Chapter 812: Myth from Another Perspective

Upon clearly seeing the picture through Senor's vision, Klein's heart

raced so loudly that even he could hear it.

As a Seer who was good at interpreting revelations and symbolism, he

felt his blood gush to his head, leaving his head swelling. It seemed to

prevent him from engaging in thinking deeper into it.

Even so, there was an ethereal voice belonging to him that resounded in

his mind. It was filled with alarm.

*Th-that figure that's dismembered and eaten likely represents the

ancient sun god, the Lord that created everything, the omnipotent and

omniscient God which the City of Silver believes in!*

*And I-I've seen the three evil figures surrounding "Him"

before!*

*In the underground ruin in Backlund, the place that sealed that

terrifying evil spirit!*

*They existed in the form of a statue but didn't look as evil as the

picture depicts them to be. Th-they each respectively

represent:*

*The Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge

and Wisdom!*

*Suddenly, Klein recalled the name he had once received, one that he had

directly received when looking straight at the Eternal Blazing

Sun:*

White Angel!

*No... no way... Could it be that the Eternal Blazing Sun was once an

Angel by the ancient sun god's side? Little Sun once mentioned that they

heard an ecclesiastic's penitence and prophesy of a matter in Afternoon

Town. One of the sentences was "The Kings often came to the palace

belonging to the dusk to conspire..." the Eternal Blazing Sun was

originally named White Angel, which is also a King of Angels, one that

betrayed that Creator?*

*And "He" and the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and

the dark infant who I have no idea what it represents had benefited the

most out of consuming the City of Silver's Creator... The bibles of the

various Churches mention that the three most ancient deities were born

from the Original Creator's spirit... In a sense, it's actually hinting

at this dark history?*

*If my theories are correct, then the Lord of Storms and the God of

Knowledge and Wisdom are likely the Kings of Angels that served the

Creator, the ancient sun god, who the City of Silver worships. Perhaps,

"They" should be addressed as Wind Angel and Wisdom Angel...*

*This way, all eight Kings of Angels are accounted for---Dark Angel,

White Angel, Wind Angel, Wisdom Angel, Angel of Imagination, Angel of

Time, Angel of Fate, and Red Angel... From what Little Sun heard, and

from the subsequent developments of these Kings of Angels, it seems that

apart from the two sons of god, Amon and Adam, the other Kings of Angels

had betrayed the Creator... No way, this ancient sun god ended way too

tragi... However, this picture might not be real. It might be sacrilege.

It's still suspect...*

*I wonder who the dark infant sitting in the ancient sun god's abdomen

represents... It feels like the True Creator is the greatest

suspect...* Klein instantly thought of many matters as he felt

the urge to leave and pretend that he hadn't seen the picture the deeper

he pondered over the matter.

At that instant, he felt an irrepressible sense of fear, to the point of

feeling that the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of

Knowledge and Wisdom were casting their gaze down from the astral world

in his imagination.

*Who left this picture behind? Who could've known so many secrets and

clearly be on the ancient sun god's side? One of the other Angels or

Saints that have been constantly following the City of Silver Creator

with enduring faith?* Klein's back oozed with sweat as his body

trembled slightly.

Although Alger's observational abilities were inferior to Miss Justice,

he was an experienced Beyonder. In this environment that needed a high

sense of vigilance and awareness, it wasn't difficult for him to notice

that something odd had happened to Gehrman Sparrow.

"What happened?" he asked with a suppressed tone.

Klein suddenly snapped to his senses as he made Senor move his gaze away

as he pointed at the circular region in the middle.

"You'll know just by looking at it."

*A picture that can make Gehrman tremble? Will it make me lose control

immediately? It's probably not a problem since he's not stopping me but

suggesting that I take a look. However, I cannot eliminate the

possibility that he has already lost his reasoning and is just acting

normal...* Many thoughts flashed through Alger's mind, but

ultimately, he steadily walked towards the central region with his

lantern in hand.

After about eight steps, he saw the gloomy picture.

In just three seconds, Alger's hands trembled with the dagger and

lantern in his grip. It was as though he was suffering from some kind of

mental illness.

Thanks to The World Gehrman, he had once seen the six orthodox deities'

anthropomorphic statues in the Tarot Club. He naturally recognized that

the arm-eating, heart-ripping, and brain-guzzling figures were

respectively the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of

Knowledge and Wisdom!

In the past, he had committed a disloyal act to the Church whilst under

Qilangos's coercion, he joined the Tarot Club and distanced himself from

the Chasm of Storm, believed in Mr. Fool and wished to gain more

strength and power, and he leaked the Church's intel and was unmotivated

in certain matters. Even so, he ultimately believed himself to be a

believer of the Lord of Storms, albeit someone who wasn't devout and

passionate enough. But at that moment, he felt deep down in his heart

that he had committed a grave sin of sacrilege. He nearly dug out his

eyes in horror.

*To not kill myself directly, it means that I really have become a false

believer...* Alger didn't dare take another look as he turned

around and looked at Gehrman Sparrow. With a trembling voice, he asked,

"Those three are Kings of Angels?"

"I can't give you confirmation. All I can say is that the Eternal

Blazing Sun is intimately connected to the White Angel," Klein vaguely

answered.

As expected... Alger immediately felt that the possibility

that the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of

Knowledge and Wisdom were once Kings of Angels.

As for Gehrman Sparrow not being able to confirm the situation, he

wasn't too surprised. It wasn't odd since he was only a Blessed and not

Mr. Fool.

Alger was just about to say something when he heard a sharp screech.

It was as though someone was using their fingernails to scratch the lid

of a stone coffin!

No, it wasn't an analogy, and it was exactly what was happening!

Schwing! Rip! Sizzle!

Sharp, jarring sounds of scratching sounded from three stone coffins on

both sides. Then, the heavy lids were either flung open or blasted open

as three warped figures stood up.

One of them wore an ancient white robe that had nearly turned gray. Its

face was riddled with pockmarks, and across its neck, forehead, and the

back of its hands were deep eyes. Beside it was a figure with huge palms

and thick fingers that looked as though they were made of wood.

Slathered around its body was a layer of yellow-green pus as a mist of

the same color emanated out of it, seemingly capable of eroding away the

stone coffin.

Opposite the two was a figure in a tattered brown jacket with a

triangular hat with a skull on it. Many parts of its skin had rotted

away, revealing the bone beneath.

Under its clothes and pants, thick and slimy tentacles that had fish

scales embedded inside had burrowed out as it released a domineering,

savage, tyrannous, and terrifying aura. This even made Klein feel as

though he was facing a High-Sequence Beyonder from the Storm pathway.

However, its body didn't appear to reach that level.

The three deceased bodies that crawled out of the coffin cast their eyes

in the direction of Gehrman Sparrow and Alger. One produced silver bolts

of lightning that crackled. Another reflected the duo's figures in the

countless eyes it had. The last one spread its yellow-green mist and

created brown vines.

At the same time, they stormed over with loud and hurried footsteps as a

six-winged gargoyle was rushing over.

Upon seeing this, Klein didn't panic. His Leymano's Travels-wielding

left hand reached into his pocket, tore open the wall of spirituality,

and used two fingers to pick out Azik's copper whistle.

Right on the heels of that, he flicked his wrist and threw the copper

whistle to the other side of the room. Without any surprises, he saw the

three deceased bodies with terrifying auras turn around and rush towards

it like trained hounds.

Upon seeing this scene, Alger's gaze froze before he made a decision. He

threw his lantern and rushed for the door.

His experience told him that while Gehrman Sparrow could deal with the

three terrifying deceased, he needed to hold back the six-winged

gargoyle to prevent it from interfering with the crazy adventurer's

battle.

Bang!

Just as Alger arrived at the door, he saw the double door crack. A

six-winged gargoyle was charging in with an eight-meter-long trident.

He immediately drew a gasp as his eyes burned with rage. His muscles

swelled, and under the aid of the wind, he charged forward and

brandished the dagger that swirled with silver lightning.

Bang!

He dodged the stone trident that smashed downwards, and he cleaved at

the gargoyle's abdomen with a dagger.

Instantly, sparks flew as rubble sprayed everywhere. Alger flew

backwards as the gargoyle's charge was disrupted.

Bang! Alger heavily slammed into the ground. As he had created

an air cushion in time, he didn't suffer any serious injuries.

And at this moment, the three deceased bodies had gathered together to

vie for Azik's copper whistle.

Klein looked at them and calmly flipped Leymano's Travels to a

charred-yellow page with complicated patterns and symbols.

This was a demigod-level power that he recently recorded---Lightning

Storm!

Then, Klein slid one finger across the notebook page with his Death

Knell-wielding hand.

At the same time, he looked at the three mutated deceased bodies who

were vying for Azik's copper whistle. With a deep voice, he greeted

them:

"Bye bye."

Amidst sizzling sounds, bolts of lightning burst forth, meshing together

to form a hurricane, enveloping the region where Azik's copper whistle

was, as well as the three deceased bodies.

The entire tomb was instantly lit up like it was daytime. Even Alger

nearly failed to open his eyes. His body instinctively trembled as a

result of the terrifying aura.

With the aid of the wind, he leaped up with the hurricane taking form in

his eyes. He once again charged at the six-winged gargoyle that

attempted to attack Gehrman Sparrow.
