The " Evernight Goddess " nodded, said nothing more, and stretched out her hand, gently tugging at a corner of the void.
A thin layer of "night" gently drifted down, covering Klein and seeping in silently.
Klein quietly savored the blessing from his dream for two seconds, then placed his hand on his chest and bowed in respect.
He immediately took two steps back and left the Astral World.
The " Evernight Goddess " stood at the edge of the divine realm, watching him depart into the distance.
The next second, Klein landed inside the " Giant King's Court " projection of the Ruins of the Gods' Battle.
Then, just like Amon had done before, he walked to the edge of the gray-blue gate and raised his hand to create a ghostly blue illusory gate.
Through this door, Klein entered the " Forsaken Land of the Gods " and, following the guidance of Fate, " Roaming " directly to the summit of a mountain range.
There stood a huge cross, shrouded in a faint shadow.
Klein stared at the shadow for a few seconds, sighed slightly, and bent down to pick up an ancient silver mirror that was placed near the giant cross.
Then, he turned around and disappeared into the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
Meanwhile, the " Worm of Spirit " who no longer needed to guard the " Sefirah Castle " told him the current location of the " Mystery Queen." Klein raised his hand and took out the " Wishing Lamp " from the pile of junk. Relying on its ownership relationship with Bernadette, he " Roaming " again and appeared on a rather secluded island in the Emerald City.
Bernadette was flipping through a newly published art book by Intis when she noticed something and saw Gehrman Sparrow hand her the " Wishing Lamp ".
"Thank you," Klein said in a normal, neither loud nor soft voice.
Bernadette parted her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in that instant, her eyes flashed, as if she had seen something, foreseen something, and so she silently reached out and caught the " Wishing Lamp."
Klein immediately produced a metal cigarette case with Corrosion surfaces:
"This is the payment."
Even without her " Eye of Mystery Prying," Bernadette could sense the "extraordinary" nature of this iron cigarette box and could roughly guess what kind of corrosion it had suffered.
But she didn't choose to accept it for that reason; rather, she suddenly felt there was no reason to refuse.
She hesitated only for a moment before readily taking the metal cigarette case.
If he were still in that somewhat frenzied state, Klein would definitely have seized the moment Bernadette hesitated and said with an exaggerated smile, "Uncle's giving it to you, just take it!"
But now, he only has a sliver of consciousness left, and he has to work very hard to keep himself from falling asleep. He has absolutely no urge to Acting the Clown.
After leaving Bernadette's Emerald City, Klein Roaming to Backlund and Roaming to Doctor. Allen Kreis's house.
Will Unsettling, sitting amidst a pile of toys, looked up at Will Auceptin in front of him Dawn Dantès, and suddenly burst into tears, sobbing violently.
"I finally sensed that opportunity."
An opportunity to embrace the Uniqueness of the " Fate " path.
Klein crouched down and said expressionlessly:
"I'm here to help you accommodate me."
"I will steal your childhood and adolescence, making you grow up instantly, and then, relying on a position that transcends the Sequence but does not reach the Great Old One, I will forcibly help you accommodate the ' Die of Probability '."
"Of course, that alone won't be enough; we also need to ' Fooling ' someone and exploit a 'bug'."
Will Auceptin's tears, which were falling in a steady stream, suddenly stopped. He murmured in surprise:
"So those two choices were the same."
Normally, the Uniqueness of this path can only be achieved by either being born with it, having the help of the beings of the Great Old One, or by relying on a simplified promotion ceremony; there are no other possibilities.
Will Auceptin, this " Snake of Fate," clearly doesn't possess Uniqueness; he can only be considered among the latter two options.
His previous focus had been on performing simplified rituals, that is, waiting for a Fate -driven opportunity. Who knew that this opportunity would be Klein's attainment of a status close to that of the Great Old One, which was essentially the second way.
Thinking of this, Will Auceptin, the chubby little boy, cried even harder, feeling as if he had been deceived by Fate.
"Have the Demigod of the School of Life send over the ' Die of Probability ' right now. Normally, with your luck, the ' Die of Probability ' should be with you by now." Klein ignored Will's sobs. "Let's get started as soon as possible; I don't have much time left."
Will stopped, looked at Klein for a moment, and said, slightly choked with emotion:
"Never mind, let's wait for the next opportunity."
"Given your current state, forcing you to take on this role would be a huge burden, and you might even lose control on the spot. I don't want to face that ' Lord of Mysteries '."
"Hmm, maybe next time. I have a feeling..."
At this point, Will looked into Klein's eyes and said:
I have a feeling the next opportunity will be even better.
Klein maintained that sleepwalking expression, his voice slightly lower:
"Is this a prophecy?"
Will Auceptin's tears flowed again:
No, it's a blessing.
Klein nodded slightly, stood up, and took a step back.
During this process, his figure faded more and more, and soon disappeared.
He returned to the " Sefirah Castle," sat down in the high-backed chair, and let the gray-white mist cover his body.
After looking around and confirming the condition of each deep red star, Klein leaned back wearily in his chair and slightly raised his right hand.
This time, he did not create the dummy "the world".
On both sides of the mottled long table, beams of Red Light rose simultaneously, freezing into the figures of Tarot Club members such as " The Hanged Man," " The Sun," " The Hermit," and " The Magician."
This sudden summons clearly caught " Justice " Audrey and the others off guard, leaving them somewhat taken aback and surprised.
Before this, although they had visited Mr. The Fool's kingdom on non-Monday afternoons, there were always reasons for it. If they knew in advance that they would be drawn here, it was either because they had applied for a small gathering in advance, or to avoid " Full Moon Ravings " or to treat Mr. World's psychological problems.
It could be said that, aside from the Original time, this was the second time they had been summoned by Mr. " The Fool " without any warning.
This made even the most oblivious among them sense the uneasy atmosphere and feel the air thicken.
Recalling the previous visit by "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, and the words Blessed by this " The Fool," " Justice " Audrey, " The Hanged Man " Alger, and " The Judgement " Hugh all had similar thoughts flashing through their minds:
"Has it finally arrived?"
Audrey subconsciously turned her head and looked at the bottom of the mottled long table, only to find it empty and deserted.
Although she had been somewhat prepared, Audrey still couldn't help but pause for a moment, overwhelmed by an overwhelming sadness.
In her heart, the image of "The World" Gehrman Sparrow had long since changed from a mad adventurer and an extremely dangerous Beyonder a friend who was outwardly cold but inwardly gentle, powerful, loving, mysterious, quite lonely, and burdened with many things.
She considered herself, besides Mr. " The Star," to be the one in the Tarot Club who understood the "world" best.
Now, it seems this friend has met with misfortune, leaving only an empty seat.
The Tarot Club lost its first official member.
Where did Klein go...? Leonard, the " The Star," suddenly panicked.
In this world, he only has this one true friend left.
When Klein suddenly appeared on the Southern Continent and dropped that gold coin into the church's offering box, Leonard already had a subtle premonition, a feeling that the other party was preparing to face the Judgement of Fate and was saying goodbye to the past one by one.
This is just like when they decided to stand up and face Megose back in Tingen.
The Old Man has been strangely silent lately... Could something really have happened to Klein? With Mr. The Fool's level and status, as long as there's a chance, he should be able to salvage the situation... Leonard's heart tightened, and he suddenly turned to the side, casting his gaze at Mr. The Fool, who sat at the head of the mottled long table.
This great being remained shrouded in a gray-white mist, making it impossible to discern its current state.
At this moment, Emlyn the Moon, the Hermit the Cattleya, and Derrick the Sun also noticed the absence of Mr. World.
Coupled with the suddenness of this gathering, they were both surprised and puzzled, not knowing what had happened, but instinctively feeling that it couldn't be a good thing.
As a newly promoted " Prophet," Cattleya even felt that Mr. The Fool also had some problems.
Mr. World didn't come... As mentioned before, Mr. The Fool and His Blessed seem to be facing a major challenge, and it's very likely that something bad will happen to them... Magician Fors also somewhat panicked, inevitably feeling intense fear due to the unknown changes.
She had thought she would be relieved by Mr. World's disappearance, but now it seems that's not the case. Instead, she feels a heavy weight in her heart and a sense of unease.
She then realized that, without her noticing, "The World" had become a major Pillar of the Tarot Club besides Mr. " The Fool," making everyone feel at ease when they saw him.
Of course, fear is also inevitable.
As " Justice " Audrey and the others turned to look at the head of the weathered long table, where Klein, now the true " The Fool," spoke in a low, flat voice:
"This was a last-minute gathering."
Mr. The Fool was exhausted... Audrey, the " Justice," became even more tense upon realizing this.
She looked around, and as usual, stood up.
As the Tarot Club members rose to their feet, Audrey, with a heavy air, lifted her skirt and bowed slightly to the head of the long, weathered table.
Good afternoon, Mr. The Fool.
