Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 723 Hobert’s Backstab
Wearing a dark black thick ceremonial robe, Trunsoest walked step by step to the throne in the depths of the hall. Under the attention of the nobles and officials, he slowly sat on the throne.

Because He does not accept the coronation of any pope, there is no coronation part in this coronation, only an oath part under the guidance of the ceremonial officer.

Finally, the herald announced loudly: "The supreme king of the Kingdom of Pars has ascended the throne! Long live the king!"

"Wait a moment!"

Everyone was about to shout long live the king, but was interrupted by a voice.

A young man dressed as a noble from the Southern Continent and holding a brass book came out of the crowd: "I have objections to Trunsoest's accession to the throne!"

"Oh~"

None of the nobles expected that someone would oppose the king's coronation!
For them, this coronation is just a formality!

The young man continued: "The royal family member of the Kingdom of Pas is named Garrincha, and his surname is Trunsoest. Doesn't anyone question his legitimacy?"

"Okay!" Trunsoest on the throne smiled and said: "Stop pretending, I know you are Hobert! Your disguise can't fool me."

Currently, Mr. Fool is in the "Origin Castle", surpassing Sequence 1 of the same path in terms of authority, and has a certain level of suppression in terms of status.

Hobert smiled and said nothing.

He raised his hand slightly, and Zaratul's marionettes suddenly showed weird smiles one by one, and turned stiffly to look at Zaratul.

For Amon, since there is no way to "steal", there is no need to take action, and you can also enjoy the surprised expression of Archangel Zaratul.

Zaratul also smiled and said: "I know what you mean, but if you think I am unprepared, how could I appear in front of you?"

Zaratul also showed a weird smile without pride, he was being controlled by his marionette in reverse!

Hobert looked at Zaratul and smiled: "You shouldn't help Trunsoest, at least now is not a good time."

Zaratul, who was hanging in mid-air, no longer summoned helpers from the "historical pore" this time. Instead, he waved his hand towards Hobert, connecting this annoying "Prince of Order" with the "spiritual thread" of one of his marionettes. "connected together.

But Zaratul did not panic, but said with a strange smile: "I hope that pillar will return to its original position."

In addition to the two paths of "Black Emperor" and "Judge", Hobert is probably most familiar with the ability of the "Soothsayer" path.

He has understood that Klein is already an angel. As long as he is in the "Origin Castle", Amon cannot steal again before he becomes a god. Zaratul may not be clear about this.

One of the core elements in dealing with this approach is not to give him the opportunity to "get help"!

Hobert smiled and said: "You haven't been crazy for so long that you have forgotten the legend about Amon? Are you still planning to use Amon?"

It turned out that Hobert knew that Zaratul was going to recruit helpers from the "historical pores", so his extraordinary abilities were "chaotic" to a certain extent.

Amon smiled and commented: "Haha, this move is interesting. Zarath has killed so many people. This must be the first time he has been killed."

Looking at Si'a, Hobert frowned slightly: "I thought it would be Tamara who came!"

Zaratul threw away the flower in his hand and grabbed it in the void again, but his hand was stuck.

At this time, Trunsoest's coronation ceremony was still continuing in Caesar's Port, but the assassination of him was moved to this dilapidated hall.

The one Hobert and Klein released from "Misty Town" before.

Hobert immediately "twisted" the curse onto Zaratul, turning the "Servant of Secrets" hanging in mid-air into a huge spider.

It was a miracle. The venue for the king's coronation ceremony suddenly turned into a dilapidated hall in a dilapidated castle, and the guests became Zaratul's marionettes.

Klein's eyes condensed above the gray fog, and he knew that this was Amon's true form.

Hobert smiled and said, "Your disguise can't fool me."

Amon, who was sitting at the window watching the show, pinched his chin: "It seems that you have the ability to study the 'divineer' path!"

But at this time, Mr. Fool still wants to keep an eye on Amon. Who knows when this guy will have a brain attack and rush to help again?

Hobert was also very surprised. He was mentally prepared for Zaratul's appearance, but he didn't expect this guy to be so bold as to attract Amon!
But what everyone didn't expect was that Amon "stealed" the distance and sat on the windowsill in the distance: "You guys continue, just pretend I don't exist!"

Almost at this moment, the ugly Si'a appeared not far away and used a deformation curse on Hobert.

Hobert took action again, "distorting" the abstracted "historical pore", making it smaller and blocking Zaratul's hand.

Zaratul, who was hanging high in the sky, grabbed it in the void, but he only grabbed a rose from the "historical pore"!

That's Mr. Fool.

I took a closer look using my "real vision" and found that, okay, okay, I was still the King of Angels, not the true god of the "wrong" path.

This operation made Zaratul open his mouth. He clearly heard that Amon really wanted to get the "Origin Castle"!

Hobert looked at Zaratul, "twisted" his "spiritual thread", and hung him to the top of the hall.

Hobert suddenly felt his body stiffen, as if he was a little out of control.

The huge stone pillar disappeared, revealing Amon hiding behind, wearing a pointed soft hat and a monocle: "It's so boring. I thought little Zaratul brought me here for some fun? I didn't expect it was you two. Fighting."

Above Hobert's head, a tall hall filled with gray fog appeared. On the high-backed chair in the center of the hall, sat a mysterious figure in formal clothes.

Suddenly there was a "pop" sound of wood being compressed by huge force. The palace quickly became dilapidated and decayed. The seagulls and bright coastal scenery outside also disappeared, turning into crows and dark woods.

Trunsoest on the throne also changed, turning into an old man wearing a hooded black robe and a long white beard around his mouth.

It turned out to be Zaratul!

After Amon snatched Pales Zoroastrian's Sequence 1 characteristics last year, he disappeared all the time. Klein thought he must be preparing to become a god! Didn't expect to show up here.

Originally, he planned to join forces with Amon to deal with "The Fool" and had been preparing for this battle for a long time. He did not expect that Amon would be so uncooperative.

As he spoke, the brass book in his hand opened by itself, revealing a line of mercury text that had long appeared on it: There is only one king here, and that is the great Hobert Jeffrey!
Hobert told the "0-80" rule brass book in advance that when there is no one, you can call him "the creator", and when there is someone, you can call him Hobert.

The "Brass Book of Rules" contained a "rule" that had been prepared long ago to deal with Tamara. He originally planned to use today's opportunity to obtain the last extraordinary characteristic of "Prince Slayer".

Maybe Tamara has realized that she is no longer a match for Hobert, so she didn’t even show up!
With the opening of the "Brass Book of Laws", Hobert's momentum increased in vain, but because the surrounding "high-sequence" Extraordinaries were not "kings", they were not affected.

The only one who was slightly affected was Amon, who was watching the excitement over there, because he is the "King of Angels"!
At the same time, Zaratul, who was hanging in the air, exchanged places with a marionette. The marionette turned into a spider hanging in the air, and Zaratul returned to normal.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Hobert's fight with Si'a, Zaratul pulled outwards and finally pulled Russell Gustav, who had two delicate mustaches, out of the "historical hole".

Russell, who seemed a little dazed, looked at Hobert, and illusory characters and numbers immediately appeared in his eyes. Hobert felt that he had become illusory, as if he could become a stream of information at any time.

At this time, two hazy doors appeared next to Hobert.

The door opened, and inside was an illusory book opened. This was a special creature summoned from the spirit world.

The symbols and numbers in Russell's pupils were printed on the illusory book, and the attack on Hobert disappeared immediately.

Hobert looked at Si'a and "zoomed in" on his bad state, but his ability was blocked by the "spiritual barrier" summoned by Si'a.

Si'a has suffered losses several times, and he "amplifies" his bad state as soon as he comes up, so this time he has been wary of Hobert's move.

Hobert grabbed the "Twilight Scepter" in the void and held it in his hand. This orange and yellow cane intertwined and intertwined suddenly turned into a long hilt, and a sword appeared on the top of the hilt. Silver-white sword.

He waved his long sword, and the "spiritual barrier" summoned by Si'a was immediately broken by the power of the "Twilight Giant".

From the top of the silver-white sword, a dazzling light suddenly shot out, heading straight for Si'a's head.

This scene was too familiar to Si'a. He had his head blown off by Hobert before, so he simply retreated to the spiritual world and closed the entrance between the real world and the spiritual world to avoid Hobert. s attack.

Hobert immediately "distorted" the boundary between the spiritual world and the real world. It would be good to hit Si'a again and make this guy disappear for a while.

But the sunlight that was about to shine into the spiritual world suddenly dimmed, and the dark ruined castle and the dark woods outside became brighter. The attack of the "Twilight Scepter" from the sun path was "balanced" and no longer had offensive power. .

Trunsoest, wearing a ceremonial robe and a crown, appeared at the main entrance of the dilapidated hall. He looked at Amon sitting on the window sill and "Mr. Fool" who was confronting Amon, and then he looked towards The "brass book of laws" in Hobert's hand.

Hobert smiled and said: "You used to be an emperor, but now you have become a king. Aren't you very happy?"

Before Trunsoest said anything, Amon had already smiled and said: "If you stay with Medici for a long time, your way of speaking will easily become like this."

Trunsoest ignored Amon's teasing, but said in a solemn voice: "Hobert disrespects his elders and deserves to be beheaded!"

A large knife suddenly appeared in the space behind Hobert's head and slashed at his neck.

If the levels were equal, the "arbitrator's" decision would be unavoidable, so Hobert grabbed his head with one hand and lifted it up, temporarily disconnecting his head from other parts of his body.

His head was taken off by himself, and the illusory knife completed the beheading process.

With the machete gone, Hobert placed his head on his neck again, reestablishing the "connection" without suffering any harm.

At the same time, new words appeared in the "Brass Book of Laws" in His hand: Uniqueness is the symbol of authority! Trunsoest suddenly felt that part of his authority had been deprived of him. Even though he was already the "King of Angels", he was also deprived of part of his authority by the "Brass Book of Laws".

He took a step back and had no intention of continuing to take action. Instead, he smiled and said, "Didn't you notice? The Pale Queen and Tamara did not appear."

Hobert also smiled: "Didn't you find out why the Angels of the 'Creator' didn't show up?"

Trunsoest was slightly startled: "You..."

Hobert put the "Twilight Scepter" back into the "Country of Disorder": "When I learned that the countries in the Northern Continent wanted you to become the king of the Kingdom of Parth, although I was a little surprised, I felt that it was not surprising. People are surprised.

“But when I heard that you were going to have a coronation ceremony, I knew that you must be using this coronation ceremony to hide something.

"Looking at the entire northern and southern continents, the only thing you need is the extraordinary characteristic of the 'Hand of Order'.

"So, your purpose is self-evident!

"Then I will act out this scene with you and hold you back with myself!"

Except for the appearance of Amon and the fact that Tamara was assigned to the operation on Oak Island, the whole thing was basically within Hobert's plan.

Hobert watched Trunsoest's face become more and more solemn, and he smiled more and more happily: "This is called my prediction of your prediction!"

This was the plan that Hobert had made one night before the war started after getting relevant information from Hugh.

In fact, this is an inevitable phenomenon. Hobert knew what Trunsoest needed, so he easily guessed his purpose and took action.

Similarly, the reason why Trunsoest looked so bad was because he realized that his actions might do Hobert a big favor.

So Trunsoest immediately turned around, took a step in the direction of Oak Island, and disappeared from people's sight.

Hobert, who was holding the "Brass Book of Laws", also used the method of "distorting" space to follow closely. The two "protagonists" disappeared, and Lilith also left the underworld.

Zaratul first looked at "The Fool" with some regret, then looked at Amon who was still watching the fun, and returned to the "historical pore".

As Si'a finally left, Amon smiled at "The Fool" and said: "They are all gone, what's the point of being your helper here?"

"The Fool" asked in a condescending tone: "Why didn't you replace Adam and become God?"

Amon smiled and said: "Why else? That is my brother after all."

Then He asked, "Would you be happy if there was enmity between Adam and me?"

"The Fool" ignored Amon's question, and he didn't believe a word of Amon's answer. Amon had complained about Adam before in the "Land Abandoned by God".

But the first question of "The Fool" is just telling Amon: I know the ritual for you to become a god, you can't lie to me!
The focus of "The Fool" is actually the second question: "What are you waiting for?"

He was a little suspicious, was Amon waiting to replace him when he became a god?

"I have an old friend. After hearing about the problems I encountered, he was very happy to come back and help me!" Amon smiled mysteriously.

"The Fool" didn't know who Amon was talking about, but according to his judgment, Amon should have other plans.

So "The Fool" nodded, and the majestic image disappeared from the dilapidated hall.

Amon, who was sitting on the windowsill, adjusted his monocle and said, "Let me take a look at this thing that is becoming more and more interesting."

……

Time goes back to a few minutes ago, in the Loen Royal Manor on Oak Island.

William I looked at the dimly lit hall in front of him with a gloomy smile. Suddenly, a bronze door with complex patterns appeared in the center of the hall.

The door opened, and two "Death Archons" walked out. They were the angels of the Balam Empire.

The temperature in the main hall suddenly turned freezing, and the space inside the "Gate to the Underworld" caused every creature in the entire manor to tremble unconsciously.

The two angels took a step towards William I, and everything in the entire hall began to slowly wither.

William I was still sitting there motionless. Suddenly, the two "Death Consuls" felt as if they had entered another world. They were so close to William I, but they seemed to never be able to attack the archangel.

Soon they realized that they were separated into another space.

At this time, the wall not far from them opened like a door, and two old men came in, namely the slightly arrogant Duke of Southwell, Drink Augustus, and the one wearing a hairband. Grove Augustus who had been promoted in the previous war.

These are the opponents of the two "Death Archons".

At the same time, William I, who was still sitting on the throne, waved his hand in the direction of the window, and the angel Shirley of the "Witch Cult" hidden in the glass was "pushed" out by the power of order.

The beautiful Shirley was about to escape, but found that an invisible barrier appeared around herself, cutting her off from the outside world.

The handsome middle-aged vampire angel Olmo also appeared in this space. He smiled coldly: "We meet again."

Currently, Lilith, the ancestor of the vampires, ordered Olmo to take a part of the vampires to stay in Angelou, waiting for Hobert's dispatch.

For this group of vampires, Hobert gave them first-class treatment, and only asked them for help when they needed help and were not in danger.

During the siege of Asuncion City, Olmo and Shirley had some grudges. Now the two met again. Shirley smiled sweetly at the handsome uncle, and even the two "balancers" and the two who were fighting over there were Even the "Death Archon" couldn't help but glance in this direction.

But this time Shirley's "charm" had a very limited effect on Olmo. In order to deal with Shirley, the blood angel specially prepared a level 1 sealed object.

The ability of this sealed object is not outstanding, but it has a very practical negative effect against witches: it ignores all beautiful things.

Although Shirley's "charm" doesn't just attack targets through vision, even a blind person can feel its charm and even fall madly in love with it.

But for a vampire angel, without the visual impact, it is easier to maintain enough sanity under the attack of "charm".

Olmer smiled slightly, and a hazy crimson moon appeared above his head. The creatures illuminated by the moonlight quickly mutated, some turned into monsters or grew wildly, and even smaller bricks grew on the wall.

Shirley felt that her spirituality was becoming out of control, and she quickly retreated, looking for an opportunity to fight back.

Theoretically speaking, no matter how big this hall is, it cannot accommodate two angels on the battlefield.

But now it can be accommodated, and it can be accommodated very easily, as if the space of this hall has become infinite!

At this time, the third round of assassinations against William I began.

A candlestick next to William I's throne suddenly disappeared and was replaced by Tamara holding the "Sword of Preface".

He had just "tampered" with the positions of himself and the candlestick, allowing himself to appear quietly next to William I.

This time William I was not as calm as before. He immediately stood up and dodged the "Sword of Slaughter" stabbed by Tamara. The throne he had been sitting on before was stabbed by the black sword body and suddenly fell apart.

Just as Tamara continued to pursue William I, his "Sword of Slaughter" was blocked by a long sword with rust and blood stains.

Tamara's "old rivals" Beverly and Raymond arrived, and it was still the two siblings who were fighting against Tamara.

This makes Tamara somewhat helpless. Such an opponent doesn't know whether it is her own honor or her own shame.

The combination of the Beverly siblings was very famous in the Fourth Age, causing headaches for the enemy's archangels. Logically speaking, it is normal for Tamara to have fought against them.

But those were indeed two Sequence 2s, and they had blocked him not once or twice. Tamara almost had a psychological shadow when she saw them.

Standing in the corner, William I looked at the battlefields of several angels in front of him and smiled again. These angels fighting for him represented that the situation in this world was once again stirred up by him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little cold on his ankles. When he looked down, he saw under his feet a world without any color on the earth, full of skeletons and resentful souls.

At this time, skeletons and resentful spirits were dragging William I's ankles, trying to drag him to the world of the dead.

The expressionless "Pale Queen" appeared opposite William I. She raised her hand towards William I. William I felt that his spirit body was rapidly withering.

William I calmly divided himself and the "Pale Queen" into different spaces. He returned to the throne again, and the helpless cold feeling and the feeling of spiritual passage quickly disappeared.

At this time, Trunsoest stepped into the hall, raised his hand, and destroyed all the "divisions" of William I. Then he classified Beverly, Olmo and other angels into one space, William I was grouped together with the angels on the side of Trunsoest.

"Kill William I as soon as possible!" Trunsoest shouted: "Otherwise..."

At this time, Hobert arrived, and he had already put away the "Brass Book of Laws" and placed the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" path on his head.

As soon as Hobert raised his hand, Trunsoest fell into "confusion" and interrupted his words.

The next moment, Hobert appeared next to William I and raised his hand again, destroying Trunsoest's division of the battlefield.

William I smiled and said to Trunsoest: "Admit it, your sneak attack failed! Haha... uh..."

He lowered his head in disbelief, and a black "Sword of Order" pierced his chest, and the owner of this sword was the indifferent Hobert.
