Looking at the Half-Fool on the huge stone chair, Klein's mind flashed with the scenes related to the Nation of the Evernight, and he felt a little emotional.
He didn't know much about Antigonus. He had even nearly lost control because of the ravings of "Hornacis … Flegrea …" Therefore, he couldn't be said to feel any sympathy, but he could empathize with him.
The lingering dream was undoubtedly one of the best memories of the past.
Even though Antigonus was born as an extraordinary species, he seemed to miss the peaceful and sealed-off country of the past.
Klein slowly exhaled and moved his gaze away from the man with a thick black beard to the side of the huge stone chair.
A book made of thin brass was placed there quietly, with three lines of rules written in aqua silver text constantly appearing on it.
0-02. Tren Sostel Brass Book.
He used an ability similar to "Grafting" to complete the seal? Yes, it seems to have gone one step further. Not only did he directly connect the beginning to the ending rule, but he also fooled the intelligence of the Tren Sostel Brass Book, making it ignore the middle part that had been skipped. It didn't attempt to make any changes, and it repeated it again and again … Klein glanced at 0-02 and muttered to himself in thought.
This made him have a guess as to what powers The Fool had.
Without thinking too much about it, Klein got the Attendant of Mysteries marionette to "Graft" the starting point and ending point together. He walked to the side of the huge stone chair and picked up the Tren Sostel Brass Book.
On the one hand, he was eliminating any possible interference, and on the other hand, he was probing Antigonus's current condition.
Seeing that The Half-Fool was still sleeping, unable to escape his eternal slumber, Klein heaved a sigh of relief. He got his marionette to take the Tren Sostel Brass Book and retreat to the entrance of the palace, where he waited.
The reason why he didn't let his avatar take the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact was that he was worried that the Telun Sostel Brass Book, which had a certain connection with the sefirah, would display a passive negative influence at the critical moment when he was accommodating The Fool's Uniqueness, causing the situation to rapidly deteriorate.
In terms of avoiding the negative effects of Sealed Artifacts, marionettes were definitely better than avatars.
This was also the reason why Klein didn't bring the Staff of the Stars. He couldn't keep a ticking bomb by his side.
It was fine usually. He could rely on his level, level, and abilities to forcefully suppress the Staff of the Stars, but in the process of accommodating The Fool's Uniqueness, he would be extremely weak. He wouldn't be able to interfere with the people and matters around him. Any slight accident could cause him to lose control on the spot.
In order to deal with the situation of Sefirah Castle being sealed and being unable to borrow any power, Klein had no choice but to bring along a Sealed Artifact that could provide "Teleportation." Therefore, he chose Creeping Hunger.
At this moment, facing a King of Angels who controlled a Uniqueness, Klein felt the human-skinned glove on his left palm instinctively tremble.
He then used his right hand to caress Creeping Hunger and whispered in a joking tone, "Don't worry.
"Don't worry. You're just a Historical Void projection."
After using this method to resolve the excessive tension in his mind, Klein looked around and confirmed that there was nothing else he needed to deal with.
Right on the heels of that, he pressed his hand to his chest and solemnly bowed at Antigonus.
When he straightened his body and raised his head, a complicated, mysterious, and illusory mark appeared between his brows.
This mark was like a strange door of light that was tainted with bluish-black colors. It constantly emitted a thin grayish-white fog.
In the next second, he reached out his right hand, and from a distance that wasn't considered far, he "contained" Antigonus's body between his fingers.
His fingers quickly closed, and with a twist of his wrist, he completed the "theft."
He didn't obtain anything.
This attempt had failed.
Klein wasn't depressed at all. He once again began to steal Antigonus's identity, fate, and self-awareness.
Although he was already a King of Angels among Kings of Angels, his thieving abilities came from Sefirah Castle. He was currently only at the Sequence 1 level. As for Antigonus, he had been corrupted by the Lord of the Mysteries and was a King of Angels that contained a Uniqueness. There was still a clear difference between the two.
Therefore, even though Antigonus had entered a temporary state of eternal slumber and was unable to resist, Klein failed many times.
He wasn't nervous or disappointed in such a situation. This was because this was something he had expected. After all, as long as the "theft" wasn't completed, the Evernight Goddess wouldn't remove the concealment, allowing the fate here to be connected to the real world. There wouldn't be any external interference, so Klein had plenty of time and a stable environment to make the attempt.
After countless failures, Klein suddenly had a flash of inspiration as he foresaw something.
He reached out his right hand again, closed his fingers, and gently twisted them.
Suddenly, he felt something invisible leave Antigonus's body and float towards him.
At the same time, an indescribable river of light that branched out into countless tributaries appeared in front of him.
The illusory river kept flowing forward, drowning one tributary after another, allowing them to return to the main trunk.
This was the symbol of fate. It had many different forms, such as the slowly spinning wheel and the giant serpent with its head and tail connected. At this moment, when fate changed, what Klein saw was the river of light.
In the next second, fragmented scenes surfaced in Klein's mind.
A demonic wolf with eight legs that had just been born was lying on a hill. "He" had transparent and twisted maggots swimming in and out of the thick black short fur on its body. "He" was the youngest son of the ancient god, Flegrea, a natural Mythical Creature. At that moment, "He" was looking at his sister, elder brother, and some of his kinsmen who were playing in the pile of corpses. "He" felt contempt for the simple and crude way they dealt with their prey. "He" believed that hanging the prey up and slowly enjoying them was in line with "His" status.
This demonic wolf, who could be called a subsidiary god, was most afraid of "His" father, that powerful, terrifying, and crazy ancient god. Although Flegrea had already instinctively mated and reproduced, producing many offspring and separating out many Beyonder characteristics, it was uncontrollable. There was no way to ensure progress. Therefore, "He" was still crazy, cruel, bloodthirsty, and filled with destructive instincts. "He" had even killed several descendants.
This demonic wolf that could only create miracles and fulfill all kinds of wishes chased after its prey, biting or killing them, enjoying pure joy.
"He" didn't have a deep impression of the subsidiary gods of his father, Flegrea. What "He" remembered most clearly was that "He" hated the God of Wishes, Kotar, even though "He" was also a demonic wolf.
In addition, "He" didn't like the God of the Dead, Salinger. "He" found "Him" gloomy, solitary, and "His" entire body emitted a rotten and disgusting aura. On the other hand, the Goddess of Misfortune, Amanises, had the aesthetics of a demonic wolf and a human. "She" had a gentle personality and was very good at placating the mind. "She" wasn't that annoying to the wolf. However, this female subsidiary god rarely appeared. "She" was always like a shadow, hiding in places that weren't easily discovered. Of course, the demonic wolf remembered that several of "His" sisters and brothers had ostracized Amanises and wanted to snatch "Her" position.
The demonic wolf had witnessed the fall of his father, the powerful ancient god. He saw the ancient god's blood splatter all over the Goddess of Misfortune, Amanises's body. And in that chaotic situation, a Uniqueness and a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic were attracted and fell into "Her" hands.
"She" and one of "His" sisters escaped the kingdom where the demonic wolves lived and hid everywhere.
Without "Their" father's protection, this demonic wolf and "His" sister realized that their wanton lives weren't normal. Pain and danger were the themes that ran through everything. Finally, "They" crossed the sea and came to the Northern Continent, establishing a secret kingdom in the uninhabited Hornacis mountain range.
"He" and "His" sister didn't dare to expose themselves. All "They" could do was gather believers in small numbers and gather the population. Under such circumstances, "He" invented the City of the Dead that coexisted with the Kingdom of the Living. "He" made the dead believers become "His" marionettes to complete the advancement ritual.
Although this period of time was filled with worries, it was the best time in the demonic wolf's memories. Seeing his sister's believers increase and his marionette town improve, "He" seemed to forget the chaos and danger of the outside world. "He" obtained the first peace since "He" was born.
Due to the influence of the believers' knowledge, "He" and "His" sister gradually gained some so-called humanity.
After the Cataclysm, "He" finally advanced to become an Attendant of Mysteries and turned "Himself" into a human. With Antigonus's surname, "He" left the Hornacis mountain range and returned to the real World outside the secret kingdom.
From that moment forth, Antigonus's memories and knowledge became increasingly fragmented and fragmented. Many times, "He" found "Himself" a little unfamiliar.
After "He" accommodated The Fool's Uniqueness, this situation became more serious …
As scenes flashed, Klein quickly came to a realization:
I'm Antigonus, I'm The Half-Fool!
Suddenly, his body changed repeatedly. At times, he had black hair, brown eyes, and a scholarly air, fusing with Zhou Mingrui's appearance — Klein Moretti. At other times, he had long white hair and a thick, black beard on his face. At other times, he wore a black cloak, making it impossible to see his face clearly as he constantly extended slippery tentacles to the side.
At that moment, Klein's thoughts were extremely chaotic, and his mental state was completely out of balance.
He could barely maintain a certain level of self-awareness as he tottered under the impact of the two mental storms.
At the same time, he also inherited the fate of Antigonus losing control and going crazy. His body began to collapse bit by bit.
Prayers and praises sounded in his ears. They intertwined, forming an illusory image that joined the chaotic battlefield.
…
Rorsted Archipelago, Bayam, on the bell tower of the Church of The Fool.
A young man wearing a pointed hat and a monocle suddenly appeared here. He stood behind the railing and looked down at the entire city.
Mr. Error, Amon!
In the next second, "He" saw Bayam, the distant New City of Silver, and New Moon City disappear at the same time, as though someone had erased them from the map with an eraser.
"Boring." Upon seeing this scene, Amon smiled and shook "His" head. "He" wasn't disappointed at all.
He only wanted to test if Klein or the Evernight Goddess had fixed a "bug."
After striking the bell, "He" could, to a certain extent, be considered The Fool's Angel of Time. "He" could use this loophole to steal a portion of the other party's anchors.
Such theft was usually of little value, but it was very useful at the critical moment of a ritual.
The sudden decrease in anchors would definitely cause the balance to be broken, causing Klein to lose control on the spot!
Amon retracted his gaze and raised "His" hand to adjust the monocle on "His" right eye.
On the crystal glasses, a light that seemed to come from the starry sky suddenly lit up.
