Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

"Are you looking for this?" Charles' voice appeared behind him, and at the same time he slowly opened his hand, and something like a pocket watch fell into his hand and swayed around.

"Your thing is nice, but from today on it's mine~" Charles said with a smile.

"asshole..."

While cursing Charles, he was wondering when Charles took away the "Clock of Time".

This thing was his most precious treasure, which he had kept sealed in the center of his heart. He never expected that it would be stolen before he could use it.

"You can't kill me..." The God of Fear said loudly while trying to escape from where Charles was.

"As long as there is fear in this world, I will be immortal!"

At least in this country, I am immortal.

If you want to kill me, you must first destroy this country, and then spend hundreds of years to completely erase the mark of fear I left here.

As long as one of them is not cleared, I will be immortal!

Relying on this ability, he once killed a demigod of the same level and repelled several groups of people who wanted to enforce justice.

"I will trust you if you raise your status by two more levels." Charles looked at him with a smile, then waved his hand.

In an instant, the wheat ears in his body matured, and then turned into grains of wheat that slowly fell down.

His power is contained in each grain of wheat. Every time an ear of wheat matures and falls, it means that his power is weakened or even eliminated.

"Don't think you will win, our battle has just begun!" His body had completely turned into mud, but even so he still did not give up.

This is my home turf...

and many more...

Where is my strength?

What about the fear I have built into this place!?

His face turned grim and panicked.

"You don't think I really just wanted to chat with you, or show off or something, do you?" Charles narrowed his eyes and looked at the "God of Fear" whose eyes were full of despair and fear.

Then the hand where the "Clock of Time" was hanging slowly opened, and he felt fear in it, the fear of the entire country.

"Do you know about the thief's way of 'stealing'?"

"While chatting, I took the opportunity to bring up the fear of the entire country. Oh, not just this country, but also the fear of more than a dozen surrounding countries, as well as your backup plans in some countries in the North Continent and the West Continent."

"How about it? Did you feel a little surprised?"

This time, the God of Fear was silent. He no longer had the ability to say anything.

Looking at the God of Fear slowly turning into soil, Charles waved his hand gently, and an unknown extraordinary characteristic appeared in his hand.

"It's a bit like the ability of a dread wolf, but the resistance is a little worse than that of a physical body."

"That won't do. Just because you can revive in fear, you can't ignore your body's inherent strength..."

While sighing, Charles slowly accepted some of the legacy of the God of Fear.

To be honest, the God of Fear is actually quite powerful.

He was considered average among the demigods Ciel had met, although his abilities were a bit mixed and he had taken a detour in the low to mid-sequence stages.

However, due to the accumulation of factors, the "Clock of Time" and the geographical advantage, he is considered to be quite difficult to deal with among the demigods. Most church demigods will have a headache or even fail when they encounter him.

But Ciel, he is not an ordinary demigod of the church.

"What a pity! This thing is made with the extraordinary characteristics of a demigod. It would be better if it was made with the extraordinary characteristics of a god." Looking at the Clock of Time in his hand, Charles felt a little sad.

He had spent a long time searching for the extraordinary properties related to time before.

In the end, I had no choice but to make some extraordinary sequence potions related to time.

Sequence 4 Prophet, Sequence 3 Mystic, this is partly why these two sequences were chosen.

Section 1 Chapter 8 This world is so dangerous!

"This world is still too unsafe." Charles looked around with some emotion.

Demigod...die at any moment.

Sure enough, one should not be too arrogant when doing things.

low profile.

If the God of Fear knew what he was thinking at this moment, the coffin lid would probably fall on his head.

Don’t you know why I’m going to die?

Charles did not spend too much time reminiscing about the past but waved his hand. Some earth elemental creatures began to collect their own spoils according to his orders.

But just like other demigods who had fallen at his hands, the fallen god of fear had nothing in his hands that he valued.

Apart from the extraordinary characteristics left behind after his death, the only interesting thing is the "Clock of Time" just stolen from him.

But he didn't feel disgusted and packed up all the things.

Everything has its time to come into play. Even if it seems useless now, it does not mean that it will never be useful.

After he is promoted to a Sequence 2 Subordinate God, he can consider absorbing some of the power of faith and converting it into some special aura.

Then he selected some suitable Horcruxes from his collection to carry those auras and created some high-end-looking knockoff Horcruxes.

His fighting ability and the power he possesses are absurdly high. If he doesn't want to become the target of public criticism, he'd better disguise himself when fighting.

"This thing is quite interesting." While daydreaming, Charles played with the pocket watch-shaped "Clock of Time" in his hand.

This is an object that can interfere with time.

Has several nice abilities.

First, he could save a person's current state. When that person was injured or even near death, activating the "Clock of Time" would instantly restore that person's state to the state at the time of the save.

However, considering Ciel's strength, saving and loading the game once would put a huge burden on the Clock of Time.

Second, he can go back a certain range of time, and this range of retrospection is closely related to the number of powerful people around him.

When fighting a demigod, Ciel can rewind time by one minute within a kilometer radius. If he only rewinds his own time, Ciel can restore his state to ten minutes ago in a single battle.

This thing cannot affect the subordinate gods, and is a bit useless to Charles. After all, whether it is reading and saving files or manipulating time, Charles can do it by himself.

The potion path of Ciel Sequence 4 is the "Prophet" of the "Astrologer" sequence, and the next step for "Prophet" is the "Historic Recorder".

The extraordinary power at this level can already interfere with time, and due to its special nature, it can interfere with time at a deeper level.

For Charles, the greatest function of the Clock of Time is probably to help him disguise himself when he interferes with time?

"This thing has stored so many people's information." Charles placed his hand on the hour hand of the Clock of Time and kept turning it backwards.

A strange wave enveloped the entire Kingdom of Wilmisis, and then the bodies and souls of all the people in the kingdom were constantly affected by the power of time.

Their memories slowly returned to the time when they were just transformed into dolls.

"This thing is used to herd sheep and then plucking their wool. This guy is really a talent." Feeling the disappearance of the power of time on the Clock of Time, Charles' expression was a little amused.

"But, no matter what, you can't catch a group of sheep and beat them to death." Relying on the power of the Clock of Time, the God of Fear has archived the time of everyone in the Kingdom of Wilmisis at a certain point in time since thousands of years ago.

Then he began to use some methods to harvest their fear, and then found the best way to harvest fear.

He then repeated this over and over again.

Although they were all ordinary people, the number was too large, so the God of Fear chose to kill all the people in the Kingdom of Virmisis directly, and then put their souls into the puppets he made.

Dolls are inanimate objects, and the energy required to restore them is much smaller than the energy consumed by their life force.

The emotion of fear only requires the soul to produce it. In addition, the tricks he has done on the puppet and the use of the Clock of Time to continuously save and restore the harvested fear are much higher than the ordinary methods.

Most people would keep the Clock of Time as a treasure, but this guy used it for farming.

If the method wasn't too cruel and Charles needed a demigod as a sacrifice, maybe he would exchange farming experiences with this guy.

"It's a pity that we can't contact the Mother Goddess..." High in the sky, Charles looked at the people of the Kingdom of Wilmisis who were now confused.

Simply giving life to a person, transforming them from a doll state into a human, Ciel can do it.

But with so many people, Charles was overwhelmed.

Creation is always harder than destruction.

"This guy's puppetry skills are pretty good. Being a puppet like this in this era might not be a bad thing."

For those with good qualifications and the ability to access the extraordinary side, becoming a puppet means that they can hardly embark on the path to the extraordinary.

But for ordinary people, becoming a puppet might not be a bad thing. In order to better collect fear, the puppets created by the God of Fear are considered to be relatively high-end items.

All human senses can be retained, and the body's state can be considered constant in a certain sense.

Their status will not change much over the next sixty years.

But in sixty years, everyone here will die at the same time.

In this day and age, living to sixty is considered pretty good.

"Pray, if a god comes within sixty years, you will become more fortunate than others."

"If not..."

Without saying anything more, he turned around and left the Kingdom of Vermisis.

On an uninhabited island deep in the West Sea, Charles stopped.

Then he slowly took out a mirror and took out the extraordinary characteristics of the God of Fear.

A white flame continued to burn on his extraordinary characteristics.

Wisps of grayish-white mist slowly enveloped the mirror.

Charles stared at the blurry mirrors that kept turning up. After a moment, pictures slowly appeared in his mind, pictures about the origin of the Krolov family.

His sight followed the gray-white mist and slowly returned to tens of thousands of years ago.

That was the end of the Godless Era, but also the last glory of the Church of the Five Gods.

During that period, due to various unexpected circumstances, even if the Five Gods Church united, it was still unable to prevent its own gradual decline.

Even if a god has not appeared for tens of thousands of years, some people have gradually forgotten how terrifying it is.

As a result, the church slowly became like Tang Monk's meat, being watched by some evil and powerful people.

As if rebounding from the bottom, a man named Judd Krolov destroyed the last holy relic retained by the Church of the Eternal Sun - a Horcrux made from the extraordinary properties of a god after his death.

Then, regardless of the difference in his own strength, he swallowed up that extraordinary characteristic.

Perhaps it was perseverance, or perhaps the owner of that extraordinary ability knew the troubles the church was currently facing.

With a mortality rate of 99 percent, Judd succeeded.

-

Section 19 Chapter 19 Don’t you know that the god in your house has only one piece of clothing?

The moment of his success was also the most glorious moment for the Church of the Five Gods.

When demigods are everywhere and powerful people above the level of gods have disappeared, a powerful god from a church faction is enough to become the light that ignites the era.

However, this light was too dazzling and burned those powerful people who had targeted the church.

He was also too impatient and righteous.

If Charles returned to that era and became Judd Krolov, he would steadily establish alliances and take the lead in developing the power of his own sect.

But Judd took on all the pressure from the Five Gods Sect on his own.

It's just that he overestimated his own strength and underestimated the strength of those ambitious people.

As Judd Krolov works to restore the church to glory, a trap is set for him.

The final result was that twenty-one demigods accompanied him to the end.

It was from that time that the Church of the Five Gods completely lost most of its extraordinary inheritance.

The Five Gods Church still existed during this era, but its members were mostly ordinary people. The combined power of the five churches was not as great as that of a larger town.
