pain!
it hurts!
Klein woke up from the darkness and touched his waist, where the phantom pain of being cut off from the waist seemed to still remain.
He opened his eyes and looked at the scene before him. Beside him lay quietly two arms that had lost their vitality, while his limbs became complete again, seeming to have returned to the way they were before leaving Tingen City.
Klein blinked in confusion, memories flooding out of his mind. The feeling of being cut in half by Panatia just now still stayed in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little pain coming from his waist and abdomen.
How is Backlund doing now? How are Benson and Melissa doing now? Lao Gao...
Klein couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he thought about how he had repeatedly called Gao Wei's messenger but had received no response.
It was the first time for him to call the messenger but get no response. Klein carefully observed his surroundings and found a familiar candlelight nearby.
Every plant and tree here has the characteristics of the Church of the Night. Thanks to this, Klein felt a little calmer.
The fact that the Church of Night is still there proves that Backlund has not had any major problems yet. Klein caught a glimpse of several letters neatly placed on the table in the distance, and immediately turned over and walked to the table.
It was only then that he realized that his original clothes had been replaced by the uniform of a deacon in the Church of the Night.
Klein first glanced at the senders of the letters on the table. After seeing the names of the senders, Klein's mood suddenly calmed down a lot. The names of Gao Wei and Azik were clearly on the three letters placed on the table, and Azik's name appeared twice.
"Mr. Azik wrote me two letters?" Klein said to himself while opening Azik's letter first. He sat in front of the desk under the dim candlelight and began to read the letter Azik wrote to him.
"Klein:"
"During the battle with Ince Zangwill, I almost killed him. Unfortunately, there was an Extraordinary from the Loen Royal Family present, and he exiled me."
"Although it's a pity that I couldn't keep Ince Zangwill completely, I have also confirmed a fact."
Ince Zangwill still ran away? What a disaster that will last for thousands of years... Klein couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart, and continued to look down:
"In the disaster involving the gods that happened in Backlund, the royal family most likely played a dishonorable role. Abraham... no, he should be called Mr. Gaowei now. His previous body may have Unfortunately, he died in the battle, and all the ritual terms pointed to him can no longer be used. Now he has changed his body and transferred his will into the body of a clone of Amon."
What? Transferred the will into the body of Amon's clone? What is outrageous, outrageous... Klein immediately opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. The fear he felt when he was chased to the brink by Amon just now turned into a feeling that he didn't know how to describe in Klein's heart.
He really couldn't think of any extraordinary ability that could transfer his will into the body of Amon, the originator of "parasitism".
Klein quickly looked down.
"Coupled with the fate of the clone he had sewn before, Gao Wei's current full name should be Gao Wei Augustus - the middle name belonging to Amon can be omitted directly. Due to time constraints, I will not add more. I won’t go into details.”
"You can write to me when you're somewhere safe."
Klein took a look at the date of this letter. It was the day after he was killed by Panatia, but why did Mr. Azik write another letter?
With such doubts, Klein continued to read, but his pupils suddenly dilated slightly because he discovered that the time written on the second letter was already a week later.
The content of the letter was that Azik had not received a reply from Klein for a long time, and he asked impatiently about Klein's current situation.
After reading this letter, Klein fell into a brief confusion. He originally thought that his resurrection was a "miracle" that was completed quickly, but he did not expect that it took a whole week to complete.
Not to mention, Klein still doesn't know how long it has been since he was resurrected, and he doesn't know what the situation is like outside now.
After a slight sigh and a little panic, Klein quickly opened the letter sent to him by Gao Wei. The content of this letter is relatively long, with several paragraphs written on it:
"The previous messenger died in battle, and I haven't found a new one yet. The identity and destiny of Prince Edsac that I took away allowed George III to send me to the Southern Continent. You can come and find me there then."
"Currently, I asked the Aurora Society to take away a group of workers and farmers who were willing to come with us from Backlund. Some of them were taken away by the Aurora Society under the pretext of kidnapping, and the other part were taken to the South by the privilege of being a prince. mainland."
"Don't worry, the ritual magic I left at the place where Benson and Melissa lived was triggered, and I arrived in time to save them. And your words -"
"If you can see this, it means that your gray mist has indeed given you the ability to resurrect. But there must be a number of resurrections. You must not waste your life at will."
"When I saw your body, I saw Amon's clone next to you. If you can't board the gray mist to get rid of Amon's influence now, you can try to pray to my 'courtyard' and let me try Can I help you clean up the Amon on your body?"
"One more thing, if you are really affected by the power left by Amon, then you should have Amon's gaze on you. During this time, you must disguise yourself and don't let others discover your identity. Especially the few people you know, if Amon finds out, he may use the lives of these people to intimidate you later."
...I have already felt this. Fortunately, Lao Gao arrived in time and helped me save Benson and Melissa... Klein thought with a little fear and looked at the last paragraph:
"The name that points to me is:"
"The divine light, the tower of dimensions; the master of the twenty-fifth dimension, the omnipresent final curtain; the truth of despair, the overlooker of higher dimensions."
This, isn't this the title of Daolos in a certain Sulu myth? I originally thought that I had gone too far by forcibly translating the name of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, but you copied it forcibly? you……
Klein forced himself to resist the urge to complain. As soon as he put down the letter in his hand, he heard the door creak.
Klein was immediately alert. Adhering to the self-cultivation of the "Faceless Man", he temporarily changed his face and turned into Sherlock Moriarty, the deacon of the Church of the Night.
"..." Leonard opened the door and stood in front of him, vaguely feeling that Deacon Moriarty's face just now seemed familiar. He gave up his idea, looked at Sherlock who was looking at him, and couldn't help but said with some embarrassment:
"I was on duty just now. I heard some movement here and took a look. Ahem...I didn't expect you to wake up, Deacon Moriarty?"
"...Yeah." Klein nodded slightly and said to Leonard in front of him. While he was secretly glad that his true appearance had not been seen by Leonard, he had no idea that the inspired guy in front of him had already had some doubts about his true identity.
"I'll contact the Archbishop." Leonard immediately ran upwards, leaving Klein, who was still in a daze, here.
Klein stood there in a circle for two seconds, couldn't help but laugh, and slowly walked out.
As he walked out, he discovered that Backlund Cathedral looked so dilapidated. There were tiles and gravel everywhere, and dust was scattered on the ground with no one to clean it up.
Klein squinted his eyes and walked up the last two steps, a ray of sunlight shining on his face.
When his eyes adjusted to the light again and he could see the things around him clearly, Klein's expression suddenly stiffened.
He saw a flat land.
Under the bright sunshine and clear sky, there are countless bricks and rubbles. The sky was cloudless, and Backlund was freed from the haze for the first time in a long time, and there was some light. But at this moment, the warm sunshine shining on the ground made Backlund look extremely desolate in this winter.
"Why is this happening?" Klein murmured to himself. Wherever he looked, he could see twisted and broken ruins, as well as open spaces that had been cleared to serve as temporary medical facilities.
Priests and nuns wearing the attire of the Church of the Night were walking hurriedly on the ground, either hurriedly delivering things to the surroundings, or carrying the rescued injured people with the police.
In the other direction, Klein clearly saw extraordinary people walking among the black "curtain" performing "requiem".
But if you look carefully, where is the black curtain? It was a dark ocean formed by countless black bags wrapped in corpses.
Klein looked around blankly, and suddenly felt as if his heart was being pinched by something, feeling an indescribable discomfort.
Farther away, there were some Beyonders who were uprooting some blood-red vines that were growing randomly, while the police were clearing the rubble.
"Deacon Moriarty, I'm glad you're okay." Archbishop Anthony walked over and said to Klein in front of him. He glanced at Klein, who was clenching his fists, and could see what was in Klein's mind at a glance.
"I'm... very happy too." The corners of Klein's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a slightly exaggerated smile.
After seeing Backlund's decline, as a "faceless man" he failed to control his facial muscles.
"The oracle handed down by the goddess." Archbishop Anthony said calmly to Klein in front of him:
"You can now choose to become the bishop of a certain parish in the Kingdom of Loen - you have accumulated enough merits. After you have completely digested the current potion, you can be promoted to Sequence Five. The goddess is very satisfied with your performance. In this disaster, the 'Desperate Nightingale' and a very difficult target were contained, and the lives of Deacon Dunn and others were saved."
"So if you want to be a bishop, you can have the position of bishop in advance. Of course, before you become a true demigod, you still need to assist the previous bishop in his work."
"..." Klein was silent for a moment, then turned his face to the pile of corpses in the distance again. Seeing Klein acting like this, Archbishop Anthony showed a smile on his face and said to him:
"Of course, you can also choose not to overdraw your merits and continue to perform tasks while digesting the potion. After the potion is completely digested, the church can provide you with mermaids for use in rituals."
"Task?"
Klein turned his head in confusion, not knowing what Archbishop Anthony in front of him meant.
"I can tell you in advance that this mission is at sea. If you choose to carry out this mission, I will transfer the Sequence 5 and Sequence 4 potion formulas and some auxiliary materials for easy storage to you first - I know you have already obtained With the extraordinary characteristics of sequence five, there is no need to use meritorious deeds to redeem them."
"But this mission is a secret of the church. I can only tell you if you choose to carry it out."
"...I choose to go to sea."
Klein nodded and spoke in a deep voice to Archbishop Anthony in front of him. He happened to also need to follow Gao Wei's footsteps, so going to sea was the best choice.
And Klein doesn't think he can stay in Backlund and enjoy the rest of his life. Putting aside the possible doomsday the world may face, Amon chasing him is also a considerable threat.
"good."
"The Church of Storms issued a bounty two days ago." Archbishop Anthony nodded and looked at Klein in front of him.
"A reward is being offered for the 'Mysterious Queen' Bernadette Gustave who is suspected to be influenced by the hidden existence of the 'Superstar Master'!"
What?
Klein couldn't believe his ears, offering a reward for Bernadette? Then, isn't that Russell's daughter?
"Yes, it's the Bernadette you were thinking of." Archbishop Anthony gently touched the ground with the scepter in his hand. The surrounding environment seemed to become a little darker, as if he was separated from the surrounding world. . Klein keenly sensed the change in the environment and knew that it was safe here.
"During this disaster, Backlund was severely traumatized and hit. Whether it was the damage caused by Intis's god 'Eternal Blazing Sun' when it attacked the clone of the true creator with all its strength or the aftermath of the Storm Lord's attack. They almost razed the entire Backlund to the ground."
"There are very few people surviving now. In the areas directly attacked by several gods, basically only those who temporarily hid in shelters survived. And with it, a large number of people disappeared and were lost. , which has also resulted in Backlund being basically paralyzed as a whole."
What? !
Klein was suddenly shocked.
