Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 389 388 The Symbol of Death

When Klein returned, the war had already ended.

However, the expressions on the faces of a few people looked slightly strange.

The vengeful spirit Marich had his head down, seemingly deep in thought, while the puppet Sharon was possessing a middle-aged man, appearing to be stripping away his extraordinary abilities.

The absurd, bizarre, and terrifying spiritual warning made Klein glance at it and immediately avert his gaze.

"It's that demigod from the Hedonistic Faction..."

That was incredibly fast! He had just killed the werewolf when Sharon had already dealt with the enemy.

In a battle at the demigod level, even a single mistake could allow an evenly matched enemy to find an opening and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

He didn't notice Sharon's thoughtful expression as she emerged from the corpse, displaying extraordinary abilities. She looked at Tang and asked with concern:
"Tang, are you alright?"

"No, and rather than worrying about what's wrong with me, I think you could be more concerned about what I've gained."

Tang smiled and showed off his newly acquired secret puppet.

Look, a Sequence 5 vengeful spirit, the perfect choice for a master of puppetry.

Maric choked on his breath.

You really do give a performance without holding back.

Sharon showed no change in expression. She looked at Tang, nodded slightly, and then her figure gradually disappeared.

The crimson corona is broken, but there will be no problem in taking the corresponding historical aperture images.

"Goodbye."

Maric lowered his head and quickly disappeared from sight.

Klein felt that Marich's behavior was really abnormal, as if he was afraid of something, but after scanning his surroundings, apart from Tang who was dealing with his own puppet, there was only him, the not-so-evil god "Fool".

There must be another reason, is it an injury?

There can't possibly be another, larger version of an evil god here, can there?
Klein was amused by his own thoughts.

Even if injured, according to Klein's understanding of the Rose School's temperance faction, as long as he doesn't die on the spot, develop extraordinary traits, or go out of control and become a monster, everything can be remedied.

After all, they are local bigwigs in the Southern Continent, a secret organization that has developed peacefully without any enemies. The amount of things they have accumulated is terrifying.

He put on a magic show, even though the audience was just a Sequence 7 werewolf, but the feedback he received was enough. Klein felt that he only needed to play the magician for a while before he could prepare to advance to the Faceless Man.

Tang watched as Klein, once again wrongly wielding power, regretfully lost the truth, and the smile on his lips never faded.

"Then let's go too."

He landed in the sky without realizing it, where a huge red moon stood out against the darkness of the night.

"Are you angry? Did your scheme fail? Or was this just a pretext to test me?"

Whatever, he'll take whichever one it is.

Even though the barrier hasn't been completely broken yet, and he hasn't advanced to Sequence 0 to become a true Great Old One, Tang felt he could still exchange a few blows with the Fallen Mother Goddess across the wall.

"So, what's next..."

-

Backlund, Church of St. Samuel of the Church of the Night.

Underground, Daly Simone looked at the notes in front of her, her expression calm and devoid of any emotion.

Like lake water poured into a jar, it no longer has a ripple.

She sat quietly alone in the chair, and in this absolutely silent place, Daly's pupils suddenly dilated slightly.

“Dunne?” She looked up and saw Dunne Smith wearing a black top hat, who had appeared in the corner of the room at some point.

With his grey eyes fixed intently on Daly, Dunn's lips twitched slightly as if he wanted to say something, but the next second, the figure vanished.

Dai Li was momentarily dazed, rubbed her forehead, and gave a wry smile.

"I haven't been getting enough rest lately."

However, this is not an isolated case.

In just a few breaths, countless people across the world—the Eastern Continent, the Southern Continent, and the Northern Continent—felt as if they had seen their deceased relatives and friends. The phantoms seemed to want to speak to them, but vanished the moment they were about to utter a word.

Those in high positions realized something, and they proactively used their extraordinary abilities to capture images of their relatives and friends, and clearly heard what that sentence meant.

"Is death not the end of life?"

Death is not the end of life... This is one of the core doctrines of the Spirit Cult, the Spirit Cult of the Southern Continent...

Those who knew the inside story realized something, and their pupils dilated in shock.

-

Beyond the starry sky.

In the endless universe.

Tang, who walks through the starry sky, appears here as a high-dimensional projection. Around him, all sorts of strange and inexplicable creatures stiffen their bodies and guard his high-dimensional projection.

Irving stood beside Tang, appearing in physical form.

Compared to not long ago, Irving's dark pupils now shimmered with a pale, cold, lifeless, eternal, and grayish light.

That illusion, like the embodiment of death itself, gave the puppets controlled by Tang the feeling that their spiritual threads were completely rotten and dying, even if they only got close to them.

"Sequence 0, Death."

"The ascension ritual creates or merges a true final resting place for the dead, making it the destination to which all death in this realm points."

The new underworld of the Southern Continent was grafted onto the star system here, all symbols of death were unified, embracing uniqueness, and by consuming the remaining extraordinary characteristics of the Pale Emperor, Owen successfully advanced to Sequence 0, Death.

Then, his power regressed.

Tang slid his finger, and a timeline, like a rewind, appeared on Irving.

Sequence 0, Death, return to the state of three Sequence 1 potions plus uniqueness.

Then, the uniqueness and one extraordinary characteristic were separated and fell into Tang's hands, and Owen returned to the Angel King state with two Sequence 1s.

"In this way, while the goddess's deal is completed, we also have a helper at the Sequence 0 level before the Eternal Darkness appears."

Irving clenched his fist and looked at Tang. "Does this count as a complete Sequence 0?"

"It's incomplete, so Salinger's mark can't be completely removed, but your death mark is unique."

Uniqueness is unique in itself. Unless the authority of the Lord of Mysteries is applied to blur perception, concepts and history, causing a loophole in the underlying logic of the mysticism of uniqueness itself, or the Goddess of Night perfectly conceals the uniqueness of Death, Owen, even if he has advanced to Sequence 0, will not be able to maintain his Sequence 0 level and status through the observation of the observer.

This uniqueness will then be handed over to the goddess of the night.

"But this is a good start... well, we have to go now, those guys are really annoying, chasing after us like crazy."

Tang glanced at the hanging puppets around him, and then they quickly withered, decayed, and disappeared, leaving only their extraordinary characteristics in his hands.

The interstellar gate opened, and the two passed through it, returning to the continent they knew.

The pursuing Outer Gods' retinue was met with a storm of frenzied knowledge, resulting in heavy casualties.
