Before this battle to prevent George III from becoming a god, Klein imagined the situation when facing various enemies, such as Zarathus, such as Amon, or "Angel of Imagination" Adam.
Among them, this one has already obtained three copies of Sequence 1 Characteristic and "Visionary" Uniqueness. As long as he waits for the trend of the times to change according to his ideas and then takes Potion, he can become True God. King of Angel is the most difficult to deal with.
After all, "Spectator" Pathway is keen on hiding in the dark and controlling the situation through hints, Hypnosis and "arrangements" with magical power. The most terrifying thing is that the arranged target is often unable to detect the problems. It is not until he falls into the trap and achieves the purpose of "Spectator" that he realizes it and regrets it endlessly.
But even when Klein and Angel used the power of "Mr. Fool" to prevent Adam from prying at the mention of their names, in Grey Fog Space's wildest imagination was that Adam personally helped George III and "arranged" the various attacks on the tomb to fail due to various coincidences.
After all, as the son of Ancient Sun God, King of Angel is trying to resurrect this being. Adam is naturally hostile to the then "Wind Angel" Leodoro and the current "God of Storms". As long as he dares to get close to Backlund, even if he appears in a nearby mausoleum, he may be directly descended from the gods.
So now in Grey Fog Space who belongs to "Fool", I saw this Priest with a warm expression and clear eyes at the party venue of Tarot Club, which made Klein's brain fall into a state of shock for a while, and no thoughts or thoughts could function.
This is different from when he was hunting Ince Zangwill. At that time, he discovered Adam following Anderson in advance with the help of the picture of answering prayers, prepared a response in advance, and even used the other party's plan to seek "0-08" to achieve his goal.
At this time, Klein was in the joy and excitement of successfully stopping George III. He naturally returned to Grey Fog Space, who was absolutely safe, and felt completely relaxed.
The most terrifying King of Angel appeared in front of him at this time, and the shock to him was no less than the shock he received when he had just become Demigod, walked up the stairs in Gray Fog, and saw Light Cocoon hanging on the light door.
"How... how did you get up here?"
After a long while, Klein held back a few words and let them burst out from his lips.
With the help of these words, he finally recovered some of his thinking ability, and immediately remembered the previous times when Gray Fog was "invaded".
Whether Amon's Avatar was parasitic on "Sun" Derrick and tried to sneak in here, or whether he was trying to commit suicide and divination, True God's counterattacks were all blocked by Gray Fog with some kind of self-defense mechanism. At most, he needed the help of a higher level for proper guidance.
What Eternal Blazing Sun, True Creator and even Mother Tree of Desire couldn't do, was done by Adam who has not yet become Sequence 0?
Seeing him looking at her with a dull look, Adam smiled softly, holding the silver cross on his chest with one hand and placing it on the long bronze table with the other, as if enjoying the gaze.
No, He is probably trying to eavesdrop on my thoughts and learn more about this Gray Fog... Klein suddenly woke up and immediately used the same technique he used to deal with "0-08", suppressing the important thoughts in his mind and filling it with all kinds of boring thoughts.
At the same time, he tried to mobilize Gray Fog's own power to expel the uninvited guest, but gave up after a short try.
Because neither Gray Fog itself, nor his "clutter pile" of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or even Card of Blasphemy, which was usually placed on the table, made any response to his call.
Even those Mystical Item have disappeared and may have been accepted by Adam.
This time he really lost his wife and lost his troops... No, Angel has not been lost yet... His thoughts inevitably spread in this despair.
At this moment, he saw the corners of Adam's mouth raised slightly, as if he had heard something funny.
He understood his thoughts again, this place is no longer my territory, but His... Klein cursed a few words in his mind, hoping to be heard by the other party, but suddenly he gained some insights from his own thoughts, and his eyes slowly moved towards the Crimson Star that represented the Tarot Club people and other unknown targets.
The misplaced stars, Gray Fog that don't belong to me, Card of Blasphemy and Sealed Artifact that are missing, and most importantly, I don't have the feeling of being in control of everything here... Klein has a bold idea.
"Imagination?"
he asked cautiously.
"Why do you think so?"
This time, Adam finally responded, which also gave Klein more confidence. The latter took a deep breath and continued:
"You shouldn't be able to enter the real Gray Fog, otherwise there is no need to wait until now. Instead, you can occupy and seize it when I am weaker and unable to grasp its power...
"I should have had a problem after returning to Backlund and fell into your trap. This was not a false dream, but a scene from 'Imagination', just like the island with the 'Tyrant' card."
Klein Looking back now, he left his original safe house, but did not leave East Borough. Instead, he followed his inner thoughts and found a new temporary residence. This in itself was very unsafe... I am afraid that at that time, he had already been "arranged" by Adam.
"If you think about it, it's not bad."
Adam said with a smile.
He released his hand holding the cross pendant, and with a slight wave, the "palace in Gray Fog" collapsed and disappeared like an illusion.
The two were standing in the living room of a hotel suite with a single sofa. Klein was still walking backwards with his feet crossed, as if he was about to start "Luck Enhancement Ritual".
It turns out that everything before was not all false... Klein felt a little at ease, and was considering whether to activate "Creeping Hunger" Teleportation immediately and leave, or try to summon Goddess's container in Backlund, "Mother of the Sky" Historical Image, and use the power of Intimidation descended from the gods to force the opponent to leave, when he heard Adam say in a soft tone:
"Sit down."
"OK."
Klein replied naturally and sat on a wooden chair nearby, all thoughts of resistance in his heart disappeared.
Part of the reason for this is that he thinks there is no way to escape from this King of Angel, and part of the reason is that he doesn't dare to think about whether he is being manipulated by the other party.
Fortunately, Adam did not manipulate his thoughts to do anything strange. Instead, he sat on the single sofa that was not prepared for him and said in a tone that seemed unchanging:
"George III eventually fell after the ritual failed. Loen fell into the turmoil of losing King. Intis understood the situation and stopped watching. This war will eventually sweep the entire world.
"Do you accept this ending?"
These simple words aroused Klein's thoughts, making him forget about Honorific Name who secretly recited Goddess silently, and instead fell into thinking.
The words to defend himself flashed through his mind, the experience of encouraging each other with Angel, overcoming inner obstacles and deciding to deal with George III, and the East Borough residents who fell like straw in Great Smog.
"... She and I both accept it, but will try our best to reduce the damage caused by this war."
He said with some bitterness, then his tone changed and his eyes became firm.
"But isn't this what you want? By blaming the whole thing on us, you want us to feel guilty?"
The only response to his question was the smile on Adam's face.
Seeing that King of Angel was not furious or even unresponsive, Klein immediately added:
"Before George III gave his speech, I tried to summon Quill of Alzuhod in History Void, but it is in your hands at this time. Without your consent, I am afraid that I will not be able to succeed even if I try a thousand or ten thousand times...
"This made me aware of your will. You hope that George III's death will expand the war that has eased, and let the trend of the times develop in the direction you want. During this period, you will subdue Potion and become the real 'Visionary'.
"This is the reason why I dare to use that '0' level Sealed Artifact to arrange George III, the goal that is only one step away from becoming a god.
"And you must be able to accept this ending."
By the end, Klein had woken up from the anger derived from the powerlessness in his heart, and his tone had slowed down a bit, but he still stared at Adam closely, as if he wanted to burn through his King of Angel body with his angry gaze.
But his right hand placed at his side swayed quietly, as if he was pulling something.
He wants to use the method of summoning Historical Void Image from Angel to remind the other party to pray to Goddess!
This does not even require successfully pulling out the corresponding image, as long as the other party can sense it. Although the possibility of deceiving Adam is low, it still exists.
To cover this up, feigned anger and continuous dialogue are necessary.
After hearing his accusation, Adam smiled again, nodded in agreement:
"I can indeed accept that although a new 'Black Emperor' is important in my plan, it is not necessary. Whether George III can seize this opportunity depends on himself, and his methods eventually pushed a group of people who had the ability to stop him to the opposite side...
"As for you, being able to discover the arrangement, accept the arrangement, and finally make use of the arrangement has taken the most critical step."
"So, "The Travels of Grosell" is also a part of your plan?"
Thinking of the method he used to summon "0-08" Historical Image, Klein asked.
"It and Quill of Alzuhod are both one of the means by which an ancient existence tries to return to the living world. Of course, there is no chance now.
"After this, you may encounter more similar 'resurrection methods', so be careful."
Adam's tone became serious for the first time, and his eyes were still so clear that they almost reflected Klein's figure, but they were covered with a haze.
This heavy pressure made him nod involuntarily to express his understanding.
After saying all this, Adam stood up from the single sofa, came to Klein, stretched out his right hand, and said:
"Okay, I have another purpose here, leave it to me."
It... Klein was stunned, and immediately understood. He also stood up, took out the heavy "The Travels of Grosell" that had saved his life several times from the inner pocket of his windbreaker, and put the dark brown-covered parchment book into Adam's hands.
The latter took it with a smile. Without seeing any movement from him, the travel notes shook and disappeared into thin air.
My 8,000 pounds... Klein An idea flashed through his mind, and he hid it carefully and asked with a smile:
"In this case, can I leave?"
He could feel that Adam no longer had the desire to continue communicating, and the other party had no intention of killing or Imprisonment him, so a glimmer of hope of escape gradually rose in his heart.
"That's almost it. There's one last little thing left."
Adam nodded and looked towards the door of the living room.
Squeak——
The rusty hinges made a tooth-piercing friction sound, and the door was pushed open from the outside. A man with long arms and broad shoulders slowly walked into the room and closed the door behind him.
He has a cold appearance, dark blue eyes, a large beard covering his chin, and is wearing a black trench coat. He is the last Marionette and Qonas Kilgor of Klein that was almost forgotten.
The only difference from before is that he holds a Crystal Monocle in his right eye socket.
"The rest is up to you."
Adam said to the other party with an indifferent expression, and then the figure disappeared as if it melted into the air.
With His departure, Klein's environment also changed quietly. The living room, which was poorly decorated but still had a civilized atmosphere, squirmed into simple wooden boards, the windows lost their glass and became drafty, and the noisy streets outside suddenly became deserted.
A gust of sea breeze blew in, making Klein wake up completely.
He is not in East Borough in Backlund, but on an island deep in the Berserk Sea.
