Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 409 No one understands prophecy better than me
Archbishop Ivan and the others were successfully turned into puppets by Qin Sheng and became part of the Azathoth.

Because the Mask of Fear can only control a maximum of fifty puppets, Qin Sheng also released several weaker older puppets to free up the quota.

"When we encounter enemies, we first turn their puppets into my crew. When we no longer need the puppets' power, we then kill them to obtain their extraordinary characteristics and make the most of their remaining strength."

Qin Sheng was very satisfied with this; it was truly making the best use of resources without any waste.

Do your best, and I will pray for you in the goddess's kingdom.

"According to the knowledge given by the goddess, angels on the warrior path wield a simple 'twilight' authority, which can cause their opponents to gradually age and die; archangels can unleash divine punishment on behalf of the god they serve, which sounds pretty powerful..."

"Yes, but the Church of the God of War does not have a Sequence 1 Divine Hand."

The Warrior path, Sequence 1, allows one to borrow divine power, making it exceptionally strong among all Sequence 1s. After all, the realm between a true god and those below them is entirely different.

But without gods, Sequence 1 has no power to draw upon; even if there were gods, Sequence 1 would be impossible to possess.

Therefore, the power of the "Hand of God" is purely a shockwave.

"The Church of the God of War will be furious this time. I wonder what their reaction will be. Goddess, I have devoted myself to you to the utmost, even unto death."

I used to find it hard to call her "goddess," but now it's becoming easier and easier to say.

loyalty!

So, why haven't I received my reward yet?

The Azathoth drifted away.

……

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Archbishop Grigoriev Ivan of the Church of War God has died at the hands of a great pirate, and a new pirate king—the Nightmare King—has been born!"

"Extra number! Extra number..."

In Tingen, Klein, sitting in his carriage, was startled when he suddenly heard the newsboy's voice outside.

The Archbishop of the Church of War is dead? Which pirate is so arrogant as to dare to be an enemy of the Church of the True God?

They're completely disregarding the true God!

Wait, could it be...?

Klein suddenly remembered something and quickly bought a copy of the "Tinggen Honest Man's Newspaper".

There are many people like him; the words "death of the archbishop of the church" and "new pirate king" are simply too eye-catching.

This is traffic.

Newspapers around the world will definitely see a surge in sales this time, making them a small fortune.

"That Archbishop Ivan, and several deacons of the Church of War, encountered the Nightmare King in the Sunia Sea. None of them survived; instead, they all became the Nightmare King's puppets?"

"According to some survivors on merchant ships and passenger ships who encountered the Nightmare King, the Nightmare King has no face. Looking directly at him will make you see the fear in your own heart. No one knows what he looks like. He is an extremely mysterious pirate king."

"His ships were covered in tentacles, crackled with lightning, and vines entwined like veins, like the most terrifying monsters in mythology. The pirates he killed would serve him even in death, able to move and fight; they were ships of the dead."

"Hiss, this is a bit weird. No wonder it's called the Nightmare King. I wonder which category this ability to manipulate the dead belongs to. It's too evil. I feel disgusted just looking at it."

"The Azathoth? Who in this world would name a ship like that? Could it be the Emperor's doing again?"

Klein would subconsciously attribute everything related to his "past life" to Roselle, because Old Huang, this cultural porter from Earth, was really too good at it.

"This Nightmare King is definitely the Emperor," Klein confirmed in his heart.

At the demigod ship and tarot meeting, the emperor mentioned divine gifts and the ability to confront nightmares, which sounded like the power of the main path of the Church of the Night.

Klein thought to himself, "Mr. Noah has truly made a name for himself by killing a demigod of the church..."

In this world where gods exist, neither robbing merchant ships nor even storming official posts can have the same impact as directly challenging the Church.

When Klein saw the final report in the newspaper about the Nightmare King's bounty, he immediately became envious.

"The Fussac Empire's bounty... that's roughly two hundred thousand gold pounds, and the Kingdom of Loen..."

A bounty of hundreds of thousands of pounds—that's someone who's made of gold from head to toe!
Klein even considered reporting him to the Church of the Night. No, Mr. Noah is a chosen one of the goddesses; if I were to report him to the church…

I feel like I'll be shot eight times in the back tomorrow and commit suicide; or the Goddess's Sword will come to Tingen again to investigate the case of the Night Watcher Klein's loss of control.

At this point, Klein finally understood why Qin Sheng wanted to separate his identities as a great pirate and a goddess's chosen one; it was simply too crazy.

When Klein arrived at the Night Watchers' camp, everyone was talking about it.

"The fifth in the sea, the Nightmare King, this is truly terrifying. Fortunately, it was the Archbishop of the Church of the God of War who died."

"He seems like a madman. I just hope he'll tone it down in the future and not go against the goddess."

"These important figures in the mysterious world are too far removed from us."

Klein was secretly pleased to hear this. "Don't worry, everyone," he thought, "the Nightmare King won't be an enemy of the Goddess. They're in cahoots."

At the same time, Mr. Fool also felt that he was the only one who was sober in a world of drunks.

Unexpectedly, the Nightmare King is one of my men!

Leonard, who possessed the mysterious old man's charm, laughed:
“I don’t think we need to worry about anything. After all, our church has produced a chosen one in this era.”

The old man inside him had told him that as long as those favored by the gods weren't too useless, they had a high probability of becoming angels.

Does the Nightmare King have the ability to be promoted to angel?
You know it's impossible.

“Indeed.” Klein wholeheartedly agreed.

……

On the high seas, on the ghost ship "Blue Avenger," Alger received a telegram from the church.

"The Nightmare King is a demigod who possesses a superhuman ship that incorporates the Sailor Path Sequence 4. He despises pirates. Return to the Church as soon as possible to avoid encountering the Nightmare King..."

The Emperor is truly infamous; his fearsome reputation is known far and wide. Even my steward tells me to avoid him.

"A supernatural ship of the Sailor Path Sequence 4..." Alger fell silent upon thinking of this information.

Becoming a demigod sailor has always been his dream, but my dream is to own one of the Emperor's ships?

Then, a feeling of excitement arose in Alger's heart.

The goddess's chosen one concealed his identity and openly killed a demigod from the Church of the God of War. The Fool and the Goddess of Night's target was indeed the God of War!
My reasoning was correct!

……

Backlund.

Earl Hall looked up from the newspaper and sighed softly.

"These pirates are truly insane. Doing something like this is tantamount to declaring war on the Church of War."

"With such a mad pirate king suddenly appearing on the high seas, will your shipping business be affected?" the Countess asked with some concern.

"I'm not sure. Perhaps we should let the shipping company wait and see." "Dad, Mom, I don't think there's any need to worry," Audrey said, suppressing her excitement.
"The Nightmare King only hunts evil pirates; he has never attacked ordinary merchant ships or passenger ships, has he?"

"From this perspective, he is actually a good person."

Mom and Dad, you have no idea about the Nightmare King!
“Audrey, this is a vicious criminal who killed the Archbishop of the Church of War, not a romantic story from an adventure novel.”

The Countess felt that her beloved daughter's thoughts were somewhat dangerous.

“I know, Mom, but we are all believers in the goddess,” Audrey argued.

Count and Countess Hall remained silent. From the perspective of the goddess's believers, such a loss to the Church of the God of War was indeed a good thing.

“Audrey, do not explain the Nightmare King in public,” Earl Hall instructed.

“Okay, Daddy.” Audrey nodded obediently, but her mind was already on the next tarot session.

I really want to meet the Nightmare King of our Tarot Club right now!
"Fortunately, we live in Backlund, far from the treacherous sea, so we won't encounter those pirate kings and generals."

No, no, no, Mom and Dad, the King of Nightmares actually lives right next door to us. He is a handsome gentleman and has a lovely little sister.

And don't worry about the family's shipping business; I'll pass a message to the Nightmare King and ask him to take care of us.

That's the power of Audrey!
Today, the Tarot Society takes pride in the Emperor.

……

Qin Sheng looked at the white bone bracelet made of feathers in his hand. This was the magical item on Archbishop Ivan, corresponding to the Undead of the Corpse Collector Path Sequence 4.

The immortals possess extremely long lifespans. The only drawback is that this immortality is not eternal. Instead, they die and are resurrected every sixty years, forgetting most of their past memories, which they need to slowly recover to start a new life.

He had already prayed to the Goddess of Night, asking her to deal with the negative effects of the Undead Bracelet and suppress them as much as possible.

This exchange resulted in the Church of War losing two demigods.

“Are we going to stay on the sea forever?” Isa asked.

"No, I'm creating a spell, and once it's finished, I can return to Backlund."

Qin Sheng couldn't stay adrift at sea forever, and the Azathoth couldn't possibly sail back to Backlund.

When the pirate king sails into the capital of Rune, that's an uprising.

Within the Undead Bracelet lies a demigod spirit. Qin Sheng plans to use magic to imbue a portion of his spirit and consciousness into the spirit's body, then possess a physical form, thus carrying the Mask of Fear and controlling the Azathoth.

In this way, Qin Sheng himself would not be restricted to the sea.

Qin Sheng looked at Isa and said, "If you can reach Sequence 5, then the archbishop's extraordinary characteristics can be left to you."

No matter how good a mystic puppet is, it is still not as good as a living demigod. Besides, when Isha can take Sequence 4 potions, Qin Sheng will not lack a demigod puppet.

Isa nodded; she had already decided to spend the rest of her life by Qin Sheng and his sister's side, dedicating herself to them.

While Qin Sheng was engrossed in creating magic, Bernadette arrived on his ship.

"Beibei, what's wrong?"

Bernadette stated succinctly, "I have discovered the whereabouts of Evelyn, one of the Ten Pillars of the Morse Order, who is a master of prophecy."

Qin Sheng's eyes lit up. A living master of prophecy must possess extraordinary characteristics.

The Ten Pillars of the Moss Penitentiary, whose status is similar to that of the archbishops of the church, are all absolute leaders of the organization.

"What kind of person is Evelyn?"

“I have already undergone the transformation by the Hidden Sage,” Bebe replied.

Qin Sheng nodded, which meant that he had fallen and become a lackey of the evil god, so there was no problem.

"Why did you set your sights on the Morse Penitentiary? I remember you said before that it would attract the attention of the Hidden Sages."

Bernadette gently shook her head. "That was before. Now you are the chosen one of the night, so you don't need to worry about that anymore."

Indeed, with the goddess's hidden authority protecting them, even the most sages could be deceived.

“I haven’t pinpointed her exact location yet; it will take some time,” Bernadette added.

"Your chance to advance to Sage status in Tingen is fast approaching... Here's what we'll do: I'll personally retrieve the Prophet Master's trait," Qin Sheng said.
"You just need to keep an eye on Tingen."

Uncle Qin is incredibly good to his eldest niece.

Bernadette had no objection, but she reminded Qin Sheng of something.

"The ascension ceremony of a master prophet involves collecting a vast amount of information, analyzing, deducing, and divining to predict a certain event that will occur three years later, which must involve a demigod, and ultimately witnessing its fulfillment."

"Throughout the process, we cannot rely on external forces, nor can we directly push things to happen; we can only guide them indirectly."

"Don't worry about the ceremony, I've already made preparations," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
“Tinggen is both your ritual and my ritual, and I did not drive what happened there.”

Bernadette: "But the ceremony has a three-year time limit."

This is actually the most difficult part, because as time goes on, anything can happen, and no one can guarantee that the future will develop as they expect.

However, promotions that require time can be achieved by taking shortcuts, such as fooling people about time.

But Qin Sheng doesn't need it.

The true divine intervention of the Creator in Tingen was something the enigmatic Qin Sheng had "foretold" since childhood...

They are all the same person, so the effects of this ritual are naturally shared.

"Don't worry, no one understands prophecy better than me," Qin Sheng said confidently.

"But my Occultist's Potion hasn't been fully digested yet."

The most crucial element of playing a mystic is absorbing a large amount of mystical knowledge, which Qin Sheng meets, but it is not the only requirement.

Therefore, Qin Sheng has digested most of the magic potion, with only a few "stubborn elements" remaining.

Bernadette's eyes widened in surprise. "You also need to digest potions?"

"Beibei, you have a deep misunderstanding about me. I am really just an ordinary person." Qin Sheng changed the subject.

"But you're right, it's okay to get promoted first and then digest the experience later, there's no need to be so rigid."

Afterwards, Qin Sheng focused his voyeuristic gaze on Bernadette, and what Bernadette saw was what Qin Sheng saw.

In this way, when she stopped the descent of the gods, Qin Sheng also witnessed the fulfillment of the prophecy, thus satisfying the conditions of the ritual.

"Are you sure you want to use your voyeuristic eyes to witness the divine descent of the true creator?" Bernadette asked in a strange tone.

"Is there a problem? I know you shouldn't look directly at God," Qin Sheng said matter-of-factly.
"But I want to see it."

Bernadette: "..."

You still say you're an ordinary person?
