Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 106 The Thief of Destiny

All the members of the Tarot Club pricked up their ears and listened quietly to the information that the "Hermit" told them next.

To Klein the Fool, all the information about Amon was very advanced, and he could get it without spending a penny. He was of course happy to see such a deal between members.

For "Sun" Derrick, this was very important. After all, Amon's real body seemed to be in the "God-forsaken Land", and Silver City could face threats from Amon at any time.

So listen carefully, you might get some useful clues.

As for the other members, including the payer of this transaction, "Justice" Audrey, they were very curious about Amon and hoped to obtain relevant information.

Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, Hermit Odysseus organized his words and said, "When I was gathering intelligence for 'Sun', I learned that when Beyonders of the 'Thief' Path reach Sequence 2, which we call the Angel level, they can 'steal' fate!"

Without waiting for anyone to react, Odysseus continued to explain, "For example, if this angel uses the ability to 'steal' fate on a certain target, the target will lose his or her fate and become a person who is unknown and rejected by the whole world.

"And this angel can possess that person's destiny, and that person's friends, family, and children will regard this angel as their friend, husband, and father.

“The person whose destiny is ‘stolen’ can only watch it happen, and he can do nothing because everyone will treat him as a stranger.

"As time went by, no one could even hear his voice, and he eventually disappeared alone."

Finally, Odysseus commented: "This is a very terrifying and strange ability."

At the head of the long bronze table, Klein, hidden behind the gray fog, thought to himself: This ability is a bit too weird, but it sounds very powerful.

When "The Hanged Man" Alger heard "The Hermit" talk about "the disappearance of loneliness", he suddenly let out a long sigh: In fact, some people's destiny does not need to be stolen, they will disappear alone.

Then he thought: The most powerful thing about this ability is that if the others in a team don't know that someone's fate has been stolen, they won't take any precautions against that person. When that person suddenly attacks... the consequences can be imagined.

Audrey felt that the target described by the "Hermit" was very pitiful, but at the same time, she felt that the extraordinary power, at the level of angels, was too powerful and could even "steal" fate.

Derrick felt somewhat hopeless. They had discussed this during their last gathering. Amon was at least at the level of an angel, so he must have the ability to "steal" fate!

How can one defend against such a power? Can one defend against it?
Only the "magician" Fors felt out of touch, as if he was listening to a ghost story.

Odysseus continued, "Another piece of information is about Amon's past experiences.

"We've talked about this before. During the Fourth Epoch, the Amon family was once a prominent noble family within the Tudor Empire."

He paused and continued, "I can't guarantee that the following information is 100% accurate, but based on some subsequent changes in the Extraordinary Realm, this information should be accurate.

“The five great nobles of the Tudor Empire are Abraham, Adam, Amon, Jacob, and Tamara.

"The ancestor of the Jacob family was also an angel from the 'Thief' path. At some point in the Fourth Epoch, Amon stole the fate of the ancestor of the Jacob family and killed him. So for a long time, Jacob was Amon!

“Some even speculate that Jacob was killed by Amon at the beginning of the Tudor Empire. Otherwise, Jacob would have stayed away like Zoroaster and would never have been in the same camp with Amon.

"Before the fall of the Tudor Empire, no one discovered this. Of course, it's possible that some high-sequence beings discovered it, but for various reasons didn't make it public.

"It was not until the fall of the Tudor Empire and the Jacob family were hunted down by the Orthodox Church that the Orthodox Church discovered that Jacob had actually been replaced by Amon long ago."

Odysseus was not sure about this information. So many important figures in the Fourth Epoch had not discovered this in time. How did he, a herbal medicine shop owner in the Fifth Epoch, know Amon's secret?
The hall fell silent again, because this sounded too terrifying!

On the surface, the Tudor Empire has five great nobles, but in fact, there are only four great nobles!

If the Tudor Empire had not been destroyed, Amon would probably have continued to replace Jacob.

This news gave all members of the Tarot Club a deep understanding of the "Thief"'s ability to "steal" fate through the angels.

Alger suddenly thought of an inappropriate metaphor: one person receiving two people's salary.

Klein, who was behind the gray fog, noticed an important issue. The "Hermit" used Zoroaster to compare Jacob. After reading the contents of the "Blasphemy Card", he vaguely understood why Amon wanted to replace and kill Jacob.

Odysseus continued, "Although no one noticed at the time, people later realized that the vast majority of Jacob's family had died almost overnight." "Combined with some of the discoveries made by the Orthodox Church, people realized that the members of Jacob's family had been 'parasitized' by Amon without any warning, and all of them had become Amon's clones."

Just as the "magician" Fors was about to ask, didn't the members of Jacob's family realize that Amon had replaced the family's ancestor?

After hearing what the "Hermit" said, Fors wondered if she should stay away from the Extraordinary Family. It was too dangerous! Being "parasitized" by her own ancestors without any warning.

Audrey also thought: This is like a Tarot Club meeting, and the members are suddenly "parasitized" by Mr. Fool... No, Mr. Fool is not Amon, He would not do this.

Derrick felt immense pressure, and he even suddenly began to suspect that everyone in Silver City had been parasitized by Amon, becoming his clones, and only he remained normal.

But he quickly dismissed the idea: If that were the case, Mr. Fool would definitely remind me.

Alger, the most knowledgeable member, had already sensed the crux of the matter. He asked the Hermit, "Who is this Zoroaster you just mentioned? Why is he hiding from Amon?"

Odysseus didn't answer directly, but looked at Audrey: "Do you have similar questions? If you answer this question again, our deal will end here."

After being reminded by the Hanged Man, Audrey also realized that there seemed to be another hidden reason behind Amon's killing of Jacob. The Hanged Man's question was from a good angle and was more accurate than her own question.

So she said, "Yes, Mr. Hermit, please answer this question again."

Odysseus still didn't answer immediately. Instead, he said to the head of the bronze table, "Mr. Fool, please forgive my subsequent speculation and blasphemy."

Klein the Fool smiled faintly, indicating that it was nothing.

But he had already thought in his heart: As expected, Amon killed Jacob in order to seize his extraordinary characteristics!
Audrey and other members were a little puzzled as to why the Hermit still wanted to ask Mr. Fool for forgiveness, but then they became happy or excited because this meant that the Hermit's next answer might involve the level of the gods.

Odysseus continued, "I accidentally obtained this very advanced intelligence: there are only three copies of the Sequence 1 characteristic for each pathway!
"If you want to become a god, you must gather three Sequence 1 traits."

Alger's hands were shaking slightly: Really, this is really information about the divine level!
He was very keen on collecting advanced intelligence from the extraordinary world, but apart from the Tarot Club, it seemed that there was no other place where he could hear such advanced intelligence.

The other members seemed to have thought of something, but they couldn't clearly explain what it was.

Odysseus continued, "The ancestor of the Jacob family was a Sequence 1 Beyonder. Zoroaster's ancestor, as well as the patriarch of this family during the Solomon Empire and the Second Solomon Empire, was also a Sequence 1 Beyonder."

Audrey suddenly realized what she had just thought of: "Amon is also a Sequence 1. After He killed Jacob, He now has two Sequence 1 traits!"

Almost everyone present knew that Extraordinary People of the same sequence were in competition with each other.

But Sequence 1 is different from the other sequences. If a Sequence 4 wants to advance to Sequence 3, then they must obtain Sequence 3-level Beyonder characteristics. Their enemy is Sequence 3, so the other sequences are basically competing with each other.

In addition, only one characteristic is needed to advance, which means that Sequence 4 is not necessarily a mortal enemy of all Sequence 3s.

When it comes to Sequence 1, it is a competition between people at the same level, and Sequence 1 people are definitely mortal enemies!

Fors suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Amon wants to become a god!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth with her hand: This idea is too blasphemous, how could the gods... Oh my God, what did I think of? When extraordinary people reach a high enough level, they become gods?

Although no one said anything, Fors herself fell into a state of panic. The values ​​she had formed since childhood, or to be more specific, her inner understanding of the gods suddenly collapsed.

Among all the members, the calmest ones were probably "World" and "Sun". "World" was calm because he was a fake person, while "Sun", who had received a general education in Silver City, did not think this was too surprising.

By this time, Alger had regained his composure. "During the Fourth Epoch, Amon had already obtained two Sequence 1 Beyonder traits. So, by the present day of the Fifth Epoch, had he already obtained all of the Sequence 1 traits? Had he already become a god?"

"Little Sun" was a little surprised: Could the Amon clone we encountered before be the clone of God?
