The " Mystery Queen " Bernadette seemed to have a premonition about Gehrman Sparrow. Without any surprise, she put down the ancient scroll in her hand and turned her gaze to the visitor at the door.
Klein didn't mince words and said directly:
I'd like to borrow the ' Wishing Lamp ' for a day.
Bernadette nodded gently and picked up the " Wishing Lamp " that was beside her.
His Invisible Servant then carried this uniquely shaped lamp to Klein.
Klein reached out and took it, speaking in a low voice:
"Thanks."
Bernadette made no demands, seemingly unconcerned that her accumulated Wishes would lead to her mysterious and sudden death.
She believed that Mr. The Fool could solve the problem, as he had demonstrated this ability last time.
The next second, Klein, transformed into Gehrman Sparrow, disappeared from the " Dawn " and returned to the " Sefirah Castle ".
After he placed the " Wishing Lamp " on the table in front of him, he immediately saw the wick ignite, emitting a viscous light that formed a Distortion and blurry pale golden figure.
"You haven't fulfilled your promise yet, and I will no longer grant your Wishes as you desire." The Deng Shen's voice was majestic and authoritative. "You should know that the current holder of this lamp is Roselle's daughter. Your first Wishes will accumulate to her, causing her to accumulate three Wishes and suffer the backlash of Beyond the Sequence. And this time, I will not allow you to transfer the number of Wishes she bears onto yourself."
When Klein used the " Wishing Lamp " to escape, he did not change the ownership of this "Level 0" Sealed Artifact. It still belongs to Bernadette, and its holder remains the " Mystery Queen."
Therefore, the Wishes he makes accumulate on both himself and Bernadette:
His first Wishes was to transfer the two Wishes Bernadette had made to himself, thus clearing Bernadette's Wishes and giving him the burden of two Wishes.
However, this first Wishes will accumulate, so after it is fulfilled, Bernadette's actual number of Wishes is 1, Klein's is 3.
Next, Klein made a second Wishes, which would undoubtedly be remembered by both Bernadette and him.
Ultimately, Bernadette's number of Wishes was 2, which did not exceed the critical point, while Klein's reached 4. As expected, he encountered the backlash of the Outer Deity's rules and died on the spot in Adam's " Corpse Cathedral," successfully escaping his predicament.
Under these circumstances, if Klein makes any further Wishes, it will cause Bernadette's Wishes count to reach 3, inevitably leading to her suffering terrible consequences.
Of course, he could also mimic the first Wishes from last time, transferring the number of Wishes borne by Bernadette onto himself and using up one chance of "resurrection," but the " Deng Shen " had made it clear that He would Distortion similar Wishes, making them come true in ways that Klein did not want to see.
Sigh, it was all too rushed last time, and Roselle was influenced by the " The Moon Primordial," so the Wishes we came up with still had some flaws... We should have added a description to make the first Wishes registered solely in my name, or added a second Wishes between the first and second Wishes to transfer ownership of the " Wishing Lamp " to me. Anyway, after I die, ownership will definitely be cleared, and the " Wishing Lamp " will return to its actual owner... Klein sighed inwardly, then smiled at the " Deng Shen ":
You should be familiar with the terms ' Tampering ' or ' Reorganization '.
"Given the lamp's inherent power and your current state, I can easily rely on ' Sefirah Castle ' to ' Grafting ' its ownership from Bernadette to me. Or, how about we take it directly by ' Stealing ' it?"
The blurry, Distortion golden figure of the " Deng Shen " fell silent, and after a few seconds spoke:
"You may not be as cunning as He, but you are just as shameless."
"However, it won't work. You accumulate Wishes, and after you die suddenly, the ownership of this lamp will still return to Roselle's daughter, while I will Distortion the rules and record your Wishes on Him as well."
"Also, as I just said, I will not grant your Wishes normally until you fulfill your promise."
Klein maintained his smile and said:
I once heard a story, a story about an investor:
When a company encounters difficulties, the original investors are more willing to provide assistance. Although they have already paid a lot, if they do not continue to pay, they may not be able to get their investment back and lose all their principal.
"Of course, if they can get back their share through other means or channels, or if they can exchange their principal for a greater return, that's another story."
Which category do you consider yourself to be?
The " Deng Shen " gazed at Klein, who was sitting in the " The Fool's " seat, and chuckled, saying:
"After gaining further control over the ' Sefirah Castle,' you seem to have also acquired the eloquence of a ' Cryptologist.' However, unless you help me break the seal now, it will be difficult for me to influence matters at the Sequence 0 level. At most, I can only cause you to suffer a backlash from rules that Beyond the Sequence, and die again without any hindrance."
"However, this won't help you with what you want to do now, because death means failure, and you should know very well that losing control and going crazy during promotion will affect all your clones, and cutting off the connection won't prevent it."
Klein smiled and nodded:
"Indeed, I haven't decided what to Wishes yet; this is just a preliminary step."
At this point, he glanced at the " Wishing Lamp ":
"Actually, this lamp has another function that can affect the Sequence 0 level."
"I've heard that a true god once tried to destroy this lamp, but ultimately failed. Indeed, a lamp capable of sealing away Outer Deity wouldn't be so easily damaged. It must have the power of the ' Lord of Mysteries ' or the ' Sefirah Castle ' attached to it."
As he spoke, Klein's smile gradually widened:
"It's such a waste not to use something so sturdy as a shield."
... The Deng Shen remained silent for a long time, offering no response.
After such a cordial and friendly exchange, Klein and " Deng Shen " fully exchanged views and reached a preliminary consensus on the fact that they were a community with Fate.
Then, Klein put the " Wishing Lamp " in his pocket, ready to use it at any time.
Having accomplished all this, he turned his gaze to the fragments of light connected to the Hornacis Mountain Range in the Fog of History.
His preparations were almost complete. Next, he would create a clone to Stealing the undigested Beyonder Characteristic of the " Attendant of Mysteries " within his body, and then he could face his ancestor from the Antigonus Family.
This could very well ignite a war of gods.
Frankly, Klein didn't want this to happen, because a war between gods would most likely have a very negative impact on the real world:
The Rose Redemption prevented the resurrection of the " Primordial " and, with the help of the " Dark Angel " Sasrir, assassinated the Ancient The Sun God in a divine war that directly brought about a catastrophe that affected the entire Eastern Continent. This resulted in the death of more than 99% of the creatures there, turning that land into Abyss.
The " War of the Four Emperors " and the " Pale Disaster " nearly destroyed the Northern Continent, causing countless deaths and mutations, turning mountains into lakes, valleys into peaks, rivers into different courses, the earth into sinkholes, and the oceans into raging chaos;
The conflict between the " Evernight Goddess " and the " God of Combat " occurred in the Astral World, within the divine kingdom of the " Evernight Goddess," and was relatively brief. Therefore, it had the least impact on the real world. However, prior to this, a full-scale war lasting over a year had drained the blood and tears of countless people.
If he could, Klein would truly be willing to give up " Sefirah Castle " and live as a Sequence 1, or even Sequence 2, Angel, allowing things to develop in the most peaceful way.
However, along the way, he has received so much kindness, help, and faith from countless people who have followed in his footsteps. For Klein to suggest giving up now would be to push them into danger. This is not kindness, but selfishness.
From ancient times to the present, which successful person hasn't ultimately carried the weight of many others' Fate on their shoulders?
He gave up, but what about those people?
The faces of the Tarot Club members, the " The Fool " followers of City of Silver and Moon City, Azik Eggers, Reinette Tinekerr, Will Auceptin... flashed rapidly through Klein's mind.
Finally, he let out a slow, long sigh.
If Amon were trustworthy, Klein could "transfer" these things to him, but this " God of Deceit " always acted recklessly, and even all his followers were himself.
If Klein were to give up now, aside from his own safety, all those people or Demigod he had just thought of could be captured by the enemy or have a monocle put in their right eye Will Auceptin and the followers of " The Fool " are in the most danger.
Believe in the power of the gods, but do not believe in their mercy!
This was Klein's decision. When facing the " Evernight Goddess," he used the " Lord of Storms " and others as examples to tell her that he would not let her down—this was the being who had placed the most bet on him. If Klein gave up, the " Evernight Goddess " might have to pay an even greater price to obtain the " River of Eternal Darkness," or perhaps never obtain it at all. This was because the appearance of the two Pillar, the " Lord of Mysteries " and " God Almighty," meant that the threat from the Outer Deity would be minimized, and there would be no need for any more Great Old One to be born.
Phew, then using the " Sefirah Castle," the main peak of the Hornacis Mountain Range will be " Grafting " to the Astral World. This will not only minimize the damage to the real world caused by the God War, but also allow the goddess and other gods guarding the barrier rifts to fully exert their power. After all, most of my supporters are true gods... Klein's thoughts turned, and he had an idea.
He then snapped his fingers, creating a clone using the " Sefirah Castle," which stood beside him.
