Mr. Door's figure, which was condensed from a ball of light, paused there, as though he had fallen into an intense internal struggle.
The layers of doors in "His" body were just short of completely overlapping.
Amidst the illusory crashing sounds, the crimson tide that could barely squeeze through the gap of the Door of Flesh and Blood became even more turbulent. The blood-colored robe landed heavily, about to wrap around Bethel Abraham once again.
But as it descended, the surrounding brass eyes that had grown wings, the young man in flaming armor, the blurry barrier of light that accentuated his terrifying facial features, the land that had opened its eyes and closed its mouth, and the shadow-like woman disappeared at the same time. They silently vanished from this World.
In an instant, a blinding Sun appeared above the forest. The day replaced the night, causing all the shadows to rapidly dissipate.
This forced the blood-colored robe to flutter once again, scattering out more crimson moonlight, causing all the disturbances to return to "His" mother's embrace.
Seizing this opportunity, Mr. Door's figure closed his slightly illusory eyes and lowered "His" head.
"Alright …" With great difficulty and pain, "He" let out the first sound "He" made after returning to reality.
"His" figure completely froze. Then, "He" raised "His" right hand and brought it close to "His" face.
In the next second, Mr. Door raised "His" head and wore a crystal monocle on "His" right eye.
On the monocle, a beam of light instantly erupted, illuminating the entire World.
At that moment, all the errors that caused the seal to fail were corrected. All the seemingly normal actions had errors, and all the clocks had skipped a few seconds.
The ritual of a Marauder's Sequence 0 Error was:
To replace "His" position during someone else's apotheosis ritual!
And Mr. Door's return seemed to have directly triggered "His" apotheosis ritual.
The light immediately converged, and Mr. Door had already turned into Amon wearing a pointed hat and a classic black robe.
In the Blasphemer's hand was a key that was made of pure starlight, looking rather ancient in style.
Above "Him," the blood-colored robe fell, about to embrace "Him." Behind "Him," the crimson tide angrily squeezed through the remains of the Gate of Flesh and Blood, about to completely squeeze into the World.
In this short moment, the blood-red moonlight shone brightly, blocking the Sun, the Dark Night, the Earth, the misty light, and the strange White Tower.
In the face of the erosion from the Outer Gods, the corners of Amon's mouth curled up slightly. He stretched out his right hand and took out an abnormally ancient stone slab with a mottled surface.
The first Blasphemy Slate!
Then, "He" used the stone slab produced by the Chaos Sea to block the remaining gap in the Door of Flesh and Blood. "He" used it as a substitute to receive the falling blood-colored robe.
The first Blasphemy Slate immediately turned illusory as though it was connected to a boundless sea that contained all colors and possibilities.
This sea surged violently, swallowing the blood-colored robe, blocking the crimson tide that came from the starry sky.
The Door of Flesh and Blood, which had already collapsed, rapidly shrank and quickly disappeared. An angry and terrifying roar sounded, echoing endlessly.
In the next second, the crimson moon appeared in the sky again. Its color quickly faded as it became bright. And above the brightness, there seemed to be a huge, distorted crimson figure.
Wearing a pointy hat and a classic black robe, Amon adjusted the monocle on his right eye and waved at the crimson figure and the bright moon that were staring at him. Then, with a smile on his face, he bowed slightly and bowed to the surroundings.
…
Inside the corpse cathedral, where a huge cross stood, countless skulls watched with their empty "eyes."
Dressed in a simple white robe, Adam looked at the lightning outside the stained glass that showed no signs of stopping. "He" slowly got up and walked to the pool of flesh left behind by Klein. "He" bent down to pick up the ancient and mysterious mirror.
Then, "He" turned around and walked towards the second Blasphemy Slate.
…
The first figure summoned by Zaratul from the fog of history was still Rosell Gustav, who wore a dark red coat embroidered with golden threads and had slightly curled chestnut-colored hair.
To this Attendant of Mysteries, he knew quite a number of angels that could be summoned in his long life. There were only a few that were stronger than a Sequence 1 Knowledge Emperor. For example, the ancestor of the Antigonus family before he became The Half-Fool, the Angel of Fate Ouroboros, and the upper echelons of the Red War army that could indirectly obtain the power of the Red Angel.
But in the present situation, Zaratul believed that it was safer to first summon Rosell Gustav's Historical Void projection.
Before the ancestor of the Antigonus family became The Half-Fool, he was also a Sequence 1 Attendant of Mysteries. He would be suppressed by an enemy who had further control of Sefirah Castle and whose level exceeded most Kings of Angels and was close to that of a true god.
After Zaratul chose to cooperate with Rose School and Adam, the success rate of summoning the Angel of Fate Ouroboros would undoubtedly drop. It wasn't suitable for him to attempt it at a critical juncture.
The Red War's upper echelons, who could borrow power from the past Red Angel, didn't directly possess the powers, so the actual effects they could produce wouldn't be much stronger than Knowledge Emperor Rosell Gustav.
In comparison, Zaratul would definitely choose the historical projection that he was most familiar with and was the easiest to summon.
"His" plan was to seize the opportunity when German Sparrow "Wandered" over and didn't prepare the Historical Void projection ahead of time. He would use Knowledge Emperor Rosell Gustav, the upper echelons of the Red War army, and Abomination Suah to hold him back, giving "Himself" enough time to create a miracle.
The moment Rosell's figure appeared, complicated and illusory symbols immediately condensed in "His" eyes. "He" wanted to inject large amounts of miscellaneous and useless knowledge into "His" target's mind, causing "His" head to explode.
At the same time, Zaratul used the various connections he had set up ahead of time to shift his location. This swamp was "His" home ground. As "He" let slippery and transparent tentacles penetrate the hooded black robe and extend into the fog of history, he summoned the upper echelon of the Red War army.
At this moment, Rosell Gustav's historical projection suddenly turned "His" head. Using the subtle connection between them, "He" looked at Zaratul's true body.
Zaratul's mind was instantly filled with a large amount of redundant information and useless knowledge. "His" head nearly exploded, and "His" thoughts were temporarily unable to move.
"He" froze there. "His" eyes didn't even have the time to change!
The historical projection of Knowledge Emperor Rosell Gustav that "He" summoned had betrayed "Him"!
Klein was both surprised and unsurprised by such an outcome.
What wasn't surprising was that this was something he was in charge of. His Worms of Spirit in Sefirah Castle had already "Grafted" Rosell's current state with the concealed state that Klein had experienced!
What was surprising was that Adam hadn't warned Zaratul to be careful of Rosell Gustav.
After Klein had previously sensed that there were some coincidences, his preparations were to use the connection between The Fool's symbol and Rosell Gustav's seal. Through the corresponding prayer point of light, he had transformed a Worm of Spirit that carried certain words and will into light and threw it to his fellow countryman who was sleeping, awakening "Him." And with the help of a "miracle," "Him" was given some power to temporarily suppress the corruption of the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
At that time, the worst situation that Klein could prevent was that something had happened to him and he was unable to contact Sefirah Castle. As for the Worms of Spirit in Sefirah Castle and the other Worms of Spirit that were scattered in different places, they would lose control and be unable to save themselves.
Once he gave Rosell's Worm of Spirit a mutation, Rosell would know that something had gone wrong. He would use the Black Emperor's ability to distort order to make the Worm of Spirit remain lucid for a certain period of time.
As for the method that the Worm of Spirit and Rosell would discuss to save himself, Klein didn't know either.
This was the true reason why he could hide it from Adam!
With his experience in the Hall of Truth, he knew that he wouldn't have any secrets when facing a Visionary. Any method he thought of to save himself, regardless of whether it was something he had accumulated in the past or something that had just occurred to him, would be clearly seen and heard by Adam.
At his level, the only way to avoid it was that even he didn't know how he would save himself.
Of course, Visionary Adam knew without a doubt that Klein had a Worm of Spirit in Rosell Gustav's Black Emperor mausoleum. "He" knew that "His" backup plan definitely came from there, but "He" couldn't pry into it because it was a place corrupted by the Mother Goddess of Depravity. It was a deity that had been corrupted by the cosmos. Prying into Rosell Gustav's thoughts was akin to prying into an Outer Deity!
This was the difference in level.
It was precisely because of this that Klein could calmly ask about all kinds of secrets and decipher the second Blasphemy Slate. On the one hand, the knowledge was indeed tempting. On the other hand, he was stalling for time and waiting for the other side to save himself. At the same time, he didn't let his mind be completely idle as he couldn't help but think about how he would save himself.
As a result, Klein had a preliminary suspicion that the reason why Adam had shared so many secrets with him, apart from the reason he couldn't guess at the moment, was to induce him to think about how to save himself. From there, he could find clues and stop "Him" ahead of time.
Therefore, the questions and answers in the corpse cathedral were also a clash of the mind. Klein had to constantly control himself and not let his thoughts run astray.
And under this premise, Adam clearly knew that something might happen to Rosell Gustav, but "He" didn't warn Zaratul!
Regardless of the reason, Klein didn't have any thoughts of letting go of the opportunity in front of him. He immediately raised the Staff of the Stars in his hand and skillfully simulated the powers of a Worm of Time.
Clang!
The phantom of an ancient mottled stone clock appeared. The dial was separated into twelve asymmetrical parts by grayish-white and bluish-black. Each part had different symbols that represented different times.
Clang!
One of the three needles at the core of the stone clock jumped as Zaratul's body completely froze in place.
Klein immediately transformed into a maggot vortex that extended countless slippery tentacles. In the middle of the vortex was the phantom of a strange door of light.
The door of light didn't move as the vortex spun rapidly. A terrifying suction force wreaked havoc as it forcefully extracted the Beyonder characteristic from Zaratul's body.
This was the method Pallez Zoroast had used to deal with Amon's avatar back then. He relied on his level to forcefully gather them!
Bit by bit, the Beyonder characteristic flew out faster and faster. By the time Zaratul escaped the frozen time and the explosion of his mind, "He" was already unable to extricate himself. All "He" could do was watch in despair and sigh as "His" body was completely lifted up and fell into the dark maggot vortex!
A few seconds later, the vortex outlined "His" body again as Klein's feet stepped onto the ground.
In the fog of history, Zaratul's figure appeared again and again, but he was unable to snatch back the Beyonder characteristic from "Him." In the end, "Him" could only fade away, unable to completely revive.
Klein used the effects of the ritual that hadn't been completely eliminated to directly devour Zaratul's characteristic!
He wanted to reduce the influence of the Celestial Worthy in him!
…
While the corpse cathedral was still floating in the sea of lightning, Adam, who was dressed in a simple white robe and had a pale golden beard, suddenly appeared at the edge of the sea in the ruins of the battle of the gods.
The sea parted, revealing a path that led straight to the place that was stained with the blood of the ancient Sun God. It led straight to the projection of the Giant King's Court, straight to the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
Deep in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, at the peak of a particular mountain, a gigantic cross stood erect. A faintly discernible figure hung upside down.
