Chapter 2417

After listening to Su Xiao's narrative, the expression under the short Kiserl's mask froze. He felt his brain circuits were already insufficient.

"Why should I believe what you say?"

"Did I ever ask you to believe?"

"This..."

The short Kiserl was speechless. The facts were indeed so. From beginning to end, Su Xiao hadn't asked him to believe.

"You can continue to wait here. Azaz will come sooner or later. Calculating the time, he should already be in the tomb of Emperor Okaz, expected to arrive in Omen Town within five days."

Su Xiao stood up from the giant skeleton's eye socket and leaped, jumping onto the high wall.

The Ancient God of this world was dead. Su Xiao was now sure of this point. He had been confused earlier why such a powerful Ancient God was in Omen Town, yet this world was still Seventh Tier, and this Ancient God had distributed his power to many people.

Now it seemed that this Ancient God was dead. Although it was still a bit away from being thoroughly dead, it didn't count as still alive. This Ancient God didn't want to suck this world; he had already started sucking, and Omen Town becoming like this was because that Ancient God had just sucked for a while and then cooled down. He should have been seriously injured and arrived in this world while dying.

The result was that this Ancient God died in Omen Town, and his momentary sucking, coupled with the spread of Ancient God power in his body after death, caused the misfortune of Omen Town.

The Resentful Orphan was the Ancient God's final means. That Ancient God wanted to be reincarnated, but the newborn died in the womb, which was how the current Resentful Orphan came to be.

The newborn dying in the womb was definitely related to the Archbishop. The Archbishop should have also resisted Ancient God power, but while studying Ancient God power, he was attracted by it. Since Omen Town had already become like this and couldn't be saved, why didn't he become a new Ancient God?

The appearance of this thought planted a seed in the Archbishop's heart. Right now, the seed had sprouted, just waiting for Azaz to arrive.

Even, the Archbishop had already prepared to save the old councilor and send Azaz away. He would finally 'die' with a smile, and then, in an unknown situation, become a new Ancient God.

The Archbishop wasn't deceiving others to their faces, but had been arranging it many years ago, letting people enter the trap voluntarily. He had plenty of time. Who would suspect things from a thousand years ago? Time and a long life were his strongest weapons.

Azaz would indeed not suspect things from a thousand years ago. He was a person from this world, and legends like Emperor Okaz were things he doubted not at all.

Su Xiao would doubt it. He had entered this world for less than half a month, and he wouldn't completely believe the legends of this world. Let alone legends from a thousand years ago, even those from a hundred thousand years ago, he held a skeptical attitude.

"According to your statement, the Archbishop wants to snatch power from the Resentful Orphan? This is impossible. That thing has existed in Omen Town for too long. If it could be done, why wouldn't the Archbishop make a move himself? The Archbishop is far more powerful than you or me."

The short Kiserl, although still full of suspicion, had a much less determined expression under his mask.

"I'm very surprised that the Archbishop didn't die in the early stages of the Ancient God's descent."

Su Xiao had already connected all the clues, from the steam train he took when entering this world, all the way to when he saw the short Kiserl.

If a Seventh Tier Qiyuezhe arrived in Omen Town and couldn't see through the Archbishop's plan, they would kill in the following order:

Immortal Man -> Short Kiserl -> Resentful Orphan -> Blacksmith (in a rage, very strong) -> Saintess (in despair, very weak).

After experiencing heavy dangers, finally reaping a lot of benefits, even if they weren't hammered to death by the Blacksmith, they definitely wouldn't be in a good state, and then... they would be casually pinched to death by the Archbishop who had become an Ancient God.

"You, are you going to kill the Archbishop?"

The staff-blade in the short Kiserl's hand was wrapped in black mist and then disappeared. He didn't plan to continue fighting either; it was meaningless.

"Analyzing from known information, you, plus me, and my three summons, aren't enough for the Archbishop to kill."

"The Archbishop isn't as powerful as you say. If everything you said is true, the Blacksmith will assist us."

The short Kiserl didn't plan to completely believe Su Xiao. He prepared to observe first. Continuing to sleep here had no meaning. He was eroded by Ancient God power, which was a matter of time.

"The Blacksmith won't assist us."

"Our friendship is more than..."

"The Blacksmith has been in the Redemption Church for too long; he can't even get close to the Archbishop."

The short Kiserl was rendered speechless by Su Xiao's words. Under Kiserl's control, the giant skeleton lowered its arm, and he leaped onto the giant skeleton's palm.

"Let's agree beforehand, if I find you suspicious, I'll stab you in the back. Of course, if I'm suspicious, you can also chop off my head."

The short Kiserl controlled the giant skeleton to climb out of the high wall, landing outside the high wall with a 'Rumble'.

"Where to? Since you, this outsider, haven't left Omen Town, it means you have a way to deal with the Archbishop."

"Go find the Resentful Orphan."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the short Kiserl, who was a Seventh Tier big boss, was stunned at this moment.

"Has your brain been eroded by alien god power? That thing is crazy; it even eats town residents. Last time we met, it even bit me."

The short Kiserl controlled the giant skeleton to point at its skull with its thick fingers, where there was a hole that wasn't small.

The short Kiserl's giant skeleton was quite useful. As long as it wasn't destroyed by energy of the same origin, it could be repaired through the skeletons of town residents.

"Who told you that thing is crazy?"

"You mean..."

The short Kiserl's gaze became solemn. If the Resentful Orphan wasn't crazy, then the joke was huge.

"Where is he?"

"Come up. He's on the west side of the town, where it's as quiet as a haunted place."

The short Kiserl manipulated the giant skeleton to raise its other hand. Su Xiao leaped up, Bubu Wang and Amu following closely behind, Baha scouting from above.

The Resentful Orphan was different from the short Kiserl. There were only two possibilities on that side: 1. The Resentful Orphan was indeed crazy and would attack all living creatures within its sight. If so, that was fine.

2. The Resentful Orphan had some sanity. If so, the Resentful Orphan would likely be willing to assist in dealing with the Archbishop—no, it would definitely be willing to assist in dealing with the Archbishop. The Archbishop wanted to obtain something from it to become an Ancient God.

The Archbishop was the ultimate big boss, and the Resentful Orphan wasn't much better. Finding a way to make these two fight was the best method.

The giant skeleton's ribs expanded and started moving forward at high speed. This time, there was no need to avoid Frenzied Residents; the short Kiserl was one of the big bosses of Omen Town.

Bypassing the Redemption Church, the giant skeleton headed toward the west side of the town. After traveling for over ten minutes, the surroundings became quiet. The environment here was very dry, and the buildings and ground were cracked.

There wasn't a single resident on the west side of the town, and it was very quiet inside the stone buildings of varying heights. The temperature had risen by over ten degrees.

*Whoosh! * A blurred shadow flashed nearby.

"The Resentful one is here."

The short Kiserl's tone was normal. The middle of the town was his territory, the west side belonged to the Resentful Orphan, the east side belonged to the Ghost Snake Sisters—there was a river there, the environment was damp, and ahead was the Immortal Man. Usually, the parties didn't interfere with each other.

A figure appeared silently on a stone building. Its skin was dark brown, its mouth was a row of air holes, and its feet had sharp claws. The hook-like claws easily pierced the stone layer, hanging it obliquely on the wall, a tentacle tail swaying behind it. The Resentful Orphan had arrived.
