Klein decisively ignored the last two sentences of Alice's warning.
...What a lunatic!
Even so, he accepted Alice's warning, heightening his vigilance while refraining from attempting any divination.
But both the Eternal Blazing Sun and the True Creator were True Gods too, so why...
This question flashed through Klein's mind, and he could not help but speculate about what Alice meant. At least a True God... so what lies above a True God?

Counting from Sequence 9 to Sequence 1, then came Sequence 0. If he kept counting upward, could Sequence levels become negative?
But that was not what he needed to worry about right now. What he first needed to figure out was why an existence at that level had set its sights on him.
Klein looked at the space known as the Castle of Origin and pinched his brow.
It was easy to guess what Alice had warned him about.
