Chapter 90: Considerations

Chapter 90: Considerations

Aucuses' eyes dimmed as he finished analysing everything about Antigonus.

He discovered many anomalies in Antigonus' mind and fate.

Antigonus' fate had been tinkered with, as had his mind. It was a very delicate and precise manipulation.

It could even be considered flawless, because the person manipulating Antigonus did not introduce or alter his self or mind; they simply magnified his desire for promotion and his deep fear and hatred of Amanises and Aucuses.

Yes, Antigonus also seemed to hate him because his home and country were destroyed by Diana during the Seven Nations War.

Coming back, the manipulator was using this to push Antigonus in the direction they desired. They also made sure to tinker with his destiny so that Antigonus didn't find any coincidences and only thought everything was reasonable.

The manipulation was also very subtle and concealed. It was intricate enough that other gods would not notice anything wrong with Antigonus at first glance.

But it's a pity they ran into him...

He didn't have to think long to figure out who they were. There aren't many people in the world who can pull off such feats.

It was none other than the Sons of Creator, Adam and Amon. He can already guess what their motivations are for doing this.

Aucuses finally looked away from Antigonus, as he finished inferring the entire situation.

Nothing, not even Adam, could stop him from taking the Attend of Mysteries from them, if he wanted to. He didn't, however, after considering the future and dangers.

He didn't want to make too many changes to the fate of the mysterious pathways and end up attracting the attention of Celestial Worthy.

In the Original timeline, Adam and Amon did the same thing. They appear to have helped Antigonus become the Half-Fool without asking for anything in return. He always thought that the entire event was suspicious in and of itself. Now, after personally witnessing everything, he can make some educated guesses about Adam and Amon's intentions.

Suddenly, he turned and looked at Bethel, his eyes turning golden and purple, narrowing at Bethel.

He was well aware that, unlike Antigonus, his probing would not go unnoticed by Bethel. It will reveal his presence. But he didn't care.

His all-seeing eyes saw through Bethel, but he couldn't see much because Bethel noticed his prying and used his authority to stop him. But it was enough for him to see through Bethel's basic condition.

"Aucuses." Bethel Abraham turned to face Eternal Blazing Sun, who stood nearby. "What do you think you're doing?"

His tone revealed his rage.

Hearing Bethel's voice, Antigonus turned back as well. When he saw Eternal Blazing Sun, his eyes flashed with fear and deep hatred. He only gave the sun god a glance before bowing his head, not daring to look at the god directly. He also hid the uniqueness of fool in his robes.

"I was prying into you, Bethel Abraham." Aucuses smirked and admitted flatly. While continuing, he began walking towards them. "You always return to the cosmos, which is teeming with cunning and terrifying outer gods."

"Your authority can help you hide from them, but nothing is certain when it comes to the cosmos."

Antigonus nodded, knowing its for the best and bent down to take the attend of mysteries characteristic.

Bethel grabbed his shoulder and prepared to teleport him to the capital.

"Where are we going?" Antigonus inquired, tucking the characteristic into his robes.

"We're going to the royal palace." Bethel replied, his brow furrowed. "I need to talk to Alitsa about something important. You're also coming; it involves you as well."

Antigonus did not object. Then their figure was bathed in blue light, and they vanished in an instant with a blinding flash of light.

Aucuses arrived in the ruins of a mountain that was illuminated by twilight. He can see the plants and trees around the ruins withering and disintegrating into dust at incredible rate.

He also felt a "bug" or "error" in reality, which was affecting the order of reality.

He soon noticed two people standing around the various cracks in the fabric of reality.

One of them was a woman dressed in black amour and wielding a twilight sword. Her black hair was tied back, leaving only a few strands hanging on her beautiful face, which was also stained with blood of archangel.

The other was a man with black curly hair and black eyes was the other. His forehead was rather broad in contrast to his thin face. He was dressed in a dark suit with a long overcoat. A golden pocket watch hung from the overcoat's cuff. What stood out about him was the crystal monocle he wore over his right eye, which glistened with light.

They are Diana, the Angel of Wisdom, and Amon, the Angel of Time. They should have besieged Pallez Zorosarst.

He overheard their conversation as he walked towards them.

"Amon" Diana seethed as she walked towards the angel of time, who stood before her, her eyes fixed on the angel of time, of whom she had once been terrified. But her tone and voice now said otherwise. "Can't you make it any clearer? You Fucking Let Him Escape."

Amon chuckled as he adjusted his monocle. "Didn't you know I was going to do that? Nonetheless, you wanted me to join in the fight against poor Pallez." He shook his head comically.

Diana clenched her fist around the sword, gritting her teeth.

"Don't even try. You will regret it," Amon said, pointing to the sword in her hand. "Your mystical enchantment is powerful and all. However, it is still a long way from the original held by Aucuses."

Diana scabbarded her sword after hearing him. She huffed as she looked at Amon. "I'll tell Lord about this. You will have to answer to him."

Amon smiled amusedly before turning to look back, only to see Aucuses approaching them.

"You won't be waiting long. He has arrived. What are still you waiting for? Go and file your complaint with him."
