Rune, Ahowa County, in a city.

An empty room was filled with the smell of dust that had not been inhabited for a long time. But bizarrely, the full-length mirror in the corner was intact and not covered with a black cloth.

At this moment, the mirror flickered strangely, and a somewhat gloomy shadow-like young man appeared.

"The speech of George Augustus III is over."

"It's an abrupt end, Sharon, do you hear him? Why can kings speak in our heads? ”

The figure of a blonde girl in an intricate black dress appeared in the window on the side of the full-length mirror, and Sharon was silent for a moment, then shook her head slowly.

Then, she said, "I guess, something's wrong." ”

Sharon thought for a few seconds, and was about to say something more to Marić, when suddenly her eyes went dark.

Her veil covered her eyes, her clothes bound her to her chair, and a wicked voice rang in her ears:

"Guess who I am?"

Marić in the mirror grabbed his hair and got up from his chair:

"If anything happens to the king of Rune, we should flee again. Where should I flee this time, Fersack or Intis? ”

He began to pack up the items on the table in front of him, stuffing the cards and chips into his pocket: "Oh, it seems that you can't run to Fusak, the temperance members of Fusak are missing, and there is a demigod of the indulgence who is intercepting and capturing them, and they are probably all dead." ”

"The temperance faction members there invited us to hunt the demigod, but when their message was passed to us, Sharon you hadn't contacted Her Royal Highness Renette, we declined the invitation, and they didn't seem to go hunting, and they were caught......"

"Rune will soon be under martial law, if you want to leave, you have to take advantage of now, we have to go to a more chaotic place to hide ourselves, there are also plateau areas to choose from in the northern continent, and small countries such as the original Lenburg and Marcy. Sharon, we-"

Marić muttered to himself for a moment, he had long been accustomed to Sharon's not being able to read it back. But just as he looked up to ask Sharon, he suddenly found that the broken window glass was empty, only the worn-out curtains swaying slightly in the breeze.

Da!

There was a dead silence around him, and his hole was enlarged, and the chips he was holding in his hand rolled to the ground, being picked up by the other hand.

"You've really become a ghost, it's Steve's trait, right?" Richard looked at the red and white chips in his hand, and held two expressionless rag dolls in his arms—both of them were wearing black and delicate court dresses, with blonde hair, and one of them was carrying two heads on his hands—all four heads and eight pairs of red eyes looked at Sharon beside him, and this striking feature immediately made Marić's face change, and he lost his ability to speak and think for a moment in extreme oppression and panic.

Get nailed! Caught by the leader of the indulgent faction!

Marić's chest heaved uncontrollably a few times, and now that he had managed to escape from the Rose School and was now caught red-handed, he could almost see the bleak future for himself and Sharon and the others.

"If you don't kill him, I will educate them well."

Richard threw the chip back, and it bent in the air and crept into Marić's trouser pocket.

"Let's go, go back with me, there is a chance to play cards in the North Continent, it is better to go back and cultivate two acres of land."

She stretched out her hand, and that hand quickly enlarged in Mariage's eyes, and his body quickly became smaller and weaker, and in the blink of an eye, it became a Marich rag doll of the same style as Sharon and Renette.

Richard sandwiched the three rag dolls under the crook of his arm, returned to the spirit realm, and went straight to the direction of the Southern Continent.

The once quiet house was now completely silent, and the hooks of the shabby curtains were broken. At this moment, a gust of wind happened to blow through the broken glass window, covering the mirror that had once been lodged by the resentful spirits.

……

"What's wrong with that?" The Demon of Knowledge looked thoughtful, "Or do you have another choice?" ”

"Your ideas are a little too far ahead, I dare say at least eighty percent of the gods."

Edward sighed, "Didn't you see the misery of the Children of Chaos? ”

"See, there's no shame in being discovered by the All-Knowing." The Demon of Knowledge bowed his head, looked in the direction of Rune in the distance, and narrowed his eyes, "Her current state is quite interesting, she is the embodiment of order, and she will not really die, not to mention that she can still affect all the subjects and low-order extraordinary people in her own country now, and destroy the balance of the body of the all-knowing...... Her human identity limits her recovery, and if she wants to regain her god-level power, she must be successfully resurrected from the mausoleum......"

The Demon of Knowledge narrowed her eyes, and countless messages and data flashed quickly in her purple nebula-like eyes, and she came to the answer almost without a pause:

“…… The Omniscient left behind the king's mausoleum, forced the Children of Chaos to resurrect in the mausoleum for extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness, and then captured her, and it was easy to get out of the predicament, as long as someone came to destroy the mausoleum and kill her again. ”

"She will return from the astral plane and be resurrected completely."

"Actually, that's not what I'm trying to say, I mean...... She has changed her name to the god of lights, and she was also stuffed into the wishing lamp by Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, and she was the god of lights in the 'Aladdin Magic Lamp' in the Arabian Nights, the dignified arbiter, judge, and emperor, who wanted to make a living by fulfilling the wishes of others. Your mystical magic is associated with ancient myths and legends, are you sure that you will not be affected by the Celestial Venerable and turn into a strange story? ”

"Strange stories?" The Knowledge Demon smiled, "I like this new term. ”

Edward listened to the words of the demon of knowledge, and suddenly raised his eyebrows:

"Do you want to talk here?"

"Indeed, it should be a different place." The Demon of Knowledge nodded.

As he spoke, his surroundings suddenly changed. A breeze blows in the wilderness that hides the sound of a call, and in the wind, the streets of the towns quickly grow vegetation, creepers and mosses quickly erode and swallow away buildings and all man-made objects, hiding traces of civilization in a gray-green world.

Centered on the location of the Demon of Knowledge, the power of the "Knowledge Wilderness" penetrates reality on a small scale, making the area where she stands.

As if a thousand years had passed in an instant, the world was deserted, cities were turned into wilderness, flowers and blades of grass fluttered in the wind. Knowledge and past civilizations are hidden under the vigor of life, waiting to be discovered by future generations, and only a vast scene remains in the wilderness.

She uses the power of essentia against essentia, against the omniscient of the one who sank in the sea of chaos.

It wasn't until everything around him was built that Edward spoke again:

"You want to do something about 'omniscience'?"

The demon of knowledge did not deny it, and the face of the old and thin scholar showed a thoughtful look, as if he was weighing the pros and cons:

"Sooner or later, the all-knowing and all-powerful will do something to me, and I will strike first."

"It feels really bad to be torn apart and devoured, and I don't want to experience it again, so I'll eat the God of Truth first and destroy her. You're right, I'm really thinking about whether or not to help the Child of Chaos die again, let her return from the astral plane, and help me kill the All-Knowing. ”

"God is in the Sea of Chaos, and you are taking omniscience...... Oh? ”

Edward suddenly understood, and looked at the Demon of Knowledge with a little more awe:

"That's why you're going to support Cleon Moretti? Are you planning to let him hold back God's pace, and then you will take advantage of this opportunity to devour other gods as much as possible, perfect yourself, and cause trouble for God? I thought you were going to be a good teacher. ”

The Demon of Knowledge shook his head slowly but firmly.

"It's fun to communicate with people."

"But aggregation and strengthening are the first requirements of our lives......"

Humans have a hierarchy of physiological needs, and so do gods. For the gods of the starry sky, just as humans must eat before doing anything, gathering and fighting are the first needs, and instinct has a sequence.

Competing for God's "omniscience" will not make the demon of knowledge a pillar of the old days, nor will it let God fall into the ordinary old days because of the lack of this piece of the puzzle, but it will make God hold a grudge, and maybe he will take his life in the future.

But as long as she has the opportunity, she will still do it, almost all the gods of the stars will do it, and this is the way to survive.

In the concept of human interests, this is a meaningless act, because human beings cannot understand "gathering and becoming stronger" as eating.

It seems that neither can the gods of mankind.

Although it is instinct and power to grant knowledge, eating is more important than work. The eyes of the demon of knowledge looked into the distance, everything in the wilderness was made up of pure knowledge, the blooming and withering of a flower were in a predetermined time and process, the petals were written with the variety, flowering period, growth time and life duration, and the same was true for living beings and all believers in her eyes, dismantling into information in great detail, there was no difference.

Seeing all this, the demon of knowledge suddenly thought of something and said:

"You seem to have some cooperation with the All-Knowing Almighty, and her teachings mention your kingdom, and your interests are aligned?"

"Cooperation...... It stands to reason that it's over. ”

From the moment the True Creator disappeared, their cooperation officially ended, and she also refused to become a subordinate to God, did not allow the True Creator to further strengthen their bond through the Holy Scriptures, and there was no covenant to bind Edward Vaughn.

】

In Edward's cognition and principles, whoever talks with him face-to-face on terms is the one who cooperates, and it cannot be inherited or transferred.

The Demon of Knowledge was not surprised by this answer, and then, Edward shook his head, and said solemnly:

"If you have a stake...... I don't have any ill feelings towards God, but you probably don't have any interest in me, and I won't help you. If you just want to rip the 'omniscience' from the god of thunder, teaming up with the children of chaos is enough. ”

"The premise of cooperating with her is that she can keep her promise, but she also has a grudge against the God of Thunder now, so she shouldn't change her mind in battle."

"Then again, are you going to kill the God of Thunder, or are you just going to beat her to pieces and rob Omniscience?"

"What's the difference between the two?"

The demon of knowledge was still a little curious, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, you're right, the situation on the earth is still relatively stable, she has no other competitors in the path that belongs to God, and I don't need the tyrant, she can live without a way - no, maybe she still can't live, the children of chaos may try to fit themselves with the 'tyrant', after all, the black emperor is also a tyrant, isn't it?" ”

After a few words, the Demon of Knowledge had already carved up Leodro's characteristics, and it seemed that he was waiting to find a time to contact the Children of Chaos.

The possibility of this solution is quite high, and as the essentia embodiment of self-improvement and becoming stronger in the first place, Edward did not express any denial of the idea of the demon of knowledge, but only asked another question:

"And what do you do with your newly reconstituted church?"

The Demon of Knowledge has only been returning for about a month, and the "Morse Ascetic" has just completed its initial integration with the Church of the God of Steam and Machines, and all walks of life have not yet developed - most importantly, her church is next door to the Church of the Creator! Although the Demon of Knowledge has no affection for God, she also settled in Intis by accident, and according to her agreement, she had to protect the followers of the God of Steam and Machines.

She thought for a moment, and looked at the sky in the distance:

"I don't need so many believers, but there will be students among the believers who deserve to be taught."

"I also don't want to mingle with the believers of the All-Knowing and Almighty, the Angel of War has hindered me from communicating with Crane Moretti several times, and if I get Rune with the Children of Chaos, then I can leave Intis. Or, I can break up the church and let them go incognito to other nations to preach my name and spread the knowledge and technology I have given them, just as they use the inventions of the god of steam instead of believing in her. ”

"Good, glad to see that you don't have unreasonably good intentions towards humans."

Edward breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"I'd be scared if you suddenly said something like protecting humanity, loving humanity, or helping them in any way you could, after all, you've been with humans in the Western Continent for a long time."

"The human base is very large, and with many talents, it is not bad as an intelligent race, and it can be one of my scroll clans."

The demon of knowledge didn't quite understand, but he still expressed his affirmation.

"Having said that, do you have any information related to Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun?"

"What do you want to know?" Edward asked, "If it's a contender for the Lord of Mysteries, apart from the one you have noticed so far, Cleon Moretti, you should have gotten the others, none other than Antigonus, Amon, Zarathu, Parles Zoroaster, and Bethel Abraham, who has not yet come down from the sky." ”

"I remember one thing, at the end of the fourth season, Bethel Abraham was banished by the Storm and the Night. In other words, if I kill the All-Knowing, the door controlled by the Fallen Mother Goddess will return......"

If you want to get rid of the pollution, you have to kill the contaminated person completely.

The Fallen Mother Goddess is a pillar of the old days, and such pollution will feel tricky even in the powerful old days, and if you don't pay attention, you will turn back on yourself. Bethel Abraham was sentenced to death from the moment he was contaminated.

The alien gods have their own purposes, positions and behaviors are different, but the fewer gods who come to participate, the better, not to mention that this small earth can't stuff a pillar, if the fallen mother goddess comes, the omniscient and the Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun will also wake up immediately, maybe they will directly fuse and awaken the initial in the melee, so that the universe can be restarted again...... The Demon of Knowledge didn't want to live so early, she thought about it and looked far away, her eyes fell on the Hornachis Mountains wrapped in a veil of secrecy, and whispered:

"Are you helping the goddess of the night suppress Antigonus?"

"Yes." Edward readily admitted, "I think that God's environment is more suitable for survival than Tianzun." Are you really going to help Tianzun to contain God? Looking at the past Third Age, Amon is currently the most similar in personality to the Lord of Mysteries, do you think you are sure that you will win Amun's favor, or do you think you can get Crane to have enough affection for you? ”

"You have a point."

"Would you mind telling me where Cleon Moretti is now?"

The Demon of Knowledge glanced at her and suddenly asked:

"What kind of man was Bethel Abraham?"

and Amun, Zarathu, Antigonus who has been eroded by the spiritual imprint of the Celestial Venerable, and Mr. Heavenly Gate, although deeply polluted for thousands of years, may be the best one to start at the moment.

And, it just so happens that she also wants to attack the extraordinary properties of the All-Knowing.

As long as you want to do it, there are always more ways than difficulties.

Memory is also information, and for the demon of knowledge, it is not difficult to kill Bethel Abraham, remove the pollution of extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness, and then reshape an identical Bethel Abraham based on the memory information, it is just a matter of moving your fingers.

If he had lived, Bethel Abraham would not have sought death.

Although selling favors may not be effective, memories and favorites can be regulated according to the needs of the demon of knowledge. You don't need to be too good in the relationship, it's too fake, as long as you let Mr. "Men" have more good feelings and respect for yourself, then things will be much easier to do in the future.

"Such an iron heart to oppose God." Edward was also a little surprised, "I didn't come to the early Quaternary, I don't know her well, but you should have a ritual at hand that can contact her, Russell Gustav used it." ”

"I will not approve of God from a standpoint, and sooner or later she will 'desire to supplement the omniscient and omnipotent' to do something against me, in this case, my choice but to run away is to support Tianzun." The Demon of Knowledge obviously didn't intend to run away, "Although you don't cooperate, what are you going to do next?" ”

"I'm ......"

Edward fell into thought.

"To be honest, I've been in prison for a long time, and I'm still bound by a contract, and now it's suddenly free, and I'm not used to it."

She casually told a joke from an old era, and the Demon of Knowledge understood:

"I decided to do whatever I wanted, such as going to Beckland's grave to mock the Children of Chaos, having the believers sell arms, promoting war, burning and looting, leading the Southern Continent to colonize the Northern Continent, or going to trouble the gods of the earth when I had nothing to do, and most importantly, to visit Crane and then slaughter him. The Sons of Chaos are so difficult to get out of trouble that I don't want to bet on the temperament of the candidate at all, and I suggest you also go and talk to the Sons of Chaos, maybe you will understand God by chatting. ”

"No, I don't want to understand God at all."

The Demon of Knowledge said, "But I'll go talk to the Children of Chaos, see you later." ”
