Chapter 170: Antigonus

In a church promoting the faith of the Creator, three Angels were plotting a major event that would truly make this world tremble.

"You should be very curious about the consequences if I were to become a god," Antigonus looked at Amon calmly.

"Yes," Amon nodded and admitted it directly.

The three Pathways associated with that "Lord of the Mysteries" have always been extremely high-risk, and a True God has never been born from them.

In the Second Epoch, the one who grasped the Authority of "Fooling" was also an Ancient God—the Destruction Demon Wolf—whose Characteristic was impure.

In the Fourth Epoch, some could become Sequence 1 Angels, but no Angel had ever plotted to become a god in this era.

The will of that "Lord of the Mysteries" was too powerful, to the extent that the spiritual intuition of all related Angels was telling them that the only one who would achieve godhood was the reviving "Lord of the Mysteries."

Furthermore, what were the identities of those two Kings of Angels of the "Apprentice" and "Error" Pathways?

One was the second son of the Creator, born a king; the other was bestowed the surname "Abraham" by the Creator and was an apprentice of the "Supreme Dream."

Even as Kings of Angels, they could not escape the powerful support behind them.

But even now, that Mr. Door had already been the Angel closest to godhood for hundreds of years.

Amon and Mr. Door both wanted to become gods, but they had too many misgivings, so they both needed an Angel of an adjacent Pathway to test the intensity of the "Lord of the Mysteries'" will for them.

And Antigonus had delivered himself to their doorstep.

"So, what do you intend to do?" Adam also showed full interest in this matter.

"I plan to hold a simplified ritual first to accommodate the Unique..." Antigonus revealed his plan to Adam.

This was dangerous, but the Dream was watching this place.

"This is indeed the best choice at present." A burst of starlight fell, and Bethel appeared quietly.

Chumen had let him come here.

The three Angels with the most hope of becoming True Gods of the "Lord of the Mysteries'" related Pathways had all arrived here; if even the slightest accident occurred here, it would be the "Lord of the Mysteries" rising from the coffin.

"Then let us begin as soon as possible." Antigonus seemed full of hope for the future.

"Are you certain your spirit has not been influenced by that one's will?" Bethel suddenly spoke, pointing straight to the essence.

"You are acting too eagerly; you do not even need to seek advancement at this time."

Bethel spoke very sincerely; he wanted to know the current intensity of the "Lord of the Mysteries'" will, but he could not help but remind Antigonus.

"..."

The scene was silent; all the Angels were looking at Antigonus, whose face, bearing both youth and age, revealed a look of contemplation.

After a long while, he shook his head gently, "I am very certain; this is a decision I made."

He raised his hand, revealing the Dream Mark upon it, "Because of the favor of the Dream, although His whispers echo in my ears at every moment, I am ultimately able to retain the most precious clarity."

Subsequently, Antigonus looked at Adam.

"Your mental state is very good." Adam affirmed Antigonus's condition.

"If it were truly that one influencing you, it would certainly be in a way you could not perceive."

Bethel fell into a tangle; because of Chumen, he was extremely cautious regarding the "Lord of the Mysteries."

But such an assumption could never be verified.

Because it was "imperceptible."

"And that one is also the 'Fate Beacon'..."

Who did not know this fact? But Antigonus had still come here.

Antigonus began to discuss with Amon and Adam how to conduct the simplified ritual.

In the end, Bethel also participated; under the premise that it could not be changed, it was better to make the ritual more perfect and provide a more stable Anchor for Antigonus.

"The simplest way is to utilize the ability of the 'Fate Trojan Horse' to act upon Fate."

The "Fool" godhood ritual was quite abstract, being the "Fooling" of time, fate, or history.

Even if such an abstract ritual were simplified, it would still require an act of "Fooling."

A simplified ritual of fooling fate was something Adam and Amon could achieve by joining forces.

"As for the target of the ritual, let us use a 'Bizarro Sorcerer' from the Jacob Family." Bethel suggested.

The Jacob Family was subordinate to the Trensost Empire and mastered the "Error" Pathway, within which there was a "Worm of Time."

And since the "Apprentice," "Fool," and "Error" Pathways were adjacent, one could indeed find a "Bizarro Sorcerer" in the Jacob Family.

"Very well." Amon glanced at Bethel and nodded gently.

After the plan was settled, Antigonus's Historical Projection was "Tampered" into the real body, and he arrived in person wearing the "Fool Mask."

Amon personally took action to capture a "Bizarro Sorcerer" from the Jacob Family.

"Oh?" Bethel gave a soft exclamation, his eyes flashing with starlight looking at the "Bizarro Sorcerer"; the state of this Bizarro Sorcerer seemed somewhat wrong.

"Let's use him." Amon extracted a Worm of Time from the "Bizarro Sorcerer's" body.

"That will do."

The "Bizarro Sorcerer" woke up from a nightmare, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw an even more terrifying Reality.

In his dream, he had to face Amon, but now he had to face four existences at the level of King of Angels.

"You are Antigonus." Adam looked at this "Bizarro Sorcerer" and spoke softly.

"... I am Antigonus..." The "Bizarro Sorcerer's" eyes instantly lost their luster.

Seeing this, Bethel reached out and grasped the Space where the entire church was located in his hand, then gave it a gentle tug.

At this moment, this Space was severed from the world and entered the Spirit World.

Subsequently, this Space began to completely cut off its connection with the world in terms of Fate and Space-Time, achieving an effect similar to "Hidden."

This was a deepening of the "Mifaoshi's" "Secret Keeper" ability.

This was the presence of four full Kings of Angels; even the weakest, Antigonus, was an Angel who controlled the Unique of the "Fool."

With them joining forces, even if a True God came, they could still put up a fight.

"I am Antigonus." After this Space had been divided for a long time, "Antigonus" stepped out from the void.

If the appearance, memories, Characteristics, and even Fate are completely identical, are these two people the same person?

At least in the determination of Fate, this is the same person.

"Antigonus" reappeared in the world, recorded by Fate.

He reported to the Emperor on time as usual, deliberately avoided meeting the Black Emperor, and secretly worried about his own situation, searching for a way out of the Night Kingdom.

"It seems that I ultimately need to merge with the Unique, this is the only path."

"It is a pity that Adam and Amon did not agree to help me."

Without any help, Antigonus returned to the Night Kingdom, preparing to use his sister's power to attempt to accommodate the "Fool Mask".
