Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 410: The Demon of Knowledge’s Thoughts

731
In a city in Ahowa County, Loen.

An empty room, filled with the smell of dust that had not been lived in for a long time. But strangely, the full-length mirror placed in the corner was intact and not covered with a black cloth.

At this moment, the mirror flickered strangely, and a young man with a gloomy and shadowy appearance appeared.

"George Augustus III's speech is over."

"It ends abruptly, Sharon. Did you hear his voice? Why can the king speak in our heads?"

The figure of a blonde girl in a complicated black dress appeared in the window on the side of the full-length mirror. Sharon was silent for a moment and shook her head slowly.

Then she said, "It seems that something happened."

Sharon thought for a few seconds and was about to say something to Maric when suddenly her vision went dark.

Her veil covered her eyes, and her clothes bound her tightly to the chair. A wicked voice sounded in her ears:

"Guess who I am?"

Maric in the mirror scratched his hair and stood up from the chair:

“If something happens to the King of Loen, we should flee again. Where should we flee to this time, Feysac or Intis?”

He began to collect the items on the table in front of him and stuffed the cards and chips into his pockets. "Oh, it seems that we can't run to Feysac. The members of the Temperance Faction in Feysac have lost contact. A demigod of the Indulgence Faction is trying to intercept and capture them. They may all be dead."

"The members of the Temperance Faction there invited us to hunt the demigod, but when their message was passed to us, Sharon, you had not yet contacted Her Highness Renette. We rejected the invitation, and it seems that they did not go hunting, and they were caught..."

"Loen will soon be under martial law. If we want to leave, we have to do it now. We need to hide ourselves in a more chaotic place. Other options in the northern continent include the plateau, Yuanlunburg, Ma Xi and other small countries. Sharon, we——"

Maric talked to himself for a while. He had long been accustomed to Sharon's reading but not replying. But when he looked up to ask Sharon, he suddenly found that there was no one on the broken window glass, only the tattered curtains swaying slightly in the breeze.

Hey!
There was dead silence all around him, his pupils dilated, and the chips in his hand rolled to the ground and were picked up by his other hand.

"You really have become a vengeful spirit. Is this Steve's characteristic?" Richard looked at the red and white chips in his hand. He held two expressionless dolls in his arms. Both dolls were wearing exquisite black court dresses and had golden hair. One of the dolls had two heads in its hands. The four heads and eight pairs of red eyes were all looking at Sharon beside him. This eye-catching feature immediately changed Maric's expression. In the extreme oppression and fear, he temporarily lost the ability to speak and think.

Caught! Caught by the leader of the Indulgence faction!
Maric's chest rose and fell uncontrollably. He had finally escaped from the Rose School, but now he was caught again. He could almost see the miserable future for himself, Sharon and the others.

"If you don't kill him, I will teach them a good lesson."

Richard threw the chip back, and it bent in the air and went into Maric's trouser pocket.

"Come on, come back with me. We have a chance to play cards in the Northern Continent. It's better to go back and cultivate two acres of land."

He stretched out his hand, and that hand quickly enlarged in Maric's eyes, while his body quickly shrank and became weak, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a Maric rag doll of the same style as Sharon and Reinette.

Richard tucked the three dolls under his arms, returned to the spirit world, and headed straight for the southern continent.

The already quiet house was now completely silent, and the hooks of the old curtains were broken. At this moment, a gust of wind blew in from the broken glass window, covering the mirror that had been inhabited by the resentful spirit.

……

"Is there any problem with this?" The Demon of Knowledge showed a thoughtful expression, "Or do you have any other choice?"

"Your ideas are a bit too advanced. I dare say they are beyond at least 80% of the gods."

Edward sighed: "Didn't you see the miserable state of the Son of Chaos?"

“I see. It’s not shameful to be discovered by the Omniscient.” The Demon of Knowledge nodded, looked in the direction of Loen in the distance, and squinted his eyes. “His current state is quite interesting. He is the incarnation of order, and he will not really die. Moreover, he can now influence all the subjects and low-sequence Beyonders in the country and destroy the balance of the Omniscient’s body... His identity as a human limits his recovery. If he wants to restore his god-level power, he must be successfully resurrected from the mausoleum..."

The Demon of Knowledge narrowed his eyes, and countless pieces of information and data quickly flashed across his purple nebula-like eyes. He came up with the answer without pausing:

"...The Omniscient One left the mausoleum where the king was, and forced the Son of Chaos to resurrect in that mausoleum for the sake of his Beyonder characteristics and uniqueness, and then captured him. It is very easy to escape, as long as someone destroys the mausoleum and kills him again."

"He will return from the astral plane, resurrected intact."

"Actually, that's not what I meant. I meant... He has changed his name to the God of Lights, and was stuffed into the God of Wishing Lamp by Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, just like the God of Lights in the 'Aladdin's Lamp' in Arabian Nights. He is an arbitrator, judge, and emperor who makes a living by fulfilling other people's wishes. Your mysterious magic is related to ancient myths and legends. Are you sure you won't be influenced by Tianzun and turn it into a weird story?"

"A strange story?" The Demon of Knowledge smiled and said, "I like this new term."

Edward listened to the words of the Demon of Knowledge and suddenly raised his eyebrows:

"Want to chat here?"

"Indeed, we should change the place." The Demon of Knowledge nodded.

As they were talking, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. A breeze with a hidden call blew from the wilderness, and in the wind, vegetation quickly grew on the streets of the town. Ivy and moss quickly eroded and devoured the buildings and all man-made objects, hiding the traces of civilization in the gray-green world.

With the location of the Demon of Knowledge as the center, the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge" penetrates reality in a small area, making the area where He stands independent.

It was as if a thousand years had passed in an instant, the world was deserted, cities turned into wilderness, flowers and grass fluttered in the wind. Knowledge and past civilizations were hidden under the vitality, waiting for future generations to discover, and only a vast scene remained in the wilderness.

He used the power of the Source to fight against the Source, and against the "omniscience" of the One who sank into the Sea of ​​Chaos.

Edward waited until everything around him was built before speaking again:

"You want to take action against 'All-Knowing'?"

The Demon of Knowledge did not deny it. The old and thin scholar's face showed a thoughtful look, as if he was weighing the pros and cons:
"The omniscient and omnipotent will take action against me sooner or later, and I will strike first."

"The feeling of being torn apart and devoured is really terrible. I don't want to experience it again, so I will eat the God of Truth first and destroy Him. You are right. I am indeed thinking about whether I should help the Son of Chaos die again, so that He can return from the astral plane and help me kill the Omniscient One."

"God is in the Chaos Sea. If you seize omniscience, then... oh?"

Edward understood all of a sudden, and looked at the Demon of Knowledge with a bit more awe:

"Is this why you plan to support Klein Moretti? You plan to let him slow down God's pace, and then you will take this opportunity to devour other gods as much as possible, improve yourself, and cause trouble for God? I thought you planned to be a good teacher."

The Demon of Knowledge shook his head slowly but firmly.

“Communicating with humans makes me happy.”

"But aggregation and strengthening are the first requirements of our lives..."

Humans have a hierarchy of physiological needs, and so do gods. For the gods of the starry sky, just as humans must eat before doing anything, gathering and fighting are the first needs, and instincts also have a priority order.

Fighting for God's "omniscience" will not make the Demon of Knowledge a pillar-level Old One, nor will it make God fall into the position of an ordinary Old One because of the lack of this puzzle, but it will make God bear a grudge, and he may even lose his life in the future. But as long as there is a chance, He will still do this, and almost all the gods of the starry sky will do this. This is the way to survive.

From the perspective of human interests, this is a meaningless action because humans cannot understand "gathering and becoming stronger" as eating.

It seems that human gods cannot do this either.

Granting knowledge is an instinct and power, but eating is more important than working. The demon of knowledge looked into the distance. Everything in the wilderness was made up of pure knowledge. The blooming and withering of a flower were all in the predetermined time and process. The petals were written with the variety, flowering period, growth time and life span. The same was true for all living things and believers in his eyes. They were broken down into information in great detail, without any difference.

Witnessing all this, the Demon of Knowledge suddenly thought of something and said:

"You seem to have some cooperation with the Omniscient and Omnipotent One. His teachings also mention your kingdom of God. Do you have the same interests?"

"Cooperation? Logically speaking, it's over."

Their cooperation officially ended from the moment the True Creator disappeared. He also refused to become God's subordinate and did not allow the True Creator to further consolidate the connection between them through the Holy Scriptures. There was no longer any covenant to bind Edward Vaughan.

In Edward's cognition and principles, whoever negotiates terms with him face to face will be the one to cooperate, and it cannot be inherited or transferred.

The Demon of Knowledge was not surprised by this answer. Then, Edward shook his head and said seriously:
"If it's about interests... I have no ill will towards God, but you may not have interests that can move me, so I won't help you. If you just want to tear 'omniscience' off the God of Thunder, it's enough to cooperate with the Son of Chaos."

"The prerequisite for cooperating with Him is that He can keep His promise. However, He also has a grudge against the God of Thunder, so He should not change His mind at the last minute."

"By the way, are you planning to kill the God of Thunder, or just beat him to pieces and take away his omniscience?"

“What’s the difference between the two?”

The Demon of Knowledge was still a little curious, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, you are right, the situation on Earth is relatively stable. God has no other competitors in the path that belongs to Him. I can't use the Tyrant. He can survive even if he loses a path - no, maybe he still can't survive. The Son of Chaos may test the degree of compatibility between himself and the 'Tyrant'. After all, the Black Emperor is also a tyrant, isn't he?"

In just a few words, the Demon of Knowledge had divided up all of Leodero's characteristics, and seemed to be waiting for the right time to contact the Son of Chaos.

The possibility of this plan is quite high. As an incarnation of the source who puts self-improvement and becoming stronger first, Edward did not express any denial of the Demon of Knowledge's idea. He just asked another question:
"So what do you do with your newly reorganized church?"

The Demon of Knowledge had only returned for about a month, and the "Moss Ascetic Order" had just completed its initial integration with the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and all industries had not yet developed - most importantly, his church was right next to the Creator Church! Although the Demon of Knowledge had no good feelings towards God, he also settled in Intis by mistake. According to the agreement, he had to protect the believers of the God of Steam and Machinery.

He thought for a moment and looked up at the sky in the distance:
“I don’t need so many believers, but there will definitely be students who are worth teaching among the believers.”

"I also don't want to live with the followers and followers of the Omniscient and Omnipotent. The Angel of War has prevented me from communicating with Klein Moretti several times. If I can snatch Loen from the Son of Chaos, I can leave Intis. Or, I can break up the church and let them go to other countries incognito, spread my name, and spread the knowledge and technology I have bestowed, just like they don't believe in the God of Steam but use his inventions."

"Good, I'm glad to see that you don't have unreasonable kindness towards humans."

Edward breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"If you suddenly say something like you want to protect and love humans, or you want to do your best to help them, I'll be scared. After all, you've been living with the humans of the Western Continent for a long time."

"The human race is very large and has many talents. As an intelligent race, it is quite good and can become one of my followers."

The Demon of Knowledge didn't quite understand, but still expressed his affirmation.

"By the way, do you have any information about Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun?"

"What do you want to know?" Edward asked. "If it's about the competitors of the Lord of Mysteries, apart from Klein Moretti who you have noticed so far, you should have already known the others. They are Antigonus, Amon, Zaratul, Pales Zoroast, and Bethel Abraham who is still flying in the sky."

"I remember one thing. At the end of the fourth season, Bethel Abraham was exiled by Storm and Night. In other words, if I kill the Omniscient, the door controlled by the Fallen Mother Goddess will return..."

If you want to remove pollution, you must completely kill the polluted.

The Fallen Mother Goddess was a pillar-level Old One. Even the powerful Old Ones would find such pollution difficult to deal with, and it would backfire on them if they were not careful. Bethel Abraham was already sentenced to death from the moment he was polluted.

The foreign gods each have their own purposes, positions and behaviors, but the fewer gods that come to participate, the better. Besides, this small earth can't hold another pillar. If the Fallen Mother Goddess descends, the Omniscient and the Blessing Xuanhuang Tianzun will also wake up immediately. Maybe they will directly merge and awaken the Beginning in the melee, allowing the universe to restart again... The Demon of Knowledge does not want to die so early. He pondered and looked far away. His sight fell on the Honachis Mountains wrapped in the veil of mystery, and whispered:

"Are you helping the goddess of the night to suppress Antigonus?"

"Yes." Edward admitted readily, "I think that compared to Tianzun, an environment with only God is more suitable for survival. Do you really intend to help Tianzun to contain God? Look at the past Third Era. Amon is currently the one who is most similar to the Lord of Mysteries in terms of personality. Do you think you can win Amon's favor, or do you think you can make Klein like you enough?"

"You have a point."

"Then would you mind telling me where Klein Moretti is now?"

The Demon of Knowledge glanced at Him and suddenly asked:

“So what kind of person is Bethel Abraham?”

Along with Amon, Zaratul, and Antigonus who was eroded by the spiritual imprint of the Celestial Lord, Mr. Heaven's Gate, although he has been deeply polluted for thousands of years, may be the easiest one to deal with at the moment.

Moreover, He also wanted to take action on the extraordinary characteristics of the Omniscient One.

As long as you want to do it, there are always more solutions than problems.

Memory is also information. For the Demon of Knowledge, it is not difficult to kill Bethel Abraham, remove the pollution of extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness, and then reshape an identical Bethel Abraham based on the memory information. It only takes a few clicks.

If he could survive, Bethel Abraham would not have sought death on his own initiative.

Although selling favors may not be effective, memory and favorability can be adjusted according to the needs of the Knowledge Demon. There is no need to have a very good relationship, as that would be too fake. As long as Mr. "Door" has more favor and respect for you, things will be much easier in the future.

"You are so determined to go against God." Edward was a little surprised. "I didn't descend into the early period of the Fourth Epoch, so I'm not familiar with Him. However, you should have a ritual that can contact Him. Roselle Gustav used it."

"I will not recognize God from my standpoint. Sooner or later, He will 'desire to supplement His omniscience and omnipotence' and take action against me. In this case, my only choice is to escape or support the Heavenly Lord." The Demon of Knowledge obviously did not intend to escape. "Although you are not going to cooperate, what are you going to do next?"

"me……"

Edward fell into thought.

"To be honest, I've been in prison for a long time and was bound by a contract. Now I'm suddenly free, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

He casually told a joke from the Old Era, and the Demon of Knowledge understood it:
"I decided to do whatever I wanted, such as going to Backlund's grave to laugh at the Son of Chaos, letting the followers sell arms, promote war, burn, kill and loot, leading the southern continent to colonize the northern continent, or looking for trouble with the gods of Earth when I have nothing to do. Most importantly, I went to visit Klein and then killed him. The Son of Chaos had such a hard time escaping from trouble that I didn't want to bet on the candidate's temper at all. I suggest you talk to the Son of Chaos more, maybe you will understand God after talking."

"No, I don't want to understand God at all."

The Demon of Knowledge said, "But I will go talk to the Child of Chaos. See you later."
