Doomsday… Although "Justice" Audrey had long known about the prophecy of doom from that demigod of the Church of Knowledge, she had always lacked a real sense of it, always thinking it was propaganda used to fool the public.
Even though she had already experienced a war in which she was an exceptionally insignificant individual, she never thought the world was only a dozen years away from doomsday.
There wasn't a single sign of it!
However, the one saying the prophecy this time was "Mr. Fool's" Blessed, the ever-reliable "World" Mr. Gehrman Sparrow, who dared to set his sights on Angels. Moreover, his tone was so certain, as if he had truly seen what was going to happen in a dozen years.
This made Audrey instinctively choose to believe, her heart sinking, feeling both tense and panicked.
Besides this, she felt her confusion recede a lot—there were only a dozen years left until the end of the world. Even a drowning person would struggle a bit, let alone a Sequence 4 demigod in perfect condition.
Doomsday… As a Cardinal of the Church of Storms, "The Hanged Man" Alger had seen many doomsday prophecies recently, but those unverifiable things were nowhere near as impactful as "The World" Gehrman Sparrow's extremely solemn warning. The shock each brought was on totally different levels.
At the same time, he keenly noticed a detail: it was that "The World" said even gods would be destroyed.
Alger's first reaction was that Gehrman Sparrow was being disrespectful to "Mr. Fool," because "Mr. Fool" was also a deity.
But he quickly dismissed this thought. After all, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow was "Mr. Fool's" Blessed, His most devout believer. Other members of the
Based on the two premises that "Gehrman Sparrow would not disrespect Mr. Fool" and "He said even gods would be destroyed," "The Hanged Man" Alger quickly reached another conclusion:
In the heart of "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, "Mr. Fool's" status was higher than that of a True God!
This… Alger never doubted "The World" Gehrman Sparrow's insight. After all, this was an expert who often dealt with Angels.
This realization left him both shocked and skeptical, unable to find a more reasonable explanation.
Having advanced to a demigod with the blood of the "Serpent of Fate," and corresponding to Sequence 3, called the "Prophet," "The Hermit"
Regarding the future, this "Occultist" was also lost, not knowing in which direction to exert her efforts other than improving herself.
Doomsday… "Judgement" Xio and "The Magician" Fors exchanged a look across "The Hermit" lady, sensing the tumultuous waves rising in each other's hearts.
They had never imagined the life they considered beautiful, without any other accidents, could at most only last another dozen years.
By that time, they would be in the prime of their lives. Even if they didn't become demigods, they wouldn't have to worry too much about the increased tendency to lose control brought on by their aging bodies.
Because it was "The World" Gehrman Sparrow who spoke, neither of the ladies doubted the truth of the doomsday prophecy for a second, feeling both fearful and heavy-hearted.
At first, "The Sun" Derrick couldn't suppress a certain dejection. The
Soon, he adjusted his mindset and chose to trust "Mr. Fool."
Since this great existence could save the City of Silver from the Forgotten Land of the Gods, He could certainly stop the arrival of the apocalypse.
"Even though I am the vampire messiah for the doomsday, I never imagined it would come so soon… I'm just a Count…" "The Moon" Emlyn couldn't help but frown slightly, like a student who had only been in class for a few days was suddenly facing an exam.
Of course, it also excited him a bit. After all, he would soon fulfill his mission and display his greatness before his kin.
"The Star" Leonard had heard about the doomsday prophecy from the old man Pallez Zoroaster. Although he didn't know why it had developed this way, he already had some psychological preparation. At this moment, he was the first to come back to his senses and asked:
"Why has the apocalypse suddenly descended? There isn't a single sign of it right now…"
Klein manipulated the puppet, "The World," and responded:
"It's just that you haven't discovered the signs.
"Do you really think a war of gods would break out without any reason?"
Seeing that the members of the Tarot Club were all shocked and lost in thought, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow added another sentence:
"As for the specific reasons, you are not qualified to know for now. Even just learning about them would bring contamination that is difficult to resist. Only existences at the Angel level and above have a chance of withstanding it."
This is similar to what the demigod from the Church of Knowledge said… It's also close to the corruption of the cosmos… I seem to have forgotten something… Mr. "The World" seems to already understand the whole story… He isn't afraid of corruption? Is he… already an Angel? Is He? One thought after another flashed through "Justice" Audrey's mind, and she keenly sensed that "The World" Gehrman Sparrow might have already completed his advancement and become a true mythical creature.
In ancient times, this could even be called a Subordinate God, a member of the divine!
Immediately after, "The Hanged Man" Alger, "The Hermit" Cattleya, and other members of the Tarot Club all deciphered this fact, understanding that "The World" Gehrman Sparrow had already stood at the pinnacle of the real world and become an Angel walking on earth.
Some guessed that this was related to Gehrman Sparrow's previous plans to deal with a mythical creature, while others believed it was a benefit brought about by "Mr. Fool's" further awakening for His Blessed.
Regardless, the Tarot Club, apart from its convener and host, had a member with the status of an Angel for the first time!
Of course, regarding the matter of "The World" Gehrman Sparrow advancing to Sequence 2, they weren't too surprised; they had long since become numb to it.
