Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 274 A Brief History of the Trunsoste Empire

"Hermit" Odysseus thought for a moment: I didn't reveal any information about the "Argo" at the party last week, so you guessed it was me?
He smiled and asked, "Why did you guess it was me?"

"Because the time you set sail coincided with the time people discovered the Argo." Audrey "Justice" answered seriously, "and that 'Red Lion' Taylor was a very vicious pirate.

"I think that you, with your strong sense of justice, would definitely target pirates like these.

"Another point is that the name 'Argo' seems to be in the same style as 'Lelouch'. They are both brand new terms, but they seem to have some special meaning."

Behind the gray fog, Klein, the Fool, slightly adjusted his sitting position. He had previously been thinking about how to test the Hermit to see if he was a time traveler.

Now is the chance to see how he explains the name "Argo".

"I may disappoint you." Odysseus smiled and said, "I am not as righteous as you think. The reason I destroyed the Red Lion pirate group was actually to avenge the first mate of the ship.

"As for those names..."

Odysseus knew that Klein must be listening attentively at this moment.

However, he had thought about this problem before. At present, he could expose that the "hermit" was Mr. Gal and Odysseus.

However, it would be best not to expose the time traveler's affairs for the time being, as doing so would likely attract Klein's surveillance and investigation.

Odysseus planned that if possible, it would be best to wait until after the demigods, or even after the angels, to announce the identity of the time traveler.

Because at that time, there will be a great need for a comrade-in-arms who can be completely trusted, but before that, the need was not so great.

So Odysseus took this opportunity to explain, "...Actually, I saw those names in some documents left by Emperor Roselle. I thought they sounded pretty good, so I used them."

First put the blame on Russell, and when the truth is revealed later, explain that it was just an excuse he made up to answer Miss Justice's questions, and the matter will be resolved satisfactorily.

"Huh?" This was beyond Audrey's expectations.

This was beyond Klein's expectations: I had forgotten about this guy!
Then he smiled and said: Maybe I'm worrying too much. It's very likely that there is only one time traveler in an era.

Audrey continued to ask, "What kind of information is that?"

"They're just some weird stories." Odysseus lied.

Klein thought: Wouldn't the Emperor have written the comics into a book and prepared to publish it?

Seeing that the Hermit seemed to be hiding something, Audrey didn't ask any further questions, but returned to the original topic: "What's the grudge between the first mate of the 'Argo' and 'Red Lion' Taylor?"

Odysseus then told Audrey about the feud between Bazel and Taylor, and how Bazel later took revenge.

After listening to this, Audrey said with emotion: "In the future, this will gradually become a legendary story."

This is the charm of the sea.

Then she asked, "What is the Argonaut doing now?"

"We're fighting the Deep Blue pirates," Odysseus said without hiding anything. "We'll probably have a decisive battle in the next day or two."

Klein smiled faintly. "What did I say? With Mr. Garr out at sea, the pirates' good days are over. We've actually fought two major pirates in a week, and now we've killed one. This "Deep Blue" pirate group is unlucky. Encountering such an enemy, they're likely to suffer heavy losses, even if they're not wiped out."

Klein was very confident in this speculation because he knew very well that "Mr. Gar" would not start a war without certainty.

Audrey took a deep breath and said, "That sounds exciting."

"It's okay." Odysseus leaned back in his chair with a smile. It was indeed very exciting, and he was enjoying the current battle process very much.

Audrey felt that when the time was right, she would also like to go to the sea and feel the atmosphere.

But... she breathed a long sigh of relief. Currently, there was no chance for her to escape Backlund or the aristocratic circle.

Then Audrey asked, "What kind of pirate group is the 'Deep Blue' pirate group? Have they ever committed any bloody crimes?"

"Most pirates have blood on their hands." Odysseus briefly explained his understanding of pirates: "If you encounter a pirate on an island, he may not seem that vicious.

"But if you encounter a pirate on the sea, don't hesitate to shoot him immediately, because there are no morals or laws on the sea that can restrain a person who is eager to make a fortune by improper means."

This is also what Odysseus has been thinking recently. In the harbor, the pirates don't seem to be so rude and vicious, and are no different from ordinary citizens.

Because there is basic order and basic civilization in the harbor.

The pirates can't escape immediately when something happens, so they will be more restrained.

But it's different at sea, where no one can stop them from committing crimes.

So Odysseus also faced the pirates with almost two faces. In the port, if they were not enemies, Odysseus would treat the pirates as ordinary people.

If you encounter pirates at sea, even if you are strangers to them, you must treat them as enemies.

Audrey was slightly stunned by the words of the "Hermit". She suddenly realized that the situation on the sea was much more complicated than she had imagined.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became serious, Odysseus talked about his actions in fighting pirates on Cruz Island in the past two days.

Klein, who was listening, thought to himself: This guy has a talent for commanding small-scale battles. The "Deep Blue" Pirates are fine without a decisive battle, but if a decisive battle is fought, they may even be in danger of being wiped out.

Audrey's slightly heavy mood disappeared, and she began to imagine again how great it would be if she could join the battle.

After sharing some experiences that are not suitable for public disclosure at the Tarot Club, the two people's private communication ended.

"Moon" Emlyn sighed: There were too many "one-on-one conversations" at this gathering. I haven't said a word so far, and I haven't gained any information.

Fortunately, Audrey then said, "Mr. Hermit, shall we continue trading information about the Fourth Epoch?"

"Okay," Odysseus said. "Next, we'll need intelligence on the Trunsost Empire. This empire's intelligence is very extensive, so we'll need 4000 pounds."

Audrey immediately said, "I'll give you 1500 pounds."

Unlike the last intelligence exchange, when Priestess Cattleya was about to contribute 1500 pounds, she was stopped by The World: "I also hope to have the opportunity to ask questions."

If Cattleya also contributed 1500 pounds, each of the other members would only have to contribute 200 pounds. Since this was less than one-tenth of the total transaction amount, they could only listen and had no chance to ask questions.

But during the transaction regarding the Abraham family just now, Klein couldn't help but want to ask questions several times, and that feeling was very uncomfortable.

Since it has been confirmed that using the "Hermit" channel to remove the spiritual pollution of the "True Creator" can save a lot of money, Klein is not short of the 200 pounds.

So after negotiation, Audrey and Cattleya only contributed 1000 pounds this time, and they each had three opportunities to ask questions, while the other members contributed 400 pounds and had one opportunity to ask questions.

As usual, the Little Sun's part was paid with extraordinary materials.

After agreeing on how to share the reward for the intelligence, the transaction officially began.

Odysseus began, “We have said before that during the First Empire of Solomon, Trunsoste was a noble of this empire.

"Later, through betrayal, I gained the opportunity to become a Sequence 1.

“Afterwards, he and Tudor both gained the support of the Six Gods and established the ‘United Empire’.

"The Six Gods have their own reasons for this arrangement. If a Sequence One were to rule the Northern Continent, it wouldn't pose a threat to them..."

Klein thought to himself, "He's using such ruthless words right from the start. If this guy dared to say that to the outside world, he'd probably get beaten... no, struck by lightning."

Alger, Audrey, and the others seemed to be gradually becoming less resistant to such words, while Emlyn and Cattleya still felt a little uncomfortable.

The key point is that both of them are members of a secret organization, not official Beyonders.

The fact that they are all so uncomfortable with it shows how deep the public's stereotype of gods is.

Cattleya also thought seriously that her discomfort was mainly due to the image of the gods suddenly becoming concrete.

Previously, the gods had seemed unattainable to her, but now the gods described by the "hermit" had become as utilitarian as ordinary people, actively planning their own strategies. This made her think: gods were once extraordinary beings too. They had all achieved the level of gods through promotion.

This makes people feel that the distance between themselves and the gods has been shortened.

Cattleya recalled her feelings as she listened to the Hermit continue, "...After the collapse of the Solomon Empire, the six gods lost their common goal and fell into chaos again.

"However, because the rulers of the 'United Empire' were all supported by them, no one can hinder the disputes between them.

"The 'United Empire' is indeed a unified empire, but apart from the rulers, there are six forces within it that are constantly strangling it.

“So I think that although this era seems unified, it is actually quite divided and tends towards chaos.

"The chaos was so severe that Tudor was able to quietly build nine mausoleums around Backlund."

This description gave the other members a renewed sense of "epic" about the history of the Quaternary Period.

The "magician" Fors even thought that if it were written as a historical novel, it would definitely be magnificent.

Alger thought: In fact, the "Blood Emperor" is very much like a conspirator, making full use of the situation at the time to conceal his own goals.

Klein also sighed: "The Blood Emperor's experience is very similar to that of a "hero."

Odysseus continued without pausing, "I have summarized based on the intelligence I have received. During the seemingly peaceful era of the 'United Empire', its extraordinary power was mainly divided into three parts.

"One is represented by the 'Blood Emperor', who secretly opposes the rule of the Six Gods but does not want to follow the 'True Creator' anymore.

"We've mentioned this group of forces before. Besides the Blood Emperor, there are also five great nobles under him..."

At this time, Klein suddenly asked, "Why are these five great nobles unwilling to support the camp of the six gods?"

Others mainly wanted to ask why Antigonus did not support the camp of the six gods.

But since you are asking, you must ask in a direction that can get more information.

This question made the experienced Cattleya and Alger nod in agreement, both feeling that it was quite sophisticated.

Odysseus thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you what I think about this. There are some guesses in it, which may not be the real answer.

"After all, I can't completely transport myself into that era, nor can I fully reproduce the thoughts of Mr. Gate and his people."

The other members nodded. No one could do this, but the answer given by the "Hermit" must be a good reference.

"First, there's a concept everyone should be clear about," Odysseus said. "During the Fourth Epoch, people's attitude toward the gods, especially the angels', was completely different from the flattering attitude they have today. It could be said that back then, it was normal for people to be unwilling to accept the coercion of the Six Gods.

“This can be seen from the great nobles of the Tudor Empire. Those who supported Tudor could be said to be the most powerful angel families at the time.

"Mr. 'Gate', we just talked about being close to the gods.

"We've talked about Amon and Adam before. They are both unique 'Angel Kings'.

“These two should be considered as one family, or only the Amon family. Adam only supports the Tudor Empire, but does not have his own family, so he is not one of the five great nobles.

“Antigonus also became the King of Angels during the era of the ‘United Empire’.

"It can be said that in terms of strength, they don't need to consider the Six Gods' attitudes.

"Of course, the Jacob family and Tamara are exceptions. We've said before that the Jacob family was likely replaced by Amon when he supported the Tudor Empire.

"As for the Tamara family, we will discuss their speculations later."

In the description of the "hermit", the other members have been constantly building up their mental strength. It is difficult for them to imagine what kind of era it is when there is no respect for gods.
But with the description of the "Hermit", such an era seemed to gradually appear before everyone: At that time, the Six Gods did not have the strength to completely crush them. This was the fundamental reason why the Angels dared to oppose the Six Gods.

Thinking of this, the other members, including Klein, took a deep breath and suddenly had a deeper understanding of the historical background of the Fourth Epoch.

"Specifically, they each have their own reasons." Odysseus continued, "I believe Mr. Gate is on the verge of becoming a god, and he will definitely not submit to the rule of the Six Gods anymore.

“His support for Tudor is more like a cooperation.

"I think the person who supports the Blood Emperor the most in the Tudor Empire should be Mr. Men.

"Because it seems that their 'political views' are highly aligned, and they all hope to establish an empire without interference from the Six Gods.

"As for Amon and Adam, they have always had some grievances with the Six Gods. Adam is also a neighbor of the three gods, including the Lord of Storms, so it is impossible for him to join the Six Gods.

"They are even more fed up with the rule of the Six Gods than Mr. Gate.

"Antigonus first had a secret deal with Tudor. Of course, I don't know when they made the deal.

“Even at the time, few people knew about it. However, judging by Antigonus’ later behavior, he must have used that transaction to become the King of Angels.

"Secondly, there are some conflicts between him and the 'Goddess of Night', which means he will not join the Six Gods camp."

It can be said that the position of these four great nobles at the time was very awkward. They wanted to become gods, but they could not, or had no way to become gods.

You may even have to restrain yourself from searching for the remaining Sequence 1 traits, lest you become compelled to advance after finding them.

However, these speculations and related information cannot be explained to other members.

Klein changed his sitting position: If it was just the chance to become the King of Angels, it was worth taking the risk despite the pressure from the Six Gods.

Then he thought: Did Antigonus have a conflict with the "Goddess of Night" before supporting the Tudor Empire? I thought it was because the Church of the Goddess of Night destroyed the "Kingdom of Night" that the conflict between them arose.

Klein then realized that he didn't know much about the Kingdom of Night. This made him sigh: I must find an opportunity to trade information about the Antigonus family. At this time, Derrick, the Sun, asked, "Mr. Hermit, why do Adam and Amon have such a long-standing feud with the Six Gods?"

Odysseus pondered for a moment before saying, "They believe that the six gods murdered their father."

"Ancient Sun God"!
The six gods murdered the "ancient sun god"?
Everyone was surprised by the news at first, but soon they each had their own associations.

Alger thought to himself, "This idea does make sense. After all, in the Third Epoch, there were only the "Three Gods," and those three were subordinates of the "Ancient Sun God." By the Fourth Epoch, the Six Gods were already the most powerful beings in the Northern Continent. They had a motive."

Klein noticed that judging from the Hermit's tone, this matter was definitely not as simple as it appeared. Otherwise, he wouldn't have added the phrase "they think."

Cattleya didn't know that the "Hermit" once mentioned that he had "obtained" some information about the "Great Cataclysm".

She just took a deep breath: This must involve a secret history of the Tertiary Period, or it may really be related to the fall of the "Ancient Sun God".

Audrey was about to ask more, but Derrick was one step ahead of her. "Mr. Hermit, what is the truth? Did the Six Gods really murder the Omniscient Lord?"

"This problem lies in the transactions in the Third Age." Odysseus had no choice but to say.

"How many extraordinary materials are needed to trade for intelligence about the Third Epoch?" Derrick asked anxiously. "How much do you need? I'll prepare it for you."

Seeing that Little Sun was a little excited, Odysseus paused and said, "Don't be anxious. It's not a good thing to know some things earlier.

"Think about it yourself. Even if you know the answer now, what's the point?"

Derrick was slightly stunned by the question.

Odysseus finally said seriously, "No matter how many extraordinary materials you use, I cannot trade the corresponding information with you for the time being, because if I know it in advance, it may affect your condition.

"Wait until you reach Sequence 6, the potion begins to digest, and your condition stabilizes completely before we discuss this. Otherwise, it will affect your plans for advancement."

Then he looked at Emlyn and said, "And you, I won't trade information about the 'Bloodline Ancestor' with you just yet. At least not until you've digested the potion from the 'Potions Professor'."

Emlyn, who was trying to save money, was stunned for a moment before saying, "Okay...Okay."

Derrick calmed down by now and took a deep breath before saying, "Thank you, Mr. Hermit."

He understood that the most important thing for him now was to become stronger as quickly as possible, and his promotion plan could not be disrupted.

Odysseus accepted Little Sun's thanks without hesitation, then continued, "Let's continue with the deal we just discussed. The extraordinary power of the Tudor Empire belongs to that part of the power that is unwilling to accept the rule of the Six Gods, nor is it willing to continue to follow the 'True Creator'.

"There is also a force that is an extraordinary force that is willing to continue supporting the Solomon Empire, or the 'True Creator'.

“We have said before that this includes the great nobles of the Second Solomon Empire, the Zarathus and Zoroastrian families, as well as the murdered Medici and his family.

"Yes, according to some intelligence I have obtained, Medici has always supported the 'True Creator'."

Aside from the Medici incident, the information about the other two families had already been mentioned during the transaction, so Klein and the other members had no new thoughts at this point.

Cattleya, the "priestess" who did not participate in any transactions related to the "Angel King", was stunned: Medici has always been supporting the "True Creator"?
She had heard of this angel but did not know His position.

Then Cattleya noticed that the other members were not surprised by this and had no objections. She thought it was because some previous intelligence had mentioned the transaction with Medici.

This made Cattleya take a deep breath. She felt as if she had taken a leave of absence and came back to school, not knowing what the teacher was talking about.

Odysseus paused for a moment and continued, "The third force is represented by Trunsoest, who strongly supports the rule of the Six Gods.

"It was precisely because Trunsoest supported the Six Gods and was willing to cooperate deeply with them that, faced with the pressure of Solomon's resurrection, he, with the Six Gods' help, jumped to the adjacent path of the 'Black Emperor' and became the 'Judge,' or true god of the 'Arbiter' path."

Emlyn, Fors and several other members were the first to realize that the adjacent path to "lawyer" was "arbitrator".

Especially Fors, she was still thinking in her heart: I know the adjacent route of Xio.

People like Klein, Cattleya, and Alger all thought: The adjacent path was occupied by the "Night Emperor", so it was no wonder that the "Blood Emperor" could only jump to a non-adjacent path.

Odysseus continued, “The nobles who support Trunsoest are somewhat weak, including the Augustus family, the Castilla family, the Einhorn family, and the Soren family.

"Those supporting the Solomon Second Empire are at least two archangels, but those supporting the Trunsost Empire are four Sequence 2s.

"This isn't difficult to deduce. According to the theory, if a certain path has a True God, then that path won't have Sequence 1. At the time, both the Arbitrator and Hunter paths had True Gods, so the highest Sequence of these four families was only Sequence 2."

Fors suddenly felt that she had learned another piece of information that sounded very powerful: it turned out that the royal family of the Feysac Empire, as well as the original royal family of Intis, both possessed the formula for the magic potion of the "Hunter" path.

Emlyn thought: If we ignore the support of the Six Gods, the Trunsost Empire seems to be the weakest... No, with the support of our blood race, "He" is also very powerful. Oh, right, wouldn't the "Hermit" have forgotten the "Blood Moon Queen"? She's the Queen of the Trunsost Empire!

"Let's talk about the Tamara family again." Odysseus suddenly said: "I have a guess that this family once had an archangel of the 'Arbitrator' path.

“But because the Six Gods supported Trunsoest’s deification, they deprived this family of that characteristic. This is why the Tamara family rebelled and turned to support the Tudor family.

"I have this speculation because I got a clue: the Tamara family and Trunsoest seem to have contacted the same evil god and searched for the same strange sealed object."

Audrey was stunned when she heard this: What could this mean?
Klein seemed to understand the Hermit's reasoning process, but for a moment he couldn't figure out the Hermit's thoughts.

The other members either shared Audrey's or Klein's ideas.

Fortunately, Odysseus then explained his thoughts: "...That's why I guess that Tamara and Trunsoest were not enemies at least during the Solomon Empire era, and they even had some cooperation.

"So during the Four Emperors' War, why did the Tamara family support Tudor? And not the True God Trunsoest, who shared the same path?

"This is something that is easily overlooked, but I feel it is crucial. They must have turned against each other because of something, right?
"Of course, this idea doesn't prove anything, but it makes me feel like something must have happened between them."

First of all, there must be a close relationship between Tamara's family and the "Uncertain Mist".

Odysseus even speculated that during the Solomon Empire, the Tamara family was helping Solomon find the "Lamp God" and contact the "Uncertain Mist".

Solomon did not find the "Genius", but later Trensest seemed to find the "Genius" relatively easily, which made Odysseus seriously suspect that Trensest had obtained the corresponding information or help from the Tamara family.

Because these speculations involved the Outer Gods, Odysseus did not elaborate.

Odysseus continued, “Then it occurred to me that before Trunsoest became a god, there must have been archangels on this path.

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken that long from Solomon's resurrection to Trunsoest's deification. Even with the help of the Six Gods, it would have been difficult to find the three copies of Sequence 1's characteristics and uniqueness in such a short time without any clues.

“And until now, the potions and properties of this path are still in the hands of the Augustus, Castilla, and Tamara families.

"According to probability, at least one of their three families should have an archangel.

“If this is true, that family must be the Tamara family that supports the Tudor Empire.

"However, since no crucial evidence has been found, this is just speculation at the moment."

Audrey, Fors, and other members were stunned for a long time: How could such a vague clue yield so much useful intelligence?
Alger also sighed: Even if the truth is not like this, it should be not much different.

Cattleya also had similar ideas: the "Hermit"'s thinking is a model for studying ancient history. It requires both bold imagination and strong logical reasoning ability.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief: Although the information about Tamara's family was not shocking, it was refreshing.

Odysseus paused for a moment and then continued, “I’ve also wondered if the Augustus, Castilla, and Tamara families all had archangels at the time?

"But that's too dark a guess. Let's just assume that Tamara had this experience."

Emlyn suddenly felt his breath stagnate: If that was really the case, the Six Gods killed the archangels of the three families to support Trunsoest's promotion... Too dark, indeed too dark.

Fors thought: That shouldn't be the case, otherwise the Augustus family and the Castilla family would definitely not support the "Night Emperor".

Cattleya had a different idea: often the darkest guesses are closer to the truth... Haha, just thinking about it makes me feel that the competition in the Fourth Epoch is really fierce!

Alger also felt that it was not impossible. For the future of the family, to win the "War of the Four Emperors", and to share enough of the fruits of victory, such a sacrifice was acceptable.

Klein lamented: It seems that the entire extraordinary history is filled with dark tones.

"Let's continue." Odysseus said: "As for the Einhorn family and the Soren family, they have no choice but to support the 'Night Emperor'.

"The Sequence 1 traits of the ancestors of these two families were first taken away by Medici. This prevented them from turning to the 'True Creator' to whom Medici was loyal, and thus from joining the Second Solomon Empire.

"Later, the Blood Emperor had no intention of returning the two Sequence 1 traits to them, which made them unwilling to support the Tudor Empire.

“In the end, it seemed all that was left was to support Trunsost.”

Hearing this, Audrey sighed: The extraordinary power of each country, as well as the relationship between these angel families and the Four Emperors, suddenly became so clear!

Fors, who was also listening intently, suddenly asked, "Mr. Hermit, isn't there the Hades Emperor? Why aren't they planning to support the Hades Emperor?"

Odysseus had also considered this question: "Most High-Sequence Beyonders of the Hunter Path are skilled at commanding wars, and during the era of the United Empire, they had many conflicts with the Balam Empire.

"I believe that the Soren and Einhorn families, who supported the United Empire at the time, were definitely at the forefront. I believe both families must have had a grudge against the Balam Empire.

"If they didn't really have no other choice, they probably wouldn't go to the Southern Continent."

Fors nodded slowly, thinking: So there is such a thing.

Odysseus continued, "It was precisely because Trunsoest realized that the power of his nobles was somewhat weak that he took the initiative to marry into the blood clan.

“This has greatly increased the strength of the Trunsoste Empire.

"I heard that there are currently three dukes in the Blood Clan. In the Fourth Epoch, the number of High-Sequence Beyonders should be even greater."

Emlyn raised his chin: "Mr. Hermit is right."

He also heard that there were still three dukes in the blood clan, but he was not sure how many dukes there were in the Fourth Epoch.

However, considering that the blood clan suffered a considerable blow after the demise of Trunsoste, and since there were still three dukes after the considerable blow, there should have been more dukes before the blow.

"There is another family secretly supporting the Trunsost Empire." Odysseus took a deep breath and continued, "We've talked about this before. During the Fourth Epoch, the situation was much more complicated than it is now. It wasn't just the angel families we saw.

"There are also some angel families or secret organizations that secretly support a certain empire, just like we mentioned before, the 'Witch Church' may have supported the Tudor Empire.

"However, the family I'm talking about today is one that is relatively certain to have secretly supported the 'Night Emperor'. That family is the Stiano family."

The other members were all stunned, and their first reaction was that this was a very unfamiliar family name.

Cattleya, who has extensive knowledge of mysticism, has only heard of this name.

Only Klein recalled that this name appeared in Russell's diary. It was said that this family had once supported the Solomon Empire, but later the family seemed to have disappeared.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Everyone feels very strange, right?"

The other members nodded.

Odysseus further explained, "That's because, later on, it was no longer an extraordinary family. The former patriarch of this family is now known to us as the 'God of Steam and Machinery'."

I...fuck!

Klein almost blurted out this quintessential Chinese saying: "Stiano is the 'God of Steam and Machinery'?" That... is true. The 'God of Steam and Machinery' couldn't have just popped out of nowhere. It must have a source, but...

But this still shocked Klein!
The other members also showed more or less surprised expressions.

Cattleya was so surprised that she couldn't help rubbing her hands: I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Stiano is the god of "Steam and Machinery".

Then she thought: Theoretically, the Hidden Sage should be able to find a corresponding surname or some specific clues during the Fourth or Third Epoch. Unfortunately, I still haven't obtained any clues about Him in that era.

Alger leaned back. "Why fight again? The Trunsoste Empire has gathered all the Seven Gods!"
Then he realized: No wonder the Trunsost Empire won the first half of the "War of the Four Emperors"!

So Alger asked, "Mr. Hermit, based on the intelligence we exchanged previously, the Trunsost Empire defeated the Second Solomon Empire and the Tudor Empire. What benefits did Trunsost gain from this?"

Odysseus said, "We briefly mentioned before that after the destruction of the Second Solomon Empire, Trunsoste obtained the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway and a copy of the Sequence 1 characteristic.

"This involves a very critical concept. I'm not exactly sure what it is, because I've been warned that knowing the specifics will contaminate me..."

Alger thought to himself: This kind of intelligence must be very advanced!

Cattleya also recalled: I have heard that some content will be contaminated just by hearing it.

Klein couldn't help but frown, because he thought of a question: Mr. "Gate" was already in very poor condition. So when communicating with Russell, would he deliberately describe some advanced information, causing Russell to be contaminated without realizing it?
However, this was not the time to ponder this question. He listened to the Hermit continue, "...Everyone just needs to know that gods also have different strengths and weaknesses. Some gods can become even more powerful, and even powerful enough to have very obvious advantages.

"I don't know how to become stronger, but I think that for the Night Emperor, if he makes good use of the uniqueness of the Black Emperor's path and the characteristics of Sequence 1, there should be a chance for him to become stronger."

This information caused the other members to fall into deep thought. Alger thought to himself: I didn't expect there to be such a huge gap between gods.

Cattleya also realized that this level of true God seemed to contain many secrets!
Klein suddenly thought of a question that had troubled him for a long time: No wonder there were still deep contradictions between adjacent paths at the level of gods.

He had realized this problem before: there was fierce competition between extraordinary people from adjacent paths.

However, it is normal for such a relationship to occur between extraordinary people, but when it comes to the level of gods, the top of that path, is there still competition between them?
What's the point of such competition? Is it possible to switch to a neighboring path and become a true God?
The information just released by "The Hermit" made him suddenly realize: everything is for the purpose of becoming stronger!
Currently, only Klein has thought of this. Other members, including Cattleya, have not yet realized this due to a lack of sufficient advanced Beyonder knowledge.

Seeing no one asked further questions, Odysseus continued, "So, when the Second Solomon Empire was destroyed, the benefit Trunsoest gained was the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway and a copy of the Sequence 1 trait."

Audrey asked, "Has the Night Emperor become stronger?"

"I don't know if he became stronger," Odysseus said. "I only know that not long after the fall of the Tudor Empire, the Night Emperor fell."

He took a deep breath and said, "It is said that he fell because of the combined siege of the six gods."
