Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the marionette town, Klein began to think about Miss Justice's encounter.
The operation against the mind dragon, Ariehogg, wasn't arranged by Adam, but by Hermes?
Otherwise, it's impossible for Adam not to descend, and it's impossible for Ariehogg to escape so easily. He had to use the second City of Miracles to have some hope.
If it was led by Hermes, the development of the entire matter is rather logical … Hermes had no intention of capturing or killing Ariehogg. He only hoped to obtain some information from this ancient mind dragon. When Ariehogg said that Adam isn't necessarily Adam, the operation naturally came to an end.
Yes, from the looks of it, Hermes had long suspected Adam's true state. However, due to the restrictions of his identity, he was unable to make Ariehogg appear on his own accord, so he used Miss Justice.
Adam isn't necessarily Adam, and Ariehogg isn't necessarily Ariehogg … This sentence is really interesting. The Upper Echelons of the Spectator pathway are even more mysterious than Seers. Back then, Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt clearly occupied the position of Sequence 0, but "He" had a Sequence 1 son of the same pathway, Dragon of Nightmare Alzuhod …
If Adam really isn't Adam, then who is "He"? Is "He" the Adam from the myths and legends before the First Epoch, or is "He" a part of the Primordial One? Or is "He" related to the resurrection of the ancient Sun God? From the looks of it, Medici calling "Him" a "Paranoid" really has a deep meaning …
Klein quickly conjured a gold coin and flicked it into the air to make a divination.
The results of the divination showed that there was no harm in today's matter.
Klein immediately dispersed the gold coin and prepared to descend his consciousness and return to his body that was sleeping in Saint Arianna Cathedral.
At this moment, his movements became a little sluggish.
Miss Justice's encounter with Ariehogg and Hermes and the MI9 personnel's return to Utopia to testify in court happened almost at the same time.
Individually, there wasn't any problem with either side, but the word "at the same time" made Klein somewhat wary.
He was very sensitive to "coincidences," "coincidences," "at the same time," and "almost." This was the mark left in his mind by his past experiences.
Tapping the edge of the long, mottled table, Klein decided to make some preparations for his worries.
He quickly condensed a ray of light that contained some words and will, and threw it into a prayer light.
After doing this, Klein sank his consciousness and left Sefirah Castle, allowing his mind to return to his main body.
Right on the heels of that, he began to influence Utopia, planning to make all the foreigners in the city temporarily "leave" through various arrangements.
In this way, even if an accident really happened, it wouldn't affect the innocent.
This also meant that Klein was prepared to abandon Utopia and change locations to rebuild his marionette town. After all, the ritual could be repeated many times, and people could only be revived once after death.
…
"Rest well for the next two days. There's still some time before the trial." Biles sent Wendel to the entrance of the Irises Hotel.
Wendel replied with a smile, "That's right.
"I'm already feeling sleepy."
At that moment, it was midnight. Previously, because he was too anxious and nervous, he couldn't sleep. That was why he wanted to wander around MI9 headquarters to ease his mood. However, when he heard the conversation of his colleagues on duty, his emotions completely ignited. He decided to return to Utopia and face the problem head-on.
After checking in, Wendel, who didn't take his luggage, briskly walked to the third floor and entered his room.
When he passed through the door, he vaguely felt that his surroundings were abnormally dark.
In order to sleep better, Wendel walked to the window and pulled the curtains.
During this process, he inexplicably felt that the scenery outside the window was abnormally familiar.
However, under the shroud of the night, he couldn't tell it clearly. Thinking that it might be a scene he had seen in Utopia before, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned. As he took off his clothes, he walked to his bed.
…
Monica slept until midnight and suddenly had the urge to pee.
After holding it in for a long time, she couldn't hold it in any longer. In the end, she got out of bed and walked to the bathroom that came with the room.
When she pushed open the bathroom door, she felt that it had become a little heavier.
Rubbing her eyes that she couldn't open, Monica didn't mind this tiny change. She quickly cleaned up her personal hygiene problem, ran out of the bathroom, and rushed back to her bed.
When she crawled into bed, she felt that the temperature inside had dropped significantly. All she could do was wrap herself tightly in layers.
It didn't take long for her to fall asleep again.
…
About fifteen minutes later, Biles, who was patrolling the streets, rubbed his hands and turned to the street where the police station was, preparing to hand over his work to his colleagues.
Suddenly, his body froze at the alley's entrance.
The black and dense Spirit Body Threads on his body fell off at the same time and floated upwards.
An exquisitely cut paper figurine landed and connected with the Spirit Body Threads, quickly turning into another Biles.
At the same time, a huge amount of knowledge turned into a torrent of information, surging over and reassembling into a man in luxurious clothes with long maroon hair.
This man had blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. He was none other than Rosell Gustav's Sequence 1 historical projection.
Right on the heels of that, the projection grabbed and gathered all the surrounding information into his palm, condensing into an illusory ball of light.
This information included the details of what had happened to Biles.
In the next second, Rosell Gustav's historical projection forged a piece of information that was completely normal, allowing it to travel along the Spirit Body Threads connected to the paper figurine to Saint Arianna Cathedral in the municipal square and into the cathedral's basement.
After this series of actions, another torrent of information surged over in midair. With Rosell's help, it reformed into three figures.
One was an old man wearing a black robe and a hood, with a long and dense white beard on his face. The other was a middle-aged man with black hair and blue eyes, a rather square face, and a dignified aura. The third was a huge tree that seemed to have been doused with oil. Above the tree, there were arms that protruded with all sorts of strange things. Rolling on them were black-and-white eyeballs that were covered in blood vessels.
"They" were:
Leader of the Secret Order, Zaratul!
Protector of Rouen, the first king, William Augustus I's Historical Void projection!
The historical projection of Abomination Suah!
After making the corresponding preparations, Zaratul used the location provided by the historical projection to sneak into Utopia.
Without any delay, "He" reached out his right hand and used the law of Beyonder characteristics convergence to suck the Worm of Spirit out of Biles's body.
On the other side, on one of the palm-sized hands of Abomination Suah's historical projection, there was a rather ugly doll the size of a palm.
This doll was wet and sticky. It didn't have eyes, ears, or a nose. It only had a hole-like mouth that spewed out grayish-white fog.
As the Worm of Spirit and the doll approached, the black-and-white eyeballs rolling on Suah's tree trunk looked at them at the same time.
Silently, the Worm of Spirit fused with the ugly doll. The doll twisted and squirmed as it grew eyes, nose, and ears, becoming like Klein Moretti.
At this point, Zaratul no longer concealed himself, nor could he conceal himself. He took out a black shroud and suddenly wrapped Klein's doll!
In the entire Utopia, all the marionettes' Spirit Body Threads were severed at the same time, unable to connect to their main bodies.
This wasn't a problem with them, but that their main bodies had been isolated from them.
In an instant, the people on duty in the police station, the guests in the hotel, Tracey and the thieves in the cell, and the citizens in the different rooms, including Anderson and Alsue, stopped breathing and turned stiff.
Regardless of whether they were sleeping or doing something else, it was as though the pause button had been pressed at that moment.
At the bottom of Saint Arianna Cathedral, Klein woke up and knew that an accident had indeed happened.
Without any hesitation, with a thought, he returned to Sefirah Castle and used the level and strength of a King of Angels to resist the enemies that had surfaced and those that had yet to surface.
This was the best choice in the current situation.
Even if he couldn't protect his main body, Klein still had a chance to revive.
At this moment, his floating consciousness encountered an invisible and dark barrier. It was difficult for him to penetrate it and enter Sefirah Castle.
This … Klein tensed up, believing that the enemy might be more troublesome than he imagined.
Not many high-level existences knew that he could return to Sefirah Castle without using a ritual!
In the next second, the huge tree that seemed to be covered in sticky oil had arrived above Saint Arianna Cathedral.
At the same time, a deep and dignified voice echoed in the air.
"Wandering is prohibited here!
"Teleportation is prohibited here!
"…"
Klein wasn't controlled by his emotions. Seeing that he couldn't return to Sefirah Castle for the time being, he immediately changed his strategy and leaped into the fog of history.
As soon as the grayish-white fog entered his eyes, it turned into a vortex formed by countless transparent maggots. The vortex extended out slippery tentacles covered in strange patterns.
Unlike the previous time, the vortex emitted a powerful suction force, causing Klein's figure to accelerate as he was entangled by countless tentacles.
Law of Beyonder characteristic convergence!
The law of Beyonder characteristic convergence between angels!
A subtle light flashed as Klein, who had been firmly controlled by Zaratul's Mythical Creature form, turned into a paper figurine.
This was both an angel-level application of Paper Figurine Substitutes, and it also had the help of "Grafting."
Although Klein was unable to return to Sefirah Castle, he could influence the Worms of Spirit above the gray fog, allowing them to summon the "curtain" and provide "His" help.
After dodging Zaratul's fatal strike, Klein ran into the fog of history, fleeing towards the city of old before the First Epoch.
At this moment, many marionettes in Utopia that had been dead for a long time had lost the support of their Spirit Body Threads. Their flesh and blood rapidly rotted, or their limbs fell off, or they were affected by their Beyonder characteristics. All sorts of mutations occurred, transforming into different forms and terrifying monsters that exceeded imagination.
They swallowed their own heads. Some were left with wriggling flesh and blood, while others grew densely packed eyes …
Soon, Klein ran into the city of old in the fog of history.
To him, this was a safe house that he could trust. This was because only a Scholar of Yore and a prehistoric human had the right to enter.
Klein didn't hesitate. After habitually looking around, he began praying to the Evernight Goddess on the layers of city ruins.
Puff!
With a soft sound, an ancient wooden cross with traces of blood pierced through Klein's heart from behind.
A figure appeared behind him. It was a cold-looking man wearing a half top hat and a black trench coat.
German Sparrow.
Klein's pupils dilated as the crazy adventurer said in a deep voice, "That's right.
"Adam gave me humanity."
