Snap!
The tumbling gold coin landed in Klein's palm, but he didn't look to see if it was heads or tails, because an image was already fixed in his mind:
Towering trees stood amidst the bushes, and the thin clouds in the sky failed to obscure the numerous stars adorning the "black velvet." The chirping of insects carried far into the quiet night, mingled with the commotion caused by the two "explosions" at the Elk Manor.
Klein quickly used his knowledge of Astrology to roughly determine the specific area corresponding to the image, and then, in a flash, appeared next to the " Winner " Enuni, who resembled Gehrman Sparrow, and grabbed his shoulder.
During this process, Klein retrieved the transparent worms implanted in the rat and insect Marionette, and then severed the two-way " Spirit Body Threads " connection.
In just a second or two, he and " the Winner " Enuni disappeared from the increasingly chaotic and noisy Elk Manor, Teleportation to the area symbolized by the image in his mind.
Just like the revelation Klein had just received, it was very quiet here; you could even hear the wind rustling through the leaves and bushes.
Thin, ethereal black lines then appeared in Klein's eyes, representing all the Spirituality beings in this area.
There are far too many to describe in a few dozen. It would be impossible for Klein to find the corresponding ones one by one and identify the problematic one in a short period of time.
However, he wasn't in a hurry, because he was at least certain of one thing:
As long as the " Marauder " pathway Demigod doesn't possess any particularly high-level items, his Divination results should be accurate. After all, since becoming a " Bizarro Sorcerer," not only have his abilities improved accordingly, but the power of the Gray Fog seeping into reality has also increased. Combined, even without going above the Gray Fog, his Divination ability is definitely outstanding among those at the Saint level, probably no worse than those of the same Sequence as the " Fate " pathway. Meanwhile, the " Marauder " pathway Demigod himself is in a worrying state, and his strength has dropped to a low point.
Therefore, Klein believed that the other party was hiding in this grove of bushes and had not escaped any further.
For this reason, he believed that waiting patiently was the best approach.
The " Marauder " who had passed through the Demigod realm was already quite weak and in an extremely unstable state, close to losing control. After the fierce battle just now and the abandonment of the rat's body, his situation would only get worse and there would be no improvement. In this situation, if "he" did not receive replenishment or recovery, he would run into problems sooner or later. Therefore, Klein could afford to wait, but he could not.
The chirping of insects spread out in waves. Klein waited while simultaneously focusing on transforming the Marionette and getting " Winner " Enuni to leave the area and hide about 1 kilometer away. At the same time, he was also on guard against his " Spirit Body Threads " being Manipulation, because he remembered that the enemy had "stolen" this extraordinary ability from the Marionette.
Suddenly, he heard a breath that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.
Immediately afterwards, a hysterical voice came from inside a large tree diagonally in front:
Why are you forcing me?
Why are you forcing me?
Why are you forcing me?!
A venomous, shrill sound rang out, and the bark of the large tree rapidly peeled away, revealing the wood beneath. From the wood, one hole after another cracked open, and out emerged strange insects with seven or eight segments.
The transparent parts of these insects are covered with many three-dimensional patterns, and above the segments, it seems as if time is flowing.
Suddenly, Klein lost all his thoughts, lost his extraordinary abilities of " Air Cannon " and " Paper Figurine Substitute," lost his belt, lost his coat, lost his top hat, and for a brief moment he was like a human statue.
However, this is not a serious matter for a Marionette, since it does not need to think and can regain its lost abilities by replacing the "worm".
Yes, the instant he heard the panting, Klein switched places with the " Winner," Enuni!
Such a " Winner " doesn't need to worry about his pants falling down after the belt is removed, because his waist expands rapidly under the influence of the " Faceless's " power, thus securing his pants.
New Marionette, including insects and rats, emerged from different places and surrounded the mutating tree.
Just then, a voice with a hint of a smile came from somewhere:
"Don't be impatient, don't be angry, things will be resolved."
The voice was powerful and convincing; the tree's mutation suddenly slowed, and the emerging Worm of Time slowly retreated.
"Is that so?" Inside the large tree with its bark peeled off, the previously resentful and angry voice had calmed down, tinged with a hint of confusion, as if it was about to be persuaded.
Klein now realized that what he had just said made perfect sense, and he couldn't help but reflect on why he had driven a Demigod to the point of losing control.
He had a vague feeling that he had forgotten something, and couldn't quite recall the main purpose of his visit.
Then he saw a figure walk in from outside the bushes, chuckling:
"Relax, I have a way to stop you from losing control, as long as you do as I say."
The figure wore a long, black trench coat, paired with black trousers and black leather shoes. He had a broad forehead, a thin face, and wore a tall top hat and distinctive monocle glasses, giving him an extremely refined appearance.
Klein's gaze suddenly froze, and a single word exploded in his mind:
" Amon!"
The person before him was " the Blasphemer " Amon, " the Angel of Time " Amon, Angel King Amon, Son of the Creator Amon!
Although he knew that the other party was only an avatar, Klein did not think much about it and directly followed the will of his heart, using " Creeping Hunger " to make his body quickly become transparent.
During this process, " Winner " Enuni snapped his fingers, lit the matches in his pocket and the fallen leaves in the distance, and used " Flame Jump " to Blink to Klein's side.
Klein grabbed him and they disappeared together.
According to Klein's plan, if Amon tries to stop him, or if the " Winner " Enuni doesn't return to his side quickly enough, he will simply abandon the Marionette and " Travel " to a distant place.
In this situation, the death of a Marionette in exchange for one's own life is simply the best deal ever!
Fortunately, Amon's clone was mainly focused on the tree with its bark peeling off, and did not do anything to stop it, or rather, did not have time to stop it.
After Klein and the Marionette disappeared, Amon stopped, glanced at the spot where they had stood, nodded slightly as if in thought, and chuckled.
" The Evernight Family's ' Bizarro Sorcerer '."
He immediately withdrew his gaze, looked at the semi-mutated tree, and asked with a smile:
"Descendants of Jacob?"
"Yes, yes, you know my ancestors?" Inside the great tree, the rat Demigod asked in a tone as if he had grabbed a life raft after drowning.
Amon raised his hand and touched his chin, nodding almost imperceptibly:
"Certainly.
"Their taste is quite good."
The Jacob Family inside the large tree fell silent for a moment, then after several seconds cried out in fear:
"You, you are ' Blasphemer ' Amon!"
From the holes in the trees, the segmented insects began to crawl out again.
However, they quickly became stiff and "frozen" in place.
Amon pinched the top and bottom of the monocle and smiled, saying:
"It's too late, isn't it?"
"If you had struggled and resisted from the beginning, it might have made some difference, but now... you don't think I came alone, do you?"
As he spoke, the surrounding bushes swayed, the leaves on the different trees rustled gently, and birds hopped onto the branches, making crisp sounds. Even the night breeze that swept through the vicinity carried an indescribable flavor.
"You..." The Jacob Family descendant inside the semi-mutated tree stopped abruptly as he began to speak.
Amon put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat and smiled leisurely:
"I heard your family split into several independent households, afraid that if I catch one, I'll expose the whole group? Oh right, did you, along with the descendants of Zoroast and other Beyonder of the ' Marauder ' pathway, establish a Concealment organization that calls itself the Hermits of Fate?"
"You must be one of them, right? I'll try to take your place and infiltrate that organization. Heh, a Concealment organization meant to protect against Amon from dealing with Amon, yet Amon is involved. It's quite interesting to think about."
At this point, he glanced at the semi-mutated tree that had begun to shake violently, and continued:
"Unfortunately, I've looked at your Fate. You haven't received a very good education in mysticism, so it's impossible for you to be a member of that organization. Are you the only one left of the Jacob Family bloodline?"
"Thinking of Backlund coming to find the secret treasure left by the Jacob Family, only to be severely injured and sealed away for some unknown reason?"
"Ha, you have traces of Parasitism ordinary animals, yet you haven't spoken to humans for a long time... Aren't you wondering why the knowledge you gained from the Potion when you advanced to Sequence 4, and the Concealment voices you heard, didn't include any 'warnings' about this? Hmm, I deleted them."
"No!"
A sharp, resentful voice rang out, filled with indescribable pain.
The semi-mutated tree shook even more violently, but then calmed down.
A tiny stream of light flew out from within and flowed into Amon's body.
Amon took out a piece of silk, removed his monocle, and muttered as he wiped it:
"How foolish! I told her too late, and she actually believed me. The biggest flaw of someone who's almost out of control is that they're brainless and easily Deceit."
"If I think about it carefully, how could I not understand the problem? If I could quickly resolve her issue and take away her Fate, why would I need to talk to her so much? An avatar is ultimately just an avatar..."
By the time Amon put his monocle back on, he had absorbed all the stream of light emanating from the semi-mutated tree.
Just then, a figure passed by outside the bushes; it was Hibbert.
She seemed to sense something and subconsciously turned her head to look this way, where she saw Amon.
Then, she smiled with delight and said:
"Teacher, are you feeling better?"
"Yes, someone has discovered your problem. You'd better go hide somewhere else!"
After listening quietly, Amon's lips gradually curled up into a smile:
"OK."
