Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 152 Promote
"Great Sun God, can you tell me what a time traveler is?"

From the way he addressed her, one could tell what Amon was feeling at the moment.

But Amon's expression was unusually serious at this moment. The corners of his mouth, which were usually upturned, were tightly pursed. It was obvious that he was not only curious about these words that were beyond his cognition, but also exploring them.

Seeing Amon's expression, Hermione glanced at Lilith beside her. Lilith looked as if she was not familiar with such words.

Guessing that Amon had learned these words from his interactions with Roselle, Hermione explained slowly:

"Travelers. In the prehistoric civilization of Earth, which predates the Dark Ages, in popular novels of that time, they specifically referred to aliens who traveled from other worlds."

When the words "Earth's prehistoric civilization" were mentioned, Hermione saw Lilith's expression change slightly.

Based on this fleeting and subtle change in her expression, Hermione had a rough idea of Lilith's origins.

A veil of shadows covered the steel "palace," which had long since become her divine kingdom. Hermione continued:
"However, I am not a time traveler. Amanesis and I are both remnants of the old times who survived from that long-gone era."

"You and the 'Lord of Dusk'..." Lilith seemed to be shocked by these words and could not help but exclaim in surprise, losing some of her usual composure.

Amon looked at the somewhat out-of-control Lilith with suspicion. A guess emerged in his mind, and he asked directly, "Sister Lilith, are you also... a remnant of the Old Ones?"

"I..." Lilith sighed softly, a complex expression on her face. "My situation is special. My parents both claimed to be from Earth, but they didn't survive the Dark Age. It was I, by some strange coincidence, who devoured everything and gained the power of the gods."

Hermione wasn't surprised to hear Lilith's story. After all, Lilith's daily behavior, way of thinking, and understanding of certain memes were not in line with the era she lived in.

Amon then asked the towering light and shadow on the Iron Throne, "Is Roselle Gustav also a remnant of the Old Ones? Then why is he so weak? Is he a time traveler?"

Russell, the "Mystic Scholar", was not weak, but in Amon's opinion, as the remnants of the old times, these real antiques, whose ages were suspected to be tens of thousands or even longer, should be powerful beings close to the level of gods.

Hermione explained slowly:

"The remnants of the old times haven't truly lived awake from prehistoric civilization until today. Instead, for various reasons, they've all fallen into a deep slumber."

"Like Roselle, He was originally dormant in Sefirah Castle. It was because of your repeated attempts to explore Sefirah Castle that His consciousness awakened and merged with the dying Roselle Gustav, bringing Him back to life in the current era."

Understanding the concept of the Old Ones, Amon relaxed. He had originally thought that "travelers" and "Earthlings" were some mysterious monsters or enemies.

"Then, are there many old survivors like mother in this world?" He restored the title of mother. It was obvious that since Hermione was willing to explain her origins, Amon was gradually accepting her previous concealment.

"At the moment, it seems there are only four of us, myself, Amanesis, Roselle, and Grisha. We all fell into a deep sleep under the protection of the Source, and directly avoided the catastrophe that destroyed the old civilization."

Hermione sighed inwardly when she reached this point, paused, and continued:

"Of course, judging by the situations of the Giants and Lilith, a small number of humans and creatures did survive the catastrophe. Some of these humans, under the influence of Beyonder characteristics, underwent alienation and became different Beyonder races."

To Amon and Lilith's curiosity, Hermione recounted many stories about Earth's prehistoric civilization, its culture, its technological achievements, and some interesting trivia. Finally, she concluded, "...So, we can all be called Earthlings, but we belong to different eras."

"That's you guys, don't drag me down." Amon had returned to his usual lazy self, with a slight smile on his face as he said, "I'm not even considered a human, how can I be considered an Earthling?"

Amon was almost saying that a child without a mother is a weed.

Hermione couldn't help but choke up when she heard this.

It turns out that children cannot be spoiled.

There's no little temper that a spanking can't fix.

Hermione was quite tempted, but now that she sat on the Iron Throne, she couldn't really do anything...

Besides, Amon was indeed worried about her...

Thinking of this, Hermione's tone softened: "I have been hiding this from you. It's my fault. So, what compensation do you want?"

Amon looked up at the majestic light and shadow on the Iron Throne. The feeling of being deceived in his heart had gradually dissipated in the frank words of Hermione.

Although he really wanted to play a prank and take a little revenge on the woman, he knew very well that in his mother's position, he couldn't even make many jokes.

After thinking for a moment, Amon said, "I've found the whereabouts of the third copy of the 'Worm of Time'. How about this: if you find a way to get it for me, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

"Oh?" Hermione looked at Amon with a hint of surprise. "You actually found the third copy of the 'Worm of Time'?"

Amon nodded and said, "Originally, it was on Roselle who fell from Sefirah Castle. But now, it should have been taken away by the 'Hidden Sage'."

"I see." Hermione suddenly realized.

With this key clue provided by Amon, many things were deduced.

Obviously, under Amon's constant probing, Sefirah Castle suddenly launched Huang Tao with the intention of leading Huang Tao onto the "wrong" path.

Compared to Amon, who grew up wildly outside of "Source Castle", the more mechanical and dull will of "Source Castle" set by the Celestial Lord clearly tends to make the old survivors in "Source Castle" become the vessels for the Celestial Lord's revival.

Huang Tao, who came down from Sefirah Castle, originally had the opportunity to directly accommodate the "Worm of Time" characteristics that included the characteristics of the previous sequence. Once successful, he could land and become an archangel, and then directly revive the will of "Tianzun".

However, by mistake, the "Worm of Time" was picked up by the "Hidden Sage".

Not only that, the "Hidden Sage" also guided Huang Tao, also known as Russell, onto the path of "universal knowledge".

"Fate..." Hermione chuckled playfully in her heart.

Then, Hermione teased Amon, "You want the 'Worm of Time' trait that the Concealed Sage took away? Then maybe it would be more effective if you were to be sweet and call Amanesis 'Mom'."

Amon instantly understood the meaning of Hermione's words and realized that Amanesis was targeting the "Hidden Sage".

Hermione continued, "Since the third 'Worm of Time' trait is in the 'Hidden Sage', it can't escape. You don't have to worry. However..."

Hermione's tone grew serious as she earnestly reminded him, "If you want to become a god, you must find the Underworld. Within the Underworld lies a tributary of the River of Eternal Darkness. This is the power seeping from the Source Essence, the River of Eternal Darkness. It can help you resist the resurrection of the will of the Celestial Lord within you."

Amon pondered for a moment before saying, "The Underworld? The kingdom of the Phoenix ancestor?" Hermione warned, "I suspect a danger on the level of a god has already emerged within the Underworld. So, if you can truly find the 'Underworld,' don't act rashly. Come to me first."

"Alright. I understand." Listening to Hermione's concerned nagging, Amon suddenly thought of something. His eyes rolled slightly, revealing a sweet and innocent smile. He said, "Then I'll go find the Lord of Dusk first."

"Goodbye, Lilith...sister." Before Amon disappeared, he waved at Lilith, but his address made Lilith laugh and cry.

When Hermione heard that Amon was going to find Amanesis, for some reason, a chill suddenly surged up behind her.

But she changed her mind and realized that Amon was going to find Amanisis. With the steady and reliable Amanisis in charge, no matter how erratic Amon's personality was, he would not cause any trouble.

Moreover, Hermione saw Amon's tolerance.

This child was worried that his prank would affect what she called the "big picture"...

Although Hermione wanted to say to Amon in her heart, "Do as you wish, whatever your heart desires," she also understood that with her current situation and strength, she was not qualified to say such words.

Amon's figure completely disappeared, and Lilith, who was standing beside him, burst out laughing: "'Sun God', it seems that you are not very good at coaxing your daughter."

There's a real mother here... Hermione wasn't annoyed by what she heard, but humbly asked, "Lilith, how do you think I should respond to Amon's questioning?"

Lilith said seriously, "You don't have to worry. I can see that you hold a very high status in the child's heart. However... what Amon wants from you is recognition and trust."

After hearing this, Hermione suddenly understood. She knew that she really didn't trust Amon enough.

It's not the same distrust as towards Grisha, Russell and others.

Instead, they were worried that Amon, who acted without scruples, would do something wrong.

Even if some people do something wrong, it is difficult to cause any emotional fluctuations in her.

But deep down in her heart, she didn't want Amon to be associated with doing something wrong.

Is this... the tangled and complicated mentality of being a parent?

Somehow, sensing Hermione's current mood from this silence, Lilith sighed, "Children always grow up. People like you are likely to become the kind of adults with a strong desire for control."

As she spoke, Lilith also thought of her children who had been bewitched by the "Original Moon"...

"I can only say that we must grasp the right measure..."

Having said that, Lilith didn't continue the topic of motherhood and asked Hermione, "Everyone seems so busy, is there anything I need to do?"

Hermione responded, "Strive to become a true god, Lilith. The current era is the most suitable time for you to become a god. It's good that Amon is delaying it, but if you delay it any further, it will cause changes."

……

A hidden unknown place.

The "Hidden Sage" held the pocket watch in his hand. By possessing this powerful characteristic, He achieved a shallow parasitism on "Rossel Gustav", allowing this destined protagonist of the era to be under His control and influence.

"The Apotheosis Ceremony of the Path to Perfection" and "The Situation of the One Lord"...

He had obtained so much important information from Roselle that the Hidden Sage suspected that this information was deliberately released by the Sun God and Grisha...

The "Hidden Sage" can feel that His power is constantly increasing. In the organization that believes in Him, it seems that powerful people who fanatically believe in Him have emerged, and in His name, the power of the "Secret Peepers" has disappeared from the real world.

His power indeed grew rapidly because of this fanatical act.

He even had the concept of "deification ceremony" and vaguely felt that his own deification ceremony seemed to be being promoted.

The innate knowledge received from the Great Mother allows the "Hidden Sage" to know that the "Perfect One" and the "Hidden One" are two adjacent paths.

"Perfect beings use themselves to drive the development of the material world, while hermits do the exact opposite...?"

It seemed that the chance to become a god was right before his eyes, and that he could complete the tasks assigned by the "Great Mother" more perfectly and thus gain more favor. However, the "Hidden Sage" had doubts in his heart, and subconsciously, he wanted to stabilize himself.

But when he received the message from the "Corrupt Giant" Badhair requesting help, and when he saw the black-framed glasses worn by the little boy chasing Badhair, his strong desire to gather directly swallowed up his limited rationality.

……

Wearing glasses, Tolzner, with his tiny human form, completely suppressed the corrupt giant that was more than ten meters in front of him.

Although the abilities and fighting style of this former "God of Dawn" are completely different from before.

But with the help of the glasses given by the girl, Tolzna predicted all the actions of the corrupt giant. In addition, his status was higher than that of the other party, so dealing with him was easier than the girl said.

At this time, the corrupt giant's connection with the spiritual world was temporarily severed by Him.

Tolzner wanted to seize the opportunity to kill the opponent completely.

But at this moment, an irresistible and strange desire suddenly emerged from Tolzner's heart, as if the high-level being who had always influenced him was resurrected from the corrupt giant in front of him.

In Tolzna's sight, he actually saw a wet and charming flower suddenly blooming on the dead and rotten face of the corrupt giant.

The phantom disappeared in the blink of an eye, but in this brief moment, Tolzna's ability to seal the enemy's connection with the spiritual world was exposed. A piece of rotten flesh fell from Badhair's body, turned into a message and merged into the spiritual world.

Seeing this, Tolzner had a bad feeling.

He immediately changed his thoughts of killing into banning.

But at the moment He mobilized His strength.

A torrent of information, as vast and terrifying as a torrent, rushed straight towards Him from the spiritual world!
