Mystery: A Spark

"Mr. Hanged Man, do you mean that the chief of Silver City deliberately conveyed this matter to us through Little Sun? But what would be his purpose?" Audrey asked with some doubt.

After a moment's thought, Alger asked Derrick in a serious tone:

"Besides this matter, has your chief said anything else?"

Derrick paused for a moment, then replied:

“Indeed, our chief said that Yudel, the chief’s brother, has been parasitized by a man named Amon. The reason why it has only started to show abnormalities now is that Amon is probably waiting for something in our Silver City.”

"Waiting? What could it be waiting for?" Audrey murmured to herself, lost in thought.

"Has anything strange happened in your Silver City recently?" Alger asked.

“Something that could be considered strange… could it be the Temple of the True Creator?” Derrick guessed.

Arthur sighed softly, drawing everyone's attention, and then asked a question that sent a chill down Klein's spine:

"Little Sun, don't you think you are a unique being? In the isolated Land of Forsaken Gods, you are able to communicate with us outsiders and even exchange supplies."

"If Amon is indeed waiting for something, then it's most likely waiting for you, or more precisely..."

To be more precise, he was waiting for me! Klein mentally completed the sentence for Arthur.

“Mr. Chariot, do you mean to say…” Audrey asked in astonishment.

Alger hadn't expected Arthur to say that. He glanced at the Fool at the head of the long table and saw that the being in the gray mist remained calm and composed, as if he didn't care about what the chariot had said. Only then did he feel relieved and focus his attention on what the chariot was about to say.

“Mr. Fool should already know,” Arthur said, offering a compliment to Klein.

"Heh." Klein chuckled lightly, as if he didn't care at all that Amon might be lying in wait for him.

In reality, he was in a complete panic, but he was only managing to control himself and not show any abnormalities by forcibly using his clown abilities.

Arthur glanced around at the others, who were somewhat stunned, and explained:

"Amon is the king of angels who is a thief."

"As far as I know, the Thief's Path and the Diviner's Path are adjacent, and the name of the apex of the Diviner's Path is..."

"The Fool."

Chapter 185 Klein: Amon is nothing but a petty thief.

Under Arthur's influence, Klein did not encounter Amon.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The advantage is that, although Amon knows that his clone has been killed, he should not yet know that this is related to the Fool.

Under normal circumstances, Amon's clones are all independent and do not connect with each other to exchange information unless there are special circumstances.

In the original story, Amon knew that the Source Castle had appeared because Colin let a bug out of the dungeon, and Derrick took the bug outside.

Taking him outside would have been fine, but Klein even personally took to kill the insects with the help of Source Castle in order to rescue Derrick.

In this situation, Amon naturally wanted to connect to the internet and share information about his encounter with the Source Castle, since he had been craving it for a long time.

However, according to Derrick's description, when Colin made the move, there were only him and Huddle present.

Even if Amon wanted to parasitize, he could only parasitize Colin.

But Colin is a demigod, and recently he was promoted to a demon hunter. If he wanted to parasitize him, it would be more likely that Amon's original body would come over.

To think that a mere clone could silently enter Colin's body? That's just a pipe dream.

Therefore, under the suppression of "Crown of Glory," as long as Colin killed the two worms on the spot, the news simply could not get out.

At most, Amon knows that his clone died, but as for why it died, that's almost impossible for him to know.

Unless Colin drags his feet on killing him and brings Hudder out for some pointless interrogation or something, there's no chance the news will get out.

However, it is clear that Colin's intelligence is not the problem; otherwise, Hudder would not have been imprisoned in the dungeon for forty-two years.

You know, he's Colin's older brother.

Of course, being brothers doesn't necessarily prove anything, after all, Li Shimin is a good example.

But no matter what, if Colin were a normal person, he wouldn't do something as brain-dead as locking someone in a dungeon for forty-two years and then trying to bring that person out after they had already shown signs of having problems.

Even if an interrogation is necessary, it can only be conducted in the dungeon; there's no reason to bring someone out for interrogation.

Therefore, in Arthur's view, the Fool's whereabouts should not have been revealed at this time.

However, there is a downside to Amon not having met Klein before: Klein probably doesn't yet know just how important the Source Castle he holds is.

Although he knew his special ability was extraordinary, he didn't know just how extraordinary it was.

Klein's current situation is actually much better than in the original story.

Firstly, because of Arthur, he had a comrade-in-arms he could rely on.

Secondly, he was reunited with his family and had the company of loved ones.

Therefore, Klein at this time was not as cautious as he was in the original story, which was exactly what Arthur wanted.

A mysterious lord who is full of humanity and has a strong sense of responsibility is more in line with his expectations.

In fact, Mr. Men is more suitable than Klein.

Because this is a ruthless big shot who is only half a step away from becoming a god, and who is willing to wipe out his entire family in order to prevent Earth from being invaded by alien gods.

Perhaps he is not as humane and emotionally rich as Klein, but he is definitely far superior in terms of his sense of responsibility to the Earth and his unwavering will.

Let Him confront the will of that old Biden, the Celestial Venerable; He might very well last longer than Klein.

Unfortunately……

However, Arthur did not want Klein to become too complacent, causing him to lose all caution. Otherwise, he might unwittingly fall into Amon's trap and lose the Source Castle one day.

Then Arthur won't need to play anymore; he can just hide in the steam church and become a shut-in, without having to bother with anything else.

So now that this opportunity has presented itself, Arthur can conveniently let Klein know some things.

Let Klein know that someone is eyeing his cheat code, so he should be more careful and not let the rats smell it.

After Arthur finished speaking, silence fell over the gray fog.

Although members of the Tarot Club had previously speculated about the Fool's identity, guessing that he might be a resurrected ancient god or an alias of some mysterious being.

But speculation is just speculation. As long as Mr. Fool doesn't give a direct response, everyone can pretend to be ignorant and avoid talking about this topic.

And now, this matter has finally been confirmed.

Do you believe what Arthur says?

That's definitely true, because it's the trust built up over a long period of time by Mr. Chariot's reliable performance.

Whether it's logical reasoning ability, the breadth of knowledge of the occult, or the ability to control the troublesome situations encountered by the members, Mr. Chariot can be said to be quite strong.

The members of the Tarot Club, including Mr. Fool himself, had all received help from Mr. Chariot to varying degrees, so they had no doubt about Mr. Chariot's words.

After all, this coincided with their suspicions: that Mr. Fool was a resurrected ancient god.

Moreover, he was not in good condition.

Since you're not in good shape, there's a possibility that someone might take advantage of your vulnerability.

So, was the Chariot subtly warning Mr. Fool to be wary of the schemes of that man named Amon? But shouldn't Amon be part of a family? Why would the Chariot say that Amon is an angel king...? Hmm, perhaps he was referring to the strongest member of this family, someone who might be referred to simply by his surname, because he is the most unique member of the family... Alger had a sudden realization.

“Mr. Chariot, do you mean that the man named Amon is…” Audrey couldn’t help but look at Mr. Fool at the head of the bronze table with a worried expression.

At that moment, she heard a soft laugh from within the mist:

"He's just a petty thief, only good for petty theft. Don't worry about him."

The atmosphere above the gray fog immediately relaxed.

"Yes, a thief is a thief. No matter what, he can't be open about it. He can only cause trouble in the dark. He can't possibly be a match for Mr. Fool..." Audrey relaxed a lot.

However, she soon had another question:

"By the way, I wanted to ask, what kind of ability is parasitism?"

The person who answered her was Alger:

"This is an ability that only high-sequence extraordinary individuals in the Thief pathway possess. I don't know exactly which sequence it is, but I do know that it allows high-sequence individuals in the Thief pathway to parasitize other people's bodies."

"This parasite allows thieves to steal the host's lifespan or other things, and it is very covert. It takes a lot of effort to detect, so it has always been feared by major extraordinary organizations, including the Church of the True God."

He knew that the chariot was likely also aware of this information, so he preemptively revealed the part of the information he knew.

After learning that Mr. Fool was indeed a true god, Alger felt his future was even brighter, so he naturally worked even harder to perform well.

Although Mr. Fool may be in poor condition and rather weak, even the weakest God is still the true God.

Rather, it's precisely because Mr. Fool was in a bad state that Alger felt his future was bright.

Because only when Mr. Fool is in a bad state will he need someone like him to help him, and in that case, he will surely reap huge rewards in the future.

Conversely, if Mr. Fool is a true god in a complete state like the Seven Gods, then what role can Alger play?

Therefore, even knowing that Mr. Fool might be very weak at this time, and that there was an enemy of the level of the Angel King, Alger did not waver at all.

As for the others, although they were not as pragmatic as Alger, they had similar thoughts and felt that following Mr. Fool was the better thing to do.

No one even considered the idea of ​​betraying Mr. Fool and joining the ranks of His enemy, Amun.

After all, Mr. Fool is kind-hearted, likes fair trade, and is a mysterious being who is rational and capable of communication.

Such mysterious world bosses are extremely rare, even with a lantern.

As for that angel king Amon, judging from what he did in the Silver City of the Little Sun, such as indiscriminately killing innocent people, parasitizing others and causing them to eventually become monsters, and forcing the chief of the Silver City to kill each other, it is clear that he is not a good thing at all.

Anyone with a sound mind would never consider betraying Mr. Fool and instead siding with that man named Amon.

"This ability is a bit too strange, isn't it? What if my family members are parasitized?" Audrey said worriedly after listening to Alger's story.

"Actually, there's no need to worry. As Mr. Hanged Man just said, this ability will be feared by major extraordinary organizations, and Backlund is a city with three righteous churches located here."

“So under normal circumstances, high-sequence individuals wouldn’t come here to court death, let alone a target as big as the Angel King. If they were discovered, they would definitely be doomed,” Arthur chuckled, trying to comfort them.

Audrey quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with some worry:

"Isn't there any way to defend against this parasitic ability? It's terrifying."

“If there are ways to defend against it, then this ability won’t cause any concern,” Alger said with a hint of helplessness.
