Plans for the Future

Above the Gray Fog, the transmigrators' meeting had reached its final stage.

What are you planning to do next?

Luther asked Klein.

"The most important thing right now is to find a way to escape from Amon."

Klein said, "After escaping, I might consider exploring the Forsaken Land of the Gods for a while... to try and advance to Sequence 2..."

In other words, he had two plans: survival and promotion.

Just before the Tarot Club, Klein used his "Historical Reenactment" ability to pull out the Antigonus Family Notebook from the Historical Void and obtained a lot of information through the Divination in them.

First, the Tentacle Monster deep within the Foggy Town sealed by the Goddess is High Sequence extraordinary being of the "Seer" Pathway, possessing the Uniqueness of the "Fool".

Secondly, Klein also learned about the relevant Sequence 2 and some Sequence 1 Potion recipes. Among them, the Sequence 2 "Miracle Invoker" recipe is one heart of Demonic Wolf, or other Beyonder Characteristic of "Miracle Invoker". The auxiliary materials are 300 ml of Demonic Wolf blood, one "Worm of Time" and one "Worm of Star".

The most crucial aspect is the Ritual required for the advancement of a "Miracle Invoker," which involves bringing a lost piece of history back to the present era.

There are very few places that meet these conditions.

Klein said, "Therefore, I'm considering having City of Silver leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods" and return to the world of light under the Sun... That should meet the requirements."

The problem now is that the Dark Angel is guarding a crucial point connecting the "Giant King’s Court" to the outside world, and He may have obtained a Sequence 1 Characteristic... This is something a Sequence 3 cannot handle.

"I'll help."

Luther simply stated, "Anyway, that's a target I have to deal with."

To advance to Sequence 0 and become the Hanged Man, he must consume three portions of Sequence 1 Characteristic; facing the "Dark Angel" Sasrir is inevitable. Moreover, if he truly cannot defeat him, there's always Roselle, the "Black Emperor," to back him up...

"It would be best if you could help."

Klein smiled and said, "Luther, what about you? What are you planning to do next?"

"Me..."

After a moment's thought, Luther replied, "I'll probably stay in the Forsaken Land of the Gods for a while as well, and then join you to fight the Dark Angels together. But before that, I need your help."

What kind of help?

"When the True Creator split, three Characteristic were released. One was taken by Adam and Ouroboros, one flew to the Dark Angels, and the whereabouts of the third is unknown. Could you help me Divination its current location?"

Facing Sasrir as Sequence 2 is still very difficult, so Luther is considering taking back that Characteristic first, and then directly advancing to Sequence 1 to fight against the Dark Angel with the same rank.

"Uh... okay."

Klein hesitated for a moment, then quickly agreed.

He carefully inquired about the relevant details, and then used the blood left behind by the True Creator, provided by Luther, as material for Divination. He picked up a pen, wrote down the Divination statement on a piece of paper, recited it seven times, and then leaned back in the Bronze High-Backed Chair and fell into a deep sleep.

Luther waited in the quiet atmosphere.

A moment later.

"Bang!"

He saw Klein's figure jerk violently, followed by his head exploding. He collapsed onto the table, clutching the note tightly, his mouth agape as if enduring excruciating pain.

The Gray Fog within the ancient castle echoed his emotions, stirring them intensely and relentlessly.

Are you alright?

Luther hadn't expected his request to cause the other person such severe pain, so he quickly asked with concern.

"I'm fine..."

Klein replied weakly, "Compared to the pain I felt when Divination you, this damage is nothing..."

After about ten seconds, he slowly recovered and sat up straight again.

"According to the Divination results, that Characteristic has settled deep within the Forsaken Land of the Gods. The surrounding creatures are driven mad by its Corrosion, but it is currently under control overall."

He said that.

"So, I just need to chase after it in the direction it flew out in, right?"

Luther understood what he meant.

"That's right."

Klein rubbed his temples and nodded. He had just witnessed the True Creator's final madness before his fall in his Divination Dream, and had been somewhat affected by it. "Be careful. Sequence 1 Characteristic possesses extremely strong Spirituality. If too much time is wasted, it might evolve life and intelligence on its own..."

Before he could finish speaking, one of the several Red Stars surrounding the Gray Fog suddenly rippled with a light like water.

"This is Leonard praying to Mr. Fool."

"He must have gotten some information from Pallez," Klein said.

Oh right, so you're supposed to Acting the Fool in his response now, right?

Luther realized what was happening and nodded, saying, "I hope Leonard brings good news... I'll head back now. Contact me if you need anything."

"Yes, you should also be careful."

Klein said, his fingers twitching slightly, conjuring a piece of yellowish-brown Parchment and handing it to Luther. "Remember to give my regards to Luna. I'm sorry for eating her canned food; I'll make it up to her when I get back."

Luther took the Parchment and looked down. On it was written the Potion recipe for "Faceless," Sequence 6 of the "Seer" Pathway: "Sequence 6, Faceless."

Main Ingredients: Mutated pituitary gland of the Thousand-faced Hunter + Human Skin Shadow's Characteristic. Auxiliary ingredients: 80 ml of Thousand-faced Hunter's blood + 5 drops of Black Mandrake Juice + 10 g of Dragon Tooth Grass powder + 3 strands of Deep-sea Naga hair.

Luther smiled and said, "Okay, I think she'll be satisfied."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure was swallowed up by crimson light and shadow, and then disappeared without a trace in the Bronze High-Backed Chair.

Backlund, North Borough.

"Old Man, how did you come up with this idea? It's insane."

After Leonard finished praying to the Fool, he said with emotion.

After learning of Klein's ordeal, Pallez offered a simple yet ingenious solution: using "Deceit" bullets to trick the rules of the world's underworld and alter his resurrection location.

"Hmph, this is just a reasonable use of power; anyone with a little thought could come up with it."

An aged voice resounded directly in his mind, "You should be glad you're not Marauder Pathway a non-human, otherwise you'd probably still be stuck at a low level..."

Leonard pretended not to understand the sarcasm in his words.

"And, to be honest, we should thank your friend."

"Thank him?"

"That's right. Thanks to him drawing Amon's attention, I think we can now begin searching for the treasure left behind by the Jacob family."
