Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 307 Creating God

Inside the Giants' Court, outside the Giants' Residence.

A figure appeared silently before Yu Jin, bathed in the orange glow of the twilight.

He was a male with gentle features and a beautiful face. He wore a simple and plain linen robe and had long silver hair. He was Urolius, the 'Angel of Fate' who served the true creator!

He gazed calmly at the embers, remaining silent for a long time.

An ordinary person might think He was being provocative.

But Ember knew very well that Ouroboros was just a bit "introverted" and not good at communicating with others.

Ember tossed the first 'Blasphemy Tablet' directly at Urelius, saying calmly:

"When I need to go to the Chaos Sea, I will go to Him myself."

Ulorus nodded with a slightly indifferent expression. When he held the first 'Blasphemy Tablet' in his hand, he seemed to want to say something. But after thinking about it, he felt it was unnecessary. Since the deal was already done, there was no need for any more pleasantries.

Thinking this, beams of light formed illusory, layered, pure wings that unfurled behind Him. When those pure wings were fully extended, almost obscuring the dome of the hall, His figure quietly vanished.

Ember watched all of this calmly, and after a long while, he suddenly clicked his tongue.

None of the eight archangel kings under the command of the "Ancient Sun God" are normal humans.

The dark angel is a product of one of His ribs and a part of His personality, and cannot be considered an independent and complete individual.

The Cherubim are traitors; they originally defected from the ranks of the Imaginary Dragon.

Of the remaining six angel kings, the wind angels and the pure white angels rebelled along with the cherubim, while Adam and Amun, as sons of the ancient sun god, each had their own quirks.

While the Red Angel Medici and the Archangel of Fate Urelius remained loyal, they were also clearly not quite right in the head.

The former, influenced by the means of communication, is constantly trying to provoke others.

In stark contrast to Medici, Ulorus was a complete autistic child in terms of personality.

Fortunately, this didn't affect the embers much, since the real creator was the one who suffered, not him.

Just then, Grosser walked slowly into the hall with heavy steps and silently handed the greatsword back to Ember.

Ember didn't reach out to take it, but waved his hand and said:

Consider it a gift for you.

Grosser did not refuse, and slowly lowered his grip on the Storm Ruler's arm, whispering:

"Thanks."

Seeing that Grosser seemed a little down, Ember asked:

"Where are you planning to go next? The Fussac Empire?"

After a long silence, Grosser hesitated before speaking:

"I don't know. I want to go find my people. But I am a guardian; I should protect the Giants' Court..."

He wouldn't stay here indefinitely, because there were no longer any living giants here, but the Giant Queen Omibella and the Dawn God Bardhel were still alive. They were now the orthodox deities of the Northern Continent, one a Mother Goddess of the Earth, and the other a God of War.

With the protection of two gods, the giant race might not be as powerful as in the Twin Ages, but it wouldn't be wiped out either. Giants likely resided in both the Fussac Empire in the north and the Feneport Kingdom in the south.

Grosser wants to find his people, so he will set off for the Fussac Empire.

But the sudden "invasion" of the God of Honor, Bradel, destroyed a large number of buildings in the Giants' Court, which made Grosser hesitate, wondering whether to stay and protect this place, to protect his former home.

Grosser was struggling with his decision when he suddenly noticed a pile of ashes in Ember's hand and couldn't help but ask:

"What are you doing?"

"bonfire."

Ember offered a brief explanation, and under Grosser's puzzled gaze, placed the collected ashes in the center of the hall—

These ashes came from the guardians of the Giants' Court, namely the two Silver Knights who guarded the gate, and Milgongen the Lightslayer.

As for Bradel, the "God of Honor," he had been dead for a long time, and his flesh and blood had decayed, rendering him unusable.

They are not immortal, but their bodies, having been burned by the "First Flame," have acquired similar properties. Therefore, their ashes can also be used to build campfires.

Grosser, however, was puzzled by this; he had only seen Ember pile the ashes together.

He then took out a spiral longsword and inserted it into the center of the ashes.

Snapped!

With a crackling sound, flames ignited from the ashes, radiating a bright light.

After doing all this, Ember suddenly tossed a white shard to Grosser.

Grosser looked bewildered; he could tell it was a piece of white bone that had been burned to ashes.

But he still didn't understand why it was useful.

Ember explained:

"Return to the bone fragment, which possesses the power of fire and is connected to this campfire."

"The advantage is that it can be used multiple times, the disadvantage is that it can only be connected to one campfire."

"No matter where you are, you can return to this campfire anytime you use this bone fragment."

Grosser scratched his head. He could roughly understand Ember's thoughts, but he still asked with some confusion:

"How do I get out of here?"

Even if he could return to the Giants' Court at any time, how would he travel from the Giants' Court to the Northern Continent?

"It's not difficult."

Ember's tone was incredibly calm, but Grosser remained bewildered.

He himself found it difficult, so why would you find it easy?

What Grosser didn't know was that Ember, who had already seen the first "Blasphemy Tablet," knew the sequence of all pathways and potion recipes, and also understood the extraordinary abilities these pathways possessed—such as spirit travel.

Spirit travel is not an extraordinary ability unique to the "Gate" pathway; many other pathways also possess the ability to travel to the spirit world, but these pathways mostly have various limitations and are far less convenient than the "Gate" pathway.

Because the 'Gate' pathway already possesses the ability to travel through the spirit world at Sequence 5, and even at Sequence 6, it can be used ahead of time by 'recording' the spirit world travel.

In contrast, other methods require reaching at least a high sequence to use spirit realm travel.

For example, in the "Death God" pathway, one can only acquire a certain ability to travel between spirit realms at the Sequence 4 "Undead" level.

For example, the Fool's path allows the use of "Flame Leap," a technique similar to "Spirit Realm Travel," at Sequence 7 "Magician." However, it is merely a weakened version of Blink, achieved through the special abilities of the Spirit Realm. Unlike a true Blink, "Flame Leap" has significant limitations, requiring existing flames or ignitable materials.

If a mistake is made during the jump, the person will be burned by the high temperature of the flames, or even burned alive!

The Giant Path is even more unique; even those with Sequence 3 "Silver Knight" cannot use the Spirit World Travel.

Only angels of Sequence 2, "The Glory," can use similar abilities.

Grosser, which currently only has Sequence 3, obviously cannot do that.

Therefore, he must be promoted to sequence 2 first.

And Grosser had just recently obtained a Sequence 2 extraordinary property himself.

That extraordinary quality comes from the deceased "God of Honor," Bradel.

Ember looked up at Grosser and gave the order:

"Give me Bradel's extraordinary qualities."

Without much hesitation, Grosser handed a ball of brilliant light, like a miniature sun, to Ember.

The moment Ember received the miniature sun, a flame rose in his hand, completely enveloping the dazzling light.

Only then did the embers slowly explain:

"Sequence 2 of the Giant Path, 'Glory,' possesses the ability to travel through the spirit world."

"The land forsaken by the gods and the spirit realm of the northern continent are separated, and communication is only possible through the relics of the divine war."

"But the exit of the Divine War Ruins is in the Giants' Court. Once you leave here and enter the Divine War Ruins, you can go anywhere."

As he explained, Ember gestured for Grosser to lower his head and swallow the ball of light that had already been 'melted'.

-

Backlund, North District.

Wearing a half-high silk top hat, a double-breasted long dress, and gold-rimmed glasses, Klein, disguised as "Zhou Mingrui," got off the taxi on Pesfield Street and headed straight for the house at number 9.

He saw the maid open the door amidst the ringing of the doorbell.

She had long, wavy blonde hair and a beautiful face.

She asked very politely:

"Hello, sir, who are you looking for?"

Klein smiled and said:

"My name is George, and I'm here to see Mr. Soros."

"Ah, Mr. George."

The maid gasped in surprise and immediately bowed her head respectfully.

"Mr. Soros has mentioned you. Please come with me."

As the maid spoke, she stepped aside to let Klein into the room.

Then, led by the maid, Klein arrived at the living room on the first floor.

The living room of this house is elegantly furnished, with landscape oil paintings hanging on the walls and plaster sculptures, simple vases, and other decorative items on display.

The only problem is that these things are placed in a messy and disorganized manner, neither asymmetrical nor harmonious.

It is almost immediately recognizable as the style of the Solomon Empire during the Fourth Age.

Klein found it somewhat of a headache; he simply couldn't appreciate it.

Meanwhile, the comically dressed man sat in the center of the leather sofa, holding the latest Backlund Morning Post.

The maid said respectfully:

"Mr. Soros, Mr. George has come to visit you."

"George?"

Mobert Soros, using the alias Mobert Soros, raised an eyebrow, turned his head to look at the stranger who had entered, and suddenly smiled:

"Ah, George, you've come at the right time."

"Vivian, you may leave now."

Klein sat down on the sofa next to Mobert and asked:

"Where is Long Ze'er?"

Mobert shrugged, picked up the black tea on the table, and took a sip.

"You know he's still looking for someone. What brings you here?"

"You left your address with Ian, so I just stopped by to check it out."

Mobert raised an eyebrow slightly, completely confirming the identity of the person in front of him, and asked with a smile:

"Would you like to stay for lunch?"

"No need, I have other things to do."

Klein politely declined his invitation, but quickly changed the subject, speaking with a pointed tone:

How much did you pay to rent this house?

Mobert leaned back, resting his hands on the back of the sofa, and said with a half-smile:

"Rent? I bought it; it cost me 4400 gold pounds."

"4400 pounds?"

Klein's expression shifted slightly. Based on an annual sales-to-rent ratio of 1:20, the annual rent would be around £220.

His current public identity is "Dawn Dantes," a businessman from the South.

Given this status, staying in a hotel all the time is inappropriate.

Therefore, he had also considered renting a house in the North District.

The rent of £220 isn't unacceptable, but...

Klein asked, somewhat surprised:

Why did you buy a house on Pesfield Street?

9 Pesfield Street, that's a pretty good address—

The good thing is that it's less than 100 meters away from St. Samuel's Church in the North District!

There must be many people on night duty among the passersby, which is undoubtedly a guarantee of safety for ordinary people.

But for them, who want to hide their identities, this is actually a very dangerous signal.

Even if Mobert wanted to be closer to the ancestors of the Zoroaster family, was it really necessary to be this close?

Mobert asked with a smile:

"Can't it be because I'm a devout follower of the Church of the Night?"

Klein's expression was strange. "Are you sure you want to say that?"

Mobert shrugged:

"Okay, as long as it's for safety reasons."

"You know, our family, well, has some conflicts with another equally ancient family."

Klein's expression shifted slightly; he knew the other person was referring to "Amon".

Amon has been searching for that ancestor of the Zoroaster family, most likely because he covets the other's extraordinary characteristics.

After all, if Amon wants to become a god, he must collect three Sequence 1 extraordinary traits.

The Zoroaster family's angel, a Sequence 1, has an absolutely irreconcilable relationship with Amon; it's a matter of life and death.

Although Mobert was only Sequence 5, as a member of the Zoroaster family, he was also at risk of being targeted by Amon. For safety's sake, Mobert even changed his surname to Soros—incidentally, this identity was also provided by Miss Sharon.

Staying near the Church of St. Samuel would certainly bring him into the sights of the Church of the Night, and even subject him to surveillance by the Night Watchers. However, as long as he himself did not do anything to harm the Church of the Night, this surveillance would actually be a form of protection.

The fact that the Zoroaster family member chose to parasitize Leonard may well have been influenced by this consideration.

After all, even Amon wouldn't dare to attack the ancestor of the Zoroaster family in St. Samuel's Church.

Just then, the maid Vivian returned to the living room, placed a cup of black tea in front of Klein, and said softly:

"Mr. George, please enjoy your meal."

"Thanks."

Klein nodded slightly, watching the maid leave, then looked at Mobert beside him and said meaningfully:

"Does she know you bought a house in Backlund and hired such a beautiful maid?"

Mobert's expression immediately fell; he knew, of course, who this "she" referred to.

Mobert feigned composure and said:

"So what if I know? I didn't do anything."

"Besides, even if she did something, so what? Do you think I'd be afraid of her?!"

Klein looked at him with a half-smile, "Do you even believe what you're saying?"
