"I'm fine."
Klein nodded and replied. He looked around and did not find the "Mirror Person" of Angel. He realized that the "switching" between the two was similar to the switching of Marionette and the main body, except that part of it was located in "Mirror World" and part of it was located in reality.
Just now Angel apparently solved Historical Void Image of Zarathus in the closed Mirror World, and then exchanged it with Mirror Person in reality, and then suddenly showed different attitudes and actions.
"Your 'Mirror Person' has been here just now, um, protecting me. She is indeed as you said, a kind and gentle person."
Looking back to Angel, Klein added after consideration.
He didn't know how "Mirror Person" knew about the connection between himself and "Fool", and why he didn't tell Angel and kept it a secret for him, but since Angel hadn't guessed the relationship yet, he could only continue to hide it...
This is not because he deliberately deceived Angel for reasons such as profit, but that now, he can no longer say that he is "Fool".
When he thought that he was not even Beyonder, he talked about "an attempt", acted as a middleman between Tarot Club people, and used Roselle's Diary's knowledge to pretend to be God, Klein's past "taking photos" with Mr. Azik, Will Auceptin and other Angel made Klein want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Of course, you can't drill too deep, otherwise you may face the terrifying pollution underground...
Fortunately, Angel only nodded slightly when he heard this. He even smiled when he heard Mirror Person's "gentleness" and did not ask about the details of the conversation between Klein and Mirror Person during his battle.
In front of the two of them, Historical Void Image, which had been burned to coke by Zarathus, had completely dissipated. This false product of Historical Void would not leave anything useful after death, just like the fake coffee that the two of them had drank.
But out of that mist, several groups of things with different shapes, but all exuding different colors and dangerous auras, fell out. They fell on the beach and rolled everywhere, attracting the attention of the two people.
One of them exuded a sense of majesty, and the six-sided crystal with golden light surging inside made Angel feel familiar. She immediately recognized it as the Beyonder Characteristic of "Disciplinary Paladin", which was the same as the one she had never been able to sell and left to "Judgment" Xio Derecha.
This means...
"I didn't expect that after 'Saint Tenebrous' Marionette was snatched away by Zarathus's Historical Image, those characteristics were lost and returned to us..."
Klein also said with emotion that he recognized the characteristics of "Faceless" and "Hypnotist", and the others naturally belonged to "Black Knight", "Shaman King" and other Saint Tenebrous himself or his Grazing's soul.
Obviously, after the Historical Void Image summoned by Zarathus and belonging to a certain moment in his past died, the Marionette he snatched also died completely, and the remaining Beyonder Characteristic, perhaps because of his higher-level "control" or the difference between Mirror World and reality, quickly separated and appeared in front of the two of them.
Klein's original purpose of venturing away from Backlund was actually achieved by mistake.
Picking up the only harvest tonight, Angel and Klein held hands together, using "Creeping Hunger" Teleportation to return to Backlund and back to the apartment where East Borough lived.
Although Zarathus used some method this time to Distortion Klein Teleportation's destination and let him fall into a trap, but it showed that he He simply didn't dare to do anything in this city, so Backlund, who had the protection of Evernight Goddess and Lord of Storms, was still the safest place for Klein.
"... This attack is obviously just a test by Zarathus, otherwise he would not come alone, but would bring other helpers. At least the escaped Medici evil spirit may cooperate with him again and use 'Yesterday Once More' to temporarily restore Sequence 1's strength..."
Sitting back on the single sofa, Angel threw the characteristics of "Black Knight", "Shaman King" and "Disciplinary Paladin" on the coffee table. He didn't even look at these amazingly valuable Beyonder Characteristic, but stared at Klein and said seriously.
"The purpose of His test is to confirm the current status of Evernight Goddess and the degree of protection you receive... Obviously, Goddess is currently unable to provide substantial help, at least not in places other than Backlund. And the other existence, Mr. 'Fool', does not seem... to be of any help this time."
Her words were like a heavy hammer hitting Klein's heart, reminding him of the warning of "Mirror Person" again.
After all, the trap he stepped into in the past few minutes and the chase in Historical Void can be regarded as the biggest crisis Klein has faced recently. And just like the time when Adam and Amon set up an ambush to catch Klein, Mr. "Fool" did not provide any useful help.
This seems extremely abnormal to Angel, who has become Sequence 2, and Angel, who has some guesses about the boundaries of Sequence's top power.
Even she can project her power to believers and loved ones in the distance when she is prepared, let alone Mr. "Fool" who is God?
If this being is God from an ancient era, and his power has not yet been restored, then why did he repeatedly promise to provide shelter before taking action?
This is quite inconsistent with His steady style.
Fortunately, Angel was reminded by "Mirror Person" before, and Klein had prepared several explanations that seemed reasonable and difficult to falsify in these few minutes. For example, Mr. Fool was dealing with " The peek of "True Creator" allowed both parties to carry out the operations against "Mystic Saint" and "Saint Tenebrous" smoothly. For example, the pollution of "Box of the Great Old Ones" was very serious, and it took him a while to deal with it...
But looking at Angel's clear eyes, these explanations lingered in his mind for a long time, and he couldn't say any of them.
Because after "Mirror Person" pointed out his identity, he continued to defend himself against his will, which was tantamount to actively deceiving Angel, instead of avoiding the conversation before.
Trying his best to control his expression with the ability of "Faceless", countless thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, and finally he blinked in front of Angel's indifferent expression with a hint of smile, and said:
"Actually, I..."
"It seems that Mr. 'Fool' may be guarding against the intervention of 'True Creator', so he cannot help us."
Angel's sudden smile and words blocked Klein's words.
At this moment, he himself didn't know whether he intended to deceive Angel when he spoke just now, or whether he just admitted that he was "Fool".
But Angel's smiling eyes and gentle tone made Klein understand that the other party was really suspicious, but finally decided not to force himself, but to wait for himself to choose the right time to take the initiative to explain everything.
When Angel and Klein went to the sea, because of Adam's words and they were confused about their identity as "travelers", before killing Ince Zangwill, when he heard the other party's words of accusation against Angel, Klein did the same. At this time, Angel returned this tenderness to him.
In fact, telling her the truth is nothing, at most it is a social death, but her "Mirror Person" deliberately warned me, but it made me hesitate... Could it be that only by being promoted to Sequence 2 can we truly grasp the power of "Sefirah Castle", and then is the best time for a showdown?
The words "Mirror Person", who looked and dressed exactly the same as Angel, but had a completely different tone and expression, appeared in Klein's mind again. The sentence "I am Fool" finally failed to blurt out, but said hesitantly:
"Your Mirror Person said that my path to promotion is at Forsaken Land of the Gods, and to enter there, I need to 'turn into a corpse'... Do you have any clues?"
Turn into a corpse...Angel's thoughts were immediately attracted by this question. She frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she guessed:
"Use your power of 'resurrection'? Well, for example, sacrifice your body to...Mr. Fool, and then give Tarot Club's 'Sun' from Him, and then you can be resurrected..."
I think so too. According to the recovery speed when I "resurrected" last time, there should be two more opportunities for this kind of resurrection. If I can actually enter "Forsaken Land of the Gods", it doesn't matter if I use it once, but the biggest problem is probably who will come after I die. Responsible for receiving the "sacrifice", Worm of Spirit can do it for me, but if I die, they will die too... The more Klein thinks about it, the more likely it is that this method will succeed, but the "death" method may need to be modified.
I'm afraid that after I die, I will find that my body cannot be sent to the sealed continent, and I will waste a precious opportunity for resurrection...
He turned and said:
"I will test Goddess's attitude to see if I can get clues about 'Demonic Wolf' from him. If he also acquiesces to my behavior of entering 'Forsaken Land of the Gods', it means so It's better than staying at Backlund. If He thinks Amon is a bigger threat than Zarathus, maybe I can only try Church of Storms again."
"I will also go to 'Mirror Person' and ask for details."
Angel nodded and added.
After ending this topic, the expressions of both Angel and Klein softened, and the two communicated for a while. Angel put away the various Beyonder Characteristic left by "Saint Tenebrous", and passed Mirror World left the apartment, and Klein followed Teleportation to the vicinity of Saint Samuel Cathedral. However, he did not enter the church directly. Instead, he used illusion magic to cover his figure in the secluded alley behind the church, and walked four steps backward to reach Gray Fog.
This time, he did not sit in the high-backed chair "Fool", but came to the opposite position of "The World" at the end of the long table.
Looking around the empty and magnificent palace, he sighed slightly.
"Although I got 'Box of the Great Old Ones' this time, as long as I complete the transaction with Abraham, I will get the characteristics of 'Planeswalker', but the journey to the stars seems to be more dangerous than I imagined. Angelica's Mirror Person even gave the conclusion that it is equivalent to death... Is 'Miracle Invoker' my only choice?
