Chapter 104 How to Capture Antigonus

While Sasriel and the goddess of night exchanged pleasantries, Rosen was pondering matters concerning Antigonus.

Rosen's reason for asking the goddess of the night about Antigonus was certainly not simply to catch himself a pet—although he did really want one.

Who can resist a big dog?

Anyway, Rosen can't.

But Rosen's actions this time were mainly for Mr. Fool's sake—don't misunderstand, Rosen's intentions didn't refer to stealing the uniqueness and mysterious servant traits from Xiao An and letting Mr. Fool advance directly, but rather to getting these two things in advance and taking precautions to prevent them from helping Mr. Fool become a god in zero seconds because of the law of aggregation.

This is not impossible, because a very simple fact is that Mr. Fool's ascension to godhood was actually a foolish ritual. Zhou Mingrui, with Rosen's help, has not only fooled history, but has done something that even the Celestial Venerable himself could not do, truly changing history.

But can Zhou Mingrui become a god in his current state? Obviously not.

Although Xiao Zhou successfully overcame the challenge of transforming from a mortal into a mysterious servant, it doesn't mean he can overcome the challenge of becoming a god.

In fact, Zhou Mingrui is not in good condition right now. Under such circumstances, let alone rashly becoming a god, even just accepting the uniqueness of the Fool could cause his condition to become unbalanced, thus allowing the Celestial Venerable to turn the tables. Although he has the Celestial Venerable Badge, even if the Celestial Venerable turns the tables temporarily, it is not impossible for little Zhou to win back in the future, but why bother?

The world isn't going to be invaded by an alien god tomorrow. Mr. Fool's most urgent task right now is to adjust his state of mind, rather than risk a mishap by trying to save a little unnecessary time.

This is why, even though he had the Fool, a powerful tool related to attracting the three types of people, Rosen still needed to inquire about Xiao An's whereabouts from the Goddess of the Night. He couldn't risk making Zhou Mingrui an instant god by having him actively attract the Fool's uniqueness or the Mysterious Servant's traits.

What's the difference between this and courting death?

If Mr. Fool were to actually stumble over something like this, even the Heavenly Venerable would laugh himself to death.

"But even if we can't accommodate them now, at least we must keep the uniqueness of the Fool in our hands. It would be even better if we could make them into tools to use," Rosen thought to himself.

Uniqueness, if it falls into the hands of a normal sequence of events, is actually a tricky thing if it cannot be contained. For details, you can refer to Will and the uniqueness of fate in the original work. It is something that you can't throw away, but you can't contain. You also have to prevent being suppressed by uniqueness.

However, this matter might be a little different for Mr. Fool. After all, Mr. Fool has already contained the Source Castle, and the Source Castle's status is even higher than that of Fool's Uniqueness. Based on this, even if Zhou Mingrui cannot contain Fool's Uniqueness now, he can most likely use it by taking advantage of the Source Castle's suppression.

Therefore, Antigonus and Rosen were absolutely necessary to capture.

But how to catch it is another problem.

"Although we have a general location, Xiao An is probably still terrified by the Goddess of Night, so she's really hard to find." Rosen rubbed his chin. The reason the Gou family is called the Gou family is because they are really good at hiding. Under normal circumstances, it's really hard to find them.

In particular, Antigonus also has a sister who travels through the night, the Hidden Servant, who is also a master of hide-and-seek.

"Even with my ability to take over, I probably couldn't directly occupy the position unless I had a more specific medium." Rosen thought to himself, his gaze slowly falling on Medici opposite him, and then he had an idea.

Perhaps it's time for him to embark on another journey into the Fourth Age!

Antigonus of the Third Age was hard to find, but Half-Fool of the Fourth Age was much easier to find. Although Half-Fool was not easy to catch, Rosen did not need to catch him; he only needed to obtain the means of occupation from him.

Moreover, he went in a hurry last time and didn't even recognize all four famous emperors!

"What strange idea have you come up with this time?" Medici shook the pomegranate juice in his hand, looked up at Rosen, his posture lazy yet wary.

It's no wonder Medici acted this way; those mischievous kids have just too many ideas. If we're not careful, he might be the next one to suffer.

Medici is still young and doesn't really want to die in public.

"I was just thinking about whether I should invite Xiao Hong to go on a trip with me," Rosen said with a smile, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Not just anyone can travel through time with Rosen. In fact, Rosen can only take people who are directly related to the key with him. For example, Medici was the key in the Fourth Age, and Zhou Mingrui was the key in the Fifth Age.

Medici paused, his hand holding the cup still. He understood what the "travel" referred to. After a moment's thought, the Red Angel smirked, shifted his posture, and crossed his legs, saying, "To catch your pet?"

"Yes!" Rosen nodded without hesitation, smiling as he said, "After all, I really want to raise a large, furry one."

"Tsk! What a perverse sense of humor!" Medici shook his head, but judging from his expression, he clearly had no sympathy for the demon wolf that was about to become his pet. He simply asked, "When?"

"Tomorrow?" Rosen pondered for a moment, stroking his chin, and then asked.

"Perhaps you need my help packing?" Sasriel suddenly spoke up, smiling at the two of them and saying gently, "We were in too much of a rush last time and didn't have time to pack, but since we're not in a hurry this time, it's better to prepare some items you'll need while traveling."

"Okay, okay! Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Father!" Rosen nodded repeatedly. He didn't care whether Sasliel had any other plans, such as sending a letter to the True Creator or something. Anyway, it was a good thing for him to have someone help him pack his luggage.

"If you are planning to search for Antigonus in the area where he is, perhaps I can be of assistance."

The goddess of night, who had been listening in, smiled and spoke. She was not very clear about time travel; the sun god had not yet shared information with her to this extent.

But instinctively, the Goddess of Night felt that something was amiss in this seemingly ordinary conversation.

"No need, we can handle this ourselves, so there's no need to trouble you, madam," Rosen waved his hand, smiling but refusing without leaving any room for negotiation.

The Goddess of the Night smiled upon hearing this, clearly intending to say something, but Rosen spoke first: "I've heard that you founded a church yourself, and Klein has been busy with his own church lately. Perhaps you could offer him some advice?"
