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

Above the gray fog, Klein's expression was somewhat subtle.

Because Rosell had just called, essentially saying, "You have so many angels, get me one," which left Klein somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Do I have many angels?"

To be fair, there are quite a lot.

Mr. Azik, Miss Messenger, Mr. "World", the Serpent of Fate, the Guardian Angel, and the Angel of Twilight—a total of six. Even a true god of Sequence 0 only has two or three angels at most; there is absolutely no "dream team" of this scale.

however.

Of these six angels, only one is actually usable!

That is the guardian angel, Mr. "Door".

The reason is simple: Mr. Azik himself doesn't know he's the Fool's angel, so it's not appropriate for him to give orders in the Fool's name. The same applies to Miss Messenger. If Klein asks her for a favor, she won't refuse, at most she'll ask for more gold coins, but it can't be in the name of the 'Follower Fool,' since Miss Messenger probably never imagined she'd become the Fool's angel in such a muddled way.

The "world" is Klein himself. It wouldn't be impossible for him to make the trip in person, but wouldn't that expose the secret?

As for the Serpent of Fate, although He is also an angel, He is still a child, an infant less than six months old. While He retains His angelic status, it's hard to say how much of His power He can still unleash, and Klein cannot command Him in the name of the Fool.

Just like Mr. Azik and Miss Messenger, Will Unsett didn't know that He was the angel of "The Fool"!

As a result, Klein had no choice but to dismiss four of the six archangels of the current dynasty.

Aside from these four, the remaining Guardian Angel and the Twilight Angel were purely from Ashesar. He didn't need faith; as long as the First Flame could replace the Creator, that was more effective than any form of faith.

The problem is that Grosser, the Angel of Twilight, has been away from home for thousands of years in the Forsaken Lands and now only wants to stay home and guard the Giants' Court. However, Grosser wouldn't resist the oracle of Mr. Fool, but Klein himself felt a little embarrassed.

So, it still has to be Mr. Door!

Mr. Door had previously been in charge of the Fool's Church's external "social" work, and he mostly came into contact with angels from various churches. But now that the war is over and the Fool's Church has gained a foothold, Mr. Door is quite relaxed for the time being.

Klein thought to himself, extending his spiritual touch to the deep red star belonging to Mr. "The Door," and sent him a "text message."

So...

Trier, White Maple Palace.

"This must be our first meeting, right?" Mr. Door said with a smile.

Russell's tone was anything but polite:

"It's our first meeting, but not the first time we've known each other."

Mr. Door's smile remained unchanged as he said meaningfully:

"I remember you had a famous saying: 'A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories.'"

Rosell's voice was low and gloomy:

"Then you probably haven't heard me say, 'A gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged.'"

He's been badly screwed over by Mr. "Men" all these years!

It was because he believed in Mr. "Door" that he ran to the moon, was corrupted by the Fallen Mother Goddess, and ended up in the pathetic state of trying to save his life by committing suicide. In the end, he still couldn't save himself and had to seal himself away.

Even though he has now broken free from the control of the Fallen Mother Goddess, it doesn't mean that the past can be turned over and done with, especially the things that Mr. "Door" tricked him about.

"I've never heard of it."

Mr. Door smiled and nodded, then quickly continued:

"Regardless, I helped you a lot when you were still weak. Although I was already insane at the time, you admitted that was me. So, I guess I can be considered half a teacher to you."

"hehe."

Rosell chuckled coldly, looking as if he wanted to glare at someone, but in reality he was quite calm.

The kind that's as still as a deep well.

Because he didn't harbor much resentment towards Mr. Door, after all, Mr. Door was in a worse state than him at the time, and the reason he was led to go to the moon was not out of His own will, but by the mad Mr. Door who was controlled by the fallen Mother Goddess.

Moreover, Roselle had always been wary of Mr. Door, and therefore never agreed to send him back to the real universe. Although Mr. Door had induced him to go to the moon, it was ultimately because of his damned curiosity.

At that time, he was already a Sequence 1 angel and thought that there was nothing in the world that could threaten him. Even in the hands of the Sequence 0 true god, he might still have a chance to escape. But he did not expect that there were countless ancient beings in the starry sky that were far more powerful than Sequence 0. As a result, he was infected by the Fallen Mother Goddess before he even had a chance to resist.

He wouldn't even have realized he had been contaminated if it weren't for another old source of pollution counteracting it.

So ultimately, it's all his own fault for being so reckless.

Given his situation at the time, as long as he didn't do anything reckless, no one could threaten him.

Russell had always seen things clearly, so he couldn't say he harbored any resentment or dissatisfaction towards Mr. "The Door." On the contrary, he quite admired Mr. "The Door." He himself had experienced the consequences of being corrupted by the Fallen Mother Goddess, and over a hundred years of that had nearly driven him to the brink of mental collapse.

Mr. "Door" had been trapped in the starry sky for thousands of years and was directly corrupted by the Fallen Mother Goddess. Even under these circumstances, he was still able to maintain a certain degree of self-awareness and frantically shout "Don't save me!" during every blood moon.

To avoid salvation, he even went so far as to curse the bloodline of the Abraham family to prevent the birth of a demigod, thereby preventing anyone from communicating with the mad Him and thus preventing anyone from sending Him back to the real world.

It has to be said, Mr. "Men" is definitely a ruthless person! Ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself.

If Rosell were in Mr. Door's position, he wouldn't dare guarantee that he would have the same determination as Mr. Door.

But regardless, Mr. Door ultimately screwed him over badly. Whether it was Mr. Door's own will or not, and whether Russell was reasonable or not, you can't expect him to greet Mr. Door with a smile, can you?

Isn't that just plain being a jerk?

"What do you need me to do?" Mr. Door asked with a smile as the atmosphere eased.

Russell said bluntly:

"Come with me to Beldan."

"What's there?" Mr. Door asked, frowning slightly.

Russell said without looking up:

"The uniqueness of the judge's path, and the disordered nation."

Mr. Door's smile gradually faded, and he frowned as he asked:

"You don't seem to be sequence 0 yet?"

Russell said calmly:

"That unique entity and the disordered nation are too close. If we don't act now, we'll have even less of a chance later."

The extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1 are easy to deal with. The royal families of the Kingdom of Rune and the Kingdom of Fennepot are both Judgement Path, and each has a Sequence 1 angel. He can just have a heart-to-heart talk with one of them, and he believes that the other party will not refuse his friendly offer.

Of course, refusing won't help; it's not something that can be resolved simply by them not agreeing.

However, uniqueness is different from extraordinary characteristics. Once uniqueness is lost, there is no other substitute.

"Can."

Mr. Door thought for a moment, then slowly said:

"When do we leave?"

"Now," Rosell said in a deep voice.

He needs to avoid things getting complicated.

Not only uniqueness, but also...

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman with chestnut-brown hair that reached her waist walked into the room. She wore a white blouse with lace and ribbon flowers, paired with a simple dark blue jacket, beige trousers, and black leather boots, looking dashing and heroic.

"The plan remains unchanged."

She said calmly:

"I'll go to Beldan with you, Mr. 'Men' will stay in Trier."

Russell didn't hesitate to use the excuse he had prepared beforehand:

"Mr. Door is stronger than you, and his extraordinary abilities are more useful than yours."

Mr. Door immediately understood that Russell was using himself to replace his daughter.

Mr. Door found it somewhat amusing. There was no need to be angry. After all, although close contact with the source was dangerous, with that person present, there was no need to worry about the pollution issue. As for whether he could regain the uniqueness, that was not within Mr. Door's consideration. He only needed to do his best.

Bernadette asked calmly:

"Does Mr. 'Fool' know you're doing this?"

"Of course I know."

Russell said frankly:

"That's what I told Him."

He told Klein he needed people, but didn't specify what they were for, so theoretically they could do whatever they wanted.

Mr. Door looked at Russell, then at Bernadette, and asked:

"So, should I go to Beldan with you, or stay in Intis?"

"Beldan!"

"Intis".

The father and daughter gave completely different answers.

Rosell frowned and asked:

Why do you insist on going in person?

Bernadette said calmly:

"I have my reasons."

"If Mr. Door is still the King of Angels, I will send Him to Beldan."

"But now, I am more useful than Him."

Mr. Door raised an eyebrow. Although He was currently only a Sequence 2, He had once been only one step away from becoming a true god, and His foundation and accumulated strength remained. In a one-on-one duel, most Sequence 2 angels might not be His match. So, why did Bernadette dare to say that?

Mr. Door shook his head. Anyway, he was not good at fighting, so thinking about it was useless. He didn't need to prove that he was stronger than anyone else.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can discuss it slowly."

"Mr. Door" said slowly.

It's impossible not to be in a hurry; if we weren't in a hurry, we wouldn't have called Him over.

Rosell looked at Bernadette, whose attitude was resolute.

After a few seconds of silence, Rosell sighed:

"Alright, you come with me, Mr. 'Door' stays behind."

His daughter is grown up and has her own ideas; there's nothing he, as her father, can do about it.

Bernadette withdrew her gaze, turned to Mr. "Door," and said:

"Mr. 'Men,' the situation in Intis is now basically stable, but at least one angel still needs to stay behind, otherwise the remaining opposition may take advantage of the situation to turn the tide."

"Although the Steam Church is our ally for now, they are ultimately unreliable, which is why we asked Mr. 'Fool' to send you here. However, most domestic affairs can be handled by those demigods themselves; your presence is mainly for deterrence purposes."

"However, there are two things that require special attention, one of which is the Steam Church."

"The two angels, Bonova and the Great Sage Caul, might not be so quiet; they might deliberately create conflict during this time. In addition, the opposition is secretly contacting the Secret Order, and the Intis Security Bureau has been monitoring them."

"But if they take action, they might need your help."

She gave very detailed instructions, seemingly confirming that the trip would take quite a while.

"The Secret Order?"

Mr. Door seemed thoughtful, then asked with a smile:

"I remember you also had contact with Zarathustra?"

"There used to be."

Russell said frankly:

"That old man is much more cunning than you; he won't act until he sees a clear benefit."

"Although he has died at the hands of the Fool, it seems he still had a backup plan. The Secret Order is probably trying to resurrect him, or more likely, they want his Sequence 2 extraordinary properties."

Rosell scoffed:

"A hastily arranged backup plan is certainly not that safe; it might end up benefiting someone else."

"If the secret sect makes any moves while we're away, you can take action yourself without worrying about the consequences."

"That's for the best."

Mr. Door nodded slightly, indicating that he could proceed without considering the consequences.

After all, He is an angel, and it is unreasonable to impose restrictions on Him when asking for help.

"Tsk."

Russell suddenly clicked his tongue:

"The old geezers I met were all incredibly cunning and shameless. Compared to them, you're actually quite lucky."

He looked at Mr. Door, even though Mr. Door often tricked him into putting Him back into the real universe.

Ultimately, as long as Roselle doesn't fall for it, everything will be fine. The same applies to the trip to the moon; if he does fall for it, it's his own fault for not being vigilant enough.

Zarathustra, however, adhered to the principle of "equivalent exchange." For anything Roselle wanted, he had to give something in return. For example, the theft of the Antigonus family notes from the Steam Church was at Zarathustra's request.

The remaining immortal serpent, Raccard, is even more formidable.

Compared to these two, Mr. "Door" is as innocent as a little white rabbit!

I'll take that as a compliment.

Mr. Door shook his head and did not argue with Russell.

In fact, He had very little recollection of the things he did while in a semi-mad state.

Because those things, in essence, could be attributed to the Fallen Mother Goddess, whose own will was in a daze, rarely clear-headed, and thus able to remember even less.

On the contrary, during his return, although his strength dropped to Sequence 2, it was the most relaxed period of his life.

Although they lost the right to compete for the title of Lord of Mysteries, they also unknowingly relieved themselves of many burdens.
