Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Amani? You actually have the intention to let God descend into a vessel."

Klein's disembodied body passed through a long line of soft light, and a little gray mist spread around his body, isolating Klein from this space whose destiny is constantly being deconstructed and digitized.

If you want to describe it, this place is like a large net that is constantly weaving and breaking. The appearance of a broad round wheel is shown below the net, but the several pointers on the round wheel are quite willful and never move in a normal order. Each hit falls in an unpredictable and random direction.

The goddess of the night summoned by Klein is still wearing the same Gothic dress. Even if the divine descending container is changed, her appearance remains the same as it is shown in front of other gods.

There was also a layer of darkness surrounding her to prevent herself from being caught by the random rays of light.

"She angrily locked Amon in the Garden of Eden in Dazhbog yesterday. After that, he returned to 'Wheel of Fortune' and never came out."

Klein lowered his half-high silk hat in great distress: "I heard Bernadette's complaint. She said that Lao Huang ran here a few days ago for some unknown reason and never responded to calls to him to go back and handle official duties. pray."

"Roselle is here too? It was Dazhberg who asked me to call Esther. He hoped that I could understand the situation here. Although I don't know why she and Amon quarreled... This is really inappropriate. It’s none of my business, it’s just that she’s a little afraid of me.”

"Adam takes care of his brothers...children."

But it would be better for the two of them to spend less time together. Klein and Amanysis thought this at the same time in their hearts.

Klein couldn't help but glance at the pointer jumping randomly underneath.

This is also a good thing Amon did. The wheel of fate, which was originally just a sequence of possibilities, turned into a chaotic farce under Amon's hand.

The god of mischief who weaves endless fate is even more troublesome. But Esther and Huang get together? This is really a rare thing.

The reason why Amanisis had to wait for Klein was because the Source Castle had accommodated "Zoya" for a long time, and Klein's ability to capture the "Ball of Destiny" was stronger.

Esther's poor naming skills can be seen from here.

Dariborg helped her open up a new pseudo-god kingdom in the star realm and stick it closely to the moon closest to the earth. However, Esther directly used the name of her new card in the Tarot Club, "The Destiny of Destiny". Wheel", there is no way, the "lover" card was deceived by someone and never returned to her.

As for the private space in God's country, Esther directly decided on the name based on the spherical shape of the appearance, completely giving up using any brain cells to think about it.

At this time, the independently carved out round ball of light was constantly rolling to different directions on the wheel of fate as the pointer below it beat randomly, like an endlessly rotating bet.

Klein snapped his fingers, and the evil pointers were instantly locked in place. The gray fog around him surged outwards, extending out several huge black tentacles, wrapping the ball of light inside and pulling it to Above the wheel.

After breaking away from the random wheel of fortune, the ball of light stopped rolling and floated quietly among the many thin threads that were constantly turbulent and fluttering. Klein confirmed that its state was stable before retracting its tentacles and flying over with Amanysis.

When the two were a few meters away from the light ball, a simple smooth wooden door naturally appeared above it. Klein raised his hand and knocked, but there was no movement inside the door.

Klein and Amanysis looked at each other: "Did Adam say anything when he asked you to come over?"

"He asked me to be stricter with Esther. Because of Amon, He rarely preached to Esther." Amanisis' voice was also a little confused.

The doubts in Klein's eyes became more and more intense: "Be stricter? Okay, we all know that Adam is not very good at handling the relationship between Amon and Esther... but why should he preach to Esther?"

Amanysis shook his head, and Klein no longer struggled with this. Since the people in the room refused to answer the door, he decisively turned the round door handle and pushed the door inwards.

A strange buzzing sound sounded, and a Möbius strip instantly appeared on the wooden door. Klein and Amanysis were caught off guard. The next moment, their figures appeared some distance away, just as Klein was about to circle. The position of the two people when the ball was fished out.

"She seems to be not just guarding against Amon." The corners of Amanisis's mouth curled up under the black veil, "It seems that she is also including us."

Klein tightened the black gloves on his hands: "She set it so that no matter who pushes the door, it will enter the cycle before the 'Destiny Ball'. It is really a willful usage..."

Approaching the light ball again, Klein's left hand was on the door handle. This time he activated his ability the moment he opened the door.

"Fool"!

He and Amanysis were trapped in the "restart" time skip, and this time the two gods stepped into the light ball at the same time.

Just after Klein activated his ability, a black shadow instantly flew up from the shadows around the lower pointer, followed the two of them and rushed into the door of the light ball.

Although there was still a hazy soft light in front of me when I crossed the threshold, the moment I entered, the surroundings became dark.

Amanysis raised her hands, a faint lightless shadow rose from her body, and the hidden power also enveloped the surrounding area, causing no abnormal movement in this space. Klein also silently snapped his fingers, and a gray mist arced around the two of them before disappearing, providing double insurance to ensure that they would not be discovered in advance by the two people deep in the room.

Klein looked around: "Why is it so dark here?"

"Zoya and Gustav are watching 'TV', at least that's what she explained to me." A smiling male voice sounded behind the two of them.

The corners of Klein's eyes twitched: "When did you come in?"

The surrounding darkness suddenly weakened, and the figures following Klein and Amanysis suddenly became clear. Amon was still wearing the black classical robe, with a kind and cheerful smile.

It was obvious that He had stolen a little bit of darkness just now.

There is a crystal-polished monocle in his eye socket. This thing is more of a habitual decoration, and its uniqueness has long belonged to Klein. But Amon was wearing something completely inconsistent with his usual image on his head. It was a question mark headband with a spring base. As he moved forward behind the two of them, the question mark on the top was constantly swinging back and forth.

No one asked where the thing on his head came from. Anyway, it was obviously in Esther's hands.

Amon waved friendly to the two old gods and showed a smile that made Klein subconsciously clench his fists.

Klein really wanted to open a crack in the spiritual world and cooperate with "Fooling" to throw Amon out directly.

Amanysis ignored the sudden appearance of the Son of God, and instead walked straight to the deepest part of the space along the soft cream-colored carpet under her feet. There was a faint sound from there, with intense music and gentle girlish voices dubbing constantly. , using a language she was familiar with but didn’t recognize.

Klein sighed: "I seem to know what they are doing."

"You know it now?" Amon obviously didn't believe this. Since the birth of the "Lord of Mysteries", he has never believed a word of Klein. All subconscious reactions are on the alert for "fooling" , almost engraved doubts into his instincts.

Klein's voice lowered, and it was obvious that he was speechless at the truth: "This is a supplementary night for the dead house..."

What's more important is that these two people didn't call him?

Amon recited this sentence twice silently, whether he understood it or not, but Esther seemed to have said something similar. If he had known earlier, he should have captured more remnants of the past in the Curly Baboon Research Association, and searched for more people who did not belong to this group. Memories of the times, saving you from feeling like an outsider every time.

Well, it’s not too late to do that.

In the years before the end, Amon didn't have such a leisurely mind, but now he does.

Amanisis suddenly reached out and covered her mouth to make her weird smile less obvious: "I really didn't know that 'Li Xing' had such a personality, and even Esther had such preferences."

Klein cleared his throat: "Well, maybe it was Lao Huang who led her away!"

"No, this was proposed by Esther herself. My clone eavesdropped clearly at the time." Amon interjected from behind the two of them.

"Amani, can't you help me hide the 'Angel of Time' completely?" Klein didn't even lower his voice. He was speaking to the person behind him.

Amanysis did not take any action: "I don't like his father coming to chat with me again. His 'omniscient and omnipotent' father is quite annoying."

The passage extends to the end, where there is a large screen, two cushioned sofas and a low coffee table. There are many snacks piled on the coffee table, many of which are familiar to Klein - they were the ones he agreed to help before, for Estella. The historical projection that comes out.

So she was using it to prepare for a make-up night! ?

The brightly colored picture on the screen happened to show a life-and-death struggle, but the atmosphere between Esther and Russell seemed to be more intense than the characters in the animation.

"Red and Blue have been involved in CP since ancient times. What else is there to say besides true love? The best in the world!"

"Do you know who the protagonist of this show is? Of course it's black and pink! That's a shameless thing!"

"It has to be pink and black! Do you understand the power of redemption and redemption!?"

A chocolate ball drew a parabola from mid-air, but when it was about to fall, it encountered a twisting force and was thrown back.

"Damn! Why are you cheating! You agreed not to use extraordinary power!" Esther became anxious and jumped directly from the lying position to the ground. She grabbed the bag of honey butter potato chips on the table with her backhand and wanted to put it into Rose. Throw it over your head.

But when she saw the three people behind the sofa, Esther froze on the spot and made no further moves.

As her spirit was violently turbulent, the picture on the TV suddenly erupted into snowflakes, and then completely turned into darkness amidst the buzzing sound.

Russell also sat up dissatisfied. You could see that he was still holding a handheld game console in his hand: "Hey, hey! Why do you just throw it away and turn off the screen!? Isn't it time yet? We Can you still..."

He saw the three people behind the sofa.

Amanysis only concealed the connection that a few people had when they stepped into this space. Klein fooled the underlying rules here to warn outsiders, but they did not deliberately conceal their existence, so Esther and Russell were together. Turn back and see them clearly.

"Hi~" Amon smiled and waved to the two people with dull faces, and stood behind Klein and Amanysis without moving at all.

It was obvious that he was worried that as soon as he stepped out of the hidden area, he would be thrown out of the room by Esther. It would be a pity that he would miss the good show at the moment.

Esther laughed dryly, and subconsciously turned her head to look at her "comrades" on the same front, only to find that Russell's figure had become distorted and unreal - he ran away! Without saying a word, he ran away decisively!

The Black Emperor used the ability of the stand-in at one moment, and then twisted himself to the outside of the "Destiny Ball" at the next moment, and returned directly to his own kingdom of God through the public backdoor left by Esther for all visitors.

Russell's substitute, who gradually distorted and dissipated, also left a sentence in Chinese: [Dead Taoist friends are not dead, poor Taoists, take the first step and wish you good luck! ]

Esther felt like her teeth were about to break. Klein looked at him with a look that was both reproachful and wanting to laugh. She really couldn't stand it!

Diverting the flames of war is another way to get rid of the embarrassing situation, so Esther decisively pointed at Amon: "Why are you here!?"

"I came in with your 'lord'." After Amon said this, he whistled. When Klein turned back expressionlessly, the whistle was immediately cut off.

Klein looked at Esther again, suppressing a smile while keeping a straight face: "So you don't even go out, and you're doing this kind of thing?"

"This, this is," Esther's hands subconsciously gestured in the air, "Isn't this considered taking annual leave in advance..."

"But you are not a hired worker, and God does not say anything about annual leave." Amon interjected with a smile.

This time it was Amanisis who glared at him: "If I remember correctly, you are the one who truly holds the power of the Destiny Weaver, right?"

"Sharing, strictly speaking, sharing. She has the support of the 'Lord of Mysteries' behind her. What can I do?" Amon muttered dissatisfied.

"I will truthfully convey your attitude to Dazhbog."

"Tsk."

Klein sighed silently in his heart. It was hard to tell whether it was for the childish "God of Karma" in front of him or for the equally childish "Goddess of Destiny" - which god would drag other gods to spend the "Night of Death in the House"? "ah!

Instead, because the end of the world has passed, she is even more indulgent... Haha, Lao Huang thinks he can escape like this? Bernadette had been waiting for him for a long time.

Klein pushed up the edge of his silk hat: "Let's go, don't waste too much time. During the New Year, more people will pray to you."

"...Waiting for you." A smile appeared under Amanysis's veil. Esther saw her lips move slightly, but she did not hear the original word clearly.

Esther followed the two of them obediently and asked subconsciously: "What?"

"Many people are waiting for you." Amon tilted his head and answered first.

But Esther always felt that Amanysis had said a name, and she was a little confused. Could she have missed a name with her own hearing?

However, several people had already reached the door. Before Esther could ask questions, Klein snapped his fingers and combined the concepts of "walking out of this door" with leaving the "Wheel of Fortune".

He and the Night Goddess stepped out first.

Just when Esther wanted to follow, Amon suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"What's wrong?"

Amon did not speak. Esther looked back and found that in Amon's other hand, he was holding the ridiculous question mark headdress.

"If you don't like it, just throw it here. You don't have to carry it with you all the time."

"Yeah, I don't like it..." Amon smiled casually, "Just like I don't like your too casual style, and your always too overflowing emotions."

Esther chuckled, but held Amon's hand, trying to pull him out: "That's a shame, I won't change it, I'm very satisfied with who I am now."

But she failed to pull Amon.

"I'm not satisfied." Amon said.

Esther glanced at him funny: "Although you are angry, you are so honest today. Are you being 'fooled'?"

"What if I'm about to die?" Amon smiled briskly, "Then of course I will take this opportunity to say more things that I haven't had time to tell you."

Esther looked at him in surprise, but when Amon was waiting for her to laugh or question, she just stretched out her hand, stood on tiptoes and gave him a strong hug - a very human comforting gesture.

Amon couldn't even remember the last time he was hugged by "others". It might have been the third era, but he was used to not remembering it anymore.

"Do you know the meaning of the name 'Esther'?"

"I have no idea."

lie.

"Then let me tell you, it is the 'Star of Hope'."

Her soft voice rang in his ears.

The two heartbeats suddenly overlapped and became one - or maybe there was only one heart from the beginning, twitching as it imitated the gesture of a biological pumping blood.

Esther took half a step back, holding the slightly dazed Amon tightly: "We are really going to be late. However, I can first wish you a Happy New Year."

Amon's other hand squeezed the question mark headdress tighter and tighter. For a moment, he was really shaken by everything in front of him.

Looking at the other pair of light-colored eyes in front of him, Amon could see the reflection of his stunned expression in them. He actually saw a bit of vulnerability, which did not belong to Esther, but to him.

Amon's expression became more and more indifferent: "Such a blessing..."

Meaningless.

"So, don't give up hope," she smiled brightly, "I'm still with you."

Esther pulled Amon's hand hard and led him into the open door. Outside the door was deep darkness.

——

From the deep and empty darkness, a very faint glimmer of light shone, and then it was protected in the palm of the hand. The closed fingers tightly covered the light, but it could not stop its tendency to become stronger.

Not even light can escape a black hole.

But a little bit of impossibility is transformed into possibility, a moth that eats time and destiny, and maybe it will be exchanged for a miracle.

The shadow follows the tangent to the edge of the black hole, crashes into the continuously being rolled up gas clouds, and rolls away along with the gushing electron stream.

The dead insects of time kept breaking off from the whole body. The decorative monocle had already broken into pieces and cut his right eye. The wriggling maggots with rings kept peeling off from the whole body, and then were stolen and recovered by Amon's continuous attacks.

He tightly held the light in his hand, and in the center was a round earring with a few stars.

The previous dream seemed to continue in the perception of the real world. The victims who were fleeing in embarrassment seemed to hear another heartbeat, overlapping with His fist pressing tightly on the heart.

Amon's tense expression suddenly relaxed, and his wanton smile returned to its original position.

Ha, happy new year...

Yes, after reading it, it happened to be a Happy New Year.

Thank you all, I am very happy to meet you in 2023, and I am grateful beyond words.

After the operation, I felt a little exhausted and finally finished writing this free chapter. As promised, I did it...

It is released on time. At this point, I have already fallen asleep due to physical problems. The update of the fourth volume will probably be delayed for a while.

I hope that in the new year, everyone will have someone and something they love, and that they can also receive this love in return, and that they can grasp that hope on their own path and not get lost in the days when clouds appear.

May there be hope that shines in your life.
