"I accidentally obtained a mysterious bracelet. That bracelet allows me to gain limited astral travel abilities within the Spirit World.

"However, ever since I started using the bracelet, I hear whispers every full moon. Those whispers cause me to almost lose control, especially during the Red Moon..."

Fors briefly recounted her situation after making some simple modifications.

Aside from concealing her identity and how she acquired the bracelet, she did not lie about anything else.

"So, you are seeking my help to resolve the full moon whispers issue?"

George asked with a smile.

Fors quickly nodded:

"I can give you whatever you need. If I don't have it, I will slowly figure out a way to get it."

If she didn't solve this problem soon, she would eventually lose control due to the whispers and turn into a monster, and she felt that day was drawing near.

George smiled:

"The ability to utilize Spirit World travel, and the full moon whispers—I probably know the reason now."

"You know!"

Fors immediately sat up straight.

Curiosity also appeared in the eyes of the others.

"Your bracelet must have been tainted by some Beyonder Characteristics from the Door Pathway. The Angel of King for the Door Pathway is named Bethel Abraham.

"This Angel of King, who is close to a true deity, was exiled to the moon during the time of the Four Emperors and has constantly been trying to find a way back to this world.

"Those whispers must be caused by him."

George speculated based on the contents of Roselle's diary.

"It's not a big problem; I will help you solve it.

"As for compensation, while solving your problem, I will acquire it from Bethel Abraham himself.

"Come find me at this address tonight at twelve o'clock."

He told Fors his home address.

Upon hearing this, joy surfaced on Fors's face. She never expected that a problem that had plagued her for so long would be so easily resolved in front of Mr. Power.

Meanwhile, Audrey, Alger, and the others once again refreshed their understanding of Mr. Power's strength.

They had originally thought Mr. Power was likely Sequence 4, Sequence 3 at most. They never expected him to be able to communicate with the legendary Angel of King to solve a problem.

Crucially, judging by Mr. Power's tone, he didn't seem to regard the Angel of King with particularly high importance.

Could it be that Mr. Power is an Angel of Sequence 2 or Sequence 1?

"Oh, and continue helping me look for clues regarding cultists. Preferably cultists who are Demigods or higher, or some history from the Fourth Epoch would also be acceptable."

Finally, George re-emphasized his mission, primarily directing it towards the newly joined Xio and Fors.

These two frequently attend trade fairs for wild Beyonders, giving them a high chance of encountering powerful cultists.

Just like the previous Mr. A, Audrey's information mainly came from these two.

In his view, if the Aurora Order had any schemes in Backlund, and Mr. A died, they would surely send some Mr. B, C, or D to take over.

Given their style of operation, they might still masquerade as wild Beyonders, organizing trade fairs to conceal their identities and gather information.

After the Tarot Gathering ended, George stayed behind to chat with Klein alone for a while.

Klein had already advanced to Sequence 7 Magician. Leonard, the member of the Nighthawks team who might be possessed by an Angel, had also advanced to Sequence 7 Nightmare.

Both of them would be transferred to the Backlund district in another month.

Meanwhile, Dunn, the captain of the Nighthawks, having obtained the Acting Method, successfully advanced to Sequence 6 Sleepless. However, he chose not to transfer to Backlund and remained in Tingen.

At midnight, twelve o'clock, George sensed Fors arriving downstairs. With a flash of flame, he teleported over.

"Good evening, Miss Magician!"

"Good evening, Mr. Power!"

Fors, wearing a beige high-collared dress and with long, slightly curly brown hair, respectfully saluted George, who had suddenly appeared floating in mid-air.

She dared not show the slightest negligence towards Mr. Power, an existence at the Angel level.

"No need to be so formal, I am very easygoing."

George turned into a ball of fire, bringing Fors with him, and arrived at the outskirts far from Backlund:

"There might be some commotion during the communication shortly. It's inconvenient in the city."

The city was filled with experts from the three major Churches. If a conflict were to occur with Mr. Door, massive energy fluctuations would be inevitable.

Fors quickly nodded and handed the bracelet with the blue stone to George.

George took the bracelet and began divining to locate the source, based on the Beyonder Characteristics within the bracelet and the hidden mark in Fors's spiritual energy.

Closing his eyes, a serious-looking middle-aged man with scattered white hair appeared in his senses.

The middle-aged man clearly detected George's divination. He calmly focused his gaze and greeted George in a gentle tone:

"Hello, friend!"

"Bethel Abraham?"

George raised an eyebrow and inquired.

His powerful spiritual strength had already sensed that the middle-aged man's calmness and gentleness were a facade; behind them lurked madness and distortion.

"You know me? I actually prefer others to call me Mr. Door."

The middle-aged man's attitude remained gentle.

"I am trapped in endless darkness. If you are willing to save me, I promise to help you fulfill three wishes."

"How do I save you?"

George asked with a smile, choosing not to expose the other party immediately.

Mr. Door quickly recited a complex ritual.

"As long as you arrange the ritual according to my instructions, I can escape the darkness and return to the world."

"No problem."

George nodded.

Mr. Door was clearly stunned to see George agree so readily.

He had never expected George to agree to save him.

His objective in doing this was merely to use the pretense of returning as an excuse, then later find an opportunity to corrupt the other party. Just like how he had corrupted Emperor Roselle back then.

"However, the condition needs a slight change. I don't need you to help me fulfill three wishes."

George grinned:

"I want the Uniqueness of the Door Pathway within you, and those three sets of Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics of the Key of Stars."

The Door Pathway, the Seer Pathway, and the Error Pathway are adjacent pathways; they can be switched between and absorbed and merged.

If he advances to Sequence 0 of the Seer Pathway, the next step would be to devour the Uniqueness and Sequence 1 Characteristics of the other two pathways.

According to the information he 'borrowed' from the True Creator, the Uniqueness of the Error Pathway is Amon, and Amon's current whereabouts are unclear to him.

He will have to wait until he converts the search spell, converts more spiritual energy, and advances to a high Sequence before tracking him.

The Uniqueness of the Door Pathway rests on Mr. Door himself.

"It seems you have a big appetite?"

After recovering his composure, Mr. Door pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded with a serious expression:

"Very well. As long as you can save me and help me return, I am willing to hand over the Uniqueness of the Door Pathway and the three sets of Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics of the Key of Stars."
