The headquarters of the " God of Knowledge and Wisdom," inside that white tower.

After finishing his prayer, Luca Brewster, trapped underground, turned his attention back to the matter of strengthening the seal itself.

He wanted to investigate the situation to see if he could unravel the secrets hidden within and invent some secret techniques.

As he descended layer by layer, examining each Sealed Artifact Sealed Artifact, Luca suddenly froze and stopped in his tracks.

His expression became rather confused, unsure whether he should step forward with his left or right foot first.

This seems to be a very profound and not easy question to understand.

In the Southern Continent, next to a church belonging to the " Evernight Goddess ".

Leonard picked up a cup of coffee made from freshly ground local beans, wanting to take a sip.

During this process, his thoughts unconsciously drifted to the tightly closed doors and windows and the bright sunshine, trying to figure out what was wrong.

However, he couldn't leave the room and was trapped inside, while the Old Man Pallez Zoroast, fell into a strange silence and didn't answer his question.

Fortunately, there was no added danger, so Leonard could remain seated and focus on his thoughts rather than taking action.

After some time, he looked down at the coffee that had been placed back on the table, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself in confusion:

What was I trying to do?

The Rorsted Archipelago, within the Concealment city of Bayam.

Danitz was oblivious to the changes in his surroundings, intently fiddling with the wired telegraph machine connected to his room.

The Golden Dream " has recently arrived in the Sonia Sea and docked at a port with telegraph service. Danitz wants to extend a warm invitation to them to visit Bayam and witness the gravitas of the divine messenger.

If possible, he hoped that the Golden Dream " could have Bayam as its home port, so that he could return to the ship at any time to participate in adventures, search for treasure, and also selectively listen to the captain's lectures.

As a decathlete, Danitz undoubtedly possessed all the knowledge and skills required to send telegrams. At this moment, he sat in front of the Robot, his fingers flying across the keys, sending out one message after another from his mind.

In the Original stages, he was clear-headed and spoke appropriately, so he was a little proud of himself.

Gradually, his eyes glazed over, and his hands moved incessantly, as if he Manipulation them entirely on instinct.

After the telegram was sent, Danitz let out a sigh of relief, picked up his glass, and gulped down a mouthful of beer.

"It's faster than I expected. Even if I lose my job later, I can find a well-paying job at the telegraph office," Danitz thought with a mix of pride and apprehension.

He casually picked up the telegram draft, recalled the process of sending it, and his expression gradually became strange.

"What exactly did I send in the end?" Danitz couldn't help but mutter.

He ended up seemingly mocking the first mate, second mate, " Iron Sheet," and " Bucket " in the telegram, before passionately declaring his love for the captain.

"I'm doomed, I'm doomed... How could I have blurted out my true feelings..." Danitz's face gradually paled, and he suspected that he had been controlled by the Potion and hadn't thought through what he was writing.

He hurriedly sent a telegram to indicate that the previous messages had nothing to do with him and were the product of Anderson's deliberate mischief and pranks.

It was then that he noticed something was wrong outside; the sky was overcast and there wasn't a single cloud in sight.

Within the Astral World, the entities and things Concealment by the " Evernight Goddess " broke through the restrictions in a certain order and returned to reality.

Like the true form of Amon, they appeared somewhat dazed and did not react immediately.

In addition, the " Evernight Goddess " paused in mid-air with a slightly confused look, seemingly unsure of what to do next. However, her instinct was to protect herself first.

Confined within their respective divine realms by thick, prism-like light spots, the " Lord of Storms," the " Eternal Blazing Sun," and the " God of Knowledge and Wisdom " also underwent certain changes. The intensity of their counterattacks noticeably decreased, giving the impression that they were beginning to doubt themselves and were unsure whether those before them were truly enemies.

The Deng Shen dropped the " Trunsoest Brass Book " and returned directly to the " Wishing Lamp." It seemed as if it had reached its limit and had to retreat back into the seal, or perhaps it remembered something and subconsciously made a move to avoid it.

Having just regained self-awareness and clarity of mind, Antigonus became bewildered once again, his face seemingly filled with question marks:

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? What's happening around me?

Within the Forsaken Land of the Gods, the colossal image of the Ancient The Sun God, now dimmed considerably, sighed softly and spoke once more:

"Let there be light!"

The light in the Astral World brightened, piercing the "eyes" of Amon's true form, his avatars, the " Primordial Demoness," and the " Hidden Sage."

They immediately regained their senses and, seizing the moment, each made different decisions:

Those torrents of information suddenly dispersed, merging into the surrounding symbols, and vanished instantly;

Those black, snake-like tentacles with eyeballs on top quickly retracted and disappeared.

Amon's true form glanced at the newly promoted Klein, gave up the opportunity to exert influence while he was in an unstable state, and raised his hand to adjust the monocle made of crystal on his right eye.

His figure split in an instant, transforming into a series of doors that seemed both illusory and real.

These doors opened and closed simultaneously, making it impossible for beings like the " Evernight Goddess " to determine where Amon's true form had left from.

Once Amon's true form was far away, his avatars faded and disappeared.

This exploits a loophole, equating " Amon's true form is far away" with " Amon and his followers are far away."

At the same time, the enormous light and shadow that the Ancient The Sun God had expanded into shrank and collapsed, turning back into Adam was burdened with a dense shadow.

Beneath the feet of this " Visionary," the vast ocean, encompassing all colors and all possibilities, vanished in an instant, as if returning to the earth.

Adam looked up at the Astral World and returned through the rift to the back of that shadowy veil.

His fusion with the " True Creator " has only just begun and is not yet over. His attempt to ascend to half of the Great Old One was actually quite difficult and risky, which will force them to slow down their progress considerably.

In the Astral World, as the great war subsided, the scenes of civilization and the natural barriers formed by various plants, along with the illusory red moon, faded away, disappearing without a trace.

The Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom first shattered the thick patches of light outside the divine realm, then fell silent and continued to seal the cracks in the world's barrier, just as before.

The " Evernight Goddess," Levitation above the ancient palace, put away her black coffin, Twilight greatsword, bird-shaped golden ornaments, and four arms, and turned her gaze downwards.

The semi-transparent dark cloak, after revealing the mask, transformed into Klein's body.

Klein pressed one hand against the barely visible mask on his face, and placed the other on his lower abdomen. His back was slightly hunched, as if he were enduring unspeakable pain.

As soon as he raised his head to look at the " Evernight Goddess's " face, which was covered by a thin black veil, a pitch-black cloak appeared around him, and from beneath the cloak, one after another, slippery and sinister tentacles extended out.

After becoming the " The Fool," the " Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings " within him undoubtedly experienced a further resurgence.

The frantic babbling and screams echoed in Klein's ears, tearing at his mind and making him realize that this would be the norm in the future.

There is no way to kill the " Lord of Mysteries." Even if His will is gradually eroded by time, His spirit will endure forever and may seize Klein's body at any time, bringing Him to complete resurrection.

If it weren't for the fact that He had just "killed" the will of the " Lord of Mysteries," making Him weaker than Klein had anticipated upon awakening, Klein doubted he could have survived and would have had to watch helplessly as his body collapsed and he became another being.

Of course, he could ask the " Evernight Goddess " for help, to give him a drop of water from the " River of Eternal Darkness," but this was by no means a long-term solution; it could only delay things for a while, and he would eventually have to face the situation.

Through his own consciousness and anchor, Klein balanced the " Celestial Worthy " will within him.

At that moment, he was unable to speak.

The " Evernight Goddess " floating above nodded slightly and said:

What you need most right now is stability.

After saying this, His image was erased inch by inch, returning to the divine realm in the Astral World.

Klein glanced at the still somewhat bewildered Antigonus, then, a thought crossed his mind, he returned to " Sefirah Castle ".

Antigonus sat in the half-collapsed palace, on a huge stone chair, feeling as if he had been having a very, very long dream.

Inside the " Sefirah Castle," Klein sat down in the " The Fool's " seat, focusing intently on stabilizing his mental state.

As before, he couldn't seek treatment from Psychiatrist until he stabilized, unless he visited " Visionary " Adam, but that would likely make him even more insane.

Once things had stabilized somewhat, Klein quickly reviewed the authority he had acquired:

It's called " Fooling "!

It not only encompasses history, time, Fate, change, and Concealment powers, but also symbolizes " Blind Stupidity " in the realm of the mind. Its simplest application is to lower the intelligence of the enemy.

Just as Klein was about to conduct further research, he was suddenly struck by Spirit Intuition.

Who invaded " Sefirah Castle "?!

Klein only received the "notification" after the intruder successfully hacked into his territory!

Klein suddenly looked up and gazed at the area beneath the mottled long table, where he saw that the grayish-white mist had somehow formed a door.

A figure wearing a pointed soft hat, a monocle, and a classic black robe walked out from inside.

Ah, Amon!

The eyes of this " Mr. Error " were tinged with a hint of darkness, and his smile appeared somewhat insane.

He casually glanced around, adjusted his monocle, and said with a smile:

Surprised?

Klein wanted to mobilize the " Sefirah Castle " to drive out the enemy, but he discovered that Amon had also gained control of the " Sefirah Castle " at some point!

Amon turned his gaze to him, pulled out a chair, sat down, and chuckled:

I released the suppression of the will of the ' Lord of Mysteries ' within me.

"He is the master of ' Sefirah Castle,' which means I am also the master of ' Sefirah Castle,' so of course I can come in."

"This is risky. Even I wouldn't have dared to try it before, but now that you've grown to this level, I have no choice but to take the risk."

"This is exciting, and the effect is pretty good."

As he spoke, slippery and sinister tentacles shot out from under Amon's clothes.

He deliberately resurrected part of the " Lord of Mysteries," plunging himself into a state of near madness.

P. S.: There will be an extra chapter tomorrow, as a way of thanking everyone.
