Chapter 93 - Chapter 90 Ince: The Advantage Is Mine!

In that house with the iconic red chimneys, within the gloomy secret room, Ince Zangwill's breathing suddenly became heavy.The quill in his hand—that Sealed Artifact "0-08" representing the Authority of "Fate"—was currently scribbling uncontrollably and frantically on the parchment.Lines of elegant handwriting appeared, only to be violently crossed out by thick ink stains, as if covering up some unspeakable horror.Ince stared fixedly at the paper, attempting to discern the truth from the chaotic ink blots.He saw it—unexpectedly, he saw the aftermath of the "Magician" who had been parasitized by Amon.That damned crow, that blasphemous swindler, had actually gone to visit that invisible, massive shadow in Tingen City, that behind-the-scenes Existence that even "0-08" trembled before.And then?The words on the paper began to turn frantic.[They met.]A mere few words, yet they seemed to contain terrifying information capable of tearing reality apart.The ink smeared into a pitch-black dot over the word "met," resembling a continuously collapsing black hole.In Ince's mind, the massive shadow that he had perceived on a spiritual level earlier—the one that could not be spied upon or described—involuntarily emerged.An even greater mastermind behind the scenes.He forced himself to continue reading, but the subsequent content made his pupils suddenly constrict.Line after line, page after page of text was violently scribbled out, forming a chaotic expanse of pitch black.The smear marks were frantic and desperate, more than all the previously modified content combined, as if "0-08" would rather destroy itself than record any details of that confrontation.It was as if this pen was about to snap from having peered into the Cosmos and the Outer Deity.Damn it, this isn't Mysticism!0-08 also hadn't expected Mr. Nai Ya, the noble thousand faces god,To be so unfathomable:After the endless Darkness, a clear line of text finally appeared, written as if with the last of its strength:[Amon has left, and everything is over.]Ince could clearly feel that when writing this sentence, the emotion conveyed by "0-08" was not a record, but a sense of relief—the fortune of having survived a catastrophe.Over?Ince Zangwill's pupils suddenly constricted. No, that's not right!As a former high-ranking deacon of the Church of the Evernight, he possessed an almost instinctive keenness regarding the logic of "0-08."This conclusion was too abrupt, too clean—so clean that it was as if someone had forcibly pressed a pause button.If it were merely Amon leaving, given the characteristics of "0-08," it would never have used such large swaths of scribbles to cover up the process.This pen, this living Sealed Artifact, would rather clearly announce Amon's departure than reveal the name of another Existence within the sentence "everything is over."And that name, even if not written down, was branded into Ince's mind like a burn.This pen is afraid of Him!It has even become somewhat humble.Ince understood."Everything is over"—this sentence itself was a Lie, a Lie woven for self-preservation.Amon had left, but that even more terrifying Existence must have also left.Then, what was left at the scene?Ince's gaze fell back onto the paper, onto 0-08.On a fresh page, it slowly wrote a new line of text in elegant Hermes.[The fanatic of the Aurora Order, Hainas Vansant, discovered a perfect vessel that could be used for Divine Descent in the ruins of the battle.]Ince stopped in his tracks abruptly, staring fixedly at that line of text.A vessel? A perfect vessel?His breathing suddenly became rapid.The quill continued to write, presenting everything Hainas had seen before Ince's eyes.[That vessel possesses the Sequence and appearance of the Blasphemer Amon, yet it has been corrupted by a higher-level power, filled with maternal radiance and the desire to give birth—][Its essence is extremely high, far surpassing mortal boundaries; it will be even more perfect than Megose under the catalysis of Ritual Magic!]Ince's eyes widened further and further; he could almost see that eerie yet perfect corpse through the text.His failed plan, his shattered script, seemed at this moment to have found the possibility of being pieced back together!He lunged at the table, an expression of incredulous ecstasy on his face.His previous plan had too many loopholes.Lanulius was just a fool controlled by desire; he had no pious faith in the "Lord" at all.Megose was even more of an innocent mortal; using her as a vessel was inherently an inefficient choice.But now, everything was different!Hainas Vansant!He is a member of the Aurora Order, a believer who fanatically worships the "Lord"!He is a Beyonder of the "Secrets Supplicant" Pathway and already possesses a large amount of Ritual Magic related to the "True Creator," so there is no need for him to be guided!And this new vessel, possessing Amon's Sequence and tainted by various high-level powers, appearing to be in a state of pregnancy, is simply a holy object born for Divine Descent!All the conditions have been gathered at this moment."Perfect—this is simply too perfect!"Ince trembled with excitement; he felt as if he had regained control of the script.He no longer hesitated, grabbing the 0-08 quill and beginning to write furiously on the pages. He was going to turn this perfect Plan B into reality![The pious servant Hainas Vansant, upon receiving the "Lord's" tacit approval, was ecstatic. He brought this divine vessel back to his secret stronghold.][He knows what to do. He was once a tramp at the bottom of the city, best able to understand the resentment and despair of the oppressed. He will utilize these negative emotions as the best nourishment for conducting the Divine Descent ritual.][He plans to work with Mr. Z to connect the nodes of the ritual with the factories, slums, and sewers of Tingen City, letting the gloom and oppression of the entire city become the hotbed for the birth of the Divine Child!][The Divine Descent will no longer be limited to a small area, but will use the entire Tingen City as an altar!]Ince wrote more and more smoothly, feeling his inspiration bursting forth as he wrote.He felt that he was no longer a lousy screenwriter, but an "Author" who could truly manipulate fate!Every word he wrote seemed to carry an unquestionable power, influencing the real world from the unseen.This feeling intoxicated him immensely."Lanulius obtained the Ritual Magic from an Aurora Order member, and now, Hainas, a true member of the Aurora Order, is personally completing this ritual—this is very reasonable!""The Aurora Order previously snatched the Antigonus Family notes from the Secret Sorcery Club, and now, they have utilized the remains left behind by Amon—this is also very reasonable!""Everything is seamless!"Ince wrote the final stroke, then threw down the quill and leaned back in his chair, letting out a long sigh of relief.He looked at the "script" he had written, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.The actors are in position.The script is ready.The stage is set.Now, even the most crucial, unique prop—this perfect [Divine Descent vessel]—has appeared before his eyes as if gifted by heaven!Nothing is missing!The birth of the Divine Child—all conditions have been met!Everything is too perfect, so perfect that this script hardly seems like it came from the hands of a lousy screenwriter like him!Ince Zangwill leaned back against the chair, closed his eyes, and wore a confident smile that suggested he was in control of everything."The advantage is mine!"
