Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 557 Amon's Snacks

Fortunately, the world isn't that crazy yet.

The "Blood Emperor" wasn't there to fight; He was there to collect the scraps. As for the fighting, that was naturally left to His insect subordinates.

As for the three dukes of the Gui San family, who were originally hiding in Backlund and waiting to see what would happen, they were all embarrassed when their boss came to their door in person. They whistled and quietly slipped back to Trier. As for betraying Tudor and His Majesty the Emperor at this time?

Of the original five dukes, only three remain. These three are all magnanimous heroes, so how could they possibly hold a grudge against the Blood Emperor, who looks furious now? In short, betraying the empire is out of the question. For now, they should obediently return to Trier and take over two border cities of the Tronsost Empire to report back.

The most prominent feature is loyalty.

The Blood Emperor didn't stand on ceremony with the three dukes, drawing out three routes and letting them decide for themselves.

As for why the war hasn't stopped?

How could this possibly stop so easily, especially at this time?

At present, the Terensost Empire is exhausted, the emperor is weak and powerless, and the gods are ineffective. At this time, it is time to strike hard!

"Where has Palez Zoroaster gone?!"

Here, Amon received the task, but since he is Amon, he naturally has his own test-taking skills.

The entire Amon family is loyal and brave. In response to the empire's call, even the elderly, women and children of the family went to the front lines. What a spirit of sacrifice! The Amons have all gone, so it's only reasonable for them to take a break, right?

Even now, Amon has not given up on finding Palez Zoroaster. The experience of being tricked instead of finding the guy before still bothers Amon, and he is always thinking about getting revenge in the future.

Amon never gave up the search. His previous trip to the Terensost Empire was partly motivated by the idea that the more dangerous the place, the safer it was, and the more likely he was to find something unexpected.

Although Jacob's mutation caused a slight delay, things are different now...

Jacob is dead, so where can that little rascal Zoroaster hide?

At this time, Amon, who had replaced one of Pales's descendants, finally found some clues after a hard-fought search.

Yes, Pales finally had a chance to see the light of day again after Jacob's death. Anyone who has played hide-and-seek knows that if you manage to escape the sacrifice and stay where you are, it is a suicidal act of waiting for the hunter to return. The brave insect will only choose to crawl into the darkness of the outside world.

Ok?

Amon discovers, Amon observes, Amon probes.

Strange, the feel is a bit off, and wait, this doesn't seem to be at the Sequence 1 level.

This struggling worm seemed to have suffered serious injuries, and the way it fought it didn't feel like fighting a Sequence 1 Time Worm, but rather like fighting a Sequence 2 Destiny Trojan Horse. It had quite a few tricks up its sleeve, but to the God of Mischief, they were just child's play, and He wouldn't be easily fooled.

After a game of cat and mouse.

Huh~

"Out of options, right? Pales, I didn't expect that Jacob would be so kind. He only took away your Time Worm ability and didn't take your life."

After all, he's just a Sequence 2 noob, so isn't he easy for Amon to manipulate?

"Amon" pinched his monocle, looked at Palez Zoroaster in his hand who was struggling desperately, gradually weakening, and finally seemed to have given up in despair.

"Well, it's just a Sequence 2, so I might let you off the hook."

"Amon" smiled, as if he was open to negotiation, while the poor angel in his sleeve showed a slight reaction, as if he wanted to believe it, but in the end he didn't do anything, obviously not believing Amon's nonsense.

"Boring."

Why are young people these days like seasoned veterans who've been beaten down by society? They don't believe in miracles at all.

Feeling bored, "Amon" opened his mouth and casually ate Zoroaster.

He still had to eat it. The characteristics of a Sequence 2 item were secondary. What Amon really wanted to know was how this guy had been playing hide-and-seek, when Jacob had caught him, and what had happened afterward.

He was quite curious, and besides, he still needed to find the last of the Time Worm's traits.

I chewed it symbolically twice, and it crunched.

"Amon" took off his monocle, wiped it, and then put the monocle on his other eye socket.

"It's true... it came back to life."

Amon... no... Mr. Jacob gave a relieved smile.

"Thank goodness... I knew we could at least sit down and have a proper talk."

The smile contained a hint of relief. From His body, another Amon emerged, and this Amon wore the same monocle on his face as before.

However, the sequence that Amon belongs to is sequence 1, and it also has a sequence 1 clone.

This Sequence 1 characteristic is naturally the same as the Sequence 2 characteristic of Zoroaster that Amon just ate.

Jacob, after barely surviving, still borrowed the characteristics of the Time Worm from Zoroaster, along with a matching identity and destiny. He then disguised himself as Zoroaster, waiting for Amon to devour him. Of the 2+1 within Amon, one portion belonged to Jacob.

In the first half of the old days, he was merely taking advantage of a careless angel king.

As for why Amon identified the characteristics of Sequence 1 as those of Sequence 2, and why the three plus one had not yet been able to coalesce into a god, it was because this was only a small part of Sequence 1, and was not complete at all. Jacob had only taken a little power to fill the gap.

"Fortunately, Amon is a kind-hearted person."

Jacob was quite relieved about this, after all, the Hermit had really bombed him before, almost killing him to the point of being reduced to ashes, and he couldn't even be resurrected. The Source Castle was also damaged by the impact, and if they had faced each other head-on, it was not certain that they could have taken down Amon without making a sound.

We still need to launch a sneak attack; we should thank Amon for having a gluttonous habit.

Hmm... that's probably quite reasonable. After all, the original timeline's fate was that during the war between the Four Emperors, Amon quietly ate Jacob at some unknown time. Amon had already eaten Jacob's Time Worm ability before, so it's just a matter of eating him again. It makes perfect sense.

"Old Lamp, thank goodness you were there, I almost died."

After the half of Sequence 1's "Amon clone" disappeared, "Jacob" happily took out the wishing lamp. The surface of the brass lamp body was obviously worn, and there were some traces of it being reassembled.

Despite the Hermit's bombing, he was still omniscient, and he was quite clear about what was happening in Ternshorst.

In the end, we still need to retrieve the Genie.

It would be a huge disgrace to the Gui San family to let this guy gain even the slightest advantage.
