The atmosphere at the Tower Tarot Club had turned chilly. Audrey and the other two quietly exchanged glances, but none dared speak.
Audrey was terribly curious about the man named Klein Moretti. Who was he, and why had that mysterious "Heavenly Emperor" told her to cherish him and hold on to him?
"Could he be my future partner?" The possibility made Audrey's cheeks flush. She had never considered anything like that before.
Backlund's shining jewel had never given such matters much thought.
She desperately wanted to ask, but could only bury the question in her heart. Mr. Fool was giving off an oppressive aura.
"Let's end today's gathering here," Klein suddenly said.
"You must treasure this gift." Just as the three were about to say goodbye, Klein continued.
"This gift did more than simply let you fully digest the Potion of your current Sequence."
"It also cleared away the contaminants in your bodies that were still at a manageable level. You are pure now."
Klein's words echoed through these vast Palaces.
"This was a cleansing. A blessing."
"Until you become Sequence 4 Demigods, you will never have to worry about losing control."
"No cause of losing control will affect you, whether external or internal."

No. If word got out, it would shake the world!
Feeling the strange lightness within his body, Alger had a faint sense that it might be true...
