After a while, the sky above the collapsed forest suddenly tore apart as an illusory and mysterious door appeared.
The door opened silently as a black-haired, golden-eyed, mature, and elegant handsome man walked out in a well-ironed suit.
Before he could observe the scene, he heard a sonic boom and sensed a violent hurricane blowing over. He saw a middle-aged man with an astonishing aura in front of him.
The middle-aged man had rather obvious large earlobes. His hair was dark blue and thick, and his eyes seemed to hide countless bolts of lightning.
He was the Cardinal of the Church of the Storm, the archbishop of the Baekeland diocese, Deep Blue Officiant Randall Valentine.
This clergyman, who was wearing a black robe embroidered with the symbol of the Storm, looked around and cast his gaze at the golden-eyed man.
He asked with a thunderous voice, "Celt, what happened here?"
The golden-eyed man known as Celt shook his head.
"I just arrived as well."
Just as he said that, a mountain-like, nearly transparent Spirit Body appeared in the void on the other side, placing a figure in midair.
The figure wore a black archbishop robe with red patterns. His eyes were deep and he didn't have a beard. He was none other than the person-in-charge of the Church of Evernight's Baekeland diocese, Anthony Stevenson.
After the gigantic Spirit Body completed its mission, it immediately shrank and entered Saint Anthony's mouth. At the same time, a spirit with long black hair covering its face and a transparent lower body appeared behind Anthony. It held his shoulder and prevented him from falling.
In the next second, turbulent air currents rushed over from Baekeland, pushing a figure towards the area at high speeds.
Soon, the figure stopped. It was an elder wearing a white priest's robe and a clergyman's bonnet. He had a benevolent and gentle expression.
The air that spewed out from the elder's back vanished as the black tube that shimmered with a metallic luster retracted into his body.
This was the archbishop of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery's Baekeland diocese, a member of the Divine Synod, Horamick Haydn.
He strangely stopped in midair and surveyed the area.
"Although the battle here isn't too intense, it's certain that it's at the saint level.
"Also, the remnant corrupted aura is simply … simply …"
As they spoke, the four demigods lowered their heads at the same time and looked at the center of the collapsed forest.
There was a tarot card inserted there. The card depicted an old man with a cane and a glass lamp.
The Hermit card!
Randall Valentine, Celt, Anthony, and Horamick immediately fell into silence. No one spoke for a moment.
…
Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace, Klein frowned as he looked at the Box of the Great Old Ones in front of him.
The moment the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact was sacrificed, the entire Sefirah Castle stirred, as though it had reached a boiling point.
Boundless energy was automatically activated like steam, gathering into a torrent that completely drowned the Box of the Great Old Ones, wrapping it in layers and binding it tightly.
At this moment, the silver-black three-layered "jewelry box" embedded with gems seemed to have become a bug in amber, unable to move at all.
Previously, when Sefirah Castle was triggered, it was when I spied on a true god or a King of Angels and suffered damage … This is the first time it has experienced such a change due to an external object … Klein couldn't help but raise his right hand and wipe his nonexistent sweat.
To be honest, he felt a little afraid. He felt that he had gone a little too far after gaining initial control of Sefirah Castle.
In the past, he didn't dare let a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact enter this place. But this time, because it didn't involve the Uniqueness, and because he had undergone a qualitative improvement compared to the past, he had the thought of giving it a try.
Thankfully, it's under control … In the future, I have to tell Ma 'am Hermit and the others that they can't sacrifice everything they pick up to me. It's not like I'm a trash collector … Klein mumbled and began inspecting the Box of the Great Old Ones.
He remembered that Miss Magicians was still inside the Sealed Artifact, so he planned on figuring out the situation with the Box of the Great Old Ones as soon as possible to prevent the bait from dying because of any delay.
This Sealed Artifact's level is very high. Arrodes's understanding of it is rather limited. I'll have to do it myself … From the looks of it, as long as I don't attempt to divine what's in the third level or try to find the source of the power, the danger can be endured. There might not even be any … Klein relied on his spiritual intuition and made a preliminary judgment.
Right on the heels of that, he conjured a pen and paper and began "divination."
After an unknown period of time, he finally opened his eyes and muttered silently to himself,
The first level can swap the location of the internal space with the target area, and it can reduce the corresponding scene into a toy … This is an ability that can barely be used …
A living being that has been transformed into a toy has to be released within 24 hours. Otherwise, it will be permanently transformed. Even a Spirit Body won't be able to sleep in peace …
The release is very simple. I just need to designate an area, an area so small that it's almost devoid of living beings, and swap it with the internal space …
There's a limit to the range of this ability. At most, it's a city as big as Baekeland … Why did I use this as an example …
The second level records different scenes. There's the Abyss, the cosmos, and all kinds of places. It can allow the wielder and the living beings within a certain range to directly move to the target area …
The problem with this is that it's random. A small portion of the time, one can designate the location and release the corresponding location. Most of the time, the location chosen will change, and the final destination will be unpredictable … As for when the designation will be effective and when there will be an anomaly, there's no way of knowing …
Furthermore, this seems to be something that good luck can't affect. Or rather, good luck below Sequence 0 can't affect it …
This means that there's no way to use the Box of the Great Old Ones' Beyonder power to directly transfer the City of Silver out of the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Sigh, if I could, my Miracle Invoker ritual would be very simple … Uh, I'll try turning it into a toy later …
The third level is very dangerous, very, very dangerous. I won't take the risk of prying after repeating the important words thrice. No, this should be called courting death by prying …
The negative effects of the Box of the Great Old Ones are very simple. The wielder will randomly vanish, die, or mutate. If there's no wielder, the living beings in the surrounding area will encounter this terrifying matter one after another according to their distance and size. The largest range is similar to the first level … These Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts are terrifying fellows that can destroy cities and kill millions or even more people with just a single wrong word. It's no wonder they have to be sealed according to the highest standards. No prying, inquiries, or descriptions are allowed …
Where the vanishers go seems to be related to the scene on the second level …
The reason why the Saint of Secrets dares to take action with this Sealed Artifact is that he has the blessings of the Angel of Fate Ouroboros. It can minimize the randomness of the negative effects, but even so, he doesn't dare to hold it for too long because the blessings will wear off … From the looks of it, his failure to regain his lucidity in advance and find a chance to "Teleport" away has something to do with his bad luck … Saints that are valued by large organizations are really difficult to kill …
Ma 'am Hermit is considered experienced and clear-headed. She didn't make contact blindly. Instead, she created an invisible servant to take it. Furthermore, she sacrificed this Grade 0 Sealed Artifact to me in the shortest amount of time possible …
In theory, I can summon a projection from the Historical Void to take this item. After all, it doesn't matter if it dies, disappears, or mutates. However, there's no guarantee of how long it can be used unless I obtain Will Auceptin's blessings in advance …
The way to seal it is to place it in the spirit world. That's not enough. I have to distort and hide a space in the spirit world. Then, I have to regularly fill it with ordinary water, allowing the Box of the Great Old Ones to play with microorganisms every day … With so many living beings, it can last for a very long period of time … After grasping this line of thought, there are still many ways to seal it …
After roughly figuring out the exact situation of the Box of the Great Old Ones, Klein looked at the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact and felt that its third level no longer had the heavy feeling that it couldn't be opened.
Vaguely, he believed that as long as he reached out and removed the seal of Sefirah Castle, he would be able to easily open the third level of the Box of the Great Old Ones.
… What a strong temptation … Klein retracted his gaze and waved his hand, making the Box of the Great Old Ones fly to the junk pile in the corner.
Who cares if it's a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact? I'll head there first to sober up!
As a terrifying Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, it has to have a number before it can be ranked. Unfortunately, I don't know what the Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts of the seven Churches are. It shouldn't exceed 50, right? Yes, I'll temporarily call the Box of the Great Old Ones 0-61. I'll adjust it according to the situation in the future …
If Ma 'am Hermit is unable to create a good sealing environment, I can place 0-61 above the gray fog. I'll apply for it when there's a need. Of course, I have to pray for Will's blessings in advance … I wonder when I, the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck, will be able to live up to my name? A Miracle Invoker has a portion, and an Attendant of Mysteries should have a portion as well … Klein entertained himself for a while before picking up the Beyonder characteristic left behind by the Saint of Secrets, Boutis.
It looked like a crystal, and countless rays of light refracted inside, transforming into illusory and resplendent doors.
Klein stared at it for a few seconds before suddenly throwing the Beyonder characteristic into the air.
The power of Sefirah Castle boiled once again. Under Klein's control, it formed a corporeal translucent wave that slammed into the crystal.
The crystal instantly shattered, splitting into countless tiny points of light. Pitch-black gas emitted from it and rapidly melted in Sefirah Castle, disappearing without a trace.
Under the law of Beyonder characteristic convergence, the tiny points of light gradually gathered together. In nearly a minute, they reformed into the beautiful and dreamy crystal from before and landed in Klein's palm.
The contamination inside had been removed.
In Sefirah Castle, Klein was equivalent to a Sequence 2 angel. However, most of the time, he only had strength and was unable to use the Beyonder powers of the corresponding level. He needed the help of the correct supplementary items.
After putting away the Secrets Sorcerer Beyonder characteristic, Klein cast his gaze at the two remaining eyeballs of Boutis.
