Chapter 164: Why don't you ask Amon for help?
**"Why don't you ask Amon for help?"**
Alger, who had been interrupted, was momentarily stunned. After a brief moment of contemplation, he repeated:
"Secondly, you might have been forced or voluntarily entered a peculiar space or state at a certain point. In that place, time flows to a certain extent but is fixed within a specific range, repeating in cycles..."
"Flowing to a certain extent but fixed within a specific range, repeating in cycles..." Alice murmured, closing her eyes as fragmented images flashed in her memory.
Unlike continuous and smooth memories, these images were broken and chaotic, with even the colors appearing unclear. Alice managed to capture a relatively clear frame among them.
It was an angel with a beautiful appearance and gentle features.
The angel's expression was tender yet indifferent, with a tall and slender figure, long silver hair reaching down to the waist, and a simple and plain linen robe.
Looking at the radiant wings behind the angel, Alice thought somewhat inappropriately: *So angel wings are fake... does that mean they can't be touched?*
She shook her head to dispel the thought and looked at the river that connected end to end at the angel's feet, finally finding the source of the familiar feeling.
She looked up at Alger and Derrick, who were waiting for her to speak, and said softly:
"If it were somewhere else, I would consider the possibility mentioned by Mr. Hanged Man, but considering that you are exploring the temple of the 'Fallen Creator,' I would advise you to be cautious of one person.
"Urolius."
"Urolius?" Derrick repeated the name blankly.
Alger, Audrey, and Fors all looked at Alice, and from their expressions, it was clear that they were hearing this name for the first time.
Alice pinched her brow, recalling the details of Urolius's appearance as she spoke:
"There are eight Angel Kings under the Creator.
"Among them, the Angel of Fate, Urolius, also known as the 'Ouroboros.'
"He has an ability to create cycles of fate.
"This is also the ability of Sequence 1 in the 'Fate' pathway."
The first to ask out of curiosity was Audrey: "Miss Fate, what does Angel King mean? Are they the strongest angels?"
Alice pondered for a moment, remembering that some people here didn't know about the existence of Sequence 0, and finally answered: "Angel Kings are beings that surpass Sequence 1."
... I really want to tell them that this is the pinnacle of Sequence 1, just a step away from Sequence 0.
Alice sighed regretfully at the thought she had to abandon.
Compared to Audrey, who was still pondering, Alger, who knew about the existence of Sequence 0, felt a tightness in his heart. Looking at the still relatively gentle Alice, he asked:
"Is Urolius the 'Fate' pathway angel who is hunting you?"
Alice paused slightly, then looked at Alger with a half-smile. After Alger stiffened and dared not move, she shook her head and said:
"No.
"He is hunting the angel who is hunting me."
This tongue-twister-like statement plunged everyone present into deep thought.
If Alice were to hunt Urolius, it would be a perfect cycle... Klein silently sighed in the gray fog.
Alger was regretting the question he had just asked.
A being that surpasses Sequence 1, and an angel—most likely Sequence 1—was this something he could listen to?
"To add," Alice thought for a moment and said, "Urolius probably doesn't want to hunt me either. He might just not know that another me has escaped..."
Alger fell into deep thought.
"In short, the three of us are in a situation where only one can survive," Alice concluded.
Alger lowered his head, recalling that his ship had once carried Miss Fate, and suddenly felt a deep concern for his future.
Fors felt that this Tarot Club was still far beyond her level. While she was striving for Sequence 8, some people were already close to a life-and-death battle with two Sequence 1 beings.
No, maybe not just two, maybe not just Sequence 1. Glancing at the monocle on Alice's face, Fors added in her mind.
Audrey suddenly felt that she had been too presumptuous in front of Miss Fate before. She decided to remind Viscount Grelint to be careful... no, she couldn't remind him, it might make things worse.
After serious consideration, Audrey decided to suggest that Viscount Grelint find a few chefs who were good at making ice cream.
Only Klein, who already knew that Alice had also provoked Amon and Adam, accepted this well.
Well, at least they aren't true gods. Angels are fine, just one more...
Klein silently comforted himself, recalling the 'True Creator' who was still looking for him, and decided it was best to remain silent.
In this light, the Eternal Blazing Sun's temper seemed quite good... no, mainly because he had only spied on the Eternal Blazing Sun once, while the 'True Creator'... haha, it felt like he had already offended him to death.
He suddenly remembered his act of reporting the Great Smog incident to the Church of the Night and began to worry if he would be targeted by Adam as well.
Only Derrick's attention was still on the temple itself. He asked sincerely: "So what should I do, Miss Fate?"
Alice looked at him, thought seriously for two seconds, and then asked: "Why don't you try holding a request ceremony and call Amon over?"
"?" A question mark slowly appeared above the heads of the Tarot Club members.
Klein couldn't help but control the "World" to ask: "Are you sure he can come back after that?"
Alice pondered for a moment and replied:
"Both are Angel Kings, Amon shouldn't lose to Urolius, right?
"And Urolius probably didn't personally act against them, at most it's just residual influence or something. Amon can definitely handle it!"
"... I didn't mean that," the "World" said tactfully, "I'm mainly worried that Mr. Sun will come to the next Tarot Club wearing a monocle like you."
"Is it not good-looking?" Alice asked, puzzled.
Fors silently put her hand on her forehead, while Audrey and Alger glanced sympathetically at the "World" and then remained silent.
The "World" was silent for a long time before saying in an indescribable tone: "... Good-looking, but that's not what I meant."
Alice shrugged, looking at Derrick, who was hesitant to speak, and finally suggested:
"Urolius probably didn't personally act against you—if he did, don't ask how to solve it, just stay put.
"If you don't want to call Amon, then you'll have to try finding the medium causing the influence.
"I guess the medium is most likely a mural or something."
