Chapter 638: Current Situation of the Tarot Club Members

Venturing into the starry sky is a significant endeavor. The more Hastur gazes at the brilliant night sky, the more tranquil he feels inside.

"The stars are so splendid; I want to go up and see them too," Audrey nestled in Hastur's arms, expressing a rare moment of selfishness.

"There will be a chance in the future."

"Mr. Hastur, you must keep your promise."

"Of course." Hastur gently kissed Audrey's forehead, then looked at Sharon, who was silently leaning against his shoulder.

Seeing Hastur's gaze, Sharon rubbed her cheek against his shoulder and closed her eyes slightly.

Hastur pecked her lips lightly, then hugged both Sharon and Audrey tightly on either side.

...

In the Rosside Islands, when the Lamp God once again saw Hastur suddenly appear, a premonition arose. It felt that it was about to return to the stars!

That day was not far off!

"Stars, let us return to the cosmos together!" The Lamp God uttered words that made its soul tremble.

"Who said I was taking you back to the stars now?"

"I have seen it."

"For you, ten or eight years is just a fleeting moment, right?"

"It won't be that long." The Lamp God was confident in its premonition.

Hastur did not answer further but looked at Bernadette and said, "I'll take this wishing lamp with me first."

"Be careful, and come back soon." Bernadette removed the seal she had placed on the wishing lamp, "This is a blessing from me as a friend."

"Thank you."

Hastur expressed his gratitude, took the eagerly excited wishing lamp, and left the Rosside Islands.

"Stars, the cosmos." Bernadette watched Hastur leave, murmuring, "May the stars always shine brightly."

...

"When will we return to the stars?"

"Are you concerned about the Fallen Mother Goddess outside the cosmos or Adam and the True Creator within the original barrier?"

"Rest assured, once I am complete, I will definitely have the power to contend with the Fallen Mother Goddess. As for Adam and the True Creator, as long as you guide my true form to descend, they will be nothing."

Since the wishing lamp fell into Hastur's hands, the Lamp God began to chatter incessantly.

"Were you this talkative in front of Bernadette?"

"You should understand my current excitement."

"How did Bernadette usually deal with your habit of talking nonsense?"

"..."

"Let me guess, did she seal you inside the wishing lamp, not allowing you out?"

"..." The Lamp God weakly said, "I promise not to speak more than ten times in an hour."

"Isn't ten sentences too long?"

"It's ten times, not ten sentences."

"Tsk, you've learned to play word games."

"One must keep up with the times."

With the Lamp God by his side, Hastur did not feel bored.

After taking the wishing lamp, he did not immediately head to the stars but instead concealed his whereabouts, wandering freely.

If he went to the stars now, it would surely attract the attention of Adam, the Goddess of the Night, and many other deities.

Before leaving, he wondered if he could lure Adam and the True Creator out.

If he could severely injure them before heading to the stars, he could be more at ease.

However, Adam seemed to be aware of this and did not appear or show any signs after Hastur took the wishing lamp.

...

Above the gray fog, Klein once again convened the Tarot Club.

He keenly noticed that Miss Justice had recently advanced to Sequence 4 Manipulator, becoming the first member to enter a high sequence after himself and Miss Hermit.

Initially leading, Mr. Hanged Man was still a Sequence 5 Ocean Singer.

This sequence seemed to be a challenge for Mr. Hanged Man because his singing was indescribable, and he lacked enough confidence, resulting in slow role-playing and delayed potion digestion.

Currently, Miss Magician was a Sequence 5 Traveler, and Little Sun had recently advanced to Sequence 5 Priest of Light. Mr. Moon and Leonard had also reached Sequence 5, not far from advancing to Sequence 4.

Especially Mr. Moon, this vampire, uh, blood clan, who was close to advancing to Sequence 4 due to the Earth Mother Goddess's blessing, possibly within a month.

His entire mental state exuded a bright, warm tone, especially his gaze towards Little Sun, filled with proud confidence.

After Miss Justice's routine greeting, Klein slowly reviewed the four Roselle Diaries submitted by the Tarot Club members, especially noting Miss Hermit's recent active submissions.

It was estimated that after Roselle's return, Bernadette handed over some of her treasured Roselle Diaries to Miss Hermit.

"Free discussion." After reading the Roselle Diaries, Klein signaled they could begin this week's Tarot Club.

Cattleya glanced reverently at the high and mighty Fool, then took a deep breath and slowly said, "The Hidden Sage has fallen."

This statement exploded like a bomb, immediately drawing the attention of the Tarot Club members.

Their eyes were filled with shock and deep reverence. How long had it been since Mr. Fool said that the Hidden Sage was courting death?

Only half a month, right?

The Hidden Sage, the leader of the secret organization the Moses Ascetic Order, a Sequence 0, had fallen just like that?

Moreover, this time, the Hidden Sage's fall did not cause much commotion.

It was not like the previous events with the Storm and the Eternal Blazing Sun, which caused celestial phenomena.

One could say that the Hidden Sage fell quietly this time.

"It was the Stars and Mr. Fool who acted together." Cattleya's subsequent words confirmed the Tarot Club members' suspicions.

She did not reveal all the details of this matter because Emperor Roselle also participated in the action to exterminate the Hidden Sage and, after returning, put on airs in front of the Queen for several days.

However, the news of Emperor Roselle's resurrection was still a secret and could not be casually disclosed.

"Another deity has fallen." Fors felt a deep fear from the bottom of her heart.

If not for the need to play the Sequence 5 Traveler, she wouldn't want to leave the Rosside Islands at all; the outside world was too terrifying.

Leonard and Alger fell silent. As they pursued the path of the extraordinary, the existence at the end, Sequence 0, easily fell, giving them an inexplicable sense of sadness.

"Huh, the Hidden Sage is just an evil god; how can he compare to Lady Lilith, the Ancestor?" Emlyn muttered to himself, and as the topic's excitement began to fade, he cleared his throat.

"Everyone, recently, I acted as a bridge between Lady Lilith and Mr. Fool, and they officially formed an alliance in my mind, leading to the end of the current war."

"I, the savior of the blood clan, the promoter of peace."

"Lady Lilith personally bestowed a blessing, and I am about to advance to Sequence 4 Witch King."

After speaking, Emlyn glanced at Derrick, his eyes filled with provocation and pride.

Mr. Fool had quietly allied with the Earth Mother Goddess, ending the war and restoring peace?

With a Star on one hand and the Earth Mother Goddess on the other, Mr. Fool was truly adept at navigating relationships, his methods impressive.

The Tarot Club members were shocked, except for Audrey, who remained silent, knowing the inside story.

Hastur agreed to end the war because he didn't want to corner the Earth Mother Goddess, leaving a way out for Audrey and Sharon.

"You vampires have lived so long and haven't reached Sequence 4; isn't that quite embarrassing?" Derrick didn't indulge Emlyn's bad habits.

Furthermore, the end of the war and the restoration of peace didn't affect him much.

The sea was now calm, and with the increasing influence of the Star Sea Kingdom on the Rosside Islands, pirates were more restrained, leading the sea from chaos to order.

"You know nothing. We blood clan have long lifespans, unlike you giants, a short-lived species, only living two or three hundred years." Emlyn retorted disdainfully.

"..."

Audrey, Fors, Leonard, and others felt offended.

Humans typically live 80 to 100 years, and that's if they are long-lived.

After a moment of silence, Alger brought up other topics, moving past Emlyn's moment of glory.

Sitting in his seat, Emlyn felt somewhat sullen, but thinking about his room full of dolls, he quickly cheered up.

...

Time flowed like water, and October, November, and December passed, approaching the new year.

During this period, Hastur had not yet gone to the stars. He had the Mother Tree of Desire, the Supernova Dominator, and other Outer Gods and Old Ones create disturbances in the cosmos, attempting to mislead Adam and other deities.

Unfortunately, Adam and the Goddess of the Night remained quiet, showing no signs of awareness that he was about to head to the stars.

"New year, new atmosphere, hopefully, a good start."

Hastur glanced at the stars, unwilling to linger or wait any longer. As for reuniting for the new year, that would have to wait.

He frowned, feeling that such a decision seemed like setting up a flag.
