Chapter 86: Subordinate “Gods”

Chapter 86: Subordinate “Gods”

Among the information provided by The Sun, several representative subordinate gods were listed in detail, but most did not have true names recorded. Only titles were written. Among them were the Goddess of Beauty and the Goddess of Life, who were subordinate to the vampire ancestor Lilith; the Goddess of Misfortune and the God of the Undead, who were subordinate to the demonic wolf of destruction, Flegrea; the God of Luck and the Queen of Calamity, who were subordinate to the Elven King Soniathrym; and many, many others.

Queen of Calamity… Klein immediately thought of the Book of Calamity. He thought of the golden wine cup he had obtained from the High Elf ruins, engraved with the name Cohinem and the Elvish word for Calamity.

This forced him to make an association: perhaps Cohinem was the Elven King’s subordinate god, the Queen of Calamity!

Unfortunately, I cannot directly ask Little Sun to confirm it. I can only wait for him to provide further information… Klein sighed soundlessly.

At the same time, he formed certain guesses regarding why these titles lacked corresponding true names.

The City of Silver had originally been the Nation of Silver ruled by the Giant King’s Court. Aside from sufficient understanding of their own faction and their mortal enemies, their information on other ancient gods mostly came from hearsay and was not detailed. Compared to simple, easy-to-understand titles, complicated, awkward true names were clearly harder to remember and harder to spread.

The information after turning the page preliminarily confirmed Klein’s judgment, but it also produced new doubts.

Among the dragons, there was also a Wisdom Dragon, Herabergen, who was equivalent to a god in the City of Silver’s terminology. And beneath the Giant King Aurmir, there were His eldest son, the God of Dawn, Badheil, and His queen, the Goddess of Harvest.

Why does the Goddess of Harvest have no true name? Was she not the queen of the Giant King’s Court? The City of Silver should have records… Are these so-called subordinate gods equivalent to later Angels or Kings of Angels? Mm. Sequence 2 of the same pathway, or Sequence 1 of another pathway? Klein suppressed his puzzlement and made a practical inference based on the knowledge recorded within the Card of Blasphemy: within a single pathway, if there was a Sequence 0, there would be no Sequence 1. If there was no Sequence 0, at most three Sequence 1s could exist.

But Klein did not dare make a definitive judgment based on that. After all, his knowledge was still rather incomplete. He himself was unsure whether the details regarding Sequence 0 and Sequence 1, derived from the immortality and conservation laws of Beyonder characteristics, had any prerequisite restrictions.

For now, I will think of it that way… Klein leaned back. As the information in his hand vanished, he smiled and said, “You may begin.”

At that moment, The Hanged Man Alger was still carefully examining himself.

After considering how he should communicate, he used a method of thinking from another person’s perspective. From the angle of Madam Hermit, suspected to be Admiral of Stars, he examined exactly what he had exposed.

“Mr. Fool’s protection of each member’s true identity is a kind of visual blurring and distortion, but that does not affect the expression of color. Colors that are close, such as brown and tan, are indeed difficult to distinguish, but vivid colors can still be grasped. At least I clearly know that Miss Justice has blond hair and relatively bright green eyes…

“And the most obvious trait I cannot hide is my deep-blue hair. But that proves nothing. It is no problem to say that deep-blue hair is a common mutation of the Sailor pathway, but the reverse is not valid. This trait can also be inherited. On Sonia Island, in Desi Bay near the Berserk Sea, and in places where elves originally gathered, many people with thin elven blood possess deep-blue hair as well. Heh. The…
