Although he has been Beyonder for less than two years, Klein's experience is absolutely rich and colorful, even among Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 Saint. He has owned and encountered quite a few items that could quickly kill him now and be easily summoned from the Historical Void.
Here, he chose the " Solar Flare Charm "Solar Flare Charm that he had used in Tingen City. He had already recited the incantation and infused it with Spirituality, and it was about to be activated!
Admittedly, this has little restraining effect on Demigod of the " Seer " path, which is characterized by its strangeness and unpredictability, and relies mainly on its own lethality. However, Klein will not dodge or defend, but will open his mind and body to fully embrace the light of "hope".
Even at the Sequence 3 " Scholar of Yore " level, the defense of " Seer " pathway Beyonder remains weak, and their pure attack power is also significantly insufficient relative to their level. This leads to a regrettable fact:
When Klein wanted to commit suicide, he didn't have the ability to quickly resolve his own situation. After all, he couldn't Manipulation his own " Spirit Body Threads " to transform himself into his own Marionette, which would create a logical contradiction: in the end, the deeper the Marionettization, the less ability the person would have to continue Marionettization.
When Klein looked for ways to commit suicide from the outside, he found that as long as he didn't use methods such as " Marionette Swap," " Paper Figurine Substitute," or " Historical Void Hiding," he had too many options to consider.
" Seer " is such a powerful yet rather extreme and bizarre approach.
Seeing that Klein was about to retrieve a " Solar Flare Charm " from the Fog of History, accompanied by strong suicidal thoughts, Amon simply smiled, without even raising his hand, and Stealing his entire thought, causing a glimmer of light to flash on his crystal monocle.
Klein immediately forgot what he had just been thinking about.
But he didn't stop moving!
When he heard that he would reach his final destination in only half a day, his shocked and astonished reaction was mostly feigned, because he had always been wary of Amon, the " God of Deceit," and did not really trust any of his words.
There are too many explanations for "no more than three days." Klein had already prepared for the worst. After hearing Amon's words, he immediately lined up what he needed to do next: after having the idea of summoning the " Solar Flare Charm " to commit suicide, he would then summon that being, summon that being, summon that being, and so on, in a repeated cycle, so that no matter how long Amon Stealing his thoughts, he could still act accordingly as planned.
In this matter, the experience of thinking above the Gray Fog when dealing with "0-08," treating his real self as Marionette, and acting only according to the preset program, greatly helped Klein.
At this moment, although Klein didn't know what he had just been thinking, and didn't even feel that he had forgotten anything, he was very clear about what actions he would take next.
The past is not important; the present and the future are what matter!
Klein reached out again, grabbing at the empty space to his side, and his entire arm suddenly felt heavy.
However, when he withdrew his right hand, nothing came out.
At the same time, Amon raised his palm and gently grabbed forward.
He stole the Historical Void image that Klein summoned!
A figure swiftly appeared beside Amon. It was an old man, wearing a hooded black robe, with dark eyes like a lifeless surface of water, and long, thick white beard around his mouth and face.
Zaratul!
Secret Order, the leader of the secret order Zaratul Sequence 1 Angel!
The being Klein was trying to summon was none other than Zaratul, and he succeeded on his first try!
This is because Klein had prepared in advance.
In the city-state established by the Phoenix followers, when Klein divided the Marionette into three groups to summon the projections of the Historical Void, his true form was actually attempting to summon Zaratul.
Undoubtedly, this was impossible to succeed at the time, but for an " Scholar of Yore," it would be a great failure if his own Historical Void projections were tried to be summoned without his awareness. Zaratul was definitely a senior, excellent, and experienced " Scholar of Yore."
After this doomed summoning, Klein established a connection with Zaratul.
This is a tacit understanding among " Scholar of Yore "!
A " Miracle Invoker " or a " Attendant of Mysteries " can make their own Historical Void projections react positively, just as every " Scholar of Yore " is 100% successful in borrowing power from their past self.
Furthermore, the " Scholar of Yore " summon images from the Historical Void without any contractual agreement, relying on the other party's lack of intelligence or a good relationship to Manipulation. In this world, the people who are least willing to see Amon obtain the high position of " Sefirah Castle " are: Mr. "Door" first, Pallez second, Zaratul third!
In other words, Klein and Zaratul were temporary allies in the fight against Amon.
Based on these factors, Klein was confident that he could summon Zaratul in one go, and he proved that he could.
That's why he wasn't worried at all that Amon would Stealing the Historical Void projection he had summoned; in fact, he even hoped that the " Angel of Time " would do so.
The reason he presented the idea of suicide before summoning Zaratul was to allow Amon to Stealing his thoughts. Amon, being Angel King enjoys trying new things and seeking thrills, would likely not repeat the same act of Stealing next time, instead of Stealing the idea itself, but rather the Historical Void image that was summoned.
This is one of Klein's few trump cards.
The next second, Zaratul's eyes went from dull and lifeless to lively and expressive, instantly gaining a sense of realism.
Clearly, this " Attendant of Mysteries," a seasoned " Scholar of Yore," has entered the Historical Void, allowing a projection from the same era to gain its own consciousness!
The Zaratul projection, now possessing its own consciousness, unhesitatingly and resolutely turned its gaze toward Amon.
Amon squinted with both his monocle-wearing and non-monocle-wearing eyes, and saw that the desolate plains around him, filled with frequent lightning and numerous ravines, suddenly became empty and dark, dotted with glittering stars.
He seemed to Zaratul to the Starry Sky.
This is a miracle.
The projection opposite Amon had transformed into a massive, mysterious vortex formed by Distortion worms, with transparent tentacles extending outwards. Just looking at it was enough to drive people mad and distort them into madness.
At this moment, Klein abandoned all other thoughts about the queue order, seized the opportunity, controlled a Monster in the depths of darkness, and transformed it into his own Marionette.
Immediately afterwards, he and the Marionette Swap places.
Once deep in the darkness, Klein reached out again, grabbing at the air in front of him several times. His Marionette did the same.
Finally, he dragged a new figure out of the void.
She was Arianna, dressed in a simple linen robe, with a bark belt, long black hair hanging down, barefoot, with ordinary features and dark eyes.
Abbess of the Evernight Abbey, leader of the Ascetic, " Servant of Concealment," Angel on Earth, Arianna.
As soon as Arianna appeared, her dark eyes returned to normal, making her look nothing like a projection.
His true form seems to have entered a state of Concealment, thus imbuing the summoned Historical Void images with Wisdom.
This is one of the reasons why Klein chose to summon Him, abandoning Mr. Azik and Miss Messenger, who had a higher success rate. In this way, even if his "suicide" went wrong and failed, he would still have a fight to fight against Amon!
--Once the Historical Void images possess their own consciousness, Klein's maintenance will become much easier, thus indirectly extending the duration of the projections.
Klein then used the connection between the " Scholar of Yore " and the Historical Void image he summoned to quickly communicate with the " Servant of Concealment " Arianna, instructing her to kill him!
Arianna suddenly arched her body, her right hand falling behind her as she drew a bone longsword covered in strange patterns from the depths of darkness.
Then, He took a sudden step forward and swung the sword.
The darkness began to surge and spread wildly toward Klein's location.
An unfortunate Monster happened to be between Arianna and Klein, and as the tide of darkness engulfed it, it was instantly dissolved.
This is not a Concealment authority, but a combination of the power of slumber and fear, symbolizing danger in the darkness, and silent destruction and vanishing.
Beyonder on the " Sleepless " path must reach Sequence 3, " Bishop of Fear," to master this power.
Instinctively, Klein's survival instinct made him try to escape, but at this moment, he felt that all the darkness around him was the enemy, that it would be infected by that power, that it would become part of the tide, and that there was no way to avoid it or hide from it.
"You don't need to go all out. You could easily kill me with just a fraction of your power..." Klein suppressed his biological instincts, stood still, and awaited destruction.
Just then, a distant, ethereal bell rang out from all around.
It seemed to have traveled through a long history, slowing down everything around it, including the surging darkness.
In mid-air, patches of darkness were pierced, revealing a huge stone-carved wall clock.
It is ancient and mottled, its surface divided into twelve sections by gray-white and bluish-black, each section containing different symbols. There are three pointers, one long, one short, and one medium-sized, which seem to be composed of twelve segments of " Worm of Time " full of vicissitudes.
As the second hand ticked, the clock struck again.
when!
In the echoing sound, the surging darkness slowed down even more, and then the ancient clock's phantom image vanished, transforming back into Amon, wearing a pointed soft hat and a monocle.
The projection of Zaratul behind Him was also in a sluggish state.
Immediately afterwards, Amon appeared out of thin air, stretched out his right hand, and pressed it towards the darkness.
The darkness quickly returned to normal, engulfing Klein, but it did not cause him any harm. It was unclear whether this was due to a "bug" or the theft of his extraordinary effects.
At the same time, Amon's body instantly became enormous, reaching a height of ten or twenty meters, yet his clothes remained completely undamaged.
He looked down at Klein, adjusted his monocle, ignored the attack unleashed by the Zaratul projection behind him, and said with great interest, a smirk playing on his lips:
"That's interesting."
