Mystery: At the start, you gain the uniqueness of the thief.

Chapter 16 Azik the Parasite

Amon's words made Bethel take another look at Rosen. Although it was only the first time he had met this suddenly appearing brother Amon, Amon's attitude had already made Bethel realize that this Mr. Rosen was definitely not someone to be trifled with, and might even be more difficult to deal with than Amon.

Thinking about how difficult Amon usually was, Bethel suddenly felt a slight ache in his temples.

But now was clearly not the time to investigate this matter. Bethel then looked at Medici, who was beating Adam with the help of the two old men. After sensing the familiar power unique to the Red Priest on the other party, he couldn't help but frown.

Bethel was quite certain that before He left and arrived here, the Red Priest's uniqueness still lay with His half-mad superior.

If we rule out the possibility that the Blood Emperor Tudor died in such a short time, or that he suddenly went mad and lent his uniqueness to Medici, the only explanation seems to be that there are two Red Priests with uniqueness in this world at this moment.

This was originally impossible, but... Bethel's gaze fell on Rosen and Amon beside him. The unique power of the two was so dazzling that it was impossible to mistake them.

What's wrong with this world?

Bethel sensed that something was secretly spiraling out of control without his knowledge, which gave Mr. Men a somewhat ominous feeling.

As for the fact that Medici, who had already perished, suddenly became lively again, Bethel didn't care that much—mainly because there are too many high-sequence beings in this world who do sit-ups in their coffins, and it's not uncommon for someone at the level of the Angel King to be resurrected.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that only a minority of beings at this level have completely perished.

But Bethel clearly hadn't forgotten why he'd come all this way. He first used the power of space to isolate Adam and Medici, and before the latter could continue their attack, he said, "Excuse me for reminding you, but if you keep fighting, Salinger will be here soon. He'll probably be more than happy to see you both suffer heavy losses."

This isn't meant to scare anyone; in fact, with the commotion they've caused, death is already on its way.

"Heh!" Medici sneered. He stared at Adam, who was not far away. Adam's clothes were tattered by his flames and he had been hit hard by him several times in the battle, but Adam's expression remained calm. Medici did not choose to continue fighting. Instead, he turned his head to look at Rosen, who had landed beside him.

Rosen met His gaze without flinching and asked with a smile, "Where are we going next? Would you like to visit the True Creator?"

Medici gritted his teeth. If He had known Adam's true identity beforehand, He would have chosen to meet the Lord of this era without hesitation, but now…

Medici closed his eyes briefly, suppressing the complex emotions within him. When he opened them again, the anger in his red eyes had been completely suppressed. He asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"Me?" Rosen smiled, not answering directly, but feigning surprise, "Ah, you came so quickly!"

A chilling aura seemed to envelop the area at this moment, as if a portal was about to take shape.

"What a show!" Rosen couldn't help but complain. Under normal circumstances, the descent of the Grim Reaper wouldn't cause such a commotion.

"After all, as a noble deity, there are always some unnecessary rituals." Amon, who appeared beside Adam at some point, raised his hand, pinched the monocle on his face, and spoke with a smile, his tone tinged with sarcasm.

Adam then looked at Rosen and said, "I mean you no harm."

"What a coincidence, I don't have any either." Rosen replied with a smile, while he grabbed Medici with one hand and Urolius with the other, the power of the jewel buckle taking effect at that moment.

Goodbye, everyone.

Having witnessed this scene, Bethel clearly sensed something, a hint of doubt in his eyes. But in the end, he said nothing, only pinched the gem clasp on his sleeve, and left this place of trouble with Adam and Amon.

After they all disappeared, whether it was intentional timing or he was truly late, Death Salinger finally stepped out of the door with his men. His gaze swept over the various traces left by the battle, and then he snorted coldly, though there was a hint of doubt in his eyes that he did not show.

The Red Priestess's uniqueness and... Medici?

No one knew what Death God Salinger was thinking at that moment, but His gloomy face alone was enough to make everyone present kneel on the ground, including Azik Aegis, the Death Regent who was nominally Death God's most favored offspring and currently ruled the Byron Empire as Salinger's agent, but in reality, he was just a tool.

After an unknown amount of time, Azik finally heard Death's cold voice from above:

"Azik, you stay and investigate."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Azik replied respectfully. Before Death, whatever he thought in his heart, he could only show respect and obedience.

Death Salinger clearly didn't intend to stay any longer and left quickly, leaving only Azik and his minions behind.

The death of his father clearly brought a sigh of relief to the Death Consul of the Byron Empire, but before he could even muster the energy to investigate the scene, he suddenly heard a laughing voice beside him:

"Hello, Mr. Death Archon!"

No, the voice did not simply come from His ear.

—He was parasitized.

This realization caused Azik to pause, but he quickly resumed his actions. He even methodically arranged for his subordinates to go and gather information from the others before whispering to himself, away from everyone else:

What advice do you have for me?

"Aren't you going to ask Death for help?" the voice continued.

"Will Your Excellency give me this opportunity?" Azik asked, his expression unchanged.

"Of course I can, I'm not that wicked guy Amon." The parasite, which was Rosen's clone, said with a grin. As someone who possessed the unique power of a thief, Amon could parasitize others, and Rosen could too.

So when he left, Rosen left behind an avatar, which, after Death left, took the opportunity to try to parasitize Azik.

Rosen had actually prepared for failure, after all, Azik was a Sequence 2 Death Archon, not so easy to parasitize, but the result was unexpectedly smooth, as if the other party's flesh and blood had embraced it on its own initiative.

"...Your Excellency, not Amon?" Azik seemed hesitant, clearly not quite believing Rosen's words.

"Of course I'm not Him. I'm Amon's brother. You can call me Rosen." Rosen didn't hide anything, smiling as he spoke, and then continued:

"However, I do not recommend that you seek help from Death. He may help you eliminate my existence, but in the process, your body will probably be further modified to become a more suitable vessel."
