... The goddess really did respond... When Klein saw the words formed by the powder, his first reaction was not related to the actual content, but rather to the shock that this seemingly absurd thing had actually happened.
Although he was mentally prepared and believed that the probability of success was not low, he still fell into complicated emotions and couldn't break free for several tens of seconds.
After a while, Klein slowly exhaled, raised his right hand, and tapped his chest four times clockwise:
Praise the goddess!
He immediately ended the ceremony, forcing himself to refocus his attention on the "oracle" itself:
"Possessed by Evil Spirit, needs to be exorcised?"
" Ince Zangwill could actually be possessed by Evil Spirit? He advanced from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5 in the ' Death ' pathway, and during the crucial stage of gaining divinity, he switched to the ' Evernight ' pathway Sequence 4 ' Nightwatcher,' which is extremely adept at dealing with spirit-like beings. Only Wraith Evil Spirit fear him; how could he possibly be possessed by an undead?"
"Unless that Evil Spirit is of a very high level or has an extremely special nature."
"Unfortunately, I've only ever seen one true Evil Spirit, the ancient Evil Spirit sealed within the underground ruins of Alista Tudor. I don't know much about these Monster and can't grasp many of the details. Hmm, I can write to Miss Sharron later, or have Little ' The Sun ' inquire about it. That ' Shepherd ' Elder Lovia is Grazing an Evil Spirit..."
"No wonder Ince Zangwill wanted to meet with the Demigod of the Spirituality Religion. When it comes to exorcising Evil Spirit, besides the Church of Evernight and the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Spirituality Religion is probably the best. Uh, we should probably add the Church of the God of Combat before that. Similar approaches always have similarities."
"Another point reveals that Ince Zangwill doesn't want the royal faction and the Demoness Sect he's collaborating with to know about his possession by Evil Spirit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to come to the Southern Continent in person! Both of those forces originated before the Fifth Epoch and have a long history; they wouldn't be so incapable of finding even a single sealing Sealed Artifact to exorcise or Purification Evil Spirit. Even if they couldn't find one, contacting the Spirituality Religion through the Demoness Sect would certainly be more discreet and safer than Ince Zangwill making the trip himself..."
As his thoughts raced, Klein spread a piece of paper on the table, picked up a pen, and wrote:
"The information you provided allowed me to connect the clues I had gathered previously, and thanks to the help of a certain great being, it clearly points to one conclusion:"
" Ince Zangwill is possessed by Evil Spirit and is seeking help from the Spirituality Religion."
"Based solely on this fact, we can also derive many useful judgments:"
" Ince Zangwill often exhibits inconsistencies in his words and actions; he occasionally veers off course, doing things we believe he would never do, and making Error we find difficult to understand; until this issue is resolved, his contact with the Spirituality Religion will not cease, and may even become more frequent..."
"Tracing back based on these judgments might lead us to Ince Zangwill's trail, but I don't think we can lock him down. The coincidence created by that '0' level Sealed Artifact is normally insurmountable."
As he wrote this, Klein couldn't help but recall his face-to-face encounter with Ince Zangwill:
Although his own investigation did not directly point to the other side, it almost exposed their conspiracy Ince Zangwill took the initiative and sent a meteorite to try to kill Sherlock Moriarty. In the end, he was helped by Mr. Azik and escaped his desperate situation, which forced Ince Zangwill to step out from behind the scenes and onto the stage, exposed to the spotlight.
In that situation, if Mr. Azik had returned to his previous level, Ince Zangwill might already be dead... But replicating something similar, creating a scene where he had to appear before us himself, is extremely difficult. You see, the previous time, not only was Mr. Azik, the " Death Consul," and I, who could use the Gray Fog to disrupt coincidences, involved, but also " Trissy Cheek " and the ring on her hand that resembled a "0" level Sealed Artifact. Without this lady's sudden escape, Ince Zangwill would never have been forced to take action himself... Klein carefully considered his words and wrote again:
"If we can figure out the origin and main purpose of that Evil Spirit, things might take a turn for the better..."
After finishing writing about Ince Zangwill, Klein had an idea and was about to mention something else, but after sketching the first few letters, he stopped writing, raised his left hand, and pinched both cheeks, looking hesitant and somewhat embarrassed.
After muttering a few words silently, Klein finally began to write the rest of the text smoothly:
"Even without the help of that '0' level Sealed Artifact, Ince Zangwill is an enemy that neither you nor I can confront head-on. We must be more fully prepared."
"If you can provide some ' Worm of Time,' I can craft them into a high-level talisman capable of dealing with Demigod. It's called ' Fate Siphon,' which can swap the Fate of oneself and the target for a short period."
Klein put down his pen, looked at the letter again without looking at it any longer, folded it up quickly, and carefully put it into an envelope.
He immediately took out his Adventurer Harmonica and a gold coin, summoned the messenger, and had her retrieve the reply to Leonard Mitchell. However, this time, instead of delivering it to 7 Pinster Street, she took it directly to the recipient's current residence. Not long had passed since Leonard wrote the letter, and Klein believed he should still be within Reinette Tinekerr's sensing range.
Having done all this, Klein breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head slightly, saying:
"It's really difficult to ask someone for a favor, especially for people who are easily embarrassed."
He quickly refocused his attention and began modifying the two Marionette, " Winner " Enzo and " Admiral of Hell " Ludwell, because they had been seen by " Angel of Fate " Ouroboros while exploring Calderon.
During this process, Klein suddenly had an idea: to "send" them above the Gray Fog and use the true souls of the Spirit World Plunderer as a disguise!
The Spirit World Plunderer can transform fragmented souls into real soul forms, and can also disguise them as other Spirit World creatures. The extraordinary materials it leaves behind must have similar abilities, but they are difficult to use, have poor effects, and have significant negative impacts!
However, none of this was a problem for Klein, who possessed the mysterious space above the Gray Fog. He had no intention of using that extraordinary material in actual combat anyway. Modifying the Marionette didn't require particularly smooth operation or excellent results, and this could be adjusted gradually. As for the negative effects of the divine elements, they were insignificant. Who among the junk was truly well-behaved?
After a flurry of activity, Klein sat down in the high-backed chair belonging to " The Fool," holding the palm-sized true soul of the Spirit World Plunderer. Without looking down to examine it closely, he gradually extended his own Spirituality into it.
What he saw before him hadn't changed much; it was still the illusory, fine black " Spirit Body Threads." But when he tried to Manipulation, he discovered that he could not only control the Marionette's " Spirit Body Threads," but also make his own " Spirit Body Threads " swim over and pierce into the Marionette's body.
When the two established this two-way connection, Klein suddenly felt that the Marionette and he had become one, and all his extraordinary abilities could be applied to the other through the " Spirit Body Threads ", including the " Faceless's " "technique" of changing appearance and body shape!
During the slow and difficult Manipulation, Klein felt dizzy, his emotions became chaotic, and he showed signs of losing control.
This is the inevitable effect of direct contact between the Spirituality and the divine.
He quickly mobilized a small amount of power from the mysterious space above the Gray Fog to restore himself to normal.
After much agonizing, Klein completed the experiment. " Winner " Enzo looked more like a native of the Southern Continent, clearly from a plantation. " Admiral of Hell " Ludwell, on the other hand, had a mixed-race appearance; his terrifying face was no longer skin and bones, but rather had a more obese look. As for the silver-white mask with its calming effect, it couldn't be removed for the time being. Klein had Ludwell tie it to his chest, which had some effect against his skin, but it wasn't as effective as wearing it directly on his face; it could only be barely maintained.
"It's a pity I can't turn this mask into another type of accessory, otherwise it would save a lot of trouble." Klein hurriedly tossed the Spirit World Plunderer's true soul back into the pile of junk while rubbing his temples, letting his thoughts wander. "Right, I still have a ' Spirit Warlock ' Beyonder Characteristic here, which can be used to make magical items to replace that mask... No, I've always planned to return it to the church, and I'll send it to Leonard as soon as he replies."
After his discomfort gradually subsided, Klein took out his gold-cased pocket watch, turned it on, glanced at it, and checked the time.
Next, he summoned a paper figure and manipulated some of the mysterious power in the space above the Gray Fog, simultaneously casting both of them into a specially marked point of light.
That is the light belonging to Danitz, the only believer of " The Fool " at present!
In Klein's view, " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya is backed by the Moss Ascetic Order, " Vice Admiral Iceberg " Edwina is a member of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Anderson Hood doesn't know much about Gehrman Sparrow and is very good at assessing situations and won't act recklessly. Therefore, they are unlikely to be in much danger when facing the Aurora Order's "investigation." Only Danitz, who is in West Balam and can't return to the " Golden Dream " in the short term, isn't very strong, and often wears the "think before you act" glove, which is truly worrying.
Based on these facts, Mr. The Fool had no choice but to go to the trouble of giving Danitz a hug from a " Paper Angel " every day at a set time to interfere with the Divination and prophecy about him.
Leonard was surprised by Klein Moretti. With a hint of disbelief, he opened the envelope and began to read the contents:
"Thanks to the help of some great being, is it referring to that ' The Fool '?"
"Sure enough, Klein's investigation into Ince Zangwill has gone quite far. I had barely mentioned the Spirituality Religion when he got the truth..."
Possessed by Evil Spirit? How could someone be possessed by Evil Spirit?
How can this be used?
" The Worm of Time... this..." Leonard quickly scanned the end of the letter, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat complicated.
In his mind, Pallez Zoroast remained silent, not uttering a word.
