Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 282 Fate Revisited

Azik seems to feel guilty about the war, but according to the information Klein now has, it was a higher-level game between true gods, and the fault does not lie with Him.

"What is this ritual?" Klein asked, trying to distract Mr. Azik and offer some comfort.

"The 'Red Priest's' path to godhood," Azik's icy expression softened slightly, "which is the true godhood of the 'Hunter' path."

Klein felt his heart was about to give way. The information he had learned today was truly explosive, and he was absolutely certain that he could live up to his status as "Mr. Fool" in the future.

"Do you know about the Four Emperors?" Azik glanced at his younger self, then looked away, his expression softening.

He looked at Klein as if he had returned to the University of Tingen and was discussing history with his students.

"The 'Black Emperor' and 'Hidden Emperor' of the Solomon Empire, the 'Night Emperor' of the Terensost Empire, and your father, the 'Underworld Emperor'." Klein was quite comfortable with this atmosphere of discussing history.

"Actually, there is another one, the 'Blood Emperor,' that's Him." Azik pointed to the ancient city.

The true god "Blood Emperor" of the "Hunter" path?!

"There is no record of it in history, nor is there any such church or secret organization," Klein thought for a moment and answered honestly.

"Because He was the shortest-lived true god in history, killed by the 'Hidden Emperor' on this very day." Azik smiled slightly. The other side had won the war, but lost everything.

Klein was astonished. Following the direction Azik was pointing, he saw only a turbulent flow of information suspended high in the sky.

It was obvious that it wasn't something he could see.

However, driven by a sliver of hope, Klein still stared wide-eyed, trying to glean something from the turbulent flow of information.

"This is the power of the 'Hidden Emperor.' He intercepted that war in the form of information, and without understanding the relevant information, it is impossible to interpret it..."

Mr. Azik couldn't help but laugh at Klein's behavior and wanted to give Klein some education, at least so that he could see something.

But soon, Azik Eggers' eyes changed, because there really was a stream of information reflected in Klein's pupils, radiating a kind of sharpness that even Azik Eggers found alarming.

"No wonder he was chosen by Bishop Truman." Mr. Azik chuckled softly, no longer paying attention to Klein. Back then, He wasn't even qualified to see this battle, but the information image now gave Him that possibility.

This is a war of the true gods, a war in which even angels are not qualified to observe. Yet now it has been recorded by the "Hidden Emperor," and because of the "Hidden Emperor's" authority, that knowledge is also correct and useful.

At this very moment, something terrifying resurfaced in Klein's mind.

His body felt frozen, as if he had been transported back to the terrifying scene of peeking into the secrets of the mutated Sun Emblem.

It was a spear of destiny, gleaming with a sharp light, that pierced through the boundaries of space and time with unimaginable power, nailing a certain red figure firmly to the altar!

Does such pure attack still exist in this world?

Klein is also a Sequence 7 with dual pathways, and he has his own understanding of extraordinary powers. These powers are more about controlling and utilizing certain rules, and rarely have this kind of ultimate purity.

But this spear of fate, which had once pierced an angel of the "Sun" path and now pierced a true god, gave Klein a sense of purity.

When purity reaches its extreme, even gods can be pierced and nailed.

Through his understanding of this spear of fate, Klein began to see other things within that chaotic flow of information.

For example, the blood-red figure that had been pierced—Klein already understood that this was the true god, the "Blood Emperor," who had only existed for one day.

This power is truly terrifying… Klein exclaimed. Even the battles of gods can be copied down, and all one needs to do is acquire the relevant knowledge to watch them.

However, due to his limited knowledge of occultism, Klein could only see so much that he couldn't even see the "Hidden Emperor" who had truly hurled the spear of fate.

"But... wasn't the Spear of Destiny supposed to belong to the 'Supreme Dream'? How did it end up in the hands of this 'Hidden Emperor' in the Fourth Era?"

Klein also had some understanding of this "Hidden Emperor." He was the deity worshipped by the "Morse Ascetic Order," one of the largest secret societies, and was known as the "Hidden Sage" or "Hermit." He was a deity symbolizing knowledge.

"It's a pity we can't see it clearly, otherwise we might have been able to glean some knowledge about the 'Secret Seeker's' methods."

In fact, although Klein's view of the blood-red figure was not very clear, he had grasped a lot of very advanced knowledge, such as "Sequence Zero", "Red Priest", and "Ascension Ritual".

"What did you see?" Mr. Azik asked curiously.

"...The Spear of Destiny!" Klein hesitated for a moment before finally saying it.

"You actually saw it?" Azik paused slightly, then smiled as if he had just remembered something. "You were also a Night Watcher, so you should be quite familiar with the sealed artifact system, right?"

Klein nodded slightly, then looked at Mr. Azik, indicating that he had thought of something.

Azik stopped trying to stall Klein and said directly, "The Spear of Destiny is numbered '0-01' in the sequence of sealed artifacts agreed upon by the various churches; it is the beginning of the sealed artifacts."

Klein actually felt a sense of entitlement about it.

"The Church? Doesn't the 'Hidden Emperor' not have a Church?" Klein asked instinctively.

"No, the Spear of Destiny has always been kept in the Church of the Eternal Sun."

Klein paused abruptly, his spirituality fluctuating, but in the next instant, he returned to normal.

"The Spear of Destiny is related to the 'Supreme Dream,' and may even have been created by Him."

"And wasn't the Spear of Fate the one that killed another angel of the 'Sun'? Or at least an angel! But it's from the Church of the 'Eternal Sun'?"

"And the spear of fate fell into the hands of the 'Hidden Emperor,' killing the 'Blood Emperor'..."

Klein had a gut feeling that there must be some secret hidden in this, and the Spear of Destiny was the thread that connected everything.

"What a horrific history..." Klein exclaimed sincerely.

"Yes, that's why I chose to become a history lecturer. I'm also very interested in the past buried under the dust of history, and I hope you can maintain that curiosity as well." Azik and Klein shared the same sentiment.

The two began to cross the battlefield and head towards the ancient city.

However, Azik Eggers' expression quickly changed. He stood still, looking at the city, and fell silent.

"Where did that altar go?!"
