Upon hearing Klein's request, Luther's brow twitched slightly.

Dude, I just took these cat food cans out to annoy those two guys, you actually want to eat them...?

However, resources are indeed scarce in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and given a choice, Klein probably wouldn't want to eat his own "corpse"...

"Can."

He said, "But in exchange, we'll have to give you the Faceless's Potion recipe."

Having said that, he reached into the shadows and stroked Luna's smooth fur from head to toe to Soothing —see, your canned food wasn't wasted; at least it got you the Potion recipe for the next Sequence.

Luna's sobbing subsided a little.

"No problem."

Klein laughed as well. Then he actually took the cans, opened them, and in front of the two King of Angel, scooped out the solid contents and ate them in large mouthfuls.

Compared to rabbits transformed from Monster, or fake food pulled from the shadows of history, these canned foods, though intended for cats, are at least edible in the normal sense.

"Everything else is fine, it's just a bit bland."

Klein commented, "There's very little salt in cat food; it would be a problem if you could eat it."

Luther replied.

Although he seemed a little disgusted with the cat food, Klein still finished all three cans.

"Call..."

Klein sighed contentedly, and just when the other three thought he was about to finish, he reached into the void again and took out a colorful ice cream with five scoops stacked on top of it, which he then enjoyed as dessert.

In fact, the "Scholar of Yore" can only pull out three items from the Historical Void at a time. While summoning the ice cream, the steak he had eaten first disappeared into thin air.

But Klein continued to eat with great enthusiasm, ignoring Amon's further persuasion, and instead earnestly scooping up spoonful after spoonful of ice cream and putting it in his mouth to enjoy its sweet taste.

... Um?

Upon seeing this, Luther frowned almost imperceptibly.

He sensed something was wrong.

Klein does enjoy good food, but given the current situation, even if he's a glutton, shouldn't he at least restrain himself a bit?

Unless he has ulterior motives. "Are you trying to buy time this way?"

Amon chuckled, "How naive."

"I just think that having dessert is a necessary part of a meal."

Klein shrugged.

Looking closely, the five-scoop ice cream cone looks somewhat familiar...

"By the way, Luther."

Just then, he turned to look at Luther, his expression calm. "I didn't have a chance to ask you earlier, but what exactly did you mean by Grazing Roselle and defeating George III?"

Luther's heart skipped a beat.

"Oh, it's like this, I was tricked by that shitty Medici back then..."

He began to explain, describing in detail what had just happened.

Klein listened attentively, occasionally scooping out a piece of ice cream to savor. As if it were Luther's illusion, his eyes seemed to brighten a little more with each scoop of ice cream he finished.

No, it's not a misperception. Luther has seen this ice cream Klein is eating before... It was a gift the former gave to "Snake of Mercury" Will Onsett! Eating this will cause his Luck to skyrocket for a short period of time!

"And then what happened?"

Klein asked, feigning curiosity, "What state was Roselle in after his resurrection in the Astral World?"

"Similar to before, completely black."

Luther described it cooperatively, "But the blood-red color inside disappeared, and it looked as majestic as a high mountain."

Amon yawned boredly to the side.

"Alright, you've finished your ice cream, it's time to end this picnic..."

Klein ignored him, suddenly smiled, and then said:

"Did the Roselle you saw before look like this?"

After saying that, he reached forward, as if he had grabbed something, his arm tense, and he pulled heavily and laboriously inward.

In an instant, a figure appeared at the end of his palm. The figure was dark and imposing, tall and majestic. Its mere presence seemed to bring a terrifying impact to the Order of the entire space.

"Historical Projection" - Roselle! Before this, Klein ate five scoops of ice cream; gained enough Luck, ate food from Roselle's original owner (the Grazing), increasing the affinity, and also saw Roselle in person, establishing a relatively friendly relationship with him. Only then was the summoning successfully achieved!

"Boom!"

The moment the heavy projection of Roselle appeared in the air of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, it immediately displayed an extremely powerful majesty. A terrifying pressure descended, bearing down on Amon and Adam, and instantly flattening the table in front of the two brothers. Aurmir's blood wine, Adam's Wheat Bread, empty cans... all were Destruction.

"Splash..."

The bright red liquid then spilled all over the ground.

However, it's clear that this projection of Roselle could not possibly reach the level of True God. Moreover, its true form appears illusory and unreal, as if it might disappear at any moment!

"Grazing!"

Just as Klein suddenly sprang into action, Luther also made his move. He opened his palm, roared angrily, and expelled George III as Lamb from his body, grabbing him tightly and throwing him toward Roselle's phantom.

Using the actual existence of George III's spirit and its Pathway Characteristic as a medium would make Roselle's projection even more solid!

"Oh..."

At the same time, Amon on the opposite side chuckled softly. He touched the crystal lens with his hand, and an invisible force spread out, seemingly preparing to use the "Marauder's " ability to stop George III that Luther had thrown.

However, His expression quickly changed, because the illusory Roselle raised his right hand, seemingly Distortion His actions in some intangible way. George III's soul was not stolen, but rather swallowed by the phantom and successfully possessed amidst a terrible scream.

"Brush!"

Meanwhile, both Klein and Luther began their next move.

After successfully distracting Amon, Klein continued to extend his arm forward, and a giant castle-like Rag Doll dressed in a gloomy and elaborate long dress and bound by Vines immediately appeared in the void beside him.

"Ancient Bane," Reinette Tinichole!

As soon as this Angel projection appeared, it looked fearlessly at the two King of Angel, their images reflected in its hollow eyes, as if it were about to Curse the brothers.

In an instant, Luther spread his arms wide, with heads protruding from each shoulder, and drew a black Greatsword and Silver-White Rapier.

"Quickly, have Roselle release Adam from his seal on me!"

He shouted at Klein.

If I could use the Chaos Sea, I would have the Courage to overturn the table even if the opponent was two King of Angel!
