Chapter 1249
A Rare Talent in Prophecy
Lin Qiye seemed to think of something. "By the way, how are Qingyu and the others?"
At this topic, Jinian's gaze toward Lin Qiye grew odd.
"Did something happen to them?" Lin Qiye asked carefully upon seeing her expression.
"Nothing happened to them, but【Utopia】is about to have a problem." Jinian said irritably.
"That An Qingyu is practically a monster! It's only been a few days, and he's already dissected nearly all the 'Mystical' corpses in the institute!
Not only did he break through to the 'Klein' realm, but his spiritual power is still surging. I can barely see through him anymore... If this continues, I feel he's not far from the Human Apex.
As for that girl named Jiang Er, she somehow snuck into our internal network and updated and iterated the entire system. Now the folks in my Tech Department practically worship those two like gods—I'm surprised they haven't started kneeling to them."
An Qingyu is already this strong?
A欣喜 flooded Lin Qiye's heart, and he immediately asked, "What about Pangpang and Cao Yuan?"
"Those two... they're doing pretty well." Jinian's mouth twitched slightly. "To put it this way, no one in the nightlife scene of【Utopia】doesn't know those two. They drink and chat with my Oath Society members every day, calling each other brothers.
I'm honestly worried that one day, with just a word from those two, they'll manage to steal all my subordinates away."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye finally felt relieved.
At least they're making their mark in their respective fields.
"Do they know you're here?"
"I didn't tell them." Jinian shrugged. "The ones you're up against are gods. Even if they came, it wouldn't help much. For something like rescuing you and escaping, fewer people is naturally better.
Besides... my car can only fit two people."
"Thank you." Lin Qiye said sincerely.
Not bringing Qingyu and the others was also a form of protection. If they knew he was in danger, they would definitely rush over without hesitation. Who knows what could happen in the chaos of battle.
"What are your plans next?" Jinian asked.
"First return to【Utopia】, adjust my condition, then use the【Holy Grail】to enter Asgard and find an opportunity to complete the mission." Lin Qiye answered calmly.
"Fair enough. You just barely escaped from several gods. You do need some rest."
After Jinian finished speaking, she lay down directly on the soft Somersault Cloud and let out a long breath, radiating sheer comfort and relaxation.
Her peripheral vision caught sight of Lin Qiye, who sat upright beside her with the vigilance of facing a great enemy. She asked puzzled:
"Why are you so nervous?"
"...Nothing. I just have a bad feeling." Lin Qiye looked around and murmured to himself. "Why hasn't it come yet..."
Nearly twenty minutes had passed since Gilgamesh used up the【Star Coins】, but so far, there was still no sign of misfortune appearing on him.
Theoretically, this should be a good thing, but the calmer it was, the more uneasy Lin Qiye felt.
This misfortune... could it be saving up for something big?
Lin Qiye thought to himself.
"Young man, relax." Jinian leisurely crossed her legs, watching the clouds drift across the sky, and spoke unhurriedly,
"I'm the leader of the Oath Society, the Human Apex!
Even if we encounter gods blocking our path in this mist, as long as there aren't more than three, I can get us both away..."
Before she could finish, rumbling sounds echoed from the distance. Four streams of light pierced through the thick clouds and flew straight toward them from the front!
"What the heck?!"
Jinian sensed those four auras and abruptly sat up from the cloud, her mouth gaping in shock:
"Four gods? What kind of luck is this..."
Lin Qiye's heart sank!
The four figures were hidden within the streams of light, their appearances indistinguishable. They were too fast, flying directly toward them. There was no time to change direction now.
Lin Qiye didn't have time to think. A shimmer of magical light passed over him, and he transformed back into the appearance of Myles.
Since Great Xia was at war with various divine kingdoms, if he appeared before gods with a Great Xia appearance, it would be too conspicuous. He could easily be captured by foreign gods and interrogated about Great Xia's divine secrets. Add to that his identity as a dual-god agent, once discovered, things would definitely end badly.
"What the heck, you can transform? Then what about me? Quick, transform me too!"
Witnessing Lin Qiye's transformation, Jinian said frantically.
"My transformation magic can only be used on myself..." Lin Qiye said helplessly.
Jinian: ...
In her panic, she hastily pixelated a white mask to cover her face.
Lin Qiye's eyes locked onto the four figures. At this moment, he only hoped they would ignore him and Jinian and simply leave... Unfortunately, the four figures slowly came to a halt.
As they approached, Lin Qiye clearly saw the four familiar figures, and his mouth couldn't help but drop open.
Thor the Thunder God, Hodr the Blind God, Tyr the War God, and Vidar the Forest God... These were exactly the Asgard gods who had been scared off by Gilgamesh earlier!
Why would it be them?
He had clearly been flying in the opposite direction from the start. Even if he had been flying aimlessly afterward, the odds of running into them so precisely couldn't be this absurd, right?!
So the misfortune had been building up all this time, waiting to unleash something massive?
Lin Qiye's gaze continued moving back, finally landing on Subject 22 following behind Vidar the Forest God.
Oh no!
He's here too!
He needed to remember that Subject 22 knew Myles's alias. Once he exposed him, things would become very troublesome.
While Lin Qiye's mind raced, the four figures stopped above the sea and looked down at the two humans below.
"Who are you?" Thor the Thunder God spoke in a low voice.
Among the four gods, Subject 22 spotted Lin Qiye immediately. He paused for a moment, then a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"I know!" Subject 22 suddenly spoke. "He's..."
Subject 22 stopped mid-sentence.
He studied Lin Qiye, his eyes flickering slightly, as if he were pondering something.
"He's... the agent of Merlin, the God of Prophecy and Magic, Myles." Subject 22 slowly said.
Lin Qiye, who had already prepared for a desperate showdown, suddenly froze in place. He looked at Subject 22 with a confused expression.
Why didn't he expose him?
"The God of Prophecy and Magic, Merlin?" Thor seemed to recall something. "I've heard of him. The progenitor of divination arts."
"His prophecy arts are incredibly powerful!" Subject 22 exclaimed. "Originally, he was one of the agents being targeted by those two Olympian gods, just like me. But using his prophecy arts, he foresaw everything beforehand. He set up a scheme to entangle us agents with the two gods in a chaotic battle, allowing himself to escape early.
He even arrived at the King's Treasury ahead of everyone else, used his prophecy arts to see through the tricks of the Sumerian pantheon, and escaped in advance...
Not only us agents, but even those two Olympian gods and the three Sumerian gods were all manipulated by him like playthings.
Your Highness Thor, this Myles is absolutely a rare talent in prophecy arts!"
