Chapter 1350 Wish
Adam turned "His" head and looked at Klein. "His" limpid, light-colored eyes reflected the face that was stained with blood.
"His" expression remained unchanged, and there was a hint of pity in its warmth. It was as if a god was looking down upon the world.
Klein smiled at "Him" as his head cracked apart.
This trend on his body caused him to collapse into a pool of blood.
In the pool of blood were his clothing, the blood-soaked stake, and an ancient mirror.
In the corpse cathedral, in the divine kingdom of Visionary Adam, Klein had died a strange death.
Adam, dressed in a simple white robe, looked at the scene before "Him" with gentleness and calmness. It was unknown if "He" had expected it or if "He" had avoided having any emotions.
In the ancient palace above the fog.
That crazy maggot vortex instantly stopped as they broke apart into numerous frozen, dead Worms of Spirit.
In the next second, these Worms of Spirit turned illusory as they became stained with grayish-white as though they had fused into the fog of history.
Then, they came back to life. As they shimmered with a dark glow, they gathered together.
In just a few seconds, the Worms of Spirit reassembled into a figure. It was Klein Moretti, who had black hair, brown eyes, and a formal suit.
With the return of the owner of Sefirah Castle, the destroyed mottled table and the twenty-two high-back chairs rapidly restored to normal. The junk scattered all over the floor was piled up again.
Klein picked up the Staff of the Stars embedded with various gems and sat on the seat belonging to The Fool.
The entire space above the gray fog quaked as boundless and mighty invisible forces surged out.
Klein immediately nodded at the golden figure that occupied Bernadette's prayer.
"I will fulfill my promise."
Genie laughed and said, "It looks like you haven't inherited 'His' cunningness and shamelessness. Very good."
As soon as "He" said that, the blurry and distorted golden figure rapidly receded, no longer projecting itself on Bernadette's prayer light.
"Well done." As Klein separated a Worm of Spirit to respond to Queen Mystic's prayers, he lowered his head and made a wish to himself. "I wish to be restored to how I was like before tonight."
When his main body died, he had only taken away the core portion of the Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic, leaving behind the remains in Adam's corpse cathedral. He was unable to retrieve them.
Of course, Klein still had a large portion of the characteristics in the Worms of Spirit in his body above the gray fog and the remaining marionettes in Utopia. Zaratul didn't need any additional Beyonder characteristics, nor did "He" want them to end up affecting "His" condition. Therefore, "He" didn't directly use the law of convergence of Beyonder characteristics to suck all the characteristics of the same pathway in Utopia. "He" collected them using a different method which was relatively slow and would require a certain amount of time.
After making this wish, Klein summoned the "curtain," draped it behind him, and snapped his fingers.
Inside the junk pile, the Seer pathway's Sequence 9 and 3 Beyonder characteristics that were separated from the "curtain" previously floated up at the same time, transforming into pure light dots that drilled into Klein's body.
His condition instantly returned to the time when he was almost done digesting the Miracle Invoker potion. Apart from the lack of a physical body, he was no different from when he was attacked.
Right on the heels of that, Klein cast his gaze at Utopia, which was closely connected to him.
…
Inside Utopia, the hooded, black-robed Zaratul, whose face was covered in white whiskers, stood on the roof of Saint Arianna Cathedral. Beside him were Roselle Gustav's, William Augustus's, and Abomination Suah's historical projection. "They" patiently waited for the door to the corpse cathedral to open and for Gehrman Sparrow to walk out.
He controlled some of "His" marionettes, dealing with a few of the mutated Utopian marionettes, leaving the remaining portion of marionettes which remained normal to the end.
At that moment, dense, illusory Spirit Body Threads suddenly floated up from the rigid Utopian marionettes into an infinitely high height away.
They instantly came to life and turned around, looking at Zaratul and "His" historical projections.
The pairs of eyes sparkled in the darkness.
At the same time, a huge shadow descended from the faint grayish-white fog, enveloping the entirety of Utopia.
Zaratul and "His" historical projections instinctively raised "Their" heads and looked up at the sky that suffused a faint gray fog.
"Sealing is prohibited here." In the next second, William Augustine's historical projection raised the sword in "His" right hand and solemnly made an announcement.
The shadow that enveloped Utopia immediately shook as many gaps appeared. It was unable to completely isolate the marionette town from the outside world.
Roselle Gustav's historical projection immediately transformed into a torrent of information that surged towards Klein's remaining marionettes in an attempt to interfere with their movements. As for the historical projection of Abomination Suah, it attacked the shadow that appeared like a curtain in a bid to expand the corresponding gaps.
Zaratul extended "His" hand and "Grafted" the void in front of "Him" to another island in the Berserk Sea that "He" had previously fixed.
Following that, as long as "He" took a step forward, "He" would be able to leave Utopia.
At that moment, Klein's marionettes snatched the opportunity before the torrent of information entered their Spirit Bodies. At the same time, they opened their mouths and chanted in Jotun, "Leodero!"
In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, with the remnant divine powers of a Tyrant, Klein could directly trigger the power of a deity based on this name alone, but that wasn't the case in the outside world. As for whether or not "He" wanted to punish the fellow for calling out "His" true name, it was decided by the Lord of Storms.
Klein had his marionettes recite the honorific name at the same time only to get the Lord of Storms to cast "His" gaze over.
As one of the members of the five pathways of Omnipotence and Omniscience, the Lord of Storms was probably one of the true deities that didn't wish for Adam's plot to succeed. If Amon became the Lord of the Mysteries, the King of Space-Time, this Tyrant would be in a very dangerous situation. "He" would have to constantly worry that the son of the Creator would deal with "Him" and help Adam or the True Creator to ascend to the position of the Lord of the Astral World.
Therefore, compared to the Evernight Goddess and Earth Mother, Lord of Storms, Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom were probably the existences who didn't wish to see Adam and Amon succeed.
If there was a chance, Klein planned on getting his marionettes to continue shouting "Aucuses" and "Herabergen"!
Utopia's surroundings instantly turned gloomy, as if it contained the indescribable wrath of nature.
Before Zaratul could take that step, the night sky instantly produced different colors of lightning. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they wantonly expanded. They seemed to envelop the entire sky in a sea of lightning.
Boom! Boom! Before the deafening sounds could be heard, the lightning blasted like a torrential rain at Utopia.
…
The Rorsted Archipelago, New City of Silver, the top of the spire.
Derrick Berg, who was looking at the source of the earthquake, heard the sound of doors and windows opening at the same time. Furthermore, it repeated thousands of times.
Although it didn't bring him any direct danger, the bizarre change still made Derrick very wary.
With some hesitation, he prepared to seek out the current Chief, Waite Chirmont, and suggest using the god-level Sealed Artifact, Proof of Glory. He wanted to first protect the New City of Silver and the nearby New Moon City. Then, he decided to pray to Mr. Fool based on the progress of the anomaly.
Just as he turned around and walked to the door, Waite Chirmont, who had a dark-blue symbol engraved on his head, walked out from the corridor's light. He said in a deep voice, "The seal underground has failed."
The seal has failed… Derrick instinctively believed that it had something to do with the anomaly in Blue Mountain Island.
Compared to doors and windows opening, the consequences of the seal's failure were extremely terrifying!
"Immediately use the Proof of Glory!" Derrick said without hesitation.
This was a god-level Sealed Artifact that could be used for a short period of time. It had once helped the City of Silver avert repeated disasters in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, allowing them to persist until the present era and obtain salvation.
Derrick's thoughts were very clear. He was using the Proof of Glory to suppress the other god-level Sealed Artifact—Gift of the Land. The suppression effect would soon affect the saint-level Sealed Artifacts that would have negative effects on the surroundings.
Waite Chirmont didn't say anything else. He immediately made up his mind and brought Derrick underground using the light as concealment.
Proof of Glory required at least two saints before it could be utilized. This was also the reason why Waite Chirmont didn't immediately head underground and came to find Derrick first. Of course, if he wanted to make use of it simply, there were tricks to do so, but he had to be prepared in advance to brand the corresponding mark on his body.
…
Bayam, Cathedral of Waves.
A bolt of lightning shot into Alger Wilson's room, turning into a hurried voice.
"Your Eminence, most of the underground seals have failed! Only certain items remain in a balanced state thanks to their effects!"
Alger's brows twitched as he combined it with the phenomena of opening doors and windows in Bayam City happening at the same time. He sensed that something was amiss.
He immediately said to the void, "All of you immediately form groups of three. Take out the Grade 2 and 3 Sealed Artifacts that won't cause immediate danger, or those with living characteristics from underground to prevent any chain reactions."
This way, the underground area would become uninhabited. The dangerous Sealed Artifacts wouldn't be able to cause casualties within a short period of time.
With the passage of time, when the anomaly of the seals losing their effects passed, the Mandated Punishers would have the time to deal with the items.
However, the premise was that they hadn't lost control of the three Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts.
Once there was a problem with them, the negative effects would soon affect the entirety of Bayam.
However, with the seal no longer working, it was very difficult for the three items to remain without problems.
The first thought that flashed through Alger's mind was to bring along the one whose negative effects had the greatest range. Then, using his own powers to make temporary restrictions, he would fly to the sea and away from Bayam.
This wasn't too dangerous for him for a short period of time. After all, he was a demigod. The biggest problem was that the remaining two Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts would undoubtedly cause serious damage to Bayam.
At least I did my best… Alger felt that this method was safe and could handle the subsequent investigations from the Church of the Lord of Storms. It was pretty good.
His gaze subconsciously looked out of the window. It corresponded to the few schools and the workhouses near the cathedral.
Alger retracted his gaze and fell silent for two seconds before sighing. He continued, "Leave the rest to me."
His words transformed into electric waves that transformed into silver lightning that flew underground.
Chapter 1351 Seizing The Opportunity
While transmitting information to the Mandated Punishers, Alger quickly came up with a plan in his mind:
He was to immediately pray to the Lord of Storms, hoping to obtain the Lord's blessings or help. Then, he would immediately rush underground and use his Beyonder powers to forcefully suppress the three Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts inside Azure Gate.
During this process, if the Lord of Storms responded to his prayers, or if the abnormality regarding the seal's ended in time, there was naturally no need for him to consider any other response. However, if neither of the two outcomes occurred, and he began to find it difficult to handle the situation, then he would seek Mr. Fool's help.
To Alger, once he had to do so, no matter what method he used or how he concealed it, it would be difficult for him to escape the fate of being suspected. After all, it was unbelievable for a single person to suppress three Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts single-handedly.
When the time came, his only option was to immediately abandon his post after the abnormality ended or the seal began working again. His departure would waste all his years of diligence and hard work, causing him to lose his post as cardinal which he had painstakingly obtained.
However, compared to his own life, this was a price he was willing to pay.
As for the consequences resulting in him almost not having any chance of obtaining the Book of Calamity, Alger didn't care about it at the moment. He was still a great distance from considering such problems. Of course, as a demigod of the Church of Storms and a cardinal, he believed that he was definitely under the watch of the Lord of Storms. After abandoning his job and escaping, he needed the protection of other existences to survive. Otherwise, his outcome would be unimaginable.
And regarding this matter, he could only rely on Mr. Fool.
Taking a deep breath, Alger quickly chanted.
"The King ruling over the Skies, the Emperor who controls the Seas, the Great God of Storms, I pray for your watch and pray for your blessings."
After chanting, Alger reached out with his hand, bringing with him a hurricane as he flew underground.
About ten seconds later, outside the Cathedral of Waves, there was a tidal wave that surged into the air.
The blue sea water poured down, enveloping the cathedral in a thick barrier.
Inside the barrier, silver bolts of lightning flashed as they drilled underground.
…
Rumble!
The lightning struck down like torrential rain, illuminating all of Utopia, illuminating more than half of the Berserk Sea.
At that moment, a pitch-black cathedral with many embedded skulls appeared in midair.
It was situated above Zaratul, and drew all the surrounding lightning towards it, causing bolts of lightning to snake across the countless white skulls, causing the stained glass to reflect a bright light.
Rumble!
In the places Adam's corpse cathedral couldn't shelter, Zaratul's marionettes, Abomination Suah's historical projection, as well as Klein's marionettes, were instantly obliterated by the tempestuous lightning. Then, they either vanished or were reduced to tiny marks.
Even Roselle Gustav's historical projection that had turned into a flux of information wasn't spared. A strong electromagnetic hurricane wreaked havoc in this city, destroying all information structures.
Taking advantage of the moment the Visionary was fending off the Tyrant, Zaratul took a step forward and entered the void ahead.
And this void was connected to another island—one "He" had previously set in the Berserk Sea—using "His" Beyonder powers of an Attendant of Mysteries. The distance between the two was reduced to zero.
The black-robed, hooded Zaratul quickly vanished into the void illuminated by lightning. But in the next second, "He" didn't appear on the distant island, but above the Irises Hotel in Utopia.
Just a moment ago, when Zaratul was stunned by the might of the storm, Klein, who was in Sefirah Castle, took the opportunity to use the "curtain" that was draped over his body and used the power of the sefirah to forcefully "Graft" the void in front of his target to the Irises Hotel. He had secretly changed Zaratul's key arrangement.
This was the suppression effect of a King of Angels against a Sequence 1 angel of the same pathway.
Rumble!
The ceaseless lightning smote down, enveloping Zaratul, who had long and white whiskers on "His" face.
Zaratul's pitch-black eyes didn't show any change in expression. "His" body rapidly faded and disappeared in the bolts of lightning.
"He" had only come in the form of a Historical Void projection.
"His" true body was hiding in a particular fragment in the fog of history.
Sitting in The Fool's chair, Klein immediately cast his gaze at the grayish-white fog below him, as well as the countless spots of light in the fog.
He was temporarily unable to find Zaratul because the latter definitely used a secret fragment of history that only "He" or a very small number of existences knew. However, being unable to find "Him" didn't mean that Klein could only watch and patiently wait until Zaratul reached "His" limits and was unable to stay in the fog of history. As the owner of Sefirah Castle and an existence with the level of a King of Angels, Klein's preliminary control of the sefirah was already enough to complete many things.
In the next second, Klein opened the box and summoned The Fool card, accommodating it inside his body.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into The Fool who wore colorful clothes and a gorgeous headdress. He exuded a deep, terrifying aura, as well as a somewhat ridiculous feeling. The entire Sefirah Castle began to shake gently.
Tak!
The Fool Klein held the end of the Staff of the Stars in his right hand and struck the edge of the long mottled table.
In the real world, grayish-white fog appeared, one that had a faintly-visible ancient palace situated high above.
In the ancient and majestic palace, a strange light formed from countless spherical lights quickly outlined itself, emitting an invisible and terrifying suction force.
The fog of history instantly boiled as Zaratul's figure quickly appeared in a spot where Klein hadn't lit up. "He" was hoisted up without being able to stop it.
Law of Beyonder characteristics convergence!
With the help of Sefirah Castle, Klein projected the convergence power of Beyonder characteristics into the fog of history!
At this moment, Zaratul's black-robed and hooded figure collapsed and became a pale paper figurine.
"His" true body appeared on another island in the Berserk Sea. "He" quickly used the Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder powers to connect the convergence inclination effect to various paper figurines.
Seizing the opportunity given to "Him" by the paper figurines, Zaratul quickly made a wish:
"I wish for my Beyonder characteristic to temporarily calm down."
Just as "He" finished speaking and pressed "His" palms together, "He" had already caught sight of "His" fulfilled wish. This allowed "Him" to escape the suction force from Sefirah Castle, The Fool card, and the Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic collective.
At the same time, "He" took a step back and accurately stepped on a milky-white rock.
The stone had long been connected to somewhere else by "Him," and had been solidified in some form.
As Zaratul stepped down, "His" figure instantly vanished. It was unknown where "He" had gone, but the stone seemed to experience extreme weathering as it disintegrated.
The Fool Klein cast his gaze down from an infinite height and scanned his surroundings, but he couldn't find Zaratul.
This meant that the other party had left his line of sight.
Without any hesitation, Klein immediately placed his focus on something else.
He had already made all the gems on the Staff of the Stars light up as he simulated the Marauder pathway's ability to deceive rules. He changed the location of his body's revival to a marionette that wasn't in Utopia.
Previously, a few residents of Utopia had gone to other cities for various reasons. By going there, they would further deepen their relationship with the real world. Klein had chosen a travel enthusiast. He was now in a particular mountain range.
As the second half of his "resurrection" was carried out, Klein took out The Fool card. He summoned the nine unique spirit world specialties he had prepared previously and placed them together with the "curtain."
Right on the heels of that, he used the Staff of the Stars to activate the power of Sefirah Castle and once again simulated the powers of the Marauder pathway's ability to deceive the rules, allowing the nine spirit world specialties and that "curtain" to "become" a part of his body.
In the next second, countless fragments of light appeared around the marionette that was halfway up the mountain.
And inside the marionette's body, a Worm of Spirit flew out. It kept fracturing and fused with the fragments of light.
Soon, the fragments of light condensed into a ball of light as it solidified into Klein's figure.
Just as Klein's figure finished outlining, he turned into transparent maggots that scattered in all directions, allowing the "curtain" and the nine spirit world specialties to drop to the ground.
Then, the Worms of Spirit completed the reassembly process, and part of them turned into a half top hat, a shirt, a vest, a formal suit, and trousers.
Klein didn't waste any time. He immediately grabbed the "curtain" and the specialties of the spirit world and began to carefully concoct the potion.
To him, this was the best time to advance to Attendant of Mysteries.
On the one hand, the effects of the ritual had been completed with the help of the Genie. This wouldn't last long, and it would gradually disappear. On the other hand, Adam, who was most likely to destroy his ritual, was being suppressed by the Lord of Storms and had no time to interfere.
If he were to consume the potion and advance to Sequence 1 at any other time, Klein was really worried that Visionary Adam would make use of the sea of collective subconscious to inject a negative emotion into him at a critical moment. That way, losing control was inevitable.
The reason why he had called Leodero wasn't to deal with Zaratul, but to hold back the true god, Adam!
During the Attendant of Mysteries ritual, there was no way to use the power of Sefirah Castle to produce a nascent form of a divine kingdom in advance, isolating Klein from the outside world. This would result in the ritual being unable to establish a connection with the corresponding region in the spirit world, resulting in failure.
In less than ten seconds, a potion that was as dark as the night sea appeared in Klein's palm. At the same time, the figure left in Sefirah Castle snapped his fingers, granting the small number of wishes accumulated in the prayer lights and the crimson stars, allowing him to digest the last bit of his Miracle Invoker potion.
The figure inside Sefirah Castle immediately faded away, allowing Klein's body to become complete so that he could consume the potion in his best condition.
As the lightning lit up the sea once again, Klein raised his right hand and brought the bottle that came from his marionette to his mouth. He gulped down the potion that was as light as air.
Chapter 1352 Attendant of Mysteries
As the Attendant of Mysteries potion entered his body, Klein immediately felt a burgeoning feeling.
In the blink of an eye, he lost his perception of his body and Worms of Spirit. He watched helplessly as they dissipated and fused into the spirit world that couldn't be described with ordinary words or common sense. It was as though he was about to disintegrate into abstract and random pieces of information.
At that moment, Klein only barely maintained his consciousness and had self-awareness.
Just like that, "he" floated in the spirit world filled with countless strange figures. After losing the ability to sense his body and Beyonder characteristics, he began to experience all kinds of thoughts, information, knowledge, symbols, and labels. He completely lost himself and was teetering on the border of fusing with the spirit world.
If this continued, Klein would definitely be completely lost, but at this moment, there was a connection between the spirit world and his consciousness.
That place corresponded to a town. The people inside lived ordinary lives. They had their own names, their stories, and their fates. They intertwined with each other, bringing about complete information in the spirit world, which was the concept of abstractness.
This town was eventually destroyed by a calamity and buried in the dust of history.
Klein dispersed like a mist, almost fusing into the spirit world's body. Under the guidance of fate, he fused with the spirit world projection of the different Utopian marionettes, allowing him to become corporeal again.
…
Bayam, deep underground in the Cathedral of Waves, in a room that was no longer sealed.
Alger extended his hands and pressed down on the door in front of him.
The surface of the door was blue in color, with numerous mysterious and odd reliefs protruding out.
It was ajar, and there was no light behind the door. It was unknown which world it was connected to.
The darkness seemed to have a life of its own. At this moment, a stream of water silently surged out, eroding the surrounding area.
Bang!
Alger's feet exerted strength, causing the ground to crack and spew out scarlet—nearly white—lava.
This was a "calamity" he had created. His goal was to prevent the darkness from advancing.
However, after the surging lava entered the darkness, it disappeared without a trace.
The darkness shrank back a little and paused for a second before continuing its corrosion.
Boom!
Alger continuously created hurricanes, torrential rain, and lightning calamities, blocking the darkness again and again.
He held the Azure Gate firmly with both hands, not letting it open further.
If he were to only face this Grade 1 Sealed Artifact, Alger would've been completely fine. He would even have the capacity to attempt sealing it, but at that moment, he still had two similarly dangerous items around him.
This forced him to sing loudly. He used the melody of death to influence his surroundings and disrupt the operations of the other Sealed Artifacts. Then, he built a wall formed from blue seawater beside him.
However, the wall was slowly being dyed grayish-white, as if it had been petrified.
Yet, the pandemonium didn't yield as it extended towards Alger's body.
I can last for at most thirty seconds. The Lord of Storms hasn't responded the entire time… Thoughts raced through Alger's mind as he suppressed his unwillingness and reluctance. He quickly made a decision.
Without any hesitation, he immediately accentuated a hexagonal crystalline snowflake on his palm.
This was the mark left behind after he participated in the Tarot Club for the first time. It could substitute the reciting of an honorific name, and allow Mr. Fool to cast "His" gaze over.
…
Blue Mountain Island, within the primitive forest.
At the Door of Flesh and Blood, spherical lights collapsed and converged in an attempt to undergo a qualitative change. They seemed to form a body consisting of a series of doors. The body wore the blood-colored tidal wave as its robe as its body constantly warped and changed, reflecting different regions and planets.
At this moment, a blinding ray of sunlight shone through the darkness. It descended from the astral world and melted everything it encountered along the way.
Other than this ray of sunlight, an inscrutable darkness of the night surged over, attempting to devour Mr. Door Bethel Abraham who was seeking to advance to Sequence 0.
The land where the altar was quaked violently, tearing open a huge hole in a bid to devour the Door of Flesh and Blood and Bethel Abraham to fall deep into the core and face the Chaos Sea that contained all possible colors and possibilities.
Following that, a blurry light seeped out from the void and enveloped the forest, attempting to restore the basic structure of the trees, mud, and altar.
And at the only gap in the light, a pair of brass-colored eyes emerged.
They stared at the Door of Flesh and Blood and Bethel Abraham, hoping to reflect them into their eyes.
Mr. Door let out a low roar, causing his blood-colored robe to flare up.
The robe connected to the evil tide that surged behind the Door of Flesh and Blood, spreading out to the crimson moonlight.
The moment it touched the moonlight, the inscrutable night that could not be seen gathered on its own. It stretched out its limbs and head, turning into a shadowy female human.
It possessed its own life, and its consciousness was no longer controlled by its user.
Without any exception, the blinding sunlight transformed into a young man wearing fiery armor. The shaking ground grew eyes and closed its mouth. The screen that was transformed from a faint light revealed terrifying facial features. Around the brass-colored eyes, eyelashes emerged, transforming into wings.
These obstructions and interferences fell into chaos, giving Mr. Door a chance for a breather.
Seizing this opportunity, "He" entered the final step of becoming a god.
At that moment, the Door of Flesh and Blood suddenly collapsed and covered Mr. Door's body, making "Him" seem to turn into another person.
…
Klein's body seemed to dissociate into countless people. They had their own preferences, their personalities, their determination, and their fates. They lived in a town known as Utopia.
These people quickly lived their short lifespans, waking up under the heavy storm. They came to their senses and realized what their identity was in essence.
It was Zhou Mingrui, and also Klein Moretti. They were also Sherlock Moriarty, Gehrman Sparrow, Dwayne Dantès, and Merlin Hermes.
One thing could have many names, but its nature wouldn't change.
The "people" raised their heads and looked up into infinity from the illusory city in the spirit world.
They saw the illusory and thin Spirit Body Threads, and they saw a symbol made up of the Pupil-less Eye and the partially Contorted Lines.
With the symbol as the core, Klein's figure outlined itself, his eyes tightly shut.
Worms of Spirit, bits of Beyonder characteristics, and bits of his self-awareness flew out from the spirit world corresponding to the Utopia area and towards Klein's slightly illusory body, allowing it to slowly become corporeal.
At this point, there was no clear boundary between Klein's Spirit Body and his physical body. They were both one and separate, and also in a rather delicate state.
In other words, a Spirit Body could be equivalent to a body of flesh and blood. His physical body could also fuse with his Spirit Body. As long as Klein was willing, he could switch between two states. Of course, he could also separate his physical body from his Spirit Body. All of them had their individual traits, and they could be decided based on a mere thought.
Two seconds later, the reassembly process was completed. Klein, who was floating in the depths of the spirit world, opened his eyes. His pupils were dark, without any light.
He had already advanced to Sequence 1 and became an Attendant of Mysteries.
Without a sound, a grayish-white fog appeared behind him. Above the fog was an ancient palace. Inside the palace stood a door that was stained bluish-black, formed from countless spherical lights.
The door of light appeared rather clearly in the spirit world. It separated out a rather blurry phantom and cast it at Klein's body.
As the phantom turned into a complicated symbol, it imprinted itself between Klein's brows. The entire spirit world and the real world outside began to gently shake as though they had encountered an earthquake from afar.
At that moment, Klein's surroundings turned dark as illusory stars appeared one after another. They surrounded the strange door of light as though they wanted to lump together.
In these illusory stars, the largest two overlapped and corresponded to an area in the real world.
The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth stars were located somewhere else.
Through these illusory stars, Klein saw Mr. Door and Amon on a particular island. He saw Antigonus in the dilapidated palace inside the concealed world, and Zaratul who was hiding somewhere unknown. He saw Pallez Zoroast in Leonard's body and Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar…
With the help of the changes caused by further deepening his control over Sefirah Castle, Klein found the angels and Kings of Angels corresponding to the three pathways of Mysteries.
Of course, such a "vision" only lasted for a few seconds. Once Amon and Zaratul reacted and used the correct method to conceal themselves, Klein would no longer be able to lock onto "Their" true bodies.
Without any hesitation, Klein raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
The Staff of the Stars that was originally placed in Sefirah Castle had appeared in his palm. He also split a portion of the Worms of Spirit to let them enter Sefirah Castle to prevent any abnormalities and respond to his believers.
After becoming an Attendant of Mysteries, Klein's control over Sefirah Castle deepened, allowing him to take out items from inside at any time.
In the next second, the various gems on the Staff of the Stars lit up as Klein's figure vanished from the spirit world. He instantly "Wandered" to a swamp and arrived in front of Zaratul.
Dressed in a hood and a black robe, the white-bearded Zaratul didn't panic. "He" used "His" Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder powers to make all kinds of connections as "He" extended "His" left hand and grabbed into the void ahead.
…
Gradually, Alger's body turned grayish-white, almost about to petrify.
Could it be that Mr. Fool doesn't favor me because of my failure to monitor Verdu? He frowned slightly, wanting to give up, but he stayed underground.
At that moment, a grayish-white fog appeared in front of him. All the Sealed Artifacts fell silent.
…
After Mr. Door Bethel Abraham was enveloped by the Door of Flesh and Blood, a familiar voice echoed in his ears:
"You wish to bring the disaster back to the real world?"
Bethel Abraham's actions instantly slowed down.
"Give up. I have a way to deal with it. I'll let you sleep and let you get the peace you want." That familiar voice sounded again.
Chapter 1353 Sacrificial Victim
Mr. Door's figure that had shrunk from the ball of light came to a halt as though "He" had fallen into an intense internal struggle.
The layered doors in "His" body were just a little short of fully being reassembled.
Amidst the illusory whooshing sounds, the crimson tide that barely squeezed through the gap in the Door of Flesh and Blood became even more turbulent. The blood-colored robe landed heavily, about to envelop Bethel Abraham once again.
However, as it descended, the brass-colored eyes, the young man in the fiery armor, the hazy barrier of light that accentuated terrifying facial features, the ground with opened eyes and closed mouth, and the shadowy woman vanished silently from the world.
In that instant, a blazing sun appeared above the forest. Day replaced the night, causing all the shadows to rapidly disperse.
This caused the blood-colored robe to rise once again, scattering even more crimson moonlight, causing all the disturbances to return to their mother's embrace.
Seizing this opportunity, Mr. Door's illusory eyes closed as "He" lowered "His" head.
"Alright…" "He" painfully said the first word after "His" return to reality.
"His" figure completely froze as "He" raised "His" right hand and pressed it to "His" face.
The next second, Mr. Door lifted "His" head and wore a crystal monocle on "His" right eye.
A beam of light erupted from the monocle, illuminating the entire world.
At that moment, all the errors of the seals that had failed were fixed. Everything that seemed normal showed errors. All the clocks jumped several seconds forward.
The Marauder Sequence 0 Error's ritual was:
To replace someone during "Their" apotheosis ritual!
And Mr. Door's return seemed to directly trigger "His" apotheosis ritual.
The light converged immediately, and Mr. Door had turned into Amon with "His" pointed hat and classic black robe.
The Blasphemer held a simple and unadorned key that seemed to be forged from pure starlight in "His" hand.
Above "Him," the blood-colored robe descended, wanting to embrace "Him" into its arms. Behind "Him," the crimson tide angrily squeezed through the remnants of the Door of Flesh and Blood in a last bid to enter the world.
In that short moment, the blood-colored moon glowed even brighter, blocking the sun, night, earth, blurry light, and the strange white tower outside.
Faced with the corruption from an Outer Deity, Amon's lips curled up slightly. "He" extended "His" right hand and took out an abnormally ancient stone slab from an unknown location.
The first Blasphemy Slate!
Then, "He" used the stone slab formed from the Chaos Sea to block the remnant opening of the Door of Flesh and Blood. Then, "He" used it as a substitute to receive the falling blood-colored robe.
The first Blasphemy Slate turned illusory, as though it was connected to an infinite sea that contained all the possible colors.
The sea surged and swallowed the blood-colored robe, blocking the crimson tide from the cosmos.
The already collapsed Door of Flesh and Blood rapidly shrank before quickly disappearing. An angry and terrifying roar resounded in the air from within.
In the next second, the crimson moon appeared in the sky. The color quickly faded and turned pure. On it was a huge, distorted, crimson figure.
Wearing a pointed hat and a classic black robe, Amon adjusted the monocle on "His" right eye and waved "His" hand at the crimson figure and the bright moon that were staring at him. "He" then smiled and bowed slightly in all directions.
…
In the corpse cathedral that had an erected gigantic cross where countless skulls were watching with their hollow "eyes."
Adam, who was dressed in a simple white robe, took a look at the ceaseless lightning outside the stained glass. "He" slowly got up and walked to the pool of blood that Klein had left behind. "He" bent down and picked up the ancient and mysterious mirror.
Following that, "He" turned around and walked towards the second Blasphemy Slate.
…
The first figure that Zaratul summoned out of the fog of history was still Roselle Gustav, who wore a dark red coat embroidered with gold thread, and had chestnut-colored curly long hair.
To this Attendant of Mysteries, there were quite a number of angels that "He" got to know in "His" long life. There were only a few that were stronger than a Sequence 1 Knowledge Emperor. For example, the Antigonus ancestor before "He" became The Half-Fool, Angel of Fate Ouroboros, or the Red of War brass who could indirectly obtain the strength of the Red Angel of Fate.
But under such circumstances, Zaratul believed that summoning Roselle Gustav's Historical Void projection first was safer.
Before the Antigonus family's ancestor became The Half-Fool, "He" too was a Sequence 1 Attendant of Mysteries. Therefore, "He" would be suppressed by the enemy who had deeper control of Sefirah Castle and a level that surpassed most Kings of Angels. After all, "His" enemy was the closest to a true god.
After Zaratul chose to cooperate with the Rose School of Thought and Adam, the success rate of summoning the Angel of Fate Ouroboros would undoubtedly drop. It wasn't suitable for him to attempt it at a critical moment.
The Red of War brass that could borrow the Red Angel's powers didn't possess the strength directly, so the actual effects produced weren't any stronger than that of Knowledge Emperor Roselle Gustav.
In comparison, Zaratul would definitely choose the historical projection that he was most familiar with and the easiest to successfully summon.
"His" plan was to seize the opportunity that Gehrman Sparrow had directly "Wandered" here without preparing any Historical Void projections in advance to use Knowledge Emperor Roselle Gustav, the Red of War army brass, and Abomination Suah to hold him back and leave "Him" enough time to create a miracle for "Himself."
As soon as Roselle's figure appeared, he immediately condensed into complicated and illusory symbols in his eyes in a bid to infuse large amounts of miscellaneous and useless knowledge into "His" target's mind, causing "His" brain to explode.
At the same time, Zaratul used the various connections he had set up in advance to move "Himself." This swamp was "His" home ground. As he made slippery and transparent tentacles penetrate the hooded black robe and stretch into the fog of history, he summoned the Red of War brass.
At that moment, Roselle Gustav's historical projection suddenly turned his head and used a subtle connection to look towards Zaratul's true form.
Zaratul's mind was instantly filled with information and useless knowledge. "His" brain nearly exploded as "He" was unable to process "His" thoughts for a short period of time.
"He" froze on the spot, "His" gaze not even changing!
The historical projection, Knowledge Emperor Roselle Gustav, that "He" had summoned had betrayed "Him"!
Klein was both surprised and unsurprised by this outcome.
It wasn't surprising because this was his own doing. The Worms of Spirit in Sefirah Castle had already "Grafted" Roselle's present state to the concealed state that Klein had met!
The surprising thing was that Adam had never reminded Zaratul to be careful of Roselle Gustav.
Klein had previously sensed the coincidences in certain matters. His preparations included using The Fool symbol's connection to Roselle Gustav's seal. Through the corresponding prayer point of light, he could throw a Worm of Spirit that contained certain words or intent to his fellow Earthling who was in deep sleep, and awaken "Him." Then, using a "Miracle," "He" could temporarily suppress the corruptive powers of the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
Back then, the worst-case scenario that Klein took precautions against was if something happened to him that prevented him from contacting Sefirah Castle. As such, the Worms of Spirit in Sefirah Castle and the Worms of Spirit that were scattered in different places would end up losing control and be unable to save him.
Once the Worm of Spirit he gave Roselle mutated, Roselle would know that there was something wrong. "He" could then use the powers of a Black Emperor to distort order to maintain the Worm of Spirit's lucidity for a certain period of time.
As for what plan the Worm of Spirit and Roselle would come up with to save himself, Klein didn't know either.
This was the real reason why he could hide from Adam!
With his experience in the Hall of Truth, Klein knew that he wouldn't have any secrets when facing the Visionary. Any rescue plans, be it figured out from the past or on the spot, would be seen and heard clearly by Adam.
At his level, the only way to avoid it was if even he himself didn't know how to save himself.
Of course, Visionary Adam knew without a doubt that Klein had a Worm of Spirit in Roselle Gustav's Black Emperor mausoleum. "He" knew that his backup plan definitely came from this, but "He" wasn't able to pry into the secrets of it because it was contaminated by the Mother Goddess of Depravity. It was a place that had been corrupted by the cosmos, and the thought of prying into Roselle Gustav was like prying into an Outer Deity!
This was the difference in level.
It was precisely because of this that Klein could calmly ask all kinds of secrets and read the second Blasphemy Slate. On the one hand, knowledge was indeed tempting. And on the other hand, he was stalling for time, waiting for the other side to complete the task of rescuing him. At the same time, he didn't want to occupy his mind; otherwise, he couldn't help but think about how he could save himself.
As a result, Klein began to suspect that other than the unknown reasons as to why Adam had shared so many secrets with him, was because "He" was also trying to lure him into thinking of the solutions he would use to save himself, so as to find clues and stop him in advance.
Therefore, the question-and-answer session in the corpse cathedral was a clash of minds. Klein had to constantly control himself to prevent his thoughts from going astray.
And under this premise, Adam clearly knew that there might be problems with Roselle Gustav, but "He" didn't remind Zaratul!
Regardless of the reason, Klein had no intention of letting the opportunity slip. He immediately raised the Staff of the Stars in his hand and skillfully simulated Amon's Worm of Time's powers.
Gong!
An ancient mottled stone clock phantom appeared. Its face was separated into twelve different segments by grayish-white and bluish-black colors. Each segment represented a different symbol of time.
Gong!
One of the three needles in the middle of the stone clock jumped, and Zaratul's body froze on the spot.
Klein immediately transformed into a maggot vortex that extended countless slippery tentacles. In the middle of the vortex was a strange door of light.
The door of light didn't move as the vortex swirled around it. A terrifying suction force forcefully pulled out the Beyonder characteristics within Zaratul's body.
This was the method Pallez Zoroast had used to deal with Amon's avatar back then. He had relied on his position to forcibly gather characteristics!
Bit by bit, the Beyonder characteristics flew out at an accelerating rate. By the time Zaratul escaped "His" frozen state and the mental explosion, "He" was already unable to extricate himself. "He" could only watch helplessly as "He" was completely carried into the dark and gloomy maggot whirlpool!
A few seconds later, the vortex outlined its body again, and Klein landed his feet on the ground.
In the fog of history, Zaratul's figure appeared again and again, but it was impossible for "Him" to retrieve "His" Beyonder characteristics. In the end, it could only fade away silently, making it difficult for him to completely revive.
Klein used the ritual's remnant effects that hadn't completely dissipated and directly swallowed Zaratul's characteristic!
He wanted to use this to lower the influence of the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings!
…
As the corpse cathedral was still floating in the sea of lightning, Adam, who wore a simple white robe and had a faint blond beard, suddenly appeared at the edge of the waters near the ruins of the battle of gods.
The sea split apart, and a path appeared. It led straight to the spot which was stained with the ancient sun god's blood. It led straight to the Giant King's Court's projection—the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
In the depths of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, at the top of a mountain peak, there was a huge cross erected, and there was an indistinct figure hanging upside down on it.
(End of the Seventh Volume—The Hanged Man)
Chapter 1354 This Nigh
Late at night, the clanging sound of the door and windows opening woke Wendel up from his deep sleep. He warily rolled off the bed and surveyed his surroundings.
What happened? Utopia encountered a super heavy storm? It wasn't easy for the recently insomniac Wendel to fall asleep, but he had no choice but to get out of bed. His mind was still lethargic, and he looked rather lost.
He soon realized that there was no wind blowing in from the open window, nor did the rain enter. It was like he had opened it while sleepwalking to take in fresh air.
Wendel suddenly thought of the supernatural events that he had experienced and learned from the dossier. He was reminded of the fear of the unknown that once ruled his heart.
He didn't know what else would happen next, nor could he guess what he would encounter. He felt a chill run down his back as he shivered again.
At this moment, he heard the commotion outside the door. All sorts of voices entered his ears.
There were the loud sounds of running, the sounds of judgment, the declarations of orders to be changed, and unconcealed shouts.
"Something is wrong with the underground seal!"
"Be on high alert!"
Underground seal? What kind of item is sealed beneath the Irises Hotel? Wendel was surprised and confused. He couldn't help but walk to the door and look around.
He then saw an MI9 colleague, who he barely knew, and Colonel Xio Derecha, who was on duty tonight.
Did MI9 find Utopia because of me? They're here to handle the abnormality? Wendel instinctively frowned just as the thought flashed through his mind.
He discovered that the corridor outside was completely different from the Irises Hotel. Not only were there gas lamps on both sides, but there were also classical candle stands. The floor was very bright, and the ceiling was more than three meters high…
This… This isn't the Irises Hotel… Wendel suddenly turned around and sized up the room he was in.
He quickly recognized that this was his sleeping quarters at MI9 headquarters. His luggage was placed quietly in a corner without any signs of movement.
Wendel clearly remembered that he had headed to Utopia through the washroom in his room. He wasn't too confident in the process, so he didn't bring his luggage and only held the subpoena from Utopia's courts.
Tap! Tap! Tap! He quickly ran to the window and looked outside.
What greeted his eyes was the garden and lawn at MI9 headquarters.
I-I'm back in Backlund again? Or perhaps, I didn't return to Utopia at all. I was just too tired and ended up having a dream in my sleep? Wendel dazedly walked back to his bed and sat down.
After about ten seconds, he suddenly jumped up and picked up his coat from the ground.
Then, he saw the Utopian subpoena in the inner pocket of the coat when it should be inside a drawer.
Wendel fell silent, as though he had become a statue.
…
Travel columnist, Monica, also woke up from the banging of the doors and windows.
She sat up straight, pulled the blanket up, and placed it in front of her chest.
The sleepy-eyed Monica's first reaction was that a robber had barged into the hotel. She was about to scream and call for the police.
But in the next ten to twenty seconds, Monica didn't hear any footsteps entering her room. However, there were more and more people gathered along the corridor.
"What happened?"
"It doesn't seem like a hurricane…"
"Was it a prank?"
"Damn clown, if I knew who it was, I would definitely kick his ass hard!"
…
The voices of discussion were mixed with all kinds of curses.
Monica didn't think much of it when she heard it. Instead, she thought of using the crowd's discussion to consider the reason underlying the paranormal activity and write it in her traveling column.
But as she listened, she gradually realized something was amiss.
How could Irises Hotel have so many guests?
She remembered clearly that on this floor, there were at most five rooms with guests. This included her room.
At that moment, Monica thought of the ghost stories she had heard. She immediately felt as if there were wraiths and shadows outside.
She had originally stretched her feet towards the bedside, preparing to leave the room to participate in the discussion and grasp more details for her writing material. But now, she retracted her feet and curled into a ball, trembling.
A few seconds later, she heard a man say, "I asked the hotel owner, and he said that he had no idea what happened. Perhaps there was a short storm just now.
"Return to your room and get some rest. Remember to lock the windows. Yawn. I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the Royal Museum."
Royal Museum… Monica was stunned.
As a travel columnist, as a traveler who had been in Utopia for a long time, she naturally knew that there was no Royal Museum.
In the Loen Kingdom, a museum with such a royal name would definitely be in Backlund.
To take a steam locomotive from Utopia to Backlund required many hours. Even if he woke up early, he wouldn't be able to arrive before the Royal Museum closed.
Monica was puzzled. She slowly lifted the blanket. She heard the sound of the door and windows closing continuously.
She got off the bed carefully and walked towards the door.
During this process, she gradually saw the room through the moonlight.
Hiss… Monica almost screamed.
This wasn't the guest room she had slept in previously!
Regardless of the layout or arrangement, they were completely different!
The ghost stories that she had thought of earlier surged into her mind again, causing her legs to give way, and she almost couldn't support herself.
Just as Monica's teeth were chattering, she saw a hotel name card on the table. It was prepared for guests. If she brought it out, she would be able to get someone to guide her back when she was lost—even if she didn't know the language.
Monica subconsciously approached it and used the moonlight to identify the words on the name card.
Carlpensa Hotel, Backlund West Borough, 19 Mourning Street.
Backlund West Borough… Backlund… Monica's eyes widened as she felt like space and time had gone topsy-turvy.
…
Backlund, Hillston Borough, in a house with a fireplace.
Fors heard the door and windows open, but she didn't immediately wake up. This was because she had fallen into a strange nightmare and couldn't break free.
She dreamed that her teacher, Dorian Gray Abraham, had been influenced by the family's Sealed Artifact, dying in front of her with blood dripping. She dreamed that she had lost control and mutated, turning into a series of starlight insects that warped into the shape of doors. She couldn't help but fly towards a Door of Flesh and Blood. She dreamed that the apocalypse had dawned, and the surging blood-colored tide had drowned the entire world, preventing Xio, Gehrman Sparrow, and company from escaping…
Finally, Fors escaped the dream and sat up, panting heavily.
As a demigod, one who was once an Astrologer, she knew what such a dream meant. She hurriedly suppressed her emotions and looked up ahead.
The glass on the oriel window in the bedroom all bore open at some point in time.
Something must've happened… Furthermore, it has a certain relationship with the apocalypse, the Abraham family, and the Apprentice pathway… Fors silently muttered to herself before standing up and wearing a cloak, preparing to "Teleport" to her teacher to confirm his safety.
Such a change made her feel a sense of urgency towards advancing to Sequence 3 or even Sequence 2.
After learning about the apocalypse from Mr. Fool and The World Gehrman Sparrow, Fors had actually been working hard, but the Secrets Sorcerer potion wasn't something that she could digest in a short period of time. Furthermore, without making any contributions, she couldn't bring herself to ask her teacher for the Wanderer's formula and ingredients.
Of course, if she was willing, she could've obtained it from Mr. Door. However, how could she have been bewitched after receiving all kinds of reminders?
Phasing away, Fors vanished from the room.
A few seconds later, she appeared at Dorian Gray Abraham's residence and saw her teacher sitting there, pressing down on his heart as though he had been frightened.
"…Do you need medicine?" Fors asked carefully.
She had purchased medicine from Mr. Moon to treat ailments of age.
Dorian took a deep breath and shook his head.
"There's no need."
Fors immediately relaxed.
"Teacher, I dreamed that you were affected by the negative effects of the Sealed Artifact. Uh, the windows and doors around me had undergone unnecessary changes, so I came over to take a look."
Dorian looked up at the window open and said with a serious expression,
"Your dream wasn't wrong. I nearly died just now, but at the most critical moment, the seal came into effect…"
Having said that, he suddenly stood up and said to Fors, "Quick! Bring me somewhere else. I'm worried that something might happen to the other family members!"
Without any hesitation, Fors immediately grabbed her teacher's arm and asked for the exact location.
Their figures rapidly faded away and disappeared.
After traveling through the spirit world that was covered in gray fog for several seconds, Fors and Dorian suddenly left their present environment and landed in a place that looked like a study.
There were quite a few people standing there. They were members of the Abraham family who wielded different Sealed Artifacts and could "Travel."
"Vilos? Why are all of you here?" Dorian blurted out.
Vilos and the others shook their heads at the same time, both confused and terrified.
In the next second, countless dazzling stars appeared out of the void.
The starlight quickly gathered together, turning into objects that fell to the ground one after another.
There was a miniature door of starlight, a crystal ball formed from insects. There was a translucent, strange-looking key, a resplendent torch that burned slightly…
For some reason, names after names appeared in Dorian and company's minds:
Sequence 3 Wanderer Beyonder characteristic… Sequence 4 Secrets Sorcerer Beyonder characteristic… Sequence 1 Key of Stars Beyonder characteristic, Sequence 2 Planeswalker Beyonder characteristic…
Furthermore, there wasn't just one of each Beyonder characteristic. There were even two Sequence 1 Key of Stars Beyonder characteristics! In addition, there were three Planeswalker Beyonder characteristics, and even more of the rest.
The key members of the Abraham family and Fors slowly turned agape, unable to close them for a long time.
By the time all the Beyonder characteristics dropped to the ground, nothing abnormal happened again. There was silence.
Chapter 1355 Wrapping Up The Matter
The nearly frozen silence lasted for nearly ten seconds before the Abraham family members uniformly cast their gaze at Fors.
After sensing the mixed emotions of wariness, guardedness, and fear, Fors took the initiative to take a few steps to the side and warned, "Be careful of the negative effects."
Even if the Beyonder characteristics hadn't fused with the surroundings and formed Sealed Artifacts, they contained certain negative effects. However, most of the time, it would only have effects from direct contact. Of course, the Beyonder characteristics here were all High-Sequence Beyonder characteristics. No one could be certain if they would actively expand their area of influence.
Seeing that Fors didn't show any obvious greed, Dorian nodded and said, "When you finish digesting the Secrets Sorcerer potion, you can consider advancing to Sequence 3 Wanderer. I'll give you the potion formula and prepare the corresponding ingredients for you. Of course, at this level, the higher the Sequence, the greater the danger you face. This is an objective situation. It doesn't change because of your personal will and arrangements. When the time comes, you can decide whether you wish to advance or not."
He said these words because he cared for his student, and on the other hand, he wanted to assure her that whatever the Abraham family possessed was equivalent to her possessing it. No one would treat her as an outsider and deliberately make things difficult for her on the matter of raising her Sequence.
This could effectively eliminate the heat brought by greed.
And after obtaining so many High-Sequence Beyonder characteristics, Vilos and the other members of the Abraham family weren't unwilling to part with a Wanderer Beyonder characteristic. They even believed that using it to exchange for "peace" was absolutely worth it. After all, there was only one demigod here—Fors.
Without the time to bring out their Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts, and because of the ineffectiveness of the seals, the Abraham family members didn't dare take out most of the Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts. Under such a situation, Fors had the ability to finish all of them off.
Faced with her teacher's promise, Fors tersely acknowledged.
"Was the 'door' to the concealed space opened?
She thought that the High-Sequence Beyonder characteristics in front of her were all from the Abraham family's treasure vault and had been thrown into the real world due to the recent abnormality. However, she did feel that there were too many of them.
"No." Dorian slowly shook his head, looking confused.
The other Abraham family members remained silent, equally confused.
No one would believe that treasure would fall from the skies unless it happened before their eyes!
"Should we pray to Mr. Fool?" Fors tried giving a suggestion.
Dorian, who had a vague guess, immediately looked at the other Abrahams. He saw the ones who had changed faiths to Mr. Fool nod in agreement. Those who hadn't changed faiths were clearly hesitant and eager to object.
After some consideration, Dorian composed himself and said, "Gather the ones with negative area-of-effect traits while using the correct method. Prevent them from combining with the surroundings.
"I'll pray to Mr. Fool at the side."
"Alright." The few members of the Abraham family hesitated for two seconds before agreeing.
Following that, they seized the opportunity to identify the characteristics and attempt to gather them.
After some of the members had obtained a certain amount, Dorian finally retreated to Fors's side and bowed his head to pray to Mr. Fool.
Soon, a grayish-white fog and an ancient palace deep in the fog appeared in front of him. A high and solemn voice resounded in his ears:
"These are the relics of Mr. Door.
"Your bloodline curse has been completely removed."
Relics of Mr. Door… Relics… Dorian ruminated over the word and opened his eyes, casting his gaze at the High-Sequence Beyonder characteristics.
He looked on silently, his vision gradually blurring.
…
East Chester County, the Hall family manor.
Alfred and the others, who had just figured out the source of the explosion and the "enemy attack" shout, saw the doors and windows opening at the same time as they crashed into the walls.
During this process, several pieces of glass shattered.
There is indeed something abnormal… Alfred raised his hand with a solemn expression. He said to his adjutant, squire, personal guards, and bodyguards, "Retreat back to the main house to prevent any accidents that might happen next.
"At the same time, send a telegram to the archbishop of East Chester diocese, and request for assistance."
He felt that the most important thing right now was not to investigate the anomaly, but to protect his father, mother, and sister.
He had plenty of time to do the former after daybreak. But if anything happened to the latter, it would be impossible to make up for it.
After returning to the manor's main house and arranging for strict patrols, Alfred walked into the living room and said to Earl Hall, "There was indeed something abnormal, but the guard couldn't describe what he saw. He only felt extreme fear at that moment."
Earl Hall nodded calmly and said, "We'll do further investigations after daybreak.
"Sit down and get some rest."
Beside him, Audrey was holding her mother's arm as she quietly listened to her father and two brothers talking.
Of course, this was only an image. She had been continuously releasing Virtual Personas in an attempt to find the reason for the sudden opening of doors and windows from the memories of eyewitnesses.
After a few minutes, she ended the investigation, somewhat disappointed. For the time being, she temporarily attributed it to the influence left behind by the mind dragon, Ariehogg, and Mr. Wrath.
At that moment, she realized that the golden retriever, Susie, had a strange look in her eyes. She quickly sent out a Virtual Persona and entered the mind island of the other party's soul to have a private conversation.
"What did you discover?" Audrey asked directly.
On Susie's mind island, a voice resounded:
"I smell a thick scent of blood. At the edge of the manor, It happened sometime before the doors and windows opened. Yes, it happened about ten seconds after the explosion."
After hearing that, Audrey pursed her lips and fell silent for a few seconds.
"Go take a look."
Susie immediately stood up and tiptoed out of the living room. She left the manor's main house from a side door on the first floor.
During this process, there would be people looking at her from time to time, but they didn't mind her and didn't attempt to stop her. After all, she was just a dog, a dog who had mastered Psychological Invisibility.
After walking the path to the furthest building from the manor's main house, Susie twitched her nose and chose an open window before jumping in.
Then, she saw a bloody corpse on the bed. Its skin had shed.
And what she saw was equivalent to Audrey seeing it through the Virtual Persona that she planted in her mind island.
In the living room inside the main house of the manor, Audrey, who was holding her mother's arm, lowered her head.
Then she lifted her head, and her eyes swept slowly and deeply across her family's faces—Earl Hall, Lady Catelyn, Hibbert, and Alfred.
She maintained her silence, becoming increasingly silent.
…
Bayam, inside the Cathedral of Waves.
Alger, who was wearing a robe embroidered with the Storm symbol, walked out from the underground area one step at a time. He nodded at the Mandated Punishers and priests who were waiting by the sides.
"The seals were restored to normal in time.
"You can return the items under your watch."
"Yes, Your Eminence." The Mandated Punishers, priests, and bishops heaved a sigh of relief as they struck their left chest with their right fists.
Alger didn't say anything else as he responded with the same salute.
After returning to his room, he slowly looked around. He took a deep breath and found a seat to sit down.
The Fool that doesn't belong to this era… Alger silently prayed to Mr. Fool, expressing his thoughts of preparing to leave the Church of Storms.
The explanation that the seal was restored to normal in time could only convince relatively low-level members of the Church. It was impossible to hide from any cardinal or high-ranking deacon, much less the pontiff and the Lord of Storms.
And if he didn't get Mr. Fool's approval and protection, Alger didn't dare leave the Church of Storms so casually. He would definitely suffer the wrath of a god.
A few seconds later, he saw the familiar boundless gray fog and heard Mr. Fool's reply:
"Okay.
"Go to the Church of the Sea God."
Phew… Alger relaxed, stood up, and took off his Storm robe.
After changing into a linen shirt, brown jacket, and pantaloons, Alger looked at the cardinal robe on the table and fell silent for a while.
Then, he reached out and folded the robe neatly.
After carefully examining it for a few seconds, Alger retracted his gaze and flew out of the cathedral through the open board window by controlling a strong wind.
He first flew to the bell tower and landed on the top. He looked down at the surrounding streets and down at Bayam.
During this process, Alger stepped on the edge of the roof and slowly circled it.
Finally, he closed his eyes.
A hurricane suddenly stirred as it swept Alger towards the Church of the Sea God.
…
In the ancient palace above the fog.
Klein silently sat on the high-back chair belonging to The Fool.
His figure would occasionally turn incorporeal, as though he was wearing a mysterious and classical black robe. During such instances, he wore a hood that made his face indiscernible. At other times, he would return to normal. However, he was enveloped in a faint gray fog.
The frequency of this change gradually slowed down.
And every time Klein transformed into the black-robed, hooded figure, slippery tentacles with strange patterns growing would extend out from under his clothes.
These nearly transparent tentacles flailed about, striking everywhere as if taking the palace for itself.
After a while, Klein's figure finally stabilized.
Out of habit, he raised his right hand and rubbed his temples as he muttered to himself, The awakening of the Celestial Worthy's will is faster and more intense than I expected… If I hadn't devoured Zaratul's Beyonder characteristic and used the remnant mental imprint to balance it and stalled for time, I wouldn't have been able to adjust my state and stop "Him" from awakening…
However, this made Klein's mental state rather unstable.
And he didn't lose control because his Miracle Invoker potion had already been completely digested, and the new Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic he consumed was mostly digested shortly after consumption. The identity of The World was a Blessed of the owner of Sefirah Castle, making it directly equivalent to the Attendant of Mysteries. Therefore, Klein had already acted the role of Attendant of Mysteries for a very long time, and it had been quite successful.
As for the second Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic, he still needed some time to digest it.
Chapter 1356 Urgency
After stabilizing his anchors, the will of the Celestial Worthy, and the weak balance of his consciousness, Klein leaned back in his chair and observed the various powers brought about by the Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic.
Among them, there were three most important ones. They were all grasped by Klein using Sefirah Castle and the "curtain," ahead of time, but he just didn't know the exact names.
The first was "Regenerate": If the materials that made up an item once had a Spirit Body, then the Attendant of Mysteries could use the powers of "Regenerate" to summon the corresponding Spirit Body Threads, making the item become his marionette. Then, he could establish a deep connection with the item and also naturally transform it into a marionette.
To put it simply, an Attendant of Mysteries couldn't allow something that didn't have Spirit Body Threads to produce Spirit Body Threads, but he could allow some items to regenerate their Spirit Body Threads that had long disappeared. The former represented metallic items, gold coins, gold pounds, and so on. The latter mainly consisted of beef, fish, and other food. Once humans ate food that were marionettes, they would also transform into marionettes, as though they had encountered intense corruption.
The second was "Reassembly," which was also known as "Tampering": It could reassemble many physical objects or abstract concepts into something different, resulting in an unbelievable effect. It was like changing the definition, logic, orientation, or rules.
The third was the "Realm of Mysteries": This was an ability used to create an embryonic form of a divine kingdom. It could bring about a certain concealment effect.
"Reassembly" represents the authority of "change," while the "Realm of Mysteries" represents "concealment." The two essential elements of The Fool's symbol are in place… However, "Reassembly" and "Tampering" doesn't sound nice, and the meaning isn't clear enough. "Grafting" is still better. It's obvious at a glance… Klein mumbled inwardly before casting his gaze around.
Now, he had deepened his control of Sefirah Castle, he could directly borrow the powers nearing Sequence 0 of the Seer pathway. He could also use most of the Beyonder powers below Sequence 0 of the Marauder and Apprentice pathways. It was quite similar to Dark Angel Sasrir from back then.
Of course, Dark Angel Sasrir could only use the first Blasphemy Slate to indirectly use the powers of the Chaos Sea. As for Klein, he was the owner of Sefirah Castle, one that hadn't fully gained control of the sefirah. Therefore, his level was higher than Dark Angel Sasrir's.
As for strength, in theory, he was stronger, but his strength was affected by too many factors. Having only become a Beyonder after a few years, Klein couldn't guarantee that he would definitely be able to defeat Heaven's deputy and the left hand of God.
In short, he was now considered a king of the King of Angels, and he was very close to the level of a true god.
After gaining a deeper grasp of Sefirah Castle, the difference between me in here and in the outside world is almost gone. It wouldn't result in me being a King of Angels outside but having the power of a true god in Sefirah Castle… The greatest advantage here is it provides me a defensive barrier that even a true god can't break. Yes, whether the Outer Deities can do it remains to be seen… Klein slowly exhaled as he focused his attention on the current situation.
There were two things he was most worried about at present:
The first was the Primordial Moon, which was also the Mother Goddess of Depravity. Although "She" failed to fully descend into the real world with Mr. Door's return, a little portion of "Her" strength had invaded. Furthermore, "She" maintained it for a few seconds under the attacks of the five orthodox deities of Evernight, Steam, and company. Whether this would affect the surroundings, the corresponding pathways, and exert certain effects on some matters remained to be seen.
Second, Angel of Time Amon has already stolen Mr. Door's ritual and became Sequence 0 of the Marauder pathway. "He" would be Klein's most direct and most powerful enemy.
I wonder if Amon has taken the opportunity to accommodate Mr. Door's Uniqueness and Sequence 1 Key of Stars. If "He" has completed this step, "He" will be the most powerful true god in the real world. Hmm, I wonder how "He" compares to the Evernight Goddess. No one knows how much of the Death and God of Combat Uniquenesses the Goddess has accommodated.
Typically speaking, Amon shouldn't have the time to accommodate the Apprentice pathway's Uniqueness. Although Mr. Door's return is equivalent to the ritual itself, the most important matter at that moment was to replace Mr. Door, allowing the three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics and the Uniqueness of the Marauder pathway to gather together, resulting in a qualitative change. There's no time to accommodate the Uniqueness of the Apprentice pathway. Also, this operation has a high chance of awakening the Celestial Worthy. Amon wouldn't take such a risk…
In other words, Amon's subsequent focus is to accommodate the Uniqueness of the Apprentice pathway and become a true god of two pathways. Otherwise, under the watch of the other true deities, it will be very difficult for "Him" to finish off a King of Angels like me.
Furthermore, even if "He" does take the risk and succeeds, "Him" having accommodated the Apprentice pathway's Uniqueness means that "He" has to slowly adapt and stabilize "His" condition, making it impossible to deal with me in a short period of time.
I have to make use of the time to become The Fool. Only by doing so can I use Sefirah Castle and my own level to resist Amon.
I don't have much time left… Klein silently gave a self-deprecating comment. He leaned forward and gently tapped the edge of the long mottled table.
He was analyzing the possibility of him becoming The Fool in a short period of time.
The digestion of the Attendant of Mysteries potion was relatively simple. By the time Klein used his anchor and consciousness to suppress the awakening of the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, and not lose control or become someone else, he could use Sefirah Castle to create an avatar like Amon. Then, he could use the power of Sefirah Castle to steal the undigested Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic he got from Zaratul.
At this point, Klein would immediately turn the avatar into a marionette to prevent any unexpected developments.
This way, Klein would drop to the level of an Attendant of Mysteries who had fully digested the potion, and he would have an Attendant of Mysteries marionette—this was one of the main ingredients of the potion.
And the Attendant of Mysteries who had digested the potion was qualified to consume The Fool's potion and become a Sequence 0 true god.
These series of operations weren't too complicated, but it was prone to mistakes. Furthermore, an ordinary dual Sequence 1 King of Angels from the Seer pathway couldn't do it unless "They" have a Sequence 2 Trojan Horse of Destiny friend of the Marauder pathway who's willing to sacrifice "Himself" to provide help. Of course, a Sequence 1 Worm of Time friend could do it.
Therefore, to Klein, the most troublesome thing was the other two matters: First, how to deal with The Half-Fool of the Antigonus family, and secondly, how to complete the ritual of "fooling time, history, or fate."
With my current level and strength, it isn't impossible to deal with the Antigonus family's ancestor. Of course, the prerequisite is that I should first familiarize myself with the corresponding Beyonder powers and changes in Sefirah Castle… Sigh, I don't have any idea on how to approach The Fool's ritual at all. Klein raised his hand and pinched his forehead, casting his gaze at the grayish-white fog beneath Sefirah Castle.
Among time, history, and fate, he was undoubtedly more familiar with history.
Now, he could use Sefirah Castle to directly influence the fog of history, allowing the corresponding powers of the Seer pathway to become stronger or weaker.
This was the embodiment of authority.
Fooling history… Fooling history… Klein tapped the edge of the long mottled table again as various thoughts flashed through his mind, but he repeatedly wrote them off.
In his opinion, all the possible solutions didn't satisfy the requirements of "fooling history." This was because history objectively recorded what had happened. Whatever happened was definitely reasonable. And the solutions that could satisfy the requirements, such as returning to the past, consuming the potion, and becoming The Fool that came from history, wasn't able to achieve it. At the very least, Klein had never seen the ability to reverse time.
As his gaze moved deep into the fog of history, Klein suddenly had a feasible idea.
The present reality of history was this: The Tarot Club members believed that they were following The Fool that didn't belong to this era—an awakened ancient god or an existence that surpassed an ancient god. In fact, Mr. Fool was originally just an ordinary person hanging above the gray fog. He used all sorts of resources to package himself and improve himself.
Klein's thoughts were inspired by Amon.
He could use Sefirah Castle to create an avatar, and let the avatar use Sefirah Castle to steal the fate, consciousness, anchors, and Zaratul's Sequence 1 Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic.
Therefore, the main body's Beyonder characteristic was formed purely from the one inside the "curtain," in which the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings was slowly awakening in.
This way, the understanding of the Tarot Club members was correct. Mr. Fool was a great existence that was awakening.
This went against the true history, but it was a fact grounded in reality. It could fulfill the requirements of the ritual.
Of course, the premise was that the act of stealing an avatar needed to happen in Sefirah Castle or other concealed areas. Otherwise, it would also be recorded in history, preventing it from achieving the effects of "fooling."
As for how he was to deal with the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings when "He" awakened, and how his avatar was to kill his true form and make "Him" a potion, Klein was temporarily out of a solution.
The result of this attempt is equivalent to suicide. Heh, before being killed by the Celestial Worthy, my avatar's Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic would've been digested by then. After all, I successfully revived the Lord of the Mysteries… Klein shook his head and threw the incomplete plan to the back of his mind.
Under the circumstances where he couldn't think of a solution, he decided to seek advice from the existences that might know what to do.
He had two targets: One was Snake of Fate Will Auceptin, and the other was the Evernight Goddess.
The former might have some thoughts about "fooling fate," while the latter probably knew what kind of ritual the ancestor of the Antigonus family used to accommodate The Fool's Uniqueness.
After stabilizing his mental state, Klein left Sefirah Castle and directly "Teleported" to Backlund.
Chapter 1357 Meeting
Deep in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, on the peak of a mountain stood a gigantic cross that bordered the realm of reality and illusion.
There was a blurry figure hanging there. Ancient wooden stakes dyed with fresh blood that didn't drip down passed through "His" body, nailing "Him" to the cross.
At the bottom of the cross was the Angel of Fate Ouroboros, who was wearing a simple linen robe and had silver hair that reached "His" waist. "He" sat there cross-legged with a gentle and pious expression as "He" closed "His" eyes and prayed.
Adam, whose face was half-covered by a pale blond beard, walked over and stopped in front of the huge cross. "He" raised "His" head and silently looked at the hanging figure.
"He" held Arrodes in one hand and held the second Blasphemy Slate in the other. "His" eyes were limpid and his expression was calm.
After an unknown period of time, the image of The Hanged Man on the huge cross suddenly faded away, connecting to the sky and to the land below with a shadow curtain. Behind the curtain, there seemed to be a pair of cold eyes watching over the world.
In the next second, a rift appeared in the shadow curtain. It was dark inside, faintly reverberating with an illusory tidal wave.
Adam raised "His" left hand and let the ancient and mysterious magic mirror emit a faint glow.
In the light, a sticky but illusory black liquid surged out. A boundless sea that seemed to contain all colors appeared. It looked like it was at arm's length but couldn't affect reality.
Following that, Adam placed the second Blasphemy Slate into the illusory scene.
The illusory sea scene in the distance ebbed gently as it circled the second Blasphemy Slate, forming a certain connection with it.
The second Blasphemy Slate was a manifestation of the corpse of the ancient sun god—one which was extremely close to being a Great Old One, and almost equivalent to the owner of the Chaos Sea.
Upon seeing this scene, Adam's left hand moved slightly, allowing Arrodes to fly up and fall towards the Angel of Fate Ouroboros under the huge cross.
The second Blasphemy Slate that "He" held underwent some subtle changes, and through the rift on the curtain, "He" walked inside.
The shadow curtain closed and quickly faded away, leaving behind a huge empty cross.
No one said a word throughout the entire process. Everything was carried out silently. Angel of Fate Ouroboros didn't even attempt to open "His" eyes.
At the same time, Amon became a god and used the first Blasphemy Slate to block the tunnel that the Mother Goddess of Depravity was trying to enter through. The Lord of Storms finally smote apart the corpse cathedral that Adam had envisioned out of nothing, and one of Adam's identities.
After a while, Tail Devourer Ouroboros opened "His" eyes and cast "His" gaze at Arrodes, which had landed on "His" lap.
On the surface of the mirror, silver words appeared in the swirling illusory water:
"You should know the feeling of piously believing and following a great existence, right?"
Ouroboros nodded indifferently.
"So, can you send me back to my Lord?" On the surface of the mirror, silver words squirmed and formed a new sentence. "Once you answer, you can ask me two questions."
Ouroboros silently looked at the ancient mirror in silence for a long time.
Finally, Arrodes couldn't help but produce a new question:
"Why aren't you answering?"
Ouroboros looked at "Himself" in the mirror and replied calmly, "I haven't thought through it yet."
"Three questions…" On the surface of the magic mirror, the silver light slowly outlined two words.
…
In Backlund, on a lawn that belonged to a bungalow.
Will Auceptin, who was already over two years old, was happily chasing a fat golden cat with glistening fur. Beside "Him" was a nanny and a maid.
Ever since this Snake of Fate was born, Aaron Ceres's career had improved by the day. Now, he owned a private hospital that provided medical services to high society.
As "He" ran, Will Auceptin stepped on a spot that was slippery. With a slip, "His" body involuntarily leaned back.
"He" took a few steps back and stepped on another rock.
This provided an impetus to stop Will Auceptin's fall, miraculously allowing him to maintain "His" balance.
In regards to this encounter, alarms started ringing in this chubby toddler's head. This was because with "His" luck, it was impossible for "Him" to step on a spot that could make people slip.
A familiar figure quickly appeared in "His" eyes.
It was Sherlock Moriarty wearing a half top hat and a black double-breasted coat.
Will Auceptin turned "His" head abruptly and looked at "His" nanny and maid. "He" discovered that they hadn't noticed the appearance of the stranger on the lawn.
"I have a nagging feeling you would say: 'Go ahead and scream. No one will hear you,'" the two-year-old toddler mumbled as he turned around.
Without waiting for Klein's reply, "He" spread "His" hands and said, "In short, I must congratulate you on becoming a King of Angels.
"Bullying children doesn't suit your current status."
Klein let out a soft chuckle.
"Do you know how to fool fate?"
Will Auceptin raised "His" head and looked warily at Klein.
"Giving me fake ice cream isn't equivalent to fooling fate."
With that said, "He" grumbled, "Why don't you squat down? At my age, it'll be bad for my neck's development if I have to keep raising my head like this."
Klein didn't have the air of a newly advanced King of Angels. He squatted down with a smile, allowing Will Auceptin to look him straight in the eye.
Will Auceptin held "His" nanny's hand and said, "Unless I've advanced to Sequence 0 and become a Wheel of Fortune, fooling me in any form doesn't count as fooling fate."
Klein thought and asked, "You haven't found the opportunity to accommodate the Die of Probability?"
"No." Will Auceptin shook "His" head before adding, "I have a premonition that it's coming soon."
Klein carefully looked at the chubby two-year-old toddler for a few seconds before suddenly smiling.
"If I were to give you and the Die of Probability to Ouroboros, would 'He' quickly advance to Sequence 0?"
Will Auceptin glared at Klein and said, "He will also need to wait for an opportunity to accommodate it. Furthermore, the opportunity to become a Wheel of Fortune, and the requirement to accommodate the Die of Probability isn't the same."
As "He" spoke, Will Auceptin curled "His" lips.
"If you wish to accommodate The Fool's Uniqueness, the corresponding ritual can be simplified. It won't be that difficult.
"In such a situation, by ingeniously using the abilities of a Trojan Horse of Destiny and making a sacrifice to a certain degree, there's a chance of fooling fate.
"However, when you attempt to advance to Sequence 0, even if you accommodate the Uniqueness and absorb three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics on separate occasions, you will still have to hold a ritual, allowing the corresponding items to fuse and undergo a qualitative change."
Is that so… In other words, choosing to first accommodate the Uniqueness is just a trick, but in the end, I have to truly fool time, history, or fate… Klein nodded slightly and said, "I roughly understand."
He smiled and added, "Enjoy your childhood. I wonder how long it will last."
With that said, Klein's figure turned transparent and vanished from the lawn.
Will Auceptin's other empty hand instinctively grabbed forward before retracting it weakly.
"He left just like that… He's so rude. He actually didn't prepare a present when he visited…" the child couldn't help but mutter.
…
North Borough in Backlund. Saint Samuel Cathedral.
Klein, who had transformed into Dwayne Dantès, walked into the prayer hall and found a corner to sit down.
He looked at the Evernight Sacred Emblem on the altar, lowered his head, clasped his hands, and began to pray.
"The Evernight Goddess who stands higher than the cosmos and more eternal than eternity. You are also the Mother of Concealment, the Empress of Misfortune and Horror…"
As he prayed, Klein's body and mind gradually settled down as though he had entered a half-awake state.
After an unknown period of time, a boundless darkness appeared in front of him. Beside his feet was a clump of night vanilla and slumber flowers.
This place was so quiet that even breathing seemed to disturb those in slumber around him.
Before Klein could survey his surroundings, a figure suddenly descended from the depths of the darkness.
There was clearly no sky or land here, but the figure seemed to come from the crimson moon or the stars in the sky.
"She" was wearing a long, layered black dress that didn't seem complicated at all. It was adorned with countless resplendent lights, as though the starry night sky had been draped upon it.
"Her" head was indistinct and difficult to discern. He could only confirm that it was a female.
"Long time no see," the figure said gently before Klein spoke.
"Her" voice was like a lullaby.
Klein bowed in a gentlemanly manner and said, "Is this directed at the former Lord of the Mysteries, or me who was previously hung above Sefirah Castle?"
Klein was very certain that this was a dream, but a dream didn't mean that it was fake.
The Evernight Goddess's projection said with a smile, "I'm not sure where you were hanging above that door of light. After I left, I never went back again."
Indeed… Klein sighed inwardly. From the details, he confirmed the origins of the Evernight Goddess Amanises.
"The three cocoons of light that tore open were side by side," he replied simply.
The Evernight Goddess's projection was silently floating in the darkness, giving off a surreal feeling.
"She" said softly, "The people there were all candidates meant for the Lord of the Mysteries's revival, but due to some unknown incident, "He" lost control of many things.
"If it wasn't for that, I would've died long ago, and lived with the identity of the Lord of the Mysteries. Then, you and Roselle wouldn't have had the chance to return to reality."
This means that the death of the Celestial Worthy is more thorough. "He" can only rely on the will left inside the Beyonder characteristic and the mechanical arrangements of Sefirah Castle to revive? Klein sighed and smiled.
"I can already hear 'Him' whispering into my ears."
