On Amon's face, which appeared in different "looks," the monocle, existing in different forms, simultaneously emitted a pure light.
This is the " Everlasting Day " effect they Stealing from the depths of the Ruins of the Gods' Battle. It originates from the Ancient The Sun God and can Purification filth and evil, and awaken slumbering beings.
They "gifted" this gift to Klein.
This, combined with the ability to Manipulation the seal's strength granted by the authority related to the " Apprentice " realm, is enough to break the state of Eternal Sleep.
In an instant, the Antigonus spiritual imprint and the will of " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings " within Klein's body were fully awakened. Feelings of madness, desolation, cruelty, bloodlust, and ruthlessness raged through Klein's mind like an invisible Storm.
Almost simultaneously, within the still-unresolved Uniqueness the " The Fool " covering his face, the powerful will of " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings " suddenly opened its "eyes," like a terrifying Monster that had slumbered in darkness for thousands of years.
At this moment, the previous chaos and loss of control swept back, but Klein did not panic. Following a backup plan, he calmly used his " Grafting " ability to guide Antigonus's spiritual imprint toward the " The Fool " will within the Uniqueness the " Celestial Worthy," causing the two that had been entangled for one or two thousand years to collide again.
On the other hand, Klein, relying on his self-awareness and the anchors from the followers of " The Fool " and " Sea God ", actively balanced the part of " Celestial Worthy Venerable" will contained in his Beyonder Characteristic, just as he did when separating the " Attendant of Mysteries " Marionette.
If nothing unexpected happens, and things continue to develop this way, there's a good chance Klein can achieve a balance between the two sides, fully embracing the Uniqueness " The Fool " and entering the final stage of the ritual. However, how could there be no unexpected events when surrounded by the likes of Amon?
Some of Amon strengthened the seals on the " Trunsoest Brass Book " and the " Wishing Lamp " to counteract the former's restrictive rules. While some Amon gifted " Everlasting Day " to Klein, a smaller portion locked onto Klein, effectively " Stealing " it.
What they seek to Stealing is the clarity of the other's mind.
One after another, Amon failed, but in the end, a few Amon succeeded, " Stealing " Klein's consciousness for the next two seconds.
Klein's thoughts became blurred. Without the Antigonus spiritual imprint he had guided, the two parts of the " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings " will and the anchor from the believers suddenly became unbalanced, frantically eroding, influencing, and polluting each other.
Everything became extremely chaotic, and the loss of control seemed irreversible.
Klein's body then crumbled inch by inch, turning into clumps of transparent, Distortion worms, which extended out even more slippery, sinister tentacles.
At this point, the rules in the " Trunsoest Brass Book " were erased, and writing began anew:
"Speech is prohibited here!"
"Attacks are prohibited here!"
Immediately following these two rules, familiar clauses reappeared:
The following rules are invalid.
After the seal was strengthened, the " Trunsoest Brass Book " seemed to have entered a new cycle, and the influence that the " Deng Shen " could exert became quite effective.
Klein quickly regained consciousness, but the situation inside his body was completely chaotic and out of control.
This made it impossible for him to sort out the different influences and leave him powerless to find a new balance.
In other words, he will continue down a path of no return until he becomes Monster.
With almost no time to think, Klein relied on instinct and experience to make the decision to activate the last contingency plan.
He immediately gave up on trying to salvage his internal condition and stopped focusing on the matter.
Not only that, Klein also made the " Attendant of Mysteries " Marionette transform into a worm vortex, carrying Zaratul's spiritual imprint, and throw it into his main body, merging into it.
He's making things even more chaotic!
However, Amon's clones would not let him make any attempts. Apart from the part of Amon that fought against the " Wishing Lamp " and the " Trunsoest Brass Book," the rest began to " Stealing " again, trying to throw Klein's mind into chaos time and time again until it was completely out of control.
Amon, dressed in a postman's uniform, succeeded, but what he " Stealing " was not Klein's lucidity, but a drop of fresh blood.
The blood immediately seeped into the palm of the postman, Amon.
Immediately afterwards, the postman Amon's eyes turned crimson, and his belly swelled up at an unimaginable speed, beginning to writhe.
She appears to be pregnant!
What He just " Stealing " was the " The Moon Primordial," which is the blood blessed by the " Mother Goddess of Depravity "!
After Klein stopped focusing most of his consciousness on balancing the Antigonus spiritual imprint within his body, the revived will of " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings," and the anchor, he no longer needed to passively endure as before and could barely respond to Amon's " Stealing."
He used " Grafting " to Tampering the target that Amon " Stealing " to the inside of the Sefirah Castle, Tampering the pile of junk, and to Tampering drop of blood blessed by the " The Moon Primordial ".
This comes from " The Warlock King " Calamity.
There is undoubtedly a connection between Amon's clones, and none of them could possibly reach Sequence 0. Therefore, when Postman Amon was contaminated by that drop of blood, the other Amon exhibited some degree of confusion. Some had their bellies bulge, some had their eyes turn crimson, and some were cradling an invisible infant, spinning in place...
This inevitably led to the failure of the remaining " Stealing ".
Klein seized the opportunity, relying on his inability to maintain consciousness for long, and mobilized the power of the " Sefirah Castle," casting a Curtain over the entire ancient palace.
This place has been Concealment once again.
Then, ignoring the Antigonus spiritual imprint, the Zaratul spiritual imprint, and the two parts of the " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings " will that were beginning to merge within his body, he had the clone standing not far away, which had not yet collapsed and whose face was blank, extend its palm towards the main body.
Its five fingers snapped shut quickly, and its wrist twisted sharply.
Because Klein's self-awareness did not resist and even actively cooperated, the clone, with the help of the " Sefirah Castle," successfully Stealing the self-awareness, Fate, anchor, and most of the identity from the original body after only a few failures.
All he left behind in his physical body was the identity associated with " The Fool ".
At the same time, he also " Stealing " the identity, Fate, and spiritual imprint of the ancestor of the Antigonus Family, which was only possible with the cooperation of his self-awareness.
As the shimmering river with its countless tributaries appeared, Klein's clone's face Distortion and writh, transforming into Klein Moretti, who incorporated features of Gehrman Sparrow.
He has become his original form, a form devoid of Beyonder Characteristic!
Of course, his self-awareness and anchor were still fighting against the spiritual imprint of his ancestor from the Antigonus Family, but this was undoubtedly much easier to deal with than before.
Having already adapted to his identity as Antigonus, he quickly found a new balance, delaying and prolonging his out-of-control Fate.
While this is still unavoidable, it allows some time for subsequent actions.
On the other side, at Klein's original location, what remains is the Uniqueness of " The Fool ", all the Beyonder Characteristic from " The Curtain ", the Beyonder Characteristic originating from Zaratul, a small amount of Beyonder Characteristic from other sources that Klein had consumed and digested, the revived will of " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings ", the remaining spiritual imprint of Zaratul, and the identity of " The Fool ".
Without Klein's self-awareness, Antigonus's spiritual imprint, and the entanglement of numerous anchors, Zaratul's remaining spiritual imprint was quickly defeated and eroded by the resurrected will of the merging " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings ".
The next second, Klein's "true form" suddenly fell silent.
His physical breakdown ceased; he lowered his head, no longer extending his slippery, sinister tentacles outwards, and became as quiet as if he had lost his soul.
In such a scenario, silence is more terrifying than madness.
That motionless body seemed to be gestating an extremely terrifying Monster!
Klein ignored this and quickly Grafting his connection with his "original body" onto the Gray Fog.
Then he shifted his focus, locking onto Antigonus on the massive stone chair.
This former half- the Fool did not receive Amon's help and did not escape his Eternal Sleep.
Klein once again reached out his right hand and " Stealing " one copy each of the remaining Beyonder Characteristic from Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 from the other party.
Although he now bears the identity and Fate of Antigonus, such " Stealing " remains difficult, and failures inevitably repeat themselves.
At this moment, outside the " Realm of Mysteries " created by the " Sefirah Castle," Amon regained consciousness from the Original chaos.
They either raised their hands to adjust their monocles, making the redness in their eyes disappear, or looked down at their bellies and reached out to touch them.
A second later, those protruding bellies split open, and one after another, babies with a faint pinkish hue emerged.
These infants did not cry or show any abnormalities. Each of them quite smoothly took out a monocle made of crystal from the void and put it on their right eye.
The number of Amon has increased.
He transformed the newborn babies into his own clones to prevent them from being corrupted by the " The Moon Primordial " and interfering with him.
At this time, the " Earth Mother " and the " God of Steam and Machinery " had gained certain, albeit minor, advantages on their respective battlefields, and were finally able to free up their hands to intervene in the situation inside the palace.
In an instant, some of Amon transformed into plants, blossoming and bearing fruit, returning to the earth; Amon became knowledge, information, and words, and were imprinted in illusory books.
However, some Amon managed to evade the influence of the two true gods by using " Blink," exploiting loopholes, or Deceit the rules. While continuing to strengthen the seals on the " Wishing Lamp " and the " Trunsoest Brass Book," they opened "doors" in Klein's " Realm of Mysteries."
At the same time, the Angel also noticed the changes in the Astral World, but their gaze could not penetrate the natural barrier of the " Earth Mother " and the civilized tapestry of the " God of Steam and Machinery," and they could not see the scene inside at all.
This means that even if they wanted to exert influence, they were powerless to do so.
Within the " Realm of Mysteries " created by " Sefirah Castle ", after repeated failures, Klein finally succeeded in " Stealing " one Beyonder Characteristic from Antigonus from Sequence 9 to Sequence 1, as well as the Beyonder Characteristic that had already been digested!
The latter, due to the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence, attracted many Beyonder of the same path throughout history. While turning them into Marionette, it also absorbed their Beyonder Characteristic. Therefore, at this time, Antigonus still had a large number of Beyonder Characteristic of the " Seer " path, including a portion of the " Miracle Invoker " path.
The dim points of light quickly merged into Klein's body, becoming one with him.
Because he is now Antigonus, and because those Beyonder Characteristic were already digested by Antigonus, his uncontrollable Fate did not accelerate, but maintained the same pace as before.
Thus, Klein once again became Sequence 1 " Attendant of Mysteries Attendant of Mysteries," having digested the Potion and Fate for an out-of-control fate.
Just then, his original "true form" raised its head, its eyes a deep, dark black.
Just from that one look, Klein's thoughts instantly slowed, his body turned ice-cold, and he was almost unable to muster any resistance.
That powerful will he was so familiar with began to rise little by little, attempting to influence " Sefirah Castle ".
The " Lord of Mysteries " has been partially resurrected within Klein's "main body".
The Fool has become a truly great being of resurgence, which coincides with the speculations of the Tarot Club members but contradicts the actual history.
Before his thoughts could stagnate further, Klein took the initiative to cooperate with Amon, dispelling the " Realm of Mysteries " and allowing the situation inside to communicate with the outside world.
He has flawlessly " Fooling " history, just as he initially thought, but he has no good idea of how to end things.
Based on the changing situation, the final contingency plan he activated at the critical moment was:
Leave no way out; go from accommodating the Uniqueness of the " The Fool " to elevating oneself to the status of a true " The Fool "!
This can't be any worse than the previous situation.
