On the western side of the battlefield, the spirituality of the "Demoness of Catastrophe," who resembled a "porcelain doll," seemed to sense something. She jumped into a snowdrift, weaving through the snowflakes to escape.
The "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" didn't rush to chase after her. Instead, it "reproduced" a gray-white dragon. Its exact appearance was unclear, but the only thing that could be clearly seen was its pair of pale golden vertical pupils.
At this moment, those two pale golden vertical pupils were staring at the fleeing "Demoness of Catastrophe."
In an instant, complex and independent occult symbols appeared one after another across the entire battlefield, and the space of the battlefield became somewhat unreal.
The "Demoness of Catastrophe" "leapt" several times in succession, only to discover that she hadn't managed to escape the battlefield. The battlefield, which was originally only a dozen or twenty square kilometers, seemed to have become boundless and without end.
She glanced back, and the gray-white dragon in mid-air was rapidly disappearing, but its "ideation" of the entire battlefield wouldn't vanish for a while.
The "Demoness of Catastrophe" raised a hand, and a gray mirror appeared in front of her. Just as she was about to enter the mirror, she saw lines of characters, numbers, and occult symbols flowing across the mirror's surface, forming a stream of information.
Her pupils also reflected streams of information. The massive information surge caused her to stand rooted to the spot, her brain seemingly working in overdrive, struggling to read and understand the information.
At this moment, all the eyes on the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" were fixed on the "Demoness of Catastrophe." The angel of the "Witch" pathway first had her eyes turn into lines of constantly scrolling information, followed by her face, and then her entire head, which also transformed into information streams.
Just as the information stream was flowing down her neck, towards her torso, the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" head tilted and fell off her neck.
From her neck, a smaller head emerged.
This head had even less of a living presence, bearing an even more artificial smile.
At this moment, Hobert, who had arrived, complained inwardly: Is she playing with Matryoshka dolls?
The "Holy Infant King" immediately joined the battle. The fetus in its womb opened its mouth, and a vile voice filled the heavens and earth. Creatures that heard this voice either exploded on the spot or transformed into hideous monsters.
However, at this point, there were hardly any living creatures left on the battlefield.
The artificial smile on the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" face gradually disappeared, replaced by a painful expression with furrowed brows.
The "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch," seized this opportunity to "reproduce" a massive figure with a huge vertical pupil on its face, wearing a suit of armor.
This figure held a giant sword, radiating the light of dusk.
Everything on the battlefield rapidly began to decay. Vegetation quickly withered, animals rapidly aged, and even the snow lost its luster, becoming extremely rough.
The vibrant colors on the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" body also faded rapidly, and her porcelain-like skin developed wrinkles and cracks, becoming extremely ugly.
At this moment, the "Creator" in mid-air raised a hand: "Exploit!"
The giant figure, which was about to dissipate, became solid again, and Hobert extended the duration of the "reproduction."
Thus, the cracks on the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" body evolved into huge fissures. At this time, the even more illusory "Holy Infant King" also attacked again, and the black tide representing "corruption" converged towards the "Demoness of Catastrophe."
From the cracks in the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" skin, clumps of dark black hair extended. These hairs quickly thickened, and a snake's head appeared at the tip of each hair, eventually turning into thin venomous snakes.
Whoosh~
The "Demoness of Catastrophe's" fragile skin peeled off, making a sound like shards of pottery falling to the ground.
A woman with a head full of flowing venomous snakes, with a beautiful and bewitching appearance and a full and graceful figure, appeared before Hobert and the others.
She constantly radiated a unique charm, and both the "Holy Infant King" and the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" had to constantly resist the erosion of this charm, otherwise, it would be difficult to generate any desire to attack.
Hiss~
The venomous snakes flicked their tongues, forming palm-sized mirrors all around. The "black tide" that had just surrounded them flowed into the mirrors.
The "Twilight Giant" "reproduced" by the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" raised the greatsword in his hand onto his shoulder, and the rising sun still in the east began to emit the light of dusk. Everything on the land within sight began to decay.
The skin on the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" body didn't change this time, but the scales on the bodies of the snakes on her head quickly lost their luster.
Dozens of venomous snakes fell to the ground, only twitching a few times before becoming motionless, oozing rotten liquid.
The "Holy Infant King" opened its eyes again and looked at the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" shadow on the ground. Its shadow instantly exploded.
The "Demoness of Catastrophe" revealed a painful expression, and cracks also appeared on her body, but soon, the cracks disappeared, and more than a dozen venomous snakes fell from her head.
These venomous snakes instantly exploded, dying tragically at the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" feet.
Sitting in the "Nation of Disorder," Hobert understood that the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" spirituality realized that the "Holy Infant King" and the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
So, she simply stopped running, because escaping at this time would make her vulnerable to injury under the siege.
The "Demoness of Catastrophe" simply manifested her mythical creature state, trying to avoid Hobert's and the others' siege, using the venomous snakes on her head to bear most of the damage, waiting for the "Holy Infant King" and the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" to be the first to give out.
At that time, even under the gaze of the "Creator," her probability of escape would be greater.
But this tactic wasn't without risk. If the damage she suffered exceeded her ability to withstand it, she would face a very dangerous situation.
Hobert glanced at the "Holy Infant King," which was already somewhat transparent, and the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch," which was also beginning to become illusory. Their disappearance was irreversible, and it was difficult to prolong their existence even with "Exploit" and "tampering."
Then, Hobert looked at the still-dense "hair" of the "Demoness of Catastrophe."
Obviously, she could withstand the attacks of the next few seconds.
Hobert pondered for a moment, and while the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" and the "Holy Infant King" continued to attack, he used the ability of "distortion." What he "distorted" were the thoughts of those venomous snakes, making them very eager to slither on the ground.
So, Hobert saw the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" face change slightly. The venomous snakes on her head, which were originally in a flowing state, suddenly pulled downwards together, as if hoping to immediately detach from the main body and feel the joy of slithering on the ground.
For a moment, they pulled the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" head stiff.
The "Holy Infant King" seized this opportunity and waved its small hand. The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and a black giant cross appeared behind the "Demoness of Catastrophe."
The "Demoness of Catastrophe" involuntarily opened her arms, and no matter how she struggled, she was eventually trapped on the cross.
One after another dark figures appeared on the ground around the cross, each holding a black longsword, surrounding the "Demoness of Catastrophe," stabbing her with their swords one after another.
With each sword strike, the "Demoness of Catastrophe" would lose some hair. Originally, losing only a dozen venomous snakes could bear the damage suffered by the main body, but because of Hobert's "distorted" pulling, now thirty or forty had to be lost at once!
"Magnify!" Hobert magnified the damage suffered by the "Demoness of Catastrophe," and the venomous snakes fell even faster. Her head visibly became bald.
Unfortunately, the "Holy Infant King" disappeared into the void in the next second.
Hobert glanced at the place where it disappeared, as if saying goodbye to an old friend.
After the black giant cross disappeared, the "Demoness of Catastrophe," who had regained her freedom, immediately chose to escape now, because she, who had obviously become bald, could no longer withstand a few more attacks from the enemy.
Dozens of mirrors suddenly appeared on the battlefield, each with a dark world behind it.
The "Demoness of Catastrophe" immediately leaped into a mirror, but the moment she entered the mirror, that mirror turned into a flowing stream of information.
Not only this mirror, but all the mirrors, the ground, and the flowers, plants, and trees in the distance all turned into streams of information.
This made Hobert feel as if he was in a virtual digital world.
The remaining venomous snakes on the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" head fell, and each falling venomous snake turned into a stream of information, disappearing into the sea of information.
At the same time, the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" also transformed into a stream of information, which reshaped its form, turning into a tower.
At the top of the tower was an eyeball composed of flames, and as soon as it formed, it looked at the "Demoness of Catastrophe" on the battlefield.
The "Demoness of Catastrophe", already a baldy, was using the "Mirror World" to avoid the invasion of surrounding information streams when suddenly, the shadow of that giant eye appeared in her eyes.
Countless pieces of knowledge suddenly flooded her mind.
"Ah!" She screamed, covering her eyes, but it was useless. Endless knowledge continued to manifest in her mind, causing her eyeballs to spin wildly, as if trying to see the full picture of this knowledge.
At this moment, she was unable to think at all. Like a stress reaction, her skin cracked, and strands of black hair squeezed out from her muscles.
These hairs quickly surrounded her, but soon all the hair turned into information streams, flowing into the ocean of information streams on the battlefield.
"Magnify!" Hobert magnified the damage suffered by the "Demoness of Catastrophe", followed by "Madness!"
Completely exploding the "Demoness of Catastrophe's" thoughts, causing her to lose all reason.
Instinctive reactions made her want to crawl away from the burning giant eye.
The limbs of the "Demoness of Catastrophe" became dull and quickly began to petrify.
Petrification was not the ability of the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch", but a self-preservation mechanism of the "Demoness of Catastrophe". After petrification, she would not turn into an information stream, and she wouldn't have to deal with the massive amount of knowledge in her mind.
It's just that the "Demoness of Catastrophe" couldn't care about what to do after petrification.
Even after being petrified, her escape continued.
Creak~
The "Demoness of Catastrophe" distorted her stiff legs and continued to escape, but she still couldn't escape the nightmare of being dominated by the giant eye.
When her limbs were broken, she rolled away.
But the petrification continued, and soon her torso was petrified. She used her teeth to grip the ground to escape. Finally, her head was completely petrified. The "Demoness of Catastrophe" let out a very unwilling cry, and finally remained motionless on the ground.
The information streams on the battlefield gradually receded, revealing the original appearance of the battlefield. The tower transformed from the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" also became illusory.
The burning giant eye glanced at Hobert and disappeared into the void.
These two angel-level combatants completed their final mission, and the last trace of their remaining spirits also disappeared into the void.
On the ground of the battlefield, only a shriveled umbilical cord and a black stone with an eye relief remained.
Hobert withdrew his gaze and looked at the already petrified "Demoness of Catastrophe".
Crack~
The statue seemed to sense Hobert's gaze and cracked from the middle, revealing a delicate and beautiful porcelain doll inside.
Its hair was long, reaching down to its legs, with each strand very clear.
Its appearance was sweet, and with a lift of its lips, it suddenly let out a "giggle" laugh.
Hobert thought this was a "Substitution" of the "Demoness of Catastrophe", but his spirituality suddenly sensed something and looked towards the edge of the battlefield.
There, a poisonous snake suddenly crawled out of the ground, jumped into a mirror, and disappeared without a trace.
Because they were too far apart, Hobert didn't have time to stop it.
After a little thought, he understood that this "Demoness of Catastrophe" was already in a very bad state, and the final blow from the "Holy Infant King" and the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" was completely beyond her tolerance. Subsequently, her spirit basically collapsed, so she petrified.
Petrification was not death, so the "Demoness of Catastrophe" couldn't be resurrected.
When the huge mental pressure disappeared, the remaining consciousness and divinity of the "Demoness of Catastrophe" decided to cut off her tail to survive, abandoning the petrified body and transforming into a poisonous snake to escape from here.
But what she could take away was probably only the characteristic of Sequence 3.
Because the statue no longer had a human form or divinity, it was equivalent to only having the characteristic and some remaining spirits, so they formed that porcelain doll-like Sealed Artifact.
This should be the highest-level trophy in this battle. Hobert was about to return to the real world to pick it up, but suddenly found a mirror appearing next to the porcelain doll, and a very beautiful hand stretched out from the mirror to pick up the porcelain doll.
"Distortion!" Hobert immediately distorted the position of the porcelain doll with a stone.
The beautiful hand grabbed the stone, paused slightly, and looked a little frustrated and threw the stone on the ground.
"Frenzy!" Hobert used his Beyonder power towards a ball of air. He could sense that the ball of air immediately stopped.
At this time, a firelight rushed down from the mountain. It was Raymond. He punched the stopped ball of air.
Crash~
The air shattered into a mirror, and Sherry's figure appeared in Hobert's vision.
He glanced at Raymond, then became illusory, as if to disappear from the real world.
"Distortion!" Hobert filled in time, distorting the other party's thoughts.
So Sherry, who was preparing to escape, became solid again and lay on the ground doing push-ups.
Raymond was stunned: Is "Creator" so wicked?
Thinking about it, his attack was not slow at all. The long sword burning with scarlet flames reappeared in his hand and stabbed towards Sherry's lower back.
"Disorder!" Pedi, who arrived in time, caused the space around Sherry to become chaotic. Raymond's sword missed and hit a stone next to Sherry.
"Distortion!" Beverly, who followed, "distorted" the concept of Sherry and the stone, so this sword still stabbed Sherry.
Bang~
Only a wooden staff remained in place. Sherry used the "Substitute" to escape and entered the "Stealth" state again.
Whoosh~
The staff burned violently under Raymond's sword.
"Connection!" Hobert "associated" Sherry with the staff.
Whoosh~
Sherry, who was in a state of invisibility, quickly burst into violent flames.
"Distortion!" Pedi distorted the concept of Sherry with another stone, so Sherry escaped, and the stone was quickly burned into lime.
At this time, Sherry, who had already escaped to the surroundings of the battlefield, suddenly raised her hair, forming a net burning with black flames.
Then her figure quickly disappeared into the void, and Hobert and others did not continue to attack.
Because they knew that the net could block extraordinary powers to a certain extent, creating an opportunity for her escape.
Although Sherry looked fine on the surface, she had been injured in the previous battle under the close cooperation of the Beverly siblings, so she was so determined to escape.
After Sherry left, Hobert and others turned their attention to Pedi.
At this time, Pedi's figure also became illusory. He also had a Sealed Artifact on his body to quickly escape the battlefield.
"Arrogance!" "Provocation!" These siblings were another combination skill, first making Pedi "arrogant", and then easily affected by Raymond's "provocation".
Pedi, who was becoming illusory, really glared angrily, but he "distorted" his thinking in advance, and regardless of any accidents, he would choose to escape the battlefield first.
So Pedi, who looked angry, eventually disappeared from the battlefield.
Beverly and Raymond did not hesitate. After bowing slightly to the image of the "Creator", Beverly returned to her coffin. The "Tree of Order" also quickly disappeared at this time, turning into a wooden stick that could be seen everywhere in the forest.
Beverly closed the coffin lid, and Raymond turned into a fire man again. They immediately went to assist the Tony family.
Having experienced countless battles, they knew very well that even in a three-on-two situation, it would be difficult to prevent an enemy in a normal state from escaping.
Hobert glanced at the distant battlefield, and found that the previous battlefields had already moved far away.
In fact, when April and other reinforcements arrived, the counterattack launched by the Demoness Sect immediately turned into a retreat.
Currently, the distant battlefield has already formed a large-scale pursuit.
Hobert withdrew his gaze, immediately returned to the real world, and then quickly used "Distortion" to come to the battlefield just now.
Before he was far from the porcelain doll, Hobert heard his "giggle" laughter. This laughter caused Hobert to have hallucinations. First, Fors, wearing pajamas, appeared in front of him, her good figure bulging out her pajamas, lazily staring at Hobert.
Then Audrey's figure appeared, wearing only a gauze dress, her perfect figure shining faintly under the black gauze dress, like a delicate work of art.
When they appeared together, Hobert's heart beat faster, and he almost forgot that he was on the battlefield at this time.
"Disorder!" Hobert, his face flushed, made the space around the porcelain doll chaotic, effectively blocking the "giggle" laughter.
After all, it was just a Sealed Artifact, not a real angel, so it was difficult to deal with slightly complicated situations.
Hobert set up an altar far away from the porcelain doll, and then immediately entered the "Nation of Disorder" to capture the porcelain doll.
Hobert finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was only a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact of the Angel level, it was still a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, a very scarce resource in this extraordinary world. He could only relax when it was placed in the "Nation of Disorder."
Also sacrificed at the same time were the umbilical cord and the black eyeball that had lost all vitality.
Hobert put them away behind the "Iron Throne" as a memento.
Then, Hobert continued to reap the rewards of victory.
… …
On a distant mountain, the angel war that had just ended could be seen very clearly.
A little boy, about ten years old, with his hands behind his back like a little adult, looked at the snow and deep cracks on the ground left over from the battle just now.
Behind him, a man in his thirties, with black hair and strictly symmetrical body on the left and right sides, stood respectfully behind him like a wax figure: "Sir, do you need me to expose Hobert's trick?"
"There is no need." The little boy said in a somewhat childish voice: "Let's go, we have more important things to do."
The two people, one large and one small, disappeared into the void.
… …
Hobert found the "Demoness of Unaging" who was still being watched by the "Bull Devil Monarch". At this time, the figure of the "Bull Devil Monarch" also became very illusory and was about to disappear.
It was believed that the current state of the "Great Sage" and the others was similar.
So Hobert first took back the "Great Sage" and the black hound spirit beast who were chasing the enemy on the front line. After replenishing their energy, they replaced the "Bull Devil Monarch".
Then Hobert took back the "Bull Devil Monarch", because it only had one last chance to be used, so Hobert did not continue to let it participate in the war, but used his own stars to descend the power of the 'Creator'.
At this time, the "Demoness of Black" Clarice was already on the verge of losing control. In the previous siege by Hobert and Bernadette, her condition was already very bad, so she had not been able to get rid of the pursuit of the "Bull Devil Monarch".
Now, under the attacks of the "Great Sage" and the black hound spirit beast, Clarice's condition became even worse.
When the image of the "Creator" appeared in the air, her spirit basically collapsed.
"Magnify!" Hobert magnified the out-of-control state of the "Demoness of Black".
Using the level of the "Creator" to deal with the "Demoness of Black" was somewhat of a dimensionality reduction strike. Clarice froze in place and immediately lost control! Her hair suddenly flew up, and snake-like scales appeared on her body. Her limbs became hairy, thin, and long, like four spider legs.
The "Great Sage" struck Clarice with a thunderbolt, scorching her skin black.
The black hound spirit beast summoned the "Ferryman's Lamp", burning her soul.
Then the "Great Sage" used a wind blade again, and a lot of the "Demoness of Black's" hair was cut off.
The black hound spirit beast used the "Language of the Dead", and Clarice's body became very stiff.
Under their repeated attacks and the gaze of the "Creator", the "Demoness of Black's" life gradually faded away, and finally fell to the ground and completely lost her vitality.
The most critical moment was coming. Hobert used all the power he could muster and used the ability of "Connection".
This was the inspiration he got when he was dealing with Sherry just now.
"Connection" can not only strengthen the connection between the two, but also cut off the connection!
For example, right now, what Hobert cut off was the connection between the "Demoness of Black" and her arrangements for resurrection.
"Ah—" A shrill scream suddenly came from the air. Hobert saw Clarice's spirit body reappear in his field of vision because the relevant connections had been cut off.
She was like a lonely ghost without a home, wandering around her corpse with a face full of grief and anger.
At this time, the black hound spirit beast summoned the "Gate of the Spirit World" with intricate mysterious patterns, and sent Clarice's spirit body into the underworld.
Hobert smiled slightly: Success!
Although the resurrection of the "Demoness of Unaging" seemed more difficult to prevent than the resurrection of the "Miracle Invoker", under the authority of the King of Angels, it was entirely possible to cut off her resurrection process.
If it was Sequence 3's "Connection", then such an operation could not be completed.
Hobert even estimated that even Sequence 2's "Connection" could only make the "Demoness of Unaging's" resurrection very abnormal, such as only resurrecting a part of her.
But there was no way to completely cut off her resurrection process.
Hobert returned to the real world to pick up the spoils of war. The "Demoness of Black's" corpse formed a Sealed Artifact in the shape of an all-black ring.
After sacrificing it to the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert took the black hound spirit beast and the "Great Sage" and joined the sequence of chasing the enemy.
This pursuit continued from the southwest of the Central Highlands, within the territory of the Intis Republic, to the territory of Feysac, and finally to the northeast of the Central Highlands, within the territory of the Loen Kingdom.
Although the Central Highlands had a sparse population, many ordinary people witnessed this pursuit. However, the Beyonders on the "Creator's" side became more and more excited as they chased, and they could no longer care so much.
The Demoness Sect and Theosophy Order members who were deserters had even less time to care about these things.
So this pursuit attracted the attention of many forces. There were those who kicked them when they were down, helping the pursuers to besiege the members of the Demoness Sect.
The pursuit did not end until dusk. There must have been some fish that slipped through the net, but the pre-set war goals had been achieved, and the battle could be ended. It was also impossible for the Beyonder forces of Loen and other countries to continue to condone this war.
Although it was not yet time to count the results of the battle and the captured spoils of war, both sides of the war, and even the Beyonder organizations watching the battle, were very clear that the Demoness Sect must have suffered a heavy blow this time.
… …
Outside Feysac City, in a huge manor.
Ethel, with short hair and dressed in a military uniform, with some "androgynous beauty", reported all the intelligence collected today to Castiya, who was sitting on the chair at the head.
This was a simply decorated hall, without too much luxury, but everything here gave people a harmonious beauty between the furniture, decorations, and the house.
Philip I Castiya, who looked very amiable, instructed in a tone that could not be heard whether he was happy or angry: "Next, focus on investigating the battle between the angels of both sides!"
Ethel respectfully said: "Yes."
Then she asked: "Your Majesty, will the power of the 'Creator' threaten us?"
"If they wanted to threaten us, they would have threatened us long ago." Philip I thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps the 'Creator' only needs the stable state of the Southern Colson region, but His goal is not here."
Ethel thought about it and felt that it made sense. With the strength that the "Creator" had shown so far, the Feysac royal family was not their opponent at all.
Philip I sighed and said: "I didn't expect it! The 'Creator's' power is so strong that they actually have an advantage in terms of numbers and sequences in the battle with the Demoness Sect!"
He smiled and said: "In this way, giving the Southern Colson region to Hobert was a very cost-effective transaction. It did not become an unstable factor in the Feysac Kingdom, but instead activated the kingdom's economy."
"The most important thing is that Hobert has been bound to Feysac to a certain extent."
Speaking of this, Philip I felt that his wording was inappropriate, shook his head and said again: "It is too early to say 'Chained'. Next, we must take the initiative to get closer to Hobert."
Ethel said again: "Yes."
Then she said: "I suggest that we cancel the original plan to probe the 'Creator'."
Philip I said: "It should be cancelled. If we probe again now, it will only bring shame and disaster to the family."
"Let those family members who sincerely want to believe in the 'Creator' pray to the 'Creator' and allow them to build altars about the 'Creator'."
"Lift all restrictions on trade with Southern Colson, reward Hobert for his contribution to combating the Demoness Sect, and strictly investigate members and forces of the Demoness Sect in the country!"
He solemnly instructed: "We must express the royal family's position and goodwill."
Ethel agreed, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, she left the hall.
Philip I sat alone in the hall for a while before exhaling a long breath and saying: "If, if I had more than twenty demigods in my hands hundreds of years ago…"
If that were the case, how could the Feysac Kingdom have split? How could it have accepted the agreements signed between the churches?
He looked at the moonlight outside the window and sighed in his heart: From today onwards, all churches and organizations will no longer dare to regard the "Creator's" power as a secret organization on the level of the Aurora Order far away in the Southern Continent!
A brand new era may begin from this!
… …
Late at night, Southern Colson.
Inside and outside the courtyard of the Lord's Mansion, there was laughter everywhere.
The personnel from all forces have already returned, but some Beyonders returned as corpses and Beyonder characteristics.
Hobert promised to help all the forces to pulverize the Beyonder characteristics, but that's a matter for tomorrow.
Tonight, everyone is drinking and celebrating the great victory just achieved!
Each force knows its own battle losses, and each organization has lost some Beyonders.
But this still can't stop everyone's excitement, because today their gains are also very rich!
In the study of the Lord's Mansion, Hobert is talking with Archbishop Simpson.
Simpson mainly came to inquire about the battle situation on the front line today. After listening, Simpson drew a leaf shape on his chest and sighed: "This victory is so great that it is unimaginable."
Mainly, he didn't expect that the "Creator" would send four angels to participate in the war!
You know, the Earth Mother Church only has three angels!
"This is thanks to everyone's cooperation." Hobert smiled politely, then he asked curiously: "There are two gestures representing the Earth Mother, right?"
Simpson was slightly taken aback: "Yes."
Then he explained: "A long time ago, the popular prayer gesture was to draw the shape of a leaf."
"Until 24 years ago, the Earth Mother descended a divine decree and began to use the gesture of holding a baby with crossed hands."
"However, the church has not prohibited the use of the original prayer gestures."
Hobert was stunned for a moment and then asked: "What is the specific date of the divine decree?"
"April 25th." Simpson was very impressed with this.
Hobert was a little surprised.
Simpson asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Hobert smiled, feeling a little flattered: "That day happens to be my birthday."
And he is exactly 24 years old this year!
It's just that Hobert doesn't have much impression of this birthday. For example, this year, when he was in Backlund's "social season", he was so busy all day long. Melissa sent someone to bring him a cake, and Fors also came to Backlund to celebrate his birthday. He remembered this thing.
Simpson didn't take it too seriously. He smiled and said, "What an unexpected coincidence."
Hobert didn't seem to take it too seriously either: "Yes."
Then Simpson took out the spoils he and the Druid elite team had seized today. According to the previous agreement, the Sealed Artifacts seized today belonged to Simpson.
And the Beyonder characteristics of the "Witch" pathway are not very useful to them, so they used these Beyonder characteristics to trade with Hobert for the Beyonder characteristics of the "Planter" pathway in his hand.
Although Hobert said it was collected by the auction house, it was mainly the spoils from Archibald when solving the Boklun Mountain Village incident that year.
After sending Simpson away, Hobert sat back in his chair. The first thing he thought of was his mother April's connection with the Earth Mother Church. She must not be just an ordinary Beyonder of the church.
At this moment, the butler Allen came to report: "Sir, Mr. Christian is here."
Hobert hurried out to greet him. After the two returned to the study and sat down again, Christian told Hobert that he was going to leave in a while.
Hobert smiled and said to persuade him to stay: "The harvest festival will be held on the other side the day after tomorrow, and it will also be a celebration of this victory. Why don't you stay and join in the fun?"
"I am no longer young." Christian said with a smile, while taking out today's spoils.
Hobert quickly said: "These are all yours. You are the only demigod I have not promised to give any reward to, but I have asked you to come and help. The spoils should belong to you."
Christian smiled: "If you want to give me any reward, I won't come to help."
He pushed the spoils in Hobert's direction: "I left 1 Sealed Artifact and 1 Beyonder characteristic of 'Traveler', and all the others are for you."
Christian said in an unquestionable tone: "You are now managing such a large Beyonder organization, and there are places to use Beyonder characteristics."
Hobert did not decline any more, but asked the servant to serve a pot of new tea, and said to Christian: "In July last year, I ran into a subordinate of the 'Creator', who was a Sequence 3 Beyonder of the demigod level…"
He had already made up his rhetoric, but he had never had the opportunity to talk to Christian about it.
Hobert told Christian that the "Creator" subordinate he met was a Sequence 3 "Ferryman" of the "Death" pathway.
In fact, he was talking about Mr. Azik. Christian also knew about Mr. Azik's exploration of the ruins with Hobert last year.
But now that Hobert mentioned this matter, he deliberately let the Black Demonic Wolf replace Mr. Azik. After all, a "Ferryman" was active on the battlefield today, which could easily make Christian have corresponding associations.
Christian smiled after listening to Hobert's words: "This is an opportunity for you!"
"Yes, it is an opportunity for me." Hobert followed this topic and said half-truthfully: "Thanks to the 'Creator's' help, I was able to talk to the curse in my bloodline.
"It turns out that this so-called curse is a resurrection method of Trunsoest!"
Christian pinched his chin: "Rex's guess is correct!"
Then he said again: "It seems that I don't need to tell you about his guesses."
"Now I have encountered a problem." Hobert told the truth: "Only by continuing to advance can I eliminate the curse in my bloodline, but the moment I advance to Sequence 2, Trunsoest will wake up in my body.
"And I have consulted the members of the 'Life School of Thought', and my fate has been changed once, and it cannot be changed again."
Christian pondered for more than half a minute before asking Hobert: "Do you have any ideas?"
"Not at all." Hobert said.
Christian pondered for a while before saying: "Let me go back and think about it."
Hobert smiled: "It's not very urgent, we can talk about this topic another day."
Then he asked: "Father, was my biological mother always a Beyonder of the Earth Mother Church before she gave birth to me?"
"She was also an official Beyonder of the Earth Mother Church for a period of time after you were born." Christian asked: "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Hobert said: "I just feel a little confused about her sudden jump to the adjacent pathway."
"There's nothing to be confused about." Christian said seriously: "She has been affected by the evil god, don't trust her completely."
Hobert nodded. After the two chatted for a few more words and sent Christian away, Hobert fell into deep thought again: Obviously, Christian didn't know the inside story either.
But Hobert put this question aside for now, because the war was won, and there were too many things that required him, the initiator, to worry about.
Next, Klein came to Hobert, and he was also here to say goodbye.
Hobert smiled and said: "I will pay you as soon as possible for your reward.
"But it is estimated that the earliest will be next week's Tarot Gathering. I definitely won't have time to participate in the meeting tomorrow."
Klein said: "Don't worry, my potion has just begun to digest."
Hobert thought: Mine too.
In the subsequent pursuit, Hobert felt the digestion of the "Frenzied Mage" potion, and he didn't have time to summarize the reasons for the digestion until now, but it must be related to the extraordinary war he initiated.
Hobert asked again: "Are you coming the day after tomorrow?"
Klein asked back: "Is there a food street?"
"Definitely."
"Then I will definitely come."
The two smiled at each other.
It was already late at night after sending Klein away. The sound of celebration outside gradually faded. After all, everyone had fought for a day today, and even Beyonders, after a few drinks, the fatigue of the day also emerged.
Hobert waited for a while and saw that no one else was visiting, so he packed up the two batches of spoils he had received and came to the "Nation of Disorder".
Sitting on the "Iron Throne", he first took the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact in his hand.
This is the second Grade 0 Sealed Artifact of the "Creator"!
After a little sigh, Hobert used the authority of the "Nation of Disorder" to check the ability of the Sealed Artifact.
