After stabilizing the fragile balance between the anchor, the Celestial Worthy's will, and his consciousness, Klein leaned back in his chair and examined the various powers brought about by the Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic.
Among them, there were three main types. They were all grasped by Klein with the help of Sefirah Castle and the curtain, but he didn't know the exact names.
The first was "Regeneration": If an item's material once had a Spirit Body, then an Attendant of Mysteries could use the "Regeneration" ability to summon the corresponding Spirit Body Threads, making the item become its marionette. It would also make the living beings that had established a deep connection with the item naturally turn into marionettes.
To put it simply, an Attendant of Mysteries couldn't make items that didn't originally have Spirit Body Threads produce Spirit Body Threads, but it could allow certain items to have Spirit Body Threads that had long disappeared to regenerate. The former represented steel products, gold coins, and gold pounds. The latter mainly consisted of food like beef and fish. Once humans ate them and became marionettes' food, they would also turn into marionettes. It was as if they had suffered a strong corruption.
The second was "Reorganization," also known as "Tampering": This could reassemble many physical objects or abstract concepts to achieve an unimaginable effect. It was like tampering with definitions, logic, directions, or rules.
The third was "Realm of Mysteries": This was an ability used to create the embryonic form of a divine kingdom. It could bring about a certain concealment effect.
"Reorganization" manifests the authority of the "Transformation" domain. "Realm of Mysteries" focuses on the "Concealment" domain. The two elements of The Fool's symbol are already present … However, "Reorganization" and "Tampering" don't sound nice, and the meaning isn't clear enough. It's still better for me to use "Graft." It's clear at a glance … Klein mumbled inwardly before casting his gaze around.
Now, he had further control over Sefirah Castle. He could directly borrow the powers of the Seer pathway that were close to Sequence 0. He could also use most of the Beyonder powers of the Marauder pathway and Apprentice pathway below Sequence 0. It was similar to Dark Angel Sasrir back then.
Of course, Dark Angel Sasrir could only use the first Blasphemy Slate to indirectly use the powers of Chaos Sea. As for Klein, he was the owner of Sefirah Castle, but he had yet to completely grasp the sefirah. Therefore, his level was higher than Dark Angel Sasrir's.
As for his strength, in theory, he should be stronger, but his strength was affected by too many factors. Klein, who had only stepped onto the path of extraordinary for a few years, could not guarantee that he would be able to defeat the deputy of Heaven, the Left Hand of God.
In short, he could already be considered a King of Angels among Kings of Angels. He was very close to the level of a true god.
After gaining further control of Sefirah Castle, there's almost no difference between me here and the outside world. There won't be a situation where I'm a King of Angels in the outside world, but I'll be a true god when I return to Sefirah Castle … The greatest advantage of this place is that it provides a defensive barrier that even a true god can't break. Yes, it's still impossible to determine if the Outer Deities can do it … Klein slowly exhaled and turned his attention to the current situation.
There were two things he was most worried about:
First, the Primordial Moon, which was also the Mother Goddess of Depravity. Although "She" couldn't use Mr. Door's return to completely descend into the real World, "She" still had some power to invade. Furthermore, "She" had maintained "Her" power for several seconds under the attacks of Evernight, Steam, and the other true gods. It remained to be seen if this would affect the surrounding environment, the corresponding pathways, and certain items.
Second, the Angel of Time, Amon, had already stolen Mr. Door's ritual and become the Marauder pathway's Sequence 0 Error. "He" would be Klein's most direct and powerful enemy.
I wonder if Amon has accommodated Mr. Door's Uniqueness and a Sequence 1 Key of Stars Beyonder characteristic. If "He" has already completed this step, "He" will be the most powerful true god in the real World. Yes, I wonder how "He" compares to the Evernight Goddess. No one knows to what extent the Goddess has accommodated the Uniqueness of the Death pathway and the God of Combat pathway.
Normally speaking, Amon shouldn't be able to accommodate the Uniqueness of the Apprentice pathway in time. Although Mr. Door's return is equivalent to the ritual itself, the most important thing for Amon to do at that time was to replace Mr. Door and let his three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics and the Uniqueness of the Marauder pathway to produce a qualitative change. "He" doesn't have the time or ability to accommodate the Uniqueness of the Apprentice pathway. In addition, such an operation has a high chance of causing the awakening of the Celestial Worthy. Amon wouldn't take such a risk …
In other words, Amon's future focus is to accommodate the Uniqueness of the Apprentice pathway and become a true god of two pathways. Otherwise, under the watch of the other true gods, it would be very difficult for "He" to finish off a King of Angels like me.
Besides, even if "He" did take the risk and succeeded, "He" has already accommodated the Uniqueness of the Apprentice pathway. "He" will have to slowly adapt and stabilize "His" condition. "He" won't be able to deal with me in a short period of time.
I have to make the best use of my time to become The Fool. Only then can I use Sefirah Castle and my own level to resist Amon.
There's not much time left for me … Klein silently gave a self-deprecating remark before leaning forward and tapping the edge of the long mottled table.
He was analyzing the possibility of becoming The Fool in a short period of time.
The digestion of the Attendant of Mysteries potion was relatively simple. By the time Klein could use his anchor and consciousness to suppress the awakening will of the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, preventing "Him" from losing control or becoming another person, he could use Sefirah Castle to create an avatar like Amon. Then, he could use the power of Sefirah Castle to steal the Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic that his main body hadn't digested.
At this stage, Klein would immediately turn this avatar into a marionette to prevent any anomalies from happening.
This way, Klein would be demoted to an Attendant of Mysteries who had completely digested the potion. Furthermore, he would have an Attendant of Mysteries marionette — this would be one of the main ingredients of the potion.
And an Attendant of Mysteries who had digested the potion was qualified to consume The Fool's potion and become a Sequence 0 true god.
This operation wasn't too complicated, but it was easy for problems to arise. Furthermore, a normal Double Sequence 1 King of Angels of the Seer pathway couldn't complete it unless "He" had a Sequence 2 Trojan Horse of Destiny friend of the Marauder pathway who was willing to sacrifice "Himself" to provide help. Of course, a Sequence 1 Worm of Time friend could do it too.
Therefore, to Klein, the most troublesome thing was two other matters: First, how to deal with the Half-Fool of the Antigonus family, and second, how to complete the ritual of fooling time, history, or fate.
With my current level and strength, it's not impossible to finish off the Antigonus family's ancestor. Of course, the prerequisite is to familiarize myself with the corresponding Beyonder powers and the changes in Sefirah Castle … Sigh, I don't have any ideas about The Fool's ritual. Klein raised his hand to pinch the sides of his forehead and cast his gaze at the grayish-white fog below Sefirah Castle.
Between time, history, and fate, he was undoubtedly more familiar with history.
Now, he could use Sefirah Castle to directly affect the fog of history, making the corresponding powers of the Seer pathway stronger or weaker.
This was the embodiment of authority.
Fooling history … Fooling history … Klein tapped the edge of the long mottled table again as all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but he kept rejecting them.
From his point of view, all the methods that could be realized couldn't satisfy the requirement of "fooling history." This was because history would objectively record what had happened. Anything that existed had to be reasonable. And the methods that could satisfy the requirements, such as returning to the past, consuming the potion, and becoming The Fool from history, were impossible. At the very least, Klein currently didn't have the ability to reverse time.
As his gaze moved deeper into the fog of history, Klein suddenly had a feasible idea.
The current true history was like this: The members of the Tarot believed that they were following The Fool who didn't belong to this era — an awakened ancient god or an existence that surpassed the ancient gods. And in fact, Mr. Fool was originally just an ordinary person who was hung above the gray fog. He used all kinds of resources to package himself and improve himself.
Klein's train of thought was inspired by Amon.
Using Sefirah Castle, he could create an avatar and use Sefirah Castle to steal his main body's fate, consciousness, anchors, and the Sequence 1 Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic that belonged to Zaratul.
Thus, the main body's Beyonder characteristic would be formed purely from that "curtain," and the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings would awaken bit by bit.
This way, the Tarot members' understanding was correct: Mr. Fool was a great awakened existence.
And this went against the true history, but it was indeed a fact. It could be considered as completing the requirements of the ritual.
Of course, the premise was that the avatar theft had to happen in Sefirah Castle or some other secret place. Otherwise, it would also be recorded in history, preventing it from achieving the effect of "fooling."
As for how to deal with the awakened Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, or how to kill his main body and make "Him" into a potion, Klein temporarily had no idea.
The outcome of such an attempt is equivalent to suicide. Heh, before being killed by the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth, the avatar's Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic must've been digested. After all, it successfully revived the Lord of the Mysteries … Klein shook his head and threw the idea of only caring about the beginning and not the end to it to the back of his mind.
Since he couldn't think of a solution, he decided to seek advice from an existence who might know what to do.
He had two targets: One was the Snake of Fate, Will Auceptin, and the other was the Evernight Goddess.
The former might have some thoughts on "fooling fate," while the latter probably knew what ritual the Antigonus family's ancestor had used to accommodate The Fool's Uniqueness.
After stabilizing his mental state, Klein left Sefirah Castle and directly "Teleported" to Baekeland.
