Chapter 1056 Gathering
After the Vortex incident... Mocoxidos continued, God specifically bestowed upon me, telling me to stay in Trier, not to do anything else, not to expose myself.
It wasnt because you made some special contribution? Lumian quickly followed up.
When he heard the word Vortex, he thought hed found a key point, but unexpectedly, Mocoxidoss answer was completely different from what he had imagined.
This was even more suspicious!
Because I am devout, Mocoxidos said fanatically. Compared to the Order of All Extinction, we are the overlooked faction, doing less. God specifically bestowing upon me could only be because of my devotion...
Before he could finish speaking, his remnant soul had faded too much to sustain the spirit channeling.
Lumian and Franca could only watch helplessly as he completely dissipated.
Franca took out the Inevitable Gun and placed it where the cyan-green yellowish light points were gathering and floating upward.
Since this was an ordinary mirror world, the return of the boon was only partially affected. While it settled down again, most of it still broke free and disappeared.
While waiting for the Inevitable Guns power to be replenished and show more mutations, Franca said to Lumian, Getting a Sequence 3-equivalent boon without needing to make any contribution?
I thought becoming a Demoness of Unaging was already easy enough, but I didnt expect there could be something even easier.
Smiling, Lumian replied, Didnt you notice this when you were in the Savoie Mob? If they suddenly give you a gun, its definitely to make you do something dangerous, to use you as cannon fodder.
Right, theres no such thing as a free lunchthe more free it seems, the more expensive it actually is. Franca understood Lumians meaning. The entity worshiped by the Sick Church gave Mocoxidos and others more boons, instructing them to lie low in the Trier region, because in the near future theyll be made to do something quite crucial, something they must do even if it leads to all their deaths?
Lumian nodded. Its unfortunate that the Sick Church is a fringe sect. If we had captured a Sequence 3 Saint from the Order of All Extinction, we might already know what the issue is.
This could be seen from the names of the first few boon sequences of the Patient pathwaythe followers of that great existence naturally tended toward infiltrating Triers upper and middle classes, gradually corrupting the entire system.
Disease and plague were just two among that beings many authorities.
Indeed. Franca sighed. Whatever the case, removing one nail is still one nail removed. We dont need to worry about the Sick Church for now.
At this point, her Inevitable Gun showed some changes, expanding slightly overall and taking on a faint cyan-green tinge.
Franca retrieved the revolver with spider silk and learned the final results by querying her own spirituality.
The shots with either Certain Death or Sure Hit effects were restored to 13 times, and an additional new effect was added that could stun enemies, cause their thoughts to decay, and significantly affect their thinking and actions.
This didnt require actually hitting the target to take effectas long as the target was locked onto and the shot was fired, they would experience similar conditions.
And if a bullet with this effect actually hit, unless the target had previously used a body double ability, their original body would inevitably decay and move toward death, though this wouldnt affect the mirror that the Demoness of Unaging had hidden away earlier with most mystical connections severed.
It cant compare to the original left handit wont make targets truly feel like theyre facing divine descent, completely unable to move or even think. Lets just say it can be useful in split-second moments, leaving enemies no time to react... Franca casually explained.
She quickly named this effect Gods Gaze, which could only be triggered once.
Franca then sighed.
Its a pity we were too rushedif we had brought Anthonys Winter is Coming, his weapon could have been replenished too.
Franca and Lumian had originally thought Dalberros superior would at most be a Sequence 4 Doomed One. Although they had made contingency plans for encountering a Sequence 3 Saint, that wasnt their main focus, so the execution was inevitably somewhat hasty. Many preparations they should have made werent done, and they could only rely on the Demoness of Unagings bizarre unkillable trait to forcefully confront and block the target.
There will be other chances. Lumian smiled slightly.
He was referring to the Sequence 4 demigod currently under Mr. Fools control.
Of course, this was assuming Mr. Fool didnt plan to use that puppet for something else.
Franca made an affirmative sound, then said, The gathering time is set for 10 pm Saturday. You got the message, right?
I did. Lumian nodded.
Saturday night at 10pm, in the ancient and dilapidated palace of the Nation of the Evernight, Lumians figure quickly materialized.
He was once again dressed as a warlock, wearing a silver-white half mask.
After waiting another five minutes, Hidden Blade Franca, still wearing her assassin outfit, walked to the huge stone chair and cleared her throat.
Everyone, I have announcements to make.
Her voice wasnt loud, but it transmitted through the mirror items carried by many Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society members, allowing everyone to hear clearly.
Thats a nice trick, Hidden Blade, someone immediately praised.
Hidden Blades past actions and previously established image meant people didnt respect and revere her like they did Hela and Gandalf, instead treating her more like a friend they could tease.
Francas lips curled into a smile. Youre right. The first thing I want to announce is:
Ladies and gentlemen, Ive become a demigod!
As the many Research Society members stared in shock, unable to believe it and about to express their emotions with profanity, the flaxen-colored long hair extending from under Francas hood floated up, becoming slightly darker and thicker.
This made the vast majority of Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society members inexplicably alarmed, instinctively lowering their heads as if threads of electricity were coursing through their bodies.
This wasnt displaying an incomplete Mythical Creature formFranca wouldnt dare do that. She was merely showing a hint of her godhoods aura to make her words more convincing.
The entire ancient palace suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, when everyone came to their senses, they instinctively wanted to express various opinions and use different tone words, but instantly remembered Hidden Blades previous display and closed their mouths again.
That was the aura of godhood.
Hidden Blade was now half-god, half-human.
Francas deliberate showing off was mainly to strengthen the persuasiveness of her subsequent words. Seeing their reaction, she smoothly continued, Were still brothers and sisters, dont be so formal.
After all these years, dont you know what kind of person I am?
If you dont curse a bit, dont marvel at how Hidden Blade suddenly became so powerful, dont express your inner shock and admiration, wouldnt my showing off be for nothing?
Right, right, right, Hidden Blades air is back! The Research Society members immediately relaxed considerably and, like those people in the telegram group, began expressing their shock and admiration.
Franca immediately harvested joy from this.
She had to admit that a small part of her deliberate showing off was for the showing off itself.
When everyones discussion had somewhat subsided, Franca said in a low voice, The second thing I want to announce is that Ive received intelligence that those evil cults across the Northern and Southern Continents and the Five Seas will do something big in the next year or two, which might bring apocalyptic scenes.
If you have chances to advance your Sequence, try your best to do so. If not, thats fine toojust enjoy life and when the time comes, hide in places like the cathedrals in major cities.
As long as the true gods can hold on, things wont be too hopeless. If They cant hold on, everyone should first preserve their useful selves and decide what to do based on the specific situation. Personally, I think catastrophe will inevitably come, but its possible to survive them.
The Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society members looked at each other, both bewildered and confused.
If Hidden Blade hadnt become a demigod Demoness, they would have thought she was joking, playing a prank.
How could the apocalypse come so suddenly?
Were there no omens or prophecies?
Everyone turned their gazes toward Hela and Gandalfcompared to the newly-made demigod Hidden Blade, these two had more authority and were more trustworthy.
Hela walked to Francas side and looked around. Members in Trier, try to leave within half a year. This city will be one of the key nodes where problems erupt.
Even if you really like life in Trier, you can return after things are over.
This indirectly endorsed Francas previous words.
The Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society members immediately erupted, asking all at once, What exactly is going to happen?
Which places will be safer?
Will remote villages be affected?
...
Franca pressed down with one hand, gesturing for everyone to calm down.
The specifics arent clear.
Just treat it as a prophecy made by a prophetthere might not be only one interpretation.
As everyone discussed, she and Hela walked down the steps.
Gandalf came to where they had just been standing, showing no surprise or shock about the apocalyptic matter.
This president of the Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society looked at everyone and said, Let me add one more point:
Try to hide in big cities, but not the capitals of various countries.
The successive confirmations made the gatherings atmosphere suddenly heavy, though not to the point of freezing or despair.
The Academy groups gathering spot had the same atmosphere.
Professor, wearing a butterfly bow tie, looked at Lumian and asked, Muggle, youre quite familiar with Hidden Blade. Have you heard more details?
No, Lumian added, I only know that the Eternal Blazing Sun Church has placed nearly half its forces in Trier.
After Periodic Table, Isotope, Associate Professor and others discussed for a while, Lumian thoughtfully said, I have something to remind you about. After becoming a Warlock, I was infused with quite a bit of knowledge by the Hidden Sage, some of which was about summoning special creatures from the spirit world.
This had significant problems. It took me a long time to resolve them, so I have some experience.
Have you been infused with knowledge in this area? Something about weak balls of telepathic connections.
