Pa!
The tumbling gold coin landed in Klein's palm, but he didn't look at whether it was heads or tails. This was because a scene had already been fixed in his mind.
Trees stood tall in the bushes, and the thin clouds in the sky failed to hide the many stars that adorned the "black velvet." The sound of insects' chirping spread far and wide in the quiet night, mixed with the commotion caused by the two "explosions" in Moose Manor.
Klein quickly used his knowledge of astrology to roughly determine the corresponding area in this scene. Then, with a flash, he appeared beside Enuni, who looked like German Sparrow, and grabbed his shoulder.
During this process, Klein retracted the transparent maggots that he had implanted into the rat and bug puppet marionettes. Then, he severed the two-way Spirit Body Threads connection.
In just a second or two, he and Enuni disappeared from the Moose Manor, which was gradually turning chaotic and noisy. They were teleported to the area symbolized by the scene in his mind.
This place was the same as the revelation Klein had just received. It was very quiet, to the point where one could even hear the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves and bushes.
Illusory black threads appeared in Klein's eyes, representing all the creatures with spirituality in the area.
There were just too many of them, far more than a few dozen. If Klein wanted to find the corresponding ones and identify the problematic ones, it wouldn't be something that could be done 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 didn't have any particularly high-level items on him, the results of his divination should be accurate. After all, after he became a Bizarro Sorcerer, not only had his corresponding abilities improved, but the gray fog's ability to seep into the real world had also increased. With the two added together, even if he didn't go above the gray fog, his divination abilities were definitely considered outstanding among saints. He probably wasn't inferior to Beyonders of the Fate pathway. As for the Marauder pathway demigod, he was in a worrisome state. His strength had already dropped to an all-time low.
Therefore, Klein believed that the demigod was hiding in the forest with bushes and hadn't escaped any further.
For this reason, he believed that waiting patiently was the best solution.
The Marauder pathway demigod was rather weak to begin with. His condition was extremely unstable, and he was on the verge of losing control. After experiencing the intense battle and abandoning the rat's body, his situation would only worsen without any improvement. In such a situation, if "he" didn't receive any replenishment or recovery, problems would occur sooner or later. Therefore, Klein could afford to wait, but he couldn't.
As Klein waited, he quickly transformed his marionette. He also got Enuni to leave the area and hide nearly a kilometer away. At the same time, he was also guarding against his Spirit Body Threads being manipulated. This was because he remembered that the enemy had "stolen" this Beyonder power from his marionette.
Suddenly, he heard a gasp that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.
Then, a hysterical voice came from a big tree in front of them.
"Why are you forcing me?
"Why are you forcing me?
"Why are you forcing me!?"
With a sharp, resentful voice, the tree's bark quickly peeled off, revealing the wood beneath. And on the wood, holes cracked open one after another as strange insects with seven or eight rings drilled out.
The transparent parts of these insects had many three-dimensional patterns floating above them, and the rings seemed to have the passage of time.
Suddenly, Klein lost all his thoughts. He lost the two Beyonder powers of Air Cannon and Paper Figurine Substitutes. He lost his belt, coat, and top hat. For a moment, he was like a human statue.
However, this wasn't too serious of a matter for a marionette. After all, he didn't need to think. The powers he lost could be regained by swapping "worms."
Yes, at the instant he heard the gasp, Klein had swapped places with Enuni!
And such a Winner didn't need to worry about his pants dropping after losing his belt. Under the influence of his Faceless powers, his waist rapidly swelled up and stuck to his pants.
The worms, rats, and other new marionettes crawled out from different spots and surrounded the mutating tree.
At this moment, a voice with a hint of a smile sounded from somewhere.
"Don't be impatient. Don't be angry. Things will be resolved."
This voice was filled with convincing power. The tree's mutation suddenly slowed down as the ringed worms that drilled out slowly shrank back.
"Is that so?" In the tree with its bark peeling off, the resentful voice returned to its calm state. There was a hint of confusion in it, as though it was about to be convinced.
As for Klein, he also felt that the words from before made sense. He couldn't help but reflect on why he had forced a demigod to the point of losing control.
He vaguely felt that he had forgotten something and couldn't recall the main reason for his visit.
Then, he saw a figure walk in from the bushes and chuckle.
"Relax. I have a way to stop you from losing control as long as you do as I say."
The figure wore a black trench coat that resembled a robe, paired with black pants and black leather shoes. He had a wide forehead and a thin face. He wore a tall top hat and a unique monocle, making him look extremely refined.
Klein's gaze suddenly froze as a word reverberated in his mind like an explosion:
Amon!
The person in front of him was Blasphemer Amon, Angel of Time Amon, King of Angels Amon, and the son of the Creator!
Although he knew that the other party was only an avatar, Klein didn't think too much about it. He followed his heart's will and used Creeping Hunger to make his body quickly turn transparent.
During this process, Enuni snapped his fingers and ignited the matchstick in his pocket and the fallen leaves in the distance. With Flaming Jump, he flashed to Klein's side.
Klein grabbed him and vanished with him.
According to Klein's thoughts, if Amon stopped him, or if Enuni didn't return to his side fast enough, he would directly abandon his marionette and "Travel" far away.
In such a situation, exchanging a marionette's death for his own life was extremely worth it!
Fortunately, Amon's avatar's attention was mainly focused on the peeling tree and did not do anything to stop it. Or rather, he did not have the time to stop it.
After Klein and his marionette vanished, Amon stopped and turned his head to look at where the two of them were standing. As though in thought, he nodded slightly and scoffed.
"The Heiye family's Bizarro Sorcerer."
He immediately retracted his gaze and looked at the semi-mutated tree.
"A descendant of the Ya family?"
"Yes, yes, you know my ancestor?" Inside the big tree, the rat demigod from before asked in a tone as if he was drowning and had grabbed onto a floating board.
Amon rubbed his chin and nodded indiscernibly.
"Of course.
"They taste pretty good."
The descendant of the Jacob family in the tree fell silent for a moment. After a few seconds, he shouted with fear.
"Y-You are Blasphemer Amon!"
Inside the holes in the tree, the ringed insects began to crawl out again.
However, they quickly turned stiff and "froze" on the spot.
Amon pinched the top and bottom of the monocle and smiled.
"It's too late, isn't it?
"If you had struggled and resisted from the beginning, it might have been of some use, but now … Don't tell me you think I came alone?"
As he spoke, the surrounding bushes shook. The leaves on the different trees gently swayed as birds leaped onto the branches, producing crisp sounds. Even the night wind that passed through the vicinity had an indescribable flavor to it.
"You …" The Jacob family descendant in the semi-mutated tree stopped the moment he said that.
Amon stuffed his hands into the pockets of his trench coat and leisurely smiled.
"I heard that your family has split into small families that have no contact with each other. Are you afraid that I'll capture a group of them? Ah right, did you establish a secret organization with Zoroast's descendants and other Beyonders of the Marauder pathway, calling yourselves the Hermits of Fate?
"You should be one of them, right? I'll try to assume your identity and infiltrate that organization to take a look. Heh heh, it's quite interesting to have Amon participate in a secret organization that prevents Amon from dealing with Amon. "
Having said that, he glanced at the semi-mutated tree that was beginning to shake violently and continued, "Unfortunately, I've seen your fate.
You didn't receive a very good mysticism education, so it's impossible for you to be a member of that organization. You're the only descendant of the Jacob family left?
"To think that Baekeland came to search for the secret treasure left behind by the Jacob family, only to be heavily injured for some unknown reason and be sealed?
"Ha, you have traces of parasitizing an ordinary animal, but you haven't spoken to humans for a long period of time … Are you wondering if the secret voice you heard from the knowledge you gained from the potion when you advanced to Sequence 4 didn't include such a reminder? Yes, I'll delete it. "
"No!"
A resentful and venomous voice sounded sharply, filled with indescribable pain.
The semi-mutated tree shook even more violently before calming down.
Streams of light flew out and surged into Amon's body.
Amon took out a piece of silk and took off the monocle. As he wiped it, he mumbled, "How foolish.
I said it was too late, and she actually believed me. The greatest weakness of a person who's close to losing control is that they don't have a brain and are easily deceived.
As long as I think about it seriously, how can I not understand the problem? If I could quickly finish her off and take away her fate, why would I need to say so much to her? An avatar is ultimately an avatar … "
By the time Amon put on the monocle again, the streams of light that surged out from the semi-mutated tree had been completely absorbed by "Him."
At this moment, a figure passed by the bushes. It was none other than Hazel, who had changed into her hunting clothes.
She seemed to sense something as she subconsciously turned her head to look over and saw Amon.
Then, she revealed a pleasantly surprised smile.
"Teacher, you've turned around?
"Yes, someone has discovered your problem. It's best you hide somewhere else!"
Amon listened quietly as the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Alright."
