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

High-sequence extraordinary individuals on the visionary path can write reality and artificially create coincidences.

This was something Klein already knew.

At that time, he was unaware of exactly which sequence of the high sequence possessed the ability to 'write reality'.

But now that Klein has a good understanding of the Dreamer pathway, he knows very well that not all Dreamer-type Extraordinaries have the ability to create 'coincidences'; only Sequence 1 'Writers' have the ability to write reality.

Regardless of the route taken, there are exactly three copies of the extraordinary properties of Sequence 1!

In other words, there can only be a maximum of three 'writers'.

Adam is that author, and simultaneously possesses the unique characteristics of both Series 1 and the visionary path.

There is only one Sequence 1 Extraordinary Attribute that has been lost to the outside world, which is the sealed item '0-08'!

There are only two possibilities for the Fussac Empire to create coincidences: either Adam or Ince Zangwill, who possesses the sealed artifact '0-08'!

Adam's ritual for ascending to Sequence 0 was to make the development of the times conform to his own expectations, and then, at a key juncture, within the prescribed trend of the times, consume a magic potion.

Therefore, this war can be said to have been orchestrated by Adam, and the Twilight Hermits, which He founded, also played an important role in it.

Furthermore, considering that both Emperor Roselle and George III were members of the Twilight Hermits, it is highly unlikely that the emperor of the Fussac Empire was not a member of the Twilight Hermits. Therefore, it is almost certain that this war will develop in the direction Adam predicted.

Unless the gods intervene personally.

But even if the gods themselves intervened, all of this was probably within Adam's calculations.

The goddess of night and the god of war are hostile to each other, as are the god of knowledge and wisdom, the lord of storms, and the eternal sun. The earth goddess leans towards the god of war, while the god of steam and machinery is wavering. However, no matter how things develop, it is highly likely that the situation will remain at a relatively stalemate for a long time, ensuring that no god can change the course of the war in a short period of time with unparalleled strength.

From this perspective, it makes perfect sense that Adam helped the Fussac Empire create a coincidence, as it perfectly aligned with Adam's interests.

But Klein doesn't think so!

What Adam needed was the right momentum, and war was that momentum!

As for who started this war and how it would develop, Adam didn't care at all!

Therefore, although he could use the influence of the Twilight Hermits to instigate war among the high-ranking officials of the Fusak Empire, it did not mean that he would personally intervene.

Adam only needed war, and that goal has already been achieved.

Interfering too much in those minor details not only does not benefit Adam, but will also increase many risks for Him.

Because although Adam was powerful, he was far from being invincible.

Even the relationship between Adam and the Seven Gods was far from harmonious; countless eyes were watching Adam from the shadows.

If Adam were to manipulate this war recklessly, He would eventually expose His true position.

Not only would it attract the pursuit of those powerful beings, but it would also disrupt his entire plan, a situation that Adam did not want to see.

Therefore, for Adam, there is nothing He needs to do now; He only needs to wait quietly for the right opportunity.

Adam might intervene at crucial moments to help the losing side stabilize the situation so that the war can proceed better, but He would never take a clear stand on either side from the very beginning of the war.

The current airstrike on Backlund sounds terrifying.

However, the Fussac Empire couldn't possibly conquer Backlund with just one air raid, much less force the Kingdom of Rune to surrender with a single attack. Their main objective was to weaken the morale of the Kingdom of Rune by bombing the capital, and even that wasn't guaranteed to succeed.

Even assuming the air raid is a resounding success, whether it achieves its goal of demoralizing the Kingdom of Rune will be another matter entirely. While the Kingdom of Rune might indeed suffer a significant drop in morale due to the bombing of its capital, it could also become even more valiant in resisting the invasion of the Fusak Empire.

From any perspective, Adam had no reason to create a coincidence for the Fursac Empire's airship force.

Then, the answer is obvious!

"Ince Zangwell".

Klein's gaze suddenly turned deep and unfathomable.

If it wasn't a "coincidence" created by Adam, then only Ince Zangwill, who holds the power of "0-08", has the ability to do all this!

Although this is just speculation, it would be easy to prove it.

Klein pulled a gold coin from a crack in history, tossed it into the air, and muttered:

"Ince Zangwell is in the Fursak airship unit."

铮

The gold coin bounced up and fell back down, landing headfirst in Klein's palm.

This means yes!

Ince Zangwell is inside one of the airships above Klein's head!

This is not surprising. Although Ince Zangwill possesses '0-08' and has the ability to rewrite reality, he is not Adam. His ability cannot cover the entire world; a single city is his limit.

Therefore, if Ince Zangwell wants to help the Fursak Empire's airship force create enough "coincidences," he must stay on the airship at all times and keep in sync with the airship force's location!

Klein watched the airship force getting closer and closer in the sky and suddenly burst out laughing.

The "coincidence" created by Ince Zangwell was so ingenious that even if the military and the three major churches noticed the anomaly, they would only think that the person in charge of air defense was negligent in his duties, or that he was simply bribed by the Fussac Empire, which is why the Fussac Empire's airship force was allowed to advance unimpeded, without realizing that it was all just a "coincidence".

If Klein hadn't been tricked by '0-08' so many times that his sensitivity to 'coincidence' had reached a point akin to a frightened bird, he probably wouldn't have noticed this.

but.

Is it that he was lucky, or that Ince Zangwell was unlucky?

From Tingen's orchestrated descent of the evil god to the Great Smog event in Backlund, and now this airship attack, each incident was orchestrated by Ince Zangwill, and each time Klein happened to be present. It's as if fate decreed that Klein would carry out his revenge!

-

A large and well-organized force of Fussack airships cut in from the north and arrived over the metropolis.

As soon as they approached, the Cathedral of the Holy Wind and other places seemed to be prepared. The howling wind suddenly intensified, transforming into one after another giant bluish-black blade, whistling towards the target, just like cannonballs fired into the air.

Just as these giant blades were about to strike the airship formation's airbags, an invisible defense appeared, blocking all the attacks.

Under the ferocious attack, the transparent 'wall' swayed precariously, but ultimately held on. At the same time, the airship's cannons, machine guns, and projectile launchers opened one after another, aiming downwards.

boom!

As the hurricane formed around the Cathedral of the Holy Wind, explosive sounds echoed in all directions.

In such a terrifying storm, the airships were like ships sailing on the sea, rising and falling in the mountain-like waves, about to be thrown far away.

Just then, on the lead airship, a flash of light, like blood and rust mingling, enveloped all its companions, connecting them one by one.

Suddenly, Fussack's airship fleet stabilized in the hurricane, no longer resembling tiny vessels in giant waves.

The higher levels of power in the 'Red Priest' path belong to war, and war is the art of gathering the masses!

This is the authority of the 'War Bishop'!

The military and various religious sects have made some preparations, but not many.

Once the offensive launched by the Holy Wind Cathedral failed, the city's air defenses were suddenly left in a vacuum.

Backlund was like a little girl lying naked on the ground, letting the airship force drop bomb after bomb on her.

Although the presence of hurricanes made the bombs' landing points less precise, this did not render them ineffective.

Boom! Boom!

Amidst the resounding explosions, sparks flashed from the corresponding cannons on the airships, fully displaying the joy of the god of war.

The airship fleet did not attempt to cross Backlund; upon entering the North District, it immediately turned towards the West District, the political center of the Kingdom of Rune.

The Fusak people knew very well that the Runes were just slow to react, not that they were truly helpless against them.

If they remain in the northern district and wait for the Runes to realize what's happening, their greatly enhanced air defenses will be enough to completely destroy Fusak's airship force. Therefore, they must maximize their gains before the Runes can react!

The defenses of the Cathedral of Holy Wind were rendered ineffective, leaving them powerless to intercept the attack and forced to watch helplessly as Fussack's airship force turned around.

The people below the airship, watching the airship wreaking havoc in the sky above, couldn't help but feel despair.

Even in despair, there will always be someone hoping for a miracle.

Hopefully someone can stop those Fusaks.

At that moment, in Fussack's airship force, a front-line airship, several tens of meters long, suddenly expanded violently!

boom!

Amidst the deafening explosions that echoed throughout Backlund, the airship transformed into a massive, expanding fireball, radiating light and heat like a second sun, before finally plummeting from the sky.

And this is just the beginning.

boom!

Another airship exploded without warning, and the rising fireball coincidentally collided with another adjacent airship. Amidst the violent explosion, the airship's gasbag was pierced through by the fireball formed by friendly forces. The two airships, now transformed into fireballs, collided once again with another airship that was turning to avoid a collision!

Just as the third airship was about to collide with them, a layer of crystalline and solid frost quickly condensed on the surface of the two fireballs.

The low temperature extinguished the flames and caused the two wrecked airships to plummet to the ground.

On the outskirts of the northern district, a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of the Fussac Empire quietly appeared in front of Klein, his expression extremely cold, and he said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency, you have gone too far."

Klein sized up the brown-haired, gray-eyed, over two-and-a-half-meter-tall Fussac man and asked in return:

"Is that too much?"

The middle-aged man said coldly:

"An angel can easily destroy Fursack's airship force, but it can also wipe out a city in an instant. Or do you think we can't do something like that?"

Klein immediately looked enlightened.

indeed.

Let alone angels, even a demigod could easily destroy a mortal army.

An angel's intervention could completely reverse the outcome of a war in an instant.

Demigods are one thing, but angels are like the 'atomic bomb' of Klein's previous life.

If one side possesses atomic bombs, it can carry out nuclear deterrence and blackmail against the other side without any risk.

However, if both sides possess atomic bombs, then the risk of mutual destruction due to dropping atomic bombs on each other must be considered.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, angels on both sides will exercise restraint and will not participate in wars involving those below the angel level.

Let mortals be mortals, and let angels be angels.

The angels of the Kingdom of Rune can destroy an entire airship force in an instant, and the angels of the Fusak Empire can retaliate in kind, destroying the entire Backlund in an instant.

Klein's move was clearly against the rules.

however--

Klein chuckled softly and said:

"You seem to have misunderstood something. What I did had nothing to do with national sentiment; it was simply a matter of personal grudges."

The middle-aged man's expression darkened, and he said in a deep voice:

"Whose follower are you?"

"Night, or storm?"

Klein grinned, revealing a half-smile:

"I believe in 'fools'."

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly; this was exactly the situation he feared most!

The premise for the two angels to restrain each other is that they belong to the Kingdom of Rune and the Empire of Fusak, respectively.

But if the angel in front of you is from a third-party force, they don't care whether you retaliate in kind—I destroy your airship force, you destroy Backlund, damaging the interests of the Kingdom of Rune and the Empire of Fusak, what does that have to do with me?

Normally, a "wild" angel would not provoke any powerful force without a reason.

Unless He desires to be hunted down by a coalition of angels from other factions.

But now, the other party has made it very clear—this is just a simple personal grudge!

The middle-aged man's face was so dark it seemed to drip water, and he said in a deep voice:

"I don't know you at all!"

Klein was still smiling.

"I never said it was a personal grudge against you."

"That's dealing with the Fussac Empire, Your Excellency. You should think this through carefully."

"It's not the Fussac Empire either."

"Who is that?"

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, and he was almost certain that the other party was deliberately causing trouble!

Klein gazed at a certain airship in the sky and slowly uttered a name:

"Ince Zangwell".

The middle-aged man remained silent, but a subtle change occurred in his eyes. Klein took it all in and said calmly:

"Hand him over to me, and I can leave immediately."

The middle-aged man's expression darkened, and he vehemently denied it:

"I don't have the person you're looking for here."

Klein couldn't help but laugh out loud. He wasn't surprised at all by the answer, and he had never expected the other party to compromise.

Rather, this is exactly the answer he wanted!
