Chapter 1279: 1279
Chapter 1279 Sense of Urgency
Apocalypse… Although Audrey had long learned about the prophecy of the apocalypse from the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom demigod, she never found it corporeal enough, feeling that it was meant to deceive the people .
Even though she had already slightly experienced a war where the individual was puny, she didn’t believe that the world was just about a decade away from the apocalypse .
There were no signs of this at all!
However, the person who had given the apocalyptic prophecy was Mr . Fool’s Blessed, Mr . World, who had always been trustworthy and daring to strike at angels . Furthermore, his tone was firm, as though he had already seen what was about to happen a decade later .
This made Audrey choose to instinctively believe him . Her heart sank as she felt nervous and flustered .
Apart from that, she also felt her confusion fade significantly—there was still another decade before the end of the world . Even those who were drowning would struggle a little, much less a perfectly fine Sequence 4 demigod .
Apocalypse… As a cardinal of the Church of Storms, Alger had recently seen many apocalyptic prophecies, but those unverifiable matters couldn’t compare to The World Gehrman Sparrow’s abnormally serious warning . The impact brought by the two sources wasn’t on the same level .
At the same time, he acutely noticed a detail—the World said that even deities would be destroyed .
Alger’s first reaction was that Gehrman Sparrow was being disrespectful to Mr . Fool, as Mr . Fool was also a deity .
However, he quickly rejected this idea . After all, The World Gehrman Sparrow was Mr . Fool’s Blessed and was the most devout believer . The other members of the Tarot Club might accidentally blaspheme Mr . Fool, but it was impossible for The World Gehrman Sparrow .
Due to the two prerequisites that “Gehrman Sparrow wouldn’t be disrespectful to Mr . Fool” and “him saying that even deities would be destroyed,” Alger quickly came to another conclusion:
In The World’s Gehrman Sparrow’s heart, Mr . Fool’s level was higher than that of a true deity!
This… Alger never doubted The World Gehrman Sparrow’s knowledge; after all, he was a powerhouse who often interacted with angels .
This knowledge made him both shocked and puzzled, momentarily unable to find an even more reasonable explanation .
Having used the blood of a Snake of Fate to advance to the level of a demigod, Cattleya would also occasionally dream of the scene of the dawn of the apocalypse thanks to her pathway having Clairvoyant as its Sequence 3 . In addition, Queen Mystic Bernadette would occasionally remind her, so she didn’t feel any surprise or shock regarding Mr . World’s words . She just felt like the dust that had been stirred had finally landed on the ground .

As for the future, this Mysticologist was equally lost . Apart from improving herself, she didn’t know where to direct her efforts .
Apocalypse… Xio and Fors looked at each other across Ma’am Hermit and sensed the raging upheavals in each other’s hearts .
They had never thought that the wonderful life they were living wouldn’t last more than two decades unless something happened .
This was a time where they were in their prime . Even if they weren’t demigods, they didn’t have to worry about the inclination towards losing control due to their aging bodies .
As the person who spoke was The World Gehrman Sparrow, the two ladies didn’t suspect the authenticity of the prophecy . They momentarily felt fearful and heavy .
At the beginning, Derrick couldn’t help but feel depressed . This was because the City of Silver had just left the Forsaken Land of the Gods and came to the world of light . Yet, none of this would last long before the apocalypse was ushered in .
Soon, he composed himself and chose to believe in Mr . Fool .
Since this great existence was able to rescue the City of Silver from the Forsaken Land of the Gods, “He” too could also stop the apocalypse .
Although I’m the savior of the Sanguine during the apocalypse, I never expected it to happen so soon… I’m only an Earl… Emlyn couldn’t help but frown . It was as though a student who had just attended a few days of lessons had to suddenly sit an exam .
Of course, this also made him excited . After all, it wouldn’t be long before he would fulfill his mission and display his greatness in front of his fellow kinsmen .
Leonard had heard of the doomsday prophecy from Old Man Pallez Zoroast . Although he didn’t know the reason behind such a development, he had long been mentally prepared . At this moment, he was the first to snap back to his senses and asked, “Why would the apocalypse suddenly happen? There are no signs of it…”
Klein controlled The World to reply:
“It’s just that you didn’t notice the signs .
“Do you think that a battle of gods erupted for no reason?”
Seeing that all the members of the Tarot Club were stunned and lost in thought, The World Gehrman Sparrow added, “You aren’t qualified to know the exact reason . Just understanding it would bring about an irrepressible corruption . Only angels and above can resist it . ”
This is similar to what the demigod from the Church of Knowledge’s demigod said… It’s close to the corruption from the cosmos… I seem to have forgotten something… Mr . World seems to have figured out the whole story… Isn’t he afraid of being corrupted? H-he’s already an angel? He is now a “He”? Thoughts flashed through Audrey’s mind as she acutely sensed that The World Gehrman Sparrow might’ve completed his advancement and become a true Mythical Creature .

In ancient times, this could even be called a subsidiary god, a member of the deity lineup!
Right on the heels of that, Alger, Cattleya, and the other members of the Tarot Club understood the truth . They knew that The World Gehrman Sparrow had already reached the top of the real world, becoming an angel that walked the land .
Their guesses were related to Gehrman Sparrow’s plan to deal with a Mythical Creature . Some believed that it was the benefits that Mr . Fool’s recovery gave to “His” Blessed .
But no matter what, it was the first time the Tarot Club had a member at the level of an angel, aside from its host and convener!
Of course, they weren’t too surprised by The World Gehrman Sparrow’s advancement to Sequence 2 . They had long been numb to his progression rate .
Klein controlled The World and made him look around .
“You can think about what you plan to do next and how you would go about doing it . ”
Xio, Fors, and the other Tarot Club members nodded slightly as acknowledgment .
Another ten minutes of free exchange followed before this session of the Tarot Gathering gradually came to an end .
…
After returning to the real world, Xio surveyed her bedroom . Her expression slowly turned solemn .
She once again felt a pressing sense of urgency .
After walking out of the room, Xio saw that Fors had also walked out to the corridor at the same time . She no longer suffered from momentary paralysis before coming out .
“Where do you plan on going?” Both of them asked in unison before falling silent .
A few seconds later, a handsome young man walked out of the guest room . He wore a pair of narrow-framed spectacles and had slightly fluffy hair . He held a few thick books in both hands .
“Oh no, I forgot that I have classes this afternoon!” The youth mumbled to himself as he rushed towards the staircase, completely ignoring the presence of the two ladies .
He was Xio’s younger brother, Rio Derecha . He had just entered a pre-law school .
In Backlund, one had to pass a pre-law examination before becoming a paralegal . Such a paralegal had to study and work for at least five years under a full lawyer before one was allowed to take part in the qualification examination and get a license to practice law .
If one wanted to become a senior lawyer, one had to enter the Backlund Lawyer School to receive university-level education .
Xio watched her little brother run down the stairs, and a smile subconsciously appeared on her face .
She immediately looked up and said to Fors, “I plan to return to MI9 and work hard . ”
“I plan on making a trip to Teacher’s place,” Fors answered the question .
Right on the heels of that, the Traveler’s figure quickly turned transparent and vanished .
A few seconds later, Fors appeared at a relatively intact building in the rebuilding Pritz Harbor .
Then, she took out a pen and paper from her pocket and wrote a note . She planned on telling her teacher that she had finished digesting the Traveler potion .
Putting away the fountain pen, she stuffed the paper into the mailbox at the door .
This wasn’t Dorian Gray Abraham’s residence . It was the place where Fors and the gentleman had previously agreed to send letters to .
The next day, when Fors arrived, she saw Dorian providing her with the meeting location and time .
…
Emlyn opened his eyes in his room and changed into his coat with a standing collar, intending to visit Marquis Nibbs .
When the carriage passed Rose Street, he subconsciously looked out the window and was somewhat surprised to discover that the door to the Harvest Church had opened .
After a brief hesitation, he got the carriage driver to stop the carriage, and he paid for the ride .
After putting on his top hat and holding his cane, the red-eyed Sanguine Earl walked up the steps and entered the Harvest Church . He saw Father Utravsky, who seemed to have grown a little taller, cleaning the prayer hall with his back hunched .
He has been released as expected… It really was protective custody… Emlyn shook his head inwardly .
At this moment, Father Utravsky raised his head and looked at him .
“Wipe the candle stand . ”
…I’m trying to please Mother Goddess, Emlyn mumbled . He walked to the room behind him, changed into the brown priest robe of the Church of Earth Mother, and began working .
Neither of them spoke a word . They did their own jobs and tried their best to restore the Harvest Church to its former cleanliness and tranquility .
After an unknown period of time, a group of people suddenly entered the door .
Emlyn subconsciously looked over and saw Baron Cosmi Odora . He saw Viscount Ernes Boyar, who had once “worked” at the Harvest Church, and many familiar faces .
Emlyn’s lips subconsciously curled up .

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)
