"..." Klein once again understood why Amon was called the " God of Mischief."
At this moment, he couldn't even muster the desire to complain; he only wanted to immediately end the maintenance of the Historical Void projection and get rid of the Amon before him—no, the Amon.
The charred corpse, now Parasitism, wiped the soot from its face and, before Klein could disappear, said with a smile:
"Don't worry, you're just a projection from Historical Void. I can't truly Parasitism you, and you should also know that I'm not alone. You'll find it difficult to mount an effective counterattack."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Klein, carrying a simple lantern, thought for a moment in silence, then picked up a fragment of a statue that was black on the outside and red on the inside, and cautiously asked.
At this point, Amon had transformed into his own appearance, the only problem being that his skin was still rather dark.
He adjusted his monocle, which was made of crystal, and chuckled:
"You know I know you're looking for that Dark Demonic Wolf, trying to get the ' Miracle Invoker ' Beyonder Characteristic from it, and I'm very interested in it too. How about this, let's play another game and see who can get it first."
What's the point? Does that mean if I don't play this game, I won't pursue it, and you won't try to steal it either? Klein paused for two seconds, then shook his head:
"I refuse."
He had no intention of listening to what conditions Amon would offer; the more you listen to a top Deceit, the more you'll be taken advantage of.
Amon smiled and shook his head without any sign of anger.
"You'll regret this. I originally planned to trade you the ' Sefirah Castle ' for a ' Miracle Invoker ' Beyonder Characteristic and a ' Attendant of Mysteries ' Beyonder Characteristic if I won, and also give you some time to move your organization's Concealment gathering ahead of schedule."
"And now, I can only consider directly Stealing your Fate, bearing the erosion from the very root. Well, it's dangerous, but exciting enough. I'm ready to accept it and see who comes out on top. With my father's experience, I don't think I'll do too badly."
... What? Erosion from the source? The experience of the Ancient The Sun God? Klein originally didn't want to continue discussing the Beyonder Characteristic of the " Miracle Invoker " and the topic of the " Sefirah Castle " with Amon, but upon hearing this, his heart stirred.
He recalled Amon's description from earlier and couldn't help but ask:
"Does the origin refer to the Original Creator?"
He desperately wanted to know what kind of unbearable Fate " Sefirah Castle " would bring him.
Amon pinched the top and bottom edges of his monocle, looked at Klein for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed:
"I'd better not answer that question directly, because you won't believe a single word I say."
"Just tell me! I can judge for myself whether it's true or false!" Klein suppressed the urge to blurt it out and calmly replied:
Maybe you just haven't come up with a reason yet.
Amon smiled without any sign of unease and said:
You can think that way if you want.
"Hehe, sometimes, the truth you discover yourself is more convincing than what others tell you. If you have time, you can wander around the Forsaken Land of the Gods more often; you should be able to find a lot of clues there. Of course, if you have the courage to enter Chernobyl, you can learn even more."
... Klein didn't press further, gazing for a moment at the collapsed church bathed in Yellow Light, and said casually:
"Did the Dark Demonic Wolf migrate hastily after discovering your presence?"
Amon nodded slightly and said:
"Not only me, but He also sensed the Hanged Man's gaze. Having lurked in the Forsaken Land of the Gods for thousands of years, He is extremely sensitive to these things."
An Angel of Sequence 2, or even Sequence 1, can only hide and eke out a living in the Forsaken Land of the Gods... The living conditions here are just too harsh! Klein sighed inwardly with two idioms, then said:
"You must have left more than one clone in City of Silver, why didn't you try to stop me from resurrecting there?"
Why not send a more powerful clone?
Amon touched the lower edge of his monocle with his right index finger and chuckled, saying:
"That would lead you to choose to be resurrected outside the local area, which would cause considerable trouble for my subsequent tracking."
"But if we relax a little, due to the Beyonder Characteristic of the ' Miracle Invoker ' in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, you will most likely be resurrected here. In the rest of the game, the only unexpected events we need to consider are the ' The Hanged Man ' Ouroboros."
Just as I thought... Klein said thoughtfully:
Even within the same area, once a certain distance is exceeded, your main body and your clone shouldn't be able to instantly merge or swap positions.
"The reason you were able to revert to your original form as soon as you entered the Forsaken Land of the Gods was because the anomalies at the ' Sefirah Castle ' also interfered with this place, causing your original form to become aware of it and go to the entrance to wait in advance?"
Amon listened with a smile, but instead of answering, he asked:
"Do you think so?"
"Guess if I've reverted to my original form yet?"
Klein raised his right fist, pressed it against his mouth and nose, pondered for a few seconds, and then smiled, saying:
"I suspect your other clones are preparing the necessary rituals to allow your main body to descend directly here..."
Before he could finish speaking, his figure rapidly blurred, disintegrated, and vanished.
The preservation of this Historical Void image was terminated.
In the wilderness outside the Ancient City of North, where Klein was hiding, the air suddenly stirred, and illusory monocles appeared in mid-air.
They stared intently at Klein's figure, as if saying, "We've finally found you."
However, Klein's figure quickly faded away.
Long before Amon put the monocle back on his right eye, Klein's true form had already returned to the real world from ancient history. With the help of the " Paper Angel," he used extraordinary abilities such as " Flame Jump " to quickly travel away.
The reason his Historical Void image could communicate with Amon relatively normally was because he was essentially Marionette, a projection of Qonas Kilgor into Gehrman Sparrow, with a " Worm of Spirit " originating from history within him, controlled by the Klein image outside the city.
During his escape, Klein's main body frequently entered Historical Void, allowing the projection outside the city to intermittently gain consciousness and maintain Manipulation over the Marionette.
This caused Klein, who was talking to Amon, to occasionally fall into deep thought, or stare at something for a few seconds, or need to recall what the other person had said.
Facing the " God of Deceit," Klein dared not be careless in the slightest!
After leaving the Ancient City of North, he circled around twice, using " Spirit Vision " above the Gray Fog to survey the surrounding area before slowing down.
The erosion from the root... I don't know if Amon is Deceit me... Indeed, I will have to go into Chernobyl one day, but only after I become a " Miracle Invoker " and have a certain ability to protect myself, otherwise it will be a delivery to my door... Klein carried the lantern that Danitz sacrificed, and walked aimlessly in the increasingly dark environment of the weeds.
Thanks to this experience, he finally gained a deeper and more intuitive understanding of the dangers of the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
An extremely harsh and distorted environment, fanatical cultists, Depravity Angel, swarms of Amon wandering everywhere, Mythical Creature hiding in the darkness, an evil god watching everything from somewhere here, and residual divine power that I can mobilize and others can also invoke... No wonder it is the Forsaken Land of the Gods, the level of danger is far beyond my previous imagination... Klein sighed and turned his attention back to the matter of the Dark Demonic Wolf.
Frankly speaking, Klein didn't think he had any advantage in tracking this Mythical Creature. Whether it was his understanding of the Forsaken Land of the Gods or his grasp of the target's situation, he was far inferior to Amon, who had been exploring this place for over a thousand years, and the Blessed of the " True Creator " who were fighting on their home turf.
"My only advantage is that I am on the same ' Seer ' path as the Dark Demonic Wolf and possess the ' Sefirah Castle.' Our Beyonder Characteristic have a strong tendency to converge, which will have a certain effect on Fate and judgment... However, Amon is the Angel King on a similar path, and there is also Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence between him and the Dark Demonic Wolf. His effect will not be much worse than mine... worse..." Klein thought carefully for a while, and suddenly had an Spirit Intuition, finding his greatest advantage.
That advantage is:
He is very weak!
Compared to Amon, the " True Creator " servant, and the Dark Demonic Wolf, he was very weak!
In most situations, this is a disadvantage, but in some cases, it may bring Klein what he wants.
"My low level and weak strength mean that I can become the hunting target of the Dark Demonic Wolf... It's difficult for me to find Him, so why not let Him come to me! An ' Scholar of Yore ' might not be of interest to the Dark Demonic Wolf, but if this ' Scholar of Yore ' can also activate the ' Sefirah Castle,' that's a different story... I can activate the ' Sefirah Castle ' from time to time, or leave behind the aura of Gray Fog, to lure the Dark Demonic Wolf out..." The more Klein thought about it, the more likely he felt that his idea was feasible.
Of course, this is extremely dangerous. One wrong move and you could lure Amon, or even the " True Creator." The Dark Demonic Wolf might choose to observe secretly before launching a surprise attack, giving Klein no chance to prepare.
"Before taking this approach, we must make sufficient preparations... Let's not rush..." Klein sighed, grabbed a piece of a black-on-the-outside, red-on-the-inside Demonic Wolf statue from thin air.
Although he was unable to actually obtain the item due to Amon's obstruction, that did not prevent him from taking it out from the Historical Void, because he had already seen it and held it in his hands, and the item itself was not of a high level.
At this moment, Klein needs to use this fragment to reverse the process and find the previous hiding place of the Dark Demonic Wolf, gradually figuring out its modus operandi.
In the wilderness ruled by endless darkness, Klein, carrying a lantern that emitted Yellow Light, made his way around and changed direction, gradually venturing deeper into the wilderness.
