Facing the "Dragon of Imagination," a seemingly fallen "God," was undeniably a great risk.
In response, Uchiha Sogetsu had naturally made thorough preparations.
He left Adam in the hall and recalled the Dark Angel Sasriel.
Although neither of them were true "Sequence 2," they still possessed considerable power.
He knew well that he did not have Klein's gray mist, nor could he be watched by the Lord of Mysteries.
So he had the two set up a "Summoning Ritual" in advance.
If anything went wrong, they would forcibly pull Him out of the "Groselle's Travels" using the ritual.
Of course, all these measures were far from foolproof.
After all, this time they faced a fallen "God," and no amount of preparation guaranteed success.
But he had to go.
Whether it was the opportunity of "Sequence 1," or to uncover the mysteries of the "Groselle's Travels," he needed to investigate personally.
Unlike the original story, the entire world felt very empty and cold.
Apart from the giant Groselle, the elf Siatas, and the northern king Ulyssan, Uchiha Sogetsu sensed almost no signs of life anywhere.
"The original 'Groselle's Travels' absorbed people from many eras," he murmured.
Looking toward a city in the north, his gaze lingered there as he pondered, "Now it seems, without those people, the whole world in the book is very desolate."
He vaguely remembered that in the original story, Klein and the others went to that city.
There, through a person from the third era, they learned part of the historical truth.
He wondered if among the few people left here was the "Blasphemer" Amon.
As he thought this, Uchiha Sogetsu immediately shook his head, cutting off the thought completely.
Better not to have him here; he didn't dare confront the "troublemaker."
Using his own Sequence 2 persona, he seemed quite powerful.
But standing before the 'Blasphemer' Amon, he was basically no different from a child.
Especially when he thought about the disgusting pathway 'Error,' he couldn't help but shiver.
Buzz—!
At that moment, the Quill of Alzuhod trembled slightly.
It seemed to be struggling, trying to break free from his control, but was forcibly suppressed by Uchiha Sogetsu.
"Heh, is it sensing the presence of its 'master'?"
In his pale golden eyes, ripples formed again, reaching deep into the depths.
His profound gaze seemed to pierce through the dream, reaching the most hidden core.
"Is it over there?"
The dream thread formed by the spiritual body extended faintly from the Quill of Alzuhod toward the vast ocean.
And in the depths of that vast ocean stood a city the size of an island.
The foundation of the island was a gray-white, granite-like color, relatively flat.
Countless majestic stone pillars, hundreds of meters tall, stood in a messy yet orderly fashion.
Some pillars stood alone, while others supported towering ancient palaces.
Overall, it looked strange yet magnificent, mixing beauty beyond time and understanding—something no human could have built.
Though it was his first time seeing it, a thought instantly flashed in Uchiha Sogetsu's mind: "The City of Miracles, Liveseyd."
Clearly, that was the 'core' of the dream, and also where the entire dream began.
It was said to be the divine kingdom of the Dragon of Imagination, Ankewelt.
The hope for resurrection was hidden within that city!
The Quill of Alzuhod's sensing of the City of Miracles grew even stronger.
Uchiha Sogetsu had to forcibly suppress it with spiritual energy, but it was still exhausting.
Keep in mind, they hadn't even reached the City of Miracles yet, but the pen's reaction was already this intense.
If he really went inside, then by that time, he would be completely beyond his control.
"It's come this far. There's no turning back now, right?"
Uchiha Sogetsu gave a self-mocking smile and pressed down on the nearly returning Quill of Alzuhod.
"Calm down, I'll take you to see your father soon."
The Quill of Alzuhod was actually the offspring of the Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt—the Dragon of Nightmare Alzuhod—also the Beyonder Characteristics of the Sequence 1 'Author.'
"No rush, no rush."
He gazed at the city of miracles and said calmly, "Let them go scout it out first."
Sometimes you charge ahead; sometimes you stay calm.
When facing a 'god' that might exist, no caution is ever too much!
"Hopefully, this old man is really dead."
Uchiha Sogetsu sighed deeply. Otherwise, he truly wouldn't know how to face a 'god'!
Since killing the giant Groselle and the elf Siatas, the White Zetsu's mental state seemed off.
It always held its head, curled up in the dark cave corner, staring at the campfire and murmuring:
"The Lord stands above billions of radiance, mercy spreading over heaven and earth, accompanied by eight 'Kings' standing guard."
"The 'Dark Angel' is the Lord's first created angel, His left hand, His executor, and vice ruler of heaven;"
"The 'Angel of Imagination' is the Lord's eldest son. The Lord said, in the distant future, you will become the savior of all living beings;"
"'Angel of Time' is the Lord's second son. The Lord said, you are the god of cunning, the god of mischief, the light when the end of days arrives."
"White Angel,' 'Angel of Wind,' and 'Angel of Fate' are the Lord's loyal followers—steadfast, brave, and devout. From weak to strong, they have never changed."
"'Angel of Wisdom' was saved through repentance, sanctified through redemption—completely opposite to those who fell to the ground after eating the fruit of sin."
"'Angel of War' is the Lord's wrath, the Lord's punishment. When He comes to earth, it will be a time of bloodshed..."
Angels—Obito naturally understood these. Since he could be called a 'King,' he must be King of Angel, an existence at the 'Sequence 1' level.
But the problem was the Dark Angel, the Angel of Imagination, Angel of Time, White Angel, Angel of Wisdom, and Angel of War—they all confused him, leaving his mind full of question marks. He had never heard of them!
Obito tried to ask White Zetsu, but the answers only made him more baffled.
Terms like the First Era, Second Era, Third Era—he couldn't make sense of any of it. What exactly was White Zetsu talking about?
Then, in a state of mental breakdown, White Zetsu mentioned the story of the Three Great King of Angels who conspired and betrayed the Lord, finally devouring the Creator and gaining authority.
This story sent chills down Obito's spine!
At the same time, it seemed to spark an idea—if the King of Angels could devour the Creator and gain power, then maybe he could do the same?
