Mystery: Lucky One

From Leonard's perspective, it was fine to just say this to Alice. Although his understanding of Alice was far from the image in his memory, he still retained basic trust in her.

For example, Leonard didn't think Alice would feel blasphemous and kill herself because of such a joke.

But fools...

Even if Leonard had a hundred guts, he would not dare to say such blasphemous words in front of the Fool. What's more, he is still a believer of the Goddess of Night. Just hearing these words from others is enough to make him pray to the Goddess.

The strange look made many people realize that there might be something wrong with the answer to this question. They wondered who the "He" Alice was talking about was while waiting for the next conversation.

As the one who asked the question, Alice frowned and recalled her question, then asked thoughtfully:

"Did He say something unpleasant? Um, about whom?"

Leonard met her eyes that were sparkling with curiosity, swallowed his saliva, and answered cautiously:

"About you."

The answer was not too surprising. Alice shook her head, but she was not angry. She continued to ask:
"What did you say...can't you tell me?"

Leonard looked at Alice stiffly, not daring to speak.

Alice looked back at him doubtfully, stroked her chin, and asked thoughtfully:

"You're not worried about what I'll do to you after hearing this, are you?"

...Miss Fate, isn't it normal for him to have this kind of worry?

"Justice" Audrey looked at Alice hesitantly, then looked at "Star" Leonard, and her expression suddenly froze.

Mr. Star is using you... Miss Destiny obviously knows Mr. Star in real life, and this relationship also involves an angel, and it seems that there is also Mr. World. I originally thought that the angel and Mr. World were the main reasons why Miss Destiny knew Mr. Star, but now it seems...

Maybe Miss Fate and Mr. Star were already familiar with each other...?
"No..." To everyone's surprise, Leonard denied it. "Although that's a little...but I dare not say it. It's not because of you."

"Who is it because of?" Alice asked bluntly. "Well, let's put it this way...you don't dare to say it here, or you don't dare to say it?"

She glanced at Klein with a half-smile.

——If it wasn't her, there were only two possibilities that could have involved her and made Leonard dare not speak.

Of course, Klein had expected this. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he had a guess about the version of the message.

He knew a little about the rumors that the "world" was a nanny, and at a higher level, he just speculated that Alice was the illegitimate daughter of the Night or the Fool...

Klein glanced at Alice and already had the answer in his mind, but he heard Leonard answer awkwardly:
"All."

...Wait a minute, what do you mean by "all"?

Klein's expression turned somewhat ugly.

He thought of the love story between him and Amon that Alice had told him, and had a bad guess in his mind - it turned out that a certain angel from the Zoroast family might have found a third answer to whether Miss Fate was the illegitimate daughter of the Night or the illegitimate daughter of the Fool.

If Klein is really a fool, this speculation will at least have little impact on him, but the problem is...

He is not! He is the favored one of the goddess of night!
Klein seriously considered the possibility of praising the goddess now.

"All of them..." Alice muttered in a daze, "As expected, he is someone who can stand against the Blasphemer..."

She obviously guessed the answer too.

The members of the Tarot Club looked at each other in bewilderment. When they heard Alice's words, those who had not yet thought of the answer realized that this would not sound good. Alger, the "Hanged Man" who suspected that "Star" Leonard was from the Church of Evernight, had a clear guess, so his face was the ugliest among those present.

The scene was silent. Alice looked at Leonard and said to him carefully:
“You… forget it.

"When He speaks, don't respond."

Leonard nodded repeatedly.

Alice retracted her gaze and glanced at Klein, signaling him to quickly find a new topic. Klein, who received the hint, recalled the previous conversation and first controlled the "world" to explain to the two people who were absent from the previous meeting:
"Dwayne Dantès is a public identity. I share this identity with Mr. Fool's other followers."

This was mainly an explanation to Leonard. He paused for a moment and then looked away, answering the question from Audrey, the Justice:
"We are not ready to give up the identity of Dwayne Dantes."

After a pause, he looked around again and slowly said:

"When the time comes, there may be something that requires your assistance."

He, he was planning something in Backlund? Audrey immediately understood what Mr. World meant, and felt inexplicably excited and a little worried.

Emlyn the Moon was the second member to understand the hidden meaning of the World, and this came from his instinct to hate trouble.

Would that be troublesome... He frowned and thought, but didn't say anything.

As the other members gradually came to their senses, Alger, the Hanged Man, took a deep look at Gehrman Sparrow, the World, and said:
"I recently received intelligence that Archbishop Ince Zangwill, who defected from the Church of Evernight, was killed in West Balam. Before that, he had become a demigod, and the Sealed Artifact '0-08' he stole fell into someone's hands. The only thing that is certain is that the people who dealt with the battlefield were from the Church of Evernight."

The Hanged Man is well-informed... It's only been a few days... The church should have kept it strictly confidential... However, perhaps people from other forces also rushed to the square at that time... "Star" Leonard was stunned for a moment and did not respond.

Audrey and the others all looked towards the World. They all remembered the World's previous request to find someone, and their faces showed horror for a moment. - Did Mr. World really kill a demigod? !
Alice chuckled and continued what Alger, the Hanged Man, said:

“Adam.

"'0-08' is in Adam's hands now."

Adam!

Except for "Star" Leonard and "Judgment" Hugh, the other members suddenly recalled the information related to Adam.

——Because of his concern for the characteristic of knowing everything he says, Magician Fors mentioned Adam to Judge Hugh as "the one whose name cannot be mentioned".

The Tarot Club members were all startled. Before they could think deeply, the Fool, who was sitting at the head of the bronze table, spoke up:

“Times have changed because of this.

"Adam is closer to Godhood."

It should be said that he finally got back everything he had lost... No, wait, why does this sound familiar...

Alice blinked, and a piece of AI synthesized voice popped up in her mind:
"In my previous life, I was the creator of Silver City, but I trusted a villain by mistake and was betrayed by my closest subordinates. After rebirth, I became my own son. I must take back everything that belongs to me..."

Alice slapped herself on the head.

Amid the doubtful looks of the crowd, she looked at Leonard calmly, smiled and said:
“Adam is the child of the ancient sun god, the brother of Amon—I don’t think I need to repeat to you who Amon is.

"He is the 'Imaginary Angel' among the eight Angel Kings in the past, and '0-08' is the last piece of the puzzle that will take him to the position of God... As for what the Angel King is, the one in you should know it clearly."

Everyone's faces changed in shock, and they no longer cared about Alice's inexplicable behavior. Alice smiled at "Sun" Derrick and told him in an ambiguous tone:
“…After the death of the Ancient Sun God, Adam, as his child, resumed his legacy.”

"Sun" Derrick blinked blankly, not understanding the hint.

After calming down, Justice Audrey suddenly realized something and asked the World:
"Mr. 'World', have you become a demigod?"

The World Gehrman Sparrow did not give a direct answer, but laughed:

"If you have any matters involving demigods in the future, you can entrust me with them."

Every member present could hear what he meant: he was already a genuine Sequence 4 Demigod, and he was capable of killing powerful beings at the same level!

At this moment, Cattleya was strangely calm. She tried hard to recall the deeds of Gehrman Sparrow that she had witnessed and heard about. She was absolutely sure that he was only at the Sequence 6 level before the God War Ruins, and that he could only fight against Sequence 5 with the help of the glove.

The fact that Gehrman Sparrow was looking for mermaids in the God War Ruins but didn't hunt any of them could be explained as a requirement of the ritual. This meant that he was indeed promoted to Sequence 5 at the time, and his subsequent performance also confirmed this.

But now, only about three months after Gehrman Sparrow entered the God War Ruins, he has been promoted to Sequence 4 and become a demigod, half-human being. This has completely overturned Cattleya's cognition!
She looked at Alice with a slightly dull look in her eyes, and suddenly a strange idea came to her mind.

This speed doesn't seem like a Beyonder who was promoted step by step. Instead, it seems a bit like a true God who has regained his authority...

This was just a clue. Cattleya’s past doubts about the “world” came to her mind again. She recalled her previous speculation—she had once doubted whether the “world” was equivalent to Mr. Fool to some extent.

As he became more familiar with the "world", this speculation had faded away. After all, the "world" was indeed looking for potions, and it did prepare rituals for promotion - a resurrected ancient god should not need these in any case.

Therefore, Cattleya had not thought about this matter for a long time. Today, this idea popped up again. As for those things that could not be explained... She was not even a demigod, let alone a true god. It was normal for her to not know some things.

But the Hermit Cattleya still chose not to think further. She quickly suppressed her thoughts. After learning her lesson, she realized that if the Fool did not admit it, then the "world" could not be.

After warning herself again, Cattleya calmed down completely and let out a breath.

Mr. World is so amazing! He has become a demigod so quickly! Derrick the Sun was genuinely delighted, and his admiration for Mr. World grew stronger. He only wished that he could become a demigod as quickly as he did.

"Justice" Audrey was surprised and delighted, and soon she had a better understanding of the abnormal mental state of "World" German Sparrow, realizing that this was the combined effect of the huge stimulation and the magic potion.

Most of the others were shocked and bewildered, but Alger, the Hanged Man, was the only one who was thinking more:
As the follower of Mr. Fool, it was no accident that Gehrman Sparrow was involved in the affairs of Adam, the Angel King, and "0-08"... Although "The World" revealed that his ritual required the killing of a demigod, it was obviously not a coincidence that the holder of "0-08" was chosen.

This was most likely a joint plan by Adam, the Angel of Fantasy, and Mr. Fool - two mythological figures who existed before the Cataclysm, one for revival, the other for a step further, and they came together in secret!
As his thoughts raced, Alger came up with another idea:
Since Adam got the "0-08" and opened the door to the throne of God, what about Mr. Fool? What benefit did He get from this matter?
Subconsciously, the "Hanged Man" Alger turned around, lowered his head slightly, and looked towards the top of the long bronze table.

He didn't dare look directly and could only pay attention to the edges and corners.

Almost instantly, Alger, the Hanged Man, discovered that Mr. Fool was different from before.

In the past, Mr. Fool was both lofty and profound, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. He seemed to be looking down on everything from a high position, but that was all. Unlike now, even if he did nothing, he seemed to have merged with the entire space, and was clearly at the top, intuitively showing himself as the master here.

With a quick glance, Alger saw the third "blasphemy card" and became more certain of his guess:

As expected, Mr. Fool worked with the "Angel of Fantasy" Adam to plot against Ince Zangwill. One of them obtained "0-08", which brought him one step closer to godhood, and the other obtained many benefits including the "Card of Blasphemy", and recovered most of his strength!
Times have changed because of this! At this moment, Alger, the Hanged Man, had a deeper understanding of what Mr. Fool had just said.

The other members of the Tarot Club undoubtedly noticed that he turned his head and found that he was looking at Mr. Fool.

After a brief moment of astonishment, they all quickly or slowly came to a certain realization and realized the connection between this matter and the Fool.

Alice shook her head slightly. She watched as the Hanged Man Alger brainstormed and then looked at Klein who was hiding in the gray fog. Then the others looked over as well. Their expressions varied. She asked them in confusion:
"Why don't any of you care about what benefit I got from this? I was obviously involved in the whole process." (End of this chapter)
