"Who am I?" Klein, who was about to deactivate the preservation of the Historical Void image, was taken aback by Amon's question.
He controlled himself, preventing his brow from furrowing slightly, and instead of answering, he asked:
"You are not Amon's original form?"
Standing on the edge of the "cliff," Amon took a step forward and said with a smile:
Of course not.
"You seem to know my main body, or one of my other avatars?"
Although Amon on the other side did not make a move, His step forward still brought Klein indescribable pressure, and he barely managed not to retreat in response, thus revealing his cowardice.
He hummed in response, his voice low and deep:
"That's why I'm surprised you don't recognize me."
"Are you famous?" Amon, who had crawled out of the void of darkness, teased with a smile, then raised his hand to adjust the crystal monocle he was wearing over his right eye.
The movement remained frozen for several seconds after it was completed before ending, and Amon murmured as if deep in thought:
"There's no one else around... Is it really no one, or have we completely lost contact?"
What unexpected event led to Amon's independence? No, I can't trust anything this guy says; he's a top-tier Deceit Master... Klein's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly suppressed the thought and asked instead:
Why did you crawl out from underground?
Amon's expression returned to normal, and he chuckled:
"You guess."
Whether it's the main body or the clone, the one thing that remains unchanged is its wicked personality... Klein muttered to himself, then tentatively replied:
"You are exploring the secrets of the earth."
Amon nodded slightly and said:
Isn't that obvious?
He immediately turned halfway around and pointed to the darkness ahead of the "cliff" that the light could not illuminate, saying:
"My father crawled out of here just like I did."
"Oh right, it has a name, you should have heard of it, ' The Chaos Sea '."
" The Chaos Sea "? The " Chaos Sea," one of the nine " Sefirah "... It really is hidden deep underground... Was the pollution behind the Bronze Gate really caused by it? I supplemented my knowledge of this kind of occultism by chatting with Amon... The Ancient The Sun God was originally a member of this research institute, and then fell into the " Chaos Sea " deep underground during the collapse, only to awaken and climb out in the Second Era? Because he was just an ordinary person at the time, according to the rule that the higher the Sequence, the more dangerous it is to be near the underground, he was not greatly affected? Klein's thoughts raced, recalling one thing after another, and making one guess after another.
Two or three seconds later, he cooperated and said:
"So you risked jumping in to find the buried history and the truth of the world?"
"That's roughly it." Amon pinched the top and bottom edges of his monocle, his tone slightly self-deprecating, "But I didn't do it voluntarily."
"Huh?" Klein expressed his question with a simple pronunciation.
Amon smiled and said:
"Everyone knows that the depths underground are dangerous and no one wants to go down there themselves. We tried many roundabout methods, including creating Marionette to replace ourselves, but none of them succeeded and we couldn't get any feedback."
"Finally, under the guidance of the main body, we conducted a fair vote, and unfortunately, I was chosen."
... It's a miracle that Amon hasn't completely gone mad yet... No wonder he's called the " God of Mischief," even internal decisions are made in such a prankish way... Klein suppressed the urge to retort and said:
"And then, you jumped down yourself?"
"We can't just wait to be thrown down by them," Amon said, shrugging.
At this point, He seemed to finally understand something, and muttered to himself:
"Did the ' Chaos Sea ' sever my connection with my main body and with my surrounding clones?"
"I'm independent now?"
Independent... Before, in front of the bronze gate of the Hall of Honesty, I felt that every cell and every " Worm of Spirit " was giving birth to new consciousness, creating a self different from the original body... It's normal for Amon's clone to undergo similar changes since it directly entered the " Chaos Sea "... An independent clone of Amon should be able to effectively trick Amon's original body... No, I can't believe it... Klein had just initially confirmed Amon's words from his own experience, but then he suddenly warned himself that he must never trust the " God of Deceit ".
He smiled and said:
I suspect you're Deceit me.
Amon adjusted his monocle made of crystal, looked Klein up and down for a few seconds, and said:
Whether you believe me or not is meaningless to me. Even if I wanted to find a partner, I wouldn't choose someone as weak as you.
In the era of the Eight Angel King, were you and " Red Angel " Medici quite close...? Klein, having decided not to believe that Amon had become independent, tentatively asked:
What did you discover within the ' Chaos Sea '?
"There are many, guess what they are," Amon said with a smile.
"We found nothing," Klein said deliberately.
Amon shook his head:
"I think the others probably think the same way, and since I haven't come out or responded for a long time, it's reasonable to assume that I've been Corrosion and digested by the ' Chaos Sea '."
Before Klein could respond, Amon continued speaking to himself:
"The ' Chaos Sea ' is extremely large, almost filling the Earth's core and submerging the next level. It is also the only ' Sefirah ' that combines reality and illusion, with a direct entrance in the real world. The others are either completely illusory, hidden somewhere unknown, or absolutely real, coexisting with reality."
"I discovered something very interesting inside. The first ' Blasphemy Slate ' should have been conceived and formed there, but was later pulled away by some force and left the underground before it was complete."
"My father may have the Original viewed that ' Blasphemy Slate,' which is why, upon his fall, his remains coalesced into a second ' Blasphemy Slate.'"
So this is the origin of the two " Blasphemy Slate "? No wonder the Ancient The Sun God was so powerful in the late Second Age... Klein seemed to understand something vaguely, and subconsciously asked:
What's the difference between the two ' Blasphemy Slate '?
Amon adjusted the position of his crystal monocle and said:
The second ' Blasphemy Slate ' had some Sequence names changed and some additional content added.
"Those contents contain secrets that Beyond the Sequence."
" Beyond the Sequence?" Klein's pupils widened slightly, feeling as if a long-held suspicion had been confirmed. "To become Creator?"
Amon smiled and said:
"Almost, but that description isn't accurate enough."
"I prefer to call that level ' Above the Sequence,' but some true gods name it differently; some call it ' the Great Old One,' some call it ' Outer Deity,' and some refer to it as ' the Starry Sky.'"
" Starry Sky "... The moment Klein heard this word, his Spirituality intuition began to issue a frantic warning.
He remembered clearly that Arianna, the leader of the Ascetic of the Church of Evernight, had told him that one should not attempt to understand the Starry Sky unless one reached the level of Angel, otherwise the mere act of understanding it would bring great danger!
Without hesitation, Klein, who had been hiding in the Historical Void before the First Era, abandoned maintaining the projection, stood up on the layers of City of the Great Old One, and took four steps backward.
Almost simultaneously, the violent lightning that had been streaking across the sky above the Forsaken Land of the Gods subsided, and the endless darkness vanished.
A huge red moon occupied half of the sky.
The light on the surface of the crimson moon flickered and expanded, as if it had come alive.
Beyond this world, on the moon orbiting the Earth, flows a crimson sea that engulfs everything, as if embracing and digesting this enormous natural satellite.
When Klein learned about the " Great Old One," the " Outer Deity," and the " Starry Sky," this sea of blood boiled.
They rapidly coalesced towards the center, piling up until they finally formed a blood-red phantom whose exact shape was obscured.
This phantom was many times larger than the moon and had countless eyes. It looked down at the blue planet and turned its gaze to Klein's real body, with whom it had established a connection through understanding!
As the crimson sea receded, many craters were revealed on the moon's surface.
Looking down from the ground, the Moon is no longer crimson; it is bright, clear, and cold, unchanged for billions of years.
In the far reaches of the universe, brown stars, orange stars, red stars, Venus, and Blue Star twinkled simultaneously, as if they were blinking.
Within the Fog of History, blisters emerged from Klein's body, each containing a mutated " Worm of Spirit " bearing the faces of Zhou Mingrui, Klein Moretti, Gehrman Sparrow, and Dawn Dantès, each struggling to emerge.
Klein's thoughts quickly became chaotic, his entire spirit body feeling as if it were being torn apart by invisible blades, but he still forced himself to finish reciting the last line of the incantation:
" Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings!"
Silently, Klein's spirit passed through the Gray Fog and entered the " Sefirah Castle." The power of the entire space boiled on its own, surging and enveloping him, dissolving wisps of black energy, streaks of Red Light, and bubbles, severing the invisible connection.
Nearly ten seconds later, Klein, who had been struggling and rolling around, finally regained consciousness and stood up, leaning on the high-backed chair for support.
Inside Chernobyl, standing on the edge of the "cliff," Amon adjusted the monocle he wore over his right eye and muttered to himself:
"You reacted very quickly..."
If Klein had been even a second slower, and had been caught up in that chaotic state, failing to disengage from the Historical Void image, Amon would have been able to Deceit the connection between the projection and the original body, appearing directly within the corresponding historical fragment.
Above the Gray Fog, Klein sat down and rubbed his temples:
"That Amon was indeed lying..."
"He must be the avatar left behind in Chernobyl. After sensing my arrival, since he couldn't bypass the Historical Projection to directly confront the main body, and might not even have the strength of Sequence 2 Angel, he hid somewhere between the 'cliff' and the ' Chaos Sea,' pretending to be a newly emerged, independent avatar, thus Deceit..."
"On the surface, He tried to make me believe that the clones were independent and could cooperate, focusing my attention on that aspect, but in reality, He concealed the danger in His words..."
Even a normal conversation with the ' God of Deceit ' can lead to being scammed...
"However, in order to achieve his goal, He also revealed a considerable amount of Concealment..."
