Esme Crane was heard to say, "I know that I may be a very dangerous element, being both undead and a berserker, and though you have not explicitly said so, I know that my identity is too much scorned by the Church to be exposed. If this is so, why do you protect me in this way?" Anna answered and turned to exit the study, just in time to meet Louis, the butler, who had come with a tray to bring Jerome his meal. ... Anna took the family carriage and returned to Gibson Mcknight's house in the middle of the city. Her father did not meet her at the door this time, as he had done last time, and she got out of the car and hurried on to the mansion, leaving all the luggage in her hands to Sally, the maid, to sort out. Soon she found the book, The Sarkhan Theology Collection, and found a secluded spot to sit and read it. To her some surprise, the book in the Hunterian Order library collection had been published very recently, that is, five years ago. The man who had given it the foreword w
"Good! Just meet your request." Wilhelm Leibniz raised a smile and suddenly said in a loud voice, "Come in!" The Deep Sea Age is called the prehistoric age, the age from whence it is unknown. While the calendar can only be chronologically dated from the first year of the sacred calendar forward little by little, the earliest year currently recognized by the academic community that can be known to mankind is 3557 BCE-7231 BCE, some three thousand years ago. This is a very rough time period in which a major event is known to have occurred, namely the legend of the Extinction, an extraordinarily horrific and massive catastrophe that ended the Deep Sea Age. After the carriage had stopped, several attendants laid a red carpet underneath it to the entrance of the building. They then formed two columns, holding umbrellas to form an umbrella path. The three heavyweights got out of the carriage, politely humbled each other, and then stepped on the red carpet, according to their established st
Booth County is located in the southeast of the Mhadrrith Empire, bordering the sea, and was originally a very rich and beautiful place. Twelve years ago, a strange storm hit Booth County, causing severe damage to the area, followed by a long period of freezing rain and high winds over Booth County, with dark clouds covering the sky, and Booth County has not seen the sun for years. The sea was so rough that it swallowed up fishing boats, leaving all the ports in Booth County abandoned and ships unable to go to sea. In addition to the disastrous weather, the whole Booth County is also a place where bizarre things keep happening, and the government, the Church of the Sea God and the Wisdom Awareness Group stationed in the area can only move a large number of fishermen inwards. But the problem was not solved, and the disaster continued to spread inland. The lake... Is it Lake Kanshin? Esme Crane guesses. Captain Paulina had been busy with the follow-up of the mine for the past two days,
"What to make of the fourth point, seeking outside to seeking yourself." Anna reminded her in a low voice. Esme Crane didn't think she'd find him as the first lecturer in the library, but it was fate. Esme Crane felt that she needed to get in touch with the professor to build a good relationship with him, so that she could do better in her exams. It's not... I just came here to listen to the class, how come it's almost over? Esme Crane is speechless. "So how exactly did the Holy Church originate? This account varies, and according to the most accepted account in current historiography, it originated at the end of the Age of the Landbase, the period of the Twilight of the Gods. There was a group of refugees near the holy city of Yale, seeking the coming of a savior in the midst of brutal oppression, and this is where the holy religion originated. In the ensuing Age of Creation, the Holy Church grew considerably, and the Savior developed into the one supreme God. Since the origin of t
"I know a restaurant that specializes in Aetolian cuisine that tastes good. Thomas, go to Randall's on Herries Street." "Hunter's retractable fanny pack, do you want it?" Esme Crane was somewhat surprised at Anna's speed of reaction and how skillfully she used the black umbrella. Anna shook her hand in farewell to the dog's owner and continued on her way, Esme Crane tending to follow in step. Seeing Esme Crane's surprised look, Anna said with a slight look of pride. After checking out, Anna grabbed her umbrella and clutch bag and strolled alongside Esme Crane down the clean, crisp sidewalks of Midtown. Thomas followed them slowly in his horse-drawn carriage. Esme Crane had thought that Anna, as a noble lady, had no other means of attack than the Book of Words, but she had practiced the Barton Umbrella, and was relieved that she had some means of self-preservation. She found Anna to be a very adventurous person, and Esme Crane could not be by her side at all times to protect her, so
The twist in her life came without warning the summer she turned 18 when she became the owner of the Book of Words and learned the family secret from her father. Then indignantly she enrolled in the medical school of the University of Missouri and has been on a grueling journey of medical studies ever since. At first she was very uncomfortable with the subject of medicine, but with a perseverance, she worked hard day and night, and eventually mastered the knowledge that she was so bad at, and began to use her knowledge and methods to explore the deeper secrets of the living and dead souls. The Book of Spirits of Words was by now back in its restored form, and looked very active in Esme Crane's hand as it continued to emit a pure white glow. "It is true that I have lost my memory since my resurrection, and I cannot remember many things. Professor... Do you see anything in my memory that you cannot understand at the moment?" "You're not my father." Anna muttered softly, pursing her li
After the meal, Anna would have liked to invite Esme Crane to sit with her in the family study and talk some more, or to take a walk in the courtyard, but a telegram from the U. of M. Obliged her to give up the idea. Esme Crane did not get up immediately, but lay on the bed for a while, listening to the sound. The melody of the box did not sound artificial, or at least it was not someone playing music at the door of her room with a box, it was coming from some source, as if some magic had sent the sound directly to her ears. Can Esme Crane say no? She couldn't, so she had to say yes to Anna. "Hmm? What?" Esme Crane froze. Esme Crane is thus convinced that Anna is seeing the memories of the original owner, Esme Crane. Anna mused, "It does sound dangerous, this octave box could be the cause of Jefferson's disorder, or it could be the cause of the fetus mutation in Amelia's womb. The trifle, too, could have been scared to death by the octavo's anomalies. The Heathcliff you mentioned,
"Yes, yes, Miss..." Sally stammered in reply, and then immediately ran for the servants' quarters. Luckily, though, the bleeding stopped, and Anna immediately stitched up several of Emile's wounds with amazing skill, then bandaged them. All this time Esme Crane was playing second fiddle and pressing Emile's pulse behind her ear, monitoring her vitals at all times. By the time Anna's sutures and bandages were finished, Emile still had a faint pulse, but the man had long since passed out. "Yes, Miss." The two men immediately answered and left. In the latter part of the night, Anna fell into a deep restorative sleep from mental exhaustion, Esme Crane, lying beside her, had not closed her eyes all night, and when she closed them, the picture of the pale universe appeared, as if it had some strange attraction that pulled at her soul. For Esme Crane, this oppressive feeling was extraordinary, touching the depths of her spirit directly, not comparable to those demons and monsters that popp
"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
