Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 429: Looking Directly at God
When Klein came out of the palace, the stalemate he had expected did not occur. Instead, he saw Roselle and the Mother Goddess of Earth besieging the God of Steam and Machinery, while the Goddess of Night and Knowledge and Wisdom were besieging and killing the Primordial Witch. Only the Lord of Storms was still struggling one-on-one with the Undead Serpent Lakkad.

Seeing this scene, Klein's expression immediately became subtle:

"Where's Adam?"

It was originally four to four, or at worst five to four. Although Adam's side would be at a disadvantage, they would not be defeated miserably. Even with Klein's participation, it would be easy for them to leave the battlefield, but it would not be so easy to surround and kill any of them.

As a result, Adam is now missing, causing the originally evenly matched situation to become a righteous five-on-three situation.

Klein didn't believe that Adam had fallen. With Adam's strength and scheming, even if the original witch and other beings all fell, Adam would still be alive and well. Therefore, the reason why Adam disappeared could only be that he took the initiative to leave.

This is not surprising, Amon has failed and The Fool has been born.

Adam's side was doomed to fail, and it would be futile to continue fighting, so retreating in time was undoubtedly the right choice. But the question was, why did Adam run away alone? Didn't he care about the Lord of Steam and the Primordial Witch? Your teammates are still here!
Klein had never expected that Adam would sell out his teammates, and he did it so easily!
You know, it wasn't long from the time he was promoted to The Fool to the time he left the palace. Could Adam not even wait for a moment?
You're running so fast, what will the original witches think? Adam didn't have many allies to begin with, and now he's running like this, is he going to make an enemy of the whole world, and he's taking the initiative.

It's obvious that if the original witches can get away today, Adam will suffer the consequences.

It is impossible for Adam not to understand this, but he still abandoned the Original Witch and other beings and fled alone. What was he trying to do?
Klein frowned slightly. Among all the gods, Adam was the one who gave him the most pressure.

As a 'visionary', there is almost no way that Sequence 0 can compete with Adam in calculations. And how could such a calculating being do such a stupid thing?
Unless, He has bigger plans!

Abandoning the Original Witch and the Lord of Steam would allow Adam to gain greater benefits than saving them!
This thought flashed through Klein's mind, but he did not delve into Adam's purpose. After all, that was a matter for the future, and he had more important things to do now.

For example--

Klein cast his gaze towards the battlefield in the sky. The body of the Primordial Witch had undergone a mutation, and Medici was fighting for power with her. Coupled with the siege of the Goddess of Night and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, she would not be able to hold out for long.

The Lord of Steam has never been able to break away from the rules set by Roselle. Even if he can still hold on now, it is just a fight of trapped beasts. In comparison, the battlefield where the Lord of Storm is located needs more support, which means...

Klein retracted his gaze and set his sights on the God of Steam and Machinery.

The Lord of Storms did need more support, and Klein was grateful that He came to support him on His own initiative. But compared to helping the Lord of Storms and letting the battle continue to stalemate, Klein felt that killing the Lord of Steam first and breaking the situation was a better option!

Therefore, we can only inconvenience the Lord of Storms for now.

Anyway, He won’t be beaten to death for a while.
-
Outside the world, in a furnace filled with nothingness all around.

Wearing a Fire Transmission Suit and holding a Fire Transmission Greatsword, Yu Jin raised the greatsword with one hand and pointed the tip of the sword at the Cinder King incarnation who was also wearing a Fire Transmission Suit and holding a Fire Transmission Greatsword but was much taller than him, and said calmly:

"You lost again."

"Adam abandoned you."

The incarnation of the Lord of Fire paused for a moment, but soon attacked Cinders again in silence!
The battle between them is very pure, there is no clash of authority, no confrontation of extraordinary abilities, and no spiritual pollution. Because here, they are all beings called "First Fire", their essences are exactly the same, their abilities are exactly the same, no one can pollute anyone, and no one can easily defeat anyone!

Here, only a real fight can determine the winner!
Whether it was Adam's betrayal, the slaughter of the Original Witch and other beings, or vice versa, Klein failed to become the Fool, Amon became the Mystery, and the Goddess of Night and others were forced to evacuate, the results would not affect their battle here.

Because no matter which side's strength is weakened, it will weaken both of them at the same time. And no matter which side's strength is strengthened, it will strengthen both sides at the same time!

So the only thing they have to do now is to kill each other at all costs!
Only the living one can inherit the complete first fire!
As long as a winner is decided among them, all changes in the outside world will be irrelevant.

Because the winner is destined to have the ability to rewrite all reality and even change the past.

Everything that is a foregone conclusion in the eyes of the world is, under the distortion of the First Fire, just a tentative future that can be erased and changed at any time.

The incarnation of King Xin doesn't care about Adam's rebellion, nor does he care about the life or death of the original witch. He just wants to kill Ember, or be beaten to death by Ember! ——
Intis Empire, Trier, White Maple Palace.

On the sun-soaked terrace, Audrey, wearing a refreshing holiday straw hat, sat on a lounge chair, leisurely flipping through a fashion magazine. On the small round table next to her, there were portions of exquisite pastries and a cup of premium black tea, a specialty of the Intis Empire.

For angels, food is no longer necessary.

But these little things in life can be used to maintain one's humanity.

This seemingly insignificant detail is necessary for angels of any path. This is especially true for high-sequence beings of the Audience path, who must always pay attention to their mental state.

For other channels, the increase in divinity and the deepening of pollution are quite obvious.

The audience is not like that. They have to constantly examine themselves and trace back to the source of any small changes in their personality and cognition to make sure there is no problem and it is a normal change. For example, if a person suddenly likes to eat a certain kind of cake, is it because they like it themselves, or is it also the result of being influenced by other beings?
For High-Sequence Beyonders of the Audience Path, every detail must be taken seriously, otherwise they will unknowingly become another person, and can coldly kill those they want to protect the most.

This spiritual "plague" is almost impossible to prevent, and it requires sufficient humanity to fight against it.

This results in the fact that although the Beyonders of the Audience Path are the least likely to go crazy, they are also the most likely to go crazy.

But fortunately, they are not traditional "clairvoyants" and do not need to worry too much about this impact.

Audrey picked up a piece of cream cake, took a bite, and asked:

"Don't we have to take action?"

"Not urgent."

Carla lazily lay on the recliner next to her and said lazily:
"Until the Lord of Steam falls, there is no need for us to take action."

Audrey nodded thoughtfully. It was not their turn to intervene in the war between gods, but it was more convenient for them to deal with the aftermath than the gods. As the only "heretic" in the Orthodox Church, the Steam Church was undoubtedly their key target.

In contrast, the Witch Cult was a secret organization hidden in the shadows, making it more difficult to find. Even if one tried to find them, it would be difficult to find their traces, let alone eradicate them.

This also made the Steam Church attract a lot of attention to the Witch Sect and put it under more pressure. And with the strength of the two angels in the Steam Church, it was indeed more worthy of attention than the Witch Sect.

That's why they appear here, quietly waiting for the final outcome.

Suddenly, Audrey, who was about to taste the black tea, stopped and looked up at the sky.

The sky is burning.
-
In the deep blue waves of the Raging Sea that seemed to never stop, the Future was like a leaf, sometimes thrown up and sometimes knocked down. There were still some pirate ships sailing in this sea area, and they were so used to similar situations that they felt it was as natural as the rising of the sun.

'Star Admiral' appeared on the deck of the 'Future', looking at the sky burning with flames, the purple in her eyes became extremely rich.

"What the hell..."

Cattleya murmured in a low voice. She had no idea what the current change was.

She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the flames again, for fear of being retaliated by the Eye of Secrets.

Uncontrollable hesitation, confusion and a little sadness emerged in the heart of this "Star Admiral". She was aware of this emotion quickly, but she could not understand it. She felt hesitant and confused about this unknown change without any signs.

But what about sadness?

She didn't know what happened, but she knew that the fire was the 'First Fire' planned by 'The Fool' and Embers.

The first fire burning the sky may be a symbol of doomsday in the eyes of others.

But in Cattleya's opinion, this may not be a bad thing.

It is normal to feel lost and confused, but why does she feel sad? Where does this sadness come from?

She looked at her crew members; they were all busy with their own affairs and seemed unaware of the changes in the sky.

No, it's not like I seemed to notice it. It's like I didn't notice it at all.

Cattleya suddenly realized that not everyone could see the flames.

Not everyone realizes the dramatic changes taking place in the world.

So, where does that sadness come from?

Is she sad, or is there someone making her sad?

"captain."

Her first mate Frank suddenly raised his head, tears streaming from his eyes:
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like crying."

As Frank spoke, the crew members raised their heads one after another, tears in their eyes.

The feeling of sadness spread on the Future, spreading as quickly as a plague.

"No, not 'Future'."

Cattleya leaned on the railing at the stern with both hands and murmured softly:
"It is the world that is crying."

The 'world' is in fear and wailing.

Therefore, these creatures living in the "world" will also feel sad because of this.

The 'world' is dying!
Suddenly, a greater sadness surged in Cattleya's heart. The most direct pain and sadness seemed to come from the source and poured into her heart. It was a sadness that her crew members could not feel!

Cattleya knew that it was the sorrow of the extraordinary people on the Hermit Path!

Because just a while ago, she had just experienced this kind of sadness when the Hidden Sage fell.

That time, she learned from Bernadette and Mr. Fool that the Hidden Sage died at the hands of the Lord of Steam. Even his authority was obtained by the Lord of Steam, and the Lord of Steam would use this to become a dual-path true god.

And now, Cattleya felt the same sadness again.

Does this mean that the Lord of Steam has also fallen?

"In the end what happened?"

The Hermit Cattleya looked up at the horizon. The burning flames became more and more vigorous, completely covering the entire sky and even gradually spreading to the ground. Cattleya could feel that her gaze made the flames rush towards her faster than in other directions.

It seems that those who can notice this change will be dealt with faster.

Flames fell from the sky, setting the ground ablaze.

The 'Future' almost turned into a sea, but the crew members were still unaware of it and their bodies were not harmed.

The same goes for Cattleya.

No matter how she touched the flame, she would not be burned, and would not even feel the temperature.

The flame was like an illusion, it changed nothing and affected nothing.

But when Cattleya looked at her crew members with her own eyes, she could clearly see that there was something new in their bodies—the flames had invisibly merged into their bodies, and also invisibly merged into every corner of the world.

Whether it is the sky, the earth or the ocean, whether it is human beings, animals or plants, everything in this world is being integrated into the "flame". The essence of all things is gradually changing, gradually "evolving" in another direction!
In that flame, it seemed as if there were no more secrets in the world. Cattleya could clearly see the essence of all things, which was a strength far beyond what she could possess at her own sequence.

She raised her head again, and the entire star realm was illuminated by flames. No secrets could be hidden. Even the invisible barrier that separated the part of the star realm corresponding to the earth from the complete star realm and the entire universe was highlighted.

At this moment, a group of terrifying giant faces that could not be described in detail were sticking to the transparent barrier with many cracks, hitting the barrier ferociously and madly. Cattleya could even clearly feel their anger!
She was filled with fear in her heart, the fear that comes from the heart of human beings towards God.

But her mind was fine, and all pollution had been purified by the flames before entering the world.

At this moment, humans can look God in the eye.
