The projection of the " Evernight Goddess " spoke calmly:
"We cannot defeat or stop Him or them; we can only confront and suppress them."
Perhaps at times, just a tiny oversight or a slight lapse in concentration can turn us into Him... Danger is ever-present on the extraordinary path, and one never knows when they might slip into the Abyss... Klein added a couple of lines for the " Evernight Goddess ".
He thought for a moment, then asked:
Did you interfere with my birth?
The projection of the " Evernight Goddess," which seemed to blend into its surroundings, nodded slightly and said:
"By exploiting Antigonus's Uniqueness, I indirectly influenced the ' Sefirah Castle,' ' Tampering ' the location corresponding to the Beyonder Characteristic that accompanied your birth to the Forsaken Land of the Gods."
As expected... Klein sighed inwardly, frowning slightly as he said:
"Can Antigonus's Uniqueness indirectly affect ' Sefirah Castle '?"
The projection of the " Evernight Goddess " answered in a soft, nocturne-like voice:
He has lost control and gone mad.
This means that His self-awareness could no longer suppress the will of the ' Lord of Mysteries ' within him. The two spirits were stitched together, revealing the most primitive, instinctive, bloody, and insane side.
"And that ' Lord of Mysteries ' was the former master of the ' Sefirah Castle,' so Antigonus can naturally indirectly influence the ' Sefirah Castle ' through this identity."
No wonder the " Evernight Goddess " knew more about the " Sefirah Castle " and that strange Door of Light than Emperor Roselle did. She herself was born from the " Sefirah Castle," and she also Imprisonment the out-of-control and crazed Antigonus... Klein seemed to understand, and continued to ask:
Why didn't you and Roselle have any Beyonder Characteristic at birth?
In that case, whether it's the " Evernight Goddess " or Emperor Roselle, they would definitely choose the path of " Seer," " Apprentice," or " Marauder."
The projection of the " Evernight Goddess " said calmly:
"That's why I said that the ' Lord of Mysteries ' has somehow gotten into trouble and lost control of many of the arrangements."
"After two consecutive failures, ' Sefirah Castle ' finally showed some changes."
"This is also a good thing for you. As the Apocalypse comes, the remaining will of the ' Lord of Mysteries ' is dissipating, and in the end only the spirit will remain, trying to awaken."
"If you were born in the Fourth Age, the moment you became the ' Attendant of Mysteries,' you had already become Him."
This is because Klein ascended purely using the " Curtain " left behind by the " Celestial Worthy," while the Beyonder Characteristic within Angel like Antigonus and Zaratul had already been worn down and hybridized by generations of Beyonder and supernatural creatures.
Klein had a feeling that the " Evernight Goddess " had some suspicions about what had happened to the " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings," but since the other party deliberately didn't mention it, he couldn't press her for details. He could only say instead:
How did Antigonus initially accommodate the Uniqueness the ' The Fool '?
The " Evernight Goddess " made no attempt to conceal her presence in the dream projection, responding in a gentle voice:
He asked Adam and Amon for help.
"They all supported Alista Tudor at the time."
"Utilizing the power of the ' Fate Trojan Horse '?" Klein, based on Will Auceptin's words and his own thoughts, astutely pointed straight to the core issue.
The projection of the " Evernight Goddess " resembled the starry night Starry Sky, quietly Placate the surroundings.
"They captured a Demigod from the Solomon Empire, and Adam put him under deep Hypnosis and implanted his memories, making him believe that he was Antigonus."
"Then, with the cooperation of Antigonus, Amon Stealing His identity and Fate, and Antigonus, using the power of ' Tampering,' combined Amon's identity and Fate with the experimental subject."
"That Demigod of the Solomon Empire began to live in the state of Antigonus, and after a period of time actively tried to accommodate the Uniqueness the ' The Fool '."
"He undoubtedly lost control, and at this moment, the real Antigonus revoked the ' Tampering,' returning his identity and Fate to Amon, Amon then ended the theft and returned them to their original masters."
Klein listened attentively, then added thoughtfully:
"This means that two completely different Fate coexist in the real world: ' Antigonus failed to embrace Uniqueness and became Monster ' and ' Antigonus lived well without any problems.' Therefore, Fate has been Fooling in a way..."
Before he could finish speaking, Klein sensed something amiss and quickly asked again:
Won't this cause any problems?
"There is a great risk," the dream projection of the " Evernight Goddess " calmly replied. " Fate is not easy to bear. If Fate cannot be reversed in the extremely short time before the target is about to spiral out of control, the matter will undoubtedly fail: if it is reversed a second too early, the ritual will have no effect; if it is reversed a second too late, Antigonus will bear the Fate going out of control and madness, inevitably heading towards the same end."
That's true. If you accept Fate, you naturally have to accept Fate troubles it brings... If it weren't for that, Amon would have stolen my Fate long ago and swaggered into the " Sefirah Castle "... Klein muttered to himself, and began to think about how he should imitate the ritual of the Antigonus Family's ancestor.
Given the difficulty of performing a normal ritual and the urgency of the matter, using a simplified ritual to accommodate the Uniqueness of the " The Fool " seems to be the best option at present.
Once I become half a " The Fool " and gain further control over the " Sefirah Castle," my level and strength will at least reach the level of a True God. In this way, even if I have no chance of winning against Amon, a True God with two pathways, I can at least protect myself and wait for reinforcements... While thinking about the comparison of strength and the development he hoped to achieve, Klein made a preliminary plan for the ritual.
He planned to ask the " Evernight Goddess " for help to suppress the ancestors of the Antigonus Family, and then use the " Sefirah Castle " to Stealing their identity, Fate, and self-awareness.
In this way, his own consciousness, the will of the " Celestial Worthy," the self-awareness of the Antigonus Family ancestors, and the anchors from New City of Silver, New Moon City, and the Rorsted Archipelago all coexisted within him. He would also become Antigonus to some extent, inheriting the Fate of the other party's out-of-control madness.
Antigonus went mad because his self-awareness could no longer suppress the resurrected will of the " Celestial Worthy," and the two spirits were stitched together. When his self-awareness entered Klein's body, he would undoubtedly repeat the same process, because the will of the " Celestial Worthy " within Klein would not be much less than his.
In other words, the Fate of going out of control and going mad was inevitable, and Klein would not have any additional burden. At the same time, his own consciousness and the fact that he had more anchors than Antigonus could mediate and maintain a bottom line where some rationality remained.
In this state, he will accept the Uniqueness " The Fool " as the ancestor of the Antigonus Family, and in the corresponding Fate, this is something he has already accepted and will not bring any more shock.
And so, Fate played Fooling.
Once the ritual concludes, Klein will be freed from theft and restored to his original identity and Fate. He will no longer be affected by madness and will become half a " The Fool."
The main risks of this plan lie in two areas: first, maintaining his own condition, which could easily lead to Klein going completely insane and becoming powerless to save himself if something goes wrong; second, the extent to which the " Celestial Worthy Venerable" will within the Antigonus Family ancestors would resurface and what changes it would bring if it were not suppressed at all, which no one could say for sure, and could only be balanced by the " Evernight Goddess ".
At this moment, the dream projection of the " Evernight Goddess " seemed to have guessed his thoughts:
"If you wish to Stealing Antigonus's Fate, you'd better put Him into a temporary state of Eternal Sleep."
"I can try to help you, but I need a medium to be absolutely certain; this is an Angel who embodies the Uniqueness the ' The Fool '."
"What medium?" Klein asked, as if deep in thought.
The " Evernight Goddess " spoke with a hint of a smile in her dream projection:
The waters of the " River of Eternal Darkness ".
As expected... for Klein, this answer was not surprising at all, and it was even within his expectations, giving him the feeling that the second shoe had finally dropped.
He considered it for a moment and said:
"Just river water?"
The dream projection of the " Evernight Goddess " nodded gently:
"You can't take the entire ' River of Eternal Darkness ' right now either; you'll understand when you reach the depths of Calderon."
"There are some things I'll ask you when you get back."
Before Klein could respond, He added:
"There is unusual danger there for you; you'd better wait until you're mentally stable before going."
"Okay." Although Klein didn't know what he would encounter deep within Calderón City, he knew that his current state was not suitable for adventure, especially adventures involving Sefirah.
The dream projection of the " Evernight Goddess " continued:
"When you wake up, perform a ritual to pray for a blessing, and I will give you an item to draw water from the ' River of Eternal Darkness '."
Klein nodded, and without further ado, said:
" Adam was part of the Ancient The Sun God; he was one of His identities."
The dream projection of the " Evernight Goddess " showed no obvious emotional fluctuations, speaking softly and gently:
"He has gone to the Forsaken Land of the Gods and met the ' True Creator '."
So fast... Klein was slightly surprised, but then felt it was to be expected.
Adam revealed the secret because it was no longer of any value.
The dream projection of the " Evernight Goddess " continued:
"Whatever happens next, it will take a long time, so you don't need to worry about it for now."
After Klein nodded, the figure in front of him quickly became blurry, and the night-blooming jasmine and deep-sleep flowers under his feet flew up one after another, filling the darkness.
He immediately opened his eyes and saw the dimly lit hall and the pure light shining through the holes in the wall, like stars set into the velvet night sky.
