Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 411 It the Clown

Evelyn, one of the Ten Pillars of the Morse Order, is a mature woman with a cold expression, dressed in a nun's habit.

She possessed both the holiness of a priest and the nobility of a noblewoman.

When Qin Sheng appeared before her, Evelyn's expression remained unchanged, but she was very surprised.

A demigod, he was probably after me. My intuition gave no warning, and I failed to "foresee" this future...

There is interference from a higher level of power!

As one of the Ten Pillars of Morse, she possessed a long lifespan and profound knowledge of occultism, allowing her to quickly make a simple assessment of the current situation.

The visitor is not good.

"Who are you?" Evelyn asked.

At the same time, she was calling upon the hidden sage, trying to ask for the watchful eye of the gods.

This was naturally a failure. The goddess's hidden authority rendered this place nonexistent. Unless the Hidden Sage truly ascends to Sequence 0, "peeping" cannot break through "secrets".

Restraint is also relative.

"Who I am is not important." Qin Sheng looked at Evelyn.

"The extraordinary nature of the prophet within you is the most important."

After the Hermit's uniqueness was activated and influenced everyone from top to bottom, there were still ascetics in the Morse Order who, under the infusion of the Hermit's knowledge, had always adhered to their principles. They were not completely evil cultists.

But those who have undergone the transformation by the Hidden Sage are beyond redemption.

Evelyn, standing before us, is just like that.

"You need the extraordinary qualities of a prophet?" Evelyn smiled.

“I know where to find its potion ingredients, so there’s no need for us to fight over it. To show my sincerity, I can give you the Prophet’s auxiliary materials first.”

As she spoke, she actually produced the materials.

Qin Sheng listened quietly to Evelyn's words, and shook his head after she finished speaking.

"It seems you possess a magical artifact of the lawyer's path: 'bribery,' 'seduction,' 'corruption'... truly a born wicked follower of an evil god."

Qin Sheng could feel an invisible, twisting force acting on him when Evelyn spoke.

"Charm" will make you feel good about her and make it difficult for you to feel hostility towards her.

"Corruption" darkens one's heart, makes one greedy, and makes one prone to making irrational choices.

If the "bribery" succeeds, meaning Qin Sheng only needs to accept her potion ingredients, then his abilities will be directly weakened.

This is the lawyer's approach, which is adept at exploiting loopholes and creating favorable environments and situations by distorting the rules.

Unfortunately, neither "corruption" nor "seduction" could shake Qin Sheng's will and mind.

Qin Sheng approached Evelyn, stepping on starlight. She no longer pretended and gave a cold smile.

"So he's just a mystic. How dare he hunt me down all by himself!"

The prophet is in my favor against the mystic!

A giant appeared, and collapsed with a crash in the afterglow of the setting sun, spreading the power of death.

As a devout follower of the Hidden Sage, Evelyn possesses a wealth of knowledge, enough to allow her to maximize the power of "mystical reappearance."

At the same time, Evelyn used magical items obtained through legal channels to amplify her magical power.

"Since being promoted to Rank 4, there's a skill I've always wanted to try out, but I haven't had the chance yet. Today should be a good opportunity..."

Before Qin Sheng could finish speaking, his human form vanished from the spot, replaced by a black mass covered in eyes.

Mystical creature forms as described by occultists!
This is one of the fundamental reasons why high-sequence beings are called demigods. Each demigod initially possesses an incomplete mythical creature form, until they become angels and further sublimate into a complete mythical creature, at which point their human appearance ceases to be their true form.

Those of low to mid-level extraordinary ability will be contaminated and further out of control if they look directly at an incomplete mythical creature, and ordinary people will explode if they look at it.

For all demigods, this form is the most powerful, but also the last resort.

In layman's terms, this is a "Berserk" skill. Once used, it will enhance all aspects of one's abilities, but it will also inevitably cause one's sanity to begin to collapse.

Others who face this form will stare into the abyss, but you will become the abyss yourself; neither of you will have a good ending.

When a normal demigod manifests a mythical creature form, it is a symbol of risking their life. Only a few, like the audience, have the ability to briefly control this form and make it relatively normal.

But Qin Sheng felt better than ever before. All the shackles were gone, and he remained rational and clear-headed, showing no signs of going crazy or losing control.

The power was surging, increasing rapidly, and exploding, as if some kind of genetic lock had been unlocked.

In contrast, there is Evelyn, who is not so good.

"You're a madman!" Evelyn's voice was shrill.

Whose demigod would transform into a mythical creature and start fighting as soon as they meet?!

Evelyn immediately cast a mysterious spell to maintain her sanity, and then used the power of the magical artifact through the lawyer's pathway to "utilize" the rules, allowing her current good condition to be prolonged.

Then, she was also forced to activate her mythical creature form, which was like an arms race that she couldn't avoid.

However, the advantage of mystics is that, if they have enough knowledge, they can create magic that allows them to remain conscious in this form for the time being.

The t0 in sequence 4 is not just a figure of speech.

The most intense, primal, and frenzied battle has broken out.

This is a battle where reason is at stake.

Hmm... we're betting on Evelyn's rationality, not Qin Sheng's.

Qin Sheng felt exhilarated, as if he had been trapped in a cage for a long time and had returned to nature.

In order to experience this state for a longer time, he even deliberately restrained his power beforehand, afraid of killing Evelyn with one move.

Unfortunately, Evelyn's time was ultimately limited. Before she could show any signs of losing control, an ancient-looking spear, with clusters of dark red light burning from its tip to its hilt, appeared and pierced her.

Magic: Spear of Longinus.

"That was a really tough battle."

Qin Sheng returned to human form, still feeling unsatisfied. "Although it still didn't satisfy me, you did much better than Archbishop Ivan."

Perhaps when Qin Sheng faces the gods in the future, the gods may not be able to hold out as long as Evelyn is right now.

After collecting his spoils, Qin Sheng offered them as a sacrifice to the goddess, asking her to process them and bestow them upon him later.

This also prevents the Hidden Sage from using the extraordinary characteristics of his followers to pursue Qin Sheng.

"That's it."

Tingen City.

Bernadette shattered the magical "Sage's Forehead Ornament," extracted its extraordinary properties, added various auxiliary materials, and concocted a Sage's Potion.

It is indeed possible to directly consume extraordinary traits, but if conditions permit, replenishing the potion ingredients is the best option.

The Sage's Potion kept bubbling, and on each bubble was a transparent eye, empty and indifferent.

"Beibei, it's time to take your medicine," Qin Sheng's voice rang out.

A pair of eyes fell from Bernadette's neck, bouncing in the air; these were Qin Sheng's Eyes of Secrets.

Bernadette nodded and drank it down without hesitation.

Her clothes, flesh and blood, and spirit all became illusory at a visible speed, decomposing into a vast amount of knowledge and transforming into the form of information.

This information interacts with the basic information that makes up all things in the outside world, and the latter washes away the former.

If one fails to reorganize their cognition and return to their true self during this short period, it means that the promotion has failed.

However, Bernadette's accumulation of resources was sufficient, the ceremony was perfect, and people from places like Dawn continuously prayed, which served as "anchors" for Bernadette, stabilizing her condition.

With the goddess's protection, even the hidden sage couldn't interfere with her, so everything went smoothly.

Bernadette's true form reappeared, and she suppressed the resurgent will within the potion, achieving a balance between humanity and divinity.

Qin Sheng's eyes darted back to Bernadette's shoulder, a smile playing on his lips.

"Congratulations, Sage Bebe."

Ascending to the angelic realm—in the mystical world, this can be described as a truly hidden existence, deserving the title "He".

If it were the Second Age, Bernadette would already be entitled to the title of a god.

“This is all thanks to your help.” Bernadette’s expression grew increasingly calm and indifferent. At this stage, humanity once again began to slip away uncontrollably. “No need to thank me, don’t be so polite. You’re my only niece, who else would I help if not you?” Qin Sheng’s eyes jumped to Bernadette’s head.

“Beibei, you are the only family member in this world who is not related to me by blood.”

Angel Beibei's expression changed; she was no longer indifferent, but rather somewhat helpless.

"I envy your humanity."

"Envious? Then watch carefully and learn from it."

"Now can you tell me those things that only angels can know?" Bernadette asked expectantly.

Dad, I finally understand what you went through back then.

"Of course, that's knowledge about the stars, the Outer Gods, and the Old Ones, but there's something else before that."

Qin Shengzhi's eyes shifted, "I need you to take good care of the great writer Ince Zangwell."

The fool is dead.

……

The fool was delighted.

Nighttime, Raphael Cemetery.

Qin Sheng, who had returned from the Southern Continent, arrived here under the cover of night. After searching, he came to a tomb.

The tombstone bears a photo of Klein and three lines of epitaph.

"The best brother."

"The best younger brother."

"The best colleague."

In front of the tombstone, there is a bouquet of flowers and a bronze whistle.

The night watchman and the evil god's offspring clashed, while the others were either injured or in poor mental condition, and only the fool died violently.

"Azik seems to have just left, so it's about time," Qin Sheng thought to himself.

"Rise, my fool!"

Boom!
The stone slab sealing the burial pit was pushed aside, and a pale hand, still covered in dirt, reached out from inside.

"God is dead, demon is destroyed..." Qin Sheng solemnly recited in his mind.

The coffin was pushed open, and Klein sat up. He looked around blankly. "I remember fainting after the birth of the evil god's offspring. Where am I..."

On Klein's chest, the wound was gruesome, revealing a chunk of his heart, which was wriggling and healing.

After his previous outrageous idea, Klein has once again opened up his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Klein saw the black figure standing in front of him, and after seeing the face clearly, his mind went blank.

Mr. Noah?

"Klein, you are dead," Qin Sheng said solemnly.

"But now you've been resurrected... Confess."

Looking down at his chest, Klein confirmed that he had probably really died again.

Being resurrected from the dead is something to be happy about, and it seems like I'll have one or two more chances to be resurrected, which is double the joy.

But Klein is not happy at all right now.

Oh no, the goddess's chosen one has discovered me, and I'm going to be burned at the stake.

“Mr. Noah, no, Your Excellency, I don’t know what’s going on either,” Klein explained bitterly.

"I don't even know how I died, and my resurrection is beyond my expectations... What on earth happened?"

"The birth of the evil god's offspring nearly destroyed Tingen. Although the disaster was ultimately averted, you also sacrificed yourself in the process," Qin Sheng said succinctly.

"I died at the hands of the evil god's offspring? How are the captain and the others?" Klein asked nervously.

“You are the only victim.” Qin Sheng shook his head.

"It was the church traitor Ince Zangwell who killed you. He seemed to have a particular hatred for you, and even under the tight time constraints, he was determined to take your life."

“I don’t even know him.” Klein vaguely knew why this was, most likely because he had ruined the traitor’s plans.

"After learning of your death, I rushed back to Tingen, and then..." Qin Sheng stared at Klein's chest and said meaningfully:

"This is something that could alarm the entire church."

Klein racked his brains frantically, trying to find a solution, but he couldn't come up with a way out no matter how hard he tried.

Using force definitely won't work.

Mr. Emperor is an extraordinary being capable of hunting Sequence 3 beings. He possesses powerful magical artifacts and is also favored by a goddess.

I'm just a Sequence 8 clown, how can I fight a demigod?

That would really make you a clown.

Should I reveal my identity as a fool? Or should I say that I am a follower of the fool?
But they're still heretics!

"Klein, you wouldn't happen to be connected to some mysterious entity, would you?" Qin Sheng suddenly asked.

"Why do you say that?" Klein's heart skipped a beat.

"Your sequence is too low, your knowledge too limited, and your experience too shallow. You don't know that some higher sequences possess the ability to resurrect."

Qin Sheng sized up Klein as if he were looking at some rare animal.

"Sequence 8 itself cannot be resurrected, so there is only one truth to this matter."

"What are you going to do? Arrest me and take me back to the church?" Klein asked, his voice strained.

He was already considering whether he could survive by sincerely repenting under the goddess's holy emblem.

"Get up first."

Klein let out a soft breath, climbed out of the coffin, and asked a question.

"Which pathways allow high-order sequences to be resurrected?"

“My spy, and your colleague’s corpse collector, sleepless one, and… your fortune teller.”

When Qin Sheng spoke of the diviner, his voice became more forceful, no longer a hint but a direct statement.

Klein recalled something: at the Tarot gathering, Qin Sheng had said that no one understood the methods of fortune-telling better than Mr. Fool. Could it be...?

Has the Emperor already suspected that I am connected with the Fool?

Klein was in turmoil and fell silent.

Qin Sheng turned around, his back to Klein, and said:
“Go home and see Benson and Melissa. They’re waiting for you, but make them keep your affairs a secret. After that, you’re leaving Tingen.”

"Mr. Noah, you're willing to let me go?" Klein asked in surprise.

“Everyone has their own secrets. Your colleague Leonard has one, you have one, and I have one too.” Qin Sheng said with his back to the Fool.

"As long as you haven't done anything evil, haven't fallen into depravity, and haven't lost control, I can let you go this time."

“You are the hero of the Night Watch. I will not lay a hand on a hero. This is also the will of the goddess.”

Upon hearing this, Klein was filled with mixed emotions and deeply moved.

I'm just a lowly night watchman; the goddess doesn't even know my name. How could she possibly send down a divine decree to let me leave?

Without a doubt, this was Mr. Noah "falsely conveying a royal decree," deliberately giving me an opportunity.

Just because I might have some connection with Mr. Fool, I'm willing to defy the gods...

This is enough to show that in the Emperor's heart, the Fool held a higher position than the Goddess.

The Tarot Club's Number One Loyal Servant!
Klein made up his mind and said:
"Mr. Noah, do you know the Fool?"

Qin Sheng: "..."

I know, the Fool is talking to me about the Fool.
