Lights lit up one by one at the long bronze table. Seeing Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, and Mr. Sun sitting down, Klein, who was sitting at the top seat, sighed softly and felt a little emotional. This magnificent temple seemed to have remained unchanged for eternity, and the mysterious Tarot Club was also going on as usual. No one knew that the powerful and mysterious Mr. Fool had already died once.
Without waiting for Miss Justice to greet him, Mr. Hanged Man answered, "Mr. Fool, I got 19 pages of Roselle's diary this time. In addition, I must thank you for sending your followers to help me get rid of Qilingos. These diaries are the reward I should pay."
The incident with Qilingos? Mr. Azik said that someone else killed Qilingos... But this news was passed on by Miss Justice after all, so it's mine. Mr. Azik also spent a lot of money to buy back the spoils from the other party, so it's not impossible to give me this reward... Klein the Fool chuckled:
"can."
Mr. Hanged Man showed an expression that said, "I knew Mr. Fool wouldn't take a little pirate general seriously. He is indeed a truly great existence, so terrifying." He materialized Roselle's diary. Seeing that Miss Justice had no intention of speaking, Klein skillfully brought the six pages of the diary that had just materialized to his front and began to read.
"On December 16, we contacted the poor guy who was trapped deep in the storm and lost in the darkness again."
Finally, there is a follow-up to the previous page of notes... Klein was delighted and became more focused:
"He called himself Mr. 'Gate' and tried to get me to help him return to the real world, and promised to meet my three requests. Does he think I'm stupid? I've lived for more than sixty years in my two lives, and can't I see that this is the usual operation of the evil gods and demons? Oh, demon, I'm with the big demon almost every day now, and even ordinary demons can't fool me!"
"Although some of the history of the Fourth Epoch he described is really interesting, Edward came from the end of the Fourth Epoch, so I can ask Him. There is no need for me to pay anything to gain knowledge from Mr. Men. At most, I can use it as a reference to see what the two say are different."
The high-sequence person from the demonic path appeared again... Roselle changed the address to "him" here? The foreign friend senior was an angel? Klein smacked his lips and restrained his body movements.
"Death has gone crazy and become stronger!"
"Gods can also go crazy? This is really terrifying!"
"To verify this, I asked a foreign friend and got a positive answer. Because He traveled here just at the end of the Four Emperors' War, and witnessed the entire period from the madness of the God of Death to his death. He was very curious and asked me where I got this knowledge, and I fooled Him."
"However, this also confirms one of my guesses, which is that before the Fifth Epoch, gods did often descend upon the real world."
"I asked Mr. Gate if he participated in the Four Emperors' War. If so, what role did he play in it? He didn't answer my question. Ha, you want to keep me in suspense again. I'll go ask the foreigner later."
"...In addition, he also mentioned two laws. One is the law of indestructibility of Beyonder characteristics, and the other is the law of conservation of Beyonder characteristics within adjacent sequences. This is consistent with what I learned from that ancient secret gathering... The total number is fixed from the source and will not increase or decrease. Does this prove that there really is an original creator and everything comes from Him?"
This was the longest entry in Roselle's diary that Klein had ever read, a full two pages. The huge amount of information contained in it made Klein concentrate several times to restrain his subconscious actions, so as to prevent Miss Mind Reader from observing Mr. Fool's inner emotions.
I really envy Emperor Roselle. He has a senior time traveler by his side. He doesn't have to pay an unknown price to obtain knowledge from the mysterious and powerful Mr. "Gate". He can even verify the knowledge from many sources to seek the truth. He traveled here at the end of the Fourth Epoch and has become an angel now. There is no trace of "devil" in his diary... After reading the next few pages of the diary that took place on the eve of the coup to reform the Intis state system, Klein couldn't help but sigh. But then he thought about it. The knowledge Roselle obtained from his predecessors fell into his hands in the form of a diary. He was not completely at a loss. He felt a little comforted.
However, Roselle has been assassinated and died for more than a hundred years. I wonder where this angel senior is now?
His imagination ran wild, and he resisted the urge to shake his head and sigh. He smiled at the three people who were waiting for him to finish reading at the long table with bated breath, and said, "Roselle mentioned some covered-up history and some simple common sense in the diary. The latter reminded me that I seem to have never told you."
The three of them perked up and sat up straight.

"The Dark Saint has completed the internal reorganization of the Aurora Society."
The real Creator, who was slowly chewing a seafood cheese pizza as big as his face in his two little hands, suddenly said, "It's time to take the next step. I'm about to issue an oracle."
"Oh." Edward slowly cut a steak with a knife and fork, and turned his eyes away when he heard it. "What's the next step?"
"Rebirth is inevitably accompanied by pain. Since I want to regain my glory and hint to my followers that I will soon return to the original image of the omniscient and almighty Creator, I will inevitably abandon some of my followers." He took another bite of pizza very calmly, "I have decided to increase the intensity of cooperation with the charity under your name. First, from the perspective of the grassroots people, we will gradually change the impression that the Aurora Society is a terrorist organization, and then slowly exert influence from the top down through the "shepherd" channel. Of course, this will take a long time and must be planned slowly."
The Angel of the Abyss looked at Him. Then looked at Him again.
“…Do you want all the lower-level members of the Aurora Society to volunteer?” “Yes, we can start with the lowest-level members. This will prevent your crazy believers from rushing in and praying, scaring away the people who need help, and eventually attracting official Beyonders to chase, smash, loot, and kill.”
The True Creator pretended not to hear and continued to make plans seriously: "The gods are short-sighted. They only pay attention to the nobles who can bring funds and widespread faith to their churches. They pay little attention to the lower-class people who have the largest population base and who really need to be saved. This is a good opportunity for us."
"Okay." Edward said, "Let's start with Backlund?"
"Let's start from the East District. It just so happens that when I was making the second-hand preparations for the failure of the God's Descent, I arranged for believers to preach in the East District."
After finishing the pizza in a few bites, the True Creator controlled the shadow to bring him another piece of pizza. He ate while saying, "By the way, what day is today? How are the details of the God's Descent being handled?" "No big deal. Today is Wednesday." Edward dipped his dipping sauce into the Feneport pasta with steak. "The scammer who found a carrier for your God's Descent came to Backlund the day before yesterday."
"If the descent of God fails, he will be the next vessel. If the descent of God succeeds, he who is rewarded with your flesh and blood will be the one favored by God. However, he did not come directly to Backlund as I requested. Instead, he took a car and took a detour from the Sea of Breakfast. When he passed by Backlund to check the situation, he was seen by the people in the Aurora Society and brought back. Now he is being treated to good food and drink."
"He did not participate in the two factions' stance this time, but was observing secretly, so I did not receive any corresponding reports."
The True Creator thought thoughtfully: "He is a smart man. But according to your description of the process of God's descent, he will most likely turn to the evil faction. If he escapes in the future, I hope you can help me recover my flesh and blood to prevent the outflow of supplies. I hope he is really a smart man."
Edward hummed. After a few seconds, he thought of something: "I have a gathering of writers' circles this Friday, I want to go."
"so?"
"So I will prepare meals for you in advance on Friday. You have been eating takeout every day these days. It's time to eat some pollution-free handmade food."
The Abyss Angel looked at the True Creator kindly, and the latter somehow felt that every inch of this kind expression was filled with ill intentions and gloating: "What do you want to eat? Square dumplings stuffed with pickled mustard and rice? Wonton and eight-treasure porridge pizza? Roast turkey stuffed with octopus? Or pig blood and black pudding?"
"Oh, by the way, you haven't eaten the Stargazing Sky I gave you last time, so you have to try it this time."
Seeing that his best ally had "I just want to persecute you" clearly written on his face, the Sequence 8 Evil God True Creator, who only had the status of a mythical creature, clenched his fists behind his back. He lay back down, and his voice came from behind the thin blanket: "I am a mythical creature. I don't need to eat!"
Finally, He thought of the half pizza in his stomach: “Eating is just to pass the time and ensure humanity!”
"I believe they can also help you stabilize your humanity." The devil persuaded, "Look how energetic you are now."
"Let's get down to business, let's get down to business." The True Creator tried to change the subject. "You helped me to descend successfully. I have arranged for people to go to the southern continent and snatch the sequence one characteristic you wanted from the followers of the original moon. It will take about one or two months, and you can continue to advance."
"Also, there is something else that may require your help."
"What's the matter?" Edward became more serious when talking about serious matters.
"Help me find one of my subordinates." Shinzo poked his head out from the thin blanket with a complicated expression, "He is already dead. If he is dead, I want to see his body. If he is alive, I want to see... his evil spirit. I have been unable to find any trace of him in my crazy state. It seems that some power has hidden him."
"Looking for Him is not a formal commission. It would be best if you find Him, but just help me keep an eye out for news."
At this point, the True Creator couldn't help but feel gloomy. His divine descent was a great success, but he turned around and heard that the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros was severely injured because of helping Him from the hands of the Goddess of Night, and had to be urgently restarted. This time, there was no time to leave any signs in advance. The "Angel of the Word" Stifo had been searching for Ouroboros in the God-forsaken Land for several days. Looking for Ouroboros in the outside world was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He did not want his allies to know this news. Edward was about to be promoted to Sequence One, and he was in close contact with him every day. Although he looked normal, the madness and cruelty of the demon path were always deeply buried in his bones. If he let his allies know that he had temporarily lost a Sequence One Angel King, it would undoubtedly greatly increase their contempt for him. It would not be surprising for the demon to do something because of this.
Finding the "War Angel" has always been a task to be completed. This time, it is just right to entrust it to the other party, which can also serve as a deterrent.
"Okay." The Abyss Angel thought for two seconds and agreed, "Who do you want me to find?"
"Medici." The True Creator looked into the other's eyes and said, "A loyal subordinate who has followed me for thousands of years without betraying me, an angel who was killed and disappeared at the end of the Fourth Epoch - the 'War Angel' Medici."

For ease of viewing, I will divide it into volumes here.
The seemingly fragile yet indestructible alliance of evil gods, when there is no common enemy, allies are the greatest danger.
