Upon hearing Miss Justiceâs suggestion, Klein thought for a moment and said, âGuide the dream towards matters encompassing the Second Epochâs history, the Queen of Calamity Cohinem, elf habits, and the most ancient language of the elves, as well as the legendary Western Continent.â
ââŚAlright.â Audreyâs eyes moved slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression as she digested the information that Mr. World had said.
Then, she walked to the Elven Songsterâs side.
Under her guidance, Mobetâs figure in the garden rapidly blurred as he vanished from Siatasâs dream.
The ripples in Audreyâs green eyes stirred once again as her lips quivered, as though she was reciting something.
Nas
The entire dream world began to shake as the garden was like a reflection of a lake that was smashed into pieces by an invisible stone that flew over from nowhere.
These fragments quickly gathered, but the scene that was restored was no longer a garden, but that of a palace made of coral.
Every detail in the palace was abnormally gorgeous. The entire structure was tall and majestic, but due to the layers of blue seawater, the sky couldnât be seen, making it appear dark and gloomy.
Inside it, coral pillars propped up an exaggerated dome, and the walls and the top of it were filled with terrifying murals of the storm.
Above the murals and corals, silver bolts of lightning followed a certain trajectory as if they were alive. Finally, they converged at the nine steps that were inlaid with pearls, diamonds, emerald, and turquoise.
Siatas was standing there, with many elves standing opposite her.
On the nine steps, there were two huge chairs that seemed to be formed purely of lightning. One of them occupied the center, just like the ruler of this palace. One of them was on its left, appearing less eye-catching.
Sitting on the throne in the middle was a man wearing a simple loose robe. His ears were pointed, and his facial features were rather soft and his hair thick. His hair was a mix of black and blue colors. Not only did his facial features look outstanding on their own, they combined together to form an even more handsome face. However, he directly gave one a tyrannous impression, as though he wouldnât say a word before picking up the electric spear leaning on his armrest, and then throwing it.
Sitting beside him was a beautiful woman with raven-black hair. Her hair was tied up into a high bun, her ears slightly pointed, and her facial features delicate. She had dark brown eyes that were as deep as the ocean, and in her hands, she was playing with a complicated golden wine cup.
Without needing Siatasâs introduction, Klein and company could easily determine that this couple was the Elf King, the ancient god, Soniathrym, and the Elf Queen, Queen of Calamity, Cohinem.
âThat traitor, Aurmir!â Suddenly, a voice resembling loud thunder boomed, causing the entire palace to shake violently. It made Siatas and the other attendants lower their heads in fear.
This roar came from the ancient god.
Aurmir, isnât that the name of the Giant King? Iâve recently been drinking red wine named after him. I have to say that its quality is indeed higher than anything else. Itâs just a little expensive⌠As Klein listened, he had a random thought.
He remembered that Little Sun had once said that Giant King Aurmir, Elf King Soniathrym, and Sanguine Ancestor Lilith-the three humanoid ancient godsâwere allies. They fought against the opposing camp formed by Dragon of Imagination, Ankewelt; Phoenix Ancestor, Gregrace; and the Mutant King, Kvastir. As for the Devil Monarch, Farbauti, and the Annihilation Demonic Wolf, Flegrea, they were independent beings who wanted to subvert all order and corrupt all living beings.
So, the alliance of three humanoid ancient gods eventually collapsed? Klein reined in his thoughts and waited for the subsequent changes in the dream.
Due to Derrickâs existence, Audrey wasnât unfamiliar with the history of the Second Epoch. Without any hesitation, she directly made Siatasâs dream continue its development.
Despite the terrifying roar, Queen of Calamity Cohinem wasnât affected at all. With a cold expression, âSheâ calmly said, âWasnât this already long confirmed?
âHisâ reputation is exactly the opposite of âHisâ physical build.â.
At that moment, the ancient god, Soniathrym, had already been enveloped by bolts of lightning. âHeâ said in a thunderous voice, âI thought that, after centuries, âHeâ would understand the global situation even more. Iâve overestimated âHisâ intelligence!
âIf âHeâ didnât sell out Lilith back then, how could âSheâ have perished?â
Eh⌠The Sanguine Ancestor Lilith perished so early? Kleinâs eyelids twitched as he quickly focused his attention.
After the Elf King finished roaring, Queen of Calamity Cohinem maintained âHerâ previous posture and said, âThatâs not a bad thing. At the very least, Kvastir and Flegrea were dragged to the grave together with Lilith. All the deities no longer trust each other. Even if we donât form an alliance, we can rule the ocean, lakes, and rivers.â
Upon hearing these words, Spectator Audrey, couldnât help but feel alarmed. She had no choice but to use Placate on herself.
This⌠It means that the Sanguine Ancestor Lilith, Mutant King Kvastir, and the Annihilation Demonic Wolf Flegrea perished in a battle between ancient gods. So the betrayal of Giant King Aurmir and the other ancient gods had nothing to do with the ancient sun god?
This is why Lilith didnât fully die and is still able to occasionally deliver divine revelations? And because of this, the Antigonus Mother of the Sky and Hornacis mountain range managed to survive to the Fourth Epoch⌠Klein increasingly believed that the history recorded in the City of Silver had many fabrications or vague records. Thankfully, he hadnât completely digested the Bizarro Sorcerer potion and didnât need to consider advancing to Scholar of Yore. Otherwise, the âhistoryâ he used might not be real.
In ancient times, the Sanguine Ancestor Lilith and Mutant King Kvastir perished due to the other⌠The Sanguine has recently been working with the Mutantâs temperance faction. Time sure is a great magician⌠Heh heh, if The Moon Emlyn were to know of this, I wonder what kind of expression he would have⌠The Star Leonard sighed as he thought.
As their thoughts raced, the ancient god, Soniathrym, scoffed and said, âRecently, Aurmir wanted to work with some secret sects that have sprouted from the humans to deal with us. Apparently, this matter is led by Harvest and Dawn.
âIâm even thinking of working with Ankewelt to destroy the giants and the Giant Kingâs Court. Unfortunately, every time I see that dragon, I have the urge to string it up on a grill. Itâs a type of attraction thatâs simply irresistible!â
Just as he said that, the ancient god suddenly vanished. The entire palace shook violently, causing a rift to appear.
All of this had yet to subside when a bolt of lightning flashed. Soniathrym returned to the massive throne, holding a spear made of pure lightning
âYou went to the Giant Kingâs Court?â Cohinem asked.
âI taught Aurmir a lesson,â Soniathrym answered without hiding anything.
Siatas and the other elven attendants lowered their heads even further. They faintly saw slippery tentacles that were thicker than their bodies flipping about on the ground, flashing with silver bolts of lightning.
Then, they shut their eyes.
The dream changed as Siatas ârecalledâ her interaction with other elves.
With their conversations and interactions, Klein, Leonard, and Audrey learned that Siatas lived in a relatively peaceful time period in the Second Epoch. The giants, elves, dragons, devils, and phoenixes coexisted, splitting up their rule over the Northern and Southern Continent, as well as the Five Seas. Vampires, demonic wolves, treants, sea monsters, mutants, and humans were vassals of the different factions, occupying the lower-middle classes.
âThis doesnât resemble the history recorded by the Church. Even the legends in the City of Silver arenât like this.â Leonard sighed when he heard that. âOld Man probably doesnât know this much.â
âThat isnât necessarily true.â Klein shook his head indiscernibly. âMany existences in the Second Epoch have survived to the Fourth Epoch, or even to this very moment.â
âFor example the Wisdom Angel?â Leonard asked with a guess.
âPerhaps.â Klein didnât give an affirmative answer as he said with a smile, âWhen you were talking to Mobet, I thought you would make Miss Justice stand further away.â
Leonard immediately shot a glance at him and yawned.
âYou mentioned before that thereâs an existence behind me that mightâve been seen the second Blasphemy Slate. Then, when I was conversing with Mobet Zoroast, wouldnât she be able to make the connection from me getting her to stand further away?
âBesides, you also mentioned that back when dealing with all of Amonâs avatars in Backlund, part of the clean-up operation involved Miss Justice. To a Sequence 5 Spectator, what she knows is sufficient. Once she understands the Zoroast familyâs matters, the truth is practically in front of her eyes. In that case, why waste time trying to avoid her. Itâs too troublesome. I might as well get Mr. Fool to be a witness as everyone vows not to divulge each otherâs secrets.â
Klein nodded slightly and said, âIf you were to get Miss Justice to stand further away, it wouldnât be easy for you to bring up the matter of making a vow to keep things a secretâŚâ
At this moment, Siatas continued, âAfter the death of the Sanguine Ancestor, the Annihilation Demonic Wolf, and the Mutant King, some of âTheirâ subsidiary gods were killed, while others surrendered to other ancient gods. There were a few who vanished as they hid in the shadows.â
Having âtransformedâ herself into an elf, Audrey immediately asked, âWho surrendered to who? Who died?â
Siatas recalled and said, âIâve never even seen it before. Uh, the Sanguineâs Goddess of Life and the Mutant Kingâs God of War were killed. No one even remembers âTheir names⌠The Annihilation Demonic Wolfâs God of the Dead, Salinger, came under the Phoenix Ancestor. The Sanguineâs Goddess of Beauty, Auernia, came under us⌠The Mutant Kingâs God of Spiritual Creatures, Tolzna, and Annihilation Demonic Wolfâs Goddess of Misfortune, Amanises, vanishedâŚâ
Salinger⌠Auernia⌠These two names made Kleinâs forehead twitch. He instinctively used his Clown powers to maintain his facial expression.
Auernia was the Blood Moon Queen, the wife of the Fourth Epochâs Emperor, the Empress of the Trunsoest Empire!
As for Salinger, âHeâ was the founder of the Balam Empire, the Emperor of the Underworld â Death!
