Adam turned his head and looked at Klein, his clear, light-colored eyes reflecting the face from which streaks of bright red blood flowed.
His expression remained unchanged, gentle yet tinged with pity, as if a god were watching over humanity.
Klein smiled as he looked at Him, his head splitting open inch by inch.
This trend then spread to his body, causing him to collapse into a pool of blood.
Levitation in the blood were shirts, coats, and other items, while the blood-stained wooden cross and an old-fashioned mirror lay submerged.
Inside the Corpse Cathedral, in the divine realm of " Visionary " Adam, Klein died mysteriously.
Adam, dressed in a simple white robe, watched this scene with a gentle and calm demeanor, whether he had expected it or had simply suppressed his emotions.
Above the Gray Fog, inside the ancient palace.
The frenzied "worm vortex" instantly went still, disintegrating into countless lifeless " Worm of Spirit."
The next second, these " Worm of Spirit " became ethereal, tinged with gray and white, as if they had merged into the Fog of History.
Then, they came back to life, wriggling and coalescing together as they shimmered with a deep, eerie light.
In just a few seconds, the " Worm of Spirit " Reorganization into a human figure, none other than Klein Moretti, with black hair, brown eyes, and a formal shirt.
With the return of the " Sefirah Castle " owner, the destroyed, mottled long table and twenty-two high-backed chairs were quickly restored, and the scattered debris was once again piled up.
Klein picked up the " Staff of the Stars " inlaid with various gems and sat down in the seat belonging to the " The Fool ".
The entire space above the Gray Fog trembled, unleashing a vast and boundless invisible force.
Klein immediately nodded to the golden figure occupying Bernadette's "prayer light spot" and said:
I will keep my promise.
The Deng Shen chuckled and said:
"It seems you haven't inherited his cunning and shamelessness. Good."
As soon as the words were spoken, the blurry, Distortion golden figure rapidly retreated, no longer projecting onto Bernadette's "prayer light."
"Well done." Klein replied to the " Mystery Queen's" prayer by sending away one of his " Worm of Spirit," then lowered his head and wished to himself, "I hope I can return to my state before tonight."
When his physical body died, he only took with him the most core part of the Beyonder Characteristic of the " Miracle Invoker." The rest was isolated by Adam's Corpse Cathedral and could not be recovered.
Of course, a large part of Klein's characteristics are still within the " Worm of Spirit " above the Gray Fog. Zaratul does not need additional Beyonder Characteristic in the remaining Marionette in Utopia, nor does he want to affect his own state. Therefore, he did not directly use the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence to absorb the characteristics of the same path in Utopia, but used another method to collect them. That method is relatively slow and requires a certain amount of time.
After making the Wishes, Klein summoned the " Curtain," draped it behind his back, and snapped his fingers.
Within the pile of debris, the Beyonder Characteristic of the " Seer " pathways Sequence 9 to Sequence 3, which had previously separated from the " Curtain," simultaneously surfaced, transforming into pure specks of light that entered Klein's body.
His condition instantly returned to the state he was in before when he had almost fully digested the " Miracle Invoker " Potion; apart from lacking a physical body, he was no different from when he was attacked.
Klein then turned his attention to Utopia, which was closely connected to him.
Within Utopia, Zarathustra, with a white beard, a hood, and a black robe, stands on the roof of the Saint Arianna Church Zaratul, surrounded by Historical Projection of Roselle Gustav, William Augustus, and the " God's Abomination " Suah, patiently awaiting the opening of the Corpse Cathedral so that Gehrman Sparrow may emerge on his own.
Under His Manipulation, some of His Marionette dealt with the small number of Utopia Marionette that were beginning to mutate, leaving the Marionette that were still functioning normally until the very end.
At that moment, on the part of the Utopia Marionette that had been standing still, ethereal and fine " Spirit Body Threads " suddenly rose and rapidly floated to infinite heights.
They instantly came to life, turning around in unison to look at Zaratul and His Historical Projection.
Those eyes gleamed in the darkness.
At the same time, a huge shadow fell from the faintly emerging gray-white mist, enveloping the entire Utopia.
Zaratul and His Historical Projection instinctively raised their heads and looked up at the high sky, which was filled with a light Gray Fog.
"This place must not be sealed off." The next second, William Augustus's Historical Projection raised the longsword in his right hand and solemnly announced.
The shadow that had enveloped Utopia suddenly began to tremble, revealing several gaps that prevented the Marionette city from being completely isolated from the outside world.
Roselle Gustav's Historical Projection immediately transformed into a massive torrent of information, surging towards the remaining Marionette of Klein, attempting to disrupt their actions. Meanwhile, the Historical Void image of " God's Abomination " Suah attacked the Curtain- like shadow, expanding the corresponding pores.
Zaratul then stretched out his hand, "connecting" the void in front of him with another island in the Raging Sea that he had located beforehand.
Next, all He needs to do is take one more step forward to escape Utopia.
Just then, before the torrent of information could flood their spirits, Klein's Marionette simultaneously opened their mouths and chanted a spell in Jotun:
" Leodero!"
In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, because of the residual divine power of the " Tyrant," Klein could directly invoke the power of the gods simply by using that name. But it's not like that in the outside world. Whether or not to punish the one who calls out His true name is up to the " Lord of Storms."
Klein had the Marionette chant this name simultaneously, the sole purpose of which was to draw the attention of the " Lord of Storms."
As one of the five paths to " Omnipotence and Omniscience and omnipotence," the " Lord of Storms " is probably one of the true gods who least wants to see Adam's scheme succeed. If Amon becomes the " Lord of Mysteries " and the " King of Space-Time," this " Tyrant " will be in a very dangerous situation, constantly worried that the son of the Creator will deal with him and help Adam or the " True Creator " ascend to the position of " Lord of the Astral World."
Therefore, compared to the " Evernight Goddess " and the Earth Mother," the " Lord of Storms," the " Eternal Blazing Sun," and the " God of Knowledge and Wisdom " are probably even less inclined to see Adam and Amon succeed.
If the opportunity arises again, Klein intends to have the Marionette continue chanting " Aucuses " and " Herabergen "!
The area around Utopia suddenly became gloomy, as if harboring an unspeakable wrath of nature.
Before Zaratul could take that step, bolts of lightning of different colors leaped across the night sky, baring their fangs and expanding wildly, seemingly engulfing the entire sky in a sea of thunder.
Before the deafening roar could be heard, lightning bolts rained down on Utopia like a torrential downpour.
Rorsted Archipelago, New City of Silver, Top of the Round Tower.
While gazing at the epicenter of the earthquake Derrick Berg heard the sound of doors and windows opening simultaneously—and not just one, but thousands upon thousands.
Although this didn't pose any direct danger, the strange changes still kept Derrick on high alert.
After a slight hesitation, he prepared to approach the current chief, Waite Chirmont, to propose using the divine-level Sealed Artifact " Proof of Glory " to first protect New City of Silver and New Moon City in the nearby forest, and then decide whether to pray to Mr. " The Fool " based on the progress of the anomaly.
Just as he turned to walk towards the door, Waite Chirmont, with a dark blue symbol tattooed on his head, emerged from the light in the corridor and said in a deep voice:
"The underground seal has failed."
The seal has failed... Derrick instinctively believes this is related to the anomalies on Blue Mountain Island.
Compared to leaving doors and windows wide open, the consequences of the seal failing are far more terrifying!
"Use ' Proof of Glory ' immediately!" Derrick said without hesitation.
This is a divine-level Sealed Artifact that can be used in a short period of time. It once helped City of Silver withstand disaster after disaster in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, allowing them to survive until the present era and be saved.
Derrick's idea was clear: to use " Proof of Glory " to suppress the other god-level Sealed Artifact, " Earth's Gift," and to suppress the saint-level Sealed Artifact that would soon have a negative impact on the surrounding area.
Without saying much, Waite Chirmont made a decision immediately, taking Derrick with him and using the light to hide underground.
The " Proof of Glory " can only be used by at least two Saint. This is why Waite Chirmont did not immediately go to the underground but came to find Derrick first. Of course, if he just wanted to use it simply, there were shortcuts, but he had to prepare in advance and "brand" the corresponding mark onto his body.
Bayam, the Sea Waves Cathedral.
A flash of lightning streaked into Alger Wilson's room, transforming into a rapid sound:
"Your Excellency Cardinal, most of the underground seals have failed! Only the balance maintained between certain items through effect counters remains!"
Alger's eyebrows twitched slightly, and as the doors and windows of Bayam City simultaneously opened, he sensed that something was amiss.
He immediately addressed the void:
"You will immediately form teams of three and remove any Level 2 or Level 3 Sealed Artifact that will not pose a significant threat in the short term and that possess signs of life from underground to prevent a chain reaction."
In this way, the underground will become a no-man's land, and those dangerous Sealed Artifact will not be able to cause casualties in the short term.
As time goes by, once the anomaly of the seal's failure has passed, the " Mandated Punishers " will be able to deal with these items.
However, this is on the premise that the three Level 1 Sealed Artifact do not go out of control.
If they run into problems, the negative effects will soon impact the entire Bayam.
However, since the seal has already broken, it's highly likely that these three items will not cause any problems.
Alger's first thought was to take the one with the widest negative effect, use his own abilities to temporarily control it, and then fly to the sea, far away from Bayam.
This wouldn't pose too much danger to him in the short term, after all, he was a Demigod. The biggest problem was that the remaining two "Level 1" Sealed Artifact would undoubtedly cause considerable damage to Bayam.
At least I tried my best... Alger thought this method was both safe and could handle the Church of Storms' subsequent investigation, which was quite good.
His gaze unconsciously drifted out the window, where he saw several schools and workhouses in the vicinity of the church.
Alger withdrew his gaze, paused for two seconds, sighed, and continued:
"Leave the rest to me."
His words transformed into waves of electricity, which combined to form silvery lightning that shot into the earth.
