Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 54 The Temple of Sunset and Twilight, Arrodes and the Blood Emblem

Amon's tone was mocking, as if he were talking about someone who was a complete stranger and had no connection to him.

On the contrary, he became very familiar with Klein, as if they were sworn brothers.

"You weren't having such a relaxed and comfortable time as Amon's toy in the Forsaken Land."

Li Qianyi couldn't help but think to himself.

Klein Moretti looked up and chuckled, "I feel like you're thinking something very rude."

"He clearly respects you a lot," Amon said slowly, "just like he respects me."

Li Qianyi's lips twitched; his innermost thoughts had been heard.

"I can't read minds; that's something the audience is good at."

Klein laughed and said, "I only know how to read faces, but your expression has completely given you away."

This is no different from mind reading, Li Qianyi couldn't help but think to himself.

"Well then, without further ado, young guest, please tell me your question."

Klein Moretti picked up a mirror from the side.

Li Qianyi paused for a moment, then said, "I want to know where Mrs. Eleanor's son, Adam, is located?"

"Are you sure it's this one?"

"Yes."

Then he saw Klein place his hand on the mirror, his voice low and cryptic, saying, "Magic mirror on the wall, magic mirror on the wall, where is Lady Eleanor's son?"

"My most beloved master is here," a very obsequious voice rang out.

It's it!

Arodes!

This thought arose in Li Qianyi's mind.

At the same time, a strange change occurred on the surface of the mirror, revealing a scene.

It was a dimly lit palace, at the very top of which was a figure with a chaotic face and wearing a long robe.

Below the figure is an inverted cross.

A naked boy with light blond hair was hanging upside down on a dark cross, his face contorted in pain.

Blood covered half of his face, making it difficult to see his features clearly.

Adam!

But when Li Qianyi saw Amon's calm expression, as if the other party was looking at a stranger, another thought arose in his mind.

"Adam is not Adam!"

You have found traces of 'Adam'.

【The Palace of Sunset and Twilight】

"The Palace of Sunset and Twilight?"

This was the first time Li Qianyi had heard of this place, and he couldn't help but ask, "Where is this?"

You'll find out.

Klein Moretti smiled as he put the mirror away.

"Do fortune tellers want to beat up every single one they see?" Amon said with a smile, wiping his monocle.

Li Qianyi dared not speak.

Klein Moretti seemed not to hear him. He looked up as if looking at something. "It looks like tonight is going to be quite lively."

He looked at Li Qianyi and said with a smile, "Looks like it won't be a peaceful night."

As he spoke, Klein reached out and beckoned to Li Qianyi.

A mask, entirely white except for a black and yellow yin-yang symbol on its forehead, appeared in his hand.

"Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Face".

Li Qianyi was somewhat puzzled, wondering what was going on.

But then a flash of light appeared.

"That should be about right."

The mask quickly returned to Li Qianyi's hands.

But he noticed that the information in front of him was constantly being updated.

[Due to the blessing of Klein Moretti, the Lord of Mysteries]

【『The Face of Blessing and Prosperity』(Orange - Hero) -> 『The Face of Blessing and Prosperity』(Gold - Legendary)】

【'The Face of Blessing and Prosperity' (Gold - Legendary): Wearing it will briefly allow you to be possessed by the 'Heavenly Venerable of Blessing and Prosperity'】

[Entry 1 - Root Law: To use it, you must carry a certain amount of source medium; otherwise, you will become the puppet of this mask as soon as you put it on.]

【Entry 2 - Time Limit: Limited item, lasts for 15 minutes after being worn】

[Entry 3 - Taiyi Edict: Revere the source of all changes, the law of destiny, the boundless blessings of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable, may this be done swiftly as commanded by the law]

"It's been buffed."

Apart from the time limit, all other qualifiers have disappeared, which means that there will be other variables in the "Circus Night" event.

Li Qianyi was thinking to himself, but Klein was already smiling and waving at him.

"Then, see you tomorrow night."

A notification popped up.

You are about to leave 'Paradise Lost'!

Please note that the Circus Night of Wonders will begin in 24 hours!

Li Qianyi's vision went black again.

……

Magic City.

Four Seasons Hotel, penthouse suite.

The light from the crystal chandelier was dimmed, casting an ambiguous glow on the faces of the three men on the sofa.

Marcus Wayne occupied the largest single sofa, his short, golden-brown hair gleaming coldly under the light.

He leaned back in his chair, his grey-blue eyes half-closed, like a lazy lion.

On the opposite sofa, Lucas Moran sat much more upright, his dark brown eyes watching the slowly rising bubbles in his glass, a faint, ambiguous smile playing on his thin lips.

When his female companion leaned in to talk, he just nodded perfunctorily.

Victor sat in an armchair by the window, sinking into the soft cushions, his obsidian earrings reflecting a cold light as he tilted his head.

The three of them chatted casually, teasing their partners.

The champagne bubbles burst softly, the sound like a lazy background noise.

Just then, all three of their phones vibrated almost simultaneously.

They each took out their phones, the cold white light of the screens reflecting on their three different faces, and the air suddenly became quiet.

You have initiated a special team quest, "Hunting the Blasphemers".

[Mission Description: Blasphemers have infiltrated the town of Tranquility in Paradise Lost, attempting to disrupt the celebrations of the Father and the Son's birth. As devout believers of the Father, you have been given a special mission to stop the Blasphemers.]

[Mission Requirements: During the Circus Night, kill the blasphemer '■■■■' or stop the blasphemer '■■■■' from destroying the Father God statue in the Bone Church Square.]

[Status Quest Reward: 1 Sequence 7 Potion of Your Choice]

[Quest Rewards: 5000 Divine Faith, 1 Key to the Ancient Ruins]

[Note: Divine Faith will be distributed based on contribution level. The person with the highest contribution level will receive 1 Key to the Ancient Tomb]

"go out."

Marcus's voice wasn't loud, but the undeniable pressure made his female companions stand up almost reflexively.

Lucas didn't even say a word, he just tilted his head, and the woman next to him tactfully got up.

The moment the door closed, the room fell silent, with only the low hum of the air conditioner remaining.

"There's even a reward from the Ancient Tomb."

Victor was the first to speak, his gaze quickly sweeping across the two men's faces as if trying to confirm something.

The ancient tombs, the remnants of a fallen god's kingdom.

With so many players worldwide, it's unclear whether there are even ten of them currently.

Owning it means you've joined the top tier of players.

"You received it too?" Marcus's voice was deep, his gray-blue eyes fixed on the phone screen, not looking at anyone.

"Yes."

"I want that 'Old World Tomb'," Marcus said in a deep voice, speaking first.

"But I want it too, what should I do?" Lucas gave a helpless smile, tapping his knuckles lightly on the sofa armrest.

The room fell silent, and the air seemed to grow stagnant and heavy.

"Tsk."

The two men glanced at Victor, who stood to one side, and saw a slightly mocking expression on his face.

"What's the point of you fighting amongst yourselves here?" Victor asked calmly.

"The reward of an ancient tomb suggests that even the Father God encountered a problem that could not be easily solved. One can imagine how powerful that 'blasphemer' must have been."

"How can you be sure that we hunted him, and not that he hunted us?"

"So you're giving up?" Marcus's expression was unreadable.

"No, I mean cooperation," Victor said. "We must cooperate to accomplish this task."

"As for the final outcome, it will be arranged by the Father God. Can you really defy the Father God's will?"

This sentence eased the tense atmosphere in the air somewhat.

"This is the first time I've heard of this 'Circus Night of Wonders.' Do you have any leads?" Marcus asked in a deep voice.

"No," Victor shook his head. "Never heard of it."

"But this is at least a 'heroic' level storyline, otherwise there's no reason to give out a reward like the 'Old World Ruins'."

"Is there a possibility of an 'epic' story dungeon?" Marcus asked again.

"Unlikely." Lucas shook his head indifferently. "Currently, it is known that heroic-level story dungeons require multiple players to cooperate in order to complete them and obtain all the dungeon rewards."

"As for epic-level ones, even Gabriel hasn't encountered any clues."

Marcus frowned, then suddenly asked, "Why didn't the Father God let 'Gabriel' do it?"

Gabriel, the Pure White Child, the 'Notary' of Sequence 6, and the helmsman of the Redeemer's Ark.

He was also their immediate supervisor.

As the player who controls "Pure White Paradise," Gabriel is far more powerful than the other three, making him the best choice to deal with the blasphemer.

"So this might not be a test from the Father God," Victor said calmly.

"The Covenant of Silence is controlled by Gabriel, and perhaps God the Father wants to see more changes."

Just then, my phone vibrated again.

Three new messages popped up at the same time.

You have obtained a special item: Blood Emblem (Orange - Hero)

[Blood Emblem: An emblem adorned with patterns of blood; by using it, you can draw power from the angels beneath the Father.]

[Entry 1 - Blood Grail: Before using it, you need to kill three 18-year-old men and women, collect the first drop of blood pumped from their hearts and store it. Before use, you must smear the emblem with their blood to guide the angels to descend.]

[Entry 2 - Limited Time: Limited-time item, valid only during Circus Night]

"A blessing from angels?"

Victor's voice was even softer than before, and the light from the screen flickered in his deep brown, almost black pupils.

Marcus's breathing became noticeably heavier.

He sat up straight on the sofa, his large body leaning forward, his hands resting on his knees, staring intently at his phone screen.

The silver cross cufflinks swayed slightly during the movement.

"This is the grace of God the Father."

His voice became deep and devout, and a burning light shone in his grey-blue eyes. "The grace of the Father."

Victor's lips curled up slightly.

"So this is just as I guessed. Like the Blessed Order, God the Father may need more disciples like this to serve Him."

"With this added advantage," Victor said slowly, "are we still afraid of failing our mission?"

Marcus stood up and abruptly pulled back the curtains, letting in the city's neon lights that painted mottled colors on his broad shoulders and back.

"No wonder Gabriel came to 'China,' whether it's the 'Old World Tomb' that's about to drift here, or this instance quest."

"This place is practically a treasure trove."

"Should we talk to 'Gabriel'?" Lucas's voice came from behind.

Marcus's back remained frozen for a second.

He turned around, his angular face cold and stern, his eyes almost gray in the backlight.

"Are you an idiot?"

Victor's smile deepened slightly as he said calmly, "He is the Holy Son now, and no one can shake his position, but after tomorrow, that may not be the case."

Lucas smiled but didn't say anything.

"Go find offerings."

"This is our chance to change our destiny."

What no one noticed was the very bottom of the three people's phone screens.

Below entry 2, there is a line of folded gray text, so small that it almost blends into the background.

[Entry 3 - Inevitable Death: The power of angels, which mortals cannot withstand; use will result in death within 24 hours]

Please note that the Circus Night of Wonders will begin in 24 hours!
