The Main Ingredients

"Then my friend," Klein sighed softly, "Perhaps you would tell me where to obtain the main ingredient for 'Miracle Invoker '? That way I won't have to ask Arrodes again."

Neph was taken aback. Klein had actually stopped asking her similar questions, because he had too many people to ask, and Neph clearly preferred to avoid getting involved.

But since Klein asked, Neph didn't mind answering. As she recalled, she said, "At the Sequence 2 level, due to the Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics, the main material is unlikely to exist separately under natural conditions, but rather it is combined into one."

"The number of Sequence 2 Beyonder Characteristic varies for each Pathway. The Beyonder Characteristic of 'Miracle Invoker ' has a total of 9, which means that when the number of Attendant of Mysteries is full, there can be a total of 6 Miracle Invoker."

"And the current Attendant of Mysteries —one belongs to Zaratul of the Secret Order, one to Antigonus of the Nation of the Evernight, and there is another, which should have belonged to you."

"I know," Klein nodded, "You mentioned it to me."

"Yes," Neph sighed, "It has remained on the Sefirah Castle ever since the fall of the Lord of the Mysteries in the First Epoch, existing as a backup plan for his resurrection, until it descended upon you in the Fifth Epoch."

"But the Goddess interfered," Klein added, "It didn't come to me—you told me that too."

Neph nodded and continued, "Under the influence of the Fool's Uniqueness within Antigonus, the already senile Sefirah Castle made a misjudgment—"

Klein couldn't help but ask, "Why do you describe it as Alzheimer's?"

Neph shrugged and said, "You chose the Pathway of the Seer, but your two predecessors were quite different. One was born Angel on the Pathway of the Sleepless, and the other first became Savant, then Mystery Pryer, and finally the Black Emperor."

"How can such a misdiagnosis not be Alzheimer's disease?"

Klein gave her an OK sign, signaling her to continue.

Neph pondered for a moment, then continued, "In short, Sefirah Castle Error the location of your arrival. You became Klein Moretti, but that Beyonder Characteristic of the ' Attendant of Mysteries ' ended up in the distant Forsaken Land of the Gods, beside the fog wall guarded by Moon City."

In fact, I was born very close to there.

"Of course, I did not see that Attendant of Mysteries Attendant of Mysteries," because long before I arrived, the Demonic Wolf "Kotar" had taken it away, intending to use it to advance to Sequence 1.

"Of course, he is still far from success. You don't even need to worry about his success in the short term, because Kotar, who has survived since the Second Epoch, is extremely cautious. The Ritual of ascending to Sequence 1 is extremely dangerous for him. He has never actually tried the Ritual before, and even his attempts have all failed due to the slightest disturbance."

"That's already two Miracle Invoker," and next up is Zaratul of the Secret Order, whose Sequence 1 comes from a Attendant of Mysteries, meaning he possesses an additional Miracle Invoker.

"Antigonus, like Zaratul, also possessed the skill of a ' Miracle Invoker,' as for the rest—"

A strange glint flashed across Neph's face as she said meaningfully, "Your predecessor tricked someone like Him into a Miracle Invoker's Beyonder Characteristic, sealing them within and turning them into the famous Aladdin's Lamp. It's Record as 0-05 and named the Magic Wishing Lamp. You can give up this Beyonder Characteristic, firstly because you simply don't have the ability to break the seal, and secondly—to gain freedom. I estimate that the Apocalypse might be a little more promising."

The Church the Eternal Blazing Sun has a Sealed Artifact, numbered 0-13, called "The Last Supper." I think just from this name, you can guess its origin—it comes from my My Lord in the Third Epoch.

"Church of Storms's 0-32" is also composed of the Beyonder Characteristic of "Miracle Invoker," a product of the "War of the Four Emperors," and is called "The Everlasting Theater."

"Let's leave aside the two Sealed Artifact of the Church for now. But regarding these living people, I have some advice for you."

"I don't know how to deal with Zaratul, but as you know, the reason He went mad was because of my sister, so you can go ask my sister."

"Don't try to mess with Antigonus. He is already Half-Fool who embodies Uniqueness. Even madness is beyond your control. Wait until you are ready to become Fool before you try to face Him."

"As for Kotar —as I said, He is very cautious. Believe me, He will abandon that Attendant of Mysteries and run away. But I must warn you, using that Attendant of Mysteries for advancement is an extremely dangerous act, because its spiritual imprint comes directly from the former Lord of the Mysteries. If this happened in the Fourth Epoch, you would have gone mad. Even now, at the end of the Fifth Epoch, you are not entirely safe; it will place an enormous burden on your mind!"

"I understand," Klein couldn't help but laugh, "You just want me to go find Zaratul."

Neph shrugged and said frankly, "If you can't kill Kotar, then He is the most suitable."

"I want to challenge Kotar first," Klein shook his head. "No matter what, Sequence 2 should be easier to deal with than Sequence 1, and I also have some understanding of the Demigod level. For Demigod, madness is sometimes an enhancement."

"I respect your opinion," Neph shrugged, "But I hope you won't use that Beyonder Characteristic from 'Sefirah Castle ' to advance."

She didn't threaten Klein with her refusal to help separate the Beyonder Characteristic, because she had already given the "Cross of Darkness" to Little "Sun," and Little "Sun" would certainly not refuse Mr. Fool's request—or perhaps the "World's"?

Klein didn't bring it up either. He agreed to Neph's suggestion, promising, "You rarely emphasize something to me so repeatedly. I think I'll remember it."

Neph pinched the bridge of her nose and continued, "Actually, I'm not sure how useful this will be, but it's better than nothing—well, you can ask my sister for help with dealing with Kotar, I won't get involved."

"If I could, I really hope—"

She stared at Klein for a few seconds, pursed her lips slightly, and whispered, "I don't want anything to happen to you, Klein."

"I can feel it." Klein nodded.

This was no lie; he could clearly sense how unsettled Neph was. It was too obvious, because Neph rarely hid her emotions.

But Klein didn't like the atmosphere, and he believed Neph wouldn't either, so after thinking for a few seconds, he decided to try to change the subject. "Speaking of which, I'm a little curious about something."

Chapter 47 Main Materials

"Why do you emphasize that doing this in the Fourth Epoch period wouldn't be crazy, while the Fifth Epoch sounds like things would be much better?"

Neph paused for a moment, then carefully said, "The closer we get to the Apocalypse, the more dormant the Primordial spirit becomes. And at the end of the Fifth Epoch, which is the final moment of the Apocalypse, the Primordial spirit is practically dead—this is almost their last chance. They're going to gamble. For the next few million years, the Universe will remain the same Universe. You know what I mean."

"Just like in the Great Old One days," Klein replied, "There's a reason the world is the way it is today, and it could happen again at any time, you can't even be sure when it will happen, is that right?"

Neph nodded, but Klein frowned and asked, "So, the Apocalypse you were talking about wasn't this?"

"To be honest—" Neph began cautiously, "we've recently discovered something, and what we call the Apocalypse might actually refer to this—"

"----?" Klein's movements became hesitant.

"That's not important," Neph shook her head, "We'll talk about it slowly after you Angel."

"Well," Klein sighed, "Then, in the Fourth Epoch, isn't it also dangerous to become a god through these three Pathway? Hmm, was Antigonus's madness due to his acceptance of Uniqueness?"

"Obviously," Neph replied.

Klein exclaimed, "It's really impressive that Amon and Mr. 'Door' didn't go completely insane back then."

"Amon is, after all, a Mythical Creature. As long as He doesn't become a god, He won't be affected," Neph shook her head and said. "As for Mr. 'Door'—I guess He didn't have time to be affected; He must have come into contact with the Moon much earlier—"

"----I completely understand," Klein said, suddenly realizing, "He already went mad beforehand, so he won't go mad again."

"That's not wrong—" Neph stammered, "But it's not impossible for her to go crazy again."

"That sounds terrible," Klein shook his head, "But if that's the case, how dare Antigonus accept the Uniqueness ' The Fool '?"

"He—" Neph's expression turned strange. "He, Mr. Men, and Amon immediately agreed to conduct an experiment on this matter—that is, with some counterexamples, Amon and Mr. Men concluded that these three Pathway in the Fourth Epoch could not lead to godhood."

"Other Pathway don't seem to have this effect?" Klein said thoughtfully.

Neph thought for a moment and guessed, "The Omnipotent and Omniscient next door should be similar to this—well, but I have no proof."

Klein said thoughtfully, "In that case, reviving the Ancient Sun God through the Demoness's Pathway might actually be a good idea—"

"The moment you bring this up, I think of my My Lord's firstborn Son," Neph closed her eyes. "First, I want to know if He had anything to do with Eve —second, I want to know if He had anything to do with Lilith— "

"Wait a minute, what's this about Lilith?" Klein was a little confused. "I can understand Eve, but what's with hitting Lilith?"

"That's a Judaism adaptation, though I prefer to call it a fan fiction of the Bible— " Neph whispered, "A—the firstborn son of my My Lord and Lilith were once united, and together they conceived a child named Cain— "

"Speaking of which, I suddenly have a question," Klein's expression turned strange, "I clearly remember that God Almighty' only created one,' so why does your Lord have two children?"

Neph replied cautiously, "Perhaps He read the Bible written by Hong Xiuquan?"

"That sounds absolutely awful—" Klein rolled his eyes.

Neph didn't dare to speak, so Klein asked again, "Speaking of which, even if you don't dare to ask your Lord about this, you can ask Adam himself, right?"

"----?" Neph's expression froze.

She fell silent for a moment, as she sadly realized that this was entirely feasible given her past behavior, and she found it difficult to find a reason to disagree unless she confessed to Klein about Adam's relationship with the "True Creator."

Of course, she wouldn't dare ask Adam that, because Adam was the Lord she believed in!

But then again, Adam could read minds. If I deliberately thought these thoughts in front of him, would He kindly answer me?

Neph raised her hand in shame and made an Inverted Cross on her chest.

Faced with her action, Klein's face Distortion strangely, forming a complex expression that mixed laughter with forced composure. Neph glanced at him only once before saying expressionlessly, "You don't have to hold back if you want to laugh."

"I'm sorry," Klein coughed softly, his smile completely shattering, "I must say, perhaps it's a good thing not to be believed in by you. I shouldn't have been jealous of my predecessors."

"Jealousy?" Neph repeated the word.

"Shouldn't I be jealous?" Klein countered with a smile. "We met first, we're more familiar with each other, we've grown together, and my promotion information is almost always—wait a minute?"

He paused for a moment, then hesitated before speaking, "----So, if that's the case, then it seems I should believe in you?"

"I don't mind," Neph said.

"I can't quite accept it," Klein rubbed his forehead. "It sounds like the difference between calling a friend 'Dad' and genuinely treating a friend like a father—of course, the same goes for Mom."

He glanced at Neph, Neph was staring at him, a jumbled thought flashing through her mind: Come to think of it, he was thrown down from "Sefirah Castle," so the essence of our imprisonment is no different. If I'm considered a posthumous child, then he—

Neph fell into deep thought.

"Don't you think—" she stammered, "that White Mist and Gray Fog are actually quite similar?"

"----?" Klein dared not answer the question; he suspected Neph had ill intentions.

"Actually," Neph pondered, bringing the topic back to the present, "There's something you got wrong."

"Hmm?" Klein looked at her, puzzled.

"Have you forgotten—" Neph gently raised her hand, drawing an Inverted Cross on her chest, "When I came to this land, the first thing I did was pray to my My Lord —the one I knew first, clearly my My Lord, and at that time, I already regarded Him as God."
