Chapter 309 Assassination
When Amon in the tomb was completely infected by the red light and became a prisoner, Evan did not let his guard down. Instead, he directly conjured a giant sword blazing with flames in his hand and transformed into a streak of fire, shooting towards Amon.
When Evan reformed into human form, the flaming greatsword was already piercing Amon's body, and Amon offered no resistance whatsoever.
Just as Evan killed Amon, an ominous city phantom appeared behind him, and a black phantom shot out from the phantom, penetrating Amon's body along the weapon in Evan's hand.
The moment the phantom entered Amon's body, the flaming greatsword in Evan's hand disintegrated into specks of red light, which then transformed into a red chain engraved with many runes, locking everything about Amon except his body and extraordinary characteristics, and pulling him into the City of Calamity!
After Evan advanced to Sequence 5, although he could no longer access the abilities of higher sequences in advance, his control over the City of Calamity was significantly enhanced.
At least Amon's Sequence 4 clones couldn't stop Evan's "Prisoner"!
After dealing with Amon, Evan squatted down and turned the portrait in front of the dark coffin over.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, "That was close!"
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that in just those few seconds of rushing in, at least ten years of life had been lost.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that at least half of the subordinates he had previously gathered outside the tomb had died of old age, their remains scattered as materials on the ground.
Those who didn't die of old age were already on the verge of collapse and their days were numbered.
Evan was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see his subordinates so old, so he simply waved his hand and summoned many fireballs, which accurately struck them, restoring them to their original forms!
At the same time, he handed the portrait in his hand to "Amon," who was already kneeling before him, and said with a smile:
"Only you can use this thing!"
The kneeling "Amon" obsequiously accepted the portrait that looked exactly like himself, returning the stored time to Evan while smiling ingratiatingly:
"This is all thanks to my master!"
Feeling the 'time' he had previously consumed returning to him, Evan breathed a sigh of relief, then offered a pie-in-the-sky promise to the respectful 'Amon':
"Do a good job, and in the future I will take back your original form and give you the chance to be a real human being!"
That's right, the prisoner of the City of Calamity who now occupies Amon's body is the living embodiment of "Bonaparte's Guardian," who was unlucky enough to fall into Evan's hands back then.
Amon is Amon after all. Even though he "captured" him with the help of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Battle Bishop" and the blessing of the City of Calamity, Evan still didn't dare to use him with complete peace of mind.
After all, Amon's true form is an angel king who is only one step away from becoming a true god, and a very troublesome angel king who has taken the path of the thief.
Evan and the City of Calamity's configurations were at best underpowered, and they were quite insecure!
Evan was determined to plug any loopholes, no matter how small.
However, it would be a waste to just let any "prisoner" take over Amon's body and extraordinary characteristics.
Finally, Evan turned his attention to Bonaparte, who had been trained by the City of Calamity!
He himself is a living demigod-level sealed artifact with sufficient status. At the same time, he is a hunter pathway that is completely countered by Evan. Moreover, he has been very obedient since being captured, doing whatever he is told.
Therefore, Evan ultimately chose to release it and possess Amon's body!
Only when the prisoners of the City of Calamity occupy Amon's body can the search for Amon's true form be completely abandoned!
"Whether I can get my original body back or not is no longer important. Everything I have belongs to my master. The only thing that matters is staying by my master's side!"
Although it was meant to be a pledge of loyalty, Evan found it incredibly cheesy and felt completely uncomfortable!
Perhaps because he spent too much time in Backlund, he became more hypocritical, so this blatant flattery backfired and caused a physiological backlash!
"You will parasitize this ring, and from now on you will disguise yourself as a mysterious object formed from the extraordinary characteristics of a 'parasite'!"
Suppressing his discomfort, Evan revealed the communication ring given to him by Ms. Amanda and gave instructions to "Bonaparte".
Bonaparte didn't haggle and directly transformed into a streak of dark light, entering the ring, emphasizing obedience.
Then Evan took out the spatial pouch from his waist and collected the extraordinary materials formed by his former subordinates.
Meanwhile, feedback from the City of Calamity regarding Amon's interrogation was also received. Only then did Evan learn that this tomb was connected to the legendary "Abyss." Amon had set up a convenient passage for himself, from which he could enter the Abyss and then use the Abyss's properties to go to places that were inconvenient to go directly, such as the Forsaken Lands!
After hesitating for a moment, Evan did not destroy the setup here. Instead, he added some disguises and seals!
The reason why the layout here wasn't destroyed wasn't because of Amon, but because of the "Abyss".
Evan was also very curious about the situation in the Abyss. In his eyes, the Abyss was a natural military training base, capable of unexpectedly raising a powerful army. Although, according to Roselle's diary, even demons could not survive normally in the Abyss at this time!
Evan wouldn't give up the Abyss unless absolutely necessary; he would explore it sooner or later!
After checking everything and making sure he hadn't missed anything, Evan left the tomb, refilled the seal with soil, and even stomped on it a couple more times.
He took out his pocket watch from his breast pocket and glanced at it. This exploration, thanks to thorough preparation, took less than half an hour.
Putting the pocket watch away, Evan looked in the direction of Backlund, lost in thought.
"I don't know if that apostle of desire has made a move yet. After these two days of fermentation, all the official forces have been attracted by his actions."
Moreover, thanks to Klein and Isengard Stanton's preparations, his address has been exposed, and it seems the time has come to eliminate Duke Negan!
Evan's choice to explore Amon's tomb on this day was partly to give this apostle of desire an opportunity, and partly to avoid suspicion.
After all, the conflict between the Duke of Negan and Robert had become increasingly public, and MI9 had made a serious leak during the assassination attempt!
According to the original description, the success of the Apostles of Desire was largely due to the cooperation of the members of the Twilight Shroud, who were lurking in MI9.
One should always be wary of others; Evan must be careful to prevent this fire from burning him!
But Evan couldn't stay away; he had to return after Duke Negan was assassinated and take on the task of screening internal personnel as much as possible.
This was both to prevent those with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation and to find hidden members of the Twilight Hidden Earth Society to see if they could join them. Even if they couldn't join themselves, they wanted to see if they could get Robert in!
Judging from past experiences, Adam has always paid close attention to Robert!
If this concern is about investment, that's fine, but what if this concern is about watching the slaughter of fat pigs?
Evan felt it was necessary to find out what Adam was up to!
Just as Evan was about to enter Backlund along the Stratford River, he suddenly felt an unusual wind. It was unusual because Evan could see from a distance that the wind was heading directly toward the port, while there was no similar wind blowing around. This was obviously man-made!
This is Archbishop Snake. The Church of Storms has been mobilized. Jason Belial is about to make his move!
It was clear that Evan had replied a little too early, but that didn't stump him.
Evan immediately changed direction and headed towards the dock as well.
He remembered that Jason Berea had a witch companion who had covered for him and lured away the most crucial person at the port.
This witch was likely sent by the witch cult, coordinated by George III.
Since the Augustus family hadn't informed Evan, it was perfectly reasonable for him to capture "Jason Belial," and no one could blame him!
Evan is now tasked with helping Archbishop Snake capture this witch.
This way, he could clear himself of suspicion and continue to cause trouble for the Witch Cult, since Duke Negan was the most important secular representative of the Storm Church.
After his assassination, the Storm Church will frantically search for the killer, especially since this assassination has the background of the Twilight Hidden Earth Society!
Evan never believed that the seven major churches would be completely unaware of the Twilight Hermits. Even if the archbishops didn't know, the angels of the church must have known something about it, otherwise they would have been defeated by Adam from behind several times over!
Evan soon arrived at the dock area and found that Archbishop Snake had already arrived, standing at the highest point of the dock warehouse, but frowning as he scrutinized the crowds coming and going below.
"Greetings, Archbishop Snake. May I ask what Your Excellency is looking for?"
Evan shouldn't know about Backlund's current manhunt, so he deliberately pretended to have stumbled upon it by chance!
"Oh, it's Evan! What are you doing here!"
Archbishop Snake had personally baptized Robert, accepted Robert's faith in the God of Storms, and had also met Evan, so he surprisingly gave Evan a smile!
"I just left the new army's base and am heading back to Backlund to coordinate with the Ministry of Defense to allocate the necessary supplies!"
Evan delivered his prepared statement, his tone tinged with resentment.
Although the Ministry of Defense currently lacks a Minister of Defense, it is largely still under the control of Duke Negan. Duke Negan can cause Evan considerable trouble with just a flick of his finger.
This is also the main reason why Evan desperately wanted Duke Negan dead, and the reason why George III personally coordinated with the witch to help Jason Beria kill him.
The Duke of Negan is really blocking a lot of people's way!
Archbishop Snake pretended not to hear Evan's complaint. After all, the conflict between Duke Negan and Robert was an internal power struggle within the Church of Storms, and it was not appropriate for him to express his opinion at this time. He could only follow up on Evan's earlier question and say:
"A 'demon' escaped from Backlund, and I heard about it and prepared to capture him, but I can't find any trace of him here."
Evan pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "I heard that a 'demon hound' that was preparing for its ascension ceremony was killed yesterday, and that the demon hound had an owner!"
In other words, the demon that escaped from Backlund should be a Sequence 5 "Apostle of Desire".
Each demon has different characteristics; perhaps this demon's ability is to conceal itself, like the 'Faceless Man,' allowing it to blend into the crowd!
Archbishop Snake thought about it and felt that Evan's words made sense, so he said:
"You make a good point. It seems I'll have to seal off the entire dock and wait for the others to arrive before conducting a thorough investigation!" Archbishop Snake said, preparing to take action.
Evan quickly stopped the Archbishops Snake and his men from acting, and said urgently:
"Actually, it doesn't need to be that complicated. I have a magical item made using the extraordinary properties of the 'Fire Stealer,' which can find extraordinary individuals hidden among the crowd!"
The "Thief" pathway is known for stealing the extraordinary abilities of their opponents, making it difficult for other extraordinary individuals to hide their identities from them!
Even if one can conceal their appearance and physical characteristics, they cannot hide the existence of their extraordinary abilities.
Archbishop Snake was overjoyed to hear that Evan possessed such a useful and magical item, and sent Evan to verify it while he stayed behind to oversee the process!
Evan knew that the witch had entered an inland river passenger ship, but he started his investigation from the ocean passenger ship first. After all, logically speaking, when faced with the pursuit of a demigod, one should run as far away as possible.
During Evan's search, he also happened to find two wild extraordinary beings who were preparing to leave Backlund to venture into the ocean, which made Archbishop Snake have even more confidence in Evan!
After surveying all the ocean-going vessels, Ivan finally turned his attention to inland river vessels.
At this point, Evan stopped pretending and used the "Gray Vision" to accurately locate the witch's position.
With a demigod present, the outcome was as expected. Just as the witch was smugly wrapping her human skin around a stone statue and preparing to sink it to the bottom, she was caught red-handed by Evan and Archbishop Snake!
Before he could even understand what was happening, he was struck unconscious by a bolt of lightning from Archbishop Snake. His beautiful hair turned to dust, his whole body was burned, and he fell into a coma!
Evan naturally stepped in to assist, breaking all four of the delicate beauty's limbs and then tying them up with a rope!
While Evan was tying people up, Archbishop Snake frowned as he unwrapped the human skin from the statue, looking at the 'Primordial Witch' statue with its head full of snakes, his face solemn!
When Evan saw the statue, he pretended to be startled, and then hurriedly spread out the human skin next to him, revealing Jason Belial's appearance!
"We've been tricked; this is a diversionary tactic."
The captain of the "Punisher" squad, who had arrived early to accompany Archbishop Snake, exclaimed in surprise, completely unaware of his superior's unpleasant expression.
Just then, a member of the "Punisher" wearing glasses ran over and handed a small note to Archbishop Snake.
Simultaneously report to the supervisor:
"It's terrible, Your Excellency Archbishop! Duke Nigan has been assassinated!"
