Mystery: A Spark

As a writer with some fame, she has a rich imagination and quickly remembered the name that Xiao Taiyang had mentioned before, which was written on the mural.

“Redemption Rose? But we know nothing about this organization.” Audrey’s gaze involuntarily turned to the chariot.

She remembered that Mr. Chariot had warned them not to investigate the organization.

But now that we've encountered a predicament related to this organization, Mr. Chariot will probably reveal some information, right?

As expected, Mr. Chariot considered for a moment before speaking:

"As far as I know, there are indeed beings within the Rose of Redemption who possess time-related powers, but I don't know if what Little Sun and the others encountered was a remnant of that being's power."

Derrick pondered for a moment and then said:

"If we were to say something, there are indeed many strange things in the murals we see."

At that moment, with Mr. Fool's consent, Derrick materialized a series of images he could recall, presenting the exploration process and what he considered to be the key points in a fragmented manner to the Tarot Club members, and then supplementing it with some explanation.

Under his explanation, a picture scroll filled with eeriness, darkness, and terror slowly unfolded before everyone.

Inside, there are ancient temples, statues of gods hanging upside down on black crosses, a series of murals depicting a "fallen creator" bearing the sins of humanity, and exceptionally alluring beautiful "mushrooms".

In addition, there were scenes such as an altar with the eerily open eyes of a deity statue, and a blond boy named Jack hiding in the back, which made the Tarot group members feel both nervous and curious.

"Which evil gods are these?" Alger looked at the six evil gods that the Fallen Creator was fighting against, and some inexplicable thoughts came to mind.

"The Sun" Derrick honestly shook his head:

"I didn't know; I thought you two knew each other."

“I’ve seen similar ones.” Without mincing words, Arthur directly showed the corrupted versions of the Six Gods statues and their corresponding holy symbols that he had seen in the underground ruins.

The other members quickly recognized the statues; some were angry, some were surprised, and some looked enlightened.

"So the murals depict the distorted images of the six gods. They really did have human forms..." Alger suddenly understood why the major churches had been trying to find the Forsaken Land.

Chapter 184 The Panicked Fool and the Emo Leader Bai Zao

Seeing the various expressions on the faces of the other members of the Tarot Club because of these corrupted statues, Arthur waved his hand and said:

"There's no need to pay too much attention to these things. It's only natural that the true Creator, who is at odds with the six gods, would distort their image."

"In my opinion, the real key point should be that painting."

Following Arthur's gaze, everyone saw a scene depicting a silver-haired man leading a group toward a cross and an upside-down figure on a distant mountain.

The man had long silver hair that reached his back, soft features, a lowered head, closed eyes, and layers of radiant wings behind him.

I did see this mural before, and I even guessed that the leader might be a legendary angel, but I didn't find anything unusual... Derrick looked at Arthur with some confusion.

"Mr. Chariot, is this silver-haired angel a member of the Rose of Redemption? Which one is He?" Audrey asked with some surprise.

It's surprising that there's an angel among the members of Redemption Rose; no wonder Mr. Chariot told us not to investigate.

“He is Urolius, the angel of fate, the king of angels who has passed through monster paths,” Arthur said quietly, looking at the mural.

But what he was thinking at that moment was that the golden-haired priest did have good taste; all the men under his command were this kind of handsome men.

But why are there only handsome men and no beautiful women?

Yes, this is a question that deserves a lot of thought.

Another thing is that Arthur suddenly noticed that the eight angel kings of the ancient sun god all seemed to have different hair colors.

For example, Amon has black hair, Adam has blond hair, the serpent has silver hair, Medici has red hair, and so on.

Goodness, this could practically form a rainbow boy... no, I mean a rainbow youth group.

Arthur wondered if the Russian priest had been influenced by some kind of "Shamate" culture before he time-traveled, otherwise why would he make his subordinates' hair colors so colorful...

What's this guy thinking? Why does he look so happy...? Klein looked at Arthur with a puzzled expression, unable to understand what was making him so happy.

He turned his gaze to the silver-haired angel, feeling a surge of emotion. This was probably the highest-ranking being he knew of besides the Seven Gods.

"What is the King of Angels?" Audrey asked curiously.

"Those are beings who are closer to the throne of God than other angels, and are called the King of Angels. The reason why the Redemption Rose organization is more terrifying than other organizations and needs to be treated with more caution is because all of its members are Kings of Angels," Arthur explained simply.

Hiss~ Everyone gasped, but unfortunately it had no effect on the temperature on Source Castle.

I thought this organization was a pyramid structure composed of a few extraordinary strongmen leading other slightly weaker members. I never imagined it was an organization made up entirely of angel kings... Klein maintained his outward calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

“Mr. Chariot, now that we know we’ve encountered the remnants of this Angel of Fate, does that mean we have any hope of escaping this predicament?” Derrick asked with some anticipation.

“Well, if it was this Angel of Fate who took action personally, then you would definitely have no chance of resisting.” Arthur nodded, then changed the subject, “But if it’s just the residual power affecting you, then it must be caused by some item or creature you encountered along your journey.”

"After you go back, you should pay close attention to this mural. It would be best to discuss it with your chief. After all, as the chief of your Silver City, I think he should also have a lot of secret mystical knowledge, which may include some information about this Angel of Fate."

"Actually, I don't know much about this angel of fate."

Having said that, Arthur turned his gaze to the head of the bronze table, thinking to himself that it was time for Mr. Fool to put on his show.

After all, he couldn't possibly put on such a show all by himself; he had to leave some for Mr. Fool.

As Arthur turned his gaze to the head of the bronze table, everyone else followed suit and looked toward the Fool.

However, Klein, who was being watched by everyone, was not flustered at all, because he knew the answer to this question.

Previously, he had learned from Roselle's diary that the first sequence of the Monster Path was called Mercury Serpent.

Recently, while helping Dr. Allen interpret his dreams, he learned that the child named Will Unsettin was likely related to the Mercury Serpent.

Later, after entering Dr. Allen's dream, he witnessed Will Unsett being so frightened that he scattered his tarot cards all over the floor, leaving only the "Wheel of Fortune" card.

Klein then performed a dream divination regarding Will Onsett's location, receiving revelations from the ouroboros and the sound of flowing water.

Furthermore, considering that the incident involving Little Sun was related to a mercury serpent, Klein was able to confirm some things.

Thinking of this, the "Fool," sitting upright in his high-backed chair, leisurely adjusted his posture, lightly tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, and chuckled softly, saying:

"This should be a mercury serpent. Or more accurately, an ouroboros."

Mercury Serpent? Ouroboros? Is this the name of the Monster Path Sequence 1? It sounds... well, to use the words of Emperor Roselle, pretty cool... Audrey felt instantly struck by the name.

“Ouroboros… I think I understand now.” Arthur pondered for a moment, then looked at Little Sun and said, “In mystical terms, ouroboros symbolizes cycles and restarts, which is very similar to the situation you’re facing.”

“I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Fool and everyone else,” Derrick said gratefully.

With these clues, Derrick was confident that he could escape this time-traveling predicament after going back and discussing it with the chief.

However, he quickly seemed to remember something and asked:

"By the way, have you ever heard of someone named Amon?"

Amon? Klein thought for a moment and then remembered the source of the familiarity.

But he didn't rush to answer. Instead, he turned his gaze to the "Hanged Man." He knew very well that this mid-level member of the Church of Storms also knew "Ammon," and perhaps even knew more about him than he did.

Similarly, "Justice" Audrey looked at "The Hanged Man," the very name she had heard from him last time.

However, Alger did not answer the question, but instead asked in return:

"Why do you ask that question?"

Arthur also looked at Derrick, wanting to see what was going on with the guy who had been squatting in the Silver City dungeon under his influence.

Derrick didn't hide anything and said:

"As you know, our chief spent some time in the dungeon because he was away for too long."

The word "squat" is used well... Klein gave it a mental thumbs up.

“After we came out, the chief told me something during a casual chat.” Derrick said in a declarative tone, “Forty-two years ago, an exploration team encountered a man who called himself Amon in the depths of darkness. After returning to Silver City, they all went insane and out of control, leaving only one survivor who was imprisoned at the bottom of the Round Tower. And not long ago, this sole survivor also died.”

"How did he die?" Fors had already conjured up a series of bizarre stories in his mind.

However, what Derrick said next took her by surprise.

Derrick pursed his lips and said in a low voice:

"He was killed by our chief after he turned into a monster, because that person was the chief's brother. Only those who are killed by their own blood relatives will not turn into evil spirits."

There was a moment of silence above the gray fog.

Arthur raised an eyebrow, feeling that the result was somewhat unexpected, yet strangely reasonable.

When he heard that Colin was going to the dungeon last time, he wondered if Colin might have discovered the Amon problem after being promoted to Demon Hunter.

Although the one in Silver City was just an avatar, its strength wasn't very high, probably only at the Sequence 5 or Sequence 6 level. After all, it was easily dealt with by Colin in the original story.

However, because the parasites themselves are highly elusive and difficult to detect, Arthur didn't really have much hope for them.

Now that he heard that Colin had actually dealt with the hidden danger, Arthur became curious.

"What extraordinary creature did your chief use to become a Demon Hunter?"

“It’s the devil,” Derrick answered truthfully.

The devil? Could it be...? A certain possibility surfaced in Arthur's mind.

What were they talking about? Fors, unaware of the details, was completely confused.

The others didn't understand what the chariot and the sun were talking about either. Only Klein vaguely guessed something, because that incomplete secret technique had reached the Forsaken Land through him.

However, seeing that Arthur seemed unwilling to reveal too much, Klein didn't say anything more.

He couldn't say anything more, since the "world" hadn't even been born yet, and the identity of the "Fool" was clearly not suitable for such gossipy behavior.

"You just said... your chief told you about this during a casual chat?" Alger asked, frowning.

“Yes.” Derrick nodded.

“Is there something wrong with this, Mr. Hanged Man?” Audrey asked, somewhat puzzled.

Alger glanced at Arthur, and seeing that he didn't seem inclined to say anything, he explained:

"Back then, thanks to the plan given by Mr. Chariot, Silver City, where Little Sun was located, was arguably the only extraordinary organization that knew about our Tarot Club. Under these circumstances, what their leader said to Little Sun could no longer be simply regarded as casual conversation."

“We all know that the situation in Silver City is extremely critical, almost to the point of despair. As the leader of Silver City, their chief is certainly not very busy, let alone have much free time. Why would he specifically take time out to chat with Little Sun?”

What the hell? Aren't we a secret organization? Why is someone revealing their identity so openly? Fors looked at the Hanged Man with some surprise, then at Arthur.

In the previous Tarot meetings, Little Sun did speak, but it was mostly about trading materials or information, so Fors did not realize Little Sun's situation in Silver City or anything special about him.

But now it seems that the Silver City where Little Sun is located knows that he participated in the Tarot Society, a secret organization.

Is this even possible? The sun wasn't even suspected? And it seems this was Arthur's idea. Is this what he meant by "sincerity is the best weapon"? Fors felt like he had a sudden realization.
