Chapter 262: The Tarot Meeting's Exchange Session
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
As Audrey, the "Justice," greeted the audience, the tarot reading officially began.
After the greetings, "The Magician" Fors looked at the other members, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Gentlemen, I want to issue an assassination mission. However, I may not be able to pay or deliver the reward for this mission for several months."
"Judgment" Hugh glanced at her friend, not surprised by the turn of events.
Audrey readily agreed, saying, "You can tell me what the mission is first."
"Assassinate Butis, the 'Secret Saint' of the Aurora Society," Fors said in a deep voice.
The other members of the Tarot Club immediately looked at "The World," and then at "The Hermit."
Currently, only these two members of the Tarot Club are demigods, and only they have the potential to accept this task.
"The Hermit" Cattleya spoke first: "Demigods of the 'Apprentice' path are not easy to kill."
She was clearly not very interested in the task.
Then everyone looked at the "world".
Klein manipulated the "world" and said, "I'll probably have to stay in the 'Forsaken Land' for a few more months."
He was quite interested in the mission and confident that he could take down the enemy, but he simply "couldn't go back."
There is a compromise: Fors has the ability to "record" a large number of "aperture images" and tries to summon his historical aperture images multiple times. Once he succeeds, he can transfer his consciousness to this "aperture image" and carry out the assassination.
But in that case, all the spirituality used in battle would come from Fors.
Fors is currently a Sequence 5, and nobody knows how long he can hold out.
Just as "The Magician" Fors was feeling somewhat disappointed, "The Hermit" Cattleya said, "Perhaps you could gather information first and plan the assassination. If I feel confident, I can accept the mission."
Fors sat up straight immediately: "I'll ask Raphael to gather information and then try to devise an assassination plan."
Cattleya nodded, indicating that they would leave it at that for now.
Then the hall fell silent, clearly indicating that this tarot gathering had only this one transaction intention.
The tarot session then moved on to a discussion.
"The Hanged Man" Alger said first: "I received a message that a few days ago, 'Storm Abyss? Passu Island' suddenly displayed many miracles."
"This includes, but is not limited to, a tall, illusory giant appearing in the sky, and curved lightning forming several extraordinary symbols, etc."
"I didn't pay much attention to it at first, after all, it was the holy site of the Church of Storms, and the Lord of Storms would occasionally display His majesty there."
"But in the last few days I have received other news that miracles also occurred at the holy sites of the Church of Knowledge and the Church of the Eternal Sun on the same day and at the same time."
Finally, he said, "I always feel that there is some connection between this matter and something else."
"Does anyone have any information on this?"
The crowd either shook their heads or remained silent.
At this moment, "the world" suddenly asked, "What exactly is the time?"
Alger quickly replied, "Six days ago, around 2 p.m.
Klein manipulated the "world" to glance at "the sun" Derrick before saying, "During that time, an anomaly occurred in the 'Forsaken Land'."
"It was as if a small sun appeared on the ground, and its light traveled a great distance."
"The Sun," Derrick paused for a moment before recalling, "Mr. 'World,' are you referring to that sudden burst of light?"
"World" nodded: "Silver City is farther away from there, so we can only see the afterglow, but I did see what looked like a small sun appearing on the ground in the distance."
That was actually a scene caused by the battle between the "Lord of Evil Desire" and the "Star Monster".
Alger, the "Hanged Man," pondered for a moment and then said to "The World," "Do you think there's a connection between these two things?"
Klein, manipulating the "world," nodded: "The divine realm of the 'True Creator' is in the Forsaken Land.' Perhaps He did something that made the gods of neighboring paths notice something amiss or an influence, which is why those miracles occurred."
Alger nodded, finding the guess quite reasonable.
The other members also agreed with this guess.
This was indeed a reasonable guess, but Klein was unaware of some key clues, such as the fact that the "original" consciousness suddenly appeared for a second or two during that period.
The five paths to "omniscience and omnipotence" and the three paths to "mystery" are particularly sensitive to the appearance of the "original".
Klein, alerted by the "Source Castle," also sensed something was amiss and wanted to investigate further, but wondered if it was a trap set by Amon. So he hasn't decided whether to go or not yet.
However, since that direction was the direction of Chernobyl, and Klein was planning to go there to take a look, he decided to go there cautiously in the future to check it out.
This topic can only be discussed here for now due to a lack of further clues.
"Justice," Audrey took a deep breath before saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, I received some astonishing news yesterday."
"I'm not sure if this is accurate, so I wanted to discuss it with everyone."
Everyone looked toward "justice".
Audrey said, "The 'Goddess of the Night' was a member of the demon wolf tribe in ancient times!"
The room fell silent for a moment. After two seconds, Leonard, nicknamed "The Star," asked seriously, "Where did you get this information?"
The reason he didn't jump up immediately was because the old man inside him had previously discussed this topic and vaguely reminded Leonard that the "Goddess of the Night" was not human.
So much so that all the other members, except for "The World" and "The Sun," were more surprised than Leonard.
"Justice," Audrey replied, "I heard it from Raphael."
She paused for a moment and continued, "Do you all remember the oil painting I mentioned before, the one with the mysterious dream?"
"When we were exploring that painting, we encountered the phantom of the 'Goddess of Night' in a dream. Raphael told me that the 'Goddess of Night' was actually a follower of the 'Destruction Wolf,' and was once a high-ranking wolf."
The other members were mostly lost in thought. After entering the Third Age, the concept of the world being human-centered had been established, which can be seen from the fact that the six gods had human forms in the Fourth Age.
If you want to develop followers among the human race, you can't look so frightening to humans.
So from that time onwards, everyone assumed that gods must be human.
But today's news about "justice" has made them seriously consider this issue. Gods have almost infinite lifespans and must have appeared a very, very long time ago. Another fact is that extraordinary beings were the mainstream in the early Second Age.
At this moment, "The World" said, "This news is accurate."
