Leonard actually didn't have a direct impression of Amon. He only knew that he was the enemy the Parasite feared the most, the "murderer" who had injured the mysterious and powerful Old Man to such an extent. Therefore, his emotions quickly calmed down as he suppressed his voice and asked,
"What should I do now?"
In his mind, the slightly-aged voice echoed two to three seconds later.
"It's likely not Amon's true body, but 'His' avatar."
"He" … Indeed, Blasphemer Amon is an angel. He might even be a Sequence 1 angel. After all, Old Man is suspected to be a Grounded Angel … As Leonard absorbed the information and confirmed his theory, he listened to Pallez Zoroast continue.
"If Amon's true body dares to appear in Baekeland, it might very well trigger a divine descent."
A divine descent? How many years has it been since something like this happened? Since the Fifth Epoch, this was a legend recorded in the books. It had never appeared in public! Does this mean that even among Sequence 1s, Amon is one of the top existences? It's no wonder he's called Blasphemer … In just a few sentences, Leonard gained a deeper understanding of how terrifying the angel named Amon was.
As he stood in front of the letter box, his thoughts drifted. Suddenly, he had an idea. He quickly whispered,
He hurriedly whispered, "Since Amon is so highly regarded by the deities, can we think of a way to inform the Church of" His "appearance in Baekeland …"
From Leonard's point of view, the Churches of Evernight and Storm, which were born in an earlier Epoch and spanned the entire Fourth Epoch, likely had rich experience in dealing with angels. They were the best "candidates" to deal with Amon.
In his mind, Pallez Zoroast chuckled and said, "It's useless.
"It's useless. This might even be Amon's goal.
"To 'Him,' losing an avatar is only a waste of some strength. 'He' won't suffer any actual damage. And 'He' can use the death of his avatar to see the corresponding changes in fate. From there, 'He' can find the source of the disturbance or wave. Although this can't directly lock onto you and me, it can greatly reduce the range and create the conditions for 'His' true body to deliver a fatal blow.
"Besides, don't tell me you think that Amon only has one avatar in Baekeland?
"Based on 'His' habits and style, there might only be one who doesn't hide 'His' existence, but in fact, there are a few, a dozen, or even a hundred avatars surrounding this' lighthouse. '
"When we try to get rid of that conspicuous guy, it's very likely that we'll be watched by a few, a dozen, or even hundreds of Amons from different angles." He "can be a passerby, a bird on the roof, an ant on the ground, an insect in the wood, or a tiny creature in the air. If you're not a demigod, even if" His "clone invades your body, you won't notice it at all …"
Listening to the old man's detailed description, Leonard felt a chill down his spine. He suddenly felt as if there were countless Amons lurking in the air around him.
"Scared?" Pallez Zoroast chuckled. "If you knew that Amon could steal your fate without any abnormalities, you would be even more afraid."
"What do you mean by stealing destiny?" Leonard asked cautiously and suspiciously.
Pallez's aged voice sighed and said, "He will follow you home.
Then, you will realize that your parents will treat 'Him' as a son, your wife will treat 'Him' as a husband, and your children will treat 'Him' as a father. Your friends, everyone you know, will think that 'Him' is you. As for you, you will become the unluckiest. You will lose all connection with the real World and slowly die. "
"… Will this kind of theft last forever?" Leonard couldn't help but draw a gasp.
Pallez Zoroast chuckled.
"Before a thief is caught, will he take the initiative to return the stolen items?
"Unless, 'He' has had enough fun."
Leonard fell silent. He felt that an enemy at Amon's level was no longer something he could resist, but something he couldn't imagine.
After a few seconds, he couldn't hide his hoarse voice.
"Then what should we do?"
He didn't take the initiative to share his thoughts because it was highly unlikely to be realistic.
After a moment of silence, Pallez Zoroast said,
"Let's take another look."
...
Inside the Bravehearts Bar.
Marić was already waiting in Billiard Room 3 according to the agreement.
Since Sherlock Moriarty had agreed to help, a face-to-face discussion of the details of the operation was a crucial segment.
This was something that couldn't be explained clearly through letters alone.
After gulping down a mouthful of beer, Marić raised his hand to comb his hair. His pale face was devoid of any color, and the faint madness he exuded was much fainter than before.
At this moment, his heart stirred as he looked up to the side. He saw a figure in a top hat and suit quickly outline himself. It was none other than Sherlock Moriarty.
Teleportation? Marić's heart palpitated as his pupils constricted. He instinctively raised his guard.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Sherlock Moriarty, but it was a natural reaction when a creature was facing an existence at the top of the food chain.
At the same time, he caught a glimpse of Sharon's doll-like figure on the high stool through the corner of his eye.
Klein pressed down on his hat and bowed at the two of them. He then smiled.
"What I'm most concerned about is how much intelligence do you have?
"The more sufficient the intelligence, the higher the chances of success and the lower the danger.
"It's a very simple example. Can you confirm that the Tutanssess II mummy isn't problematic? Can you confirm which coffin it's in? If it's possible, I'll directly Teleport over before the guards react and bring it to the spirit world. That way, the problem will be resolved. "
Marić was just about to recall when he heard Sharon say calmly, "I can confirm which coffin it's in, but I can't confirm if there's any problem."
"I can confirm which coffin it's in, but I can't confirm if there's any problem."
Klein nodded and pulled a chair over to sit down.
"Apart from this, what else do you know?"
Sharon's blue eyes moved slightly.
"It might be a trap by Rose School, or it might be a trap by the Rouen military."
I didn't mention a second guess … That's right. Without the other party confirming our cooperation, I wouldn't reveal too much either … Klein pondered and asked in response to the latter point,
"A trap prepared for Rose School?"
This time, it was Marić who answered.
He explained in detail, "In the ancient Highlands Kingdom, the creation of mummies was a custom prepared for nobles. It was very sacred, and the Pharaoh's mummies were not to be desecrated. Back then, before the Rouen, Intis, and Feynapotter armies conquered this country, the Pharaoh's descendants had already moved the most important batch of mummies, including the remains of past Pharaohs.
"This time, a secret base of the Highlands Resistance was breached. The Rouen soldiers found Tutankhamun II's mummy at the lowest level and planned on sending it to Baekeland to an unknown military organization for research.
"To the Pharaoh's descendants, this is the greatest insult. They have sufficient motivation to snatch back Tutankhamun II's mummy. And among these descendants, there's a demigod named Mahmosi. He's one of the main leaders of the Resistance, as well as an important member of Rose School. He's a student of Abomination Suah."
Klein nodded slightly.
"In other words, Tutankhamun II's mummy might be bait used by the Rouen army to lure Mahmosi. Of course, we can't eliminate the possibility that Rose School deliberately sacrificed a Pharaoh's remains to get rid of you."
He originally wanted to say that there wasn't a need for Rose School to go to such an extent since one of them was a Sequence 6 and the other was a Sequence 5. But when he thought of how Rose School was led by the indulgent faction, and that they wouldn't have any restraint in their desire for revenge, he felt that he couldn't make a decision with the mindset of a normal person.
Furthermore, Miss Sharon and Marić were able to escape the Mother Tree of Desire's restraints and successfully escape Rose School. Apart from luck, there might also be secret support … If that's true, they're definitely targets that Rose School would focus on … Klein naturally had such thoughts, but he didn't say them out loud.
"Yes." Marić rubbed his temples. The large amount of words he said seemed to have stirred his mind and desires.
Klein thought for a moment.
"If it's the former, things will be more troublesome than I expected.
"To deal with a demigod, a demigod with accomplices, the Rouen military needs to have at least two Beyonders with combat strength at the same level as Mahmosi lying in ambush. Apart from that, they definitely have to leave some room to prevent any accidents. For example, preparing a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. In short, if it's not near Baekeland, or if it's a joint operation with the three Churches, they might not be able to easily complete such a trap."
Sharon's chin moved slightly as she nodded, agreeing with Sherlock Moriarty's judgment.
Klein didn't emphasize the difficulty as he said, "Therefore, we need to have more accurate and detailed information.
"Therefore, we need more accurate and detailed information so that we can make more targeted preparations. Only then will we be able to achieve our goal."
Without waiting for Sharon and Marić to speak, he added, "I know of a secret existence that can do magic mirror divination.
'He' strictly abides by the principle of equivalence. As long as one doesn't care about privacy or is able to withstand actions that bring about intense shame, one can obtain the answers to many questions from 'Him.'
"Are you willing to attempt it?
"I'll summon it."
Whoever summoned it in Black Divination would bear the greatest risk.
"What if you refuse to expose your privacy or refuse to do such actions?" Marić narrowed his eyes.
Klein answered sincerely, "You will be struck by lightning.
"He will be struck by lightning, which can cause quite a bit of damage."
Lightning … Marić originally believed that with a zombie's toughness, it wouldn't be a problem to withstand direct damage, but he never expected it to be lightning that was rather effective against the undead.
He hesitated for a moment and looked at Sharon. After receiving an affirmative nod, he exhaled.
"Alright."
Klein didn't speak further. As he took out a pen and paper from his pocket, he instructed, "Prepare a mirror."
Just as he said that, a palm-sized makeup mirror appeared on the billiard table.
A palace-style makeup mirror … Klein glanced at it and drew the symbol that combined "prying" and "concealment."
