Chapter 464 - Chapter 463 The God of War's Dark History

After grasping the brass book "Trentost," Odis was stunned. He heard a consciousness calling itself Torrentost inside the brass book, asking Odis to resurrect it.

However, considering that this uniqueness was once possessed by Terensust, and that there are remnants of the Night King's spirit within it, it's not entirely normal.

Odis asked, "How can I help you resurrect?"

"Find the members of the Trensost family." The consciousness in the "Bronze Book" said, "I had the members of the Trensost family hide a sealed artifact that could resurrect me."

Even if they lost it, there must still be some clues about that sealed artifact.

"I left the method of resurrection in a book with an iron shell. It was an item that Stiano made for me, and it can be easily opened by a 'sage'."

Odis paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "What benefit would I get after helping you?"

The voice said, "I will remain loyal to the 'Sage,' just as I have before."

Odis pondered for a moment before saying, "If I don't let you become a god, if I don't let you become the Old Ones, would you be willing?"

His main concern was that Trensault was likely to be Russell's competitor.

Odis preferred that Roselle become the "Disordered One" because their ideas were more aligned.

"Yes," the other party immediately agreed.

Odis thought for a moment before agreeing, "I will go and find the members of the Trensost family."

Then he asked, "I'm more curious about your current state."

"I am just a wisp of consciousness," the voice said. "I have always been very well hidden, and I only ask for help when I encounter someone I can ask for help."

"But this is my limit now. After communicating with you, I will also become part of the unique divinity of the 'Judge,' completely losing myself."

Odis nodded: "How exactly do you want to resurrect them?"

"I don't know," the voice said. "I'm just a wisp of consciousness, a wisp of consciousness trying to stay awake."

Odis asked with some curiosity, "How did you manage to keep this wisp of consciousness conscious for over a thousand years?"

The voice continued, "I don't know, I'm just a wisp of consciousness, a wisp of consciousness trying hard to stay awake..."

Odis smiled, guessing that this must be the "Night Emperor," who used the "Judgment" ability to set some "rules" for his own "uniqueness" in order to maintain this wisp of consciousness.

Normally, this wisp of consciousness hides quietly, and can only be triggered when certain conditions are met.

Even when triggered, it can only answer some fixed questions and cannot provide very flexible answers.

This is somewhat like an artificial intelligence model with a low level of intelligence.

Odis was about to try asking another question when he discovered that the wisp of consciousness had already disappeared.

So Odis began to reseal the "Bronze Book" using the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

Thus, the Brass Book was not as active as it is now, and most of the time, the rules were designed according to Odis's wishes.

This sealed artifact already had a number, which Odis did not change; the number and name remain: "0-02".

The Brass Book of Trenshorst.

Then Odis looked at the "Iron Tree" that the Celestial Master had just "forged." The main ability of this sealed artifact was to make the target fall into various desires; the branches of the Iron Tree could be launched, and as long as they hit the target,

The target will be immersed in a certain desire, and it will take several seconds for it to come to its senses; it can be planted in a city, sowing desire throughout the city, and human desires can nourish its growth.

Because it's a creation of a Taoist master, the negative effects aren't very strong: each use will induce a strong desire. This desire will disappear after three hours, but if the desire is released, the intense feeling of desire will disappear earlier.

For example, if Odis felt extremely greedy after using this sealed item, and then a sum of money happened to come in at that moment, his intense desire would disappear prematurely.

Odis named it the "0-73" Desire Iron Tree.

Then Odis looked at the bone sword he had obtained today. It could use most of the abilities of the "Warrior" path, but the negative effect was that he would become a devout follower of the "God of War".

Even though the "God of War" Badhel has fallen, he will still become a believer.

After Odis sealed the "Wilderness of Knowledge," she gained 90 seconds of safety time. If she only used it for a minute and a half, she would not be affected by the negative effects.

Odis named it the "0-74" Sword of Honor.

After completing the sealing and numbering, Odis couldn't help but smile. Today's harvest was quite rich, with three more level 0 sealed items.

In addition, there are more than a hundred extraordinary traits from the "Warrior" pathway, as well as some traits from the "Sleepless" and "Corpse Collector" pathways. These traits, which are adjacent to the "Warrior" pathway, also come from extraordinary individuals of the Church of War.

Back in the real world, Odis arrives at the villa where Azshara and Bernadette live.

Bernadette happened to be home today, and she was in her study researching a mystical problem.

After Odis entered the study, Bernadette, who was looking at a handwritten notebook, said without looking up, "You're back."

From behind, the dress perfectly showcased Bernadette's figure, and her hair was tied up, giving her a sophisticated look.

Odis hugged Bernadette from behind: "Mmm."

Then he kissed Bernadette twice.

Bernadette put down her notebook: "What's making you so happy?"

"The war is over."

Bernadette smiled and picked up her notebook again: "You should want the war to continue, shouldn't you?"

Odis laughed and said, "No, I love peace."

The war ended very hastily, and the outcome was far beyond the expectations of all countries.

Odis did not inform the key officials of the Remnburg government in advance that the war was about to end, so the senior officials in Remnburg also needed time to accept this fact.

However, at this time, the personality cult of President Garrison among many people in the country had become close to the worship of gods!

He made the right decision again, resolutely supporting Rune when everyone else was pessimistic about him.

In the end, Rune miraculously survived and achieved final victory.

Odis then instructed his officials to prepare for peace talks, aiming to make the Snason region, the Ole province, and Midway Island legitimate territories of Remburg in the upcoming negotiations.

Actually, it's not difficult, after all, this is territory that Remenberg conquered.

All it takes is recognition from other countries at an international summit.

Odis thought about it carefully. The most important issue for him at the moment was actually the struggle for the divine position with the "Hidden Sage".

Because of the presence of the Celestial Master, the "Hidden Sage" no longer dares to attack Odis proactively.

However, the Celestial Master was unable to help Odis resolve the "Hidden Sage" issue, so Odis still had to find a solution herself or seek outside help.

Odis's idea was to first try to kill the "Hidden Sage" himself, and only seek outside help if that failed.

Because once Odis becomes Sequence 1, she will have the possibility of escaping from the "Hidden Sage" at any time.

Under these circumstances, Odis intends to treat the "Hidden Sage" as a final challenge, with the option to try and fail.

The specific plan is to first play the role of "Knowledge Emperor" for a period of time, and then, when my condition is good enough...

Then, "drink" another dose of the "Knowledge Emperor" properties and challenge the "Hidden Sage" in the guise of the Angel King.

Theoretically speaking, the "Hidden Sage" with "uniqueness" still has a certain advantage, but Odis possesses the "Wilderness of Knowledge," so perhaps in battle, he is the one with the advantage.

As for the characteristics of the second Sequence 1, Odis knew very well that they were in Adam's possession.

However, so far, the Celestial Master has not mentioned this matter, nor has Adam offered that Sequence 1.

Its characteristics.

Odis knew very well that he needed to take the initiative to do something in exchange for the characteristics of Sequence 1.

Perhaps Adam should be given some benefits in exchange for that Sequence 1 property; the reward doesn't necessarily need to be at the Sequence 1 level.

But you must give the other party some benefits.

After all, Adam had helped guard this property for over a thousand years, so we should at least express our gratitude.

Odis thought for a moment and realized he had a favor to do: help the "Demon King" Fabti in his struggle against the "Mother Tree of Desire".

He had already rehearsed this scenario many times; as long as he gave Fabti that "tainted king" characteristic,

This could very likely lead to a fierce struggle among the "Rose School" to seize it.

Because this move could potentially wipe out the advantages that the "Mother Tree of Desire" has cultivated for thousands of years, the "Divine Evil" Si'a and his companions will definitely fight to the death for their master.

Even the "bound ones" might appear at that time.

However, the "bound one" is very likely already a puppet, a living corpse.

Odis originally intended to carry out this action himself after obtaining the uniqueness of the "Hermit," and if necessary, to ask the "Fool" for help.

However, we can ask Adam for help now, and then mention that item when dividing the spoils later.

The characteristics of a "knowledge emperor".

This matter is not urgent right now, because the most important thing for the entire Northern Continent right now is the negotiations between the various countries.

Odis instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to extend invitations to the other four countries of the Northern Continent, asking them to come to Azshara for negotiations a month later.

None of the countries that received the invitations responded immediately.

Because both the Republic of Intis and the Empire of Fusak are currently busy withdrawing their troops, Rune wanted to pursue them, but lacked the strength to do so. This was mainly because many of their high-ranking officials were still somewhat resentful and did not understand why they had won.

Fenerbah did not give a quick answer because they were still at war with Rembrandt.

Last year, the Kingdom of Fenneport declared war on the Kingdom of Lenburg. To date, neither side has announced a cessation of hostilities, so they remain at war.

Odis was not in a hurry, because Remnburg was the best place for negotiations between the nations.

Firstly, Remnantburg had fought against three of the other four nations and had the strength to convene this peace talks.

Secondly, Remnburg was also a victorious nation and had the right to convene these peace talks.

Of course, Rune also has such rights, but right now there are two "Extraordinary Puppet" legions in Lunburg, as well as dozens of Extraordinary individuals stationed not far from Backlund.

If the Rune delegation doesn't come to Azshara, then Lunburg could easily hold a military exercise or something outside Backlund.

Now we're just waiting for the reactions from various countries. Odis is relatively free, so he has time to attend Tarot gatherings.

Monday arrived, and Odis, as usual, went to her room early and lay down in her armchair to prepare for the meeting.

At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Odis's vision was covered by gray mist, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in the magnificent hall, to one side of the bronze table.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." Audrey's greeting, "Justice," was as timely as ever.

However, compared to a year ago, Audrey's voice no longer had the same joy and lightness; it seemed much more composed.

Although the war was over, Audrey didn't know why she just couldn't be happy.

Klein, now an angel, looked around and marveled at the growth of the Tarot Club members.

First was "The Hermit" Odis. As soon as Odis entered the hall, Klein sensed that he was already a Sequence 1, still higher than Mr. Fool, and already possessed a vast power, making him a top figure in this world.

The Hanged Man is currently a cardinal of the Church of Storms, in charge of the diocese of Roside Islands.

"Justice" is now a member of the council of the Psychological Alchemy Society, "Sun" is an elder of the "Six-Person Council" in Silver City, "Moon" is a vampire count, and "Star" is a senior deacon of the Church of the Night, the "Night Watch."

The "Priestess" has recently made another high-profile appearance on the high seas, claiming to be the queen of the seas. However, this time she represents Lenburg's interests in the Raging Sea and the Misty Sea.

Apart from "The Magician" and "Judgment," who are only Sequence 5, the rest of the Tarot Club members are already demigods, high-ranking members of different forces in the mystical world.

With the support of the Abraham family, the "Magician" has a high chance of being promoted to Sequence 4 "Arcanist" within the year.

The "Trial" also has the covert support of the "Hermit" and Lenburg, and it is estimated that the general ascension will be completed after digesting the magic potion.

This made Klein remark: "Finally, it's like a high-class secret organization."

He then said to the members of the Tarot Club, "Let's begin."

Leonard, nicknamed "Star," looked around and, seeing that the other members remained silent, tentatively spoke up: "According to the intelligence we have gathered so far, a battle of gods did indeed take place before."

"Among them, it is certain that the 'Goddess of Night,' 'God of War,' and 'Mother Earth' appeared in the skies above Backlund." As for the outcome, I think everyone is clear about it. What are your thoughts on this?

The priestess, Cattleya, began by stating her opinion: "I cannot understand why that happened. The Earth Mother and the War God, mother and son, working together, were defeated by the Night Goddess."

This was also a question on the minds of the other members. Even "The Fool" Klein only knew that "Mother Earth" was not the mother of "God of War," but he was not very clear about the specifics.

Just then, "The Sun" Derrick raised his arm and said, "I think I know why."

As an elder of the council, Derrick learned the secret of the Silver City's divine-level sealed artifact.

"You?" Emlyn, the "Moon," questioned.

After all, the "Sun" had just left the land of the forsaken gods. How could he possibly know more about the details of the war of gods than everyone present?

Knowing that "Little Sun" was always honest, Alger, the "Hanged Man," suppressed his curiosity and a little excitement, and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

Derrick said in a deep voice, "You must promise Mr. Fool that you will not reveal what I am about to tell you."

"No problem," Cattleya said, taking the lead.

After everyone made their promises in the presence of "The Fool," Derrick nodded and said, "'Mother Earth' is not the Giant Queen Omibella. The real Omibella is dead, and her remains are in Silver City."

This news was like a bomb that landed at the Tarot Club, causing all members except Odis to feel as if they had experienced a "mental storm".

After a long pause, Leonard asked incredulously, "Are you sure?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted asking such a question. Since the Silver City contained the remains of the Giant Queen Omibella, it meant that the credibility of this matter was very high.

Audrey, Alger, and the others subconsciously turned their gazes to Mr. Fool, who sat at the head of the mottled long table. Mr. Fool, who had already regained his composure, smiled and remained seated without changing his posture.

This indirectly shows that he agrees with the information that "Little Sun" just provided.

Before the "Sun" could answer the "Star's" question, Audrey said, "This explains many things."

But if the 'Earth Mother Goddess' is not the Giant Queen, then why did the 'Angel of Fate' think that it was Omibella when she painted the mural depicting the founding of the 'Redemption Rose'?

"The key question is—the key question is why 'God of War' needs a partner? Who exactly is it?"

Cattleya pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps that 'Earth Mother' has been impersonating Omibella all along, deceiving both the 'Angel of Fate' and the 'God of War.'"

Alger retorted, "How could that be? 'Mother Earth'—no, I mean the Giant Queen and '

The "God of War" is—but she's his mother!

Fors took a deep breath and said, "That's a terrifying story."

At this point, Odis said, "I do know some definite information about this matter."

Everyone immediately turned their eager gazes toward the "hermit".

Odis continued, "You should all remember some information we traded before. During the Second Age, I speculated that it was the 'Goddess of Harvest,' a subordinate goddess of the 'King of Giants,' who betrayed the ancient goddess Lilith, which led to the fall of the 'Progenitor of the Vampires,' right?"

Everyone certainly remembered this, especially Emlyn, who, after receiving this information, searched everywhere for clues about the "Goddess of Harvest".

However, he couldn't find any information about the "Goddess of Harvest" in the ancient records of the vampires!

"This matter is actually quite complicated," Odis said. "This war of the gods, which marked the turning point of the Second Age..."

There's actually more to it.

He then announced another astonishing piece of news: "With the help of the 'Goddess of Night' and the 'Ancient Sun God,' the ancient goddess Lilith has replaced Omibella!"

Apart from "The Fool" Klein, who had some prior suspicions and wasn't particularly shocked, the other members were so taken aback by the news that they were momentarily speechless.

Two or three seconds later, "Little Sun" was the first to react: "The divine-level sealed artifact in Silver City is the remains of the 'Queen of Giants,' and the 'Earth Mother Goddess' has always been the ancient goddess Lilith?"

The other members, having taken advantage of the two or three seconds that had passed, had also made this guess. When "Little Sun" uttered the words, they were shocked once again.

Especially Emlyn, the "Moon," who stammered, "The progenitor—the progenitor is the 'Earth Mother Goddess'?"

Then he muttered to himself, "No wonder—no wonder I could believe in the 'Mother Goddess' without any psychological pressure." So that's why—haha, I really am the chosen one of the progenitors, the most favored one!

The other members felt it was somewhat blasphemous, as this was a huge secret of the "Earth Mother Goddess." They were even worried that they might be punished by the Earth Mother Goddess after returning to the real world.

Despite their worries, they were eager to know more details about the matter, so they looked at the "Hermit" again, their eyes even more eager than before.

"The Hermit" Odis said, "Now let's sort out this matter together. The progenitor of the vampires was betrayed by Omibella and perished in the war of the gods. Fortunately, he had made some arrangements in advance, and his consciousness and spirit did not perish."

"In this battle, the 'Goddess of Misfortune,' which later became the 'Goddess of Night,' not only took away the uniqueness of its own pathway and the Sequence 1 characteristic, but also the uniqueness of the 'Moon' pathway."

Odis believed that from that time onward, the goddess was preparing for a possible divine war.

Otherwise, the "Goddess of Night" should have been able to more easily acquire the uniqueness of the "Fool" pathway, but she ignored it and allowed Antigonus to absorb this uniqueness, instead choosing the "Moon" pathway instead.

Of course, back then, it wasn't the old way. The "Goddess of Night" might have done this simply to help Lilith, to find a solid ally for herself, or to have a chance to kill the "King of Giants" at some point.

After all, although it did not become the old way, nor did it have the concept of adjacent paths, the "law of extraordinary characteristics aggregation" still existed. As the "dark" path, the "Goddess of the Night" should be hostile to the "King of Giants".

Odis continued, "Before becoming a god, the 'Goddess of the Night,' who wielded the 'hidden' authority, must have helped the 'Progenitor of the Vampires' conceal her tracks, and finally, when the time was right, she asked the 'Ancient Sun God' to steal Omibella's destiny!"

After hearing Odis's words, "The Sun" Derrick felt somewhat confused. How could the "omniscient and omnipotent Lord" steal Omibella's fate?

But then he realized: "The Blasphemer" Amon was the child of the "Ancient Sun God," and it was said that Amon was born with the uniqueness of the "wrong" path. Just as everyone had guessed in a previous transaction, it must have been the extraordinary characteristic that the "Ancient Sun God" expelled through childbirth to stabilize the state.

The other members also understood the meaning of "hermit" after a moment's thought.

Then they suddenly had a very clear understanding of uniqueness and the hierarchical relationship between angels.

Even the fate of an archangel could be stolen from the holder of uniqueness! And not even Omibella's family noticed!

The rest is self-explanatory without Odis's explanation: after Lilith received the destiny of Omibella, she existed in the world as the "Queen of Giants," and later even became the "Mother Goddess of the Earth," only revealing herself in the Fifth Age!

Of course, this must have been kept secret by the "Goddess of the Night" using her "secret" power, which is why no one discovered it.

Thinking about all this, Alger's eyes froze slightly: a conspiracy spanning three or four thousand years!

He instinctively shrank back, feeling a deep-seated fear of the "Goddess of Night" and the "Mother Earth."

Everyone else shared a similar feeling. Leonard, nicknamed "Star," belatedly remarked, "No wonder the Church of the Night stopped promoting the title 'Crimson Lord' a few days ago and changed their prayer gesture of drawing a red moon to pointing at stars!"

"The Magician" Fors said, "In any case, the authority over the 'Moon' realm has returned to the 'Progenitor of the Vampires'."

After hearing Miss "Magician's" words, the other members couldn't help but look at Mr. "Moon," hoping to get evidence of the return of authority from him.

But at this moment, Mr. Moon still seemed to be in shock, his expression still somewhat uncertain.

Among the Tarot Club members, the most shocked after hearing those words was "The Moon" Emlyn. His mind was still filled with the thought: the Mother Goddess is the progenitor, the progenitor is the Mother Goddess…

As he pondered, he became increasingly convinced that he was the most devout vampire.

Seeing that the vampire seemed to have recovered from his shock, Fors smiled and said, "'Moon' Mr., wait a while longer, and perhaps you will become the Archbishop of the Church of the Earth Mother, no, you should be the Church of the Earth's Plenipotentiary Representative among vampires."

Emlyn finally realized: "Why?"

He thought the progenitor would allow the vampires to remain in their previous state and not directly merge with the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess.

Leonard smiled and said, "Since the 'Goddess of the Night' no longer has the title 'Crimson Moon,' then the 'Earth Mother' will soon have a similar title, which won't be able to fool the other churches."

Upon hearing Mr. Star's words, Emlyn suddenly recalled this scene: his fellow tribesmen who had previously mocked his faith in the Earth Mother would line up before him to receive his baptism.

Thinking about it this way, Emlyn felt extremely happy and couldn't help but slightly raise his chin.

At this moment, Klein, manipulating "The World," said, "I suddenly thought of a question: Why did 'Goddess of Harvest' Omibella die in Silver City, and not in the Giants' Court, or somewhere else?"

The other members were taken aback at first, but they quickly realized that this was indeed strange. Logically speaking, the extraordinary characteristics of the "Goddess of Harvest" should have been taken by the "Ancient Sun God" or somewhere in the Giants' Court.

Why in Silver City?

Derrick speculated, "It might be because the Silver City previously worshipped the Giant Queen."

He explained, "I just learned that before believing in the 'omniscient and omnipotent Lord,' the Silver City did not worship the 'King of Giants,' but rather the 'Queen of Giants.'"

So that's how it is!

The members of the Tarot Club felt that this made sense.

After nodding slightly in acceptance of the answer, "The World" looked at Odis for confirmation.

Odis smiled and said, "There is indeed a secret here. Of course, it's just my guess, and it may differ from the facts, but it's probably something like that."

Since the God of War has already fallen, there's no harm in releasing that information.

People hadn't heard the "Hermit's" speculations for a while, and suddenly everyone was very interested in the secrets that the "Hermit" had mentioned.

"We've actually mentioned this secret briefly before," Odis said. "We all know that after the 'Ancient Sun God' awakened, he defeated all the ancient gods except for the 'Demon King' Fabuti."

"However, judging from the later actions of the 'Ancient Sun God,' it did not reclaim the authority of every ancient god."

"At least he never demonstrated the authority associated with the 'King of Giants' and the 'Progenitor of the Phoenix,' but the characteristics of the 'Progenitor of the Phoenix' should have been taken by the 'Ancient Sun God.'"

"Later, those characteristics were bestowed upon Abraham, who is known as 'Mr. Door', and upon 'the God of the Dead,' who is also known as 'the King of the Underworld' in the Fourth Age."

"But the authority of the 'King of Giants' was obtained by the child of this ancient god, who was the 'God of Dawn' at the time and later the 'God of War', Bardhar."

Of course, everyone remembers the information mentioned by the "Hermit" before. At that time, they even speculated whether the origin of the "God of War" had some dark history.

Now it seems there really is a dark history behind this!

At this point, the other members had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but they seemed hesitant to think about it further.

Odis continued, "Before we can explain this problem, we need to understand another one."

"As far as I know, people whose fate has been stolen enter a state similar to 'hidden,' where no one can detect their existence, and what they say or do has no impact on the real world."

"Because he has no destiny, he will be cut off from all connections with the real world, and the whole world will reject him."

He eventually died alone.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and gained a new understanding of Amon's abilities.

Audrey sighed, "Although this isn't the first time I've heard this kind of information, it still sends chills down my spine every time."

The other members nodded in agreement.

At the same time, they also realized that the "Hermit" explained this to help everyone understand Omibella's state. After everyone finished sighing, Odis said, "I don't know if the 'King of Giants' can sense the existence of Omibella without fate."

"However, a more reasonable line of reasoning is that after the 'Ancient Sun God' injured the 'King of Giants', he and the 'Goddess of Night' stole the 'Queen of Giants's' fate and characteristics."

"On the other side, taking advantage of the fact that the 'King of Giants' was injured and in poor condition, Bardhel killed the 'King of Giants' and obtained the extraordinary properties of this ancient god!"

Today has already brought us so many surprises, but this news still surprises everyone!

But everyone was already mentally prepared; while they were surprised, they didn't seem to be taken aback by it.

Alger thought to himself: I knew it, every god has some dark history!

Amid everyone's astonishment, Odis continued, "I don't know if the giant queen, who had already been switched at the time, helped. But what is more certain is that Omibella, who was in a state of no destiny, witnessed all of this, but was powerless to do anything about it."

"In the end, he watched his son become a 'war god,' and watched his son recognize another woman as his mother."
