Mysteries... The last time Klein heard this title was from the consciousness of the descending " True Creator," and before that, it was from the Ancient The Sun God in history, the Creator City of Silver.
In a sense, these two can be equated:
The True Creator essentially reclaimed the Ancient The Sun God " Evil Spirit " from Sasrir's persona.
However, unlike before, Klein was not shocked or flustered upon hearing this title; his heart trembled and his teeth ached.
He felt as if he had seen a stone that had been hanging for a long time finally fall to the ground.
Of course, he wasn't entirely calm either; a certain degree of surprise, astonishment, and disbelief was inevitable. It was just that the ancient spirit dragon, Arihogg, saying " Adam is not necessarily Adam " had led him to speculate on various possibilities and prepare him accordingly.
We meet again, Mysteries... Is Adam the Ancient The Sun God? Or a backup plan for the resurrection of the Ancient The Sun God? He knows this, yet still wants to resurrect his father, which is why Medici calls him a "paranoid"? A series of thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, leading to a completely new understanding of a certain event from before:
No wonder Adam never proclaimed his own doctrines, but only spread the legacy of the Ancient The Sun God!
Klein the Original thought that the " Visionary " was special enough to create a group of seemingly real believers as anchors through " Uniqueness," without needing to collect faith separately. But now it seems that this may only be one of the reasons.
After a two-second silence, he looked into Adam's seemingly pure, pale eyes and said:
"Are you the Ancient The Sun God?"
Adam maintained the pastor's warm smile and spoke in an inspiring tone:
Don't you think I'm the most special one among the eight Angel King?
"After seeing the contents of the second ' Blasphemy Slate ' regarding the Great Old One, you should be able to clearly recognize this."
Indeed... Klein nodded, indicating that he could tell:
"Of the five Angel King associated with ' Omnipotence and Omniscience,' you are the only one with ' Uniqueness.'"
Based on Klein's current knowledge of occultism, the states of the eight Angel King were as follows when the Creator of City of Silver was still alive:
" Dark Angel " Sasrir digested two Sequence 1 of the " The Hanged Man " pathway and possessed the first " Blasphemy Slate," allowing him to partially mobilize the power of the " Chaos Sea." Therefore, he is the Heaven's Deputy, the Left Hand of God, and the Angel King among the Angel King.
The " Angel of Pure White " Aucuses encompasses two Sequence 1 of the " The Sun " pathway.
The Angel of Wind Leodero, the Angel of Wisdom Herabergen, and the Ouroboros Angel of Fate all possess two Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic of this pathway;
" Angel of Time " Amon and " Red Angel " Medici possess Uniqueness, each with a corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic.
" Angel of Imagination " Adam is the " Spectator " pathway " Uniqueness " plus one or two Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic.
At first glance, there seems to be no problem, but upon closer inspection, something is a bit strange:
Neither " Angel of Time " Amon nor " Red Angel " Medici belong to the five pathways of " Omnipotence and Omniscience." It's understandable that the Ancient The Sun God god bestowed " Uniqueness " upon them through various means. However, Adam is different. " The Visionary " belongs to one of the five pathways of " Omnipotence and Omniscience," and his corresponding " Uniqueness " is one of the cornerstones of the Ancient The Sun God becoming the Great Old One. In other words, this is roughly equivalent to one of the three Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic that make up Sequence 0. How could it be arbitrarily separated?
It's important to understand that even Sasrir, as the Heaven's Deputy and the Left Hand of God, didn't obtain the " Uniqueness " of the " The Hanged Man " pathway, let alone the three " Angel of Wind " Leodero, " Angel of Wisdom " Heraberg, and " Angel of Pure White " Aucuses.
Klein initially thought that the Ancient The Sun God had sensed the revival of the " Primordial " and deliberately separated one of the five " Uniqueness " by having children, thus lowering his own status to resist that erosion and pollution.
This was likely also the thought of other gods and Angel King of that era.
When Klein heard Arihogg's words, " Adam wasn't necessarily Adam," Klein realized there might be a deeper secret hidden in the matter and began to speculate.
After witnessing the last few lines of the second " Blasphemy Slate," he felt even more puzzled, because " Uniqueness " was one of the cornerstones of the Great Old One. If the Sefirah was the foundation, then the corresponding " Uniqueness " was the different load-bearing pillars. Losing any one of them would cause a major problem. If the Ancient The Sun God wanted to actively lower his rank, a better choice would be to separate the Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic, which would be relatively safer.
Dressed in a simple white robe and sporting a thick golden beard, Adam walked step by step to Klein's side, turned around, and looked at the " Blasphemy Slate," saying:
"The ' Visionary ' has a very special feature."
"A normal Sequence 0 consists of ' Uniqueness ' plus three Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic. If any one of them is missing, it cannot be called a true god, but can only be considered the Angel King. However, a ' Visionary ' can separate two Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic after becoming Sequence 0 and replace them with the corresponding characteristics ' Envisioning '."
"Things ' Envisioning ' are real enough that they can function perfectly within the framework of ' Uniqueness ' plus a Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic, ensuring that the ' Visionary's ' status remains unchanged and their power undiminished."
"The two separate, real Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic can be combined with one of their own identities, or with a ' Envisioning ' being, to make them ' Author ', acting freely, and, when necessary, transforming into the original form through some means or medium."
"As for the ' Omnipotent and Omniscient,' they can 'create' a ' Uniqueness ' that lies between reality and illusion to maintain their own state, as long as it does not exceed the necessary limits."
So, is this the relationship between " Dragon of Imagination " Ankewelt and his child " Dragon of Nightmare " Alzuhod? I used to think the paths of " Seer " and " Marauder " were the most bizarre, but now it seems they can't compare to " The Spectator "... Sigh, beware of the Spectator... Klein finally resolved a major doubt in his mind and understood why " Dragon of Imagination " Ankewelt arranged for the quill pen "0-08" to meet " The Groselle's Travels ".
Once they meet, the quill pen "0-08," which originated from the " Dragon of Nightmare " Alzuhod, will "awaken" and become the " Dragon of Imagination " Ankewelt, whose status has been lowered. Then, this resurrected ancient god will use the negative personality of his own sealed behind the Bronze Gate to indirectly mobilize the power of the " Chaos Sea " and instantly reach the level of the strongest Angel King below the true god.
With this foundation, He had the opportunity to compete with Adam for the position of " Visionary " and be fully resurrected.
In comparison, the resurrection of the " Black Emperor " was simpler, more efficient, and more decisive... Klein nodded slightly and said:
What is the relationship between the ' Dragon of Imagination ' and the ' Dragon of Nightmare '?
Adam sat down next to Klein:
"Yes.
"However, the ' Dragon of Imagination ' itself has been corrupted and possesses characteristics from other sources, so its condition is not very good. Only one ' Author ' can be separated from it, otherwise it will directly go out of control."
Klein ignored Adam beside him and looked at the second " Blasphemy Slate " in front of him, saying:
"How is this different from the ' Marauder's ' clone?"
"If Amon can become ' the Error,' he can also create at least two Sequence 1 clones."
Adam leaned forward slightly and gave a simple explanation:
"The clone and the original body are still one entity, just located in different places."
Does this mean that the " Envisioning " Sequence 1 is completely separated from the original entity and can be considered another person, who can only be awakened through some means or with the help of certain media? Klein asked thoughtfully:
"Did you awaken when you became a ' Visionary '?"
"No," Adam replied gently, his gaze fixed ahead, "When I fall and 'truth' is born."
Klein asked, somewhat taken aback:
"Does no one have any doubts?"
If the gods knew that the Ancient The Sun God had long since "resurrected" in Adam, the history of the Fourth Age would probably have been the annihilation of the Solomon Empire and the meeting of the Hermits of Fate the Amon Family.
"Besides the certainty of 'truth,' perhaps only the Evernight might harbor some doubt," Adam said calmly. "I disguised myself as a paranoid, a paranoid who wants his father to awaken within him. For an Angel King of the ' Visionary ' pathway, this is not difficult."
"That Medici..." Klein suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for " Red Angel."
Thinking of this, he looked down at the blood-stained wooden stake stuck in his chest and felt that he deserved more sympathy.
Adam calmly said:
"This is a necessary sacrifice."
"Why do you think He was able to survive for so many years after becoming Evil Spirit without being discovered?"
Klein paused for two seconds, then asked:
"You're just going to make me wait like this?"
"You can choose to leave this Corpse Cathedral, but Zaratul is waiting for you at the door. In your current state, you can only become His Marionette," Adam said without any emotional fluctuation.
Klein fell silent and began to reinterpret the remaining contents of the second " Blasphemy Slate ".
In the Sonia Sea, the " Dawn " sailed silently on the undulating blue waves.
Bernadette suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.
She frowned slightly, then picked up an item that was placed next to her.
The object was entirely golden, with indescribable mysterious symbols engraved on its surface, resembling a miniature kettle.
This is the Sealed Artifact "0-05", the " Wishing Lamp ".
Bernadette held the magic lamp, bowed her head slightly, and recited a sacred name:
" The Fool That Doesn't Belong to This Era ";
" The Mysterious Ruler Above the Gray Fog:"
" The King of Yellow and Black, who holds the key to good fortune..."
