Wait till all this is over.
Oscar and Maggie left quietly.
The Cat God was distracted by Philip's death and did not speak to Chen Lun. Seeing this, the latter gave up the idea of talking to him and felt a little apologetic.
After all, no matter what, Philip was his teacher and friend. Now she died in his own hands. Be it fate or regret, it was a fact.
This starry sky area in the dream world is still vast and magnificent.
But Chen Lun had no intention of lingering. He dragged his exhausted body across the door of sleep and returned to the world... Perhaps it was because of the dryness of spiritual and physical strength, or because he had just received the huge amount of information revealed by His Majesty Oscar, his mind and attention were more tired than ever before, so that during this process, he did not notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at him until he completely left.
Royal city.
In front of the arched gate of the Kangkai Church area.
A gentleman in a black hat suddenly appeared, holding a silver cane with a bumpy surface, and walked in slowly.
Chen Lun glanced down slightly and sighed.
This "old friend" that had been with him since Amber City was damaged in the battle with Howard... He felt a little regretful, after all, he used this weapon very well.
'It was originally only a C-class Astrological Gift, but after being tempered by Arnold, it was upgraded to a B-class Galaxy Anthem... But even so, it obviously couldn't withstand the fierce attack of a high-ranking angel, and its mission has come to an end.'
Chen Lun's fingers slowly brushed across the crank of the cane, which seemed to sense the emotion and trembled slightly.
"Um?"
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Because the silver cane actually transmitted a message intermittently, which roughly meant that dying at the hands of the original owner was a good destination.
Chen Lun suddenly realized.
'It seems so... I originally acquired it from a 'gentleman' of the mysterious gathering in Amber City, but in fact, it is part of Philip's legacy.'
He shook his head with emotion.
Logically speaking, only A-level and above monsters have the ability to communicate with humans... Now that Xinghe Zaoxiang has delivered a message for the first time, he is surprised and regretful at the same time.
“You’re back!”
A ethereal voice filled with joy was heard.
Chen Lun knew without even looking that it was Flo Yin who had been waiting here. He strode forward and naturally embraced the girl in the black dress standing by the garden path.
"Yeah, I'm back."
Chen Lun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly.
Flo Yin didn't say anything else, but she wrapped her small hands tightly around the man's waist, closed her eyes, and leaned against his chest, quietly feeling his body temperature and heartbeat.
She was afraid that she would never see him again, never be able to touch this man who haunted her dreams again... Fortunately, he came back, which also meant that everything was over.
A melodious and romantic harmonica tune floats into the ears.
The two of them hugging each other in the garden was particularly appropriate.
But Chen Lun suddenly thought of something and turned to look to the side, only to see Alex leaning against a tree, posing in a casual manner, playing a tune.
After a moment.
Alex put down his harmonica, yawned, waved his hands lazily, saluted the two of them in an exaggerated manner, and finally turned and left.
Chen Lun looked at his back and shook his head helplessly.
Now that he knew Alex's true identity, his original doubts were resolved... But now he had a new worry, which was how to get along with him.
After a little thought, Chen Lun made up his mind.
"Well... the lesson must be taught. I am the leader and I have the final say. His Majesty Oscar should not care about these small details."
Alex was walking away when he felt a chill for some reason and sneezed loudly.
"It must be because I got sick from sleeping on the lawn. Damn it, I should go find Dr. Maggie to get some medicine. It would be embarrassing if I get a runny nose while dating a noble lady..."
Then he ran away cursing.

When Chen Lun returned to the residential area, the circus cadres were still unaware that their leader had just experienced a life-and-death battle.
When they saw the gentleman in the black hat, they smiled and saluted respectfully.
Fuluo Yin took Chen Lun's arm and came to the stairs leading to the second floor in the living room, and said gently:
"You go upstairs and rest first. I'll make a sumptuous dinner."
"Thanks."
Chen Lun smiled and nodded.
Flo Yin then stood on tiptoe, pecked him lightly on the cheek, and then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Chen Lun's originally tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment. After letting out a long breath, he slowly went upstairs and returned to his room.
But he did not rest, but took out the spoils he had obtained... the black cane, the cowhide notebook and the two bookmarks sandwiched inside.
When Chen Lun just put down the silver cane in his hand, it seemed to be unable to hold on. With a click, cracks appeared all over it, and it immediately shattered into star-like points, leaving only five silver balls on the table.
Chen Lun sighed, put away the decomposed mid-sequence star matter, and then picked up Howard's rusty black cane.
He suddenly realized something and raised his eyebrows. With a little activation of the power of myth, the black cane shrank in an instant and turned into a black ring!
A-level Trickster-Balag Ring (Incomplete)
Item description: An item that contains conspiracy power, looks like a rusty ring, and the inner ring is covered with hideous and interlaced patterns. It is suspected to come from a conspiracy saint who is keen on provoking wars and killings... The fall of the former Anlong United Kingdom, Cardan Territory and Buturia Territory may be related to it.
"Everyone has a desire for destruction in their heart. I just provided a little help..."
Item effect: After use, you will be forced to hold a weapon evolved from the subconscious of killing, which is indestructible and unstoppable.
Item cost: Once used, it cannot be removed at will, and the battle ends with death. To remove it by force, you need to pass the willpower judgment (willpower not less than 50 points). Or consume a lot of sanity before you can remove the weapon (not less than 100 sanity points, depending on the time of use).
'It's the same set as the Balaguer necklace? No wonder both have the 'incomplete' mark...'
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
He removed the necklace from around his neck and placed the two together.
Check...
I saw iron wires growing out of the necklace and the ring at the same time, entangled with each other. Soon, a rusty iron crown appeared in Chen Lun's eyes.
He picked up the Iron Crown with interest, and a prompt popped up on the panel—
Super A-level Trickster-Balag Crown
Item description: An item with conspiracy power, it looks like a rusty iron crown, and the traces of time seem to tell the past. It comes from a framed king. When the king accumulated enough power, he tried to return to his kingdom with chaos and killing, but it ended regretfully.
"One day we will reach the end. I shouldn't be in such a hurry..."
Item Effect: After use, it will be replaced by the killing subconscious, and evolve into a set of armaments (including weapons and armor), stimulate deep fighting instincts and desires, lose the sense of pain, and enhance strength, agility and endurance (the increase is 30% of the original attributes).
Item cost: Once used, it cannot be removed at will, and the battle ends with death. To remove it by force, you need to pass the willpower judgment (willpower not less than 80 points). Or consume a lot of sanity before you can remove the weapon (not less than 200 sanity points, depending on the time of use).
"Thirty percent?!"
Chen Lun's eyes widened.
When these two incomplete A-grade monsters were combined into one, they not only became super A-grade, but their effects and properties were also integrated and improved.
'The bonus to the three basic attributes of strength, dexterity and endurance, for me now, is an increase of more than 100 attribute points each... As long as I activate the Iron Crown, my overall strength will rise to a higher level!'
He stroked the rough, rusty crown, his heart filled with excitement. Taking a deep breath, Chen Lun held it in both hands and slowly put it on his head.
Buzz!
A strong murderous intent burst out from his heart.
Chen Lun's eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot.
Fortunately, the full-level blessing bestowed by the King of Slaughter made him bloodthirsty, which gave him strong control over his own murderous intent, and he quickly suppressed the erosion of the Iron Crown.
Hiss!
The iron wire spread and instantly turned into a gray and dark robe, which was draped over Chen Lun's shoulders. It was like a cloak or a cape, swaying in the wind and making rustling sounds.
At the same time, a gray-white scepter appeared in his hand, with a jade-like dragon head inlaid with gold on the top, and a pointed tail in the shape of white jade at the end.
"Huh..."
Chen Lun's eyes were filled with green at some point, and an indescribable satisfaction was revealed in his calm expression.
He could clearly feel that the power contained in himself at this moment was particularly terrifying... If he fought with Houston again, even if he did not enter the form of a mythical creature, he was confident that he could end the battle within a minute.
"Remove it."
After Chen Lun finished the test, he gave the Iron Crown the supreme command. However, the Beyond Grade A monster on his head seemed a little unruly and did not obey his wishes. It remained armed and even kept eroding the heart of his host, arousing the surging desire to kill.
"Heh..."
Chen Lun smiled, but his eyes looked cold.
With a willpower of 103 points, he completely ignored the murderous erosion of the Iron Crown. Instead, he raised his hand easily and grasped it.
The palm was covered with white crystal scales at some point, just like wearing white gloves. At the fingertips, there was an invisible but terrifying silk thread that could fall on the crown at any time.
At this moment, the iron crown trembled violently, and then slowly retracted the spreading iron wire, and Chen Lun's gray cloak and scepter also disappeared.
At the same time, Chen Lun also received a message.
The general meaning is that you are very good, I admire you very much, and you are barely worthy of me.
