Chapter 199: Opportunity

"Hmm?" As Bethel let the entire syllable fall, the entire Abraham Family was completely isolated from the original space.

As long as Bethel himself did not remove this space blockade, perhaps only a True God would be able to find this place.

But the True Gods of the present are all in the Astral World.

Zaratul spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the study.

"My father has always been cautious; he never once moved his true body in any public setting, even after Antigonus obtained the 'Fool' Unique."

"He even used marionettes and Historical Projections when meeting with me."

"With this level of caution, the only one below a True God who could find my father's hiding place is Lord Bethel."

Mr. "Door," this Angel who is the first under the gods, having gathered all the materials for godhood and holding the "Door" Authority, is certainly capable of locating a Sequence 1 Angel.

"Then you still dare to come see me?" Bethel spoke with an expressionless face.

A heavy and solidified aura began to brew; Zaratul straightened his body and looked at this terrifying Mr. "Door."

"I only want to know the truth."

"This is a war of Sequences." Bethel's eyes shone brightly, as if seeing through Zaratul.

"Antigonus wants to become the 'Fool,' so there must inevitably be a life-and-death war between him and your father."

"On a higher level, I, Amon, and Antigonus must engage in the most intense war before the Doomsday."

Bethel even ignored Pallez Zoroast, the "Worm of Time" of the "Marauder" Pathway Sequence 1.

In front of three Kings of Angels, the chance of a Sequence 1 winning is almost zero.

And if Zaratul dares to go any further, he will also inevitably face the malice of the three Kings of Angels.

"The 'Lord of the Mysteries' also needs attendants." Zaratul was prepared.

At this moment, the dagger was revealed from the map.

Zaratul came here to utilize his father's final "legacy" to obtain an opportunity—the opportunity to become an "Attendant of Mysteries."

Old Zaratul had seen the second "Blasphemy Slate" back then and knew the Oldest One formula for the "Lord of the Mysteries"; this knowledge was passed down to young Zaratul.

And Bethel is about to become "Door," so even in the final war beyond the Sequences, there is no need for three "Attendant of Mysteries" 【Characteristics】.

Besides that, Antigonus has the blood feud of killing his father, and Amon, that Son of the Creator, is truly terrifying.

Even if he ends up becoming an attendant to Mr. "Door," it is not a loss.

This is one of the reasons young Zaratul dared to come; he believed that Mr. "Door" would not refuse to cultivate an "Attendant of Mysteries."

This was a bit risky; it was the courage he had accumulated for over a thousand years.

"Are you certain that I know the whereabouts of the last 'Attendant of Mysteries' Characteristic?" Bethel's expression softened as he asked.

"You are a student of the 'Dream Duke'." Zaratul lowered his head again.

"..." Bethel fell silent.

He actually did know; it originated from his curiosity about the "Fool" Pathway, and his teacher had revealed certain intelligence to him at the time.

"The last 'Attendant of Mysteries' Characteristic is in 'Sefirah Castle'." Bethel finally revealed the entire piece of intelligence, considering it a repayment for what he had done back then.

Young Zaratul had gauged his thoughts accurately before daring to come here.

"Sefirah Castle"... this is almost impossible to obtain.

Young Zaratul was silent for a long time, and in the end, he said nothing, only bidding farewell to Bethel.

Bethel removed the space blockade and watched young Zaratul walk out of the Abraham Family.

"The path ahead may be a dead end..." Bethel suddenly sighed, his eyes dimming as he looked toward that endless Grey Fog above the Spirit World.

He had not spent the last thousand years in deep sleep; he had long since made sufficient preparations for the godhood ritual, waiting only for the Doomsday to arrive so he could ascend the divine throne.

In this regard, he had more of an advantage than Amon and Antigonus.

Zaratul walked toward the Zaratul Family castle without any abnormality, looking like an old gentleman who had just finished a neighborly visit.

But Zaratul was truly taking a huge risk this time; after all, he was facing this Mr. "Door." If any mistake occurred, he might have turned into a "Miracle Invoker" Characteristic.

However, the result was good; he had obtained the answer he wanted.

"'Sefirah Castle'..." Zaratul muttered this term, unconsciously thinking of Roselle.

He had known Roselle for so long and had naturally observed him in secret; with Roselle's status as a mere Sequence 6, he could not have discovered him.

"That kind of ability..." The fact that Roselle could use the abilities of the three related pathways of the "Lord of the Mysteries" could not be hidden from him.

"Is he related to 'Sefirah Castle'?" Zaratul only felt his heart, which had been cold for a thousand years, begin to grow eager.

"But he actually chose the 'Savant' Pathway..."

This was the part Zaratul could not understand; if not for this reason, Roselle might have already become his marionette.

"Observe first!" Zaratul's eyes were dark and deep; he decided to wait and see.

And during the time Zaratul visited the Abraham Family, Roselle had truly arrived at the second-largest church of the "Craftsman Church"—Saint Magna Cathedral.

He knelt on one knee, facing the lever and gears, and prayed "devoutly."

This should have been an ordinary process, but after Roselle finished chanting the honorific name of the "Craftsman God," some kind of invisible flowing light seemed to flash and vanish from the Holy Emblem.

"This is!" The Bishop of the "Craftsman Church," as well as the Demigods and Angels outside the Church, all suddenly looked up toward Saint Magna Cathedral.

"The power of a True God?!"

"It is the 'Craftsman God'!"

Since the Fifth Epoch, the number of times the power of a True God has appeared in the Real World has not exceeded three.

"It is the perfect Lord!" The priests and believers of the "Craftsman Church" all widened their eyes, looking fanatically at the light flashing on the Holy Emblem.

"Uh..." Roselle was confused, but he also knew that he had passively caused a big piece of news.

"Great Craftsman God, you are the embodiment of essence, you are the protector of craftsmen, you are the radiance of technology..."

The Bishop of Saint Magna Cathedral knelt on the ground at the first moment, chanting the honorific name of the "Craftsman God," devoutly waiting for a Divine Oracle.

It was just that the power of the deity fell directly onto Roselle's forehead, gradually condensing into a golden Holy Emblem.

"Divine Favored"!

A Divine Favored born in full view of everyone.

All the believers of the Craftsman Church looked at Roselle with full reverence, and even the Bishop, who had served the Craftsman God his entire life, felt a bit envious.

Honestly, Roselle was bewildered; the golden Holy Emblem on his forehead gave him a divine blessing that allowed him to gain the greatest benefits when researching and developing various technologies.

"I've become a Divine Favored just like that, and I haven't even exerted any effort yet," Roselle silently complained as he looked at those reverent believers.
