Amon … Klein repeated the word in his heart.
He originally believed that the Blasphemer that appeared in the Forsaken Land of the Gods in the City of Silver was a descendant of the ancient Amon family. Through inheriting the legacy of their ancestors, they had slowly reached the level of a demigod. Who knew that the other party might have lived for more than two thousand years and was a member of the Amon family at its peak!
Old antique … why would he build a mausoleum for himself? Did he fake his death to escape, or was there another reason, such as a mark left on his body by Time Freeze? Was he able to survive from the Fourth Epoch to the Fifth Epoch by taking the lives of others? I originally guessed that he was a Sequence 3 or Sequence 2, but from what I see today, it's not impossible for him to be a Sequence 1. Time always brings about a qualitative improvement … Klein was sometimes puzzled and sometimes guessed. His thoughts were like boiling water, constantly rumbling.
The puppet, Horamick, pulled at its throat and accidentally pulled off a piece of its skin, revealing the abnormally complicated mechanical structure inside.
His voice came from that position and sounded like it was leaking air.
"You guys search for the corpses on the ground. Don't come close."
"Yes, Your Grace!" Ikanser and the others were visibly relieved.
The corpses on the ground had long condensed Beyonder characteristics. Some of them had even fused with certain parts of their bodies, forming Beyonder characteristics. What a terrifying mystical item.
In addition, the deceased also carried various items with them.
The Machinery Hivemind's harvest this time isn't small. Coupled with the Specter Portrait Frame, the Human-skinned Shadow characteristic, and other items, it's completely made up for the crazy "cleaning" expenses … A large investment in exchange for a high return … Klein's gaze lingered on the ground for a while.
He took a deep breath, looked away, and followed the "puppet" Horamick, who wasn't carrying a lantern, to the wall on the other side of the coffin.
At this moment, Arrodes brightened up the image in a fawning manner, making the things in front of it clear.
Klein saw that the opposite wall had become mottled due to the rapid "weathering" just now. Many of the murals had been destroyed and could no longer be restored to their original appearance.
The only one that was relatively complete and barely visible was a colorful mural at the top of the wall. It occupied a small part of the dome.
It described a majestic mountain range, and on the highest peak stood a huge cross that was even taller than the mountain.
The cross was shrouded in layers of radiance, appearing exceptionally holy.
In front of it, there was a tall and majestic figure. The mountains were like pets crawling under his feet.
This figure was surrounded by angels with two wings, four wings, and six wings. They were either holding horns, playing harps, or blowing flutes. They looked pious and cheerful.
At the bottom of the mountain range, two angels with twelve wings on their backs, each carrying a baby, humbly walked towards the top of the mountain.
The baby on the left had slightly curly black hair, while the baby on the right had light blonde hair.
One of them had pitch-black eyes, while the other had golden eyes.
In other parts of the mountain range, there were vaguely depictions of giants with chains and dragons whose feet were bound and could never land.
Horamick first looked at the baby on the left, and his kind expression became more and more serious.
In a very low and soft voice, he said a word:
"Amon."
Then, he turned to look at the baby on the right. After a few seconds of silence, he uttered a name.
"Adam …"
Amon, Adam … Klein repeated these two names, feeling that the fog that shrouded the history of the Fourth Epoch and the Third Epoch was getting thicker.
Combining all the information he had heard, he quickly made a guess in his heart.
On the mountaintop, the figure in front of the radiant cross is surrounded by angels, with giants and dragons submitting to it. It's definitely a representative of a Sequence 0 true god … Another symbol that likes to use the cross as a symbol is the True Creator … Rumor has it that the original Amon was a descendant of the ancient god of the Sun, but the one on the mountaintop doesn't look like a pure god of the Sun …
Could it be? The Lord that the City of Silver believes in, the omnipotent and omniscient God who created everything?
This matches the City of Silver's myths and legends. The awakening of the Creator had deprived the authorities of the King of Giants, the Dragon of Imagination, and the other ancient gods …
The so-called ancient god of the Sun is actually the Lord that created everything in the City of Silver? Perhaps it's in control of the domains of the Sun and Time. In addition, the authorities of Giant King Aurmir and Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt should have returned? …
Th-this can't be covered by Sequence 0 …
Therefore, the original Amon was a descendant of the City of Silver's Lord that created everything, the omnipotent and omniscient God, and he inherited the Beyonder characteristic of the time domain? This seems to explain why he has been quietly staying in the City of Silver's dungeon for decades.
Apart from him, the Lord that created everything, the omnipotent and omniscient God has another descendant named Adam …
What did the original Adam inherit? Are there any descendants alive, and if there are, where would they be …
What's the relationship between the True Creator and that person? Is he just imitating him, using the title of Creator and the symbol of the cross? Or is there some deeper connection between the two?
Klein didn't let his doubts show too much. After all, the magic mirror, Arrodes, might be sizing him up.
Horamick stared at the mural for a while before suddenly taking a few steps forward. He stretched out his palms and pressed them against the wall.
Silently, the magnificent mural disintegrated, turning into stone fragments that fell to the ground. Even the colors quickly dissipated as though they were evaporating.
The Church of the God of Steam and Machinery is consciously covering up the history of the Third Epoch and the Fourth Epoch … Are the other Churches the same? Klein frowned and followed the "doll" Horamick to the other side.
After circling around for a while, they discovered something else.
A stone door that only had an outline was hidden in the corner.
At this moment, Horamick's joints were constantly producing creaking sounds, but this didn't stop it from quickly approaching the stone door. It reached out its right hand and attempted to push it open.
Above the stone door, aqueous light suddenly floated, condensing into a scene that seemed so real that it could be touched directly.
Dark blue waves surged forward wave after wave, and there was a black fog that was so thick that it resembled liquid.
A craggy mountain peak extended out of the fog, constantly dripping with sticky liquid.
Behind this mountain peak, the black fog was boundless, with no end in sight.
Its bottom was similarly limitless. The deeper one looked, the more serene it felt. It was as though once something fell, it would forever fall.
What is this place? Klein muttered inwardly without changing his expression.
Horamick retracted his palms and watched the scene gradually fade until it disappeared.
He tilted his head back and muttered to himself in a half-puzzled and half-sighed manner,
"Abyss …"
Abyss? That's the source of all depravity, the Abyss that's said to be able to corrode true gods? Klein was rather stunned, but as a former Clown, he maintained the state of his face and limbs very well.
He immediately thought of something. Rosell, who was exploring the Fog Sea, had once deviated from his course and left behind a puzzling sentence:
"I saw the Abyss."
Klein recalled the layers of waves that surged towards the black fog and vaguely made a guess.
There's an entrance to the Abyss somewhere in the Fog Sea?
Right on the heels of that, he looked at the stone door, suspecting that Amon, who had appeared in the City of Silver, had used some sort of ritual to finish the mausoleum. Instead of leaving normally, he had used a special passageway to head to the Abyss. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, he had truly passed away.
As for whether the City of Silver or the Forsaken Land of the Gods was somewhere in the Abyss, Klein couldn't be sure. After all, the history of this mausoleum was at least 1,500 years old. Amon had plenty of time to use the Abyss to go somewhere else.
Would he occasionally return to take away time? If he were to discover that his grave had been dug up, the expression on his face would definitely be very interesting … Klein felt inexplicably happy.
At this moment, Horamick grabbed his left hand with his right hand and twisted it violently.
With a creaking sound, his left hand was bent at the wrist, but there were no bones that broke through his skin or brought out any flesh.
There was a heavy, black metal tube embedded in his left wrist!
His entire left arm was a small-caliber Mystic-type cannon!
As expected of the Machinery Hivemind, it hides a mole of black technology. However, the requirements for such things are too high, and the cost is too high. It's obvious that it can only be provided to specific people and can't be used in the army … Klein felt that today was an eye-opener. He was lucky enough to see the mysterious World that was developing in another direction.
The only problem was that Beyonder characteristics were conserved, and Artisans were limited. Many things couldn't be mass-produced.
Horamick used his left wrist to press against the stone door.
The sound of gears grinding together sounded from within his body, and a strong spirituality light erupted.
A ray of light that was as bright as day suddenly appeared and then disappeared.
The stone door suddenly turned into pure powder, as if it had never existed.
Destroy, destroy the door? If Blasphemer Amon were to encounter an emergency and attempt to return here, only to realize that he couldn't open the door, that would be fun … Klein nearly laughed as he imagined the scene.
The exploration of the Amon family's mausoleum came to an end, and the scene around Klein rapidly shrank into the background.
An illusory, ancient, and strange silver mirror appeared in midair. The black gems on both sides that resembled eyes shimmered.
White words quickly appeared on the mirror's surface:
"Your loyal servant, Arrodes, has completed his report and is ready to serve you again at any time."
Faced with this overly enthusiastic fellow, Klein instinctively felt wary and uncomfortable. He nodded slightly and said, "That's right.
He nodded slightly and said, "Very good, you may leave first."
"Yes, the great existence above the spirit world." After Arrodes produced this line of words, the surrounding scene completely shattered.
After confirming that its power had left his dream, Klein muttered to himself thoughtfully, "That's right.
The great existence above the spirit world? It did vaguely sense the gray fog …
Does this magic mirror with a wicked sense of humor really want to side with me, or does it have other motives?
I'll observe it carefully first. Besides, it's with the Machinery Hivemind. I don't want to be bombarded by three rounds of cannon fire …
Putting away his thoughts, Klein began to look forward to tomorrow.
After the Machinery Hivemind sorted out the spoils, it would likely let him choose the items!
