Chapter 396 The Frustrated Einhorn
With Thudor's meeting with Adam, a conspiracy quietly began to unfold.
First, the conflict between Tudor and Trensost intensified. Although the Seven Gods, including the Hermit, did not express a clear stance, their ambiguous position only exacerbated the internal chaos, which in turn made it easier for the conflict to escalate.
This is a very opportune time for ambitious people and schemers.
The conflict between the Antigonus and Zarathustra families intensified, though it did not occur openly.
The conflict between the Jacob family, the Ammon family, and the Zoroaster family intensifies. Although it does not occur openly, the Jacob family, which already feels a sense of crisis, has planted a treasure, or rather a trap, in Backlund. Conceptually, the two are not contradictory.
The Black Emperor, the paradoxical family of the Judgement path, Tamara has lost an angel, and one of the remaining angels of Solomon has also fallen.
The contradictions of the Red Sacrifice path intensified as the dynamic environment shifted. Medici had long wanted to collect the remaining two traits and complete the ascension ritual. He had already done it many times before, following the Grand Slam of the Ancient Sun God, participating in the God-Slaying War to Redeem the Rose, and unifying the Northern Continent with Solomon's power in the Black Emperor's camp.
These were all major, impactful wars that swept across an entire continent.
No one has ever said that the Red Priest must be a king, and cannot be a general or a vassal who makes a name for himself.
Medici faced almost no obstacles in becoming a god, but he was just unlucky enough to not become one. People who didn't know better might think that Urolius had sucked away Medici's good luck.
Throughout the entire Glorious Era, spanning over a thousand years, they couldn't gather the remaining two traits. By the Fourth Age, Sauron and Iinhorn had become attached to the White Emperor. After the White Emperor stepped down, these two naturally cooperated with the White Emperor's administrative secretary, Tudor. The two archangels also had a tacit understanding, and Medici didn't find an opportunity.
Now that Tudor and Trenshorst's relationship is in turmoil, the opportunity has arrived. Although Soren and Einhorn have no personal grudges, they are both women, and their desire to kill each other is almost written on their faces. They have no hatred but grudges. They are both saying, "Don't worry about dying. As long as you die, I will take care of your family."
Einhorn had to be more careful, since she joined Shael later. Although Shael had been fair during that time, even though he was closer to Soren, he had never targeted her and had been lenient in protecting and defending her when necessary.
But Einhorn also knew that this was just his former boss's personality; he would protect her when he wanted to, and he would also sell her out when he wanted to. There was no need for it before, but if it came to a point where it was necessary, the other party would definitely push Sauron instead of him.
But if she eliminates Sauron, then her former boss can only push for her own downfall. As long as she doesn't implicate the entire Sauron family, her former boss won't care about internal competition.
Therefore, Einhorn was more proactive than Soren in responding to Tudor's repeated private attempts to meet with her, because she was more eager than Soren.
With Tudor now facing increased competition from Trenshorst, it's reasonable for him to be courting allies. Faced with yet another request, Einhorn didn't think much of it and treated it as just another normal meeting.
Then... she was knocked unconscious.
"Fuck you! You bitch!"
On her deathbed, Einhorn lay on the ground, staring at Tudor, who had "taken her heart," and wished she could get up from the ground and be with him.
"I'm just trying to survive."
"For the sake of our friendship, I will not harm the Einhorn family."
Alistair Tudor crouched down, reached out, and closed her best friend's eyes. At the same time, the twisted power activated, and "closing eyes" was also twisted into "death."
His gaze seemed to hold a hint of pity, after all, she and Einhorn had a good personal relationship, but that was quickly replaced by determination and madness. "They're both women," he thought, "Einhorn will understand her."
Tudor left, and Antigonus followed, thus settling the debt Antigonus owed Tudor.
When Xiaer appeared here, he looked at Einhorn's corpse on the ground. It was basically hopeless. Tudor was Tudor after all, and he certainly wouldn't give Einhorn a chance to get up and fight him.
"Wake up."
As if summoning a spirit, Xia Er gently shook a copper bell.
The fragments of spirit, spiritual power, and some remaining extraordinary characteristics of the corpse on the ground flew into the bronze bell under the influence of the bell's sound.
He rang the bell again, and a phantom male figure appeared—it was Einhorn.
Shaeldo shook slightly, and the feminine power attached itself to it. Einhorn's projection turned into a woman again. This was the first time He had seen Einhorn's appearance before the sex change.
After Einhorn's mental projection regained some consciousness, its first thought wasn't gratitude, but rather a frustrated and unacceptable "question"—"You actually chose that %————*?!"
Xia Er plugged his ears slightly. He seemed to understand what Einhorn meant, and felt a little melancholy that his reputation had been damaged.
Einhorn was extremely frustrated. He recalled the words he had used to mock Sauron, which felt like boomerangs hitting him. Back when he was under the White Emperor, in Einhorn's eyes, the only difference between him and Sauron was that Sauron had been intimate with Shael before he became a demigod and transformed into a male.
Initially, this was considered an important factor in determining intimacy levels.
However, Einhorn later discovered that the White Emperor did not treat him and Sauron differently because of this, and was still considered fair, so he breathed a sigh of relief and even mocked Sauron in private.
She remained cautious until she and Sauron were competing to advance to Sequence 1 Conquerors. Shael did not take action against her, freeing up resources for Sauron. Only then did she abandon her long-held idea of defection and come to appreciate her leader.
Since this leader is relatively fair, there's no need to worry. Whether she kills Sauron or Sauron kills her, it's considered internal competition. If Medici is killed later, the leader certainly won't hesitate to give them a push.
After all, the Elf Queen, who won without lifting a finger, and the Goddess of Luck, who became the King of Angels, are both examples of elves who rose from godhood.
And what was the result? And what was the result?
While she and Sauron were scheming and competing internally, how could you tacitly allow that bastard Thudor to devour me? On what grounds? Just because she's a woman? What good is that?
Even at the Red Sacrifice ceremony, isn't it still the men who go? What happened to our unspoken agreement? Shouldn't the meat stay in the pot?
I don't care which of us you side with, but how could you side with her?!
How could you do this!
Einhorn's mental projection floated over and placed her hands on Shael's shoulders. She was clearly deeply hurt by the betrayal. She had genuinely regarded Shael as her boss before, and even after switching her allegiance to Tudor, she still had a very good impression of Shael and considered him one of her own.
So being betrayed and abandoned by both her "best friend" and "boss," and being the first to be eliminated before she could even begin her scheming plan, made Einhorn feel really frustrated.
