Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 325 "Tea Chapter Party"

Chapter 325 "Tea Party"

"There's no need to be so blunt. Apart from the matter of the 'Black Emperor', what else do you know?"

Adam was dressed in a simple white robe, had a light blond beard, and a silver cross pendant hung on his chest.

He stood on the ruins of the church like a priest ready to explain history to his believers.

At this time, Adam had a warm expression and clear eyes, and it seemed that he just wanted to invite Star to chat about some daily matters.

“What do I wish I knew?”

Star had no interest in this kind of temptation and said directly.

Should he reveal that he knows that Adam is actually the divine aspect of the "ancient sun god" or just have another "confession game":
They said, "What kind of gods are you? You are causing great harm to people, you gods."

"Excuse me, this is really too much. Why are you doing this kind of promotion?"

"I see that every innocent person caught in the war cannot have a standard of living that is considered human"

"I see that behind every disaster there are 'you' who are indifferent and take advantage of the weak to make profits."

"They are now busy running around, but they can't maintain a basic life"

"Faced with that 'strong wind', what do you want them to do?"

“They can’t even afford to eat and have enough food, okay?”

"What kind of gods are you? What kind of gods are you?"

……

But it's useless. Those who want to be promoted are busy getting promoted, and those who want to compete are busy competing.

And those like them who were sacrificed by them will always be there as background figures, as one batch dies and another grows up.

Human life is just a number, just a string of numbers that will increase at any time.

As gods who have ascended to the throne with their consciences wiped out, they have long lost their emotions. If it weren't for the need to maintain "humanity" and the restrictions of the barriers, Star would wonder if they would become even more crazy in order to complete the requirements of various rituals?
such as:

Like Adam, one needs to make the times develop according to one's own plan, and then be promoted at the right time.

We need to use "people", right?
That's much simpler. There are a lot of these consumables, and they are extremely easy to operate.

Without any restrictions, as a "writer", he creates panic in order to manipulate public opinion, reaps money in order to control the situation, and then at the critical moment, he will deal with whichever force emerges, until he finally achieves the achievement of a "final producer".

Everyone submits to his rule, the purpose of completing the ritual to get promoted is achieved, and the resulting "anchor" is extremely solid.

As for the "sacrifice" involved?
Sorry, the Lord doesn't care.

He is God!

And this template can even be applied to any ritual that does not involve mystery.

There was no emotion in watching the Augustus family represented by George III complete the ceremony in that way.

Combined with the many twisted customs that were enforced by many empires during the Fourth Era for the benefit of those in high positions.

This shows how common this operation is.

Not to mention that only the divinity was left in Adam. In this state, there was no need for Him to speak of it at all, right?

Having said that, is it really not possible?
Star kept this question in his heart for the time being.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can still guess part of it."

"In the Second Era, as far as I can remember, there is no such person as you."

"I only recently discovered that the 'Imagination Dragon' created 'Groselle's Travels'."

"Where did you hear about this?"

Adam looked at Star with clear eyes, as if he was just exploring something.

"How long was it recently?"

"At least two or three hundred years."

He answered every question, without worrying that Star would hide something.

Because the necessary psychological suggestion has been made, although it is unexpected that this still cannot penetrate into Star's subconscious island to influence him, it can make him become more honest accordingly.

If that still doesn't work, Adam has other ways to get the information he wants from Star.

Indeed, Star is a very restrained "audience", able to use "confusion" to make himself "lost", thus deriving various effects - even Adam cannot figure it out.

It's just that a person's expression can obviously reveal some information. At the very least, Sta's sudden change can give Adam some basis for judgment.

This is the area that "Confusion" cannot cover for Adam - pay special attention to Star, you can always see it by looking directly, right?
If various scripts are arranged for Star, Adam can also obtain the information he needs.

At most, we can arrange more "virtual personalities" to observe.

Oddly enough:
Mystical methods are useless, but primitive methods like observation with the naked eye are effective.

This is... very "un-occult"!
If Klein were here, he might have complained:
"What kind of daily rules are the power of the mind!"

And, most importantly:

Star will relent.

This was the reason why Adam noticed that Star inexplicably targeted the Dusk Hermit Order he represented, and it made him feel thorny.

It is also an attribute that Adam can use.

What if this process involves other people, as Anderson was originally planned to do?
As the "Angel King" Adam who is the "audience" channel, He has many ways to instigate a "farce" against Star without direct arrangement.

So Adam just said calmly:
"Don't hide anything. You don't want to see the consequences."

Such threatening words came out of His mouth, becoming a statement with obvious warning implications.

As if realizing this, Star also put away his previous joking intention, and said after a moment of hesitation:

"Adam, or rather, 'the divine aspect of the ancient sun god', are you really going to do this?"

This sentence hit the divine side of Adam, the "ancient sun god" with great accuracy, and almost made the gentle expression on His face disappear.

The surroundings became quiet again.

But Star was not panicked at all, and was very sure that Adam would not take action just because he knew the secret.

Even some of Adam's plans that Star had felt were revealed in the "narration" were completely abandoned!
He could only feel fear.

This is also the "development set" by Star!
He has already caused so many troubles and planned so many disasters, and this is not enough. He wants to create additional troubles and pick Him out and put the blame on himself?
"Humph! No way!"

Facing Adam, who had a clear gaze and was deep in thought, and exuded a sense of oppression, Sta was not afraid at all.

Different from the solemn atmosphere he had felt before, Star felt no pressure at all and was extremely relaxed.

Until Adam spoke again:
"You really do know a lot."

"Even this kind of top-secret information."

"It even makes me wonder if you are another back-up plan of the 'omniscient and omnipotent one.'"

"Because only He bears the symbol of the realm of omniscience."

"Perhaps there are secrets in this world that I cannot explore even with my current level of knowledge."

At this point, Star interrupted Adam's speech directly:

"You talk a little too much."

This is not giving Adam any face at all.

Yes, he will not die, and his own extraordinary power has accumulated to a level that is enough to deal with most situations when no gods appear. Star can be so arrogant and does not need to be nice to Adam at all.

With this kind of handle in hand, it's just like Adam "playing hypocritically".

This is the confidence that all these trump cards bring him! "Would you like a cup of tea?

"I heard that this is a unique custom in your area."

Even though the conversation had reached this point, Adam's tone was still unhurried, and the temperament revealed in his words made Star feel like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"sit."

He “dreamed up” a set of sandalwood tables and chairs with a very Hua style on the ruins of the church on this island.

Since he already knew that both parties knew a lot, Adam chose not to continue hiding it.

Judging from the close relationship between Star and the successor of "Source Castle" named Klein, and those ideas that do not belong to this era.

Star’s “hometown” can also be determined.

"I really miss the texture of this kind of wood."

Seeing this, Star, as the saying goes, "Don't hit a smiling person", did not continue to confront Him.

He reached out and touched the table and chairs - the texture of this wood was rare and delicate, and it felt great to the touch. It seemed that Adam really put a lot of thought into it...

There was no excuse. After all, everything on the island was just Adam's imagination, so Star sat on it openly without any awareness of the serious words he had just said.

It seemed as if he had ignored the threat posed by the existence of Adam, the King of Angels.

At this time, Adam also sat down and said in a calm voice:
"It's strange to say. You haven't mastered very strong power yet. Although your extraordinary abilities are numerous and wonderful, compared with the 'Fortune Teller' who came down from 'Source Castle', it can also be explained as an increase in some special qualities."

“Even if there are some powerful means that allow you to carry out that scene at the Roselle exhibition without any pressure, it would not be so miraculous.”

"But why do I feel so threatened by you?"

"You really want to mention this?"

Star smiled, took the initiative to pick up the teapot and added tea leaves.

"I can only say that I do know a lot and have a lot of information about you. Is this what you want to say?"

Adam shook his head. Seeing that Star didn't say anything, he naturally couldn't force him to do anything.

"I am an 'Angel King', a former 'Ancient Sun God'. Can you show me some respect?"

He sighed, his tone seemed to carry a hint of helplessness in his clear eyes - it was unknown whether this emotion was simulated by Him, or whether he was using this method to emphasize to Star the "threat" that he also existed.

"I can't touch you. This is the greatest respect."

Star has a playful tone.

Adam was speechless, and could only hear Star's reply again:
"Isn't this good? We are both fighting on equal terms, on the premise that we can't move the other party."

"The only difference is that, compared to your former opponents, I know a little more, but my strength is slightly less."

"Come, have some tea."

Star pushed the brewed tea in front of Adam.

To be honest, the tea that Adam imagined was well restored, at least it made Star think of some varieties he had tasted before for a moment.

"Your motivations are different from theirs, too."

Adam took a sip and added.

"so what?"

"Let's have tea."

Having said that, Star and Adam sat opposite each other and urged Him to drink more.

Halfway through pouring the tea, the evening light suddenly spilled onto the table and chairs.

Star and Adam looked over there at the same time.

Adam asked, "Do you know the situation of the various high-ranking people?"

Star passed by Him and looked into the distance: "Don't ask me, I don't know."

Adam's clear eyes moved: "I heard that there is such a creature in your country, which can be big or small, can rise or hide; when it is big, it can create clouds and spit out mist, and when it is small, it can hide its body; when it rises, it can fly in the world, and when it hides, it can lurk in the waves."

"Now is the time of the alternation of yin and yang. As the timing changes, many high-ranking people will wait for the opportunity to act, and it may even become an epic and myth worthy of being recorded in history."

"You know so much, you must know of a high-ranking being who could become a 'hero'. Please try to tell me."

Star said: "How can I recognize those high beings with my mortal eyes?"

Adam said, "Don't be modest."

Star said: "I have been given opportunities to understand many things. But there are many high-ranking people in this world that I have never seen."

Adam said, “Though you do not know their faces, you have at least heard their names.”

Star provocation usually starts with mentioning a name:
"In the Second Era, the 'Imaginary Dragon' Angerwede left behind a backup plan called '0-07', which is related to him. He may be resurrected at any time. Can he be considered a hero?" Adam said with a smile:
"He is nothing but dry bones in a grave. I will catch him sooner or later!"

Star then casually mentioned another name and asked, "'Son of the Creator' Amon, who has gone through four eras and planned many events, is known as the 'blasphemer'; now he occupies the 'thief' path, and has many supporters based on your name, can you be considered a hero?" Adam smiled and said:
"Amon has a strange image but is timid, likes to plan but lacks decision-making; he cherishes his life when he is ready to do great things, but forgets his life when he sees small gains: he is not a hero."

Star asked: "There is a being who is also called 'Sun God' and is feared by Intis; can he be considered a hero?" Adam said: "'Eternal Blazing Sun' is only in name only, not a hero."

Star asked: "There is a man who is full of vigor and vitality. He is the leader of the existing 'ancient gods'. Is the God of War a hero?" Adam said: "The God of War is just relying on his previous reputation. He is not a hero."

Star asked: "Can Dark Night of the 'Old Ones' be considered a hero?" Adam said: "Although Dark Night can achieve a lot, he is just plotting for his own benefit. How can he be a hero!"

Star asked: "What about beings like 'God of Steam and Machinery', 'Lord of Storms', 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'?" Adam laughed and said: "These beings who do nothing and only know how to stand in line are not worth mentioning!"

Star was silent, and could only say: "Besides that, I really don't know." Adam said: "To be called a hero, one must have great ambitions, good plans, wisdom to embrace the world, and the ambition to swallow up the universe."

"Who can be called a hero like this?"

Adam pointed at Star, then at himself, and said:

"The only people in this world who have the potential to become heroes are you and me!"

When Star heard this, his expression changed, his hands trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground unknowingly.

Just then dusk had passed and darkness fell.

Star then calmly lowered his head, picked up the teacup and said:

"It was just night time. It scared me."

Adam smiled and said, "Are Beyonders afraid of the dark, too?"

Star said: "I will hit the wall many times in the dark night. How can I not be afraid?"

He lightly concealed the real reason why he dropped the chopsticks, which was because he heard Adam's words.

"Besides, you are a little wrong."

"what?"
