Chapter 1225: Guesses About the End — Chapter 1233

Fors, who was still fast asleep, suddenly woke with a start and instinctively looked out the window.

She was no stranger to this experience. Before becoming a member of the Tarot Club, she had woken up several times in the middle of the night like this due to the Full Moon curse. But today, she didn't feel the familiar pain, just an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

Since the curtains blocked the window, Fors couldn't tell what time it was from the faint light. She instinctively got out of bed, walked to the window, and in one swift motion pulled open the two layers of curtains—the fabric one and the sheer one.

Sunlight pierced through the thin mist and flooded the room, dispelling the accumulated darkness. Fors stood by the window, looking up at the sky, a clear look of confusion on her face.

The sun had already risen, and the crimson moon had long since set. Why did she still have the feeling that the full moon curse was about to arrive?

What's more, there were still many days until the next full moon!

…………

Intis Republic, capital Trier.

Early-rising astronomers, mysticism enthusiasts, and hidden Beyonders among the common folk all cast their eyes toward the sky.

The layered clouds of the night had completely dissipated, and the huge, bright moon hid the light of all the stars.

The moon's color was no longer the familiar crimson; it was pure white and extraordinarily bright.

All who witnessed it were stunned. This was a moon they had never seen before.

Neither ordinary human textbooks nor books on mysticism had ever recorded such a phenomenon!

Aside from the common crescent and full moons, and the occasional "Blood Moon", the moon had never undergone such a change. At least not since the start of the Fifth Epoch, in the past thirteen hundred years! Absolutely not!

At this moment, the witnesses realized that besides the two states of crimson and blood-red, the moon also had other colors.

…………

The God Abandoned Land, City of Silver.

Since it was an afternoon with a very high frequency of lightning, Derrick and others noticed the abnormality in the sky.

The lightning and darkness they were accustomed to completely vanished within just a few seconds without a trace. The blood-red circular light that occupied half of the sky was so obvious, so huge, illuminating everything with incredible clarity.

The quicker-minded residents of the City of Silver immediately associated this with the descriptions and pictures of the moon in their general education textbooks. Thoughts of shock and confusion flashed through their minds: "Is this the moon?"

"The Crimson Moon?"

"We actually saw the red moon..."

Soon, the red moon before their eyes shed its blood color inch by inch, revealing a bright, cold, and graceful figure.

The residents of the City of Silver grew even more confused, unsure of what had just happened.

Derrick Berg, who had heard about the outside world from Mr. The Hanged Man, Justice, and other Tarot Club members, was even more stunned and surprised than them, because this was a natural phenomenon that didn't even exist outside the God Abandoned Land.

A few seconds later, the moon disappeared, and deep darkness engulfed everything once more. The constant lightning became the main source of light.

"What just happened?"

"Did you see that red thing?"

"The moon! That was the moon!"

"That was the Crimson Moon!"

"Could this be a sign that we're about to escape our current predicament?"

"Will our second expedition to the Giant King's Court go smoothly and open the door to the outside world?"

Amidst the doubt and confusion, the vast majority of the City of Silver residents subconsciously regarded this phenomenon as a good thing, an auspicious omen in mysticism. Only Chief Colin Iliad, Six-Man Council Elder Lovia, and a few others looked grim, with furrowed brows.

…………

Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.

Klein, having basically figured out Amon's deceptive methods, instinctively turned his attention back to the "secrets" he had gained this time.

He had had some guesses about the content, but when it was truly revealed, he found it was more terrifying, more exaggerated, and more despairing than he had imagined: "Successfully getting the 'Starry Sky' to gaze upon me proves that at least most of the secrets Amon revealed are true...

"Above Sequence 0, there really is another level. This should be the rank of the Ancient Sun God, but its state seemed to be not quite right, as it was backstabbed, fell, and disintegrated.

"...According to Amon, describing this level as 'The Creator' is inaccurate. He uses 'Above the Sequences' to name it... Some beings also use 'Beyond Sequences' to describe that rank, meaning escaping the limits of Beyonder pathways?

"...Deities refer to this rank as 'Old One', 'Outer Deity', 'Starry Sky'... From this, two things can be seen. First, in the vast universe outside this world, in the boundless starry sky, there exist 'Old Ones' and 'Outer Deities', beings of the 'Creator's level. For example, the one that encompasses the moon..."
