Chapter 890: Ignore "Him"

Regarding Miss Justice's question, Klein had already considered it some

time ago. After all, leaving troublesome problems to the official

organizations who could resolve them was his modus operandi. However,

Leonard's and Pallez Zoroast's reaction made him realize something

different.

Leonard was a Red Glove of the Nighthawks. He could easily create an

informant to pass the news of Amon being in Backlund to the Church of

Evernight, and then let the archbishop and high-ranking deacons decide

on a strategy before carrying out an operation. It wouldn't expose his

problem, and it could also quash any latent troubles. Yet, he had chosen

to leave using the excuse of a mission. It was obvious to Klein that

Amon's appearance was tied to the reason for Leonard's choice of action.

He had the suspicion that informing the Church of Evernight might result

in unpredictable negative outcomes. Therefore, the angel of the Marauder

pathway in Leonard's body had denied this choice of action. And "He" was

one of the existences who knew the various Beyonder powers that Amon

possessed.

*When I have no idea what to do, the choice is undoubtedly to emulate

those with experience... Although there's the gray fog separating us,

and any problem will cease at Miss Justice's side, there's no need to

take such risks. There aren't many members of the Tarot Club to begin

with. Every one of them needs to be cherished...* Thoughts

flashed through The Fool Klein's mind as he shook his head and said with

a calm, humored tone, "Ignore 'Him.'"

*Ignore "Him"... Mr. Fool's attitude is as if Amon is a stray dog... In

"His" eyes, only Sequence 0 true deities are worthy of attention? That's

right. The last time The Sun was possessed by Amon's avatar, Mr. Fool

had easily cleansed it away. As long as Amon doesn't appear in person,

it's not too big a problem for "Him"... Hmm, the reason Mr. Fool

emphasized this matter at the beginning is to warn us to be

careful...* Alger thought in fearful respect and enlightenment.

Audrey similarly interpreted the meaning that it was a trivial matter.

She suddenly made the connection.

*Is Mr. World Gehrman Sparrow's temporary departure of Backlund to avoid

Angel of Time Amon? To Mr. Fool, although "He" is still slowly

recovering "His" standing, level, and powers, it's not difficult for

"Him" to deal with Amon's avatar. The Sun's encounter is evidence...

"He" got "His" Blessed to avoid Amon to not attract the Angel of Time's

real body, as this can spoil "His" plans of awakening?*

*Yes, "He" emphasized it to us as a warning, worried that we wouldn't

react properly when chancing upon Amon. Mr. Fool really shows "His"

concern for us!*

At this moment, Emlyn had just digested the matter of King of Angels

Blasphemer Amon's appearance in Backlund.

Although he was arrogant, repeated Tarot Gatherings had allowed him to

understand what a King of Angels was. It was an existence second to

Sanguine Ancestor Lilith, second to the true deities that sat at the

pinnacle Sequence. "They" were the strongest ones who walked the real

world!

*What's going to happen this time in Backlund? When the time comes,

there will be dead people, the wounded, or the sick everywhere outside.

I'll become busy again because of Father...* Emlyn recalled his

life after the Great Smog of Backlund as he showed signs of fear, fear

that such matters would happen again.

Fors also felt that the problem was significant. This was because if

Angel of Time Amon really wanted to do something, it was very likely

that "He" would inflict damage on a large scale. It was something that

she could avoid by hiding at home and not heading out.

She silently drew a breath and looked to the end of the long bronze

table, worriedly asking, "Honorable Mr. Fool, why is Amon sending 'His'

avatar to Backlund?"

Klein deliberated over his choice of words and looked around the table

with a smile.

"To look for all of you."

To look for us? The sentence seemed to be like bolts of

lightning that struck Fors and company awake. It left their spines numb.

Right on the heels of that, Audrey made the connection of the reply to

"ignore 'Him'" from before. She found Mr. Fool like the boundless ocean,

and a mere avatar of Blasphemer Amon was just a rock. It could only

cause a tiny stir and nothing more.

*Although Amon's avatar came to find us Tarot Club members, Mr. Fool has

said to ignore "Him," so there's no need to bother about "Him"... Praise

Mr. Fool!* Audrey's nerves that had just tensed up instantly

relaxed.

Emlyn, Fors, and Derrick also figured out something similar. They either

leaned back into their seats, exhaled openly, or praised Mr. Fool from

the bottom of their hearts.

Cattleya hadn't joined when Amon possessed The Sun Derrick, and she had

only learned of it during a few of the subsequent discussions.

Therefore, she knew little and didn't have deep thoughts about it. She

just felt worried over the situation where Amon, a King of Angels, was

seeking out the Tarot Club members.

Why would a King of Angels like Amon target the Tarot Club?

"He" likely discovered our organization from The Sun...

What goal does "He" have, and why is "He" so confident?

*"He" is targeting Mr. Fool? "He" can sense the abnormalities of the

gray fog?*

*But Mr. Fool said to ignore "Him"... This means that, under normal

circumstances, Amon is unable to tell who is a Tarot Club

member?*

*With Kings of Angels appearing, is the Fifth Epoch coming to an

end?*

After Alger relaxed from his tensed state, he began thinking about

something else.

Back when he informed the Church of Storms about Bansy Harbor's problem,

his excuse was that he had heard "someone at a bar mentioning it." And

he had described this person using Blasphemer Amon's image!

*Thankfully, even if the Church were to encounter Amon, with the way

they handle things, they wouldn't verify and question this matter. And

regardless of Amon's performance or because of his identity, they will

definitely find him extremely suspicious and place weight on this

suspicion...* Alger wasn't worried that he would expose himself

for this trivial problem; he only believed that it was best that he

should be careful and not randomly use high-ranking Beyonders,

especially angels and above, as scapegoats.

Hence, he warned himself.

*Although not every high-ranking Beyonder is at the level of "any

mention of it will be known," or have similar powers, mentioning it

excessively might result in me encountering that existence due to the

machinations of fate. After all, the higher one goes, the deeper the

connections of fate will be!*

Seeing that the Tarot Club members, especially the three who were in

Backlund, had already shown signs of wariness about Amon's avatar and

had written off the thoughts of being rash and not plan on targeting the

Blasphemer, he calmed down and leaned back, leisurely looking at

everyone as an indication that the floor was theirs.

Cattleya reined in her worries over the Northern and Southern Continent

and the Five Seas before looking to the seat of honor at the long bronze

table.

"Honorable Mr. Fool, I have three new diary pages again this time."

She remembered vividly that, at the end of last Monday's Tarot

Gathering, she had informed the meaning of the two "Rosellean

characters" to Queen Mystic. However, she only received a reply on

Sunday. In it were three new diary pages and a question of medium

length.

"The place his mind and spirit calls home, is it on that island, or the

depths of the cosmos?"

When Cattleya ruminated over this question, she seemed to sense the

emotional upheavals that were happening when Queen Mystic wrote it,

unlike her usual calm self.

With regards to this, she sighed silently based on her understanding of

Queen Mystic Bernadette.

*In Her Majesty's heart, Emperor Roselle is an unresolved knot. This is

the reason why she ultimately doesn't dare to advance to Sequence

2?*

Klein had no idea what Ma'am Hermit was thinking; all he did was nod and

indicated that she could conjure the new Roselle diary pages.

Soon, the three yellowish-brown goatskin pages appeared in his palm.

"10th March. I participated in that ancient and most secret

organization's gathering.

"After many observations, I'm increasingly puzzled over a problem: What

does it mean to be the trend of the times? Who defines the trend of the

times?

"If it's really as they claim, when everything ends and the original

Creator is resurrected from the dead, awakening from his slumber, he

would gather everything back into his body to create a new world and new

history. Then, there's no need for them to let the times develop

according to what they expect of the times. They can quickly come up

with all kinds of schemes, such as triggering a world war, a war between

angels, or even a war between deities. Wouldn't that accelerate their

goals?

"Or could it be the case that 'the times' is part of the original

Creator? Only when 'the times' develop according to a certain

expectation can 'He' draw energy from it and revive? This isn't

scientific... Of course, whatever I see and participate in now isn't

scientific at all...

"Actually, if I had any say, why revive the Creator who rides above all?

Everyone can just go through the motions and enjoy themselves without

any restrictions. Isn't that better?

"Based on my observations, hehe, there are many members who share

similar viewpoints as mine. However, there are a number of members who

are stubborn and inflexible, strictly abiding to their beliefs. I wonder

if they should be called idealists or crazy cultists.

"What I can't see through the most is that mysterious leader. Old Mister

Hermes told me that this organization began with him, no---'Him'. It was

organized with people who shared 'His' beliefs and goals. However, 'He'

seldom expresses 'His' thoughts, never stopping many of the members who

use the organization for their own purposes. At times, I will even

forget 'His' existence. 'He' seems to enjoy sitting there, silently

watching everyone converse.

"But on one matter, I witnessed 'His' might. A High-Sequence Beyonder

who had gone against their so-called trend of the times was put forth by

'Him.' In thirty seconds, the person became a target of elimination. And

I believe that the poor fellow wouldn't survive past summer.

"Who is 'He'? Some ancient god that survived the Second Epoch??"

Roselle had used two question marks at the end of the sentence to

express his strong doubts. This was something he seldom did; hence,

Klein suspected that this was the reason why Bernadette had chosen this

diary entry.
