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

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

Klein pointed to an airship overhead and said in a cold tone.

The middle-aged man opposite him remained silent, offering neither an answer nor any response.

In fact, Klein did nothing to the airships that had crashed earlier; their crashes were entirely due to their own fault.

Just as Ince Zangwell manipulated coincidences to achieve his goals, Klein merely borrowed a miracle in a small way.

That's why those airships miraculously self-destructed and miraculously crashed into another airship next to them.

In a sense, this is also a coincidence.

But this time, the miracle didn't seem to happen.

boom!

The airship overhead made a soft sound and tilted violently, but fortunately it eventually managed to stabilize itself.

Clearly, it wasn't that the miracle didn't happen, but rather that someone prevented it from happening.

This person can only be Inszangwell!

Klein uses miracles to create coincidences, while Ince Zangwell uses coincidences to create miracles.

Match coincidence with coincidence, miracle with miracle.

The outcome is still uncertain.

Klein chuckled, a laugh that sounded particularly grating to the middle-aged man.

"It seems that you are truly determined to oppose the Fussac Empire."

The middle-aged man finally made a move, staring coldly at Klein.

At the same time, all the airship formations in the sky suddenly changed direction and aimed their cannons and machine guns at Klein from all directions!

That's an extraordinary ability belonging to the Red Priest pathway Sequence 3 'War Bishop'!

They are able to connect with their comrades on a spiritual level, forming a unified whole.

In other words, the "War Bishop" can gather their power and also transfer his own power to them.

Even if the pilots on the airship are just ordinary people, with the help of the War Bishop's extraordinary abilities, they can be considered part of the War Bishop to some extent, or even part of the 'weather sorcerers'!

And those cannonballs, imbued with extraordinary power, are enough to kill extraordinary beings of the same level!

Bang bang bang bang!

The airship's cannons and machine guns simultaneously spewed out tongues of fire, the intense flames even dimming the sky. Countless large-caliber bullets and shells formed an impenetrable metal net, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced towards Klein.

Klein looked at the oncoming metal storm, neither dodging nor avoiding it, but simply chuckled.

The next moment, his true form swiftly burrowed into the historical pores within the gray fog and vanished.

For those extraordinary individuals who follow the path of divination.

In terms of direct combat effectiveness, they are not among the top in any way.

But when it comes to the ability to be 'unpredictable' and 'evasive', almost no one can surpass him!

Even those extraordinary individuals who are thieves or apprentices can only be "compared" to those who are extraordinary individuals who are diviners.

boom!

The artillery fire completely engulfed the spot where Klein had been standing, the forest and trees were completely destroyed, and the once flat ground nearby was plowed up, leaving no flat land in sight, with craters left by shells everywhere.

When the smoke cleared, Klein's figure appeared not far away.

Instead of retaliating, he reached out his right hand and grabbed at the air in front of him.

After five repetitions, Klein's arm muscles suddenly tensed, as if he were pulling something extremely heavy.

As he retracted his right hand, a figure was quickly outlined.

The figure had bronze skin, a medium build, black hair, brown eyes, and soft features. There was a very thin black mole below his right ear. It was Azik Aiger.

Even though Mr. Azik has lost his memory, he is still a Sequence 2 angel, the former "Death Archon"!

Klein didn't look at her closely. He reached out again and grabbed at the air. A woman dressed in an elaborate, gorgeous, and gloomy black dress was slowly outlined.

She had no head, but there was a clean cut at her neck, and her drooping hands held four identical heads with blond hair and red eyes.

It was Renette Tinicol, Sequence 2, an ancient evil!

The moment these two appeared, the middle-aged man's expression became even more gloomy.

For the Red Priest pathway, or for any pathway of Beyonders, high-sequence Beyonders of the Diviner pathway are the most hated! Even a regular Sequence 3 'Ancient Scholar' is troublesome enough for an angel.

Although the opponent does not have the ability to defeat the angel head-on, they are disgusting enough.

He can't beat you, but he can run, and you'll have a hard time catching him.

The person before them was not only an "Ancient Scholar," but also a "Miracle Master" of Sequence 2.

In other words, fighting with him would only make things worse!

Klein did nothing about this and reached out for the third time, grabbing into the void.

This time, he seemed to have held nothing back, but in reality, he had summoned himself from ten seconds ago, his hidden self!

Having done all this, Klein's main body swiftly entered the historical rift in the gray fog.

Within his body, his consciousness suddenly came alive and became extremely agile.

Throughout his journey, Klein has come to deeply understand one truth—

I can survive!

Klein, now a miracle worker, was acutely aware of just how powerful the life-saving abilities of the fortune teller's path truly were.

If Zarathustra hadn't been greedy and wanted to seize the Fool's uniqueness, and had instead deliberately delivered himself to Ember, he might not have been able to find him, even Ember might not have been able to.

Therefore, Klein learned a profound lesson from Zarathustra and never forgot that survival is the strongest extraordinary ability of the Diviner's path!

Even if all the historical projections he summoned are destroyed, it doesn't matter. After all, they are just historical projections. If they die, they die. It won't affect the main body.

In this situation, he is already in an invincible position!

What can the other side use to fight him?

of course.

Klein can summon far more than just these two historical projections, and the reason he chose to summon Mr. Azik and Miss Messenger was firstly because they had a closer relationship with him and were easier to summon.

To summon images from the gaps in history, three conditions must be met.

First, the more detailed and accurate one's understanding of the relevant history and events, the greater the probability of success and the longer it can be maintained.

Secondly, the lower the target's rank, the greater the probability of success and the longer the effect lasts. Conversely, when the target is a person or thing of higher rank, even if it is barely successful, the final projection will only contain a portion of the power and traits, and will not be the complete form.

Most importantly, the closer the goal is to oneself, the higher the probability of success will be, and the longer it can be maintained!

In other words, if an ancient scholar wants to summon images of great figures from the gaps in history, it is best to establish a sufficiently friendly relationship with them and maintain it for a long time.

Mr. Azik and Miss Messenger perfectly fit both of these criteria.

Of all the angels Klein had ever met, these two were the closest to him, and he was the most familiar with them.

The decision to summon them was made considering both the success rate and the extent of power loss.

They are angels, and Klein himself is an angel.

Therefore, the two historical projections he summoned would not lose too much power, and even if they were not as powerful as the original body, they would not be far off.

Even though they are unable to exert their full strength due to a lack of self-awareness, the two of them together are enough to restrain the angel in front of them!

With a detached gaze and an icy expression, Mr. Azik surveyed the area before his body suddenly swelled, transforming into a giant serpent that blotted out the sky.

This giant serpent was both illusory and real, seemingly composed of things incomprehensible to humans. Its entire body was covered with enormous, dark green scales, from which pure white feathers grew. Each feather and each scale had strange symbols of different shapes. Even just seeing them would cause flesh to rot and turn people into living corpses.

This is the feathered serpent god from the mythology of the Southern Continent. Pale flames burn in his eye sockets, and a pair of exaggerated and thick wings spread out behind him.

Amidst the howling wind, the feathered serpent coiled in mid-air stretched its upper body forward, opened its mouth, and unleashed a pale flame large enough to completely engulf the airship force in front of it.

Even if it's just a historical projection, a Sequence 2 angel is definitely not comparable to a mortal!

At that moment, a large number of ice crystals, howling winds, and thin fog appeared simultaneously between the giant serpent and the airship fleet.

Ice crystals condensed into a floating, crystalline wall, blocking the pale flames. Even though the pale flames melted a large amount of the ice crystals themselves, more ice crystals quickly filled the gaps, making it impossible for the pale flames to break through even an inch!

A fierce wind howled past the perimeter, gradually dispersing the pale flames that were almost tangible.

Under the cover of the thin, dense fog, Fussack's airship force had already begun to turn and withdraw.

Even with the power of the 'War Bishops', and even though they are now essentially part of the 'Weather Wizards', mortals are still mortals. In this war of angels, they will find it difficult to play their due role and will instead be used as weaknesses to be defeated one by one!

The weatherman from the Fusak Empire understood that, due to the interference of this uninvited guest, Klein, their air raid was doomed to fail.

The only thing we can do now is to preserve this airship force as much as possible.

Otherwise, if the airship force suffers heavy losses, then it will be the turn of the Kingdom of Rune's airship force to bomb Saint Milon.

If such a thing were to actually happen, the Fusak Empire couldn't possibly expect an angel from Saint Milon to step forward and help them fend off the airship forces of the Kingdom of Rune because of 'personal grudges,' could it?

"Trying to run away?"

Klein's gaze sharpened as he looked at the historical projection.

He used to be just a low-sequence Beyonder, utterly helpless against Ince Zangwill. But now, he's a Sequence 2 Miracle Worker, while Ince Zangwill is at best a Sequence 3!

If Ince Zangwill can escape right under his nose, then his Sequence 2 advancement was a complete waste!

Just as Klein was about to make a move, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that one of Fursac's airships had broken away from the unit and was flying in the opposite direction.

Klein immediately realized that this was a diversionary tactic by the Fussacks!

They planned to lure Klein away with an airship, thus saving the entire airship force.

An airship could not lure Klein away unless Ince Zangwell was on board!

Klein's expression shifted, and he took out a gold coin from the historical projection; he wanted to perform a divination.

-

On Blue Mountain Island, where the generous city of Bayam is located.

In what was once a desolate jungle, a large clearing has been cleared to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The open space was piled high with temporary tents that had already been erected, and many hired workers were busy moving various building materials.

The man directing the workers was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a university professor. Such an elegant scholar should be teaching students at a university, but instead, he was directing workers in the scorching sun in the wilderness.

But there was no complaint on his face; on the contrary, he worked with great enthusiasm.

Not far from the open space, there is a natural harbor where several large ships, fully loaded with supplies, are docked.

Just then, the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at the untouched primeval jungle on his right.

A familiar figure emerged from among them, followed by several unusually tall humans.

Verdu hurried forward and respectfully greeted them:

"Ancestors."

"Well done."

Bethel Abraham smiled and offered a word of encouragement, then looked up and explained to Colin Iliad, the chief of Silver City, who was standing beside him:

"This is your new home, but you'll have to make do for now; you'll have to live in tents until the house is built."

Colin shook his head, looked up at the blazing sun in the sky, and said:

"No, it's already very good."

They had experienced far worse conditions; compared to the land of the forsaken gods, this world before them was simply paradise!

Colin lowered his head slightly and recited with heartfelt devotion:

"Praise the 'Fool'."

"chief,"

Antilna, a female member of the exploration team, couldn't help but ask:

"When can we go back and tell the others this good news?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in Silver City turned their gazes toward Colin.

Although they have arrived in the world of light promised by the gods, their families are still in Silver City.

Moreover, if it's too long before they go back...

Their families also worry that something might have happened to them.

Bethel Abraham said with a smile:

"You may return at any time, as long as you pray to Mr. Fool and express your wishes."

"Of course, you'll need to wait a while."

"Mr. Fool is busy with something else right now."

Derrick asked instinctively:

"What is it?"

"war."

Bethel Abraham smiled and answered, but before the people of Silver City could reply, Bethel continued:

"Verdu, you are in charge of settling these people."

"Yes, ancestor," Verdu replied respectfully.

The next moment, Bethel Abraham's figure disappeared silently from everyone's sight.

Colin was not surprised by this; an angel must have its own responsibilities and cannot follow them all the time.

Verdu asked in Giant's Tongue:

"What's your name?"

The chief smiled kindly.

"Colin Iliad, just call me Colin."

Verdu smiled in return:

"Alright, Mr. Colin, let me give you a brief introduction first."

"This is Blue Mountain Island. The Abraham family has bought this land, and you can do whatever you want here. Also, it's very close to Bayam, but you'd better not go there for the time being."

"War has broken out between Rune and Fursac, and you could easily be arrested as Fursac spies."
