Countless Witch of all sizes brought about a devastating collapse, causing the main peak of the Hornacis Mountain Range to grow into a giant stone sphere.
This caused the dilapidated outer walls of the ancient palace to collapse rapidly, exposing Klein, along with his clones and Marionette, in the center of the hall to the Astral World.
As the serpentine black tentacles were about to surge into the palace, a crimson the Moon rose amidst this Apocalypse scene.
Bathed in moonlight, clumps of wheat, flowers, mushrooms, and trees suddenly sprouted outside the hall, intertwining and layering upon each other, sealing Antigonus's palace inside.
At this moment, the hall where Klein was located seemed like a relic sealed in history and forest for thousands of years, completely swallowed up by nature.
The black tentacles, each tipped with an eyeball and resembling those of a python, were blocked by the wildly growing plants.
They rose up, constantly battering this natural "barrier," causing it to petrify and crack layer by layer or collapse directly.
However, whether it's wheat, flowers, mushrooms, or trees, their rebirth comes very quickly—they sprout anew as soon as they return to Mother Earth's embrace.
In this way, those natural barriers were reborn layer by layer, and destroyed layer by layer, and then reborn layer by layer, entering a certain stalemate.
The Earth Mother, who holds the Uniqueness over the " The Moon " pathway, blocked the path of the " Primordial Demoness " Cheek.
At this moment, a "beam" invisible to most Beyonder fell straight down from above and struck the natural barrier based on plants.
This light had no physical form; it seemed to be composed of a vast amount of complex information. In its illusory form, it surged through the gaps between the plants like a torrent, heading straight for Klein, who was about to obtain the translucent mask.
" The Hidden Sage!"
Just then, a hazy light rose from the void, displaying a series of projected images around Klein.
Some Record humanity's helplessness and tragedy in the face of extraordinary species; some, with epic strokes, recreate scenes of humanity using itself as experimental subjects to try and fuse with extraordinary materials to gain power and save its people; some describe the bizarre and unique folk customs that arose because of the " Black Emperor "; some carry various inventions, books, and viewpoints; some are like imitations of the present world, composed of enormous steam- Steam machines, increasingly tall buildings, and more convenient clothing...
These contents give the seemingly thin scrolls an extremely profound feeling, because they carry civilization, and represent the enlightenment and development of human society at different stages.
Back then, the " God of Craftsmanship " did not fully digest the Sequence 1 " Civilization Enlightener " Potion and advanced to Sequence 0 for various reasons. He maintained his rationality and clarity, but this also forced him to devote more energy to fighting against the tendency to lose control and go mad, making him somewhat inferior to the other beings among the seven true gods.
The reason why the Church of Steam is the weakest righteous god organization is not only because it has the shortest history and the least accumulation, but also because the state of the corresponding true god is not very good.
When Roselle, as the " Child of Steam " and a member of the Church, sparked the Industrial Revolution and brought about various ideologies, the " God of Craftsmanship " seized the opportunity to change his name to the " God of Steam and Machinery," sharing in the progress of the Enlightenment and absorbing the corresponding Potion.
As a true god who followed a similar path, after the " Hidden Sage " chose to oppose Klein, He ultimately sided with the other true gods.
A terrifying torrent of information crashed into those illusory paintings, rapidly expanding and attempting to tear apart the "cage."
However, the civilization spanning thousands or tens of thousands of years is so profound and extensive, and the history left behind by generations of humankind, numbering in the hundreds of millions, is so vast and magnificent that it is more than enough to carry the information torrent of the " Hidden Sage ".
As the " Hidden Sage " struggled to break free from the " God of Steam and Machinery's " restrictions, within the Antigonus Hall, sealed by layers of plants, Klein's slippery, strange tentacles reached for the translucent mask that represented the " The Fool's " Uniqueness and brought it close to his own face.
The moment the mask was placed on Klein's face, figures appeared one after another around him.
Some of them were men dressed as postmen, some were ordinary birds, and some were tiny creatures invisible to the naked eye; their numbers reached hundreds or thousands.
The hall, which had previously contained only corpses hanging in mid-air, suddenly became crowded.
What these figures have in common is that they either wear a monocle made of crystal in their right eye, or have a different colored mark in the same spot.
Ah, Amon!
The clones of Mr. " Error " Amon!
Whether they took advantage of the invasion of the " Primordial Demoness " or the " Hidden Sage," they opened a back door, exploited a loophole, and silently arrived near their target.
After glancing at Klein, who had just put on the semi-transparent mask and begun to embrace the Uniqueness the " The Fool," these Amon simultaneously revealed "smiles," opened their "mouths," and uttered words that normal people could not understand.
These words intertwined, forming a terrifying and insane babbling:
You overlooked the ' Primordial Demoness '...
"To Him, Medici has only recovered to Sequence 1, poses no threat whatsoever..."
"What He desires most now is for a ' Lord of Mysteries ' to be born immediately, to break the seal on the Western Continent, and to give Him the opportunity to find the ' City of Calamity '..."
"Clearly, I'm a better choice than you; you're too weak..."
"Hehe, are you still waiting for the ' Mother Tree of Desire ' or the ' Mother Goddess of Depravity ' to give you help?"
"It's no use. I placed the first ' Blasphemy Slate ' in the Sonia Sea, at the entrance to the ' Abyss,' not far from that primitive island."
"With the enhanced sealing power brought about by the authority associated with the 'Gate' and the control of the world barrier by a half- 'Lord of the Astral World,' no Outer Deity will be able to infiltrate their power into reality in the short term..."
"Without the influence of the Outer Deity, the ' Dark Side of the Universe ' and the ' Chained God ' currently have no intention of interfering in the divine war; they would rather seize this opportunity to try to break free from their bonds."
"They also hope to quickly give birth to a ' Lord of Mysteries ' to help them escape their predicament... If it weren't for the fact that inciting them would simultaneously trigger the Outer Deity's corruption within them, I could make a promise now to reach an agreement with them to fight against you together..."
Amon deliberately filled his ramblings with real information, thereby subjecting Klein to two effects simultaneously: the mental pollution caused by the ramblings and the distraction caused by the content.
In any case, it wouldn't be a waste of time for Him. On the one hand, He had enough clones, and each " Worm of Time " could form many words with just one word. On the other hand, He forcibly combined the information, so that one word could represent a lot.
In that instant, the murmurs of the Amon echoed wildly in Klein's mind, like sharp blades piercing his spirit and tearing his mind apart.
Normally, Klein could easily suppress the ramblings of someone at most Sequence 1 level without being affected, but at this moment, he was embracing the Uniqueness the " The Fool," and his mental balance was delicate and fragile.
In such a scenario, a single straw could break the camel's back, let alone the clones of Amon.
Moreover, while Klein was experiencing mental anguish and confusion about his self-perception, the spiritual imprint of Antigonus and the will of " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings " within him, which had been in a state of Eternal Sleep, showed signs of awakening.
--Eternal Sleep is, in a sense, an ultimate seal. The Amon, who contain the Uniqueness the "gate", can undoubtedly weaken or even disable the seal!
Furthermore, the semi-transparent mask that Klein had just put on his face—the " The Fool " Uniqueness —had an even stronger will from the " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings " within it. It was also gradually breaking free from the influence of Eternal Sleep and resonating to some extent with its counterparts within Klein's body.
With almost no extraordinary abilities used, merely a few incantations were enough to throw Klein off balance and Amon on the edge of losing control.
Furthermore, all of this seems irreversible unless the waters of the " River of Eternal Darkness " can continue to keep the spiritual imprint of Antigonus and the even more powerful will of the " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings " in Eternal Sleep.
But at this moment, even with the waters of the " River of Eternal Darkness " still flowing, the " Evernight Goddess " could not be distracted, because she was fully focused on suppressing the dual-path true god Amon.
From this perspective, Amon and his clones were actually deliberately "sacrificing" their true forms to hold back the " Evernight Goddess," creating an opportunity for their clones to disrupt Klein's ritual.
It was a little risky, but the result looks pretty good.
Just then, a glimmer of light appeared in Klein's pocket.
The light was a pale gold, like viscous syrup, and instantly enveloped the surrounding area.
Illuminated by this light were not only Klein, but also his clone, and the book made of thin brass that was suddenly thrown over by the Marionette in the distance.
"0-02", " Trunsoest Brass Book "!
The Sealed Artifact unfurled in mid-air, bathed in pale golden light, while simultaneously causing a rule to abruptly appear on the blank page—a rule completely different from the previously repeated clauses:
"Speech is prohibited here!"
Amon's clones kept opening and closing their "mouths," but could no longer make a sound.
A moment later, a new clause appeared under the previous rule:
"Attacks are prohibited here!"
With a thud, the " Trunsoest Brass Book " fell to the ground, lying open at Klein's feet.
Under the illumination of the " Wishing Lamp," it surprisingly broke free from its previous cycle and established rules that were favorable to Klein.
The Amon merely glanced at it before each responding differently.
Some of them simultaneously adjusted their monocles, joined together, and then raised their right hands, gently clenching them to strengthen the seal using their respective authority.
Before the new articles in the " Trunsoest Brass Book," a passage gradually took shape:
"The following rules are invalid..."
The other group of Amon focused their attention on Klein was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
The inability to attack does not mean the inability to steal or give gifts!
