When Klein saw that picture through the "Vengeful Spirit" Seniour's eyes, his heart suddenly pounded, his heartbeat so loud that he could even hear it himself.
As a "Fortune Teller" skilled in interpreting revelations and symbols, he felt the blood in his body rushing wildly to his head, making his brain swell and dizzy, as if preventing further thought.
But even so, a phantom, his own voice, echoed in his mind, filled with fear:
That figure being dismembered and devoured should represent the ancient Sun God, the Creator of All, the Omniscient and Omnipotent God worshipped by the
And the three sinister figures surrounding Him — I, I have seen them before!
In the underground ruins of
They existed there as statues, not as evil as in this picture, and representing, respectively:

Suddenly, Klein remembered a term he had once obtained, a term gained from encountering "Eternal Blazing Sun":
"Pure White Angel"!
Is that so... unbelievable... Could it be that "Eternal Blazing Sun" was once an angel of the ancient Sun God? Little "Sun" had mentioned earlier that in
And He, along with "Lord of Storms", "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", and that dark-skinned baby whose identity is unknown, got the biggest benefits, dividing the corpse of the Creator of the City of Silver... The scriptures of the major churches all record that these three most ancient gods were formed from the division of the spirit of the Primordial Creator... From a certain perspective, this seems to be an implication of some dark history?
If my guess is true, then "Lord of Storms" and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" should also be Angel Kings who served that Creator worshipped by the City of Silver, the ancient Sun God; perhaps they should be called "Wind Angel" and "Wisdom Angel"...
Thus, the eight Angel Kings are complete: Dark Angel, Pure White Angel, Wind Angel, Wisdom Angel, Imagination Angel, Time Angel, Fate Angel, Red Angel... From the words heard by Little "Sun" and the subsequent fates of these Angel Kings, it seems that except for the two divine sons,
I wonder who that dark-skinned baby sitting in the lap of the ancient Sun God represents... I feel that the "
At this moment, the overwhelming fear even gave him the hallucination that "Eternal Blazing Sun", "Lord of Storms", and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" were looking down at him from the Star Realm.
Who left this painting? Who could know so many secrets and clearly be on the side of the ancient Sun God? The other angels and saints who always followed and believed in this Creator of the City of Silver? Cold sweat broke out on Klein's back, and his body trembled slightly.
Although Alger was not as observant as "Justice", he was an experienced Beyonder, and in this environment requiring high vigilance, it was not difficult to notice that Gehrman Sparrow was behaving abnormally.
"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.
Klein seemed to snap out of it and, making the "Vengeful Spirit" Seniour look away, pointed at the circular area without a stone coffin:
"You'll understand if you take a look."
A picture that makes even Gehrman tremble — if I see it, will I lose control immediately? He's not stopping me but suggesting I look, so it's probably not too dangerous, but it's possible he's already lost control and just pretending to be normal... Several thoughts flashed through Alger's mind, but he eventually stepped forward calmly with the oil lamp, moving toward the central area.
After seven or eight steps, he clearly saw the dark-toned picture.
In just three or four seconds, the hands holding the short blade and the oil lamp began to shake uncontrollably, as if he had some brain disease.
On
Although he had done disloyal things to the church under Qilings' coercion, although he had joined the Tarot Club and moved further away from the "Storm Abyss", trusting Mr. Fool and seeking greater power and influence, although he had repeatedly sold church intelligence and been negligent in certain matters, he still considered himself a believer of "Lord of Storms", just not very devout or fanatical. But at this moment, he genuinely felt that he had committed a serious sin of blasphemy and almost gouged out his own eyes in fear.
Not committing suicide immediately shows that I've truly become a false believer... Alger didn't dare to look further. He turned around and looked at Gehrman Sparrow, asking with a trembling voice:
"Are those three all Angel Kings?"
"I can't give you a definite answer. I can only say that 'Eternal Blazing Sun' is closely related to the 'Pure White Angel'," Klein replied rather vaguely.
So that's it... Alger suddenly felt it was very likely that "Lord of Storms", "Eternal Blazing Sun", and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" were once Angel Kings.
As for Gehrman Sparrow's inability to be sure, he wasn't surprised or puzzled; after all, the latter was only an attendant, not Mr. Fool himself.
