The Klein that appears on the "Fool" seat is both the real one and not the real one. His body is still "sleeping". Although this state is different from the deep sleep state imagined by most God, Angel, and Tarot Club members, unable to respond to the prayers of the outside world. It is just a disguise, but it is not possible to break away from sleep at any time and leave the Azure-Black Light Door that is located above Sefirah Castle at Gray Fog. His usual external communication relies on the "Arodes's Mirror" among Historical Void on the long bronze table. The expressions he only shows in the mirror to Angel are almost all from Klein himself, not the submissive Arrodes. But what revealed his original appearance at this moment was just a special "Worm of Spirit". A complete "Lord of Mysteries" can deal with multiple "Great Old One" without restraint. It is precisely because of the use of Marionette, clones, flashes and other abilities and corresponding concepts and symbols, and that "Celestial Worthy" can show signs of recovery in the bodies of multiple "Sefirah Castle" three Pathway Angel. It is also because of this symbol that none of the King of Angel of Fourth Epoch dares to become a god. The Worm of Spirit left behind in Gray Fog can directly carry its own complete consciousness without affecting the sleeping body. It is Klein that is about to accommodate "Sefirah Castle" and has been able to use some of the symbols of "Lord of Mysteries" to prove that the body in Sefirah Castle is him, and any Worm of Spirit outside can also become him at any time, and it is not a clone, but an existence infinitely close to the body. Because of this, Angel, who has become "half Great Old One", can enter Gray Fog without hindrance, without being instinctively resisted or even counterattacked by Sefirah Castle. If it is just an ordinary Worm of Spirit, it can pull in at most Spirit Body of True God level, as well as those who have not contacted Sefirah in advance. Of course, after several divine battles, those who had not been exposed to Sefirah to prepare for becoming Great Old One were left with only three "Lord of Storms", "God of Wisdom" and "Earth Mother". After his consciousness was completely integrated into this container that was both a clone and a body, Klein glanced at the appearance and had some changes from the last time they met. It was obvious that the second copy of "Chariot" with the characteristics of "Conqueror" had been accommodated. After Miss, his eyes stayed on Angel and asked with a smile, "Have you solved 'Malevolent Dragon'?" Angel nodded. "With the help of those Dao Integrator from the Western Continent, and the countless martyrs who sealed Calamity one after another, this matter is not difficult." Klein, who had already been able to communicate simply with Dao Integrator through the Western Continent seal during the process of accommodating "Sefirah Castle", also heard about the situation under Dragon Locking Well, and did not dwell on the details, but asked, "Where's 'City of Calamity'?" Angel leaned back in his chair and answered in a relaxed tone, "I originally wanted to say that it was very difficult. Many Mental Imprint of Sefirah Dao Integrator were mixed into me, almost making me immersed in the memories of wine ponds and meat forests, beacon fire dramas, and burning books and humiliating scholars... But with you and the anchor of other believers, I still allowed me to maintain myself and accommodate the power of Sefirah. "Unfortunately, this is not the real 'Calamity of Destruction' yet. I need to accommodate 'Red Priest', Uniqueness, and at least one copy of Sequence 1 Characteristic, so that I can use this as a cornerstone to fully reveal the personality and symbol of Sefirah and become the Great Old One of Above the Sequence. "And even if I become 'Calamity of Destruction, Origins of Disaster', I can only be regarded as the most common grade Great Old One, which is the same as Supernova Dominator and Mother Tree of Desire, and lower than the Pillar grade Great Old One like 'Mother Goddess of Depravity'." This is not to say that Angel does not have the confidence to fight "Mother Goddess of Depravity" head-on. After part of the opponent's Sefirah and symbols are torn apart, apart from being higher in rank than ordinary Great Old One, the combat power may not be any higher than Outer Deity such as "Primordial Hunger" and "Supernova Dominator". The most important problem is that ordinary Great Old One cannot really open the Western Continent seal set by "Celestial Worthy". Not only Angel cannot, but also ordinary Great Old One who have been waiting for the barrier to break and enter the earth. In this matter, it has nothing to do with special symbols and authority. The difference between them is the person. There are also different levels of Above the Sequence, and there are also differences between Great Old One. The highest level is naturally the Original Creator who created everything. He represents the beginning and the end, Chaos and the ultimate, and is naturally in an unstable state of continuous cycles of aggregation and division. The next level are "Mother Goddess of Depravity", "Celestial Worthy" and "God Almighty". They control reality, Spirit World and Astral World respectively. They are the Pillar of this world. Although the latter two have fallen in the battle, their spirit is immortal and their will will last forever, and they are always planning for resurrection. The rest are the "Great Old One" who have Sefirah and mastered the corresponding Pathway. Their combat effectiveness is not much lower than that of the Pillar class Great Old One. Even if the quality is not enough, the quantity is far more than the three Pillar, but they lack the key symbol to maintain the universe. And because of this gap in levels, even "Pillar" cannot break the barrier left by Original Creator, and can only wait for it to disappear on its own, or find ways to weaken it; while the ordinary "Great Old One" has nothing to do with the seal created by the Celestial Worthy with the symbol of "Dominator of the Spirit World", unless "Mother Goddess of Depravity" or Lord of the Astral World "God Almighty" who grasps reality takes action. Of course, after knowing the existence of "Fourth Pillar", Angel believed that if she could cooperate with "Eternal Darkness", the Great Old One, and use the power of the two Sefirah simultaneously, she should be able to break or at least severely damage the seal, allowing other Great Old One to take out the sealed Sefirah, but this has a prerequisite, Evernight Goddess must get "River of Eternal Darkness". For example, only those who have graduated from college are eligible to go to college... If you use the symbol of "Mirrored Original Creator", you may be able to destroy the seal, but it may also cause the barrier to fail prematurely, and even cause Apocalypse in the entire universe to only be used as the final Intimidation method... Angel cursed, seeing Klein lost in thought, and asked instead, "What about you? You should have gained something after sleeping above us for more than a year, right?" As she said that, she pointed to the high door where Azure-Black Light Door was surrounded by Gray Fog. It was a wonder that only Klein and her with Klein's "permission" could see. Even if Tarot Club members were holding a meeting here, they couldn't see through this layer of fog. This is essentially a protective measure, otherwise just looking directly at the essence of "Sefirah Castle" will be harmed or even contaminated. After hearing Angel's teasing questions, Klein also habitually assumed a comfortable posture and explained everything while he was "sleeping": "After I was promoted to 'Fool' and Sefirah Castle was invaded by Amon, my condition was actually better than I imagined. After all, that 'Blasphemer' gave up everything in the end and did not challenge me with Dual Pathways God like the person in the other Timeline and severely damaged me." As he spoke, he looked at the "Chariot" Gray further away. The information brought by the latter was the key to changing everything and creating the current situation. Watched by him and Angel, Gray recovered from the lazy position of supporting his head with one hand and lying on the table, and smiled awkwardly like a poor student who was called out in class. After getting along with each other for many days and receiving a lot of favors from "Fool", she no longer has the inexplicable hostility towards Klein as she did when Oldest One appeared. Looking back, Klein continued, "Originally, after stabilizing my own condition, I was supposed to fight against the resurrected consciousness of 'Celestial Worthy' while trying to accommodate Sefirah Castle, and finally master Adjacent Pathways and become 'Lord of Mysteries'. This has some risks, but it is what I have to do." Otherwise, when the barrier is broken, the seal of the Western Continent may not be able to be opened. At that time, the earth will have no possibility to fight against Outer Deity, and "Mother Goddess of Depravity" can crush the seal with its own personality and release Sefirah. It will be a feast of cosmic wonders. Unfortunately, no one on earth has the opportunity to attend... Angel sighed in his heart. "Fortunately, the compromise of Amon means that I don't need to take the risk of relaxing the suppression of Celestial Worthy's consciousness, destroying my own balance, and entering a deep sleep to maintain my state," Klein continued with a smile on his lips, "And the most critical point is the compromise of 'Celestial Worthy' itself." As early as when Klein and Amon had "secret talks" on Gray Fog, the Celestial Worthy made concessions due to changes in "God Almighty". Not only did Klein become more stable after being promoted to "Fool", it also released some of Sefirah Castle's permissions, allowing him to face Amon as a single Pathway True God. All this is to prevent the other Pillar-level Great Old One who fell with him from being truly resurrected. In terms of interfering with the other party and allowing the other party to continue Slumber Charm, the two Pillar's strategies are surprisingly consistent: Even if you don't live, you can't let the other person live first! This led to the plan of Grisha and Amon. Both "God Almighty" and "Celestial Worthy" gave up the chance of resurrection and continued to lie dormant. They were even willing to take one step back and then another step to give "Fool" Klein and "True Creator" Grisha the opportunity to be promoted to Great Old One in the short term. In this "agent" competition, as long as Great Old One on your side appears first, your own consciousness will have a chance to recover first, and then defeat and dismantle the opponent's resurrection container, winning this contest that started before Original Creator woke up. They don't have to worry about Klein and Grisha suppressing their status and not being promoted to Great Old One, because Apocalypse is so close. When the barrier breaks down and Outer Deity invades, the earth without "Lord of Mysteries" and "God Almighty" will also have a dead end. In addition to competing with God Almighty, another reason why Celestial Worthy compromised was that it saw the possibility of the revival of "Original Creator". This possibility has existed since the split of the Great Existence who created everything. It is also a possibility that Celestial Worthy and God Almighty saw after accommodating more Sefirah when fighting each other. In order to prevent Sefirah and Beyonder Characteristic from gathering more Together, the spirit and will of Creator were completely awakened. They fought the final battle with each other in tacit understanding, and both died after leaving behind the resurrection and the means to hinder the resurrection of the other party. This also ended the possibility of Beyonder Characteristic gathering more on them. Otherwise, as long as one of the Celestial Worthy, which already accommodates "Sefirah Castle", "Nation of Disorder", and "River of Eternal Darkness", and the God Almighty, which accommodates "Chaos Sea", "Tenebrous World", and "City of Calamity", wins, it will instinctively continue to accommodate more Sefirah, leading to the awakening of Original Creator. That would mean the destruction of the existing world and the birth of a new world and a new order. In that new universe, no living being can exist except Original Creator, not even Pillar. For Celestial Worthy, this is the same result as God Almighty being resurrected but not being resurrected. Competing with Klein for the dominance of "Lord of Mysteries", even if Celestial Worthy compromises and gives up now, from a millennium or ten thousand years scale, He with the immortal spirit will be the final Winner. But if "God Almighty" is resurrected first, or if the resurrection of Original Creator leads to the universe Reboot, he will completely lose hope of returning. Driven by two reasons, Celestial Worthy finally made a concession. Klein was able to gradually master "Sefirah Castle" without dragging the other party into a deep sleep, and had the foundation to accommodate Adjacent Pathways to become Great Old One. Compared with the history of Timeline brought by Gray, it is undoubtedly a more favorable state for Klein. Of course, no matter how Celestial Worthy compromises, it is much more difficult for Klein to accommodate Sefirah than other ordinary Great Old One. Whether it is the "City of Calamity" accommodated by Angel or the "River of Eternal Darkness" that Goddess is already in contact with, its internal consciousness has been destroyed in the battle between Celestial Worthy and God Almighty. The new consciousness is weaker and has become more peaceful and docile through the efforts of the Western Continent generations of Dao Integrator. Even an existence like "Malevolent Dragon", which was endowed with more thoughts of conquest and destruction by Dao Integrator, cannot compare with Celestial Worthy and God Almighty. Moreover, when Angel defeated the opponent and accommodated Sefirah, there was help from Celestial Master, Celestial Thearch and other heroes who sacrificed themselves in Dao Integrator and Western Continent, but Klein could only rely on itself. What he faced was Pillar, one of the personality aspects of Original Creator. Therefore, now that Angel can easily accommodate "City of Calamity", Klein is still one step away from truly accommodating "Sefirah Castle". "... In short, as 'Church of the Fool' has more and more anchors, and as my most important anchor, you have become more stable and your status has gradually improved, I have reached a certain tacit understanding with that Celestial Worthy. At least until the end of Apocalypse, he is willing to stay asleep and not interfere with me more." Klein said, putting one hand on the long bronze table and tapping his index finger continuously, making Angel seem to see "Seer" Klein in the Tingen period, but the other party's somewhat hazy expression after being indifferent to Gray Fog made Angel feel like he was looking directly at the mysterious "Fool". I'm afraid it wasn't easy for him to reach an agreement with Celestial Worthy. After accommodating "City of Calamity" and Malevolent Dragon, I also learned that promotion to "Great Old One" is essentially a process of integrating one's own consciousness and spirit into it. No matter how smooth it is, it is inevitable to mix in some ingredients that are not originally one's own. The difference is only in the proportion... She suddenly felt a little tired and asked in a low tone, "There is a deal and a tacit understanding, and naturally both parties have to pay some price. What does Celestial Worthy want from you?" "His limit is that 'Original Creator' cannot be born, and the same goes for 'Primordial God Almighty' who competes with him. He has not made any more demands. After all, as long as I become Great Old One, part of his spirit and consciousness will be inherited. There is no need to worry about being unable to be resurrected..." Klein's finger tapping on the table stopped in the air and explained, "In addition, he also revealed the existence of 'Fourth Pillar'." So, the bottom line of Celestial Worthy is that he will not really die, and Primordial God Almighty cannot be resurrected before him? Presumably Grisha has similar requirements to God Almighty... The matter of Fourth Pillar "Ancient Sun God" has been researched, but it is difficult to say whether it was caused by the arrangements and hints of God Almighty. It seems that both Pillar are worried about the birth of "Fourth Pillar" that symbolizes destruction and Apocalypse... Angel thought for a moment and reminded, "There is no guarantee for this tacit understanding. He may go back on his word at any time, unless he has the strongest 'Notary' as a guarantee, or makes an oath in front of Genie, but the former is already 'True Creator' Grisha, and the God Almighty in his body has no way of guaranteeing Celestial Worthy. The latter will probably hide back in '0-05' after hearing this, and will not appear again in a hundred years..." Klein nodded and said, "I will pay attention to this, and there is not much room for manipulation in this kind of thing. He and God Almighty Intimidation each other, and the existence of Apocalypse may also spawn Original Creator within the barrier. He has no reason to deceive me on this matter. "Furthermore, even Outer Deity can't avoid Celestial Worthy's bad character. Even if he wants to cooperate, no one is willing to believe him. " Thinking of how Genie thought he would behave when facing Celestial Worthy, Angel smiled. Seeing her smile again, Klein also relaxed her body and said: "For more than a year, I have relied on you to maintain Tarot Club and spread my faith. Although it's a bit outrageous to say this, I still thank you for your hard work. " Although he can communicate with Arrodes and Angel, allowing Worm of Spirit to receive prayers and respond to external events, Angel has to pretend to be indifferent and in poor condition, maintain the Astral World barrier, and develop "The End Church" and "Church of the Fool", which is equivalent to splitting himself into two God, which still makes Klein feel a little emotional. Looking at him with soft eyes, the smile on Angel's lips became more obvious: "Is it just a verbal thank you? "I just accommodated 'City of Calamity'. I was affected by the malicious influence of Malevolent Dragon and those Dao Integrator. I have nowhere to release my desire for destruction. I have to kill at least one True God to alleviate it." Hearing this, Klein felt a chill on both sides of his waist and back at the same time, and his sitting posture immediately straightened up. "Ahem——" The Gray in the "Chariot" seat couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly. ———— In the city of the Western Continent that originally overlapped with "City of Calamity", a shadow that was exactly the same as this metropolis quickly appeared, and then disappeared like a broken mirror. The completely destroyed Bansy Harbor, the depths of Fourth Epoch Trier, and other locations that were eroded by the leaked power of "City of Calamity" also simultaneously heard the sound of shattering glass. At this moment, all Demoness and Red Priest Pathway's Angel felt a trembling fear in their hearts. Other Pathway's Angel, especially those with "prophecy" and "divination" powers, had a premonition that the world's Apocalypse was about to come. And in the deepest part of Mirror World that no one can see, the shadow in the mirror of City of Calamity, which is contained by "Conqueror" Gray, and Western Continent, which is in reality and the real Sefirah, have exchanged places with each other across the seal of Celestial Worthy. Overlapping with that metropolis is no longer the source of Catastrophe that intermittently devours living people or releases flying heads, headless corpses and bloated daughters, but a false Mirror City. Outside the seal, at the bottom of the world that connects all mirrors, a real "City of Calamity" appears. Through the authority and symbol of Mirror Ruler, as well as the connection after accommodating Sefirah, Angel exchanged this Sefirah with the corresponding image and pulled it out of the seal!
