Odis knew very well that as long as he opened the "Eye of the Secret," he could see the battle between Adam and Ouroles, or at least see the Church of Adam's Bones.
But he didn't do that because it was dangerous.
Although he now possesses divinity and is no longer subjected to severe mental shocks when he sees mythical creatures, the aftershocks of the battle between the two "Angel Kings" can still severely injure a demigod.
So upon seeing Ince Zangwell appear, Odis quickly "teleported" to the edge of the square to continue observing.
Just as Odis found a good spot to watch the show, he noticed a deep black light that appeared out of nowhere, covering the entire sky and making the whole square extremely dark.
The change was fleeting, and everything around returned to normal in an instant.
Having read the "script," Odis realized that this was a "curse of doom" cast by Klein, and the "Goddess of Night" was beginning to influence the battle here.
Then Ince Zangwell stood there, his expression contorted, taking steps forward and then back again, as if he didn't know how to walk.
At this moment, the spell began to work, and the evil spirit within Ince Zangwell suddenly seized control of his body.
Several thunderclaps suddenly rang out in the sky. The huge thunder seemed to jolt the people around them awake. They seemed to see a storm rapidly approaching Resurrection Square, and they quickly left the area.
Anderson and Danitz finally snapped out of their strange state and, having no time to worry about the battlefield not far away, quickly left the square.
That was Klein using the "Scepter of Poseidon" to drive away the ordinary people in the Resurrection Square, because the upcoming battle would be dangerous for them.
The battle between Adam and Ouroboros is at a very high level, and is also blocked by the "Church of Bones," so it doesn't have much impact on ordinary people.
However, the demigod battle that will follow later is likely to cause a large number of casualties among ordinary people.
Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged from a hidden spot at the edge of the empty square. He was a half-human, half-human, half-human, half-human, with some fat on his face, loose clothes, and a thin sword at his waist.
This is Klein's "secret doll," formerly known as "Admiral Ludwell."
Ludwell raised his hand toward Ince Zangwell, and a phantom bronze gate materialized, followed by a figure appearing above Zangwell's head.
That was the evil spirit inside Zangwell. Although he also wanted to get rid of the evil spirit, not now!
Ince Zangwell was once a "Gatekeeper" and possessed the abilities of a "Gatekeeper." After becoming a Sequence 4 "Night Watchman," his abilities through the "Death" pathway underwent a qualitative change.
Logically speaking, "The Puppet" Ludwell should be no match for Zangwell, but Zangwell was so unlucky that he made several mistakes and almost fell for "Admiral Hell"!
At that moment, two figures suddenly appeared beside Ludwell: one was Leonard Mitchell, with black hair and blue eyes, wearing transparent gloves, and the other was Daly Simone, with blue eyeshadow and the same blush.
When Daly saw Ince Zangwell, her eyes instantly blazed with hatred.
However, she did not act blindly. She observed the situation first, then came behind Ludwell and opened her arms.
Suddenly, a bronze gate with countless strange patterns appeared, and with a creak, it cracked open.
This is the gate to the underworld, a gate that holds irresistible allure for all undead creatures!
The figure above Ince Zangwell's head completely separated, revealing a semi-transparent man in blood-black armor. He was young and handsome, with red hair, deep, bone-revealing rotten marks on his face, and a flag-like mark between his brows.
Odis, who was standing at the edge of the square as a spectator, took a slight breath: "Red Angel" Medici!
To be precise, it is a mixed evil spirit of Medici and two other "Conquerors"!
However, these three evil spirits shared Medici's appearance. Regarding his current predicament, he suddenly smirked and said, "I'm having a really bad day, you two. We've already died together before, is it really necessary to go through this again? Especially being controlled by such a weakling."
His left cheek was injured, with a bloody gash: "Okay, let's clean up the trash around here first..."
Before he could finish speaking, Medici had already reached out and drawn a phantom longsword with dark red rust from his body.
Daly and Leonard immediately felt immense mental pressure. Medici easily broke free from Ludwell and Daly's control, and suddenly fell, attempting to return to Ince Zangwell's body.
Just then, Ludwell suddenly uttered solemnly in ancient Hermes: "Destiny!"
He used the "Fate Thief" spell to briefly steal Ince Zangwell's fate. Now, it is "The Puppet" Ludwell who is destined to be possessed by the evil spirit "Red Angel," not Zangwell.
This caused Medici to fall into the body of "Hell Admiral" in an instant.
On one side of the plaza, in a hotel room, Klein calmly manipulated the "Puppet," put on the Requiem Mask, and jumped into the "Gate to the Underworld" opened by Daly.
Daly instantly understood Klein's intention and quickly closed the bronze door covered with mysterious symbols.
Clang!
The uncertainty surrounding Ince Zangwell has been resolved!
While Zangwell was still in a daze, Leonard's gaze suddenly turned cold. He threw the "Fortune Thief" spell at Zangwell, temporarily stealing his fate once again.
Leonard then took out a revolver he had prepared beforehand, which contained bullets capable of extinguishing spirituality, pointed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.
This was the best way he could think of to use the "Lucky Thief" charm to leave the fate of suicide to Zangwell.
But at that moment, countless bolts of lightning suddenly struck the square, shattering the surrounding darkness. Leonard seemed to snap out of his daze and found himself standing in the same spot, the "Lucky Thief" talisman still in his hand.
What he just did was just a dream.
At this moment, a dark ripple was in Ince Zangwell's eyes. In fact, he had been creating a wide-ranging dream world ever since Medici was removed from his body.
Although it was a dream, Zangwell witnessed Leonard's determination for revenge and saw the terrifying lightning forest, and his spirituality was subjected to an unprecedented crisis.
Moreover, in a corner of the Resurrection Square, the battle between the two "Angel Kings" could spill over at any moment, or determine a victor.
Without hesitation, Ince Zangwell pulled Leonard and Daly back into the dream world, then picked up the "Alshogod Pen" and wrote on the fabric of his clothes on his arm:
"Ince Zangwill is in excellent condition today and can effectively control his mythical creature form, so he has decided to go all out and use all his strength to escape from here!"
As the quill pen made its final stroke, Ince Zangwell's body underwent a transformation.
His eyes instantly turned deep black, and strange, twisted, mysterious symbols appeared around him. His clothes swelled up around his waist and ribs, and four skinless arms wrapped with blood vessels sprouted from them.
The arm was quickly covered with white feathers, exuding an aura of tranquility.
Meanwhile, Ince Zangwell's teeth grew longer one by one, their surfaces inlaid with numerous blurry, tiny human faces.
In the blink of an eye, the "night watchman" had collapsed to the ground and transformed into a strange monster with eight legs and white feathers.
Daly and Leonard lost their lives rapidly in their sleep.
Odis then drew the "Staff of Guth": "The semi-mythical creature that jumped through the path, it looks really ugly!"
He was ready to make his move, even though his mission was to strike while the enemy was fleeing.
Odis knew very well that Klein hoped to use his own strength, along with Leonard's and Daly's, to complete his revenge.
But what follows will be very dangerous for them, as Odis plans to attack Ince Zangwell head-on, creating an opportunity for Klein and the others.
Although both are Sequence 4, Zangwell, now in a semi-mythical creature state, is more powerful than Odis.
Moreover, Zangwell had already written illogical "plots" twice in a row using "0-08". The first time, he even had an "Angel King" suddenly appear in the Resurrection Square without leaving any "foreshadowing".
Adding to the misfortune that befell the other party at this time, "0-08" will not only fail to become a helper after this, but will instead start to do more harm than good.
The timing he chose was the best time to strike.
The light from the tip of the "Guth Staff" in Odis's hand flashed, and a phantom giant figure passed over Odis, crashing into Ince Zangwill with such speed that it left afterimages.
Thump~
The ugly Zangwell was thrown into the air, his dark body trembling violently from the impact, and Leonard and Daly immediately woke up.
Mythological Magic: Kuafu Chasing the Sun - A Wild Run!
Klein, who was standing "above the gray fog" and holding the "Scepter of Poseidon" and about to strike Zangwell with lightning, paused for a moment: What was that that just ran past?
How did Zangwell get knocked away in the blink of an eye? His "sleep" ability was even "shattered"!
It wasn't that "True Sight" was unusable, but rather that Klein's gaze was fixed on the "Scepter of Poseidon" just now, and by the time he turned his head, the afterimage had already disappeared!
Odis shouted to Daly and Leonard, "Don't open your eyes!"
Upon hearing the warning, the two "Red Gloves" members immediately closed their eyes, their spiritual senses also sensing the danger in the square!
Fortunately, they realized that it was Odis Garr who told them not to open their eyes! The "pirate general" who was favored by the "goddess" and had a deep cooperation with the Church of the Goddess of Night.
Zangwell was also stunned; his opponent's movements were too fast, and he had no time to react.
However, while he was still in mid-air, circles of dark light rippled around him, and his jet-black eyes looked at Odis.
Odis immediately felt her eyelids grow heavy, as if she were about to fall asleep standing up at any moment.
He fought off his drowsiness and quickly pulled out the "Disaster Scepter," and several tornadoes with deep blue wind blades blew toward Zangwell.
Sizzle~
The sharp "wind blades" dismembered Zangwell's body, and the severed limbs flew from mid-air to the ground.
But the moment those severed limbs hit the ground, Odis sneered. The head of the "Gus Staff" shimmered with a soft light, and two colorful, illusory wings suddenly sprouted from his back.
At the same time, Odis's eyes were filled with wisdom, and he immediately distinguished between the dream and reality.
The Magic of Idioms: Zhuangzi's Dream of a Butterfly!
When this ability is used on others, it will make the target unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
However, if used on oneself, it can immediately free one from the dream.
Odis's beautiful wings were rapidly withering. He saw Zangwell had landed on the ground and was trying to escape, but was blocked by flashes of lightning, and had to return to the square again and again.
That was Klein using the "Scepter of Poseidon" to attack, but the negative effects of that sealed artifact were too great, so he could only use it "above the gray fog" and dared not bring it into the real world.
Odis smiled and asked Zangwell, "Friend, are you unable to use the power of misfortune?"
Zangwell, who was crawling rapidly on the ground, paused for a moment. He was also a little surprised, as he had just been preparing to launch a doom attack on Odis.
But for some reason, I suddenly can't use the ability of misfortune anymore.
Odis laughed and said, "Because the god who holds the power of 'misfortune' gave you misfortune, but at the same time took away your ability to control misfortune!"
Whether it was Klein "above the gray fog" or Leonard and Daly in the square, they were all surprised to hear these words.
Leonard and Daly, in particular, both knew that Odis was "the favored one of the goddesses," and they even believed that what Odis said was equivalent to the "goddess's" judgment on the traitors!
Zangwell listened with trepidation. He knew very well the power of the gods. The fact that the "Goddess of Night" hadn't bothered with him, a heretic, gave him the illusion that the "goddess" didn't care about such mundane matters.
But today is different. The "goddess" is using her authority to weaken herself and prevent "0-08" from playing a significant role!
Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. As he ran, he used one of his legs to write "0-08":
"An unknown entity was drawn to the battle and, feeling great sympathy for Ince Zangwell's plight, decided to help him and take him away from the spirit world!"
Zangwell knew very well that the series of illogical arrangements would make the backlash after "0-08" even more severe, and he would be on the verge of danger for a long time, but he couldn't care less about that now.
As the other person finished writing the last letter, the Resurrection Square, already covered with scorch marks and cracks, suddenly darkened.
Daly keenly sensed that unknown creatures were traversing the spirit world and approaching this area. A bad premonition immediately welled up in her heart, as if she could already see Ince Zangwell easily escaping using this unexpected change.
A sudden chill ran through her body, as if she had returned to the time when she had just become an Extraordinary.
It was Dunn Smith who made her feel warmth amidst her panic and confusion. It was as if he was always there beside her, gently listening to her story and silently offering help.
He was a man who sincerely tolerated all his teammates' shortcomings, a man who was often at a loss when teased by his own jokes, a man who liked to hide his pain and sorrow in his heart so much that his hairline receded early, and a man who would definitely be the first to stand up and protect his teammates when danger came.
However, she still didn't have the chance to witness the man master the acting method, digest the potion, and advance to Sequence 6. She didn't have the chance to participate in the final battle of his life, nor did she have the chance to tell him her innermost feelings.
Last time, I missed out, and I didn't have time for anything. Today, I don't want that to happen again...
Dai Li's expression turned sad, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up. She suddenly pulled a small metal bottle from inside her clothes, threw away the stopper, and gulped down the liquid inside.
Her blue eyeshadow and blush suddenly became vibrant, even making her skin appear more translucent: "A spirit roaming the void..."
At this moment, when Dai Li opened her eyes, she found that a figure suddenly appeared in the illusory spirit world. The figure quickly solidified and was a very tall man who looked to be in his twenties and had a cheerful smile.
Odis Gard!
That's an oversized Odysseus Gar!
Daly suddenly woke up and found herself still with her eyes closed, holding a metal bottle in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, her spirituality brought to mind an image of Odis standing motionless, pointing her ancient staff at a dark object.
The dark object, along with her and Leonard, remained motionless. Everything in the square seemed to freeze, except for the continuous thunderclaps that struck the dark object again and again.
Daly immediately realized that the dark object was Zangwell. It seemed that Odis had used some kind of ability just now, which made everyone pause for two or three seconds!
Her guess was correct; it was Odis's "mysterious reappearance": a mythological magic story: watching the chess pieces rot away.
Odis currently cannot immediately drag the target into a "watching the game" state with this "reproduction" ability; he needs to attract the target's attention in some way.
That's why Odis brought up the topic of "misfortune" abilities, attracting Ince Zangwill's attention and successfully drawing him into a "spectator" state.
This state has two effects. First, it causes the flow of time in the target concept to be different from that of real time, by about two seconds.
In other words, the target feels that only one second has passed, but in fact three seconds have passed, thus causing a brief confusion in the target's awareness.
Secondly, it will briefly put the target into a "chess-watching" state. This is not an illusion or a dream, but rather the target's prediction of the next few seconds, which is rehearsed in the brain.
When the target sees that the scene before them is suddenly completely unexpected, it means that the target's spirituality and subconscious are already retaliating, and the other party will immediately wake up from the state of "observing the game".
Daly and Leonard had also heard Odis's words, so they also entered a state of "observing the game." However, Odis's main target was Zangwell, so the two "middle-order" individuals woke up first.
The overall effect of this ability is that the target will pause there for about three seconds, even for Sequence 3 targets.
The only problem is that Odis also has to "stay" there, so this ability can only be used when there are allies and the enemy is slightly stronger than oneself.
However, given Odis's level of understanding, it's impossible for him to drag "0-08" into a "spectator" state as well, so what Ince Zangwell wrote was indeed written.
From the spirit world emerged a bizarre being with countless eyes and arms of different races.
However, before they could take Zangwell away, they were driven away by Klein's messenger, Renette Tinicol.
Klein, who was above the gray fog, was unaffected. All the lightning bolts struck Zangwell, tearing his skin and flesh apart, and even severing a leg that had grown out of his armpit.
Zangwell only fully regained consciousness when his bones and internal organs were exposed to the air after being struck by lightning. He ran away again, but he was already seriously injured and his speed was much slower. Klein's lightning was close behind and was about to catch up.
As Zangwell ran for his life, he wrote "0-08" on his still-intact body: "Another unknown entity has been attracted and has come to the vicinity, attempting to enter the real world..."
At this point, "0-08" paused for a moment, then continued writing on its own: "Here it comes, here it comes, it... It is Elbera Stiano, the messenger of Odis Gard!"
"He glanced at Resurrection Square, then took half of Ince Zangwell's life force and left."
"Ince Zangwell is so unlucky, so unlucky."
The moment the "0-08" code was written, the event itself occurred. Ellebella, dressed in hunting attire, happened to be passing by and noticed the high-level battle taking place there.
She glanced at the battle between Adam and Ullolius, then looked at Zangwell, made a grabbing motion in his direction, and finally waved to Odis before returning to the spirit world.
Odis smiled; he knew very well that Zangwell's misfortune was far from over.
Zangwell suddenly felt completely drained, as if he hadn't slept or rested for days!
Boom!
The massive bolt of lightning finally caught up and struck Zangwell heavily, causing him to roll over and let out a roar that was not human.
A flash of blood-red light appeared in his dark eyes, transforming them into two bloodthirsty, cruel, and insane orbs of light.
"0-08" slipped from Zangwell's hand, but continued to write on the ground: "Ince Zangwell could no longer control his emotions, could no longer maintain his composure, and lost most of his reason..."
The quill pen wrote more and more faintly until it finally stopped and fell to the ground.
Zangwell let out one chilling roar after another, pulling Daly and Leonard back into their dreams, only to be instantly jolted awake by the thunder and lightning that followed.
Odis gradually retreated to the edge of the square, once again becoming a bystander. After that, it was time for the Avengers to have their revelry.
Boom! Crack!
Exaggerated bolts of lightning struck, and Zangwell's injuries worsened. He went completely mad, no longer running away, but charging towards Daly and Leonard: "You're all going to die!"
Odis laughed and said, "Anyone can say harsh words."
"Everyone, give it your all, he's almost done for."
his number is up!
Upon hearing this, Leonard Mitchell gripped the talisman and revolver in his hands even tighter.
He longed to do his part again, but he dared not open his eyes, nor could he even lock onto Zangwell with his spirit.
At this moment, Leonard felt as if he had returned to Tingen City, back to Blackthorn Security Company, and back to his weak and powerless self.
He hated that version of himself and regretted not having worked harder sooner.
Now, he wants to get involved in the revenge, even if it's just to fire a shot at his enemy.
"Old man!" Leonard called out, but received no reply.
Pales Zoroaster had fallen into a deep sleep because the process of splitting the "Time Worm" was too difficult.
A name suddenly popped into Leonard's mind, and he hesitated whether to seek help from that mysterious being.
At that moment, he seemed to see Captain Dunn's figure, and he seemed to hear the other person say, "I forgot."
He took a deep breath and made a decision.
Leonard absolutely refused to stand there like an idiot at this moment!
He will never be able to forgive himself when he thinks about this again!
So he murmured in ancient Hermetic: "Fools who do not belong to this age;"
"The mysterious ruler above the gray fog;"
"The King of Yellow and Black, who holds the key to good fortune!"
As soon as the prayer ended, a strange image appeared in his mind:
Ince Zangwell, who appeared to have transformed into a spider or a feathered wolf, was running quickly to avoid lightning strikes and occasionally trying to attack himself or Daly.
Unlike normal images, Ince Zangwell's figure is quite blurry in this picture, and can only be used to identify his location.
Leonard was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.
The next second, without hesitation, he threw out the "Fortune Thief" talisman: "Destiny!"
He shouted, "Die, Ince Zangwell!"
Tears streamed down his face. He had waited for this sound for a very long time, rehearsing it countless times in his mind!
The moment the "Lucky Thief" charm left Leonard's cane, it vanished into thin air, dimming the positions of both him and Ince Zangwell.
Leonard immediately felt a tingling sensation on his skin, as if lightning was flashing across it, causing a needle-like, slight pain.
Bang!
Leonard, who had prepared the revolver, fired a mindless bullet that struck his temple, ripping off half of his skull.
His cheeks were streaked with tears, but he slowly collapsed to the ground with a carefree smile.
But in the next instant, their swapped fates returned to each other. Leonard's head quickly recovered, while Ince Zangwell's skull was flipped open, and part of his brain and brain matter spilled onto the ground.
Zangwell lay on the ground, struggling to get up several times but failing. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it! I should have killed you when you were unconscious back in Tingen!"
Bang!
Another shot rang out, and a pale golden bullet struck Zangwell, making him jump.
Then, tarot cards flew over and landed on the ground around Zangwell.
A figure wearing a silk top hat, dressed in a black suit, and carrying a long-barreled revolver walked out. He had black hair and brown eyes, and exuded a scholarly air. It was Klein Moretti.
"You, it really is you, you're still alive!" Zangwell roared weakly.
Bang!
Another shot landed on Zangwell's head. Klein said in a deep voice, "This shot is for Ms. Daly."
Then he pulled the trigger again: "This shot is Leonard's."
He closed his eyes and pulled the trigger again and again: "This shot is for the Blackthorn Security Company that you destroyed."
"This shot was fired by all the 'Night Watchers'."
"This shot was my own."
At this moment, Zangwell was no longer breathing, his body was covered with scorch marks and wounds, half of his head was gone, and his semi-mythical creature state quickly disappeared.
Klein's spirit sensed that there was no danger in the situation, so he opened his eyes, raised "Death Knell," and fired another shot at the already dead Zangwell.
"This shot was fired by the captain."
He then took the remaining tarot card from his pocket and threw it at Ince Zangwell.
It was a reversed "Star" card.
At that moment, a figure appeared not far away, bent down and picked up the "0-08" shaped like a quill pen.
The figure was dressed in a simple white robe, with a pale gold beard that covered the lower half of his face, and a silver cross pendant hanging on his chest.
It was Adam, the King of Angels.
He glanced at the tarot cards on Zangwell's body and smiled, "Every gift of fate has already had its price secretly marked on it..."
He looked at Odis: "Isn't that so?"
Odis was taken aback: I'm here to play as a foreign aid player, why are you asking me?
However, he still politely replied, "If you say so, then it is."
Just as the battle was about to end, he was planning to leave to avoid direct contact with Adam, but suddenly, he felt like seeing "the ending of the story."
When Adam spoke to him, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Adam wanted me to stay? What was His purpose?
Adam chuckled, "Your attitude is good..."
Odis thought to himself: "I, a demigod, meet you, the King of Angels, and you haven't made me bow and scrape, perform a striptease, or do anything else shameful. I'm already incredibly grateful. A good attitude is the most basic courtesy..."
Thinking of this, he noticed Adam staring at him, and it was as if he suddenly came to his senses: Damn it, He "saw" all my thoughts!
He was also a little puzzled. When he last met Adam, he was always mindful of restraining his thoughts, but this time he didn't have that mindset.
Adam maintained his gentle smile, then turned and disappeared step by step into the ruined square, leaving behind a chant-like verse:
"Under the watchful eyes of the 'audience,' Klein Moretti completed a magnificent drama, thereby digesting the potion and having excess power to attempt a promotion as the drama came to a close."
"The glory of knowledge will return to the earth, and what he prophesied will eventually come to pass. Since ancient times, he has been a 'master of prophecy'!"
Klein immediately felt the potion completely digested, while Odis's spirituality realized that she could advance.
