Queen Mystic Bernadette seemed to have a certain premonition about German Sparrow's arrival. She put down the ancient scroll in her hand without any surprise and cast her gaze at the visitor at the door.
Klein didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.
"I want to borrow the Magic Wishing Lamp for a day."
Bernadette nodded gently and raised her hand to pick up the Magic Wishing Lamp beside her.
"His" invisible servant then carried the uniquely shaped lamp and brought it to Klein.
Klein reached out to take it and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."
"Thank you."
Bernadette didn't make any requests, as though she wasn't worried that she would accumulate wishes and die a strange death.
She believed that Mr. Fool could resolve this problem, because this existence had shown his abilities in this regard the last time.
In the next second, Klein, who had transformed into German Sparrow, disappeared from the Dawn and returned to Sefirah Castle.
After he placed the Magic Wishing Lamp on the table in front of him, he immediately saw the wick ignite and emit a sticky glow, forming a distorted and blurry pale-gold figure.
"You haven't fulfilled your promise. I won't fulfill your wish according to your wishes," the Genie said in a grand and dignified voice. "You should know that the current wielder of this lamp is Rosell's daughter. The first wish you make will accumulate to her, allowing her to accumulate three wishes and suffer the backlash of transcending the Sequences. And this time, I won't allow you to transfer the number of wishes she carries to yourself."
Previously, when Klein used the Magic Wishing Lamp to escape, he didn't change the ownership of this Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. It still belonged to Bernadette, and its wielder was still Queen Mystic.
Therefore, the wishes he made would accumulate to himself and Bernadette at the same time.
Back then, his first wish was to transfer the two wishes that Bernadette had previously made to his name. This would clear all of Bernadette's wishes, and he would be burdened with two wishes.
But at the same time, this first wish would also accumulate. Therefore, after it was fulfilled, the number of wishes on Bernadette would be 1, and Klein would have 3.
Following that, Klein made a second wish. Without a doubt, it would be recorded on both him and Bernadette.
In the end, Bernadette's wish count was 2, not exceeding the critical point. Klein's reached 4. Without any surprises, he suffered a backlash from the Outer Deity's laws. He died on the spot in Adam's corpse cathedral and successfully escaped.
Under such a premise, any other wish that Klein made would cause Bernadette's wish count to reach three. It was inevitable that she would suffer something terrifying.
Of course, he could also mimic the first wish from the previous time and transfer Bernadette's wish count to himself, using up a chance of "resurrection." However, the Genie had already clearly said that "He" would distort such wishes and make them be fulfilled in a way that Klein didn't wish to see.
Sigh, it's also because I was in a hurry the last time, and Rosell was affected by the Primordial Moon. There were still some loopholes in the wishes we discussed … Back then, I should've added a description to make the first wish only be recorded under my name. Or, I could've added another wish between the first and second wishes to transfer the ownership of the Magic Wishing Lamp to me. After all, after my death, the ownership will definitely be cleared, and the Magic Wishing Lamp will return to its actual owner … As Klein sighed to himself, he smiled at the Genie.
"You shouldn't be unfamiliar with 'tampering' or 'reorganization.'
"With this lamp's level and your current state, I can completely rely on Sefirah Castle to 'graft' its ownership from Bernadette to me. Or, we can use another method and directly use 'Theft.' How about that?"
The blurry, distorted golden figure of the Genie fell silent. After a few seconds, he said, "That's right.
After a few seconds, he said, "Although you aren't as cunning as' Him, 'you're equally shameless.
"However, it's useless. After you accumulate your wishes and die suddenly, the ownership of this lamp will still return to Rosell's daughter. And I will distort the rules and record your wish to 'Her.'
"Also, I just said that before you fulfill your promise, I won't fulfill your wish normally."
Klein maintained his smile.
"I once heard a story, a story about investors:
"When a company is in trouble, the ones who are more willing to provide aid are definitely the original investors. Although they have already paid a lot, if they don't continue to pay, it's very likely that they won't be able to recoup their investment and lose all their capital.
"Of course, if they can use other methods or channels to get back their share, or if they can exchange their capital for greater benefits, that would be another story.
"What type do you think you are?"
The Genie looked at Klein, who was sitting in The Fool's seat, and laughed.
"After gaining further control of Sefirah Castle, you seem to have obtained the eloquence of a Swindler. However, unless you help me remove the seal now, it will be very difficult for me to affect matters at the Sequence 0 level. At most, I'll make you suffer a backlash from the laws that transcend Sequences and die again without any resistance.
"However, this won't be of any help to what you want to do now. This is because death means failure. Furthermore, you should know very well that losing control during the advancement will affect all your avatars. It's not something that can be avoided by severing the connection."
Klein smiled and nodded.
"Indeed, I haven't thought of a wish. I'm just making preparations."
At this point, he looked at the Magic Wishing Lamp.
"Actually, this lamp has another effect that can affect Sequence 0.
"I heard that a true deity once tried to destroy this lamp, but he ultimately failed. That's right. How can a lamp that can seal an Outer Deity be so easily damaged? It definitely has the powers of the Lord of the Mysteries or Sefirah Castle attached to it. "
As he spoke, the smile on Klein's face gradually became more obvious.
"It would be a waste not to use such a sturdy object as a shield."
"…" The Genie fell silent and didn't respond for a long time.
After such a friendly exchange, Klein and the Genie exchanged their opinions and reached a preliminary agreement on the fact that they shared a common destiny.
Then, Klein placed the Magic Wishing Lamp into his pocket, prepared to use it at any time.
After doing all of this, he cast his gaze at the fragment of light related to the Hornacis mountain range in the fog of history.
He was almost done with his preparations. Next, he would create an avatar and steal the undigested Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic from his body. Then, he could face the ancestor of the Antigonus family.
And this could very well trigger a battle of gods.
To be frank, Klein didn't wish for this to happen. This was because there was a high chance that a battle of gods would have a rather negative impact on the real World.
Rose Redemption had prevented the Primordial One from reviving and assassinated the ancient Sun god with the help of Dark Angel Sasrir. It had directly brought about a disaster that affected the entire Eastern Continent. This caused more than 99% of the living beings there to die, turning the terrain into an abyss.
The War of the Four Emperors and the Pale Disaster had nearly destroyed the Northern Continent, causing countless people to die and mutate. It caused mountains to turn into lakes, valleys to change, rivers to change directions, the land to collapse, and the sea to turn violent.
The battle between the Evernight Goddess and the God of Combat had happened in the astral world, in the divine kingdom of the Evernight Goddess. Furthermore, it was rather short, so it had the least impact on the real World. However, before that, the full-scale war that had lasted more than a year had drained the blood and tears of countless people.
If it was possible, Klein was really willing to give up Sefirah Castle and live as a Sequence 1 or even a Sequence 2 angel, allowing things to develop in the most peaceful manner.
However, along the way, there were already many people who had given him kindness, helped him, and believed in him. If Klein were to say that he was giving up now, he would be pushing them into danger. This wasn't kindness, but selfishness.
From ancient times until now, which successful person didn't bear the fate of many people?
If he gave up, what would happen to those people?
The members of the Tarot, the believers of The Fool in the City of Silver and Moon City, Aztec Eggers, Reinette Tinekerr, Will Auceptin … Faces quickly flashed through Klein's mind.
Finally, he let out a long sigh.
If Amon was trustworthy, it wasn't that Klein couldn't "hand over" these matters to "Him." However, this God of Deceit had always been unscrupulous, and all his believers were "Himself."
If Klein were to give up just like that, ignoring his own safety, the people or demigods he had just thought of might be captured by the enemy or put on a monocle in "Their" right eye. Among them, Will Auceptin and The Fool's believers were in the most danger.
Believe in the might of deities, but don't believe in "Their" benevolence!
This was Klein's decision. When facing the Evernight Goddess, he used the Lord of Storms and "Them" as examples to tell "Her" that he wouldn't let "Her" help down. This was the existence that had placed the most bets on him. If Klein were to give up, the Evernight Goddess might have to pay an even greater price to obtain the River of Eternal Darkness. She might even never obtain it. This was because after the two pillars, the Lord of the Mysteries and God, appeared one after another, it meant that the threat of the Outer Deities would be reduced to a minimum. There was no need for additional Great Old Ones to be born.
Phew, after that, I'll use Sefirah Castle to "Graft" the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range to the astral world. This will prevent the battle of gods from causing damage to the real World to the greatest extent. It will also allow the Goddess and the other deities guarding the crack in the barrier to fully unleash their strength. After all, most of my supporters are orthodox deities … Klein's thoughts raced as he came up with a solution.
He then snapped his fingers and used Sefirah Castle to create an avatar and stand by the side.
