Chapter 617: The Mysterious Adam

The son of the Creator? Alger was stunned by The Hermit's

description as he couldn't help but twitch his brows.

However, he didn't directly inquire further because this could very

likely expose certain matters. Besides, he was very confident that there

would be other members asking.

"The son of the Creator?" Fors asked with piqued interest.

She never expected that Amon had such a shocking identity, aside from

the titles like Blasphemer and King of Angels. She was filled with

curiosity over this.

Cattleya swept her a look and said without a change in tone, "Legend has

it that back when the original Creator split into the various deities

and races, 'His' body produced two babies. One of them was Blasphemer

Amon."

*The mural inside Amon's mausoleum was somewhat different from your

description. Back when Amon and Adam was born, the Creator had just

awoken and withdrew the authorities of the ancient gods. "He" was seated

high on a holy mountain and was surrounded by angels as they praised

him. There were no signs of him dying or splitting...*

*That mural does have something in common with the City of Silver's

historical records... Perhaps the Creator had really awoken twice. And

perhaps the original Creator and Amon's father, the Creator as recorded

by the City of Silver, aren't the same person. Both of them have an

inheritance relationship...* As Klein listened to Ma'am Hermit's

description, he began theorizing.

*Amon is actually the son of the Creator... Such a status is in no way

inferior to the true gods! As for Mr. Fool, our Tarot Club was able to

easily purify "His" avatar and stop "His" possession...* Audrey

recalled the past matters and suddenly felt that she had unknowingly

exceeded many ordinary Beyonders. The circles and levels of knowledge

exposure that the two groups had differed by more than a hundred times!

She asked with piqued interest, "Ma'am Hermit, do you know the other son

of the Creator?"

"Adam," Cattleya answered succinctly.

"..."

Audrey was clearly taken aback. This was because her question only

required a "yes" or "no." After receiving the confirmation that she

knew, she would ask for the details and make it clear that she was

willing to pay for it. Who knew that Ma'am Hermit had directly given her

the name, Adam.

*She doesn't seem to care too much about such information... She's in

control of a lot of information...* Audrey managed to infer

certain matters through this detail as her eyes darted about.

"I've never heard of an important figure named Adam."

"I haven't either. Apart from being recorded as the son of the Creator,

it's like 'He' has never appeared before. There are nearly no traces of

'Him' in the history of the Fourth Epoch," Cattleya answered frankly.

*This Adam is very mysterious... I'm already rather well-versed in the

Fourth Epoch's three empires of Solomon, Tudor, and Trunsoest, as well

as the angel families that come under them. Yet, I've never heard of

"Him" before. If it wasn't for Arrodes who live-streamed the Church of

Steam and Machinery's exploration of Amon's mausoleum, I wouldn't have

even known "His" name... Has "He" long perished, or is "He" hidden in

the dark while scheming something?* Klein sighed inwardly.

Audrey subconsciously glanced at Mr. Hanged Man and discovered him

shaking his head as well.

*Amon is a King of Angels, so it doesn't make sense for Adam to not be

one. There should be records in the City of Silver...* Audrey

looked at Derrick.

For some reason, Derrick easily understood what was on Miss Justice's

mind. He said in slight embarrassment, "We do not know about Adam, just

like how we don't know about Amon.

"I was previously searching for ancient tomes related to the King of

Angels. I believe that I was lacking in clearance as my Sequence was

still low at that time. I will continue searching for information on

this."

King of Angels... Cattleya moved her fingers indiscernibly as

she memorized the phrase.

She knew that Miss Justice would definitely answer if she asked, so

without waiting, she directly asked, "Amon is a King of Angels that all

of you are referring to?"

"Yes." To thank Ma'am Hermit for her generosity, Audrey explained in

detail, "In the records of the City of Silver, the Creator had many

angels attending to 'Him.' Among them, the leaders of the angels who

were closest to the throne of God were deemed King of Angels.

"We haven't managed to confirm many King of Angels. One of them is the

Angel of Fate Ouroboros who originates from the ancient tomes of the

City of Silver. 'His' title is Tail Devourer. The second is Medici, who

Mr. Fool happened to mention. We are still unsure of 'His' title. The

third is a guess. We suspect that Amon is the Angel of Time among the

King of Angels. Since he is a King of Angels, Adam, who is also a son of

the Creator, is very likely one as well."

*Haven't managed to confirm many... I don't even know the term 'King of

Angels,' but you have already grasped half of 'Them.' That's not many?

None of your Sequences are higher than mine...* Cattleya nearly

became speechless.

Only at this point did Emlyn really understand the meaning behind a King

of Angels. He decided to use these names to seek out traces of the King

of Angels via the secret historical records the Sanguine had in their

control after he returned to the real world.

Cattleya fell silent for two seconds before saying, "Mr. Sun, you were

once possessed by Amon?"

"Yes; it was 'His' avatar," Derrick answered honestly. "However, 'He'

was purified by Mr. Fool. I wasn't injured at all."

Purified by Mr. Fool... Cattleya couldn't hold back the urge

to look at the end of the long bronze table.

She originally imagined that she had a general idea of Mr. Fool's state,

believing that "He" was still in a state of reawakening and was unable

to use much of his powers. This was why he sought the identity of Sea

God and obtained that scepter. However, the present situation shook the

foundations of her speculation. She felt that Mr. Fool was like an

iceberg. What was hidden beneath the surface was even more terrifying

and unfathomable!

*"He" easily thwarted Amon's plans... Under certain situations, "He" can

briefly break through the restrictions and produce strength at the level

of a god?* Cattleya's heart sank as she didn't ask further. She

cautiously shut her mouth.

At this moment, Audrey had thought of something that puzzled her because

of this topic. She proactively asked, "Ma'am Hermit, after Amon's avatar

was purified by Mr. Fool, a worm with twelve transparent rings was left

behind. It's said to be a Worm of Time. Is that correct?"

Cattleya recalled for two seconds before saying, "...Yes."

"Which pathway does it belong to? I mean, which Beyonder pathway does

the Blasphemer pathway belong to?" Audrey pressed out of curiosity.

Cattleya answered directly without any thought, "The Marauder pathway.

"Legend has it that at the Saint or Angel level, they are able to fool

fate and cheat the rules, becoming a parasite of time."

Sounds very impressive... Audrey marveled inwardly before

asking, "Then, what can a Worm of Time be used for?"

Nice question! Klein secretly cheered for Miss Justice.

He pumped himself up as he waited for Ma'am Hermit to give the answer.

He happened to have a Worm of Time in his junk pile!

"It's a material with rich spirituality and unique effects. It can be

used in particular rituals or be used to create high-level charms. But

as for how, I'm not sure." After Cattleya answered, she suddenly sighed.

She recalled the nightmare of being constantly pursued by knowledge, as

well as the massive amount of information that could seemingly burst her

brains.

But even so, she still didn't know a lot.

*If the Hidden Sage hadn't gone mad and could provide knowledge bit by

bit, I'll actually be more than happy to learn from "Him"...*

Cattleya secretly sighed.

*All that matters is that it's useful... As for how it's used, I have

other people to consult...* Klein controlled The World with

great satisfaction and looked at Emlyn.

"Mr. Moon, I have something I would like to communicate with you in

private."

Aren't the transactions over? Emlyn nodded, feeling somewhat

uncertain.

"Okay."

The World immediately requested for Mr. Fool's permission and

successfully obtained the privilege of isolating everyone.

Then, he looked at Emlyn White and said, "I wish for you to present to

me every action which Leonard Mitchell made in your memories."

"Why?" Emlyn asked in puzzlement.

"It involves certain secrets," Klein controlled The World to answer

succinctly.

*His true goal wasn't to buy that mystical item, but to observe Leonard

Mitchell? That fellow has deep secrets... The World as well. For an

investigation, he was willing to spend 7,500 pounds! However, that

mystical item is indeed powerful. Isn't The World constantly seeking a

way to eliminate the mental corruption in a Beyonder characteristic?

This is likely useful...* Emlyn suppressed his wandering

thoughts as he seriously recalled Leonard Mitchell from his point of

view. With Mr. Fool's help, he conjured a video in the form of streaming

light.

When the streaming light landed in The World's hands, Klein quickly

browsed through it.

He confirmed that Leonard really knew the existence of the Grandpa, but

he was unable to determine if he understood the danger.

Temporarily suppressing any corresponding thoughts, Klein removed the

isolation barriers and allowed the Tarot Club members to continue.

At this moment, Audrey was reminded of something by Mr. World's private

communication. She hurriedly looked at Fors and asked in concern, "Miss

Magician, did you discover any abnormalities at Williams Street?"

"That will require Mr. World to answer you," Fors said, having been put

into a difficult position.

Without waiting for Miss Justice to speak again, Klein controlled The

World and hoarsely replied, "There were abnormalities.

"But I have already informed the Church of Evernight and the Church of

Steam.

"If there are any future problems, I might require your help."

"Alright!" Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.

Informed the Church of Evernight and Steam... This... Cattleya

found the description ludicrous.

From what she knew, a secret organization like the Tarot Club was a

natural enemy of the official Beyonders. There was no room for any

compromises between the two, but the way The World had dealt with it and

the words he used had made it seem like the Tarot Club was an

organization that cooperated with the official Beyonders...

Colored by these feelings, she listened to the rest of the conversation

before bowing and bidding farewell when Mr. Fool made the closing

remark.

Soon, Klein was the only one left above the gray fog.
