Until "Chariot" Angel Gray left for a long time, Klein was still sitting on the high-backed chair belonging to "Fool" without moving.

After learning that there was another "Timeline", a world where he and Angel had not met, Klein had been imagining another's mental state and the different choices he made for the same thing.

In the follow-up conversation with Gray, he learned that even if he becomes "Fool", he will inevitably be affected by "Celestial Worthy". He is also a "Guardian" in people's eyes, a God who protects the people around him, the people he knows, and the human race and the entire earth.

But feeling what his other self was doing from a distance, Klein believed that the image of "Fool" pieced together in the eyes of the people around him was not that tall.

Because he himself is also afraid and afraid, and sometimes he wants to drop everything and hand over the burden to others.

After just preventing George III from becoming "Black Emperor", when he was caught by brothers Adam and Amon, Klein was really interested in Amon's proposal to hand over "Sefirah Castle" to the other party and become a Angel himself was very interesting. If the other party had not had a bad character and what he said was somewhat true, he might really have let go of everything on the spot.

But from the mouth of Gray, we learned that Klein of Timeline finally won the battle with Amon and became "Lord of Mysteries". At the same time, he also shouldered the important task of fighting against "Celestial Worthy" and protecting the earth until the last moment.

"Think about it carefully, I am indeed that kind of person... Someone has to do it, and it can't be left to Amon... But maybe when there is no one around, I will feel a little tired? There is no Angel next to him...

"If Oldest One had not met her, I might have been thinking about how to return to 'Earth', and then adapt to life here with the care of Melissa and Benson. Finally, I discovered the truth and felt desperate..."

Klein's voice echoed in the deserted palace, getting deeper and deeper until it disappeared in Gray Fog.

Soon, he regained his composure, lived up to the efforts of his other self, and began to think about the situation he was currently facing.

There is no doubt that the biggest threat to him within the barrier is Amon, who has become "Error". Not only did he succeed in being promoted to True God, he also obtained Mr. "Door"'s Uniqueness and one copy of Sequence 1 Characteristic, which can be seen from the fact that He only returned two copies of "Key of Stars" to the Abraham Family.

As for the ceremony to resurrect Bethel Abraham, although Klein is concerned about it, he has no intention of getting involved. This is not because he does not want to resurrect King of Angel from Fourth Epoch, but I was worried that Amon would use this incident to lure "Fool" out, so I didn't even reply immediately, but sent the message through "Magician" Miss.

Of course, Klein speculates that Amon is trying to accommodate that "Key of Stars" and the corresponding Uniqueness at this time to reach Dual Pathways True God's strength will be in the best condition to compete with Klein for "Sefirah Castle". The focus will not be on finding his traces.

"Before He takes the risk to accommodate this power, adapt to and stabilize his own state, there won't be much time left for me... Of course, other True God may also help me, and may sit back and watch the birth of a real 'Lord of Mysteries'... And there is a God who will undoubtedly stand on His side."

Talking to himself, Klein's blond hair and golden beard appeared in front of Adam's face, which seemed to be always smiling.

"Unexpectedly, Ancient Sun God Grisha never really fell. His negative humanity became True Creator, and the other part was resurrected in Adam's body. He kept this hidden until he became a god again and merged with his other half... Does Amon know that his brother has always been his father?

"Whether you knew it before or not, you definitely know it now... In other words, although Adam is on the 'Earth' side in the general direction, he will definitely work hard for his son. The suitable candidate on the other Timeline is always not as good as the 'Lord of Mysteries' who is his son...

"How much time will be left for me? Days, months, or until the barrier breaks down? Although Adam will help Amon, he should wait for me to wake up Angel first, otherwise his arrangement will be wasted. The two Pathways where 'Calamity of Destruction' is located will not have time to promote another True God...

"According to this idea, I should try to delay the time to wake up Angel, giving myself the opportunity to accommodate Uniqueness and the remaining two copies of 'Mystic Seer', becoming True God... But this can It can put Angel at a disadvantage in the confrontation in the dream world, and this is not an absolute talisman. Amon can completely win the battle for 'Lord of Mysteries'. Let me use Sequence 2 Angel or even Sequence 1's personality survives, but for Angel, I will still wake her up in the dream..."

In his soliloquy, he quickly summarized the difficulties he faced. Klein found that no matter what the attitudes of Amon and Adam were, waking up Angel quickly was still the most important thing for him to do., this way we will have one more King of Angel in charge of Sefirah, or even True God of Sequence 0, which will undoubtedly make the battle against Amon much easier.

To enter the Dream Invasion realm, you can only find the God who handed over "Fool" Uniqueness and has a very obvious tendency to take sides...

The thoughts in his mind converged, and Klein took one last look at the high-backed chair belonging to "Empress" on the left hand side. With a thought, he returned to Physical World.

In the moment of Saint Samuel Cathedral from Teleportation to Backlund North Borough, he had restored the appearance of Dwayne Dantès, holding a false cane in one hand and stuffing the real 20 pounds into the offering box with the other hand. He returned to the corner and sat down amidst the praises of the new bishop, bowed his head and recited Evernight Goddess new Honorific Name:

"Lady of Evernight and Secrecy, Empress of Misfortune and Terror..."

During this process, Klein couldn't help but feel a little confused. Goddess, who had already obtained the rights of "Death" and "Twilight Giant", seemed not eager to occupy these two Pathway, but retained God of War Church's structure, and there is no forced conversion, and "Death" has shown a certain degree of recovery, gathering its original believers and controlling "Numinous Episcopate" and other organizations, like a God who is about to return from Slumber Charm.

This resulted in Goddess's Honorific Name not having much change except for deleting the symbol of "Lady of Crimson", and "Eternal Night" symbolizes the power of "River of Eternal Darkness", which seems to mean something.

Could it be the order of accommodation... As soon as Klein had some enlightenment, he fell into a quiet state of half-asleep and half-awake while praying. An endless darkness gradually appeared in front of his eyes, and fine but not dazzling stars appeared above his head. The solid floor under his feet also turned into soil covered with Deep Sleep Flower and Night-Scented Herb.

With the revelation of the descriptions on Holy Bible, Klein knew that he had come to "Darkened Heaven". Of course, it was the one in the dream, not the real kingdom of God located in Astral World that was filling the barrier.

He had just looked around when a human-shaped figure fell from the stars above his head. Her outline was that of a woman, wearing a layered long skirt with the night sky as the background color and dotted with bright stars. Her face was difficult to see clearly, as if it was hidden by some kind of power.

"I thought you'd be more eager to come here and get help."

The woman spoke in a tone so gentle that it seemed to put people to sleep.

The image is consistent with the statue in the Tudor ruins, but it is most likely just a projection of a dream... Klein quickly looked away, bowed slightly and saluted, and then replied:

"Although this matter makes me anxious, I think we need to make more preparations for our first meeting."

The projection of Evernight Goddess said with a smile:

"Although the memories are long-lasting, this is not the first time we have met."

Sure enough, He is Third Transmigrator in "Light Cocoon"... Klein completely confirmed this guess, but still asked cautiously:

"So, you are the first?"

"Yes, everyone hanging there is the means of resurrection of 'Celestial Worthy', but his resurrection was affected by another Pillar, and many 'Error' appeared. Only then did Roselle and you appear."

Goddess replied.

"Error"... I thought of Uniqueness who clearly belonged to "Lord of Mysteries" but appeared beside Ancient Sun God inexplicably and became his son., Klein realized something, and had a deeper understanding of what Angel Gray said, that the two Pillar prevented each other from being resurrected, so he continued to ask:

"In addition to the information provided by Angel Gray, you are helping me, but also for the purpose of showing up a normal 'Lord of Mysteries'?"

The projection of Goddess nodded slightly and said:

"The recovery of that Pillar may not be everyone's Catastrophe, but it must be our Catastrophe who once stopped him. And I prefer you to the less emotionally stable Amon."

This is probably the only difference between Adam and Goddess... Klein was silent for a moment and reminded:

"Adam is Ancient Sun God Grisha, and is as much a part of Him as 'True Creator'."

After hearing this message and Adam's real name, Goddess did not show any emotional fluctuations, but said softly:

"Before the 'Vortex' project, they were integrated with each other, but unlike 'that Timeline', the Grisha Adam here is named 'Hanged Man' Lord. This and the 'Visionary' method have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they are both better than the other three, and are more conducive to Him accepting Sefirah and then reclaiming the authority of the other three Pathway."

First accommodate Sefirah... Klein was startled, thinking of his doubts just now, and immediately asked:

"Is this why you are not in a hurry to accommodate the power of Adjacent Pathways?"

Goddess nodded:

"This is the research result of that Ancient Sun God. He believes that it is the optimal order to control and accommodate Sefirah with a single Pathway True God, and then accommodate other Uniqueness, which can improve self-awareness and enhance the success rate; first become Dual Pathways True God then controls Sefirah, and then accommodates the remaining Uniqueness. It is not a bad choice; only accommodating Sefirah in the last step is the worst option."

So Goddess is not in a hurry to accommodate Adjacent Pathways, but plans to control "River of Eternal Darkness" first... Klein moved the corner of his mouth, showing an expression that was not a smile and said:

"It seems that Amon would rather choose a less good order and accommodate 'Gate' Pathway first to increase the chance of defeating me."

"That is indeed his character, but I can't predict whether his father will support this approach. After merging with each other, Adam's ideas may change, or maybe not." Goddess still said in the same tone, "As for you, with the Sequence 1 Characteristic that belongs to Antigonus has done its best as the basis. The next order of accommodation is the characteristics of Zarathus, 'Fool' Uniqueness, and then the 'Mystic Seer' that followed you away from Sefirah Castle."

The characteristic of Zarathus is used first because His will is mixed in it, which helps to fight against Mental Imprint of "Celestial Worthy". The reason why Uniqueness is not put last is because it accommodates all the characteristics. After meeting Uniqueness, it is very likely that he will become a god directly and cannot adjust his status in advance... Klein quickly understood the reason behind Goddess's suggestion, and the other party's last sentence undoubtedly pointed out something.

"Thank you for what you did when I was born."

He took off his hat and bowed, and said sincerely.

"No one wants that being to revive. At this point, even Outer Deity has the same interests as us." Goddess seemed to have a smile on his hazy face, "What are you going to do next?"

Klein answered without hesitation:

"First wake up the sleeping Angel."

The projection of Goddess nodded again and said calmly as if he had expected it:

"She fell asleep under the power of River of Eternal Darkness and could not wake up on her own unless the internal consciousness reached unity, which either meant that she defeated the Feminine Aspect of Original Creator, or the opposite.

"There's something you can do for her in this matter."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand that had been hanging by his side, spread out his slender white fingers, and floated four translucent Charm like twinkling stars in his palm.

Without asking, Klein knew that this was the "dream" Charm that sealed the power of True God. It could allow people to enter Angel's dream, causing some interference or help to her.

Looking at Charm floating towards him, Klein reached out to take it and at the same time begged:

"I would like your help in this matter."

The projection of Goddess smiled again and said:

"When you are ready, pray to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure became blurry, as if he had returned to the night sky, and the grass under Klein merged with the darkness beside him, making his vision go dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the Prayer Hall in the church. The hand holding the four Charm in the dream was a little cold, and there was a lot of information in his mind that he didn't have before.

That is about "The Anarchy, Shadow of Order", "Demon of Knowledge, Arcana of Madness" and other nine Sefirah corresponding Great Old One titles, as well as the corresponding components.

Most of them he and Angel had already deduced based on their communication with the Western Continent and the fight with Adjacent Pathways, but Goddess still kept these memories in his mind, and their meaning is self-evident:

"Know who is your friend and who is your enemy."

Phew... He breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up from the bench, faced the holy symbol of Goddess and pointed out the stars on his chest, and then left the church.

Now, his heart is extremely determined.

The familiar yet unfamiliar crimson light flashed before his eyes, and Angel Gray returned to the depths of Mirror World.

She participated in "Tarot Club" again, and it was the same "Chariot" card... She stayed there for a moment, found the direction, and quickly came to "Dream City" along Mirror Tunnel.

Because she had the permission of another Angel, she was not affected by City Law and appeared directly under the City Hall as Underground Memorial Hall.

Under the dark golden light of "Hand of Order" floating in the sky, several pieces of Sealed Artifact and Beyonder Characteristic orbited in extremely regular paths, like planets orbiting a star.

The various colors of light they emitted, and the aura that even the seal could not completely isolate, filled the entire Underground Area, making Angel Gray a little dazzled.

Before she could take a closer look, a petite figure was outlined next to her. She was wearing a long white pleated dress with lace. Her black hair was braided on both sides, surrounding the part that was hanging down, as if she was wearing a small crown. She was the governor of this city, Anne Gustav.

As soon as the latter appeared, he stared at Gray and frowned.

She could recognize that this person was not her contractor, but "Mirror Person". She moved her lips and asked:

"Where is my contractor? Isn't she awake yet?"

She still had corresponding respect for Angel, Angel Gray, who did not exist in her memory, but had helped her other self many times. She replied softly:

"Still sleeping, Klein and I will find a way."

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she immediately asked:

"Where is Rosell Gustav the Great? He may be of some help in this matter."

Anne hesitated for a moment and replied:

"Roselle has returned, but He still has many things to deal with and has not shown up for the time being. Bernadette went to see Him."

Gray nodded, showing a playful smile:

"I thought He would just go back to Intis to restore His empire."

"Some of them are the influence of pollution, and some are manifestations of his lack of security... The first thing to deal with now is his relationship with the gods, and... correcting some of his previous Error behaviors."

Anne replied slowly, his face as usual, not showing any anxiety about Roselle's resurrection.

After all, she is "Ghost Ship" who is more than 2,000 years old... But her dress is obviously much more careful than before... Angel Gray smiled and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, under the introduction of the other party, she browsed the trophies collected after the last battle with "Demoness Sect".

Because the five "Unaging" Demoness who controlled Grade 0 Sealed Artifact died and escaped, White Saint Katarina also surrendered directly, and all five Sealed Artifacts fell into the hands of the Angels of "Dream City". Now they are all temporarily sealed by "Hand of Order", waiting for further disposal.

These include the "Stern Stone Pillar" that divided the battlefield at that time and caused certain troubles for Anne and other Angel. It corresponds to the "Balancer" of Sequence 2. Its shape is an incomplete obelisk. The four black sides allow the holder to apply four Order at the same time that will not conflict with each other, such as balancing the battlefield situation, such as prohibiting certain behaviors.

"Eye of God" is formed from the "Wisdom Angel" characteristics of White Tower Pathway Sequence 2. It is a forehead ornament inlaid with eye-shaped diamonds, which allows the wearer to gain insight into the target's strengths and weaknesses, and simulate corresponding abilities that do not exceed the Angel personality.

"Setting Sun Rooster" corresponds to "Hanged Man" Pathway Sequence 2's "Profane Presbyter" is a three-headed rooster carved from stone but with living characteristics. Its three heads can use each other's words and actions to exert negative influence, induce the target's corruption, or give the user many of the enhanced abilities of "Hanged Man" Pathway.

"Love's Dread" is Sealed Artifact, which was voluntarily handed over by Katarina and belongs to the characteristics of "Catastrophe" Demoness. Its appearance is a glass ring with crystal spikes, which can make the holder Charm A creature with the Angel personality, or Catastrophe that brings destruction to everything.

"Tamara's Ever-changing Card" is a relic of "Planeswalker". It looks like a gorgeous card inlaid with diamonds. There is no pattern on both sides. Instead, it will randomly show different effects in battle, damaging the enemy and strengthening itself. In addition, it can also allow the holder to "flash" that ignores most seals and barriers, and imposes the Anti-Divination counter-prophecy "Secret Keeping" on himself and the holder.

In addition to these shining or twisting Sealed Artifact, the dark gold ribbon of "Hand of Order" also contains a copy of "Catastrophe" Demoness's Beyonder Characteristic is a relic left behind after the death of "Blue Witch" Esther, who could not escape and was resurrected because Mirror World was destroyed.

According to Angel Gray's speculation, if these five Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts are lost, "Demoness Sect" actually no longer has the Angel level of Sealed Artifact.

In addition, they also lost one "Catastrophe" Demoness and one "Unaging" Demoness in the battle, and also lost their biggest supporter "Primordial Demoness" Cheek. It can be said that the entire sect has been destroyed.

In view of the fact that Apocalypse is approaching, and the digestion process of "Unaging" is extremely long, every Demoness Angel are all valuable combat power. Angel Gray is ready to let "Purple Witch" who claims to believe in "Chaos Demoness" and will not work hard for Cheek Eugina went to the headquarters of the Demoness Sect and persuaded the surviving sect members to surrender. Even if they committed many evil deeds, the most they could do was report to the official Beyonder, there was still hope of survival.

And the fate that awaits those Demonesss who are unwilling to surrender is death.

This can avoid to the greatest extent Demonesss who have more or less the blood of Cheek from trying to resurrect that True God. Although three copies of "Apocalypse" characteristics and Uniqueness is in the hands of Angel, but Mental Imprint of Cheek has also been preserved, and it is possible that it can be resurrected in a descendant like Death.

Of course, all disposals must wait until the other Angel wakes up... Gray was thinking and suddenly noticed another figure appearing next to him.

It was Gerdruff Amon who had a slightly bulging belly under his formal attire and wore a monocle on his right eye.

Seeing his gaze, Gray smiled and said:

"I thought you would like that new body. After all, 'Unaging' Demoness can live for thousands of years."

Ignoring the sarcasm in his words, Amon pushed up the glasses in his eye sockets and said:

"'Orange Witch' can use Mirror World to quickly travel to anywhere without dying completely. It is indeed a useful body, so I have kept it. If you need the 'Unaging' property, you can come and get it at any time."

Gray shook his head, glanced at Anne, which made the latter's expression become serious, and then said:

"That characteristic is not the point. I am just curious, when did you come into contact with the main body and steal '0-02' and '0-05'?"

Adam's plan did include using "Vortex" to resurrect the contaminated Emperor Roselle, but the former governor of "Dream City", Gerdruff Amon, who claimed to have no connection with the main body, stole two important Sealed Artifact, which was not what Angel Gray expected.

In particular, this Sequence 3 "Deception Tutor" stole the Level 0 Sealed Artifact of the "Orange Witch" who was also Sequence 3. His method of replacing the opponent's destiny was too skillful, and it was obvious that he already possessed the power of the "Trojan of Destiny".

Being stared closely at by the two Angel, the somewhat fat Amon smiled and said:

"About half a year ago."

That was not long after World War ended, after Klein was promoted to "Miracle Invoker"... Angel Gray thought about it and asked more and more vigilantly:

"So, do you still have your own will?"

"I answered 'yes', would you believe it?" Amon's Avatar smiled again, his eyes slightly narrowed behind the lenses, "In any case, after the consciousness of this clone returned to the original body, it also had a certain impact on all Amon. This is considered a variable, and perhaps it was expected by our father."

"I'm here just to send two messages.

"First of all, no matter what the outcome of the internal battle is, the appearance of 'Lord of Mysteries' is necessary. Compared to the 'Fool' who has experienced failure, don't you think I am a better candidate?

"Secondly, because of the influence of Goredolf, we decided to have a fair battle in the fight for 'Sefirah Castle'. Your 'Fool' doesn't need to worry about other problems."

It means "no harm to the family"... Is it because with the support of Grisha Adam, he is confident to defeat "Fool" head-on? While Gray was thinking, the Amon clone in front of him asked again:

"Also, I'm a little curious, what kind of person am I in your 'memory'?"

This question made Angel Gray silent. It was not until Amon's hopeful eyes changed slightly that he answered:

"I'm not very familiar with 'Error' Amon. I only know that he failed in the battle between gods, but did not completely fall... But when the barrier disappeared, 'Angel of Redemption' Amon stood in front of those Outer Deity in order to buy time."

Having said that, she did not look at the two Angel again, but stepped directly into the Mirror World and disappeared into the Memorial Hall with various Sealed Artifact and mixed characteristics.

Continuously sinking along the red and black Mirror Tunnel, passing through the "War Fog" that isolates everything, Angel Gray returned to City of Calamity.

In the middle of the lonely street where she spent most of her time, there was a wooden single bed without any decoration.

Lying on the bed was Angel Granger, wearing a black dress with neat blond hair and a calm expression. Her eyes were closed and her hands were resting on her belly, just like Princess who was sleeping.

Angel Gray landed beside the bed, squatted down and stroked the other person's long, silky hair, and sighed slowly.

PS: Still the two-in-one...
