Chapter 592: The Arrogant Will

Chapter 592: The Arrogant Will

Is everything over?

In the capital of the Intis Republic, in the prayer hall of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, Pope Ross Hurley gazed at the sun emblem that had lost all its radiance and sighed heavily.

He had anticipated this day, but he hadn't expected it to come so soon.

The former sun had fallen, and the usurper had also perished. The newly born sun seemed to be split into two uneven parts.

This was the limit of what he could sense; deeper matters were beyond his reach and belonged to the realm of the gods.

The only consolation was that he had bet on the new sun, even though it still appeared weak.

Ross Hurley walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window and gazed at the dim, lightless sky, lost in thought.

It should snow heavily tonight.

Tomorrow, the sun will rise again and dispel all the cold.

This was the final mourning.

"Your Holiness, the Consul invites you to the palace for a discussion."

Ross Hurley merely nodded, signaling the messenger to leave.

Indeed, it was time to talk. The fall of the Eternal Blazing Sun was a massive blow to the entire Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

He had foreseen the future again and knew that two different voices would emerge, plunging the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun into internal strife once more.

…

"A sunless day, the loss of the sun... Eternal Blazing Sun..."

Klein noticed this unusual scene. The dim sky was definitely not a natural phenomenon, leaving only one possibility.

Just like when the Lord of Storms fell, it rained heavily.

"The God of War, the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun... Of the original seven true gods, only the Goddess of the Night, the Earth MOTHER, the God of Steam and Machinery, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom remain."

"The prophesied apocalypse hasn't even arrived, and things are already in such chaos. I can't imagine what it will be like when the apocalypse actually comes."

Klein sighed a few times and then suddenly noticed the paper crane on the bedside table move slightly, then fly up and land on his shoulder. In an instant, he was pulled into the dream world.

Will seemed different today.

Klein looked at Will, who appeared before him, with a rare look of surprise in his eyes.

Today, Will had long silver hair that reached his waist, wore a simple and plain linen robe, and had overlapping wings of light behind him.

His expression was gentle yet somewhat indifferent, looking beautiful and dignified.

However, Klein felt that Will's features and this attire didn't quite match, as if he was wearing someone else's clothes that didn't suit him.

"What did you want from me earlier?" Will's tone was indifferent, even his voice carried an air of formality.

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Klein asked curiously, "Did you taste some delicious new ice cream?"

"Heh, do you think ice cream alone can satisfy me?"

"Can you put away your wings? It's tiring to keep looking up at you while talking," Klein said helplessly.

"This is the dream world; how can your neck get tired?"

"...Alright." Klein felt that Will was a bit arrogant today, giving off an annoying vibe.

"I'm very busy right now. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me."

His tone was becoming increasingly irritable.

Klein stared at Will for a moment, then carefully examined his attire and tentatively asked, "Did you steal this outfit from Ouroboros?"

"Nonsense, this is my true form from the beginning—sacred, handsome, and unparalleled."

"..." Klein patiently said, "Can you share some of your recent happy events?"

"This is not just a happy event," Will's expression instantly turned serious, "This is a great joy!"

After saying this, Will laughed heartily with his hands on his hips.

This scene was completely out of place with his angelic attire.

"Did you eat Ouroboros?" Klein could only think of this possibility.

Other happy events wouldn't have driven Will to such madness; only something related to Ouroboros could.

But Will had been hiding from Ouroboros in Backlund. How did he suddenly turn the tables and eat Ouroboros?

The fall of the Eternal Blazing Sun, Will eating Ouroboros... Is this the clash between the Stars, the True Creator, and Adam?

Mr. Hastur has gone so far; am I the most inconspicuous of the three transmigrators?

Klein fell silent. Will's joy didn't resonate with him; instead, it made him feel more melancholic.

"Yes, you're right," Will said with a smile, "I've collected three Sequence 1 characteristics, and the uniqueness has always been in my possession. Now I just need to wait for the day I become a god."

Klein was shocked. He had only been guessing, but it turned out Will had indeed defeated Ouroboros and collected three Sequence 1 characteristics.

"So when do you plan to advance to Sequence 0?"

This question seemed to touch a sore spot for Will, who remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I don't know."

"Don't know?" Klein's expression turned strange. How could such an important matter be unclear?

"May I ask what conditions you need for the Sequence 0 advancement ritual?"

Will stared deeply at Klein until Klein felt a bit uneasy before he finally spoke with a hint of resentment, "To find the right opportunity in the torrent of fate."

"When will the right opportunity come?"

"I don't know."

"..." Will sighed heavily, "The advancement opportunity might come tomorrow, in a few years, or it might never appear."

Klein was secretly amazed. This was purely a matter of luck, depending on whether you were fortunate enough.

"Then I wish you good luck," Klein could only offer this consolation.

"Is that all?" Will looked at Klein with wide eyes, incredulous.

"What else do you want?" Klein also widened his eyes, staring back at Will.

"Sigh, it seems the right opportunity hasn't arrived yet." Will looked bored and uninterested.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No..."

Klein didn't understand what Will was trying to say but felt that Will had some special expectations of him.

But Will didn't seem inclined to explain. Was there some taboo?

A taboo that couldn't be spoken of, because knowing it would cause some kind of change?

So he could only wait for Klein to discover the meaning?

Thinking of this, Klein glanced at Will, who nodded at him as if saying, "You get it."

This was something he had to realize on his own!

Although he wanted to help Will, he couldn't figure out what to do and could only apologize to Will.

"I believe that day won't be far off." Will flew over, patted Klein's shoulder with his wings, and said, "I believe in you."

"…"

Klein wanted to say that he didn't need such high expectations. If he couldn't fulfill them, it would be very embarrassing.

"I need to remain silent for a while and won't be able to help you."

"If you need help, you can go to the Stars. I believe your relationship doesn't need me to bridge the gap."

After a few words of advice, Will disappeared from the dream world.

"The Stars, my relationship with him... It's hard to describe," Klein chuckled and shook his head.
