Talking about Remuneration
Chapter 1295: Talking about Remuneration.
Angel sighed with some regret as he watched the "Gate" Mr. Bethel Abraham, who had not yet completely condensed into a solid entity in the mirror world, as if cast by starlight and with ripples on the outer contour. He clenched his fists and his expression showed an angry expression of being played with.
After she directly integrated into this space through the authority of the "mirror world" and avoided all attacks, she originally wanted to try the authority of "female" power and deliberately pretend to be young to charm the ancient angel king of the Fourth Epoch, but she seemed to have done something wrong.
Perhaps it was because of her former status as an angel king that Bethel was difficult to be charmed by Sequence 1, or it could be that Angel was not familiar with using this power on outsiders. After all, she had been a witch for exactly two and a half years, and her "charm" was almost only directed towards Klein. In battle, she was always used to being straightforward and using force to convince others.
Thinking of this, she was somewhat angry and condensed her body in the special mirror world again. Her left hand still held the uniqueness of the "Red Priest", and the blood-stained banner fluttered above her head, making people kneel down to worship. In her right hand was the "Sword of Glory" with jagged bones and a dusk glow around it.
After becoming the master of the mirror world, Angel was able to directly take out the "0" level seal surrounded by many mirrors from the underground memorial hall of the "Dream City". As long as it was returned in time, it would not cause too much trouble.
When she becomes a true god and has the kingdom of God, she believes that this will be easier.
Facing the banner that turns the black flame of destruction into a colorless flame that is quiet but contains deadly danger, and the bone sword that uses the dusk glow to make the surrounding creatures age continuously and move slowly, Bethel started to act without hesitation.
His figure faded again and appeared in every corner of the mirror world. These "Bethels" with exactly the same shape and different movements immediately raised their hands, their eyes flickered, and were about to attack the reappeared Angel with many recorded angel-level abilities.
Starting from the Sequence 4 "Mystic", Beyonders in the "Gate" path can enter a continuous flash state with a high-level travel ability, appear in multiple places at the same time, and use the different "Star Bugs" in their bodies to quickly use Beyonder abilities to achieve the effect of "one person surrounds all enemies" with more people against fewer people.
At the level of authority and symbolism, the figures that appear in "Flash" are almost endless, and are only related to factors such as the current state of the Beyonder and the size of the space.
If Bethel still contains three copies of Sequence 1 characteristics and the corresponding uniqueness of the complete "Gate" state, it can even appear in different locations on different battlefields at the same time, and contain multiple archangels and angel kings of similar levels. Although it cannot win, it is enough to hold back several times the number of enemies.
But He is not the real Angel King now, and the enemies he faces are far stronger than any angel other than the True God during the Four Emperors War!
The space around Angel twisted, and starlight continued to gush out, as if connecting to another alien space. Then this starlight swept the entire closed special mirror world, making Bethel's high-speed flashing movements immediately slow down a lot. Two-thirds of the phantom disappeared in an instant, making this mirror world seem a lot emptier.
That was the effect of another "Star Key"!
As a "doomsday" witch, Angel could not accommodate this extraordinary characteristic, and it was difficult to use it directly because it was not adjacent to its path. However, the special mirror world was originally opened up with the help of Mr. "Gate" during the Tudor Empire of the Fourth Epoch with the authority of "space". The "Star Key" naturally had a certain impact on it, and Angel used it to strengthen his control over this space and suppressed Bethel's high-speed movement.
But those figures who repeatedly appeared and disappeared by flashing had completed a round of attacks. Countless flame spears and air shells reproduced by the "recording" ability smashed over, forcing Angel to hide his figure again and merge with the mirror world.
"Heh, it seems that apart from Amon and Antigonus, and your 'Blood Emperor', you can't even find an angel who allows you to record your abilities freely?"
The mocking words appeared in Bethel's ears layer by layer, causing his eyes to twitch a little, but he immediately stabilized his emotions and took this opportunity to make all the figures become virtual and distorted, turning into arch-shaped symbols that were dyed with bright starlight and no longer had a physical body.
That was the embodiment of the concept of "door". Just like Angel merged into the mirror world, he could also become a conceptual creature. While losing his physical body, he had the ability to shuttle between the spirit world and the astral world and break through all seals and barriers.
Just in a few seconds, this most powerful "apprentice" had analyzed the power of the special mirror world and found a way to escape through this space.
As for what to do after getting out and how to compete with another "Bethel" for the body, those were things that could be considered slowly.
Just as these "door"-shaped illusory creatures were about to choose a direction to try to escape, the space around them suddenly cracked open one after another. The interior was illusory and deep, as if leading to an unknown world, and a faint light shone between the cracks, forming mirrors that reflected the "door"-shaped creatures.
Angel used his own authority and the symbol of the "mirror world" itself to create mirrors corresponding to all the high-speed flashing figures, locking each Bethel Abraham.
The next second, black curse flames appeared on all the "doors", and the bright starlight was swallowed by the darkness, becoming dim and extinguished one after another.
And the same power, with the help of the spread of "harvest", directly affected Bethel's body, which was constantly flashing at high speed and difficult to be directly locked by Angel, making his figure appear in a corner of the mirror world, and black flames continued to emerge from his unformed body, like a lit torch.
"Blood Emperor" Alistair Tudor can suppress the three paths of angel kings: thief, fortune teller, and apprentice. He relies on the "harvest" of the main body by damaging the clone or the secret puppet!
If it is in the real world or the spirit world, Bethel can also quickly teleport to a distant place, relying on space to exchange time and cut off this connection, but now he is trapped in a special mirror world and cannot escape. Naturally, he cannot avoid the full force of an angel king who has the power of two paths.
In the silent burning, the flashing figures like star gates melted and disappeared, leaving only the main body of Bethel, who also fell silent. His figure is still upright, and his blue eyes are stained with black. He no longer flashes and creates more clones to try to escape.
Angel did not use the advantage of the mirror world to continue to curse or attack, but reappeared among the colorless flames, put away the blood-stained banner and the white bone sword in his hand, looked at the burning "Mr. Door" calmly, and said:
"I have received a copy of the "Star Key" from them, so I have to help them deal with your "new" personality."
Bethel's old-fashioned expression, which was gradually devoured by the flames, changed, and he sighed:
"You will find that He is not easier to talk to than me."
Is he going to harm another self before he dies? Or is the relationship between the witch and the person in the mirror healthier... Angel sighed, shook his head and said:
"I am not looking for Him to be a slave. Reasonable exchange of interests and subsequent protection are enough to make Him cooperate."
As he said, Angel let the flame of destruction, which turned black again after putting away the "Salinger Blood Flag", spread to the entire mirror world and devoured the last figure of Mr. "The Door" in front of him.
...
In the secret base of the Abraham family, the hall filled with dark candlelight became bright again, and the gem powder crushed by the ritual was scattered all over the ground, emitting various colors of light. The illusory human figure above the altar contained the extraordinary characteristics of the key shape that was emitting starlight, and gradually became clearer.
His rippling body gradually transformed into a black robe in the style of the Quaternary, and his translucent face also showed the color of normal skin. His black hair and blue eyes lit up one by one. Mr. "Men", whom every member of the Abraham family had seen in the portraits handed down in the family, was about to return to reality.
However, this middle-aged man, who was as cold as the legendary vampire count, did not show any joy, but quietly looked at the position next to the only outsider who was not named Abraham, where the "Golden Queen" disappeared a minute ago.
It was not until the space had a slight change, the entire building was thrown back to reality from the mirror world, and the graceful and moving figure reappeared, that all the descendants of Abraham who dared not breathe a breath relaxed.
He came back, but the other Mr. "Men" did not, which naturally explained the result of the battle.
As soon as Angell stood still, she found that the person floating above the altar was Bethel Abraham, who had restored his body and contained the "Star Key" again. She carefully felt the other Sequence 1 characteristic that she had hidden in the mirror world, and found that it had no intention of "flashing" here due to the aggregation effect. Only then did she feel relieved and said with a smile:
"Congratulations on your successful "resurrection", Mr. Ancient "Gate".
"You don't need to hold the promotion ceremony again to directly contain this Sequence 1 characteristic?"
Bethel had slowly landed on the ground at this time, making a creaking sound when stepping on the gem fragments. Hearing this, he shook his head and said:
"The planet that I established contact with still exists. This is enough for me to not be affected by it when I contain the "Star Key" and travel through the starry sky to a place where I shouldn't appear.
"In other civilizations with more advanced technology, that kind of planet is called a "pulsar."
"Yes, it's a kind of neutron star." Angell nodded and added, showing her memory as a member of a "more advanced" civilization.
She guessed that establishing a mystical connection with this planet that periodically sends out signals and is called a beacon in the universe is the key to the ritual of a "planeswalker" to advance to Sequence 1.
Fortunately, Klein did not change his path to become a planeswalker because he could not find the "miracle master" feature for a while. Otherwise, even if he completed the ritual of Sequence 2, Sequence 1 would be extremely difficult. An angel who has mastered the "Source Castle" leaves the barrier and goes to the starry sky. It is simply a big gift package for the Outer Gods... She thought with some fear and continued:
"The Bethel Abraham who appeared because of the 'rebirth' has been dealt with by me. I hope it will not have too much impact on you."
Bethel, who had a more old-fashioned and serious face, shook his head and said:
"Compared to the influence He has had on me in the past thousand years, this little damage is insignificant."
His eyes, which were mixed with various emotions, swept over the Abrahams in the hall again, and finally looked back at Angel and said softly:
"Next, let's talk about the rewards for you and Mr. 'FoolIt doesn't matter who the Fool is
Chapter 1296: It doesn't matter who the Fool is
. Reward...
Angel smiled secretly in her heart. She wanted to take out the "Star Key" that she had already collected from the mirror world to show off, but she was worried that the extraordinary characteristics that were not very peaceful and could change their positions at any time through "teleportation" would be accommodated by Bethel Abraham again due to the aggregation effect, so she had to give up.
She pretended not to care about the reward, shook her head and said:
"The reward for helping the Abraham family has been paid in advance by your descendants." It
's not that she didn't want more, but because she really didn't help much in this ceremony. The "new" Bethel was pulled into the special mirror world before he was fully resurrected. At best, he was an angel with the status of an angel king, but without the corresponding characteristics to support him.
In the short battle, Angel could feel that most of the other party's thoughts were spent on how to break the seal and escape. The counterattack was extremely weak. He was no match for himself, the "king of kings".
With her personality, she couldn't lie about the results of the battle and ask for a reward.
At most, help Miss Magician consolidate the relationship with the Abraham family? Glancing at Fors, who was standing aside and not daring to speak, an idea popped up in Angel's mind, and he continued:
"In this matter, Fors's help to the Abraham family is also huge. If it weren't for her, Mr. Fool wouldn't have noticed your family's plight, and I wouldn't be here."
Fors, who was named, trembled like a frightened quail, and slowly raised her head. She didn't have the elegance that a mature saint should have, but was at a loss like when she first joined the Tarot Club.
Yes, facing two Sequence 1s as a Sequence 4, the pressure is almost the same as when she first joined the Tarot Club... Angel complained in his heart.
Bethel also turned his head to glance at Fors, then nodded and said,
"When I was communicating with the outside world as a 'newborn', I noticed her, an 'apprentice' who did not belong to the family but was eager to help my descendants.
"I'm sorry, although those crazy requests for help were made by me, I had no choice. I can't let the 'newborn' personality escape the seal and pose a threat to the world. "
The latter sentence was said by Bethel to Fors, who had obtained a magical item from a descendant of Abraham, which deepened her connection with this family. Because she was also a Beyonder on the path of Mr. "Gate", she received the same "treatment" as these descendants and almost fell into madness in the whispers of the full moon. However, she joined the Tarot Club and got the opportunity to quickly become a demigod.
If it weren't for these things, she would probably still be a wild Beyonder who was patiently looking for the formula of Sequence 8 or Sequence 7 potion and slowly reached the role-playing conditions through trial and error. She might also give up continuing to move forward on the Beyonder Path and use her writing talent to become a lazy novelist.
Therefore, after hearing Bethel's sincere apology, Fors hurriedly shook her head and said,
"These experiences have given me the opportunity to improve myself. You don't need to apologize for it. "
It is a very good spirit to regard every encounter, good or bad, as a test for yourself," Bethel commented with a smile, and then looked at Angel, "Because the 'Resurrection Ceremony' was not arranged by me in advance, but was helped by Amon, so after regaining my body, I need some time to consolidate my condition. Before that, the Abraham family will lack the protection of high-sequence Beyonders, and this lady will be a good supplement."
I didn't expect that Amon really wanted to resurrect Mr. "Door"... because of their "colleague" relationship in the Fourth Epoch? As for an archangel asking a Sequence 4 saint for help... Angel seemed to understand and took over the conversation:
"Do you hope that Fors will continue to maintain her relationship with Abraham?"
"Yes, I will provide her with the potion formula and Beyonder characteristics required for the 'Wanderer', and help her perform the corresponding ceremony. As for the Sequence 2 'Planeswalker', the ceremony may be a hassle. "
That is to say, using Sequence 3 potions as a reward for Miss Magician's matchmaking and her sincere efforts for the Abraham family... Angel understood what the other party meant.
As for the "Planeswalker", Angel already knew the corresponding formula from Dorian Abraham, and the materials were also ready, so it was not a big problem.
With the efforts of the "Magician" Fors, could she digest Sequence 3 before the end of the world and get the opportunity to be promoted to an angel, and the ceremony to go to the starry sky... She muttered to herself and asked casually:
"How did you complete the ritual required for the 'Planeswalker' at that time?"
Bethel said with an attitude of answering every question:
"Under the protection of a true God. "
According to the history of the third and fourth eras, it was probably either the "Ancient Sun God" or the "Real Creator"... No wonder Abraham joined the Solomon Empire supported by the Real Creator at that time, but why did he become the Angel King under the "Blood Emperor" later? Is this related to the establishment of that special mirror world? Angel pondered secretly, and at the same time realized that the current "Fool" camp did not have the ability to shelter believers in the starry sky for the time being. He shook his head regretfully and said,
"You should also know in the seal that the real world has been controlled by the four major countries and six gods. After this, what are your plans for you and your family?"
As if he had guessed Angel's thoughts, Bethel Abraham smiled again and replied,
"With the number of Sequence 1 characteristics I currently contain, with the help of the planets used for positioning during promotion and the astronomical and geographical knowledge of various galaxies in the starry sky, I don't need too many anchors to maintain my humanity... They will continue to believe in Mr. Fool.
"After I stabilize my own state, I will find the hiding Zaratul for The Fool and solve this not-so-small problem."
In other words, the entire Abraham family will actually be the power of The Fool… Angel was a little surprised, but not too surprised, because this was something she and Klein had expected.
As an ancient angel family of the Fourth Epoch, the Abrahams were once nobles of the "Black Emperor" Solomon, and then joined the "Blood Emperor" Tudor. They have almost always been hostile to the current six gods. Mr. "Gate" was even sealed by the Night and Storm in the Battle of the Four Emperors. If it weren't for the Full Moon's Whisper, this family would have fallen to the point where there was no demigod left, and almost disappeared in the long river of history. I'm afraid it would have been solved by the major churches.
But since Bethel Abraham has returned as a Sequence 1 Archangel, his family has become a big problem again. If he doesn't find a true god to protect him, he might be wiped out one day.
Compared to the six righteous gods who were once enemies, the rising "Fool" is undoubtedly a better choice, not to mention that this great being also helped in Bethel's resurrection ceremony.
As for Zaratul, it is nothing more than a gift from the archangel Bethel to surrender.
Thinking of this, Angel smiled and said,
"Mr. Fool should be satisfied."
At this moment, she realized that Mr. Bethel, the "Gate", did not include the promotion of his believer Fors to "Planeswalker" in the reward given to the Fool, because he was sure that the Fool did not have the ability to protect someone to travel safely to the starry sky at this time.
Looking at the other Abrahams around him and Fors, who looked a little shocked, Angel's smile disappeared, and he frowned and asked,
"Can you sense the status of the extraordinary people in the adjacent paths?"
She was asking "Zaratul" on the surface, but in fact she was hinting at "The Fool".
At this moment, Angel suddenly felt that the space around her and Bethel was as if isolated by some force, separated from the descendants of Abraham, Fors and others in the outer periphery, and became an independent space.
These extraordinary people did not notice anything, but just watched the communication between the two angels quietly.
It is a high-level application of the "Secret Keeping" ability... Angel just realized that the following conversation was not suitable for others to know, and heard Bethel answer:
"Yes, I can sense that Mr. 'Fool' is not a true god yet, and 'Error' Amon is accommodating the last 'Star Key' and the uniqueness of the 'Gate' path, and will soon become a true god of the two paths.
"Then, it will be the moment when the real 'Fool' is born."
So you only say to believe in the Fool, and it doesn't matter who the Fool is... Whether Klein or Amon wins, they will not need the "Star Key" in his body, and his family can survive... Angel tasted this and had a new understanding of the "political means" of this ancient angel king of the Fourth Epoch.
In this case, he did not bet on both sides, but stood on Klein's side, which was already biased... After complaining in his heart, Angel took the opportunity when the "Secret Keeping" effect was still there to continue asking:
"What are your opinions and suggestions on the upcoming 'Doomsday'? "
Bethel raised his eyebrows curiously, as if to say "You actually asked me this old antique that has been sealed for more than a thousand years", but under Angel's indifferent gaze, he finally put away his playful smile and answered seriously:
"When Amon brought me back to reality through a ceremony, I noticed the movement outside the barrier. The Outer Gods were working together to attack the barrier to cover the multi-party transactions inside.
"Although I do not yet have the status of a true god, I am already infinitely close. It's just that I was worried about the revival of the 'Tianzun', so I sealed a 'Star Key' in my body and did not directly aggregate all the characteristics and uniqueness.
"Therefore, the movements of the Outer Gods are all under my control. The 'Uncertain Mist' has been severely damaged and fled this star field. It will not be able to return again within 60 years. As a result, other Outer Gods will not be able to cooperate sincerely. "
I already knew this from Klein... But the true gods can automatically aggregate without a ceremony? No wonder, apart from Bethel who has the power of "sealing", there has been no angel king in history who can simultaneously contain three copies of Sequence 1 characteristics and the corresponding uniqueness, because they will automatically become true gods, and not holding a ceremony will only lead to madness? Angel's already rich knowledge of mysticism added icing on the cake, and he smiled with satisfaction and said,
"This is the credit of the 'True Creator'."
Bethel shook his head and said with emotion,
"I feel that you also played a role, because after Amon stole the ritual of the 'reborn' me to remove the seal of the extraordinary characteristics and automatically aggregate into a god, the first thing he did was to tell the 'Fool' the coordinates of the special mirror world."
Klein and the goddess were able to arrive in time, and it was actually Amon's credit... Angel was a little stunned.
Bethel continued,
"If that were the case, when the doomsday comes, our planet will face one less threat.
"Unfortunately, another powerful Outer God that I know of may have already arrived in this star region and joined the ranks of the 'Old Ones' outside the barrier
