Who is the cultist?

  "Bang!"

Leo Master froze in place at the sound of the heavy sword hitting the ground, unable to react to Alice's words.

Compared to Anderson, whose skills required a certain amount of preparation and who did not trust Alice enough, Klein's reaction was quicker. He immediately raised his left hand wearing a black glove, and a sharp blade emanated from Klein's mind, striking the spirit of the black-armored knight.

Mental piercing!

Unfortunately, the damage of this attack was not high, and the black-armored knight did not show any discomfort.

Fortunately, the black-armored knight seemed to have a bad brain, or was too arrogant - who knows? Anyway, after being attacked, he stopped chasing Leo Master, and did not pick up the sword on the ground, but looked at Klein who launched the attack.

There was no need for anyone to remind him now. Leo Master rushed over, kicked the heavy sword on the ground, caught the hilt, and swept towards the black-armored knight with the sword in both hands.

Dang!

The huge sword hit the calf, making a loud noise and leaving an inconspicuous scratch.

But that was all, the black-armored knight immediately realized his current situation, retracted his gaze, and dodged around the boulder.

At this moment, the offensive and defensive situations are different.

In the chaotic scene, Alice brought out an ending that was easiest for her to achieve. Her calm voice rang in Klein's ears:

"Hit him to death."

At the same time, Anderson's long pre-swing finally ended. His voice arrived half a step later than Alice's, pointing Klein in the direction:

"Do you have extraordinary abilities with lightning?"

Actually, in a sense I do… well, it's a little difficult in dreams.

Alice glanced at the clear sky and turned her head back to Klein.

As she expected, Klein raised his right hand, and a short milky white scepter appeared in his hand. The head of the scepter was inlaid with a circle of blue-green "gems".

"Poseidon's Scepter!"

Then, silver-white lightning shot out and landed on the black full body armor, moving on the armor like a snake. Finally, the pure black armor shattered in the silver-white light, revealing another Leo Master wrapped in it.

The two identical faces made Klein and Anderson stunned, but Leo Master, who was holding the giant sword, seemed to have expected it. He took the sword without hesitation and cut the other Leo Master in half.

This didn't seem to be able to kill a saint of the "Secret Prayer" path. Alice noticed with her sharp eyes that the two halves of the body on the ground were still squirming, trying to stick together.

She had no intention of giving any warning, but just stood there and watched. After the Leomaster holding the heavy sword had the power of life and death over the other Leomaster, he stabbed him with the sword again and again, completely turning the Leomaster on the ground into a mass of flesh and blood.

"How disgusting..." Alice frowned and gave her comment in the silence.

The condensed dusk had returned to the horizon. Cattleya hugged her knees and sat back on the boulder. Anderson turned his inquiring gaze to Gehrman Sparrow, only to find that he had walked up to Alice without her noticing.

"What should I call you, Your Highness?" After Anderson added the final flame and successfully turned the mass of flesh and blood on the ground into ashes, Leo Master came to Alice with a huge sword in hand, knelt on one knee, performed a knight's salute, and asked humbly with his head lowered.

When he kneels down, he is almost as tall as me... Alice gritted her teeth secretly, but a smile appeared on her face:

"It doesn't matter.

"I just want to know... why you were unable to successfully open the entrance to the 'Forsaken Land of Gods' after reciting that prayer?"

Leo Master paused and looked up at her.

Alice lowered her eyes and looked at him. After more than ten seconds, Leo Master looked at Anderson and Klein behind Alice.

Alice turned her head away in confusion. After a few seconds of pause, she turned back and asked hesitantly:

"Should we throw them in? Well, sacrificing a living person to open the entrance seems reasonable...

"Do you have any requirements for the choice of sacrifice?"

From Leo Master's words, Alice realized that she had most likely said something wrong. She turned her head to look at Klein in confusion. Klein's mouth twitched as he explained,

"He might mean that he wants us to leave here."

"Oh," Alice nodded thoughtfully, "Why don't you leave?"

Anderson kept turning his head to look at German Sparrow, his eyes seeming to want to say something but unable to. After Alice said this, German Sparrow looked at her without saying a word, then turned and left.

Anderson hesitated for a moment and followed.

Alice didn't think anything was wrong and turned around to look at Leo Master again.

Leo Master, who was greatly shocked by Alice's words, paused and began to organize his words:

"It's the wrong location.

"We need to enter the core of this ocean of ruins and enter a dream there when night falls. By reciting the Lord's name in the dream, we can enter the 'God-forsaken Land'.

"Next, just follow the Lord's sight..."

Alice raised her hand to stop him from telling the next part of the story, frowning and asking,

"How do we get into the deepest part of this ruined ocean?"

"Sail straight inward," Leo Master answered honestly. "It would probably take more than a month, and we might encounter all kinds of dangers along the way."

"Can't I just move to the deepest part?" Alice frowned even more deeply. "Do I have to stay on the ship for a month? Can't I just go there by 'travel' or something like that?"

"This is very dangerous..." Leo Master tried to persuade.

Alice looked at him expressionlessly and said in a cold tone:

"If I need to stay on the boat for a month, things may become more dangerous. Anyone who enters this sea area within this month will not be able to get out alive."

"Ah?" Leo Master was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"Because I'm bored," Alice replied emotionlessly.

How reasonable, an angel wants everyone to die because he is too bored... Leo Master was still kneeling on one knee, and after a full half minute of silence, he replied:

"If you need a travel companion to ease the monotony of the journey, I think I would like to be your travel companion."

Alice looked at him doubtfully, frowned and asked,

"Don't you think you are among those people I mentioned earlier?"

Leo Master was stunned for a long time before he murmured:

"Didn't you say before that you came to save me?" (End of this chapter)

Pilgrimage

  Did I say this... Oh, I think I said this the last time I saw him...

Alice was silent for a moment, then asked as a matter of course:

"Didn't I just save you?"

The rescue is done, the promise is fulfilled, so it doesn't matter if I kill him now...

Leo Master inexplicably realized this. He was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment.

As if to ease the awkwardness between them, the midday light rose and the dream ended at this moment.

Alice sat quietly staring at the bright "Apollo" for a few seconds, then jumped out of the bed, rushed out of the room and headed straight for the captain's room.

"Can I...uh, should I get out first?"

When Alice pushed the door open, she was surprised to find Cattleya just sitting up from the bed. Although Cattleya's clothes were still neat, Alice still asked this question.

"No need," Cattleya shook her head and motioned for her to close the door, "What's wrong?"

Alice closed the door carefully, and then said to Cattleya:

"I want to ask, um, in this ocean, is it possible to use a method like 'travel' to move directly to the core area?"

"...Normally, we wouldn't do that," Cattleya gave the same answer as Leo Master, "The space in this ocean is very chaotic. It's easy to get into danger if you do that, unless you trust your luck enough—"

At this point, Cattleya's voice suddenly stopped. She looked at Alice, suddenly realized something, and asked tentatively:

"Miss Destiny, is this what you want to do?"

Alice nodded.

Cattleya pondered for a moment and made a reliable yet unreliable suggestion:

"Have you asked Mr. Fool?"

Ask Klein? What's the point of asking him... But I should tell him. Oh, by the way, do I have to say the honorific name when I go in? It seems to be different from the "True Creator", but... well, let that Leo Master say it!

Alice made a happy decision and rushed out of the captain's room, leaving Cattleya with a confused look on her face.

...?

The next person Alice found was Frank Lee. Alice remembered that he took away the flesh and blood from Leo Master and planned to use it for experiments.

"Wait a minute!" Alice screamed, stopping Frank Lee from planting the bloody mass into the ground, and rushed to him, "Let me use it to find Leo Master first!"

"Who?" Frank Lee stopped his actions obediently and raised his head.

Alice paused for a moment, not hiding anything, but not saying it all out:

"The owner of this mass of flesh and blood."

This is nonsense. Frank Lee was stunned for a moment, then he quickly remembered what Alice said yesterday and suddenly realized:

"Oh, you're going to save him..."

"No," Alice denied, "I've saved him, now I'm going to kill him."

Frank Lee's expression became confused.

Ellie was not polite at all. She took the opportunity to find out the location of Leo Master through the mass of flesh and blood - their ship had sunk long ago and he was on an isolated island.

Ah this... Never mind, the good news is that at least I don't have to worry about him running away somewhere else...

Alice stood up silently from the ground and went to look for Klein under Frank Lee's dazed gaze.

Klein was having a meal in the restaurant. Anderson was staying next to him for some reason. Alice approached them and heard Anderson's voice, who was unaware of the situation:

"Ha, she is indeed from the 'Destiny' path, the notoriously useless path!"

Alice stopped hesitantly. Klein looked up at Anderson, who had his back to her. Then he smiled warmly and suggested to him:

"I recommend you turn back."

Anderson turned his head in confusion.

"Hello," Alice said to him calmly.

Anderson was silent for two seconds, then he picked up the obviously untouched plate, stood up and smiled at the two of them:

"Oh, I'm done eating, you guys chat... Ouch!"

A sailor was walking nearby with a plate of food in his hand, and some unknown fruit on top of the plate accidentally slipped and was stepped on by Anderson who was just standing up.

"I'm sorry, I...ah—"

The sailor apologized quickly, but that was not the end of the story. Anderson slipped on the strange fruit and fell to the ground. The plate slipped out of his hand and ended up falling on his face.

She is usually so gentle to me.

Klein sat there in silence. After he sighed in his heart, he glanced at the empty seat and invited Alice without changing his expression:

"Would you like to sit down and eat with us?"

Alice turned around blankly, with an expression that said, "Why are you even more abnormal than me?"

Now is not the time to ask that... Alice used her limited brain capacity to think and shook her head.

"No.

"The floor is so dirty."

The innocent sailor stood there looking at them with a little hesitation, not sure whether he should leave.

"Kevin!"

Someone shouted from a distance, and the sailor seemed to be saved, and said hurriedly:

"Someone is calling me, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, he left quickly.

In the middle of the farce, Anderson lifted the plate from his face and was about to say something when Alice turned to him and said,

"Don't worry, I won't forget to return your bad luck to you when I get off the boat."

Then, without waiting for Anderson to reply, she turned to Klein and said:

"I may have to go. Tell me, if I put six times the bad luck on him now, will the Future be in trouble?"

"Why is it six times?" Klein asked in confusion. "I remember it was five times before?"

"Yes," Alice nodded, "it just became six times as much."

Klein once again thanked Alice for being gentle with him, and then gave some reasonable advice:

"If you don't mind, you can leave a few doom spells for me and Admiral of the Stars. We will add them to him when we get off the ship..."

"Are you serious?" Anderson got up from the ground in horror. "No, are you serious?"

He suddenly realized that Alice's words about doubling the bad luck were not a joke, she was really counting seriously.

Although Anderson claimed that the "Destiny" path was a useless path, he also knew that the angels in power could definitely kill him with bad luck.

The reason why he dared to provoke Alice again and again was purely because Alice was too gentle and too obedient. She really seemed to be like what others said, like a sealed object of Gehrman Sparrow... Yes, Gehrman was obviously like this!

Anderson suddenly realized this, and he asked with wide eyes: "Why aren't you angry with Gehrman?"

"You're angry too," Alice looked at him doubtfully, "I always cursed back at him. I even hit him once…"

No, what's the point of cursing back? Beat him? Forget about really hitting him. If you just transform into a mythical creature, no one here will survive...

Anderson looked at the two of them with an incredulous look in his eyes, and that absurd thought came to his mind again:

"You two are really not lovers, right?"

"Seven times," Klein suggested calmly.

"Okay." Alice nodded.

Anderson watched them make their decision with a blank look on his face. When Alice turned to leave, he finally reacted and shouted:

"I apologize! Damn it, that's my instinct, the instinct of a 'provocateur'! The Beyonders on our path are all a bit mean-spirited..."

Alice turned around, sneered at Anderson, then turned and left.

So, when Alice left the Future, Klein found Anderson with seven doom spells:

"I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?"

"What?" Anderson looked at German Sparrow in front of him warily, fearing that he would throw a talisman at him if he was not careful.

"You can bribe me with money," Klein raised his hand. "I'll charge you 1,000 pounds for one talisman. For every 1,000 pounds you give me, I will use one less talisman. Of course, you can also choose to pay with magical items or Beyonder characteristics."

Anderson showed an expression that looked at him as a profiteer. Under Gehrman Sparrow's kind smile, he couldn't help but ask:

"Does He know about this?"

He called him "Him" again... Klein glanced at Anderson with an inexplicable feeling and replied calmly:

"This is none of your business."

Anderson gritted his teeth, taking Alice into consideration, took a deep breath, and agreed to the request:

"Okay.

"I'll find a way."

On the other side, Alice on the isolated island opened her eyes and whispered:

"I knew he wouldn't use the spell on Anderson… Humph, luckily I've already returned the bad luck in advance.

"Just wait, when I get to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods', I want him to deliver meals to me every day, all kinds of delicious meals and ice cream... He makes so much money anyway!"

For the ocean, where the rules are chaotic, it is both difficult and easy to shuttle through chaos - the good news is that she can move here like a fish in water, the bad news...

"I can't feel the angel. It's really out of control after using it once..." Alice sighed sadly, as she stuck her own state in the cycle of fate and forced to dissipate the pollution as soon as it appeared.

It was not difficult to find Leo Master, and when he saw Alice appear in front of him, Leo Master realized that he had no room for refusal - Alice even brought a small boat at Cattleya's suggestion to prevent them from falling directly into the sea in the core area.

What happened next was a natural progression. Alice took Leomaster onto the boat, and they ended up in the core area of ​​the ocean, waiting for night to fall.

When night fell, they were still in the same position as the day before. Anderson and Klein watched them from afar. Cattleya was sitting on a boulder with her knees hugged. Alice looked back at them and then looked at Leo Master.

Without her reminder, Leomaster knew what he should do. He took a few steps towards the projection of the "Giant King's Court" on the opposite mountain, took a deep breath, and prayed in a low voice in the ancient Hermetic language with a pious and solemn expression:

"Lord, the creator of everything,

"You are the omniscient and omnipotent..."

"You are the source of all greatness, the beginning and the end,"

"You are the God of Gods, you are the ruler of the vast star world!"

The sea of ​​clouds separating the two peaks suddenly boiled over and parted to the left and right, revealing a dark gap with no visible bottom.

The projection of the "Giant King's Court" opposite suddenly absorbed all the dusk light, letting it rush forward and fill the deep gap.

Then, between the two peaks, in the misty sea of ​​clouds, an orange-red road of light appeared.

Leo Master took a few steps forward with excitement, looked at the road with tears in his eyes, and murmured in a low voice:

"Lord…"

Seeing this change, Alice also walked forward, looked down at the cliff below her feet and the distance between herself and the road of light, and fell into deep thought.

"Shall we jump?" she asked calmly, turning her head.

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Leo Master's head. He also lowered his head and looked at the cliff under his feet, falling into deep thought.

"...Do you have any way to get down?" Leo Master looked at Alice with tearful eyes.

"Yes." Alice nodded solemnly, then took a step forward and jumped under Leo Master's expectant eyes.

...?

Leo Master looked at this scene blankly until a scream came from below:

"Help! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

…?

Should I jump again…?

Leo Master hesitated and moved his feet. He was standing on the edge of the cliff and slid down, falling with the sound of wind and clothes rubbing against each other.

Lord, I may not see you anymore...

Just as Leo Master was praying his last words in his heart, light rose from under his feet. He looked up blankly, and everything seemed to be in slow motion. The falling angel spread his white wings of light, flew from below to above, and grabbed him.

The sound of the wind became steady and gentle, and they slowly fell to the ground. Leo Master turned his head and saw Alice landing on the ground. The wings of light behind her turned into spots of light and dissipated into the air.

Leo Master lowered his head. The road formed by the dusk seemed unable to bear anything, but they stood on it firmly, as if they were standing on solid ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Alice looked at Leo Master who looked dazed and asked puzzledly.

"I was wondering..." Leo Master replied vaguely, "Since you have wings... no, since you can fly, why do you still scream..."

Alice blinked, looked at him suspiciously, and replied:

"But...

"Shouldn't humans scream when they fall off a cliff?" (End of this chapter)

Let's talk about it on the way back"

   Chapter 405 Chapter 88 "Let's talk about it on the way back"

"Should, should I?" Leo Master answered stutteringly and uncertainly.

Alice was very dissatisfied with this. She glared at Leo Master, turned around and left, leaving him with her back.

Leo Master followed subconsciously.

As they were about to step into the "Land Forsaken by the Gods", Alice untied the restraints on "Apollo", and a light like the morning sun floated from him and fell on the long bridge formed by dusk between the sea of ​​clouds. On the cliff, everyone was looking at their figures from afar.

"Is this his purpose?" Anderson asked Klein with a smile, "Where is that place?"

When Klein was hesitating whether to tell the truth, pea vines fell from the sky. Bernadette appeared in a forest of peas. She looked at him and said,

"He didn't decide this way from the beginning."

Her tone was firm, but her eyes were fixed on Klein.

Bernadette should know that it leads to the "God-Forsaken Land"... Klein realized this and met Bernadette's gaze. He replied without changing his expression:

"Maybe this is fate."

Bernadette didn't say anything. Anderson opened his mouth as usual, but then he remembered the seven spells of bad luck and closed it again.

No one spoke first, and the surroundings fell silent again. In this silence, Klein vaguely realized something - he forgot to ask Alice where to find the potion formula!

Having lost Alice's selfless help, he had to start thinking about who else he could turn to.

In fact, it must be in Antigonus' notebook. I can ask the goddess for help like Alice did... No, I am not Alice. I have never protected the goddess, and I have nothing to exchange for gifts from the goddess.

At this moment, Klein had completely forgotten that he had taken Alice's seven doom spells and used this as an excuse to ask Anderson for 7,000 pounds.

Of course, he shouldn't have cared about this. After all, the seemingly clear deal between them was actually a mess. Neither Klein nor Alice could figure out the deal.

So... what's the price?

Klein hadn't thought about it, and Alice certainly hadn't thought about it either. After all, as a creditor, she had nothing to worry about. She and Leo Master walked slowly towards the projection of the "Giant King's Court," one in front of the other.

Not long after, Alice and Leo Master arrived at the "Giant King's Court" projection and stood in front of the tallest building.

The building has a lost tower on one side and a round tower on the other. The main entrance is more than ten meters high. It is mainly gray-blue in color and is covered with symmetrical symbols, logos and patterns.

Alice stopped in front of the gate, looked up at the gate that was several times taller than her, and murmured:

"So high…

"Is this the giant?"

Leo Master stopped and stood behind her, saying in a fanatical tone:

"As long as you open this door and move forward under the Lord's gaze, you will reach the Lord's holy place!"

But I'm not here to find your Lord's sanctuary... Alice complained in her heart and turned around to ask in confusion:

"Can we just push the door open? No need to knock?"

Leo Master's excited expression froze. He seemed to be unresponsive and did not understand Alice's train of thought.

"That's right..." Looking back at the road formed by dusk behind her, Alice nodded thoughtfully, "Your prayer should be 'knock on the door', and then the master will open the outer door and let you walk along the road to the inner door and come in by yourself... Hey, is there a door to the sanctuary? Then this sanctuary should have three entrances and be quite large..."

Leo Master didn't seem to understand what Alice said and stared at her blankly.

This reaction was very boring. Alice curled her lips and lost interest in teasing him. She frowned and asked another question:

"You are the one who pronounced my name and opened the door. Will I be watched?"

Alice believed that there should be a way for her to isolate herself from the gaze of the "real creator", or at least not be affected.

But, it is better to have less trouble than more, and she still hopes that this thing will not happen.

Leo Master was stunned for a moment, then answered seriously:

"I don't know... This is the first time I've been so close to the Lord. I've never had this experience before..."

He spoke incoherently, to the point that he stuttered and even had grammatical errors - it was obvious that he was really excited.

Alice shook her head, realizing that Leo Master couldn't give an answer to this question either, so she stepped aside and motioned for Leo Master to open the door.

The door in the dream was not locked. Leo Master just reached out and pushed it, and the gray-blue door opened.

Unexpectedly, this scene, which should have been exciting, did not have any animation and was far less shocking than the scene where dusk was sucked in. It seemed that they had just pushed open an ordinary door - that's all.

The sanctuary he had been searching for for half his life was now so close for the first time. Leo Master was so excited that he took a step forward. Then, he merged into the gate like water and disappeared in front of Alice.

The gray-blue door was still open, Leo Master's figure disappeared, and the scene in front of him was like a frozen painting - if Alice didn't remember what the door looked like when it was closed.

Alice looked back one last time. Klein and Anderson were still in front of the cliff, with another figure standing next to them. Alice recognized it as Bernadette.

She suddenly remembered the Wheel of Fortune blasphemy card that Bernadette had promised to give her, and the "get-rich-accessory" that she had thrown to Klein. She wondered if the monocle was ready. It

should be ready. Alice remembered that Klein had said that he would give her the monocle when they left this ocean and returned.

Alice still remembered that Klein had promised her that as long as she didn't make any weird suggestions, he would give her a gift after she returned. She did it, but she hadn't received the gift yet - because they hadn't returned yet.

She still remembered that she planned to cause some minor troubles on the way back to irritate Mr. Fool, such as participating in Frank Lee's experiment, or giving Anderson double the bad luck...

Too bad she didn't return.

Alice couldn't see their expressions clearly, and she thought they couldn't see them clearly either, but she still smiled and murmured to herself and to them:

"When I come back... I want to try Intis-flavored ice cream."

Her voice was so soft that it could not reach the top of the cliff and was blown away by the wind into the sea of ​​clouds. It fell into the dusk and disappeared.

After saying this, Alice turned around and resolutely stepped into the gray-blue door that had been pushed open.

(End of this chapter)

Miss Destiny and the Angel of Destiny

   Chapter 406 Chapter 89 Miss Destiny and the Angel of Destiny

The moment she passed through the door, Alice felt dizzy, as if something was about to tear her soul apart.

Oh, does this count as motion sickness…spirituality is motion sickness…

Amidst the dizziness and pain, Alice couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

When everything finally returned to normal and the discomfort disappeared, Alice found herself on an ocean illuminated by the dusk light.

The gravel and stones here are all black. The deep blue waves surge in from afar, hitting the edge layer by layer, but without making the sound of the tide.

They are quiet, like a grand illusion show.

Alice felt the gaze from the legendary "true creator" and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the gaze. It was a mountain bathed in dusk, on which were countless palaces, countless towers and a majestic city wall.

This should be the real "Giant King's Court"... Alice seemed to have a sense of something and saw Leo Master walking over excitedly.

...never mind.

Compared to Leo Master, she was obviously a by-product. The gaze of the "real creator" stayed on her, but the muttering did not ring in her ears. Instead, the first thing Alice heard was the vague sound of prayer.

"...,

"I pray for your gaze,

"I pray that you will hear me,

"I pray for a good dream..."

Alice had heard this childish male voice countless times above the gray fog—it was none other than "The Sun" Derrick Berg.

Alice thought for a moment, ignoring the gazes still on her, and took a step forward, stepping on the illusory waves towards the real "Giant King's Court".

When her feet finally stepped on the land of "God's Forsaken Land", with clear prayers, the light of faith lit up, and Alice saw Derrick's location.

Eh, it seems to be quite close...

Alice began to seriously consider the possibility of going over to take a look.

Her goal was actually very clear. It was at the end of the "Forsaken Land of Gods," where it bordered the Western Continent... Wait, how far was it?

Alice looked back at the dark ocean behind her, then at the towering mountains in front of her, and fell into deep thought.

How long will she have to go?

After staring at Leo Master's back as he climbed the mountain and thinking for two seconds, Alice turned around along the foot of the mountain and prepared to bypass the "Giant King's Court" first.

The light of "Apollo" radiated from her body, and monsters were lurking in the darkness. Apart from that, Alice could vaguely sense the chaotic power and rules here.

Maybe she could use the chaos here to move, but if she wasn't careful, she would fall into some strange place... This intuition crossed Alice's mind, making her realize that her last possibility of speed running had also disappeared.

——If she didn't want to ask Amon for help, she could only walk to the end of the "God-Forsaken Land" and to the border between the "God-Forsaken Land" and the Western Continent.

...Maybe Silver City has a solution?

Or, Leo Master... No, if he had a solution, he wouldn't have climbed the mountain. He... Wait, is he climbing the mountain for piety?

No, that's not right. That's what a normal person thinks. The Aurora Society... Hmm...

Alice began to move forward while thinking.

How about trying divination?

Halfway through the journey, Alice finally remembered her final secret. She could find the answers to all her questions through divination.

As an angel on the path of "destiny", she has surpassed the stage of roaming the spirit world through the astral body to seek answers. Her relationship with the river of destiny is so close, yet so distant, that she can completely peek into the river of destiny... wait, where's the river?

The chaotic scenes that used to make people feel irritated did not appear this time. The long river of light that was seen during the promotion also disappeared, as if it did not exist at all.

Alice stood there for a while, realizing that this was probably the most special place in the "God-Forsaken Land" - the spiritual world here was blocked.

...?

The Key of Light? Where is the Key of Light? Are you blocked too? Isn't this place closer to you?

Alice screamed madly in her heart, but received no response. After a few minutes, she finally gave up and had to move on.

She realized that from now on, she would face an extremely embarrassing situation - her authority was almost impossible to use.

Although she didn't know how to use it... maybe she didn't know how to use it at all.

Alice looked up at the sky, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky as if in response, causing her to lower her head in silence again.

...Leodro is a psycho!

She walked forward, cursing in her heart. Soon she became bored again. In her impression, the monsters only peeked in the dark. The light emitted by "Apollo" made it impossible for the monsters to get close. She couldn't even fight... Wait, how was she going to fight?

Alice remembered Anderson's ridicule - didn't she have any other means of attack besides bad luck?

Oh, of course she did. She also had mental attacks - but would that work on monsters?

"No, actually I have another way..." Alice stepped on the ground, looked at the monsters around her, and said thoughtfully, "I can transform into a mythical creature and pounce on it... Uh, no, the 'Mercury Snake' has no teeth. I think I can only eat it alive..."

Alice stopped, slowly raised her head, looked at the monster in the dark, and licked her lips.

...What does it taste like?

No, wait, Alice, wait a minute, you shouldn't eat this, it will cause trouble... Uh, should I restart myself... Wait, it may be too late to restart, I can get stuck in a fate cycle in advance...

The reaction of her spirit was much faster than that of her brain. A silver river formed around her and circled her - now she could eat the monster without worry.

...So why would I do such a thing?

Before she could do anything even weirder, Alice quickened her pace and left.

A few minutes later, Alice swallowed her saliva and stood in the same position, lost in thought - the node of the cycle was swallowing.

A speechless feeling spread in her heart, as if she wanted to curse but didn't know what to say. Alice gritted her teeth, untied the cycle of fate in her body, and continued to move forward at the foot of the mountain.

In order to prevent her thoughts from jumping into unexpected and bizarre directions, Alice lowered her head and counted her steps attentively.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The road is so long, will it be faster to climb the mountain? Not necessarily, this mountain looks quite high, I wonder if Leo Master has climbed it... Where did I count just now?

One step, two steps, three steps...

It seems that Xiao Yang and the others are not moving much. They are just circling around in that area. Is that Silver City? Is Silver City so close... Where did I count to?

One step, two steps, three steps...

Why is the "True Creator" still looking at me? Doesn't He have anything else to do? Speaking of Ouroboros, I remember believing in Him, right? Will He tell Ouroboros my location... Uh, can He see my situation? I

don't know, forget it, don't think about it... Wait a minute, where did I count again?

One step, two steps, three steps...

After starting over again and again, Alice finally stood on the other side of the "Giant King's Court", where there was a town in the twilight.

Under the lightning, the image of the town became clear. It was built at the foot of the mountain and was naturally divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

Here, grey stones were used to build different houses. Some were hollowed out and nearly ten meters high, while others were surprisingly short. Alice felt that if Leo Master stood here, he could probably break through the roofs of some of the buildings.

These buildings are arranged compactly and spread out. Some have collapsed, while others are still standing, but they all bear signs of decay and deterioration.

The candlelight reflected from the windows of the houses, along with the uneven heights of the houses, made Alice confused.

"Is there such a big difference in height between the residents here... Also, is there anyone else living here? Why are they turning on the lights..."

Confused, Alice approached the window of one of the houses, put her face against it and looked inside.

The bright light penetrated the windows and walls, illuminating the room. Alice saw a humanoid creature covered with short black hair jumping up and down to avoid the light.

…?

Really, there are people living here…

Alice was stunned for a moment, and took a few steps back, leaving the edge of the room to the darkness. She thought for a moment, bowed to the creature in the darkness, and said seriously:

"I'm sorry.

"I, I didn't mean to disturb you.

"I'm just a little curious...I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, Alice turned around and left in a hurry, and in the process circled the light emitted by "Apollo" to prevent it from penetrating into the house.

The position of "Sun" Derrick has not changed for a long time. Alice guessed that he was resting, or rather, they were resting.

——That should be an exploration team.

Alice gathered the beam of light and walked on the road illuminated by the morning light, passing through different alleys little by little, heading to the other end of the town.

Alice was very curious about these houses of different heights. She wanted to go in and take a look, especially the taller ones, to see if the furniture inside was just as huge.

But thinking of the "resident" who had hurriedly avoided the light just now, Alice realized that the "residents" in these houses were most likely afraid of light.

Such a visit was not polite, so Alice gave up and decided to wait until she met the exploration team from the City of Silver before asking them about the situation.

Maybe, maybe they know a way to visit...

Alice thought absentmindedly as she finally approached the other end of the town.

In the light that seemed too dim compared to that of "Apollo", there were a dozen figures gathered together. Some were standing vigilantly, while others were lying down - they should be resting.

Realizing this, Alice thought about it and walked towards that team.

And up ahead, in the safe area isolated by animal skin lanterns, was the exploration team led by Silver City's chief "demon hunter" Colin Iliad.

The ones on duty were "Sun" Derrick, as well as "Weapon Master" Joshua and "Dawn Knight" Haim from the same group.

Not long ago, the power of the altar in Afternoon Town leaked out, which had a huge impact on their exploration. Nearly one-third of the members stayed here forever.

As the group following the chief, their condition was undoubtedly the best, and they naturally assumed the responsibility of being on duty.

When the light appeared in the distance, Haim, who was in charge of the afternoon town, was the first to notice the problem. He shouted in the other two directions:

"Hey, come and have a look!

" "What is that?"

Joshua and Derrick's attention was drawn to him. The light was approaching at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. At first it was just a point of light, but it soon turned into a ball of light.

When the image finally became clear, they realized that there was a blurry figure in the center, which was the source of the light.

In the midst of silence, someone shouted loudly:

"Go and call the chief!"

This sound woke them up from their dream, and they realized that the remaining members of the exploration team had gathered here.

They looked around and found that their companions had already been attracted by this strange sight. Even the chief Colin Iliad was standing behind them, looking at the figure gradually approaching them in the light.

This is inevitable.

Except for newborns and uneducated children, everyone in Silver City knew that in this land abandoned by the gods, no one except humans could use fire to create light in the darkness.

Even monsters that are good at controlling flames lurk in dark environments before launching an attack. As for other humans, all the city-states discovered by the City of Silver so far have long been destroyed and turned into ruins, with no survivors.

The only outsider they had ever seen was the strange kid Jack - no news about that kid had been released.

For the City of Silver, light is faith, hope, and the goal they have always been pursuing.

Light...

The figure walking towards them bathed in light finally stood in front of them. The figure was wearing a loose silver-white robe, which emitted a little light, and seemed to be the source of the light.

The robe had a hood, but she did not put it on, revealing her entire face. It was the face of a young girl that had not yet lost her childishness, with clear and gentle blue eyes and brilliant golden hair.

If there is a sun, would it be that color?

This thought flashed through Derrick's mind, and then he looked at Chief Colin Iliad, their backbone.

The chief of the Silver City stepped forward, standing in front of everyone, and asked Alice,

"Who are you?"

When the strange language reached Alice's ears, she was shocked to realize a fact she had overlooked - she didn't know Giant language.

So...why did she understand?

Alice realized that she understood the meaning of the question. She opened her mouth and suddenly found that she could speak Giant language without any obstacle.

This was probably one of the few treasures left to her from the past.

Alice sighed softly and glanced at Derrick. Of course, she recognized Derrick who had prayed to her, but Derrick didn't seem to recognize her.

This gave Alice a strange idea. After all, when she set foot on the land of "God's Forsaken Land", although she heard Derrick's prayer, she did not respond.

——That is to say, up to now, Derrick probably didn't know that she had come to the "God-Forsaken Land" and the City of Silver.

This gave Alice a chance to not use her real name, or even say something strange, like...

After she sighed, Alice raised her head and looked at the tall chief with sorrow in her eyes. She said in a slow and heavy voice,

"I am the angel of destiny under the Lord's throne, Ouroboros, also known as the 'Tail Swallower'."

Sukabulie!

   Chapter 407 Chapter90 Sukabulie!

The one who reacted faster than the Chief and the Silver City's exploration team was the "Real Creator" who was still watching her.

The gazes falling on her suddenly became heavy, and Alice, who was caught off guard, even suddenly heard the mutterings of the "True Creator".

The sound was very loud and one could tell the emotions were very intense. Out of curiosity, Alice tried to distinguish the content of the mumbling and vaguely heard a few syllables of "Sukabuleh".

This was not any language Alice was familiar with. With the previous incident with Giant language, Alice suspected that this might be the native language of the "true creator", or the "ancient sun god".

And it's most likely a swear word.

Although Alice's mind was racing, she was determined to put on a good show, but her expression did not change. She glanced at the people in Silver City with a compassionate look, observing their emotional changes.

Excluding the chief, there are thirteen members gathered here, which is a very unlucky number - of course, it is not really the case here.

After all, there are two most well-known sources for this statement, one is "The Last Supper" and the other is Norse mythology.

Alice's impression is that there doesn't seem to be such a view in the mysticism that has developed to date. Even if it is aimed at the new version of "The Last Supper", the number is probably not 13, but... How many people are there in "Redemption Rose"?

Goddess, Sasriel, Medici... Wait, what was I doing just now?

Alice turned her attention back to the exploration team of the City of Silver.

Putting aside the weather-beaten chief, Alice thought that the rest of the team members could be called teenagers or children, although the shortest among them was over 1.9 meters tall.

However, what made Alice quite sad and angry was that judging from their childish faces, some of them were still underage - perhaps some were even younger than her.

No, they're not as big as me combined... Alice realized this with some sadness while controlling her expression.

The children looked excited, but they were all sensible. No one spoke first. They just looked at Alice and the Chief from behind with alert but expectant eyes.

Yes, Chief.

Obviously, the right to speak the first sentence was given to the chief. Alice turned her gaze back to the chief who had appeared many times in Little Sun's mouth. However, she could not see anything.

The chief looked at her solemnly. After a long silence, he was neither excited nor agitated. Instead, he asked a question in a voice without any emotion, which Alice thought was full of caution and temptation:

"So, why are you here?"

Alice suddenly remembered a story.

This is probably an adaptation of a fairy tale, in which the sealed genie makes a wish to fulfill three wishes of the person who releases it.

So time passed day by day, and the resentment of the lamp spirit, which had been waiting in the darkness for a hundred years, gradually accumulated. Finally one day, it decided to kill the person who released it.

——It has waited too long, and the City of Silver has also waited too long.

I guess the chief just doesn't dare to question the gods.

Alice couldn't imagine how the City of Silver had managed to hold on, but now, all she had to do was come up with a reasonable answer or confront them head-on.

...Would it be weird to reveal my true colors now?

Alice glanced at Derrick, who looked a little nervous in the crowd, and finally replied:

"I have no idea.

"Destiny led me here, but here, my connection with destiny was severed.

"I guess I won't know why I'm here until the connection is reestablished."

Alice wasn't sure what the Chief was thinking, but the "True Creator" cursed even louder.

...Why are you cursing? Am I supposed to say that I was guided by the Lord to save you? !

The True Creator could not hear this complaint and continued to curse, while the Chief... After thinking for a few seconds, he seemed to have come to a conclusion and asked Alice:

"So, what do you need us to do?"

I, what do I need them to do... What can they do? Oh, I want to ask them if there is a safe way to move quickly here... Wouldn't it be a sign of guilt to ask this?

On the other side, when Alice walked through Afternoon Town and stood in front of the Silver City Exploration Team, Leo Master finally followed the gaze of the "True Creator" and arrived at the legendary sanctuary.

With excitement, he walked through the frescoed corridors, arranged the ceremony in front of the altar, and prayed for guidance from the "true creator."

The mumbling became intense at some point, and Leomaster curled up on the ground in pain. The flesh and blood on his body struggled with the shadow on the ground, trying to break free from the control of his master.

He easily felt the wrath of the "True Creator".

Amidst the furious mutterings, Leomaster struggled to understand the oracle from the "true Creator" - someone was pretending to be Ouroboros under His nose.

…?

After the furious muttering subsided a little, Leo Master was confused as to who was so bold, and he followed the light in his mind.

The location was not far away, just outside a town at the foot of the mountain.

The dangers of the "God-forsaken Land" were recorded in the holy book, but for an extraordinary person on the path of "Secret Prayer", it was not difficult to light up the light.

He was only delayed part of the time because of the monsters in Afternoon Town. With the help of Light, Leo Master successfully passed through Afternoon Town and saw a familiar figure.

A dawn-like light rippled from the silver-white robe, overshadowing the light of the animal-skin lantern and turning that area into dawn.

The owner of the light was the unknown angel who was brought into the "God-forsaken Land" by him and claimed to be there to save him.

…?

Combining the message left by the "True Creator" in his rage with the impression Alice had left on him before, Leo Master vaguely realized that if it was this person, it didn't seem strange for such a thing to happen…

so...

Alice, who was not far away, and everyone in Silver City noticed Leo Master who appeared with a torch in his hand. Compared to the people in Silver City who were mixed with surprise and confusion, Alice had a faint sense of death.

How did he get here? Is it possible that the saints of the Aurora Society don't know their angels? Is it possible? What should I do?

The angry voice of the True Creator gradually subsided after Leo Master appeared. Alice turned her head and looked at Leo Master. When she was trying to tighten her expression and think about what she should say, she heard Leo Master's question with shock and hesitation, and a sense of "I see":

"Your Highness...are you impersonating Lord Ouroboros?"

(End of this chapter)

Who is the cultist?

  "Bang!"

Leo Master froze in place at the sound of the heavy sword hitting the ground, unable to react to Alice's words.

Compared to Anderson, whose skills required a certain amount of preparation and who did not trust Alice enough, Klein's reaction was quicker. He immediately raised his left hand wearing a black glove, and a sharp blade emanated from Klein's mind, striking the spirit of the black-armored knight.

Mental piercing!

Unfortunately, the damage of this attack was not high, and the black-armored knight did not show any discomfort.

Fortunately, the black-armored knight seemed to have a bad brain, or was too arrogant - who knows? Anyway, after being attacked, he stopped chasing Leo Master, and did not pick up the sword on the ground, but looked at Klein who launched the attack.

There was no need for anyone to remind him now. Leo Master rushed over, kicked the heavy sword on the ground, caught the hilt, and swept towards the black-armored knight with the sword in both hands.

Dang!

The huge sword hit the calf, making a loud noise and leaving an inconspicuous scratch.

But that was all, the black-armored knight immediately realized his current situation, retracted his gaze, and dodged around the boulder.

At this moment, the offensive and defensive situations are different.

In the chaotic scene, Alice brought out an ending that was easiest for her to achieve. Her calm voice rang in Klein's ears:

"Hit him to death."

At the same time, Anderson's long pre-swing finally ended. His voice arrived half a step later than Alice's, pointing Klein in the direction:

"Do you have extraordinary abilities with lightning?"

Actually, in a sense I do… well, it's a little difficult in dreams.

Alice glanced at the clear sky and turned her head back to Klein.

As she expected, Klein raised his right hand, and a short milky white scepter appeared in his hand. The head of the scepter was inlaid with a circle of blue-green "gems".

"Poseidon's Scepter!"

Then, silver-white lightning shot out and landed on the black full body armor, moving on the armor like a snake. Finally, the pure black armor shattered in the silver-white light, revealing another Leo Master wrapped in it.

The two identical faces made Klein and Anderson stunned, but Leo Master, who was holding the giant sword, seemed to have expected it. He took the sword without hesitation and cut the other Leo Master in half.

This didn't seem to be able to kill a saint of the "Secret Prayer" path. Alice noticed with her sharp eyes that the two halves of the body on the ground were still squirming, trying to stick together.

She had no intention of giving any warning, but just stood there and watched. After the Leomaster holding the heavy sword had the power of life and death over the other Leomaster, he stabbed him with the sword again and again, completely turning the Leomaster on the ground into a mass of flesh and blood.

"How disgusting..." Alice frowned and gave her comment in the silence.

The condensed dusk had returned to the horizon. Cattleya hugged her knees and sat back on the boulder. Anderson turned his inquiring gaze to Gehrman Sparrow, only to find that he had walked up to Alice without her noticing.

"What should I call you, Your Highness?" After Anderson added the final flame and successfully turned the mass of flesh and blood on the ground into ashes, Leo Master came to Alice with a huge sword in hand, knelt on one knee, performed a knight's salute, and asked humbly with his head lowered.

When he kneels down, he is almost as tall as me... Alice gritted her teeth secretly, but a smile appeared on her face:

"It doesn't matter.

"I just want to know... why you were unable to successfully open the entrance to the 'Forsaken Land of Gods' after reciting that prayer?"

Leo Master paused and looked up at her.

Alice lowered her eyes and looked at him. After more than ten seconds, Leo Master looked at Anderson and Klein behind Alice.

Alice turned her head away in confusion. After a few seconds of pause, she turned back and asked hesitantly:

"Should we throw them in? Well, sacrificing a living person to open the entrance seems reasonable...

"Do you have any requirements for the choice of sacrifice?"

From Leo Master's words, Alice realized that she had most likely said something wrong. She turned her head to look at Klein in confusion. Klein's mouth twitched as he explained,

"He might mean that he wants us to leave here."

"Oh," Alice nodded thoughtfully, "Why don't you leave?"

Anderson kept turning his head to look at German Sparrow, his eyes seeming to want to say something but unable to. After Alice said this, German Sparrow looked at her without saying a word, then turned and left.

Anderson hesitated for a moment and followed.

Alice didn't think anything was wrong and turned around to look at Leo Master again.

Leo Master, who was greatly shocked by Alice's words, paused and began to organize his words:

"It's the wrong location.

"We need to enter the core of this ocean of ruins and enter a dream there when night falls. By reciting the Lord's name in the dream, we can enter the 'God-forsaken Land'.

"Next, just follow the Lord's sight..."

Alice raised her hand to stop him from telling the next part of the story, frowning and asking,

"How do we get into the deepest part of this ruined ocean?"

"Sail straight inward," Leo Master answered honestly. "It would probably take more than a month, and we might encounter all kinds of dangers along the way."

"Can't I just move to the deepest part?" Alice frowned even more deeply. "Do I have to stay on the ship for a month? Can't I just go there by 'travel' or something like that?"

"This is very dangerous..." Leo Master tried to persuade.

Alice looked at him expressionlessly and said in a cold tone:

"If I need to stay on the boat for a month, things may become more dangerous. Anyone who enters this sea area within this month will not be able to get out alive."

"Ah?" Leo Master was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"Because I'm bored," Alice replied emotionlessly.

How reasonable, an angel wants everyone to die because he is too bored... Leo Master was still kneeling on one knee, and after a full half minute of silence, he replied:

"If you need a travel companion to ease the monotony of the journey, I think I would like to be your travel companion."

Alice looked at him doubtfully, frowned and asked,

"Don't you think you are among those people I mentioned earlier?"

Leo Master was stunned for a long time before he murmured:

"Didn't you say before that you came to save me?" (End of this chapter)
