Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 139 The Fool's Authority

"I know that. The sealed artifact you mentioned seems to correspond to the 'Shepherd'."

"shepherd?"

Just then, the simple-minded Taiyo jumped out and revealed the information he knew.

"That's right, shepherds. Their abilities are just as Mr. Fate said: they can command and shepherd the souls of other extraordinary beings or higher-level evil spirits."

"This makes them incredibly terrifying, because no one knows exactly how many extraordinary beings they control, or how many extraordinary abilities they possess, which gives them the power to contend with high-ranking powerhouses in a short period of time!"

Oh, I see.

Sun Derrick's more down-to-earth explanation made all the members, including the bewildered Mr. Fool, understand what the so-called partial manifestation of corrupt authority really meant.

"Hmph, Mr. Ron, really! If he hadn't explained it so vaguely, I would have understood immediately!"

"However, this seems quite ordinary to Mr. Ron. Could he be a member of some ancient family?"

Recalling her earlier "ugly" state, Audrey Hall unconsciously puffed out her cheeks, feeling that she, who was born into a good family and lacked nothing, was experiencing the overwhelming power of the "rich".

She slightly raised her head, wanting to look at Mr. Fate opposite her, but her eyes met those of the blond boy. Upon eye contact, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Mr. Sun, do you know which pathway the Shepherd takes as an Extraordinary, and what sequence he is?"

The Hanged Man's eyes gleamed as he memorized the knowledge he had acquired for free. He looked at the sun, wanting to ask the question he cared about again for free.

"The starting sequence of the 'Shepherd' is the 'Mystic,' which is the fifth sequence of this path."

Derrick the Sun, clearly lacking in cunning, was once again tricked by Alger the Hanged Man into revealing valuable information.

Sequence Five. The Mystic. This seems to be an extraordinary path mastered by the Aurora Society, etc.

The Aurora Society believes in a true Creator, so what about the corrupt authority that fate just mentioned?

Upon realizing this, Alger Wilson's thoughts froze instantly, and his body trembled slightly, as if the knowledge he had just acquired for free was burning his hands.

Because the corrupting power that Mr. Fate speaks of is most likely the power and symbol of the true creator.

This is a genuine deity, an ancient deity!

A deathly silence hung above the gray fog. Clearly, both Miss Justice and Mr. Fool were aware of the problem, but one was overtly obvious while the other remained relaxed, making it difficult to discern their true intentions.

"Mr. Fool, did you have this deeper meaning when you previously referred to the 'True Creator' as the 'Fallen Creator'?"

Just then, Justice Audrey suddenly looked up at Fool Klein and remembered how Mr. Fool had referred to the "True Creator" at previous gatherings. In an instant, she felt her mind open up and a sense of enlightenment welled up in her heart.

It turns out that Mr. Fool had already revealed the true nature of that god, but I hadn't noticed.

Justice Audrey pursed her lips, thinking to herself.

As expected of Mr. Fool. He has indeed stepped into the realm of the gods, and every word and action of his contains profound meaning. The reason we have not seen it is because our level is not high enough, and we are not qualified to understand those hidden knowledge.

Alger, the Hanged Man, also had a sudden burst of inspiration. He looked up and gazed fervently at the Fool at the head of the bronze table. He instantly understood the meaning behind the deity's previous words, realizing that the actions of a god were beyond the comprehension of a mere extraordinary being like himself.

As for Derrick the Sun, although he didn't understand what the Tarot Club members were saying, he also looked up at Mr. Fool in the gray fog.

"Heh, it's not a big deal."

As for the great Fool, he simply chuckled and casually changed the subject, afraid that if he said any more, he would give himself away.

Klein was covered in sweat and was not as relaxed as he appeared. He had only seen the scene through dream divination and labeled the true creator, but he didn't expect that he would actually be right.

What could Mr. Fool do? He was also feeling guilty, so he could only grit his teeth and keep up the act!

"what?"

The blond boy was a little dumbfounded by what he saw. He felt that everyone's "admiring" gaze had vanished in an instant and all of it had been transferred to that poor guy.

Hey, shouldn't you all be worshipping me? I'm the one who told you that knowledge!

Ron's lips twitched, and he made a mental note of this, planning to settle the score with Mr. Fool later.

The people in this tarot club are all somewhat ill; their IQs have probably been lowered.

With a sigh in his heart, the blond-haired boy also turned his head to look at Mr. Fool, who sat at the very head of the long bronze table.

Silence fell once more above the gray fog, and Mr. Fool awkwardly slammed his fist on the floor of Source Castle.

After some time, seeing that the great Fool did not express much, Alger the Hanged Man once again sighed in his heart, "He truly is a great figure who is suspected to be a god."

"Miss Justice, let's get back to the main point. In short, the sealed artifact of Zilingus is just as Mr. Fate and Mr. Sun said. It is extremely dangerous and extremely terrifying. Therefore, you'd better not try to find help to deal with it alone."

Alger Wilson reiterated that he was extremely wary of his "brothers."

"Mr. Hanged Man, I accept this commission, but I cannot guarantee success!"

Audrey Hall weighed the situation in her mind. Although she felt that this matter was somewhat dangerous, with the great Fool by her side, it was not a problem.

"There's no better answer than this. If you succeed, I'll pay you."

The Hanged Man paused for a moment. He wanted to say that he would pay her a reward beyond her imagination, but he swallowed the words back when he thought of the extravagance of the noble lady opposite him.

"I will exchange the main material of 'Mind Reader' with you, or some secret knowledge and intelligence. I have many channels and friends on the high seas, so this is not difficult for me, provided that we know what it is!"

Alger Wilson reiterated the compensation he had previously mentioned.

"Deal." Audrey's emerald eyes flickered slightly as she responded with a faint smile.

In the following time, with the help of the Fool Klein, the Hanged Man materialized a portrait of Zilingus and handed it over to Miss Justice.

After discussing all the matters that needed to be discussed and sharing all the information that needed to be shared, the Tarot gathering came to an end with the announcement of the great Fool.

Justice, the Hanged Man, and the sun, which was a beat behind, rose, bowed, and returned to the real world.

As for Ron, he pretended not to see anything, did not bow, and was kicked back to reality by Klein, who twitched his eye slightly.

It's the third update again today. Tarot readings are so hard to write. They have to be different from the original, express the content of this gathering, and make the main character play a role. Most importantly, I have to keep Mr. Fool's cool. Damn, it's even harder to write than the Twilight Hermit's Meeting.
