After a brief daze, Audrey quickly understood what the Sun was saying:

He said that Mr. Fool had sent His angel to purify Amon's clone!

An angel!

Mr. Fool had sent out an angel!

So Mr. Fool indeed had angels as his servants!

Every angel is at least Sequence 2 in strength...

Although this was only to be expected and I had long anticipated it, it was still exciting because it was finally confirmed!

And only a god can command angels!

Audrey's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she couldn't help imagining what Mr. Fool's angel looked like.

When will I ever be lucky enough to meet one... Her gaze at the head of the long bronze table was full of admiration and eagerness.

At the same time, her intuition told her that the usually gloomy Mr. World had also sat up straight in shock, which made her inexplicably proud.

The Magician, Fors, recalled the previous incident. She had merely asked Mr. Fool to help interfere with a divination, but instead she had seen a twelve-winged archangel descending, covering her astral body with its wings.

So it really was an angel... a black-winged archangel with twelve wings... And this indeed was Mr. Fool's routine operation, casually sending an angel to help a member of the gathering in danger... Fors suddenly dared not lift her head to look at the gentleman leisurely sitting at the head of the long bronze table.

Although she was only a Sequence 9, and although she had not received a complete education in mysticism, she had been moving in different extraordinary circles for three years. Even if she didn't deliberately inquire, certain things would reach her ears.

Included in these was a very important rule:

"One must not directly gaze upon a god."

In the past, Fors had not been deeply impressed by this phrase, but at this moment, she suddenly felt it was the truth, a truth distilled from countless bloody lessons.

An angel? So Mr. Fool indeed has angels! The Hanged Man shuddered in fear but was also inexplicably excited, to the point that his body trembled slightly.

Previously, revealing the honorable name, responding to prayers and rituals, had indirectly indicated that Mr. Fool was equivalent to a god, but it still lacked direct evidence. Now, an angel had appeared! Its very existence was enough to explain many things! Most importantly, angels represent the most direct deterrence! Mr. Fool's influence on the real world was not nonexistent... Even without through Blessed, He could also radiate His authority over a certain area... Alger's mind raced with many thoughts, both sweating at his previous shallow thinking and feeling that the future was bright.

Next, he pondered the details in the Sun's words:

Mr. Fool did not send the angel directly; instead, he first taught the Sun a ritual. Through that ritual, He sent the angel to purify Amon's clone. It was a roundabout process...

Does this show that Mr. Fool must overcome many obstacles to influence the real world? This aligns with my earlier judgment that He is in a sealed and bound state... But maybe it's something special about the Forsaken Land of the Gods?

Mr. Fool hadn't shown such behavior before; is it because He has escaped a little? He is gradually breaking free...

Klein, sitting in the Fool's seat, slowly looked around and clearly noticed Miss Justice's reverence and eagerness, and Mr. Hanged Man's fear and excitement.

Hadn't they always regarded me as a god? Why do they still react like this when they hear about an angel? It seems indirect proof is never as good as direct demonstration of deterrence... If a new member questions me in the future, I'll prepare in advance, have the World jump out and make big claims, and then I'll casually point and kill him, to kill the chicken and scare the monkey... When things calm down, I'll create a new World... Klein's thoughts gradually wandered.

Derrick the Sun didn't quite understand the reactions of Mr. Hanged Man and Miss Justice. In his view, a god, a great existence, having angels serve them was perfectly normal, wasn't it?

He waited a few seconds and said:

"After Amon's clone was purified, I coughed out a small worm, exactly the same as the one in the dungeon before. Do you know what it is?"

With the help of Mr. Fool Klein, the Sun successfully manifested a translucent worm with twelve transparent rings.

Justice Audrey and Magician Fors looked at it curiously, simultaneously shaking their heads to indicate they had never seen or heard of such a worm.

Twelve rings... In the Book of Secrets, similar symbols are all related to time... The Amon family are descendants of the ancient Sun God, and in ancient times, people believed that the sun and time were connected... That could be considered an explanation that can be confirmed from two aspects... But why then does the current Eternal Sun only govern the undying light, the incarnation of order, the god of contracts, and the protector of commerce, but no longer has a domain involving time... Klein did not answer immediately to maintain the image of the Fool.

He wore a smile and a gentle gaze.

The Hanged Man, Alger, thought for a moment and said:

"It should be the carrier that Amon uses to create clones.

"In myths and legends, there is a worm that looks similar to it, with twelve transparent rings, called the 'Time Worm'. However, no one has ever seen a 'Time Worm', and many suspect it is actually the name of a Sequence potion."

"Time Worm"... Very close to my guess... Although this is a mythological story circulated among mid-level and above beyonders in some churches, the information itself still has considerable value. Mr. Hanged Man just spoke it out for everyone to hear. Is it because he has already been compensated and learned many important things from little Sun? Klein listened with a mix of emotion and amusement.

"Time Worm... the carrier Amon uses to create clones..." Derrick the Sun muttered to himself, as if resolving many doubts.

He curiously asked:
