Mystery: The Stranger

Chapter 74 Conspiracy by Several Parties

"About me?"

Medici didn't understand, but he was still excited. "Could it be that I killed those two guys, Sauron and Ainhorn, and once again upheld the iron will and purity of the Hunter's Path?"

"No..."

What I see is your death.

Even the fallen God felt a bit helpless, but because this was a rather serious topic, he still spoke about it earnestly.

"die?"

"Who did this?! Could it be Ocycus, Leodorus, those two? Did someone shamelessly ambush me?"

Medici was surprised. He had thought about other things, but he hadn't expected that his life would suddenly be involved. Could those two bastards, Ocycus and Leodorus, really be so shameless as to ambush him, Medici? That couldn't be right. Besides, he had the ability to share with the team and could borrow the power and authority of the fallen god. Even if it was an ambush, he couldn't be killed so easily.

Who can kill me?

Am I that stupid?

This immediately piqued Medici's curiosity, and he was eager to know the answer.

Urolius, the "Angel of Fate," also looked over. He felt that it shouldn't be Medici who died. Or perhaps the Primordial Witch had joined the Six Gods' side, and then... But that didn't seem very likely. The current Six Gods shouldn't allow other gods to control two paths, since they all only had one.

"It is not a clear prophecy."

"It's just a feeling; if you did that, you would die."

The "Fallen God" shook his head slightly. Even when facing two loyal followers, he still did not give a clear answer. He only had a premonition, but he could not explain it. The only thing he was sure of was that Solomon's resurrection needed to be brought forward.

Moreover, since Medici is the one in danger, we should start preparing early.

"Medici, you need to get your act together. Find an opportunity to take down one Conqueror first, and then deal with the other one."

The Fallen God is not currently in a passive state regarding the future. Although He does not know what the potential dangers to Medici may be, He is not afraid, nor does He believe that anyone can forcibly kill His King of Angels. Moreover, as long as Medici can be promoted to Sequence 0 Red Priest, then conventional dangers need not be considered.

"Lord... I'll do my best."

"I've always wanted to, but those two guys, Sauron and Einhorn, always team up against me, and they have the support of the Six Gods behind them."

Medici, hearing the pressure from the fallen God, laughed it off rather awkwardly.

It's not that He didn't try, but it was really difficult. Even though He is the King of Angels of Sequence 1, it is still very difficult to kill another Sequence 1, especially the other two conquerors. Only when facing Himself, they are like brothers (sisters), exceptionally united.

"It's okay, there will be opportunities. The current balance will definitely be broken."

"Only when the balance is broken will some people have new opportunities; we just need to wait patiently."

Various visions appeared before the Fallen God. Even though He seemed to have lost the authority of the dreamer, with the first blasphemous tablet, He was almost the same as if He had not lost the authority of the dreamer. In any case, He and the "dreaming angel" Adam were still the same person. Whatever He proclaimed would surely come to pass.

The undercurrents caused by the resurrection of the Elf King have brought forward the resurrection of the "Black Emperor" Solomon by three or four hundred years. The United Empire originally had a lifespan of 500 years, but now, only two or three hundred years have passed, and there is already a sense that a storm is brewing and the country is about to collapse.

For over a hundred years, Snow failed to find the other two Hand of Order properties.

This is unreasonable, extremely unreasonable.

He is already half a judge, and has even maintained long-term communication with the Uncertain Mist for two hundred years. With the Black Emperor absent and the Genie thrown into the Gray Mist Space, and currently clearly out of contact, He should be the existence with the highest weight in the Order II pathway. Under such circumstances where there are obviously no competitors, the remaining two Sequence 1 characteristics cannot be found.

Who hid this?

A fallen God? The Six Gods? Or some other hidden being?

Snow is faced with a very serious problem: even if the Six Gods reluctantly admit their existence and the world is in a relatively peaceful state, even if this state continues for another 500 years, He still will not be able to collect the other two Hand of Order properties.

The worst thing isn't that someone else gets it before you do.

Instead, the person who receives it keeps it to themselves and refuses to speak of it.

Even if the moon is unique, it still has a chance to be snatched away by a cunning old fox like the Goddess of the Night.

But now, it seems they've learned from the Goddess of Night's lesson. The others are keeping their abilities hidden, even sealing them away in their divine kingdoms. They don't use them, they don't take them out, they just waste them, leave them empty, and don't give them a chance. Snow has no way to do anything about it. He can't exactly search through all the gods' divine kingdoms, can he?

That's really ruthless.

They're all blocking each other's path; without other paths to true godhood, no one can advance.

"What are you planning to do?"

"Wait another 200 years? Keep grinding? Trade power with the Outer Gods in the starry sky?"

Salatas was somewhat gloating, but He did like to see this scene. Snow had previously gotten away with something and risen to the top in one step, which had made Him a little unhappy. Now He felt much better. After all, it was power that had been picked up, and it was not complete. If Snow wanted to go any further, He would have to make some noise. This was just what He needed to do to relieve his boredom.

"I can't wait."

Snow laid his cards on the table, having nothing to hide from Saratas.

He simply couldn't wait.

While life may seem peaceful and serene, and one can enjoy this time in tranquility, being anxious is a sign of short-sightedness and impatience.

But Snow's path did not grant him the blessing of a peaceful and enjoyable life.

For companies like Liushen, there's no rush. They are established companies with good cash flow, stable business, and guaranteed profits regardless of circumstances.

Snow is different. He inherited the old workshop left by the Elf King. It seemed to be very powerful in the past, but when it started, it borrowed a large amount of operating loans. Moreover, it was doing a business that was in a booming market. Without long-term stable customers and orders to support it, and having to be responsible to the two major shareholders, the Uncertain Mist and the Fallen Mother Goddess, it simply couldn't stop expanding.

He now balances the various forces within him—corruption and madness—through the power of balance, but whether it is the Mother Goddess...

Whether it's a fog or an unpredictable mist, it just keeps penetrating, and whenever there's a gap, it will try to lent it its power. Its overall capacity to withstand such things has a limit.

They're not even as good as the Ancient Gods. The Ancient Gods are just crazy, but their foundation is stable.

Snow... can't be truly insane like the ancient gods. Times have changed. Once He shows a clear tendency to lose control of His actions, His ability to overturn the table will be greatly reduced, and the six gods can immediately reach a consensus again to take down the time bomb together.

An Elf King who can control himself, and who, when pushed to the limit, can grab someone and beat them up, leaving a mess and benefiting others, seems more threatening than an Elf King who can't control himself. However, in reality, if all six gods are injured, he can be killed and the spoils divided. He's much more difficult to mess with.

Whoever goes crazy first and exposes obvious problems is eliminated; this has become an unwritten rule of the game.

"So what do you plan to do?"

Saratas asked with interest. In fact, He already knew that Snow's decision would only be to mess things up. Only by creating chaos would there be a chance to obtain clues about other Sequence 1s.

"I'll give them a maximum of another hundred years."

"If they insist on covering it up completely and not giving them any chance, then they can only welcome Solomon back in his full glory."

Snow sighed. The thought of secretly preparing to assist the Black Emperor's resurrection from this moment on made him somewhat...

Melancholy.

Solomon was, after all, a rival of His, but now, He was actually secretly using His authority and power to promote Solomon's resurrection, which was truly outrageous.

But this isn't Snow's fault.

Who made him inherit the title of the Elf King, thus becoming an existence that other great beings both hate and fear?

They preferred to cover up the Sequence 1 characteristic of the Judge's Path, as if it did not exist at all.

That makes it completely unplayable.

How can we play like this?

He doesn't know who has the special ability, so he keeps an eye on it or causes trouble.

He can change, He can form alliances, He can find a way.

But if we just keep covering it up, there's no way to change things. If this united empire isn't working, we should just dismantle it.

"You better not force me to create a Black Emperor and a Blood Emperor who are on the same side."

Snow remained silent, but at that moment he thought of the Fallen God and the imaginary angel Adam. It wasn't just Him who was anxious and needed change. Perhaps He didn't need to do much; He only needed to give a slight push, and the Fallen God and Adam would naturally reshape the six gods into powerful enemies.

He met with the "Goddess of Beauty" Olnia, who currently leads the vampires, and the Queen of Calamity, who currently governs the elves. These two also appeared before the "Elf King" very quickly.

"Have you thought of anything?"

When "Queen of Calamity" Goshinam saw "Goddess of Beauty" Olnia who had come with her, she knew that the Elf King might have some ideas.

"Your Majesty, the frequency of blood moons has been increasing recently, and it has begun to affect some vampires."

"Goddess of Beauty" Olnia spoke first, her voice tinged with concern.

Because the Elf King uses the Blood Moon to divert madness, and the Moon's authority inherently possesses the ability to tame, and vampires are the most deeply affected by the Moon, many vampires have recently been affected.

It's not the kind of thing that causes too many vampire deaths.

The Elf King did not target the vampires, and even used his authority as the Judge to exempt them from the negative effects of the Blood Moon. Of course, not many of his members would go insane or lose control as a result.

But it's precisely this special treatment from the moon that's made some vampires arrogant.
