"Anna?" Esme Crane was busy stopping her."That's... I'm but a tiny existence, not much more than a network of people to talk about. You know we, the Brinkens, are nothing more than an earldom, being finance bureaucrats in our own right, technocrats who are despised by the great nobility." Brinken laughed.The two stopped touching and just walked side by side. Anna's fingers were a little sore and numb, the static from the party was a little worse, causing a twinge of something strange to surface in her mind, but for the moment she was unable to clarify where it was coming from. To relieve the soreness, she clenched her fist, her arm hanging vainly at her side."Oh, so the Shield Horse Regiment, which is known to be ironclad, has lice too, can I know who it is?""Pfft..." Anna burst out laughing, "You're still jealous of him? Another Blinken, another John Lancaster Blake, what kind of unwarranted flying jealousy are you eating?"Suddenly the suspected Sistineus Cardinal cast his eyes
"I was at Viscount Gibson Mcknighten's bedside when he suddenly woke up just now and opened his mouth to tell me. Hurry up! Quickly stop the replacement dummy, I'll be right back to help you!"It's Tony Blinken.Esme Crane and Lois appeared intimate, Esme Crane's hand even wrapped around her waist, and Anna felt a whirlwind of heaven and ice.The visitor was none other than old Hunter Brian Suler, the former ambassador of the Explorer Hunter Group to the Hunter Guild and one of the three oldest hunters in the group. He was dressed in a brown suede coat, wearing a wide brimmed hat with a polished brim, his beard was white, and he was holding a pipe, looking very unrestrained and dashing.The stand-in doll... The long blue dress Anna was now wearing herself was a favorite dress her father had given her for her 18th Bar Mitzvah. When she made the double, she deliberately made an identical dress for the double to wear as well, just in case her father didn't get suspicious if he saw her sh
Consciousness was completely consumed by darkness, and Anna's hazel eyes went completely grey.However, the emperor could no longer use lynching, nor did he have the power to legislate or enforce the law, so the thugs who forced their way into the palace could only be dealt with according to the legal provisions in the Law for the Protection of the Private Property of the Royal Family, which was enacted by the parliament.Doris pinched her watch, one, two, three... The flame suppression continued, and the stone gargoyles that came flying in were hit en masse by the flames, but the impact and explosive power of the fire itself was diminished by the sheer size of the area it covered, only temporarily retarding them, and except for the first group of stone gargoyles that came into contact with the curtain of flame, which were blown to powder, the rest were still intact and the flames could not harm them. And the human God Fathers avoided the wave of flame-suppressing fronts, not rushing
This tutor was the then Minister of Health, Moorbrinken, who also taught a major course in health and epidemic policy design at the School of Government and Economics. He was one of the top candidates at the time, and a year later he became Prime Minister of the Empire."Finally, the one that baffled me the most was Tony Blinken. When Esme Crane erupted and was about to completely kill the replacement doll, Lois, he appeared out of nowhere and performed a bizarre and terrifying power to save Lois in the blink of an eye. What is this man's deal again?"It was also about five years ago that he stopped operating as a dark stake and became the former ambassador of the Seeker Hunter Corps to the Hunter Guild, and the corps was actually ready to let him retire to the second line and take care of himself. As Suler grew older, his status within the regiment grew higher, and most of those who came after him were unaware of his former status as a spy, and the only ones who knew the secret were
As he spoke, Valkyrie took a lake bottom stone out of his belt pouch, which had strange S-shaped ripples appearing on top of it, layer upon layer crumpled as if tattooed on, not quite like a natural formation."Let's go for a walk.""But Sensei... Don't you use a staff whip?" Esme Crane asked, "How will you teach me if I change my weapon?""You know what, Anna? The vast majority of the world's people are proletarians, both in my world and in yours. They are born like ants, but if they are united, if they dare to fight, if they have strong and correct leadership, they can also shine like summer flowers and blossom into the brightest civilization in the history of mankind."When she finally gets to the advent of the Industrial Revolution, she talks about Watt improving the steam engine, the advent of the jenny loom in England, and the arrival of the era of sensational change. It was a history that overlapped with the Mhadrrith Empire. Anna listened more carefully."Before the permission
But Esme Crane actually knew that Anna was hiding things from herself as well; she was keeping a diary, but never showed it to herself. Of course, something as private as a diary is not something Esme Crane would pry into, even if Anna was the closest person to her.Esme Crane laughed, "To, I just can't remember what they look like right now.""Esme Crane... I can feel the power of your soul protecting and warming my spirit world every second now. Is this something you do on purpose?" Anna asked in a jarring voice.After a few moments of playfulness, the two of them were finally grinding their way up. After washing and dressing, they held each other's hands and went downstairs to the dining room, where Louis Holmes, Chris and Eugene were eating breakfast at the long dining table, and they were just getting up.Esme Crane and Anna traveled lightly, each carrying what appeared to be a large hiking pack, but in fact most of their belongings were stored in a telescopic fanny pack. The pac
"I can only stay in the back of the eighth carriage right now, it's hard to get to the front. I'm relieved to see that you and Pryda are all well, take care of yourselves and if you need any help, look for me in the eighth carriage." Anna concluded.The vacant room 905, which was unoccupied, was used as a mobile room in case of emergency, with some luggage piled up in a false manner inside it."He really saddened me, I was in seclusion all that time, unable to gain any semblance of freedom." Anna continued, and showed a sorrowful look.Anna nodded and exchanged a few more pleasantries with Mason and conversed with Pryda in passing, both seemed to behave in an unusual manner, it just felt as if they weren't as cordial as they once were, there was always a sense of inexplicable detachment.Professor Bobbington paused, recalled, and said, "Ah, Dr. Mason, he came along, I did see him when he boarded the car at Zocta, and he brought his sister with him."The lockers for the luggage were al
At this end Anna and Esme Crane had just entered room 803 when at the other end the back door of the eighth carriage opened and Doris came through the ninth carriage.She glanced at the pocket watch hanging over her bed; it was past eleven o'clock at night, approaching the morning of Obsidian Day, and it was finally dawning.Esme Crane's hand resting on her back stroked her slowly, soothing her and conveying her meaning: restrain yourself, don't do it.At the end of the sentence, Doris choked up a little. Through her tear-blurred pupils, she could clearly see the emotions that Paulina was holding back from showing on her face, the corners of her lips trembling, and also crystal tears welling up in her eyes."Pfft..." Anna, who had been in a state of sadness and indignation, suddenly erupted in laughter.The words told to her earlier by the head of Leibniz and passed down from generation to generation: "The sun is the nucleus of the world, the moon is the eye that watches, and in the s
"Professor!" Someone called out to her from her side. She turned around to see two female students trotting towards her. "Good morning, Professor. We happen to have some questions for you." She suddenly got a lump in her throat. "Professor?" The two female students looked at her strangely. "Sorry, I seem to have forgotten something. What did you guys want to ask?" She replied as she control her emotions. The two students had no doubts and asked several academic questions. Despite the very different times, she answered their questions without hesitation, as if her academic literacy had kept up with the times. But questions still linger deep inside her. Where is Esme Crane? What the hell is going on? She walked with the two female students to the building, entered the classroom, and started teaching as she was supposed to. It was as if she has done it before, and it didn't feel out of place. The long 90-minute session had finally ended, and she had completed her teaching d
Esme Crane's world... That was her second thought.Suddenly, she realized that she was actually in tears.She felt a moment of unprecedented peace as all the sights of her short life swept through her mind in a flash. She gathered her last strength and used her strongest burst of power to stab at the All-Seeing Eye above the Blood Infant.Polaris could not remember how many times he had fought and killed, so much so that when he turned back, there were few of his companions left around him, and the ground was full of ambulatory bodies, all of the Shadow Assassins who could not maintain their Shadow spells, revealing their bodies in the darkness.The blood baby in Jeremiah Moore's belly then let out a horrible cry, and all of the Shadow Assassins' internal organs were shaken and bleeding, and many of them turned blind and deaf in an instant.He needed to go on a tour of the world and find a place where he could enjoy the dragon's food.A horr
Some field trumpeter, inspired by the sound of the heavens, blew the Internationale on his trumpet. The loud sound of the trumpet stirred up the excitement and pride that had been suppressed for years, decades, centuries and even thousands of years in all of them, and they sang the Internationale in unison, which at once dealt the deadliest blow to the enemy, who fell to their knees and clutched their heads in agony, their eyes wide open.Esme Crane knew it wasn't Anna talking to her, it was Naija."God is eternally alone, and this is the fifth law by which you become a god.Esme Crane, you abandoned me long ago, and you have long since ceased to be a part of me. You replaced me, and you are the world god now." She sobbed with grief and anger.Esme Crane was forced to take a step back, her coat fluttering, but her expression remained calm.From among the seams of the bandage, wisps of black flesh and blood would seep out. It was as if the inside of the ban
"Two of these three great angels are stationed in Zocta and in the Tower of Wisdom; they are the Immortal of the Ages and Avogomont respectively. These two angels are directly under the control of the Pope and are one and the same with him.""Pope Condé has launched a strong campaign, and the two great angels, the Archaic Eternal and Avergomont, have both possessed him, and Jugzotus has lent him considerable power.It stuck in her throat like a sore thumb, and she couldn't speak."I am ready to do whatever it takes to complete the mission, so please escort me.""Destroying the main gate of the tall tower, before the gate could not be destroyed by me alone. But now, along with the earthquake, the gate's sealing formation should be damaged, so with my combined efforts with you, it should be possible for me to destroy the main gate. After destroying the main gate, we will prepare our flying wings or cloaks, prop them up, and pocket the hot airflow to
This tall knight, the leader of the Shadow Knights, was manipulated by Bolaris himself. The leader slowly drew his sword at his waist, while hundreds of red eyes glowed behind him, opening in the shadows.Cecily's words startled Polaris, "What does omnipresent mean?""Because of my particular experience within the Tower, I have a strong aura of Jugzoth, and my spirit world is always trapped in the temporal labyrinth within the Tower, isolated from the world. Only a very small part of it was able to return, and thus I was like a ghost, unable to return fully.The other swirling painting hanging above the wall behind him gradually subsided, returning to the paint on top of the canvas. And at that moment Cecily's state became very eerie as he placed the horse lamp on the floor and slowly sat down, curling up into a ball."The blood pact is still in effect." Pierre removed his glove armor, revealing the back of his right hand with an odd blood mark on it, "We
Only this is the demonized state, I'm afraid it would be a different story if Cthulhu had caused the loss of control.Bella was the first to share a picture of the mental probe with the remaining three, and a blurred image of the exterior appeared in the minds of the group. They could make out the massive outline of the pyramid, and the countless thick, ghastly tentacles poking out from the square hole that hung upside down above it.Without responding to Bella's observation, Doris digressed to say.This floating spell, which belongs to the category of gravitational control, also belongs to the Yellow King Hasta lineage, and higher up, it is subordinate to Jugzoth, a power that restrains Cthulhu.Those were the last words Paulina passed back, words that conveyed only one meaning - jade and stone.Paulina's dark face broke into a placid smile as she addressed the trio.To their dismay, they discovered that the entire ship had been fished up f
"So what's next?" The mission still had to continue to be completed, and staying stranded here, even if she did nothing, was just waiting to die.Even the lights on the ship were out, and the darkness wrapped so densely around everyone's nerves, and the tension so oppressed them, that it was surprising to see dense dots of tiny light appear before their eyes, as if they were hallucinations.As the ship is rapidly propelled by the hurricane and angry waves into the very heart of the storm, the call gradually becomes louder and louder, and when the music of the Internationale playing on the ship can't drown out the eerie, brain-penetrating call, Louis Holmes and Paulina lead the entire crew to start singing the Internationale on their own as a way to counter the call.Apes migrated and began to spread all over the world. In order to survive, they began to walk upright and use tools, moving from Homo sapiens to Homo erectus to Homo sapiens. This population, which w
Esme Crane's death is the condition that triggers the sacrifice; Esme Crane is passively a sacrificial executioner. And there are two ways for Esme Crane to die, one is that she betrayed Anna, which will directly lead to the destruction of the foundation of her personality and the complete stripping away of the Godhead built on it. The second is that she was forcibly separated from her personality and Godhead by an outside force, and her personality fell and her Godhead was recycled and snowed away.Polaris Halsman was so mentally traumatized by his encounter with Dagon's abuse of his master, Old Hunter Suler, during his trip to Ringo that he fell into semi-madness.So only by concentrating on destroying the Church, which is so immensely sacred in the minds of these people, is it possible in a short time to crack their illusionary dreams and awaken their self-will.Macroscopic systems always tend towards a state of extreme entropy, and if an external force exist
There is no starry sky, no future, no past, no life. All is annihilated and dissolved, not a single particle exists, all sorrow and joy is a bubble, millions of years of evolution, not given any meaning.Paulina shouted for everyone to close the audition immediately, stop and crawl down, not to move. They were thus prostrate in the midst of the storm in the thorny jungle below the cliff, until the blood moon that had crowded in suddenly dissipated, and the abnormal sensation gradually returned.And it was the death of Esme Crane that induced Anna's sacrifice.The evil fallen world god let out a shrill whistle that was inaudible to human ears and raised the cross above his head, inspiring the power of the white flesh and blood cross.The process of sacrifice requires the party performing the sacrifice to kill the sacrificed in some way, while the party receiving the sacrifice can acquire some trait of the sacrificed to grow itself. This process must involv
