"Gulp~"
Klein swallowed.
The fruitwood charcoal in the fireplace crackled, its firelight reflecting off the ceiling like a crowd of little figures dancing an eerie dance.
"This..."
After a long while, Klein opened his mouth, yet had no idea how to begin.
This was fucking ridiculous.
He had thought he was the overpowered protagonist in another world, holding the script to a leveling story. As long as he kept his head down and developed steadily, one day he would trample those lofty gods beneath his feet.
But after all that, he did not even count as a battery. At best, he was a filter screen in a sewer.
"Is there any way to prove this?"
Klein grabbed the cold cup of black tea before him and downed it in one gulp before asking solemnly.
Unlike him, this fellow transmigrator of his was now the Prime Minister of the Loen Kingdom, standing at the pinnacle of secular power.
With the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery backing him and enough resources to light cigarettes with gold pounds, he was not someone to be taken lightly.
If this was merely drunken rambling, that would be one thing.
But if it was true...
"There is."
"Over the years, I've collected quite a few Beyonder Characteristics from various Pathways and Sequences."
Edwin explained, "I've roughly verified part of it."
Collected quite a few Beyonder Characteristics from various Pathways?
Klein's eyelid twitched sharply.
That casual tone was practically the same as saying he had gone to the market and bought half a pound of potatoes.
Those were Beyonder Characteristics!
He had struggled for years just to barely reach Sequence 8...
"What did you verify?"
Klein reined in his thoughts and pressed on.
"Do you know about the Astral World and the Spirit World?"
