"Shortly after I opened the door of Giant King's residence, the dusk light that originally covered it changed to what it is now. This may mean that something happened to Giant King’s Court, which caused my shadow to betray me."
While Klein introduced the source of the ubiquitous midday sun, he led Angel on a detour into the depths of Giant King’s Court.
All the buildings here were not built for normal-sized humans. The huge stone towers are hundreds of meters high, each window of the magnificent palace is as spacious as Double Door, and the stairs can only be climbed using both hands and feet. It is difficult to imagine how prosperous this city full of giants was before Giant King Olmir fell.
"Later on, this round of false Sun will slant westward and turn into dusk, then Evernight, morning, entering a cycle. The unchanging 'dusk' is given changes by that power, and my shadow has fallen, Marionette Betrayed... Enyouni can also use the power of 'Storm', 'Reader' and other Pathway, which is a mixture of at least four or five different abilities, and the only connection between them is..."
"Chaos Sea." Angel took over.
"... That's right," Klein glanced at her in surprise and continued, "The power that enveloped Enyouni and incidentally affected me seemed to contain all colors, but it was Chaos nothingness. Perhaps it was the Sefirah power that valued both reality and nothingness."
The two kept communicating, walking through tall but dilapidated buildings, walking through stairwells that seemed to have experienced battles, with arrows as thick as trees stuck in them, and came to a city wall with a lot of burn marks.
"We can't move forward. There are two 'Silver Knight' guarding the gate."
Klein stopped cautiously and pointed at Double Door, who was dozens of meters above the stairs.
The heavy wooden door, which was obviously designed for the giant, was as gray-blue as the giant's skin. It was inlaid with golden nails, which had not changed color after thousands of years and were still gleaming.
I don't know if it is pure gold... Angel took a look from a distance and found that there were indeed two guards standing on both sides of the gate who were over six meters tall, wearing exquisite full-body armor, and holding Giant Axe and a big sword respectively. There was an orange-red light shining through their silver-white face armor, like a giant's single eye examining the outside world.
If they are really just "Silver Knight" of Sequence 3, Angel thinks that he can solve it alone, and it will take a little time at most, but in the quiet Giant King’s Court When started the battle, the target was the giant Silver Knight, whose every move made huge noises. She was a little worried that it would attract the attention of other powers, especially "Dark Angel" Sastiel.
Klein, who had the same idea as her, also continued:
"I tested them. As long as they don't walk up the stairs and come to the gate, the two knights will not react at all. They are not Beyonder alive, but contain Beyonder Characteristic, a device similar to a golem or a puppet.
"Leave it alone for now. After I retrieve the shadow and deal with the hidden dangers on my body, I will come here to deal with them. This way, with your help, I can turn the Silver Knights into Marionettes and let them die peacefully. I can summon them repeatedly in History Void, and Beyonder Characteristic can be sold to City of Silver in exchange for permission to borrow the '0' level Sealed Artifact, and with just a moment of contact, I can then own their Historical Image."
It's a very careful and reasonable arrangement, tsk, it's impossible to tell whether he is really Klein... Angel frowned slightly, nodded in agreement, followed Klein around the ascending stairs, and came to a rugged path from the left, with towering cliffs on one side and an invisible abyss on the other, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
Combined with the magnificent building "Giant King’s Court" above the cliff, Angel immediately found another perspective of this scene in his memory:
That was the huge palace on the other side of the clouds and mist that she and Klein saw after falling into Evernight's dream while following "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya to explore God War Ruins!
She immediately looked at the clouds and fog below the abyss, trying to find the Black Monastery and the sea that could lead to the outside world, but even with her Demoness and Hunter Dual Pathways enhanced vision, she could not break through the fog that seemed thin but was actually like solidified light, let alone find the sea surface deep in the Sonia Sea.
"Remember the adventures and discoveries back then? "Klein on the side suddenly asked, "I remember 'Queen Mystic' called the palace in the dream Giant King’s Court, and City of Silver also discovered the transition. The True Creator believer who came from the sea, the little boy Jack... maybe when we open the seal of Giant King’s Court, what we will see is the vast world of the Sonia Sea."
Hearing his words, even if he still had doubts about his identity, Angel couldn't help but imagine helping City of Silver out of Forsaken Land of the Gods, allowing them to bathe in the real Sun light and enjoy the sea breeze, and felt a little excited.
Because "Sun" Derrick had followed City of Silver Expedition Team to Giant King’s Court once before and shared the relevant experience with Tarot Club. Angel was no stranger to this trail and quickly crossed it to bury Giant King The "Decaying Forest" of's parents switched to dusk without any warning when the midday light shrouding Giant King’s Court passed by the mural depicting Giant King and his Queen and heirs. He came to a platform where he could see the orange clouds and the deep blue sea, and stood in front of the towering Giant King residence.
During this period, the giant statues used for interior decoration of Giant King’s Court were activated from time to time and launched attacks on the two intruders. This "soldier puppet" whose combat power was only equivalent to Mid Sequence Beyonder did not even need Angel to take action. They died from the violent occult plague, even though they had no flesh and blood and were not afraid of the harm of infectious diseases.
Bathed in the sunshine that makes people feel weak, as if they have walked into the dusk of life, when looking at the clouds and sea in the distance again, Angel finally discovered the difference from the fog beside the cliff below.
You can hear the sound of the waves here!
She looked out from under the huge fence and found that underneath, where the sun could not reach, was a dark beach, with dark blue waves lapping at them without making any sound.
It seems that the sound of waves comes from far away... Is the sea water in the distance real, but the beach below is illusory? In this way, even if you bypass Giant King’s Court and come to the beach, or jump directly from this high platform, you will only land on a false beach... Only by truly passing through the sleeping Giant King residence of "Dark Angel" can you leave Forsaken Land of the Gods and come into contact with the real sea?
Angel was thinking about it, and was about to exchange a few words with Klein when he suddenly felt an inexplicable attraction to her body and Spirit Body's depths coming from the other side.
She turned around and saw that opposite the railing overlooking the ocean, the tallest building in Giant King’s Court, which could be seen from the foot of the mountain, seemed to be coated with a metal shell by orange-red light, giving it an obvious sense of decay.
It has a Twin Towers shape with a spire on one side and a dome on the other side, with a gray-blue Double Door on the front. It is higher than the gate of the city wall guarded by two "Silver Knight", but it has been opened inward at this time, and the door hole is pitch black, and Angel and Dark Vision cannot see through even one centimeter.
It is exactly the same as the main building of City of Silver, only on a larger scale... Is this the door of Giant King's residence that Klein pushed open through the double isolation of Historical Image and Marionette, but was still eroded by internal forces? Angel glanced at Klein and asked:
"Want to move on?"
"No! "Klein said immediately, "There is the power inside that erodes me and takes away my shadow. If you enter rashly, you will probably encounter the same thing."
Angel was slightly surprised. In fact, she had already had doubts about the identity of the "Klein" in front of her, and she was highly suspicious of him being a shadow. However, the other party not only did not lure her to fight against Giant King’s Court's Guardians, but also prevented her from contacting the "Chaos Sea" power that could cause harm, clearing her suspicion to a certain extent.
Not sure, let's look again... She made up her mind, and just as she was about to say something, the dusk light above her head disappeared instantly like a light going out, and the entire Giant King’s Court fell into pure darkness without the light of the stars and the moon.
The next second, darkness was replaced by morning light. At the same time, below Giant King's residence, the door guarded by Silver Knight heard the sharp sound of weapons clashing and armor tearing.
Someone is breaking through the guard of "Silver Knight" head-on... Or is the betrayed Marionette "Enyouni" fighting against the City of Silver team? Angel made some guesses and looked downwards.
Next to her, Klein was thoughtful, with a faint smile on his face, which was covered in human skin and not covered by transparent worms.
"In any case, this 'schism' will soon be over."
He said in a low voice.
Giant King’s Court In front of the huge city gate, a short but fierce battle was coming to an end.
The two "Silver Knight" were soldiers who were sealed into Sequence 3 Beyonder Characteristic but had no real consciousness. They were almost mentally retarded compared to Beyonder who actually grew up in the battle. Under the plan of Klein, they quickly turned into themselves and the summoned Reinette. Although Enyouni, who arrived later, had black wings on his back, had some kind of power to "corrupt" people and objects, and could separate old and young heads, each taking one-third of their flesh and blood to become three independent Saint, he was still no match for the team of City of Silver and Klein, who worked together tacitly.
What's more, there is a real Angel among them.
The dark and evil power was restrained by "Unshadowed" Derrick, and the dragon-shaped "Spectator Saint" was restrained by "Silver Knight" Colin was seriously injured, and "Sun Saint" was attacked by "Black Knight" Lovia against his restraint, putting him at a disadvantage.
In the end, at the moment when Angel raised "Salinger’s Blood Banner", they were affected by some power that conquered everything, betrayed their true nature again, and were cut into pieces by Klein's Marionette Silver Knight's "Silver Rapier", returning to the nothingness of history.
Looking at the messy battlefield, Klein covered the left side of his face. While calming down the squirming "Worm of Spirit", he looked at Angel next to him, only to find that the other party had put away the blood-stained flag and whispered thoughtfully:
"It seems that '0-01' can restrain that kind of 'fallen' power, so that is enough..."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Klein, with a rare smile on her cold face, and continued:
"When she exists in reality, I can't move freely for a long time, and then I'll have to rely on you."
Ah, on my own, I am going to fight the "Klein" who is with Angel's body?
He looked down at his shadowless soles. Half of his body was made up of squirming transparent insects, and he didn't feel very confident.
After a while, Klein raised his head and looked at Angel, whose figure had become illusory, like a shadow in the mirror, and asked:
"Any suggestions?"
"Believe in yourself, and then, believe in her."
Mirror Person smiled brightly, but did not show any Charm power, and then disappeared in front of Colin, Lovia and others.
Before they could wonder, the fan Double Door, which had just cleared the "Silver Knight" guards, was opened from the inside before it could be opened. As the morning light poured out, two backlit figures appeared in front of the four of them.
One of them is wearing the same dark dress as Demoness Angel who disappeared just now, with long pale golden hair draped smoothly behind his back. One of them is wearing a top hat and a windbreaker. The left side of his face is a stern human face, and the right side is a squirming transparent insect.
That's another Klein and Angel.
What's going on, two Mr. "Worlds", two "Empress" Miss? Derrick's eyes that penetrated the sunlight to see the person clearly were a little confused. Colin and Lovia beside them also clenched the weapons in their hands. For a moment, they didn't know whether the person who followed them into Giant King’s Court was the real "Gehrman" or some deformed monster.
But I think this Demoness is more like the Angel I spent some time with that night... "Black Knight" Lovia's eyes briefly stayed on Angel's much gentler purple eyes. As soon as he made a subconscious judgment, a burst of crazy laughter came from his ears.
That voice came from Klein, who was always in a bad mood along the way, provoking everyone from time to time, and speaking rudely. The right side of his face, which was still in human form, was Distortion, either with anger or self-mockery, holding his abdomen with both hands, bending down and smiling.
"Haha, hahaha, you actually turned into me and you dared to appear in front of me and take her with you, huh?"
He suddenly straightened up, pointed at another Klein that was exactly the same as him except for the Distortion worm on the right half of the body, and asked frantically.
Become like him? Is this the negative impact Mr. "World" said Giant King's residence had on him when he opened it? Derrick suddenly became clear in his heart. He knew who was his teammate and who was his enemy. He raised the "Thunder God's Roar" giant hammer wrapped with lightning in his hand and headed towards another "world" that appeared from inside the royal court.
In addition to Lovia's hesitation, "Chief" Colin also raised his two swords and locked his eyes on the other Gehrman Sparrow who opened the door. Obviously, he had more trust in the one who met first and helped them defeat "Silver Knight" and Enyouni.
Facing the hostile looks of several people, the Klein next to Angel just shook his head slightly and said in a calm tone:
"It seems that your plan is to go to Afternoon Town to move reinforcements? See them before me, so that they think you are the real body, not a split shadow?
"No, maybe you really think that you are the real body in your heart. After all, you have all my memories and the way of thinking is exactly the same... But why do you think her 'Mirror Person' decisively abandoned you and returned to Mirror World instead of helping you kill my 'shadow'?
"Because she has noticed a long time ago that you are a false shadow. She accepted your summons just to prevent you from feeling too disparate in strength and escaping into the depths of Forsaken Land of the Gods because you dare not enter Giant King’s Court. Now that you have come to me, her mission is naturally over.
"Is that so?"
