The thin human skin gloves looked no different from before, but Klein dared not be careless and quickly used Divination to conduct a rough examination:
"Besides the five fingers, the palm and the back of the hand can also each correspond to a soul being Grazing..."
"Furthermore, all seven positions are currently occupied, and there are signs of merging certain similar Beyonder Characteristic..."
"It seems he also possesses abilities related to Flesh and Blood Magic..."
"The speed of switching souls has increased considerably..."
"It needs to eat one person every day, otherwise it will eat its master. Ha, ' Creeping Hunger,' you've swelled up again. Go back and reflect on your actions above the Gray Fog."
"Other insights cannot be obtained for the time being. We will conduct more precise Divination after leaving this place and going above the Gray Fog."
"Well, I'm not sure if there are any other negative effects, but I do know that it won't harm me in the short term."
"Also, Mr. X, who was being Grazing, was unaffected, and the ' Traveler's' ' Teleportation ' and ' Door Opening ' functions are still working normally."
Klein breathed a sigh of relief, put the upgraded " Creeping Hunger " on his left hand, and headed straight for the church, wanting to leave as soon as possible.
During the previous game of hide-and-seek with the giant "mushroom," he didn't forget to use Illusion to dress himself in a formal outfit with a trench coat and top hat.
As for the Beyonder Characteristic left behind by " Admiral of Blood " Senor, Klein suspects that they are most likely in the hands of " Witch of Despair " Panatiya, Demigod is now suspended in that ancient palace, under the watchful eye of that transparent worm.
Sigh, after all, flesh and blood can be eaten slowly to prepare for the future, but Beyonder Characteristic will definitely be irreversibly extracted. So much time has passed, it has long since taken shape. Even if the " Witch of Despair " didn't care and just threw it away somewhere, I can't find it quickly without being able to connect to the Spirit World and with Divination greatly restricted. In this environment, no one knows if there will be any unexpected changes, or if that obsidian slab will Teleportation away on its own. Therefore, we must seize the time and escape as soon as possible... Klein returned to the outside of the ancient church with great clarity, and he passed through the half-closed door.
Although he had promised Miss Sharron that he would sell the Beyonder Characteristic of " Wraith " Senor to Maric, firstly, the material itself had been contaminated and was difficult to use for concocting Potion, and secondly, his own safety was more important.
It's not like there's no way to solve it. At worst, we can hunt down another " Wraith," or ask " Mercury Snake " Will Auceptin for help to shatter the Beyonder Characteristic in Maric's hand and Purification it. Hmm, we'll have to wait until a certain fetus is born... Klein muttered silently for a moment, then walked past the densely packed corpses swaying like wind chimes and came to the side of the stone statue.
Along the way, he found the iron cigarette case that he had previously placed on the Marionette and which had not been swallowed by the "mushroom." The Azik Copper Whistle and the Loen gold coins inside were also undamaged.
After putting away the items, Klein Manipulation his " Spirit Body Threads " to prevent it from drifting towards the top of the church, and then bent down to pick up the obsidian slab.
After confirming that the important item was not damaged, he felt somewhat relieved and began to examine Zaratul's tin urn.
Upon opening the lid and taking a closer look, Klein's eyes narrowed and froze instantly.
The ashes in the tin urn have all disappeared!
Not a single trace remained!
Zaratul has achieved His goal? Should I say I knew it...? Klein, filled with doubt and uncertainty, tossed aside the tin-white urn, straightened up, and embedded the obsidian slab into the wall behind him.
The wall glowed once more, becoming transparent, allowing one to see the ancient stone bricks, the broken walls, and the Levitation clouds outside.
Thinking of that terrifying, transparent worm, Klein didn't rush to draw the symbol provided in the Antigonus Family Notebook. Instead, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
He set fire to the trees outside the church, ready to use " Flame Jump " to get away if anything went wrong.
Get ready, Klein joined his fingers together as a pen and quickly sketched a vertical eye composed of many Concealment symbols. Compared to before, the crescent moon and the zigzag line had been switched positions.
As he finished his last stroke, streaks of pure light shot up, flowing along the complex vertical lines of the eyes, converging and bursting forth to emit light!
The entire church suddenly became surreal, inverted in all directions.
Klein felt as if he had suddenly arrived at the top of the suspended corpses. In front of him were two illusory double doors, and beyond those doors was a familiar ancient palace, where the corpses of " Witch of Despair " Panatiya and others were gently swaying.
Transparent tentacles with strange and mysterious patterns swarmed towards the door, pounding on it, but they couldn't open it no matter what they did. They could only let in a little power, trying to "grab" Klein's " Spirit Body Threads "!
Without hesitation, Klein snapped his fingers, pulling on his " Spirit Body Threads " as he leaped into the firelight outside the church.
Immediately afterwards, he snapped his fingers and Blink several times, escaping to the farthest point of the Foggy Town.
Once the surreal feeling of the dark church faded, Klein paused, his brow furrowing slightly.
"It also leads to that palace where the out-of-control Angel reside..."
"The symbols provided in the Antigonus Family Notebook are just as misleading as those given by Zaratul!"
"However, this symbol seems to only activate the ' Door of Escape,' not open it, otherwise I would most likely not have been able to escape just now..."
"It belongs to the 'beginning' symbol, Zaratul's is for 'leaving'?"
"What should we do... how do we get out?"
Klein subconsciously glanced around the fog-shrouded, eerily silent town, forcing himself to calm down and think of any other way to escape:
"Perhaps it's not just through that wall that we can leave, but that's unlikely. Over the years, waves of outsiders have come and gone in the Foggy Town. If there were any clues outside the church, they would have found them long ago."
"Try a different symbol?"
"What should we change it to...?"
Klein fell into deep thought, analyzing the internal connections between various things, hoping to find Spirit Intuition:
"This place is connected to the ' Nation of Evernight,' and to the Antigonus Family. And whoever the Monster on the enormous throne within the ancient palace is, it must be a runaway Angel from the ' Seer ' pathway..."
" Zaratul, who is involved in this matter, is also Angel of the ' Seer ' pathway, Antigonus Family Notebook that provided the symbols are also closely related to this pathway..."
Therefore, the correct " Door Opening " symbol should be related to the " Seer's " approach?
" The Sequence 0 of the ' Seer ' pathway is mostly called ' The Fool '... This is preliminarily certain, otherwise the owner of that ' Card of Blasphemy ' wouldn't have been drawn to the main peak of the Hornacis Mountain Range and become the Hanged Man..."
" The Fool... The Fool..."
As he pondered the word " The Fool," Klein suddenly thought of himself and the mysterious symbol behind the high-backed chair that represented him above the Gray Fog!
Perhaps, he could give it a try? Klein pondered for a few seconds and decided to give it a shot, since there was no other way for the time being.
He returned to the steeple of the church, and under the watchful eyes of the hanging figures, walked to the wall behind the statue and picked up the obsidian slab that had fallen once again.
Once the stone slabs were inlaid, the gate quickly became transparent. Klein snapped his fingers to ignite another tree, took a deep breath, and began to draw the " The Fool " symbol, composed of half an " Pupil-less Eye " and half a " Line of Distortion."
He quickly finished, his mind becoming increasingly tense.
But this time, the transparent door remained unchanged.
It's no use... Klein's expression grew increasingly bitter as he doubted whether he would be trapped here forever, fighting against the Beyonder would enter later, until he starved to death or was eaten.
He shook his head, shaking off the despair, and reorganized his thoughts, searching for other clues:
"This place is connected to the ' Nation of Evernight,' and to the Antigonus Family, both of which were destroyed by the Church of Evernight..."
"The eraser Angel, who resembled the ' Mother of the Sky,' who brought me in, was active at the base of the Saint Samuel Cathedral in the Church of Evernight..."
"The reason why people disappear at night in the Ruins of the Gods' Battle is said to be because there are remnants of divine aura or power from the realm of Evernight..."
"So, this is clearly a place related to the authority of the Evernight, or even the Evernight Goddess, uh, the goddess."
Klein felt increasingly guilty. He had originally been analyzing the problem from an objective perspective, but he had unknowingly changed his title for " Evernight Goddess."
This gave him a new idea:
"Perhaps we could try the pattern corresponding to the Sacred Emblem of Darkness, or a symbol representing a goddess in occultism?"
With no other options left, Klein sighed, raised his right hand again, and drew a simple sketch of the Sacred Emblem of Darkness.
Suddenly, the scene behind the transparent door rippled and changed.
Although the ancient palace and the walls with holes can still be seen, this time they are far away and only vaguely visible!
Beyond the gate lies a bottomless cliff, jagged rocks, clouds Levitation in mid-air, and the Star and a red moon not yet obscured by the sunlight, like part of a mountaintop!
... It really works... Klein stared in disbelief at the scene, then instinctively reached out and pushed open the door.
A light, chilly wind whistled outside.
Klein was about to step out when he fell into thought and paused.
Then, he tossed out a gold coin, performed Divination, and received the revelation that there was no danger from the outside world.
Immediately afterwards, he pretended to draw a " Crimson Moon " on his chest.
Having done all this, Klein stepped out with his right foot and passed through the illusory gate.
His vision went dark for the first time, revealing an endless Evernight and a galaxy of stars. He then found himself on a mountaintop, surrounded by nothing but unmelted snow, jagged rocks, and the morning sunlight.
"Out... Safe now?" Klein didn't observe further, immediately making the " Creeping Hunger " transparent and attempting to activate his " Travel " ability.
If this succeeds, it means he has left the Foggy Town and returned to the real world, allowing him to move away from his current location and avoid danger. If it fails, he can quickly assess the situation and prepare for potential attacks.
In an instant, Klein's body faded and disappeared from the spot, while before his eyes, the red became redder and the white became whiter, and countless indescribable shadows emerged.
He successfully entered the Spirit World!
