When everything was settled, Bethel led Thoth to another temple.

As a result of the space tricks played by the apprentices, the temple actually took up much more space than the craftsmen had designed for it, longer and wider, and taller, and walked through it with the feeling of wandering through the wilderness, and the wallpaper was gone, replaced by patches of nebulae, blue, purple, orange, crimson...... The colors change harmoniously and beautifully, like a fairyland, and the oil paintings and alcoves are hidden in them, making it difficult to tell whether they are embedded or floating in the air.

The paintings are often incomprehensible grotesque, like the graffiti of the abstract painter, in which strange creatures are swimming, wings, laughing, or invective—they are all alive, and in the niches are all kinds of objects, some are pale-skinned, scarred human hands, some are scepters made in the shape of a cross, some are hair dancing without the wind—but one thing is the same, they are all extremely active, and they have extremely strong malice.

"This is the 'Temple of Trials,'" Bethel explained, "Every Abraham has to stay here for a while before he goes to the stars."

"This environment is created based on the danger of the starry sky?"

"Far less than the stars."

Bethel sighed, "The main thing is to develop alertness and resilience and make them more resilient inside."

"I see." Thorough nodded, "So you're planning to release the stuff that's locked in the painting?"

"And undo the oppression of these extraordinary objects."

As Thoth himself said, "How much power you can record depends on how many means you can use for me", Bethel didn't intend to be polite to him, and directly took out the most dangerous thing in the clan against him.

Thoth pointed to an alcove, "If I accidentally break these things......

"My Abraham's house lacks these things, and it is not without craftsmen." Bert said in a disapproving tone, "And this space can swallow energy to a certain extent, you just have to contribute."

Wow, it's nice to be rich...... Although I'm not short of money myself. Thoth muttered silently in his heart, wondering if he should also build a cultivation place like this secret realm within the school, but it would be very dangerous to deal with so many evil spirits, demons, and spirit creatures, although the resources are sufficient, it is best not to try blindly...... The spirit directly launched an alarm, and all the seals were unsealed at once, and those "strange shapes" that had been imprisoned for a long time smelled the breath of freedom, just like a hungry hyena smelled blood, and rushed out desperately!

Boom!

A picture frame was immediately shattered into powder, and a demon was the first to break free from the shackles, only to see that it was more than two meters tall, with towering head horns, black and red all over, and it was full of demigod levels! At the moment of freedom, it let out a roar of pleasure, and at the same time a cry that could kill people! Immediately after, dozens of blue fireballs were thrown by it, shooting straight towards Thoth's face!

Duke Abraham hid in the hidden space he had constructed, took out a large book with a red agate embedded in the middle of the cover inlaid with gold and silver, turned to the blank page, and recorded the "sulfur fireball" in a graceful manner—although he didn't need it, this kind of mass destruction trick was definitely not too much for the junior in the sequence. ….

Thoth sighed silently, saying that he had seen this trick many times on the battlefield at the end of the Second Age, and even if he didn't see or listen, he could smell it.

The fireball exploded over him, but there was no smell of burnt flesh, no brains or limbs, only scattered starlight—the remnants of the astrologer that had been blown to pieces.

Starlight descended from the sky, one after the other, trapping the demon like a cage, making it look like a worm in amber. The fairytale-like starlight turned into something as sinister as nitric acid, and the demon's hands and feet, torso, and skin were quickly disintegrated and devoured, and a trace of astonishment crossed its face distorted by severe pain—not so much because it couldn't dodge, but because the "malicious perception" didn't warn it, so it wasn't prepared at all!

How so, why

No malice at all?!

It looked in horror at the human-like creature, who was so powerful, but not coercive.

His killing intent was pure. Bethel recorded the "Starlight Cage" while pondering the appropriate metaphor—like uncorking a red wine bottle.

For Thoth, whether it is deterrence or killing intent, it is all information flowing out of itself, as long as it is contained in his body, it will not be detected by external objects - during the period when he roamed the Northern Continent in the Third Age, accumulated beliefs, and played the role of a "hermit", in order to "walk in the world without leaving a trace", he did the ultimate in the restraint of information, and people in all shapes and shapes passed by him, and they would never look at him more.

Incidentally, the same is true of the widespread impression he has left on the social community as "approachable", partly because he doesn't like to put on a show, but partly because the low-to-mid rank extraordinaries don't feel threatened by him.

The scent of demagogic flowers diluted the smell of blood, and the night spread, the dry bones of the long dead let out a tooth-sore murmur, and the blood-red eyes opened in the thick hair of the morning mist...... Thoth's ability to kill demons in an instant made the prisoners feel jealous, perhaps because his momentum was not intimidating, giving them the illusion that "together they can win", in short, they began to consciously cooperate with each other.

Several fanged fish monsters jumped out of the night, and pounced on Thoth from three directions at the same time, just when Thoth was about to withdraw and leave, he felt his body stiffen slightly, taking advantage of this momentary hesitation, a *** beauty attacked him, and the warm fragrance on her body gave people the illusion that she was in a gentle country, and her bones were about to be crisped off.

A palace puppet sitting in an alcove, waving two small hands with black spirit threads connected to its fingertips, giggled as if it were struck by Thoth.

Thoth had a look of regret and pity.

In the next second, countless redundant messages flowed down the spirit thread, and the wooden idol twitched violently like an electric shock, staggering down from the alcove, and broke a leg. At the same time, black thorns rose from the ground, forming an impregnable armor around Thoth, and the spikes opened several holes in the fish monster that could not contain the attack; With the sound of the horse's hooves, the woman let out a whimper of pain, and then fell down softly - it was a strange plant with a beautiful woman on the top and vines on the bottom, and "Famine" was the natural enemy of "abundance", mercilessly strangling everything related to plants, and the vines soon turned yellow, and the delicate face became wrinkled like an old woman, and finally became a skeleton. ….

After summoning the "Famine", he summoned the "Plague" on the white horse, the "Strife" on the red horse and the "death" on the green horse, with the aura of doomsday, they quickly slaughtered many demons, evil spirits, and spirit creatures, and the remaining ones realized that the previous cage was the safest place, so they hid back in their "picture frame" and refused to get out anyway.

"Thank you, you saved me the effort to get them back."

Bethel closed the notebook and re-sealed each frame.

"Wait a minute, I'll let the junior deliver what you want."

A month later.

"The Creator ......"

"The Juggernaut Behind the Veil of Shadows......

"The Fallen Nature of All Living Beings......"

"We pray for your gaze, for your hearing, for your revelation......

Prayers came from the city-states where humanity still survived in the Godforsaken Lands, and a secret supplicant who had come here half a century ago to fulfill the will of the Lord prayed more and more frequently during the month—a crucial month, because in a month's time, the ark that would lead the forsaken people to a glorious tomorrow was coming, and they had to lead men, women, and children to the scheduled dock of the ship in time.

After confirming the details of the deployment and the current location of each team, the True Creator asked, "How do I look?"

Thoth took Him from head to toe

After looking at it, he said seriously, "You look like an older young man who is going to see his ex-wife."

"Hey—"

"Just kidding, you look good, don't be nervous."

In the temple, the black, one-eyed scarlet giant hanging upside down on the cross was gone, replaced by a man nearly two meters tall, shrouded in shadows, only his head, a pair of hands and a neck, his skin was very white, and he could almost see the cyan blood vessels, his face was handsome but handsome, and he looked at it with a bit of Sasriel, and his eyes were as thick as blood.

"Mind if I smoke?"

"You feel free."

After exhaling a thick puff of white smoke, the True Creator said, "Is my apprehension obvious?"

"It's not obvious." Thoth reassured, "I'm not the type to be good at reading words and feelings, and the reason why I can feel you nervous is because I'm a little nervous."

"That's normal, after all, you've put a lot of effort into it." The True Creator sighed, "More than half a century."

Thoth corrected, "It's not me, it's us."

"Yes, we do."

"Your apprehension is normal, Alex." After a moment of silence, Thoth said, "While the act of redeeming Rose was a desperate move, I have spent my days thinking about whether I could have done better, could have avoided more harm - even though I knew that I was neither omniscient nor omnipotent, and could not have saved everyone."

"When dealing with the people of Silver City, I occasionally have a hard time looking them in the eye." Thoth hooked the corners of his mouth, "From a god's point of view, I must be very hypocritical."

"No, never." The True Creator patted Him on the shoulder, "Thank you, Meng."

"You're welcome." Thoth said with crooked eyebrows, "I'll bring them out, and the North will leave it to you."
