Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

A place abandoned by God.

Klein passed through the gray-white cast barrier silently and entered the interior of Chernobyl.

Walking inside the building covered with black marks, Klein felt a little strange about the remaining things and the overall layout of the building, because compared with the nuclear power plant in his previous life, this place was more like a research institute.

Without having to look for it specifically, he soon found a room with collapsed machines and a few yellowish papers on the table.

With the help of the "translator" taken out from the historical gap, Klein understood the above content and also understood what happened here -

Maozi built a research institute here in order to conduct research on the re-production of oil from dry oil fields.

As expected, the accident happened quickly.

Most people in the institute were turned into "oil" by unknown pollution, and the survivors could also hear the "screams" coming from underground.

Klein fell into deep thought after reading these simple and straightforward texts. The pollution that came from underground was also the pollution that came from the "root".

Most people in the institute were polluted and turned into "oil", but the "Ancient Sun God" survived. He withstood the pollution, or rather, the pollution chose him as a carrier.

That is why he was able to survive and appear in the Second Age as the 'Ancient Sun God', a dual-path true god.

But this also caused him to suffer far more serious pollution than other true gods, and ultimately led to the fall of the ancient sun god.

Does this mean that the source of underground pollution is in this research institute?
Klein left the room and continued to move deeper into the research institute.

After walking for dozens of seconds, the scene in front of him suddenly became much darker and a cliff appeared in front of him.

That part of the research institute collapsed into the ground, and it was dark, deep and empty, with no end in sight.

Faintly, Klein seemed to hear a silent cry, coming from deep underground, echoing directly in his mind.

At this moment, a hand that was so shriveled that only skin and bones remained reached out from the dark and grabbed the edge of the "cliff".

Then, a figure jumped out and landed in front of Klein.

He wore a pointed hat, a classical black robe, and a monocle in his right eye socket. He was none other than the Angel of Time, Amon.

But this Amon's condition was not very normal, like a skeleton covered with skin.

Klein's eyes were alert, and he quickly invaded the opponent's spiritual line.

At the same time, Amon in front of him quickly filled up with flesh and blood.

He pushed his monocle and said with a smile:

“There’s a visitor.

"you are?"

Amon raised his hand and adjusted the crystal monocle on his right eye. This action froze for several seconds before it ended. Amon whispered as if he was thinking:
"There's no other me nearby... Is that true, or have we completely lost contact?"

Did something unexpected happen that caused this Amon to become independent? No, maybe it was a fraud... Klein's mind was moved at first, but he immediately suppressed the corresponding thought and asked:
"You are exploring the secrets of the underground."

Amon nodded lightly and said:
"Isn't it obvious?"

He then half-turned his body and pointed at the darkness in front of the ‘cliff’ that could not be illuminated by the light and said:
"My father crawled out of here just like I did.

"Ah yes, it has a name, you may have heard of it, 'Chaos Sea'."

'Chaos Sea'? 'Chaos Sea', one of the nine essences... Klein asked calmly:
"So you took the risk and jumped in, looking for buried history and the truth of the world?"

"That's about it."

Amon pinched the upper and lower edges of the monocle, and said with a slightly self-deprecating tone, "But I didn't do it voluntarily."

"Everyone knows that it is very dangerous deep underground, and no one wants to go down by themselves. We tried many roundabout ways, including creating a secret doll to replace ourselves, but none of them worked, and we couldn't get any feedback.

"Finally, under the chairmanship of the main body, we conducted a fair vote, and unfortunately, I was chosen."

Klein asked:
"And then you jumped down by yourself?"

“We can’t just wait to be thrown down by them.” Amon spread his hands and said.

Having said this, He seemed to finally understand something and whispered to himself:
"The 'Sea of ​​Chaos' has severed my connection with my original body and the clones around me? Am I independent?"

Amon suddenly paused, and said with a somewhat helpless expression:

"You and my main body should have quite a conflict, but do you have to be so vigilant about my clone?"

"Have."

Klein, who had already controlled Amon's spirit line, nodded solemnly, but soon smiled and said:

"Besides, you should actually thank me."

"Thank u?"

Amon's expression became strange. You want to turn me into a secret doll, and I have to thank you? Who is the god of mischief between us?

"Yes, you should thank me."

Klein's lips curled up slightly. He stretched out his hand and gently grabbed in the air. In his palm, he held a glowing ember of fire. He said playfully:
"Thank me for giving you true independence."

Klein threw the embers at Amon and at the same time controlled the half-puppetized Amon to grab the embers.

Then, crush it hard.

"and many more!"

Amon's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly wanted to speak out to stop it, but his body was controlled and he was powerless to resist.

Snapped!
The remaining fire was easily crushed, turning into ashes that wrapped around Amon.

Until He was completely immersed in Amon's body, until Amon's body surface was covered with a layer of mottled and shining sparks. This made Him look like charcoal that had not yet been completely burned out, continuing to burn itself in the residual heat.

Klein watched all this and laughed happily.

Perhaps, as the other party said, he did disconnect from the main body because of the 'Chaos Sea', but it is unlikely.

After all, Amon has been in the God-forsaken Land for at least 1,300 years. His exploration of Chernobyl did not start recently, but has been ongoing for the past 1,300 years.

Even if we make the most conservative guess, this clone was at least released by Amon hundreds of years ago.

Even if this clone really lost contact with Amon, it is impossible for Amon to be unaware of it. And since Amon was aware of it, he would definitely destroy the "independent" clone as soon as possible, and send other clones to explore the Chaos Sea more cautiously!

So the answer is obvious. Everything the clone just said is just a fraud. Because for Amon, the greatest significance of this clone is to confirm whether Klein has entered Chernobyl!
As long as Klein entered Chernobyl, no matter what the fate of this clone was, it would not be harmful to Amon - if the clone was destroyed, it could at least confirm that Klein had indeed entered Chernobyl.

And if the clone was not destroyed, and Klein was successfully deceived by it and believed that "He" was independent of the original body, then Amon might use this clone to carefully prepare a trap for Klein.

But Klein chose neither. He chose to overturn the table - since you said you are independent, then I will give you true independence!
Klein silently released his control over Amon's spirit thread and chuckled, "We can have a good chat now."

Amon fell into a brief silence. He raised his hand and looked at the burning sparks in his palm, and sighed softly:
"He never told me this was going to happen."

Klein asked calmly:

"Him? You mean Adam?"

Adam is the divine incarnation of the ancient sun god. He also comes from the "Old City" and is obviously no stranger to the dark soul.

But He didn't seem to tell Amon everything. Of course, it was also possible that Adam himself didn't know.

After all, the one who cooperated with Adam would not tell Him everything.

Amon asked in surprise:
"Why do you think it was Adam?"

Amon didn't expect Klein to answer, and said to himself:

"Of course I'm talking about my father. He once mentioned Embers. They dealt with each other in the Second Age."

"But I don't know much about Him."

"That's why I stayed in the God-forsaken Land to search for the buried history and the truth of the world."

Klein's eyes flickered. Didn't Amon know that Adam was the ancient sun god?
That's right! The alliance between Adam and Amon made him think that Amon already knew the truth! But the fact is, Adam would never tell anyone about this!
Adam, who had experienced betrayal once, would be extremely cautious and would certainly conceal the fact that he was the 'Ancient Sun God'. He would not tell this secret to anyone except his other self, not even if Amon was his son!
After all, Adam is also the son of the ancient sun god. Wasn't he possessed by the ancient sun god as well?
Medici, as the most loyal subordinate of the true Creator, was also killed by Adam, which made Medici hate Adam to the core, but the reason was simply that Adam did not want to arouse suspicion.

How could He, who is like this, expose this matter to others?
The world today is not friendly to the 'Ancient Sun God' at all. Although the seven gods are hostile to each other and check and balance each other, their attitudes towards the real creator are surprisingly consistent.

Even the true creator was sealed in the God-forsaken Land. If Adam dared to reveal his divine side as the ancient sun god, he would definitely be attacked by the seven gods. Even if he could escape by chance with his extraordinary ability, he would not be able to be promoted to Sequence 0!
Because the Seven Gods will definitely try their best to prevent this from happening.

"and many more!"

Klein's expression slightly changed. He suddenly remembered something - if he could think of it, there was no reason why Yu Jin couldn't think of it. If that was the case, why didn't Yu Jin directly tell the Goddess of Night, or even other righteous gods about it?
Klein didn't think that Yu Jin didn't do this for a superficial reason like "I don't want to use someone else's hands." After all, judging from Yu Jin's style of doing things, as long as it makes things easier to handle, he doesn't mind shifting the blame to someone else.

Is it possible that Ember actually agreed to Adam becoming Sequence 0?
And if we continue to think along this line, what benefits will it bring to Ember if Adam is assumed to be Sequence 0?

It seems that there is no such thing on the surface, but this is of great benefit to the real creator.

Because once Adam becomes a god, he will first merge with the true Creator.

When He becomes a true God of the dual paths, He can use the power of the Chaos Sea to easily take back the authority that was once stolen.

So, Yu Jin is planning to train an ultimate BOSS himself and then hunt it down with his own hands?

No, that won't be the case.

The purpose of the Embers is clear, hunting down powerful enemies is just challenging, but it has no real benefit to the Embers today.

Therefore, the biggest possibility is that it is the same as what Ember did to Sefirah Castle -

Yu Jin hopes that Adam will become a true god and merge with the True Creator. Then he will replicate his actions on Sefirah Castle, starting with the fusion of Adam and the True Creator, and gradually erode the Chaos Sea, turning it into his shape!

Klein's mind moved slightly, and he immediately sorted out his thoughts, but soon he had a new question:

"It is in the interest of Ember to make Adam a god, but Ember certainly does not want Adam to take the dominant position after the fusion."

"The fusion of Adam and the true Creator is essentially the reintegration of the two separated parts of Him into one."

"One side is dominated by divinity, and the other side is dominated by humanity."

“If Adam’s divinity is dominant, then perhaps only a tiny trace of the true Creator’s humanity will remain.”

"This state can be called Dingdang."

“And the embers must lean towards the latter, that is, the true creator is the dominant one, and only a tiny trace of Adam’s divinity needs to remain.”

"So, after the fusion, the 'Real Creator × Adam' with the Real Creator as the main body can also be called Ding Zhen."

"The True Creator has the support of the embers, so in theory he has the upper hand."

"But Adam also has the support of another 'First Flame'. In this respect, both sides are actually equal."

"Then how can Yu Jin ensure that what appears after fusion is 'Ding Zhen' instead of 'Ding Dang'?"

Klein raised his head silently and cast his gaze towards Amon.

Perhaps, similar to what he did to Amon.

At this moment, Klein's expression suddenly changed, because he heard an illusory prayer in the dark - the voice was so familiar, Klein, who was already an angel, could easily "see" the appearance of the person praying, it was clearly his poet classmate!
And since the poet is praying to him now, does it mean that Amon's true form has been obtained?
Klein's expression changed. He glanced at Amon's clone and chuckled.

"Your true form has been captured and may return soon. I advise you to leave as soon as possible."

As he continued speaking, Klein's figure quickly disappeared, leaving only Amon.

And 'Amon' also changed color slightly, his expression uncertain.

But in the end, He succumbed to reality and disappeared on the spot.

When he, as an incarnation, truly gained "independence", he already knew his own fate - because the only way for the original body to deal with him was to destroy him on the spot.
-
In Backlund, in the Hall family's luxurious villa, Audrey stared blankly at the red moon that appeared in the sky and murmured in a low voice:

"Red Moon, why does it appear during the day? Is it a goddess?"

The goddess's honorific name is the Crimson Lord, and the Crimson Moon is a symbol of her power.

The "dusk" that appeared at noon corresponded to the god of war in Feysac.

And does the red moon hanging high in the sky now represent the goddess of night?
Audrey instinctively felt something was a little weird. The goddess's name did include the Crimson Lord, and the Church of Evernight would also hold a high mass during the full moon, but the Church of Evernight had never encouraged its followers to believe in the moon!

In the mysterious world, there is also the evil god 'Original Moon' who steals the power of the moon.

If it was really the goddess who took action, shouldn't the strange phenomenon that appeared now be "dark night"?

But if that red moon wasn't the goddess' handle, then whose was it?

Just as she was thinking, Audrey's eyes suddenly blurred and she couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

The scene before her made her open her mouth wide - because a second moon appeared in the sky.

A bright, cold, deep and blue illusory full moon!

She just hung there beside the red moon, releasing her light to her heart's content.

All the witnesses were stunned. This was a moon they had never seen before.

Neither normal textbooks of human society nor books related to mysticism have ever recorded such phenomena!
Apart from the common crescent moon, full moon, and the occasional 'blood moon', the moon has never undergone such changes, at least not in the past 1,300 years since the Fifth Epoch!
At this moment, the witnesses realized that in addition to crimson and blood red, the moon had other colors - but the question was, why were there two moons?
