Without a sound, Klein vanished before Angel, leaving behind only a wisp of grayish-white mist that rapidly dissipated.
It resembled the mist that shrouded everyone during the Tarot Club's weekly gatherings, and Angel sensed something familiar about it.
After the Dark Angel evil spirit pointed it out, she understood that it was the aura of the Sefirah known as Sefirah Castle.
One of the nine source qualities, it had once belonged to the Blessing of the Primordial Yellow Celestial Worthy. Its power had been used to isolate the Western Continent from the other regions and seal the seven source qualities apart from itself and the Chaos Sea.
The answer to why the Dark Angel could see Sefirah Castle's aura on Klein was already apparent.
It had to do with Mr. Fool, who resided above the gray fog, regularly convened the Tarot Club, and treated Klein somewhat differently. Based on Angel's earlier conjectures, he was very likely an ancient god who had once been Sequence 0 of the Seer pathway, but had perished or fallen in rank for some reason and was gradually recovering his power.
Then what was Klein, who bore the aura of his Sefirah Castle, had joined the Tarot Club as the World, and was walking the same pathway as him?
A marionette prepared in advance, ready to be controlled at any moment?
A body like Mr. Azik's, which could become a medium for Death Salinger's resurrection at any time?
An embodiment of the Ancient Sun God's negative personality, like the Dark Angel Sastiel?
Or would he end up like the Ancient Sun God Grisha, unable to escape the fate of the Primordial awakening within him even after becoming a god?
Having witnessed and experienced several gods' methods of resurrection, she naturally found all sorts of possibilities surfacing
