Mr. "Door," the figure formed from the collapsing sphere of light, froze there, seemingly caught in a fierce internal struggle.
The layers of doors within His body were just a hair's breadth away from completely overlapping.
Amidst the illusory splashing sounds, the crimson tide, barely managing to squeeze through the cracks of the " Door of Flesh and Blood," surged even more fiercely, and the blood-red robe fell heavily, attempting to envelop Bethel Abraham once more.
But as it fell, the surrounding bronze-colored eyes with wings, the young man in flame armor, the hazy light that highlighted eerie features, the earth with its eyes open and mouth closed, and the Specter woman all vanished simultaneously, disappearing from the world without a sound.
In an instant, a blazing, dazzling the Sun appeared in the sky above the forest, daylight replaced Evernight, and all shadows rapidly receded.
This forced the blood-red robe to flutter once more, scattering even more crimson Moonlight, allowing the numerous disturbances that had followed to return to their mother's embrace.
Seizing the opportunity, Mr. "Door" closed his slightly illusory eyes and lowered his head.
"Okay..." He uttered the first sound after returning to reality with difficulty and pain.
His figure froze completely, then he raised his right hand and brought it to his face.
The next second, Mr. "Door" raised his head, and a monocle made of crystal appeared over his right eye.
A burst of light suddenly erupted from that monocle, illuminating the entire world.
At this moment, all the Error of the seals failing were corrected, all seemingly normal behaviors Error, and all clocks skipped several seconds.
The ritual of " Marauder " Sequence 0 " Error " is:
To take His place in someone else's deification ceremony!
The return of Mr. "Door" seems to have directly triggered His ascension to godhood.
The light quickly faded, and "Mr. Door" had transformed into Amon, wearing a pointed soft hat and a classic black robe.
In the hand of this " Blasphemer " also lay a key forged from pure starlight, its design somewhat ancient.
Above Him, a blood-red robe fell down to embrace Him; behind Him, a crimson tide angrily pushed through the ruins of the " Door of Flesh and Blood," trying to completely squeeze into this world.
In that brief moment, the crimson Moonlight shone brightly, blocking out the Sun, the Evernight, the earth, the hazy light, and the strange White Tower.
Faced with the encroachment from the Outer Deity, Amon's lips curled slightly, and he stretched out his right hand, producing a mottled, exceptionally ancient stone slab from who-knows-where.
The first " Blasphemy Slate "!
Then, He used the stone slab born from the " Chaos Sea " to plug the remaining gap in the " Door of Flesh and Blood," and used it as a substitute to catch the falling blood-red robe.
The first " Blasphemy Slate " then became illusory, as if connected to a boundless sea that encompassed all colors and all possibilities.
The sea surged, swallowing the blood-red robe and blocking the crimson tide from the Starry Sky.
The already collapsing " Door of Flesh and Blood " shrank rapidly and soon disappeared, followed by an angry and terrifying roar that echoed endlessly.
The next second, the crimson moon reappeared high in the sky, quickly fading in color and becoming bright and clear, and above the bright moon seemed to be a huge, Distortion, scarlet figure.
Wearing a pointed soft hat and a classic black robe, Amon adjusted the monocle on his right eye, waved to the crimson figure watching him and the bright moon, then smiled, bowed slightly, and greeted the surroundings.
The interior of the Corpse Cathedral is adorned with a massive cross and stared at by countless skulls with their hollow "eyes".
Adam, dressed in a simple white robe, glanced at the relentless lightning outside the stained glass, slowly rose, walked to the pool of flesh and blood left by Klein, bent down and picked up the ancient and mysterious mirror.
Then He turned around and walked toward the second " Blasphemy Slate ".
The first figure Zaratul summoned from the Fog of History was still Roselle Gustav, wearing a dark red coat embroidered with gold thread and sporting long, slightly wavy chestnut hair.
For this " Attendant of Mysteries," there are quite a few Angel he has met and can summon in his long life, but only a handful are stronger than the Sequence 1 " Knowledge Emperor." For example, the ancestor of the Antigonus Family before he became half a " The Fool," the " Angel of Fate " Ouroboros, and the high-ranking members of the " Red of War " legion who can indirectly obtain the power of the " Red Angel."
However, under the current circumstances, Zaratul believes it is safer to first summon Roselle Gustav's Historical Void images:
Before becoming half a " The Fool," the ancestors of the Antigonus Family were also Sequence 1 " Attendant of Mysteries," who would be suppressed by enemies who further mastered the " Sefirah Castle," surpassing most Angel King in rank and approaching true godhood;
After Zaratul chooses to cooperate with the Rose School of Thought and Adam, the success rate of summoning the " Angel of Fate " Ouroboros will undoubtedly decrease significantly, making it unsuitable for attempting in emergencies.
The "Red of Red of War " high command, who can borrow power from the "Red Angel " of the past, do not directly possess the power, so their actual effectiveness is not much stronger than that of " Knowledge Emperor " Roselle Gustav.
In comparison, Zaratul would definitely choose the Historical Projection that he is most familiar with and that is easiest to summon.
His plan was to seize the opportunity when Gehrman Sparrow " Roaming " over without prior preparation for the Historical Void Shadow, and use " Knowledge Emperor " Roselle Gustav, the high command of the " Red of War," and " God's Abomination " Suah to entangle the opponent, giving himself enough time to create a miracle.
As soon as Roselle's figure appeared, complex and illusory symbols immediately condensed in his eyes, intending to pour a large amount of sparse, useless knowledge into the target's mind and burst it.
Meanwhile, Zaratul used pre-arranged connections to shift his position—this swamp was His domain—while sending slippery, transparent tentacles through his hooded black robe, extending into the Fog of History to summon the high-ranking member of the " Red of War."
At that moment, Roselle Gustav's Historical Projection suddenly turned its head and, through the subtle connection between them, looked at Zaratul's true form.
Zaratul's mind was instantly filled with a large amount of redundant information and useless knowledge, his head almost exploded, and his thoughts were temporarily unable to function.
He froze there, his gaze not even having a chance to change!
The Historical Projection Roselle Gustav, the " Knowledge Emperor " He summoned, betrayed Him!
Klein was both surprised and unsurprised by this result.
Unsurprisingly, this was something he orchestrated; his " Worm of Spirit " within the " Sefirah Castle " had " Grafting " Roselle's current state onto the Concealment state that Klein himself had experienced!
Surprisingly, Adam hadn't warned Zaratul to be wary of Roselle Gustav.
After Klein realized that things were somewhat coincidental, he prepared by using the connection between the " The Fool " symbol and the seal of Roselle Gustav. Through the corresponding prayer light, he transformed a " Worm of Spirit " carrying certain words and a certain will into light and threw it to the sleeping villager, awakening him. With the help of a "miracle", he gave him a little power to temporarily suppress the corruption of the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
At that time, the worst-case scenario that Klein had anticipated was that he would suffer some kind of accident and be unable to contact the " Sefirah Castle," causing the " Worm of Spirit " inside the " Sefirah Castle " and other " Worm of Spirit " scattered in different places to go out of control and become unable to save themselves.
Once he Roselle the " Worm of Spirit " to mutate, Roselle will know something is wrong and will use the " Black Emperor's " ability to Distortion order to keep the " Worm of Spirit " conscious for a certain period of time.
As for what method of self-salvation the " Worm of Spirit " and Roselle would come up with, Klein himself had no idea.
That's the real reason he was able to fool Adam!
Having learned from his experience in the Hall of Honesty, Klein knew that he would have no secrets from the " Visionary." Adam would clearly see and hear every self-help plan that Klein had thought of, whether it was something he had accumulated in the past or something that had just come to mind.
At his level, the only way to avoid it is that even he himself doesn't know how he will save himself.
Of course, Adam " Visionary " knew without a doubt that Klein had a " Worm of Spirit " in Roselle Gustav's Black Emperor's Tomb, and understood that his backup plan must have originated from there. But he couldn't pry into it, because it was a place corrupted by the " Mother Goddess of Depravity," a place where gods were corrupted by the " Starry Sky Roselle Gustav's thoughts was like prying into an Outer Deity!
This is a difference in social standing.
This is why Klein was able to calmly inquire about various Concealment and decipher the second " Blasphemy Slate." This was partly because the knowledge was indeed tempting, and partly because he was stalling for time, waiting for the other side to complete their self-rescue. At the same time, he was also keeping his mind busy, involuntarily thinking about how he would save himself.
Klein therefore initially suspected that Adam was sharing so many Concealment with him for reasons he couldn't yet guess, either to induce him to think about how to save himself, thereby finding clues and stopping it in advance.
Therefore, the repeated questioning and answering within the Corpse Cathedral was itself a battle of wits, and Klein had to constantly control himself and prevent his thoughts from straying off course.
Given this premise, Adam clearly knew that Roselle Gustav was likely to cause trouble, yet He didn't warn Zaratul!
Regardless of the reason, Klein had no intention of letting go of the opportunity before him. He immediately raised the " Staff of the Stars " in his hand and skillfully simulated Amon's " Worm of Time " ability.
when!
The silhouette of an ancient, weathered stone clock emerges, its dial divided into twelve asymmetrical sections by gray-white and bluish-black, each section bearing a different symbol representing a different time.
when!
One of the three hands at the heart of the stone clock jerked, and Zaratul's form froze completely in place.
Klein immediately transformed into a vortex of worms with countless slippery tentacles extending out, and in the center of the vortex was a strange, illusory Door of Light.
The Door of Light remained still, the vortex spun rapidly, and a terrifying suction force raged, forcibly extracting the Beyonder Characteristic from Zaratul's body bit by bit.
This is the method Pallez Zoroast used to deal with Amon's clones: relying on their rank to forcibly merge them!
A tiny bit of Beyonder Characteristic flew out, faster and faster. By the time Zaratul broke free from the freeze of time and the explosion of his mind, he was already unable to detach himself. He could only watch with despair and sighs as his body was completely lifted up and fell into that deep, dark worm vortex!
A few seconds later, the vortex re-outlined his body, and Klein's feet touched the ground.
In the Fog of History, Zaratul's figure appeared time and again, but none could reclaim his Beyonder Characteristic, ultimately fading away and never being able to be fully resurrected.
Klein used the lingering effects of the ritual to directly devour Zaratul's essence!
He wanted to use this to reduce the influence of the Celestial Worthy within him!
While the Corpse Cathedral was still floating in the Thunderous Ocean, Adam, dressed in a simple white robe and sporting a light golden beard, suddenly appeared at the edge of the sea area where the Ruins of the Gods' Battle located.
The sea then parted, revealing a path that led directly to the place stained with the blood of the Ancient The Sun God, to the projection of the Giant King's Court, and to the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
Deep within the Forsaken Land of the Gods, atop a certain mountain peak, stands a gigantic cross, with a faintly visible figure hanging upside down.
