Chapter 1277: A Qualitative Change

Upon hearing Mr. Fool's words, Alger's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly

felt the feeling he had when praying to the Lord of Storms on Pasu

Island.

When he greeted The Fool, he didn't notice any changes in him.

Everything seemed to be the same as before, but at that moment, he

believed that Mr. Fool was different from before.

This was something at the spiritual level, one that Alger wasn't able to

describe accurately with words. He only felt that the body that was

enveloped by the grayish-white fog contained a terror that was tens of

thousands of times more terrifying than before. A simple sentence or

simple action could suppress a person's natural order.

*Mr. Fool has awoken further... After The World went to the Forsaken

Land of the Gods and brought out the City of Silver, Mr. Fool went one

step further in "His" awakening... "He" already has the level of a

Sequence 0? If it wasn't for the fact that the Sailor pathway is

sensitive to the level of a high-ranking person, I wouldn't have even

noticed it...* Alger wanted to say something, but he forgot what

he was about to say.

Leonard surveyed the area and saw the other members remain silent. He

probed, "According to the information we have gathered, there was indeed

a battle of gods. The participants that have been confirmed to appear

high above Backlund include the Evernight Goddess, God of Combat, and

Earth Mother. As for the outcome, I believe everyone knows it very well.

What are your thoughts on this?"

During the Tarot Gathering last week, Leonard had already mentioned the

corresponding matter and had taken the initiative to ask Mr. Fool what

had happened.

Unfortunately, Mr. Fool only told him that "He" was recently paying

attention to the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and didn't give a direct

answer.

"I can't understand why such an outcome would occur. Earth Mother and

the God of Combat should've collectively defeated the Evernight Goddess

as a mother-son duo..." Cattleya didn't conceal her puzzlement.

Alger retracted his thoughts and said after some deliberation, "I

received a report. Just as the war ended, Feynapotter changed sides."

"This means..." Audrey vaguely grasped something.

At that moment, Derrick mimicked the lady across him and raised his arm.

"I roughly know why."

"You?" Emlyn uttered a voice of distrust. After all, The Sun had

previously been isolated in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, so his

understanding of the outside world was all thanks to the other members

of the Tarot Club. How could he know more about the details of the

battle of gods than everyone present?

Alger, who knew that The Sun had always been honest, suppressed his

curiosity and excitement from the bottom of his heart as he asked in a

deep voice, "Why?"

Derrick looked around and calmly said, "You have to promise with Mr.

Fool as a witness that you can't reveal what I'm about to tell you."

"No problem." Cattleya took the lead.

After everyone made a promise to The Fool, Derrick nodded.

"Earth Mother isn't the Giant Queen, Omebella. The real Omebella has

long died. 'Her' remains are in the City of Silver."

This news was like a bomb that landed in the hearts of all the members.

It created a massive upheaval that threatened to destroy their minds.

For a moment, Alger, Audrey, and company were unable to say a word. It

was as though they had been struck by lightning. They were paralyzed in

their positions like stone statues.

After a while, Leonard asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

As soon as he said that, he began regretting his question. Since the

City of Silver had the remains of the Giant Queen, Omebella, it meant

that the whole matter was highly credible.

Subconsciously, Audrey, Fors, and Xio cast their gazes at the figure at

the end of the long, mottled table. They discovered that there was a

smile in Mr. Fool's eyes as he maintained his sitting posture without

any changes.

*This indirectly means that "He" is in agreement with the information

that Little Sun just provided...* Before Audrey answered The

Sun's question, she nodded indiscernibly and said, "This can explain

many things, but if Earth Mother isn't the Giant Queen, then why would

Angel of Fate Ouroboros believe that "She" is Omebella?

"Oh, why does the God of Combat want to work with 'Her'? Who is 'She'?"

Upon hearing Miss Justice's series of questions, Alger suddenly felt a

little emotional.

The topic of discussion amongst the Tarot Club had finally raised from

Kings of Angels to true deities!

Previously, although they had stopped the descent of evil gods and had

communicated knowledge of secret histories, they had rarely directly

discussed the true deities. This was a subconscious fear, a deep mark

left in them due to their upbringing in the present world.

And now, the members of the Tarot Club had unknowingly lost the

reverence that came from the depths of their souls.

Cattleya didn't notice this as she focused on Miss Justice's questions.

She said thoughtfully, "Perhaps that Earth Mother has always been

disguising herself as Omebella. This has managed to fool the Angel of

Fate, as well as the God of Combat...

"How is that possible..." Xio instinctively muttered.

Fors took a deep breath and said, "What a horror story."

At that moment, The World, who had been silent all this time, said,

"Nothing is impossible.

"What if this cover-up had the assistance of the Evernight Goddess and

other true deities?"

...A conspiracy that lasted for two to three thousand years...

Alger's eyes froze as he instinctively shrank back. He had an

instinctual fear of the Evernight Goddess and Earth Mother that stemmed

from his soul.

The Tarot Club members fell silent once again until Leonard repeated

Miss Justice's final question:

"Who exactly is Earth Mother?"

As he spoke, he looked at The World, Klein Moretti, and attempted to get

an answer from his former colleague.

At this moment, they heard a long-awaited knock.

It was Mr. Fool knocking on the table.

Audrey and company perked up as they turned to the end of the long

bronze table, waiting respectfully for Mr. Fool's answer.

The Fool Klein chuckled and said, "I can give you some hints."

He looked around and continued, "Why does the Church of Earth Mother

like to turn the Sanguine into believers?

"The Earth and Moon are two neighboring pathways.

"Legend has it that during the Second Epoch, the ancient god, Lilith,

who represented the Moon, died because of the Giant King's betrayal.

"'She' occasionally responds to the Sanguine's prayers as though 'She'

hasn't completely perished."

After the four prompts, all the Tarot Club members, including The Moon

Emlyn, thought of an answer:

Earth Mother's true identity is Sanguine Ancestor Lilith!

Emlyn's eyes widened as he instinctively sat up straight. His mind was a

mess as all sorts of ideas ran through it.

Leonard was first astonished before he muttered in thought, "A few days

ago, the Church of Evernight stopped promoting the title of 'Lady of

Crimson,' and changed the prayer sign from the crimson moon to that of

stars..."

As a high-ranking Nighthawk deacon, he was qualified to read the

corresponding documents.

"The Evernight Goddess used the authority of the Moon domain as a

bargaining chip?" Cattleya said the conclusion that lingered in

everyone's hearts.

At this moment, they no longer had any doubts about the true identity of

Earth Mother.

"Thank you for your hints." Audrey immediately bowed to Mr. Fool.

After the others expressed their gratitude, they looked at The Moon

Emlyn, who was still looking stupefied.

*Mother Goddess is the Ancestor... The Ancestor is Mother Goddess... So

I've never changed my faith... It's no wonder I still continue going to

the Harvest Church even without Father's corresponding psychological

cues... That's because my intuition told me that the Mother Goddess is

the Ancestor! Therefore, the Ancestor has favored me and made me the

savior of the Sanguine...* Thoughts flashed through Emlyn's mind

as he found a reasonable explanation for the guilt he had previously

felt.

He began to believe that he was the most devoted Sanguine!

Glancing at the "Earl," Fors smiled with interest.

"Mr. Moon, perhaps you might become the archbishop of the Church of

Earth Mother after some time. No, it should be the sole Sanguine

representative of the Church of the Earth Mother."

This writer immediately came up with a nickname.

"Why?" Emlyn asked in puzzlement.

He believed that the Ancestor would allow the Sanguine to maintain their

former state and not merge with the Church of Earth Mother directly.

Leonard smiled and said, "Since the Evernight Goddess doesn't have the

title of 'Lady of Crimson,' Earth Mother will soon have a similar

honorific name. It's impossible to fool the other Churches."

Emlyn roughly understood what the upper echelons of the Church of

Evernight were thinking. He nodded slightly and began imagining a series

of scenes.

His kinsmen, who had previously mocked him for believing in Earth

Mother, would queue up in front of him and accept his baptism.

With this in mind, Emlyn's mood turned extremely happy as he couldn't

help but raise his chin.

After the exchange, the members of the Tarot Club fell silent for a

moment, not knowing what to say.

A few seconds later, Alger broke the silence and calmly said, "Most of

our members are demigods, so the time it will take to advance will

lengthen. Furthermore, we have our own factions. We might need a few

years before having a single chance of obtaining Beyonder

characteristics, potion formulas, and Sealed Artifacts. The focus of the

gathering now might switch to exchanging information and engaging in

secret cooperation."

Audrey, Cattleya, Leonard, and company nodded in agreement.

At this moment, The Fool Klein surveyed the area and chuckled.

"With the matter regarding the Forsaken Land of the Gods over, my

condition has recovered quite a bit. You can exchange items of higher

levels from me."

He pretended to be calm as he revealed the "truth" that he was

recovering. This was an answer that every member of the Tarot Club had

long guessed.

Just as Audrey and company were guessing which level Mr. Fool had

awakened to, Klein smiled and added, "Those items of higher levels

include:

"The Sea God's identity, level, and strength."
