Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 963: Corresponding Preparations
After entering the last city of the Trunsost Empire at the risk of not being able to leave the "Ghost Empire" and obtaining the "Hand of Order" feature and an entire floating city, the "opposition" forces led by Angel and Klein have actually reached their strongest point.

These small groups who tried to prevent George III from becoming a god for various reasons included an angel who was a Sequence 2 "Balancer" and could manipulate floating cities to fight with the power of one Sequence 1 and four Sequence 2 characteristics; three saints who each had their own special features and whose combat power exceeded that of Sequence 3; and a Witch of Despair who was only a Sequence 4 but could attract the descent of the "Original Witch"; as well as royal demigods and saints from the three major churches in varying numbers and with unclear attitudes.

In terms of quantity, these forces are almost as good as the high-end Beyonders displayed by a kingdom. In terms of quality, after Anne Gustav obtained the Sequence 1 characteristics and "upgraded" the ghost ship to a floating city, she was able to compete with the Sequence 1 archangels. Angel, Klein, and Bernadette also had their own particularities and were confident of defeating any saint below the angels. Triss's upper and lower limits of power varied greatly, but she was able to mobilize the power of the "Original Witch", so her destructive power was worth looking forward to.

Behind them are the "Snake of Fate" Will, the Headless Messenger Reinette, Pales Zoroast and other "old, weak, sick and disabled" angels. Although none of them except Reinette can directly participate in the battle, they can provide indirect help.

As long as George III steps onto the altar and accepts the people's sacrifice, there will only be one Sequence 1, one Sequence 2, and one Sequence 3 royal family left. They will not be able to defend all nine mausoleums, and will inevitably reveal fatal flaws in the true and false attacks that are distracting!
Not to mention that there may be the "traitor" as Georgina said. As long as someone does not work hard, the faction supporting George III will become even more weak and unsustainable.

But if Crane could think of this, couldn't George III?
He is holding a sacrifice with such a big fanfare, and the probability of luring out opponents is indeed greater than holding a ceremony directly. And as long as it is clear who is behind it and eliminates these people, He can choose a more appropriate time to hold a national sacrifice again with the consent of the Orthodox Church and truly ascend the throne of the "Black Emperor".

Fortunately, I have my own way of dealing with it... After becoming an "Ancient Scholar", Klein, who had been constantly training his new abilities, immediately thought of a plan. He tapped his right index finger slowly on the bronze table and said after careful consideration:

"I have a way to make George III actually walk up to the altar this Saturday and start the ceremony of the 'Black Emperor'..."

Then he told Angel the plan he had already gone over in his mind.

Looking at the other person's obviously dazed body, Klein chuckled and felt a little proud of his quick wit.

This is something that only "ancient scholars" can do!
But thinking of the battle three days ago where he barely won with the combined strength of multiple "Kleins", he subconsciously shrank his neck and felt his hands and feet go limp.

"Anyway, I will first find Will Auceptin and ask him to grant me some luck before trying to summon the Sealed Object. You should also go to Annie as soon as possible and ask her to stop taking out the witch attribute of 'Disaster' and temporarily maintain the full combat power of 'Dream City'... With her, our chances of success this time will be more than 50%!"

Shaking off the happy and painful memories in his mind, Klein said solemnly.

This is not because he is deliberately being conservative, but even if you are fully prepared, there is still a major variable in the action:

"Utopian Angel" Adam!
This is the "Angel King" who has also obtained all the characteristics and uniqueness of Sequence 1. As long as He joins the battle, even if George III is trapped on the altar and unable to move, Klein's chances of winning will be infinitely reduced.

Of course, Adam had never directly joined any battles so far. He might have just arranged everything and prepared for his own deification ceremony. But Klein had to at least take him into account as a variable, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to him.

This is why Anne Gustav took the risk to enter the Ghost Empire even though the situation inside was unclear and she might not be able to leave in time after entering. If this Sequence 2 angel were to attack the defended mausoleum alone, the success rate would be less than 10%.

Now, the "Ghost Ship" has become the "City of Dreams". As her strength increases, Annie no longer has to fix her target on the mausoleum along the coast. Instead, she can come to any of the nine mausoleums at any time and destroy it instantly with destructive force!

Compared to her who could fight against Sequence 1 Angels, Angel's promotion to "Disaster" would have to be delayed.

Angel also understood these things, so he nodded without hesitation:
"I'll go there today."

She still had a small part of the "immortality" potion that had not been digested. She had originally planned to choose a battlefield in the near future, try to die in front of the soldiers of both sides and the Beyonders, and then revive through the "Mirror Man" to get enough feedback, but the sudden death of the eldest prince and the radicalism of George III disrupted her plan. Fortunately, Anne's strength was greatly improved during the trip to the "Dream City"... Touching Anne's mark on his palm, Angel felt a little comforted.

The two continued to discuss some "routine" preparations, such as sharing the various spells they made, preparing to visit the angels they knew, praying to the Goddess of Night, etc., and then ended this impromptu meeting.

……

Returning to reality once again, Angel entered the mirror world without any delay and moved forward along the deep and dark passage towards the distant "City of Dreams".

As the closest contractor to the Archon, the mark on her palm will naturally guide her in the right direction, and there is no need to use the power of the Lawyer, Arbitrator, and Witch to open the door together.

I hope Klein's plan will succeed... As he moved quickly in the quiet world, Angel closed his eyes and the image of the sealed object appeared in his mind.

……

“I hope it will be successful this time…”

After promising Will, the "Snake of Fate," five three-scoop ice creams from Serenzo Restaurant and receiving his "blessing," Klein rubbed his hands, picked up the "Travels of Groselle" that had just been "given" from the gray fog to reality, and slowly grasped it in the air with the other hand, as if picking up an invisible object.

Once, twice...

He tried four times but failed to snatch the real object from the mist of history.

Don’t be impatient. After all, this is a Sequence 1 Beyonder Sealed Artifact. How could it be harder than bringing Angel to my side… He muttered, and simply held the travel journal to his chest. He took a deep breath, solemnly stretched out his right hand, and slowly grasped it in the air.

Immediately, he tensed his arm muscles, pulled back his arm with force, and pulled out a feather pen of an ancient style.

That was the "0-08" that was originally stolen by Ince Zangwill and obtained by Adam after many twists and turns. It was written by Ale Suhod!
Klein's plan is to use this feather pen that is said to have caused the fall of an angel to completely take care of George III!
Last time you arranged for me, this time it's my turn to arrange for you... Before Klein could express his lofty ambitions, he felt that the "0-08" in his hand was already returning to the mist of history. It could only last for a minute at most, so he hurriedly took out a piece of white paper and began to write:
“Although George III intends to use the mourning ceremony for his son to lure out those who oppose his own ceremony, if everything goes well and nothing unexpected happens, he also intends to make the fake play real and take the opportunity to go to the altar and take the magic potion…

“This is a very reasonable development!”

----

After a brief journey through the mirror, Angel once again stepped onto the floating island where the "City of Hope" was located.

To her surprise, the city had changed dramatically in just one month.
