin, white-bearded elder in the lemon-yellow robe and smiled.
"Then let's sit down and have a chat."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand.
The surrounding area immediately lit up with dark red flames. It came from a fireplace that was burning high-quality charcoal.
The flames illuminated a reclining chair, a grayish-yellow carpet, a cupboard, a sofa, a coffee table, a plaster statue, a white porcelain teacup, and other items, outlining a typical warm Baekeland -style activity room.
"Please have a seat." Klein faced the Seven Lights and pointed at the sofa and high-back chairs with a smile.
After the Seven Lights took their seats, Klein sat on a reclining chair, picked up a teacup, and said in a natural manner, "To be honest, I've always wanted to visit the seven of you, but I never found the opportunity.
"Frankly speaking, I've always wanted to visit the seven of you, but I never found the opportunity. Now, my wish has finally been fulfilled."
"This is also our wish." Orange Light seemed to be the most cheerful and outgoing of the Seven Lights. He immediately responded on behalf of all his companions.
Eh, I feel like I've fulfilled a wish of someone else … Klein was delighted as he probed,
"The seven of you, what do you know about the cosmos, or should I say, the Great Old Ones, and the Outer Deities?"
The relatively young-looking Indigo Light Jesús, who was wearing a linen robe, replied with a solemn expression, "That's right.
"Your Highness, the ones currently spying on our World are the Mother Goddess of Depravity, the Mother Tree of Desire, the Child of Chaos, the Primordial Hunger, the Ring of Destiny, the Superstar Master, the Undying Ravings, the King of Decay, the High-Dimensional Overseer …"
… Isn't this too much? Klein was a little stunned.
