Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 582 The Fool and Antigonus

"Justice" Audrey asked: "Mr. Emperor, the 'Kingdom of Night' is not large in scale? Or does it mean that the dead rarely appear there?"

The person who answered this question was "The World", or rather Klein, who graduated from the history department: "According to the ruins found on the top of the mountain, the 'Land of Night' has at least one city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, as well as corresponding villages and towns. .”

Audrey frowned: "Then there must be a lot of dead people. Of course, there may not be many dead every day, but in a country of this size, the cumulative number will be a lot."

"Emperor" Hobert thought about how to answer before saying: "I just said that Antigonus was born a mythical creature, that is to say, he was an angel from birth.

"And angels were called slaves of gods in ancient times, and they can already do many things that seem to us to be miracles!

"Or let's put it this way, after becoming a Sequence 2, he becomes more like a god, with power and abilities that we can hardly imagine.

"For example, you can operate marionettes in units of tens of thousands."

"The Hanged Man" lamented: "If he were a general, he could use his secret puppet to launch a medium-sized war."

Other members had similar thoughts. In their opinion, this was more like a miracle!

This was the first time they felt that angels could show miraculous power!

Klein is more concerned: "Why does He need so many marionettes?"

Hobert weighed it up in his mind and decided to keep this secret for now. After all, this is not the 'lawyer' path, nor is it the promotion ceremony of the adjacent path 'Arbitrator' Sequence 1. It is also the kind of 'lawyer' path. It would be very strange information if the demigod knew about it.

So he lied and said: "I'm not very sure, but thinking about the fact that Amon needs to use his own clones to stabilize his state, does he also need a large number of marionettes to stabilize his state?"

Klein nodded slightly, feeling that this method of stabilizing the state was quite good.

Sometimes he feels a little worried when he thinks about the time when believers need to be stable in the future.

Because this means that you must build your own church and develop your own power.

It would be great if marionette could be used to solve this problem.

Cattleya asked: "So, some of the miracles that are difficult for us to understand may be things that angels or gods have to do?"

Can this concept be used to explain the behavior of "hidden sages" chasing extraordinary people to instill knowledge?
Hobert didn't know how to answer this question: "Maybe."

Cattleya nodded slowly: Then here comes a new question, why does the "Hidden Sage" chase us to instill knowledge?Could there be other ways to solve the problems He encountered?

Audrey lamented: "I still can't imagine what it would be like for a city with a population of tens of thousands to be controlled by one person's will? Will those people do the same actions and say the same words?

"Goddess, living in such a city, how can the residents of the 'Land of Night' think that such a strange thing is the resurrection of a loved one?"

Through the description of "justice", everyone seems to have imagined such a strange scene.

In a city, some residents have normal movements and speech, while some residents, regardless of age or sex, all make the same movements and speak the same words.

Hobert smiled and said: "This may be the help brought by divinity, well, I don't know the specific operation, but we can speculate.

"Would it be possible to design a marionette's personality, life, and identity, and then just connect it to the 'spiritual thread'? Don't worry about it, and the marionette can operate according to these designs."

Klein, who was sitting at the top, suddenly looked at "The World" sitting opposite him. At this moment, he seemed to see "The World" reveal a strange smile.

But soon, he relaxed again. This was because he was scaring himself.

That's just a puppet!Klein comforted himself by saying: As long as it is a marionette, the spiritual thread is under my control, and it is impossible for him to do anything beyond my expectations.

Audrey sighed: "Unbelievable!"

Alger said: "Maybe this is the power of God."

He lowered his head and glanced at the top of the long bronze table. Cattleya also made a similar move. They both knew that this question could get a clear answer from "The Fool".

But they didn't dare to look directly, they only dared to take a look at the mysterious gray fog.

"The Fool" seemed not to notice their gazes and did not explain.

They didn't dare to ask. After all, they couldn't figure out the thoughts of the gods. If they asked such a question, they might offend Mr. Fool.

At this time, "Moon" Emlyn suddenly asked: "Excuse me, can an Extraordinary of this path give life to a doll? I mean, can I make the doll move on its own?"

Klein quickly let the gray fog cover him. He was afraid that everyone would see the movement of "The Fool" twitching the corner of his mouth!
Hobert also slapped his forehead: This idea is also quite strange.

Emlyn saw that everyone's expressions were a little strange. He didn't feel that his question was anything special: "We are just doing some discussions, aren't we?"

"That's right!" Cattleya seemed to understand something: "I don't think so."

She explained: "I heard that if you want to make a secret puppet, you need to control the other party's 'spiritual thread', but the puppet does not seem to have a 'spiritual thread'."

Even Derrick the Sun understood: Mr. Moon likes dolls?Isn't that something only children play with?

Although Silver City is short of supplies, it still has the concept of toys, but if you still play with toys after going to school, you will be laughed at by your classmates.

Emlyn's disappointment was evident in his words: "That's such a pity."

Originally, Klein wanted to tease him, saying that after the "divineer" reached the "high sequence", he could give some items "spiritual threads", but he thought about it and still didn't say anything.

If Emlyn really asked him to give life to his puppet in the future, he was really afraid that he would turn this guy into a marionette, lest he do something disrespectful to life.

After "Moon" interrupted it, a discussion that was originally quite serious and quite strange became neither serious nor strange anymore.

Hobert cleared his throat and continued: "The great 'founder' said that around the beginning of the Fourth Age, Antigonus was promoted to Sequence 1, and then began to operate in the Northern Continent.

"This is related to the information I received from other channels before. Antigonus was first loyal to the Solomon Empire and later supported the Tudor Empire.

"His colleagues should be familiar to everyone, Mr. Door, Amon and Adam!"

Suddenly, the mysterious "Land of Night" is connected with the well-known history.

Hobert continued: "What I am going to say next has nothing to do with the 'Land of Night' and the 'Mother of the Sky', but it is a secret about the Tudor Empire."

This is one of the reasons why Hobert asked each of them for a level of "help" of 1000 pounds.

As for the source of this information, Hobert explained this: "This information comes from the notes of a member of the Tudor family. The credibility is quite high."

No one has ever doubted the source of the information from the "Emperor". Hobert said this out of pure guilt.

He said: "Adam and Amon helped Antigonus become the King of Angels. This process is truly incredible."

The other members, including the most senior Fool, straightened their backs. This was the specific way to become the King of Angels. When the "Emperor" guessed the way to become the King of Angels, everyone was very interested.

Even if they don't have the chance to become the King of Angels, it doesn't stop them from wanting to hear how to become the King of Angels.

But that time I only talked about it in general terms, this time there will be concrete operations.

Of course, the person who hopes to get this information the most is Klein. After all, that is the way to become the King of Angels through the "divineer" path!
Everyone looked at the "Emperor" with bated breath, only to hear him say: "First of all, they captured a demigod from the Solomon Empire, and Adam performed deep hypnosis and corresponding memory transplantation to make the other person think that he was the demigod. Antigonus.

"Then, with the cooperation of Antigonus, Amon stole his identity and destiny. Antigonus used his corresponding abilities to combine the identity, destiny and experimental subjects in Amon's hands. Together.

"The demigod of the Solomon Empire began to live in the state of Antigonus, and after a period of time actively tried to accommodate the uniqueness of the 'divineer' path, but ultimately failed and got out of control.

“At this time, Antigonus released his previous abilities, allowing his identity and destiny to return to Amon’s hands, and Amon ended the theft and returned them to their original owners.

“In this way, Antigonus successfully accommodated uniqueness and became the King of Angels.”

There was a collective silence for a few seconds, and then their questions came one after another.

First Audrey asked: "Adam can do 'memory transplantation', this, this is really unbelievable."

She originally thought that if Adam wanted to avoid being noticed by everyone, he could use psychological suggestion to prevent everyone from noticing him. This was already a terrifying ability.But she didn't expect that Adam once again refreshed her understanding of a "high-sequence" audience and could actually "transplant memories"!
Just imagine, this is the ability that can transform one person into another person!

In Audrey's heart, such a superficial concept immediately appeared: A and B are enemies, A and C are friends, A asked Adam to help him take revenge, so Adam transplanted C's memory to B, then A has two friend, and the personality of the enemy disappears.

Just thinking about it made her feel cold inside.

Hobert answered vaguely: "I'm not very clear about this, but I've said before that this information channel is relatively reliable, and Adam should have such ability!"

Derrick suddenly asked: "I wonder if Adam can preserve the memory of the deceased and then transplant it into another person. Well, is this considered resurrection in a certain sense?"

He first thought that it would be great if there was a way to preserve the memory of his parents.

Emlyn said: "You should ask this, transplanting the memory of a dying person into a young person, should this be a resurrection in some sense, right?"

Forsi felt that it was very much like the idea of ​​some science fiction novels, so she asked: "Then the question is, is this living person the dying person? Or the young man?"

Hobert suddenly clapped his hands: "This is the ability of the King of Angels. As ordinary extraordinary beings, we should not think about these things with universal moral values ​​and consciousness!
"Because this will only consume our energy, and the final thinking result will be of no use to us at all!

"I suggest that the discussion on this issue should end here. When one day everyone has enough divinity in them, perhaps these problems will not exist."

Other members either nodded or used body movements to express their approval. It seemed that this question was unlikely to have a result.

Alger then asked: "Didn't I just say that people who have their destiny stolen will cut off all ties with this world? Is it because Antigonus is a Sequence 1, so he has not been affected by this? harm?"

Hobert also found it difficult to answer this question. He thought for a while before saying: "I think Amon performed some operation, or maybe Sequence 1 can last longer without destiny."

He only remembered that this incident happened like this, but the use of extraordinary abilities could only be explained by speculation, and before that, Hobert did not make corresponding speculations.

Cattleya asked: "Where does Antigonus' uniqueness come from?"

That's uniqueness, not the potatoes you see everywhere on the roadside.

This Hobert has an impression: "There are two corresponding pieces of information on this point, one was picked up when the 'Destruction Demonic Wolf' fell.

"Another piece of information showed that it was because of the 'Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation' that Antigonus encountered the uniqueness of this path."

Hobert spread his hands: "Both of these statements are very reasonable, but I have not found any relevant clear records. I don't know which one is closer to the truth."

Everyone also realizes that this happened more than 1000 years ago. If Antigonus had not left corresponding records himself, or if someone familiar with the matter had not left corresponding notes, it would be difficult to restore such details.

In the end, Klein manipulated the "world" and said: "Why do they do this? I mean, every way to become the King of Angels must be like this? Or can this effectively avoid the madness and loss of control after accommodating the uniqueness?"

He was afraid that Hobert didn't understand, so he explained: "What I mean is, if it is just to avoid losing control, then Amon can completely steal the loss of control when it occurs, wouldn't it be easier?

"Adam can also give certain inner hints to help Antigonus maintain a certain level of sanity when he loses control."

In fact, it is a bit risky for him to ask this. After all, the "Fool" seems to be the true god of this path, but as a favored person, he doesn't know why?
But this information is very important, and Klein must ask clearly.

Moreover, "The Fool" will not inform the Beloved of all the information about this path, so asking this question is not a big problem and is worth the risk.

"I understand what you mean." Hobert said: "They obviously have simpler and more practical methods, why do they make things so complicated?"

"The World" nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

Hobert thought about it for a while, and could only say vaguely and in a guessing tone: "I don't know exactly why, but I guess that to accommodate uniqueness, does it also require a certain ritual?"

He spread his hands and said: "Although accommodating uniqueness is not a real promotion, the risk should not be small, and it makes sense to use rituals as an aid."

Klein nodded slowly, this guess was quite reasonable.

Then he asked: "Why do Amon and Adam help Antigonus? Is it just to enhance the strength of the Tudor Empire?"

Think about it this way, these two brothers did a lot of things in the Fourth Age, taking away Medici's chance to become a god, and helping Tudor build an empire.

Only today did I know that they actually helped Antigonus accommodate his uniqueness.

"I think it should be for two reasons." Hobert said: "The first is that Antigonus should have had a deal with Tudor, and Tudor asked the two brothers to help. The second should be that Amon is willing help.

"Let me talk about the first point first. Except for Mr. Men who really supported Tudor, the other nobles basically had no choice but to support Tudor.

"For example, Adam and Amon, we have traded information on the death of the ancient sun god before. Everyone should understand that the two brothers will certainly not support Trunsoest, who has been favored by the six gods.

"It is said that Amon and Solomon seem to have some conflicts. I don't know what the specific conflict is, but the two brothers will definitely not support the Solomon Empire, which is obviously weak and has been looking for a way out for itself.

“In the end, they basically can only support the Tudor Empire.

"There is another great nobleman, Tamara. As far as I know, she betrayed Trunsoest because she suffered unfair treatment from the Six Gods and could only seek refuge with Tudor.

"So in order to win over the wavering Antigonus, will Tudor promise to help him accommodate his uniqueness?"

"The World" gave a dull "hmm", indicating that he thought the "Emperor"'s guess was reasonable.

Audrey said: Is this the politics of the extraordinary world?It’s similar to the methods used by politicians today.Well, in other words, regardless of whether it involves extraordinary people or not, the methods of competing for interests are pretty much the same.

Alger crossed his arms: The "Emperor"'s speculation process gave me a more specific understanding of the situation of the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Age. Speaking of which, the battle between the four emperors does not seem to be as complicated as imagined.

Cattleya noticed that the "Emperor" mentioned Tamara: In addition to the transaction with the "Emperor", I have also seen some records about this family in other places. It sounds like this family is also very good. It looks like a story.

"Let's talk about the second reason." Hobert said: "Amon is also very willing to conduct this experiment. After all, he and Antigonus are adjacent pathways, and he also hopes to participate in the process of this pathway accommodating uniqueness. Observe the process of containing uniqueness.”

As for Amon's purpose of using this experiment to test Tianzun's awakening level, dilute and resist Tianzun's consciousness, etc., this is very secret information, and it is not suitable for Hobert to disclose it at the moment.

After the gray mist, Klein always felt that Amon would not be so kind. After all, Amon was born with uniqueness, so why should he observe?But he couldn't tell Amon's specific purpose.

At this time, Emlyn, who did not know the information about "The Fool"'s path, suddenly asked: "Then did Antigonus finally become a god?"

Audrey was slightly surprised. She felt that "The Moon" was disrespectful to Mr. Fool by asking this. However, she thought that when Hobert announced Mr. Fool's path, Mr. Moon had not yet joined the Tarot Society. He might not know this at all. .

Alger couldn't help but glanced at the gray fog above him: Mr. Fool, couldn't he be Antigonus?After all, this great nobleman of the Fourth Age seemed to have completely disappeared after the death of the Blood Emperor. No one knew whether he was still alive.

After Cattleya realized that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit solid, she roughly came to the idea that Mr. Fool and Antigonus were on the same path by observing "The Sun" who rarely concealed his emotions, and through some memories. But not sure.

Emlyn also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere: "I, is there anything wrong with my question?"

"No problem." Hobert smiled: "Antigonus didn't succeed, and he can't succeed."

Emlyn was slightly startled: "Why do you say that?"

Hobert thought for a while: "Because he cannot obtain all the extraordinary characteristics needed to be promoted to a true god."

Alger immediately understood the meaning of "Emperor": Mr. Fool is not Antigonus!Precisely because Mr. Fool possesses some key extraordinary characteristics, Antigonus cannot succeed!
Audrey also had similar thoughts. At the same time, she thought: Maybe for unknown reasons, Mr. Fool lost most of his extraordinary characteristics while sleeping, and then by chance, Antigonus got some of them. When Mr. Fool emerged from his deep sleep, When he woke up, he took back those extraordinary characteristics!
Then she thought: So, Mr. Fool is the "Destruction Wolf" of the second era?
She did not continue thinking about it because the idea was too blasphemous!
Forsi guessed: Amon helps Antigonus accommodate the uniqueness, is he fighting against Mr. Fool in the adjacent path?As long as Antigonus becomes stronger, Mr. Fool, who was sleeping at the time, will become weaker and will not pose a threat to Amon?

Through the "Emperor's" vague answer and her previous guesses about Mr. Fool's condition, Cattleya was certain that Mr. Fool was the true god of the "Soothsayer" path!
At this time, "The Fool" Klein still did not give any reaction to everyone's discussion. He knew that he had to give some reaction at this time, but because he did not know the specific situation of this matter, he did not dare to give too clear a response. reaction.

In the end, he felt that it was better not to give any reaction.

When members dare to discuss "The Fool" directly, just beat them up.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief: Hobert seemed to know some inside story, but now is not the time to ask this. In other words, fortunately, he knew some inside story, which allowed "The Fool" to have "space to exist". Otherwise, I would have thought that here Is it the palace of Antigonus?

Hobert said in his heart: Brother Fool, I can only help you so far, and it depends on your response.

Emlyn realized that there was still something wrong with the atmosphere in the hall, so he did not continue to ask.

Hobert quickly skipped this topic: "After the death of the Blood Emperor, Antigonus also disappeared. As for the 'Kingdom of Night', everyone knows that it was eliminated by the Church of the Night Goddess.

"At the same time, the great 'creator' also told me a shocking news: the goddess of the night is actually the same race as Antigonus and the 'Mother of Heaven'."
