While Crane and Azik were talking, the ashes in the sky were still slowly drifting downward, merging into the sea where the ice was slowly melting.

Seeing the "Ageless Witch" disappear in front of him, as if it had been completely dead and turned to ashes, Klein opened his mouth and felt a little incredible. He looked up at Azik in front of him and asked him, his tone genuinely happy.

"Mr. Azik, have you regained your full strength? Can be solved so easily, this 'ageless witch'? ”

“…… She wasn't completely dead. Azik was silent for a moment, as if he was not used to speaking. It took him a moment to seem to find his senses and speak to Crane in front of him.

He looked at Klein's expression and was stunned, as if he felt that his tone was wrong, so he opened his mouth and added:

"I mean, the 'Witches of Immortality' are weird and hard to kill, and they have the peculiarity of resurrection. The moment she looked at me, she realized that she had no way to get the result she wanted this time, and she could only use her resurrection ability to get out of this battlefield. ”

Azik shook his head: "She has worked with me many times and has a certain understanding of my abilities, so it is naturally difficult for me to let her fall directly." However, in this way, Caterina will not have the time and energy to appear in the outside world during this time. ”

"On the other hand, you can't lend your secret puppet to the Night Church or psychic to get information about the 'Witch Cult'. Caterina ended her life this time and severed her occult ties with Tracy. ”

The Angel of the "Grim Reaper" pathway, who is probably closest to the Grim Reaper in her current personality, smiled gently at Klein: "Death can wash away many things, and with the help of death, Caterina also avoids the subsequent risks - although, this is quite a price to pay for Caterina. ”

"And my strength is only half restored, and your friend and creator has somehow helped me to complete the half of my soul that I was missing, allowing me to restore the authority of the 'Death Archon', but I can't use it for long. After all, this is only a stopgap measure, and my true soul is still missing. ”

"And now that I've lost my other half of my soul, my humanity has become a little weaker. I now feel that the balance between divinity and humanity is difficult to maintain at any time, and those two told me that only by becoming angels can I take control of my destiny and find my soul in this age. ”

Azik was silent for a while, there was naturally a price to pay for completing the soul, and for him, his divinity had obviously become stronger.

The other half of His soul never became fully and truly whole, but now created by the High Seeker and the True Creator, the other half of His soul still complements His strength and allows His humanity to be maintained.

It is difficult to say how to operate, but it is also easy to say, after all, it requires the complete authority of the gods to be able to make "complete" the soul divided by the uniqueness.

The principle is that after the real creator used the "fallen" ability to divide the other half of Azik's soul, the high-dimensional overlooking person used the power of falsifying history to cover Azik's personality in this life on this fallen soul, modifying the state of the soul to make it more biased towards Azk's current personality.

The soul was then stitched onto the remaining half of Azk's soul, and with the help of the power of the "sleep" of a part of the goddess of the night, the restless spirits were united. For the three true gods, such an action is easy to capture, but it is indeed unthinkable in the eyes of Azik.

This is a veritable "divine authority".

Azik glanced at Crane in front of him, and although he saw Crane's wounds, he was also really surprised by Crane's ability to drag the "Ageless Witch" for so long.

After completing part of his memory, he also knew the strength of the "Witch of Ageless" Caterina Pelle. In ancient times, when the "Grim Reaper" and the "Witch" teamed up to set off the "Pale Calamity", they worked together against the Sages of the Night Church.

The "Sorcerer" is certainly strange and difficult to kill, but in the sequence of the "soothsayer" path of the Esoteric Order, even the demigods have killed a lot.

It stands to reason that Azik felt that Crane should have been seriously injured or even killed when he was cursed by the first Sequence Three. So He had already done his best to get out of the spirit realm. Even during the "Spiritual Realm Shuttle", he accidentally smashed several unlucky spiritual creatures and their mansions in the spiritual realm.

In Azik's view, having a much more powerful spiritual intuition and personality than the "sophist" of this sequence is already the most peculiar point of Klein.

Sure enough, it was not for nothing that he was chosen by those two, and Klein might really be able to become a true god like his father in the future......

Azik nodded, he didn't know about Crane's possession of the Source Fort right now. He can only vaguely find the three ways of "fool", "door" and "error" in his completed but still vague memory, and there is no true God now.

He didn't think age would be a constraint, and Klein was hopeful for that position.

"Perhaps, it will be until you have successfully regained your true soul, Mr. Azik, that your current state will be better."

Klein felt a little regretful in his heart, but sincerely happy for the choice Mr. Azik had made. Azik understood the implicit meaning in Crane's tone, nodded, and said to him:

"You have a great talent, and now you are a demigod...... I'm not sure if you'll be able to become a high-level person who can control your own destiny, but it's not impossible, Klein, and sometimes you don't need to think that you're still young, after all, you've only been a year away from the Extraordinary. ”

One year, he became a demigod...... Azik was silent for a moment, then continued:

"However, if there is any problem that is difficult to know or encounters an enemy that you can't solve, you can blow this bronze whistle and write to me, and I will try to help you as much as possible."

Azik sighed, although he thought that Crane had the potential to become a true god, but his fate was unpredictable, even Bethel Abraham, who was known as the "king of angels closest to God" at that time, was not now just an ordinary angel like him?

On the contrary, it was the "god of steam and machinery" who was inconspicuous at that time and became a true god. And Mr. "Gate" has been in the seal for countless years, and if it weren't for the arrival of the high-dimensional overlooker, he would not have been able to recover his sanity now, and he would still be trapped in the pollution of the fallen mother goddess.

"Let's go, I'll take you back—do you need to find your secret mate? That should be one of your goals for this operation. ”

Crane nodded and replied:

"That's right, I'm here to prepare for my investigation in Beckland. It's just that I didn't expect that Tracy's mother would also appear with her. ”

“…… This coincidence reminds me of our time in Tingen. Mr. Azik commented: "I hate this feeling of plotting against us behind the scenes with villains, not daring to expose our real bodies to the world, and delusionally wanting to be the director of the script, which is boring." ”

"Caterina is one of the few witches in the witch sect who still has feelings for her offspring, and Tracy is her proudest daughter, evil enough, crazy enough, and painful enough." Azk frowned slightly, as if sensing some special spirit:

"In order to promote Tracy to the 'Desperate Witch', she even deliberately abducted Tracy's girlfriend and made it into a puppet. And take this opportunity to give Tracy a stimulus, so that Tracy has the motivation to move upwards, and prepare for Tracy to 'use' in the ceremony of promoting the 'Witch of Despair'. ”

"Although this is a common occurrence in our time, it still makes me feel a little uncomfortable now that I have regained a certain amount of humanity."

It's crazy enough...... The witch's love is unbearable for ordinary people, even if it's her daughter, no, maybe it's a son? It's disgusting......

Under Azik's description, Crane imagined a rather terrifying picture. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and sank into the water, only to be able to control the Tricy Puppet he had salvaged before Azik appeared in front of Azik.

"Let's go back first, let's go back and have a good chat. It's been a long time since Tingen said goodbye to each other. ”

Azik reached out and pressed one hand on Crane's shoulder, and the other on the shoulder of the secret puppet next to Crane. Klein felt a multicolored color appear in front of him, and the colors he saw in his eyes became more intense, obviously entering the spirit realm.

In just a few moments, he appeared on the streets of Beckland, and the surrounding sounds suddenly drowned out Crane, and no one around him noticed him, as if Crane was standing there.

No, Mr. Azik is still wearing that......

He subconsciously looked at Azik beside him, only to find that the robe he was wearing had been replaced with a common outfit for the Rune.

After noticing Crane's eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a somewhat stiff but warm smile.

"Let's go, Klein Moretti. My students. ”

……

In a small box in the café, a wall of spirits cut off the sound of the two men talking.

Before entering the café, Crane changed his face and told Azik about his experience during this time, while Azik nodded frequently, his expression was quite strange.

After Klein recounted his experience during this time, Azk picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip gently, feeling the bitterness lingering on the tip of his tongue.

After a few moments, He spoke slowly:

"Klein, your experience does strike me a little bit amazing. Even some angels and saints may not have such a complicated and thrilling experience as yours. There are some angels who have spent their lives dedicated to God, struggling with battles and penances, and their experiences and experiences may really not be as rich as yours. ”

Of course, Azik is talking about young angels in extreme situations, after all, Crane is already a demigod, and it is obviously a little inappropriate to compare the Extraordinary and Crane who also only have Sequence Four.

"Actually, if I could, I would have liked to have been a night watchman in Tingen. That way, although my experience will be a little more uneventful, it will also make me feel happier. ”

Klein sighed: "There are so many doubts around me, it seems that someone has been planning all this for me, I know that some people are doing it for my own good, and some people want to take advantage of me." Sometimes, I just can't tell what I'm supposed to do. ”

Azik thought for a moment, then said to Klein in an admonishing tone:

"You can try to use your own judgment to discern those who are doing things around you that are good for you."

"This is a method of judging the state of mythical creatures in a way that is somewhat in line with the state of mythical creatures, and pure kindness is too rare for mythical creatures. Even friendships made up of intertwined interests and feelings are a luxury for them. ”

"It seems to me that the fact that He can maintain a certain amount of attachment to you is already the greatest result that He can squeeze out of his own humanity."

"There is no pure friendship in this world, and there is almost only an exchange of interests above the angels, and sometimes you may wish to think about how you feel when you receive the divinity, and you will know when you expand the proportion of divinity to occupy the same as your own human nature. How painful it can be for angels to make judgments that favor good intentions at times. ”

For their divinity would not allow them to do such a ridiculous act. Angels with more faith and anchor points would be slightly better, while those who were weakened were able to rely almost exclusively on their own insane and cruel instincts. ”

Klein let out a sigh, "It's cruel. ”

"That's the way it is in this world, sometimes some paths are stronger than others, because they have more madness, and for some people, this extraordinary power is a gift from heaven, but I think it may be closer to a curse."

Azik said calmly:

"When power itself is accompanied by madness, we can only calmly face this madness, choose strength or choose reason, many times we can only choose one or the other."

"It is better to grasp the power from the oldest epochs to be able to control one's own destiny, and all the gods have chosen it this way. They may also be miserable and crazy, but they have no choice other than that. ”

Azik's tone of voice is indeed much colder, which is also the influence of divinity. Alas, the mere level of angels is already so serious that what about becoming the true God, becoming a person above that?

Klein subconsciously thought that he couldn't help but feel a little sad, the extraordinary person chose to be promoted in order to avoid the disaster he encountered, and after being promoted to a higher sequence, the power itself became a disaster.

However, I can only do this, I will never be able to truly control my destiny without continuing to advance to a higher order.

In fact, if it weren't for those swords of Damocles hanging high in the sky, I would have been very satisfied with staying at the level of sequence four. At most, you will be promoted upwards, and after being promoted to Sequence 3, you will turn to the "door" to witness the various scenery in the world, and even the heavenly scene.

Maybe only when my life is coming to an end will I know if I want to be promoted to angel, but such an idea is destined to come to naught.

Crane shook his head and said to Azik in front of him.

"I see, Mr. Azik."

"Even for the sake of the people I care about, I will continue to rise through the ranks and gain more power. Because only in this way can I protect the people I care about and the things I care about. ”

Crane picked up the hat he had placed on the table and got up to leave, smiling and nodding at Azik. With a smile on his face, Azik drank the bitterness from his glass.
