Bayam, inside the Sea God Church.
After the Mass, Alger Wilson had just returned to his room when he saw a figure appear by the window.
It was the German Sparrow in a top hat and trench coat.
Without waiting for Alger to speak, Klein took two steps forward and said solemnly,
"I'm here on Mr. Fool's orders."
He habitually played the role of Attendant of Mysteries.
Alger immediately lowered his head and pressed his right hand to his left chest.
"Praise be to Mr. Fool."
Klein nodded slightly and raised his hand to take out an item from the junk pile in Sefirah Castle.
Alger's eyes reflected a short staff made of white bones.
The tip of the staff was inlaid with tiny blue gems, a few of which were dyed black, and a few of which were covered with the light of dawn. Around the staff, there were countless pure light spots. Illusory and ethereal prayers came from it, stacking on top of each other, making it look holy.
Alger's pupils suddenly dilated, and he couldn't help but reveal some greed.
As a Sequence 4 demigod of the Sailor pathway, he was extremely certain that the white bone scepter in front of him was the symbol of Sea God's identity, status, and power.
As he endured the slight dizziness brought about by the prayers, he cast his gaze at The World, German Sparrow, and waited for the servant of the deity to speak.
Klein raised the Sea God Scepter with one hand and said with a solemn expression,
"This is a gift and trust from Mr. Fool. It's also a reward for protecting a large number of believers.
"No matter what happens in the future, I hope that you will always obey Mr. Fool's instructions and do your best to complete the mission 'He' has given 'you."
"…" Alger acutely picked up on the hidden meaning.
He suspected that Mr. Fool would encounter something in the future, causing him to be injured and hit rock bottom.
Thinking that he had already left the Church of the Storm and had no way out, Alger pressed his left chest with his right hand and replied loudly,
"I will only follow Mr. Fool!"
Upon seeing this, Klein nodded inwardly before repeating what he had said to Miss Justice and Miss Judgment.
This made Alger heave a sigh of relief. After all, knowing what might happen in the future was better than not knowing anything.
Without hesitation, he repeated what he had just said in an unusually solemn manner.
Klein then handed the Sea God Scepter to him.
"Get used to this Sealed Artifact and Sea God's daily routine. Once you're done digesting the Cataclysmic Interrer potion, you can use it to concoct the potion. Acting in advance can greatly reduce the difficulty of advancement. "
In fact, Klein could already remove the "grafting" and transfer the concept of the Sea God that pointed to himself and Sefirah Castle to Alger, allowing him to directly become half a Sea God. It would allow him to better adapt to this identity and act in advance.
However, considering that after accommodating The Fool's Uniqueness, he needed enough anchors to balance the Celestial Worthy's further awakening. The believers of Sea God were indispensable, so Klein decided to wait until his condition stabilized before completely transferring everything related to Sea God.
Now, Alger was closer to an attendant who wielded authority. He helped the deity listen to and respond to prayers, but he didn't enjoy the corresponding anchors or identity. The "owner" of the Sea God Scepter was still Klein, and it was still pointed at him. This was the magical effect of "grafting."
Alger suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart and sincerely responded to German Sparrow before receiving the Sea God Scepter.
Then, he deliberated and asked,
"What negative effects does this Sealed Artifact have?"
"Mr. Fool has already sealed it to a certain extent. The negative effects of the Sea God Scepter have been greatly reduced," Klein said simply. "It will only make the wielder a little more irritable now, causing the spirit to be in a certain state of chaos. In addition, it will drain the blood of the surrounding creatures every month. You can fly to the sea or an uninhabited island ahead of time."
Thankfully … Alger secretly heaved a sigh of relief and asked about the Beyonder powers of the scepter in his hand.
After Klein roughly described it, he vanished from where he stood.
…
Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace.
After completing the additional preparations, Klein sat on The Fool's chair and conjured a piece of goatskin and a dark red fountain pen. He analyzed the possible developments of heading to the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range and facing the Antigonus family's ancestor.
If everything goes smoothly and enters the final stage of accommodating The Fool's Uniqueness, the Goddess will definitely remove the concealment. This is because only by doing so can that region interact with reality. Only then can fate be intertwined and achieve the effect of fooling others.
From Mr. Door's apotheosis ritual, accommodating the Uniqueness will definitely cause quite a stir. Once there's no concealment, this matter will definitely be noticed by the other deities. Furthermore, the existences who are concerned about this matter will definitely be paying attention to the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range. Once there are any changes, "They" will know immediately.
In such a situation, there will undoubtedly be interference, destruction, help, and support. It's very important to figure out who is an enemy and who is a friend. Otherwise, there's no way to make targeted preparations.
The Goddess is definitely on my side. If "She" were an enemy, I would've long been concealed countless times. It's impossible for "Her" to grow to this level. To put it simply, if "She" wanted to sell me, there were many opportunities in the past. Furthermore, "She" can sell me for a very good price. Furthermore, to "Her" support of whoever becomes the Lord of the Mysteries won't affect "Her." "She" can decide based on "Her" preferences. Adam has yet to bypass the seal and obtain the River of Eternal Darkness.
The ones who don't wish for Amon to become the Lord of the Mysteries the most are the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Once anyone attempts to destroy my ritual to accommodate The Fool's Uniqueness, "They" will undoubtedly help me and provide assistance.
Apart from these four true deities, the remaining Sequence 0's are:
Visionary Adam and the True Creator are Amon's fathers, so the chances of "Them" helping "Him" are definitely higher than just watching from the sidelines. Earth Mother has bet on me through Emlyn, but "She" won't definitely help me at critical moments. To "Her", patiently waiting for the outcome might be the best choice when there are no benefits involved. The Primordial Demoness's state is strange, so "She" can make any choice. The God of Steam and Machinery's attitude is ambiguous. "She" is neutral or making a private deal with Amon and Adam. I don't have the chips to move "Him."
Apart from these true deities, among the less common Sequence 0's or near-Sequence 0's sentient existences:
The Lord of the Abyss, which is also the Dark Side of the Universe, is suspected to have been corrupted by the Mother Tree of Desire. "He" will only occasionally respond to the prayers of the Blood Sanctification Sect. "He" hasn't exerted any influence on the real World for a long time. Similarly, the Chained God is in a similar situation.
What "They" will do depends on the Mother Tree of Desire's thoughts. And to the Outer Deities, delaying the birth of the Lord of the Mysteries should be a consensus. Under such a premise, preventing me from accommodating The Fool's Uniqueness will only cause me to be at an absolute disadvantage in the competition with Amon, allowing the outcome of the competition to be quickly decided.
The Mother Tree of Desire's most likely strategy is to acquiesce or even help me accommodate The Fool's Uniqueness, preventing the balance between Amon and me from tilting. After that, "She" will repeatedly destroy our inclination and attempts to converge, delaying the birth of the Lord of the Mysteries until the apocalypse.
The Red Angel evil spirit definitely hasn't recovered to the level where "He" can get involved in such matters. The Hidden Sage is very mysterious, and it's difficult to guess "His" thoughts, but "He" should know that I'm hostile towards "Him" …
At this point in the analysis, Klein summarized:
"Allies: Evernight Goddess, Lord of Storms, Eternal Blazing Sun, God of Knowledge and Wisdom;
"Enemies: Visionary Adam, True Creator, Mr. Error, Amon;
"The neutral ones who are on my side are Mother Earth, the Dark Side of the Universe, and the Chained God.
"Neutral to Amon's side: Hidden Sage;
"Neutral with a vague attitude: Primordial Demoness, God of Steam and Machinery."
Yes, regardless of how far Adam and the True Creator have fused, I'll use the worst-case scenario. I'll treat "Them" as the ancient god of the Sun, a Sequence 0 true god of dual pathways … The Goddess has the Uniqueness of a Twilight Giant and Death. Although "She" hasn't accommodated "Them," "She" should be able to gain initial control over "Him" by using that golden bird-shaped accessory as a medium. Even if "She" isn't comparable to the ancient god of the Sun, "She" will definitely be able to hold "Him" back …
According to Amon's calculations as a Sequence 0 true god of dual pathways, the Lord of Storms needs at least two out of the three of "Them" to have a chance of stopping "Him" … On the surface, my side still has a certain advantage … Klein looked at the contents listed on the paper and muttered to himself as he focused on thinking.
However, this advantage didn't include neutrals.
Klein tapped the edge of the long mottled table and considered the worst-case scenario.
The Primordial Demoness, Hidden Sage, and the God of Steam and Machinery had chosen to help Amon based on their dealings under the table or their own preferences.
This way, even if Earth Mother were to participate in the battle, Klein's side would be at a disadvantage. The God of Steam and Machinery would offset the remaining one of the omniscient and omnipotent five pathways. The Primordial Demoness would hold back Earth Mother, who had just obtained the Moon's Uniqueness. The Hidden Sage would face the Dark Side of the Universe and the Chained God, which had been corrupted by the Mother Tree of Desire. The Outer Deities' powers that could infiltrate were very limited, so the Hidden Sage had a high chance of gaining the upper hand.
Furthermore, such an offset was an ideal calculation. In reality, in such a chaotic situation, Amon, who wielded "Error," could come up with many tricks. It was possible for him to instantly find a weak spot and bypass the obstruction, causing Klein's ritual to fail and cause him to lose control on the spot. In addition, some of the deities who supported Klein on the surface might help Amon for reasons he didn't know.
As for the Sealed Artifacts that could change the difference in strength between deities, Klein didn't know much about them, so he was unable to analyze them.
Heh, I never expected that there would be a day when I would fleece the Mother Tree of Desire. Yes, I have to make preparations for the worst-case scenario to prevent things from developing in this direction. Klein scattered the paper and fountain pen in front of him and cast his gaze at a special prayer point of light.
His figure disappeared from Sefirah Castle and appeared on Bernadette's Dawn.
