Chapter 308 Amon in the Tomb
Evan had always harbored doubts about the ancient god "Lilith" behind Emlyn White.
Despite gathering information from various channels and sources, Evan was unable to reach a definitive conclusion.
Of course, this is not surprising at all. Even within the vampire clan, there are doubts about whether their ancestor, Lilith, is still alive, and they have even split into three factions.
One faction believes that the ancestor was only severely injured in the Second Era, and was only able to respond to the vampires while in slumber.
One faction believes that their ancestors were killed in the Second Epoch, and that the one responding to them now is the evil god "Primordial Moon"!
The best example is all the people who prayed to the Red Moon and suffered the backlash of the curse!
The last group simply believed that their ancestor wasn't dead, but had gone mad!
That makes a lot of sense, after all, the vampires have seen far too many mad gods in their long history!
Although the three factions argued endlessly, the vampire high command basically forbade the clansmen to pray to the Red Moon and did not think about correcting the wrongs. It was as if even if the ancestors were still alive, they had already decided to lie down and do nothing, and had no interest in the revival of the vampire clan!
This is fundamentally different from those madmen in the Southern Continent who know that the Grim Reaper is dead, but are still obsessed with resurrecting him!
Evan and Klein chatted for a while longer, and seeing that the sky was gradually turning white, he said goodbye and left, as he still needed to coordinate various resources to help Xiu.
After Evan left, Klein immediately entered the gray fog and examined his surroundings through it. Finding no signs of being watched, he was somewhat relieved.
But at the same time, he was also considering the pros and cons of contacting Bernadette, and how he should conceal his identity as a "transmigrator and a fool" if he met Bernadette.
Two days have passed since the official forces of Backlund began their search of the elite squad under Burk Einhorn, and the results have been remarkable.
The most meritorious were Deputy Director Evan Horn's action team and the Night Watchers stationed in Backlund by the Church of the Goddess of Night. It can be said that they were experts; their skills were evident from the first move. Although Deputy Director Evan Horn had focused his main efforts on building a new army, a capable person is a capable person, and almost half of the results were achieved by his subordinates.
Furthermore, due to Evan Horn's public praise and promotion, Hugh Deercha's information was placed on the desks of all the bigwigs in Backlund, sparking much speculation.
Meanwhile, as Hugh Deercha completed his interrogation and submitted his report, Alice Einhorn's name was mentioned in an official document for the first time, causing a stir throughout MI8 and MI9.
Combined with the testimonies of some noble youths present at the Intis Embassy massacre, MI9 has basically confirmed that the person in charge of intelligence for the Fursac Empire in Backlund is a princess!
The fact that a princess could independently take charge of a department in the patriarchal Fusak Empire is an unusual phenomenon that has sparked much thought and attention.
Evan even used some Intis spies he obtained from Becklong to pass this information to Intis' Eighth Bureau.
Regarding Alice Einhorn, some have even speculated, based on the fact that the current emperor of the Fussac Empire has also publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the heir, whether that emperor might violate ancestral precepts and pass the throne to his daughter.
Some high-ranking officials who know that the Hunter's method can turn women into men are speculating that the Fussac Empire may be planning to break the Sacred Oath and prepare to break the clause that the king cannot be promoted to Sequence 4!
Amidst the conflicting opinions, the Witch Cult, which received the notification from the Augustus family, was also shaken.
What shocked them was not the possibility that the so-called "Holy Oath" might be broken, but that this Princess Alice Einhorn of Fussac was actually the Sequence 5 "Witch of Pain" who killed Beckron, and was not the Gnostic witch they had previously guessed.
This news greatly shocked the Witch Cult. They couldn't help but wonder if the Einhorn family of the Fursac Empire had formed an alliance with the Gnostic Society. Otherwise, how could the Witch Path Sequence 5 formula have been leaked?
If this is true, then the contest between the Witch Cult and the Gnostic Society will undergo a major change, with a very significant impact!
After the news reached the higher-ups of the Witch Cult through several hands, the Witch Cult reacted quickly, sending several demigod-level witches to the Fusak Empire to investigate and gather as much intelligence as possible!
In the capital of the Fusak Empire, Saint Milon, the Witch Cult and the Einhorn family were locked in a fierce power struggle, rife with espionage.
The more the Witch Cult couldn't find any news about Alice Einhorn, the more they felt that the Gnostic Society might indeed have joined forces with the Einhorn family, and that they must have some ulterior motives!
Meanwhile, in Backlund, the White Witch, Katarina Pelle, secretly interrogated the imprisoned members of the Berk Einhorn's minions and obtained the same conclusion as Hugh Deercha—Princess Fursac had indeed become the 'Witch of Pain'.
This caused the Witch Cult, which had relinquished control of the Backlund Smog, to immediately focus its main attention on the Gnostic Society and Alice Einhorn!
This left Christina, the Gnostic demigod and Helen's mother, who had just returned to Backlund, inexplicably forced to deal with the situation!
And because of the strong official investigation, the heinous Backlund serial murders finally began to be taken seriously.
Such an arrogant and elusive serial killer is no ordinary murderer; we must strike hard!
As the demons of Burke Einhorn were nearly wiped out, all the major official factions simultaneously received missions to find the serial killer.
At this very moment, Evan, who caused all of this, arrived at White Cliff, a town on the outskirts of Backlund.
He came here for Klein's potion ingredients, but even more so for the tomb's owner—Amon!
Because the location of Amon's tomb was described relatively clearly in the original work, Evan found the entrance to the tomb in just half an hour!
The tomb is located in a very unusual place, with the quietly flowing Stratford River winding around a cliff.
The entrance to the tomb was located at the bend in the river at the cliff. Once Evan found the right spot, he simply opened the tomb entrance while holding a small box.
After opening the stone door that had been sealed for at least a thousand years, Evan discovered a staircase made of black marble that led down to the burial chamber below!
Despite the erosion of over a thousand years, the black marble handrail still maintains sufficient hardness, without a single trace of corrosion!
As Evan descended the stairs into the underground tomb, he saw an asymmetrical structure and patterns formed by knife and axe cuts, characteristic of the Quaternary Solomon Empire.
The spacious tomb chamber is flanked by pillars on both sides, at the far end of which is a heavy, massive, double-leaf gray stone door!
Instead of rushing to open the stone door, Evan took out a cloth bag tied around his waist and threw it into the air.
In an instant, the cloth bag expanded in the air, generating a strong suction force that drew everything in the tomb into it!
Suddenly, a whirlwind of activity swept through the tomb chamber. Various extraordinary materials, even those growing on the ground, were uprooted and flew into the pockets.
This is the space pocket that Evan asked Collins for in advance, to store the spoils of this trip!
Collins is a cross-path demigod. He was previously the 'Mystic' of Sequence 4 of the Mystic Path, while the 'Roll Professor' is the 'Mystic Path Sequence 6' of the Mystic Path.
At this moment, he is also a Sequence 3 'Mystic Scholar', and creating a time-limited space pocket is a piece of cake for him!
At this moment, some extraordinary living creatures were also forced to reveal themselves and rushed towards Evan, the only human in the tomb and the owner of the cloth bag.
Evan had anticipated this, and directly infused the small box in his hand with spiritual energy, causing it to emit a captivating red light.
Under the red light, all the monsters revealed their true forms and let out painful cries, but then their cries grew fainter and fainter until they were completely quiet!
This is a mandatory "link" that only "War Bishops" can possess.
During the "Iron Knight" phase, the "Hunter" can only establish a mystical "connection" with a team that they have created and with whom they have a deep understanding.
Upon reaching Sequence 3, "War Bishop," hunters can achieve "psychic connection" with their team in the mental realm, forcibly incorporating all life into their team and transforming it into the form they desire!
This is also one aspect of the Hunter Path's absolute dominance in the realm of warfare; they only grow stronger with each battle, turning everything about the enemy into their own!
What Evan held in his hand was his spoils from the previous two days—the extraordinary trait of Burke Einhorn's "War Bishop"!
Robert wanted to help Evan keep this extraordinary trait safe, but Evan politely declined.
Gradually, all the monsters in the tomb knelt before Evan, pledging allegiance to him, or more precisely, to the small box in his hand.
All the materials in the tomb were put into a cloth bag in the air, which fell into Evan's hands and was tied back around his waist.
Evan turned his gaze to the door at the end of the tomb. Instead of going forward, he directly commanded the monsters he was "ruling" to push it open.
After the stone gate, sealed for thousands of years, was opened, Evan didn't care what was inside. He directly activated the small box in his hand and turned all the living monsters inside into 'subordinates' once again!
At this moment, Ai Wen leisurely walked into the passageway behind the stone gate!
Ignoring the monsters kneeling in the passageway, Aiwen, with his exceptional eyesight, spotted a picture frame hanging at the end of the passageway—the very same "ghost picture frame" often seen by the Amon family.
Seeing that it was exactly the same as the description in the original work, Evan continued to command a monster to step forward and cover the black cloth that had been prepared in advance.
During this process, the image of the monster appeared within the frame and fluctuated, attempting to absorb the monster, but without success.
If this ghostly frame can wrest control of the monster from the "War Bishop," I'll immediately leave the tomb and find Bernadette, Robert, Collins, and Mr. Azik to come over as a team!
Seeing that the ghostly picture frame was unable to absorb the approaching monster into its frame, Evan found it somewhat amusing.
Sure enough, even after the monster covered the ghost picture frame with a black cloth, it was not affected at all!
After putting away the ghost picture frame, Evan commanded the monster to open the black door at the end of the passageway.
After pushing open the stone door, Evan saw a very spacious tomb chamber with a high platform in the center, on which sat a dark black coffin.
There were lamp holders protruding from the surrounding walls, and white candles that were still burning.
None of the candlelight flickered when Evan opened the door to the sealed chamber; the silence was like a frozen moment, as if the scene had remained a thousand years ago.
"Oh? Look what I've got? A kid who can't see his own destiny at all?"
Unlike the original story, Archbishop Horamick Hayden of the Church of Steam and Machines only found a remnant of a Time Worm!
At this moment, a man with a smile on his lips, a broad forehead, a thin face, dark eyes, curly black hair, and wearing a crystal monocle sat on the coffin, crossed his legs, and looked at Evan at the door. A glint of light flashed from the monocle from time to time!
The thief's path leads to Amun, the King of Angels and the second son of the ancient sun god!
Seeing Amon's presence, Evan was not surprised at all. The moment Amon appeared, his eyes blazed with fire as he mobilized the power of the "City of Calamity" with all his might. At the same time, the small box in his hand once again emitted a dazzling red light, and the entire tomb was filled with the smell of gunpowder, while billowing mist surged forth!
Seeing that Evan didn't respond but instead chose to attack directly, Amon knew he couldn't trick him into the tomb. He could only adjust his glasses, trying to steal the small box and Evan's extraordinary abilities, hoping to see Evan's fate directly!
But in that very instant, a tremendous sense of crisis arose within Amon. His spiritual intuition told him that if he actually did that...
Not only this clone, but the original body may also suffer severe damage.
Meanwhile, Evan had completed sealing off the tomb chamber, and the "Fog of War," enhanced by the City of Calamity, completely severed all connections between this place and the outside world.
Even the connection between Amon and the main body and other clones was completely severed—this was the absolute suppression of the 'City of Calamity' in terms of status!
Meanwhile, having recovered from his immense fear, Amon calmly remained seated on the coffin, gazing meaningfully at the increasingly dense fog around him. He then spoke to Evan, who hadn't yet seized the opportunity to act:
"What do you want? What's the point of all this fuss?"
Even though Evan sensed through the fog of war that there was indeed only Amon in the tomb, he didn't relax at all. Pointing at Amon himself, he said:
"You! Become my subordinate, and I will give you a great gift in the future!"
As the god of deception, you should be able to tell I'm not lying!
Amon looked at Evan, and at the monsters who had rushed into the tomb, all wielding flaming spears. His smile gradually widened until he finally burst into laughter, and after a long pause, he shouted:
"Okay! Remember to keep your promise!"
The moment Amon agreed, the surrounding red light spread to his body!
