Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 952 Amon Against Amon
Following the commanding tone of Archon Gerdruf, a slight change occurred on the small battlefield in the middle of the street.

Angel, who was emitting deadly pathogens all over her body but confined them to Amon beside her and in front of her, suddenly found that the space around her was divided independently. She could still see Amon, Klein and his secret doll, but the disease and petrification could not affect them at all.

Klein and his secret doll were locked in one place, and encountered a similar experience to Angel. Even the flame jumping or exchanging positions with the secret doll were limited to a very small area around him.

Amon, a blond, blue-eyed man with a cracked brass monocle in his right eye socket, put down his raised hand and fixed his gaze on the "Archon" not far away. He had just tried to break through the restriction of "no stealing" and use robbery instead of borrowing to remove the most important disease ability from the witch, but found that he was also separated and could not affect others.

As for the members of the "Different" club, they suddenly found themselves on another street in the East District, more than a thousand meters away from Sassen Street.

These innocent victims were "exiled" from the battlefield in a special way!
Thinking back on the various abilities that had appeared in the brief chaos just now, those incomprehensible but extremely fierce confrontations, these extraordinary people who had almost forgotten their fighting instincts in many years of peaceful life finally felt a hint of fear.

……

Angel, who was in the divided battlefield, stopped using her "disease" ability, allowing the pathogens that were surrounding her but unable to disperse to quickly disappear. Like everyone else, she also cast her eyes on the archon with short brass hair, light golden eyes, and a fat face that vaguely resembled the statue of the "Night Emperor".

Even now, Angel couldn't see anything special about the parasitic Archon. He really looked like just an ordinary person.

But the golden ribbons that surrounded him as if they were real contained an incomparable power of order, which was even more powerful than the power of Anne Gustave floating in the sky.

There is no doubt that it is the power of the "Hand of Order".

A Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic controlled by Amon's clone.

Faced with a neutral "City of Hope", Angel believes that he and Kleinnu can find a way to break its "laws" through hard work, but faced with a consul who is parasitized by the "Worm of Time" and can control the power of the "Hand of Order", there is no hope of "seizing power".

The only person who could do this was Anne Gustave, who was also at the "Arbitrator" Pathway Sequence 2. However, she was floating in the air at this time, surrounded by golden ribbons representing the city's laws, and she showed a painful expression for the first time in front of Angel.

She was under some kind of attack because of her previous violation of the "No Stealing" rule and because she helped Angel and Klein block the real-time punishment. Although it was not fatal, it caused a powerful ghost ship to feel extremely painful.

"Obstructing law enforcement and enforcing private law without the permission of law enforcement agencies are both serious crimes. Fortunately, no real casualties were caused, otherwise I would not be able to stop the city's law enforcement procedures."

Looking up at Anne, Gerdruf spoke in a deep voice, as if he was sentencing a criminal in court.

Then, he looked at Angel again, chuckled, and said:

"You spread deadly germs, endangered public safety, and, of course, instructed your double to contact attackers outside the City of Hope to destroy the city. You will undoubtedly be sentenced to more than ten years in prison."

“There is no last clause in the law.”

Angel curled his lips and retorted, but he created a new substitute in the "mirror world" and began to secretly recite his own name. A delicate diamond-shaped talisman also fell into his hand from the mirror space.

"It will be available next week. I will submit a revised bill and after it is passed by Parliament, it will close this loophole. Of course, the law does not apply retroactively, but the first two charges alone are sufficient."

The Archon smiled slightly on his fat face, glanced at Annie above him, and continued:
"Unfortunately, if she had been willing to take over the position of 'Consul' yesterday, the situation might have been different, but now you are all 'Residents' and everything will be controlled by the laws of the city."

Immediately, he looked at Klein, who was imprisoned with his secret doll, and his expression turned cold. He said:
"You haven't committed any serious crime yet. It's not illegal to turn the rabbit you bought into a secret doll. There's no law that can punish you for other crimes... Let me think about it. Wasting food is shameful. A fine of 200 Nar is imposed."

The expressions of Klein and his secret puppet, Quinas, became somewhat dull. He did not expect that the consul, who clearly knew that he had exploited a loophole in the law, did not bend the law for personal gain, but instead made an extremely "fair" judgment.

Does the "Hand of Order" also have regulations for this?
Guesses flashed through his mind, and Klein had two talismans of different shapes hidden in his hands. He stared at the fat "Archon", ready to find an opportunity to launch an attack.

But Gerdruf seemed unaware and instead turned his attention to the last "suspect" present, the "arsonist" Nemo.

Or you can call him Amon.

"So, can I hear my charges?"

Nemo asked with interest, a smile on his face as he reached out to straighten the brass-framed monocle in his right eye socket.

"Of course, even a death row inmate has this right," Geldruf took two steps closer, passed Angel, and approached him, "Robbered others' important items, stole others' extraordinary abilities, attempted to replace others' identities and destinies, and caused law enforcement agencies to misjudge and treat all of the above crimes as 'theft' and only punish them as misdemeanors."

Following the sharp comments of the "Archon", Angel also learned how Amon was able to display his extraordinary abilities many times without being punished.

Simply put, he made all actions be considered "theft", and in order to avoid multiple misdemeanors from being compounded into a punishment more terrible than a felony, the law stipulates that for multiple similar actions within a short period of time, only the first one will be punished.

But if the one enforcing the law is not the cold "Hand of Order", but the "Consul" in front of him who has the ability to think...

"For all the above crimes, I sentence you to death in the name of the consul. The sentence will be executed immediately."

The smile on Geldruf's face disappeared and he spoke seriously.

As his words fell, the golden ribbons that had originally restrained Annie in the sky quickly fell down, ignoring the power that separated everyone, and quickly enveloped Amon, almost completely wrapping him up.

This scene made Angel look stunned. What happened? Wasn't the Archon also parasitized by the Worm of Time and became one of Amon's clones? Why did he directly sentence another Amon to death?
Are they playing any special games?
At this moment, Angel even thought of another aspect that was unrelated to the battle.

But compared to her surprise, Amon, who was surrounded by the "Law", did not show any change in expression, as if he had expected such a scene.

He let go of his glasses, opened his arms, and welcomed his own "death penalty".

The next second, the golden ribbons visible to the naked eye pierced into Amon's body like sharp swords.

"Execution"!
Seeing this scene, Angel felt as if he himself had been executed by an "arbitrator" angel, and he felt a phantom pain from the bottom of his heart.

No, this was not an illusion, she was really being "executed"!
Suddenly, I realized that Angel's figure had turned into scattered pieces of mirror fragments under the attack of an invisible force. Beside her, Klein's dull expression also became indifferent and flat, and then turned into a burning paper man.

They were both attacked with "execution" at the same time.

That was the fate that was supposed to be borne by Amon, but due to the exchange of the fates of the three in the previous battle, it fell on Angel and Klein.

The instigator Amon's smile grew wider, his deep blue eyes fixed on Archon Geldruf, and he reached out to push the brass monocle in his right eye socket.

"Now, you are me..."

His words that sounded like a declaration of victory came to an abrupt end.

A transparent "Time Worm" appeared from beside Geldruf, with its head curled up, as if it had hit a barrier that prevented it from entering the Archon's body, revealing its shape.

This sudden change caused Angel's brain to go blank after he had just recovered from his substitute state.

"Nemo" Amon is attacking "Archon" Amon through parasitism?
Just now, she saw through the observation of the "Man in the Mirror" that there was a "Worm of Time" in Geldruf's body!

Even more surprised than her was "Nemo" Amon. His confident smile disappeared and the monocle in his eye socket tilted to one side.

It took him a full second to figure out the current situation, and the smile reappeared on his face.

"I see... You got there first. I'm curious, why did you 'betray' us?"

“Because, it’s fun.”

Gerdruf still had a smile on his face. Although the two had completely different facial shapes, at this moment, Angel saw the same temperament in them.

That was a "mischievous" smile.

“It’s actually pretty entertaining, frankly.”

The thin "Nemo" Amon nodded, agreeing with the other party's answer.

Then, his body, wrapped in the golden ribbons, exploded into a ball of dazzling light.

Including the starlight inside the "Time Worm" that hit the wall, and several bright spots flying from the distant suburbs, all the brilliance seemed to be attracted and merged into the body of "Archon" Geldruf one after another.

Angel had seen this scene before. At that time, Pales in Leonard's body was using the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics to absorb the extraordinary characteristics of all Amon's clones in Backlund.

Now, this scene happened again to the "Consul".

"Well, we have finally dealt with these clones hidden in the City of Hope," Gelderuf picked up the "Time Worm" that fell in front of him and looked at Angel with a smile on his face, "Now, it's time to talk to you prisoners."

Before he could utter the next word, Angel thrust out the talisman in his palm, causing countless complex symbols to tumble and overlap inside its diamond-like raised texture, and pure, clear light illuminated the surroundings.

“Future history!”

As Angel recited the activation spell in the obscure ancient Hermetic language, the "Reappearance of Yesterday" disintegrated into pieces and merged into the void, bringing her into a series of unforgettable experiences.

Angel felt a strong desire in her heart, wanting to see again the scenes of her meeting and reuniting with Klein, traveling across the five seas with him, returning to Backlund, and living and fighting in various identities.

But now is not the time...

Quickly locking onto the needed "history", she took the initiative to let go of her spirituality, accepting the overlap of history and the present, causing her body to undergo a slight change, returning to the night two days ago, to the moment when she had just entered the "City of Dreams".

Now, she is no longer the "resident" Angel, but the "outsider" Angel!
