Klein originally thought that the " Wishes " ability was something he could use at will, as long as it didn't exceed a certain limit. Who knew that its effects didn't just come from Beyonder Characteristic?
Simply put, a " Miracle Invoker " must first collect and fulfill all sorts of Wishes before they can possibly turn the corresponding situation into reality by making a wish to themselves during battle. Moreover, in the beginning, the Wishes that Klein can fulfill are very small, and he must accumulate them step by step in order to create "miracles." He cannot just do whatever he wants.
"Well, if I wanted to transfer locations by making a wish like the Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar, I would have to fulfill many similar Wishes from others beforehand, ranging from simple to difficult... There is a shortcut in this regard, though. I can use ' Creeping Hunger ' and ' Staff of the Stars ' to fulfill the corresponding Wishes, without having to start with the simplest ones..."
"Speaking of which, the ability of ' Wishes ' is somewhat like using an anchor, belonging to the 'crowd-gathering' type. Since the believers' understanding of the gods can effectively influence the gods, becoming a kind of 'positioning' and helping them resist the Primordial spiritual imprint within their Beyonder Characteristic, then similar Wishes from different Spirituality beings can indeed help me create 'miracles'..."
"This may be related to the Sea of Collective Subconscious. It's not very scientific, but it's certainly mysterious enough..." After figuring out the situation regarding the " Wishes " ability, Klein also had some initial ideas about how to Acting the role of a " Miracle Invoker ".
That is to walk in the real world, as the highest-level " Magician," to let different people witness "miracles" and fulfill their Wishes.
"No wonder the Dark Demonic Wolf was originally called the ' God of Wishes '... As this belief spread, many people expressed their Wishes through prayer, hoping the ' Miracle Invoker ' would respond remotely. This certainly made the Acting much simpler and saved a lot of time. However, the problem is that the Potion is called ' Miracle Invoker,' not ' God of Wishes.' The person being Acting is not a deity, and there is still a significant difference between the two..."
"I can wander from country to country, letting different people witness 'miracles,' while simultaneously fulfilling the Wishes of believers in the name of ' The Fool,' to see which approach is more effective..."
"However, the rules for Acting the ' Miracle Invoker ' are not limited to just this... You also have to actively create near-miraculous things in reality and leave behind corresponding legends?" Klein tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers and muttered a few words to himself.
During his examination, he discovered that he had already digested most of the Potion he had just consumed, after all, he had repeatedly created "miracles," even "resurrecting" three times.
Of course, Klein believed this was very opportunistic, because his ability to create "miracles" and Acting in advance relied more on " Sefirah Castle ".
"It's like it was all arranged by someone..." Klein sighed inwardly, feeling not relieved, but rather increasingly solemn and wary.
As for who arranged it, he had one suspect:
The " Mysteries " being mentioned by the Ancient The Sun God is likely the being known as " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings ".
What puzzled Klein even more was that after he advanced to Sequence 2, became Angel, and completed the qualitative change, " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings " did not appear, nor did it begin to awaken within his body.
This was completely different from what he had expected.
"There isn't even a trace left, except for the inevitable contamination of the Primordial spiritual imprint, hmm, it should be the spiritual imprint left in the Beyonder Characteristic by the Primordial... Could it be that ' Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings ' has died completely after arranging everything, and no longer has the ability to affect me or be resurrected from my body? If that's the case, then I must thank Him properly!" Klein made a self-deprecating remark, and stood up with vigilance and doubt.
With a thought, he appeared directly on the gray-white clouds and arrived in front of the strange Door of Light.
Klein glanced at the numerous transparent "cocoons" hanging overhead, then slowly extended his right hand and touched the Door of Light.
Having truly become the master of this mysterious space, he clearly recognized a fact upon his return: the strange Door of Light was the core of this place, the true " Sefirah Castle," and this boundless void belonged to the divine kingdom inherent in the " Sefirah Castle."
As for the ancient palace, the bronze table with twenty-two high-backed chairs, and the items that members of the Tarot Club usually manifest, Klein believes they are manifestations of the power of " Wishes ".
In other words, when he desired a palace and a gathering place, " Sefirah Castle " fulfilled his Wishes.
Since his Wishes was not specifically described, " Sefirah Castle " was a scene extracted from similar Wishes in the past— Klein suspected that the ancient Greek-style palace and the ancient long table with exactly twenty-two high-backed chairs were manifestations of the being who was suspected to be " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings ".
As he moved inch by inch, Klein's right hand pressed against the edge of the Door of Light.
This time, his palm didn't pass directly through; it touched something tangible.
Suddenly, the Door of Light trembled slightly, and the "cocoons" hanging above it, each with a human figure on it, began to sway in the same pattern.
Above the gray-white mist, in the boundless void where only an ancient palace stands, skyscrapers rise rapidly, cars appear one after another, and pedestrians emerge abruptly.
In one of the residential communities, in an ordinary rented room, a dim energy-saving light illuminated the window.
This is what the City of the Great Old One looked like before the catastrophe that occurred before the First Epoch; this is where Klein once lived.
Klein looked around, sighed, and let it all disappear from his sight.
"As expected, I can now use the power of the ' Sefirah Castle ' to a basic extent... With this, if I were above the Gray Fog, I would be close to the level of Angel King, and the authority I would display would not only be 'miracles,' but also include some ' Planeswalker ' and ' Fate Trojan Horse ' abilities..."
"If I return to the real world, besides being able to further utilize the aura of the ' Sefirah Castle,' I can also directly extract some of its power... This should allow me to construct a prototype of a divine kingdom, reaching Sequence 1 within it... Unfortunately, I can't use the high-level extraordinary abilities of ' Marauder ' and ' Apprentice ' in reality yet..." Klein assessed while casting his gaze upon the transparent "cocoons" suspended above the Door of Light.
He ultimately did not release the people inside, because he knew that this would inevitably be used by Amon.
After confirming all the details, Klein returned to the ancient palace and sat down in the high-backed chair of " The Fool ".
He remembered that some of his memories were sealed away, so he summoned the piece of paper from the pile of junk.
Upon unfolding the document, Klein's gaze narrowed slightly, his lips moved, and he muttered to himself:
" The Great Old One, Outer Deity, the Starry Sky, the Creator, Above the Sequence... So that's how it is..."
At this moment, he fully understood the meaning of the previous divine war, the possible origin of the Apocalypse, the tacit approval of the birth of the " Black Emperor " by the Seven Gods, and their indifference to the return of the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit to reality.
Judging from the information provided by Leonard and "Miss Justice," Loen has achieved final victory, and the " God of Combat " has most likely fallen... In other words, the goddess succeeded, but it's unknown what conditions she still needs to meet to reach the ' Great Old One ' Above the Sequence... I'll summon Arrodes later to inquire about the specifics of all aspects and grasp the current situation... Thinking of this, Klein recalled various details from the past, connecting many things together:
"That ' Earth Mother,' whose identity is unknown, could have successfully Acting the Giant Queen Omebella for thousands of years without being exposed. It would have been absolutely impossible without ' Concealment ' assistance... Hiss, the goddess has been plotting this since the Third Age, or even at the end of the Second Age?"
"It feels... it feels even more terrifying Amon..."
"Well, ' Concealment ' can only conceal traces in various aspects and mislead corresponding inquiries and Divination; it cannot allow a person to make a disguise. The fact that the ' Earth Mother ' could impersonate Omebella without arousing suspicion from the ' God of Combat ' suggests other factors... For example, did some being help her Stealing the Fate of the Giant Queen? In that era, only one person possessed similar authority and was qualified to participate in this matter: the Ancient The Sun God, the second-generation Creator, and the father of Amon and Adam..."
"If that's the case, the goddess and the Ancient The Sun God should have had a cooperative relationship long ago, until the Primordial being awakened within that new Creator... This also explains why the ' Dark Angel ' Sasrir considered the goddess first when seeking allies; of course, ' Concealment ' was an equally important factor..."
"From the moment she obtained the ' Uniqueness ' of the ' Death ' pathway, the Goddess was already laying the groundwork. On one hand, she had me take over the Spirituality Religion's Artificial Death Faction's influence in Backlund, creating the illusion that everything was normal. On the other hand, she didn't deal with anyone or anything that might discover something amiss, leading to a leak. Thus, in the ' God of Combat's' eyes, it appeared that the Goddess was trying her best to cover up a secret, but because she was still processing the ' Uniqueness ' and lacked control, she failed to achieve her goal..."
"Afterwards, whether she tacitly allowed George III to become the ' Black Emperor ' or helped me disrupt the other party's ritual, the goddess didn't care about the final outcome. Her main purpose was to demonstrate that she was unable to directly intervene in reality, further deepening the image of her embracing the ' Uniqueness ' of the ' Death ' pathway..."
There are many, many more similar details...
"As for the ' God of Combat,' having a relatively deep understanding of the goddess, he certainly didn't believe in this matter. Therefore, he chose to proceed cautiously, first shaking the goddess's anchor, causing her spirit to be corrupted, forcing her to devote most of her mind to fighting the corruption, and only then joining forces with the ' Earth Mother ' to besiege the goddess..."
"This... has fallen right into the goddess's trap..."
"In other words, the true purpose of the goddess's previous performances was not to create a problem regarding the ' Uniqueness ' of the ' Death ' path, but to make the other gods focus on this matter and ignore the possibility that the ' Earth Mother ' might be problematic..."
"That's terrifying..."
Klein sighed sincerely, feeling that Adam and Amon were a level less terrifying than the goddess.
He shook his head, conjured paper and pen, and wrote down his admonition to himself:
Always remember that you are him, not Him.
