A deal struck?
Alger also saw the "Card of Blasphemy," and his gaze froze instantly, a Greed flame suddenly igniting within him.
This card might be another way for Klein to leverage the power of the Sefirah Castle, but for Alger, it's a path to the heavens.
But he managed to suppress his greed and didn't do anything excessive.
He took a deep breath, forcibly looked away, glanced to the side, and said:
"The battle just now was intense. Perhaps we've awakened something deep within this Church, so we must gather our belongings as quickly as possible and be prepared to evacuate at any time."
Klein was well aware of Alger's warning, so he quickly collected all the spoils.
Just as they were waiting for an Beyonder Characteristic to be extracted, a long, drawn-out voice suddenly rang in their ears:
"Why..."
The sigh came from the deepest part of the Church, carrying an indescribable sense of vicissitude.
Without hesitation, Klein's left Gloves became transparent, and he vanished instantly, only to reappear beside Alger.
As he reached out to grab the other's shoulder, Senior also picked up the newly extracted Beyonder Characteristic and returned it to Klein.
Immediately afterwards, Klein and Alger's bodies faded and became invisible, and the entire Burial Hall returned to silence.
The two were "teleported" directly to mid-air in the distance, their figures appearing in the Crimson moonlight and the shadows of the clouds.
Consciousness, Klein and Alger simultaneously turned around to look at the Primitive Island, wondering what changes would occur.
In their view, the thick fog that had enveloped the Primitive Island was rapidly dissipating, allowing the moonlight from high above to stream in without obstruction.
Amidst the howling winds, Klein and Alger hovered in mid-air, able to clearly see the current appearance of the Primitive Island through the thinning mist:
It's gone.
The Primitive Island inhabited by Demigod- level Feathered Serpent and various Paranormal Creature has vanished!
The area where it originally stood was gently swaying in the deep blue, almost black water, without any abnormalities!
Although we don't know Adam's true purpose, it is certain that this Primitive Island was prepared by Him for Klein.
This is why Kronos was so determined not to come here.
If Adam harbors any ill intentions, Kronos will be directly exposed to them.
After witnessing the entire Primitive Island vanish suddenly, Klein and Alger practically fled in panic.
After arriving at a safe Deserted Island through the Spirit World, the two began to "divide the spoils."
"Mentor of Disorder", "Druid" "Ocean Songster" Beyonder Characteristic, Six-Winged Gargoyle Eye, Six-Winged Gargoyle Core, and Tyrant Card.
The Tyrant Card counts as two loot, while the others each count as one loot.
Alger was quite interested in the Tyrant Card, but after careful consideration, he ultimately decided against choosing it.
In his view, the mad adventurer in front of him still had a strong interest in Blasphemy Card, and since Mr. Fool had a Black Emperor Card in his hand, Gehrman probably wouldn't give it to him.
There's no need to fall out over this, because no matter what, this card won't end up in his hands.
Alger had only recently been promoted to Ocean Songster, so he wasn't in a rush to Information about High Sequence.
As for the Information on the Playing Cards, you can simply pay some price to obtain it.
Since we both belong to the Tarot Club, some Potion Formula and Advancement Ritual can still be traded, so there's no need to strain relations now.
The main reason for this is that Alger was unable to use the Blasphemy Card.
For Alger, this Playing Cards merely contained the complete Paths of the Divine; the Playing Cards itself held no indispensable value.
So Alger asked, "May I choose the Sequence 4 Potion Formula from the ' Card of Blasphemy '?"
"No problem," Klein nodded expressionlessly. "I'll give it to you later."
Klein was quite satisfied with Alger's inquiry.
Asking this question basically implies that Alger has little interest in the Playing Cards themselves.
So, the Playing Cards naturally ended up in his hand.
Finally, Alger obtained the recipe for "Cataclysmic Interrer" and the core of the Six-Winged Gargoyle, Klein obtained the Beyonder Characteristic "Mentor of Disorder", "Druid" and "Ocean Songster", the eye of the Six-Winged Gargoyle, and the Tyrant Card.
Upon returning to Backlund, Klein couldn't wait to ascend Above the Gray Fog, eager to witness the Tyrant Card.
After activating the card, Klein first Record all the Information on it.
Klein wasn't planning to turn against Mr. Fate unless the card was particularly enticing.
In Klein's view, Mr. Fate was at least an Angel, so there was no need to provoke such an enemy.
Of course, if the Tyrant Card can bring him an even bigger surprise.
He wouldn't mind kicking out this only bigwig of the Tarot Club and keeping the surprise for himself.
However, after some testing, Klein discovered that the Tyrant Card had roughly the same effect as the Black Emperor Card.
Using Blasphemy Card to leverage the power of the Sefirah Castle only yields a rather superficial status; it merely creates Angel with different expressions.
The Black Emperor Card is more Rules- oriented, while the Tyrant has stronger offensive power.
Moreover, no matter how hard Klein tried, he could not control two Blasphemy Card at the same time.
Kronos was able to do this largely because his power and the Blasphemy Card followed the same Pathway, making it easier for him to utilize their power.
That would be very difficult for Klein to do.
The ability to activate a Playing Cards is all thanks to the power of the Sefirah Castle.
To control another Playing Cards, one would need to possess Angel or near -Angel power.
But it's clear he still has a long way to go.
After a series of tests, Klein concluded that having an extra Blasphemy Card wouldn't be of much help to him.
Therefore, giving this card to Kronos is not an unacceptable thing.
As for Kronos, he didn't care about the Primitive Island and the Tyrant Card at all.
In his view, the Primitive Island posed no danger to Klein, so there was no need for him to care.
As for the Tyrant Card, Kronos didn't care much about it either.
Kronos already possesses so many Blasphemy Card, and the power they unleash is already at the peak of Sequence 3; adding one more card won't bring about a qualitative change.
Therefore, Kronos was peacefully studying the Material Structure and the Decomposition Power.
He is not far from completing the digestion of the Scholar of Yore's Potion, and he has already mastered the control over the Decomposition Power.
It seems that getting himself into top shape before Will Uncrestin is born isn't an impossible task.
Once he's in top form, he'll be able to handle the Betting Duel with Baoli.
As for the affairs of the Church of Steam and Machinery, he had no time to deal with them and left them all to Old Fan.
At this moment, Kronos was very grateful that he had saved Old Fan. With such a competent tool, he had a lot of personal time to improve himself.
Otherwise, with the mundane affairs of the Church of Steam and Machinery entangled in them, it would be very difficult to improve their strength.
No wonder most of the leaders in the church are older people; only those whose potential has been almost exhausted will turn their attention to management matters.
Although Kronos didn't concern himself much with church affairs, Old Fan would still come to him regularly to keep him informed.
Therefore, Kronos is quite familiar with the current state of Saint Hilleran Cathedral.
For example, the previous Member of Parliament plan.
With the support of the Church of Steam and Machinery, the New Party's influence increased significantly, and it truly achieved near parity with the Conservative Party during the leadership transition.
Although the New Party ultimately failed to become the ruling New Party, it certainly wielded considerable influence in the House of Commons.
Even the Prime Minister must take the New Party's influence seriously.
In this leadership transition, those supported by the Church of Steam and Machinery successfully secured sixty-three seats, making the plan a resounding success.
With its influence in the House of Commons, coupled with the presence of church personnel in the navy, the Church of Steam and Machinery truly possessed the scale of a True God Churches.
In the past, the Church of Steam and Machinery could only barely compare with the Church of Storms and the Church of Darkness in terms of extraordinary power.
In many cities, the areas that the Church of Steam and Machinery can manage are the suburbs, which are sparsely populated.
One of the most representative cities is Tingen City, Klein's hometown.
The Church of Saint Selena on Red Moon Street and the River and Sea Church in the North Borough jointly govern the Tingen City, while the Saint Number Church of the Church of Steam and Machinery is located in the suburbs.
Now, the Church of Steam and Machinery has a stronger influence in politics and military affairs, which will greatly improve the situation to some extent.
However, this is not something Kronos needs to worry about, because he has a perfect "tool".
Van Aisting was indeed quite capable in this regard, so he handled everything very well.
As for matters outside the Backlund Diocese, there weren't many things that Kronos needed to worry about, except for one thing: the Dawn of Elements had launched a surprise attack on the Church of Steam and Machinery's Fleet.
Nosk was a pioneer of the church's voyages, and the main force would naturally follow in time.
However, before they could even begin, they were ambushed by the Dawn of Elements.
The reason why the Dawn of Elements was so blatant was because this Fleet had not yet registered with the Pirate Duchy and was therefore not under the Principality's protection.
Wrath by this incident, the Church of Steam and Machinery prepared for a large-scale war against the Dawn of Elements.
However, because they didn't know exactly where the Dawn of Elements ' stronghold was, they didn't know how to retaliate for the time being.
Of course, these troubles are none of Kronos's business.
The Cathedral of Machinery believes that the plans of the Backlund Diocese are more important than the troubles on the Dawn of Elements side, as they concern the Church's position in the Loen Kingdom.
Therefore, this turmoil did not affect the Backlund Diocese at all.
Since the Cathedral Temple didn't need their involvement, Kronos was naturally happy to accept it.
Two days later, there was another Tarot Club.
Klein hadn't contacted Kronos for the past two days, so Kronos was wondering whether Klein would keep his promise or go back on his word.
In fact, Kronos would have preferred him to back out, so that Kronos could legitimately appear before Dwayne Dantès and intimidate him.
Kronos wasn't originally someone with so many wicked tastes; he just suddenly had this idea.
At exactly three o'clock, streaks of deep red light rose from both sides of the Bronze Long Table, and the members of the Tarot Club arrived one by one Above the Gray Fog.
The first thing Kronos did was turn his gaze to the Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the head of the table, and then he noticed that the Mr. Fool had an extra Playing Cards in his hand.
The Tyrant Card was displayed there so openly, and Kronos had no idea what Klein was up to.
Are they planning to deny it altogether, insisting they didn't receive the Blasphemy Card? Are they going to claim Playing Cards Mr. Fool got it?
Kronos was also unsure, so he simply decided to wait and see.
At this Tarot Club, Bernadette did not give Mr. Fool more of her diary through Cattleya. Instead, Miss Audrey gave Klein the three pages of diary she had collected.
The diary contained no valuable Information, so after scanning it, Klein asked, "What do you want in exchange?"
Audrey was just waiting for the Potion ingredients, and since she wasn't lacking anything for the time being, she naturally chose to satisfy her curiosity first.
"Dear Mr. Fool, is the extra card in your hand the ' Card of Blasphemy '? Which one?"
Klein absolutely loved this kind of easygoing problem, because it didn't require him to pretend to be profound.
So he casually flipped over the new "Card of Blasphemy," showed it to Audrey, and began to speak.
"This is a Tyrant Card, but it doesn't belong to me."
"This card was given to me by one of my followers, but I intend to give it to one of you as a token of my gratitude for his help to my followers."
Kronos knew exactly what he wanted to do as soon as he heard that.
He hadn't expected Klein to pull such a stunt, not mentioning the deal at all, as if it were a gift he had offered voluntarily.
In this way, the deal with Kronos was completed, and a display of generosity was perfectly presented to the members of the Tarot Club.
Those who help Mr. Fool, or those who do things for Mr. Fool, can receive such generous rewards. In the future, the members of the Tarot Club will surely work even harder to do things for Mr. Fool.
By not breaking his promise and still winning over some people, Mr. Fool's move was quite clever.
