As Amon spoke, Klein appeared to be listening, but in fact, he had already attempted to leave Sefirah Castle.
This wasn't because he wanted to give up or surrender, nor was it because he was too timid. He subconsciously considered dodging, but because he believed that this was the best solution in the current situation.
If he stayed in Sefirah Castle, Klein would face three major problems.
Firstly, he had just advanced to The Fool, and his condition was extremely unstable. He had to divert most of his attention to suppress the awakening will of the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. Secondly, he was unable to obtain the help of his allies, so he could only fight alone. Thirdly, with everyone being able to affect Sefirah Castle, even if Klein wanted to have a higher level of control over the sefirah than Amon, he wouldn't be able to display an overwhelming advantage. It might even be because Amon was good at using loopholes to create "Bugs," making it difficult for "Him" to use Sefirah Castle well and reach the same level as "Him."
This way, even if the Sequence 0 The Fool didn't have a 100% chance of failure against the half-crazy Error and Door dual-pathway true gods, the chances of victory were extremely slim.
And after seizing the opportunity and leaving Sefirah Castle, Klein would immediately obtain the help of his allies to reverse the situation on both sides.
If Amon chased after "Him", Klein would interfere with "His" return to Sefirah Castle, forcing "Him" to face "His" allies. At that time, the Primordial Demoness definitely wouldn't take action again. The ancient Sun God might not be able to reproduce the might of half a Great Old One in a short period of time. The six orthodox gods led by the Evernight Goddess were enough to deal with Amon.
Even if Amon, who had grasped all the authorities in the domains of Error and Door, wasn't easy to kill, the orthodox gods would definitely be able to weaken "Him" and seal "Him." Once Klein stabilized his mental state and deepened his control over Sefirah Castle, they could target "Him" and kill "Him."
Such a process was almost irreversible. Even if the ancient Sun God could still unleash his previous level, level, and strength, there was no way to change it. "His" limit seemed to be to simultaneously suppress three orthodox gods, and this didn't include the Evernight Goddess.
Of course, there was no doubt that the Outer Deities weren't willing to see the birth of a new Lord of the Mysteries. Once such a situation occurred, "They" would definitely do their best to interfere and prevent Amon from dying. However, before the World's barrier collapsed, the influence "They" could exert was rather limited. "They" might not be of much use. Just like before, Klein believed that the combined strength of the Dark Side of the Universe and the Chained God was inferior to that of the Hidden Sage.
Even if the Outer Deities really affected the situation, Klein wouldn't suffer too much of a loss. After all, those existences wouldn't allow Amon to kill him. He could calmly find a place to hide and stabilize his mental state. When he was ready, he could make a new plan. The Evernight Goddess's foggy town was a very good choice.
If Amon didn't chase after them and remained inside Sefirah Castle, Klein could use his identity as Sefirah Castle's owner and his control over the various matters inside to prevent Amon from doing anything in Sefirah Castle. Even if "He" wanted to use the crimson star to deal with the Tarot members, "He" wouldn't be able to do anything.
In short, it would be very difficult for "Them" to make better use of Sefirah Castle, but it was absolutely simple to destroy the other party's attempts.
In such a stalemate, Klein had the time to stabilize his mental state and deepen his control over Sefirah Castle, slowly reversing the situation.
In the end, Amon could either escape or hide, or allow the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings to completely revive and die with Klein.
Therefore, although he didn't have the time to analyze the pros and cons, Klein quickly came to a conclusion.
Leaving Sefirah Castle was the best choice.
However, just as his consciousness sank to the edge of Sefirah Castle, he saw a crystal monocle.
This item appeared in time and destroyed Klein's escape.
"Do you think I'll leave such an obvious loophole? Of course, you can also stop me from leaving Sefirah Castle at any time. "Amon curved his right index finger and smiled as he pressed it against the bottom of the monocle.
Behind the chair "He" was sitting on, the symbols outlined by the resplendent light rapidly changed. At times, they were a mixture of parasitism, time, and fate, and at other times, they were layers of "doors."
These two different symbols alternated, making it impossible for "Him" to truly be fixed.
Klein didn't listen to what Amon said. As soon as his escape failed, he created the true Realm of Mysteries, the complete divine kingdom of The Fool.
In front of Amon, the light instantly changed, bringing with it the disappearance of the magnificent palace, the long mottled table, and the gorgeous high-back chair, bringing with it the appearance of an ancient castle.
Amon didn't know what the ancient castle looked like. This was because he was standing in a corridor inside the castle. He could only sense the various changes in Sefirah Castle and see a limited scene within his field of vision.
This corridor was abnormally gloomy and dark. There seemed to be no end to both ends. Every very long distance, there would be an elegant silver candlestick. On the candlestick, the light was dim and yellow.
On both sides of the corridor, there were tightly shut dark red wooden doors that seemed to lead to different rooms.
There was no sound in any of the rooms. It was unknown what was hidden in each room.
Amon casually swept a glance and smiled with great interest.
"Interesting."
As the most powerful Cryptologist, "He" naturally knew that this was a divine kingdom, and it was the kind of divine kingdom that couldn't be destroyed with brute force.
This was because every door was "reconstructed" with a different object. It was unknown what effects would be triggered by forcefully breaking it. Amon didn't underestimate the abilities and intelligence of a Sequence 0 Fool. He didn't plan on experiencing too many surprises and accidents.
However, when the rules of the divine kingdom were fixed, the owner of the divine kingdom would also be restricted to a certain extent.
To put it simply, Klein was definitely in one of the rooms. It couldn't be anywhere else.
After obtaining benefits, he had to bear the corresponding responsibility.
"He wants to use this method to stall for time and stabilize his mental state?" Amon whispered to someone.
Then, wearing a pointed hat and a classic black robe, "He" walked to the nearest dark red wooden door.
There were no holes on the wooden door, preventing anyone from seeing the exact situation inside.
In other words, without opening the door, it was very difficult for Amon to know if Klein was here.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Amon stretched out his right hand and drew a vertical rectangle on the dark red wooden door.
Inside the rectangle, specks of starlight emitted before turning transparent, revealing the scene in the room.
Amon relied on the authority of Door and the powers of a bug to forcefully open a window on the door without triggering the effects.
Following that, "He" cast "His" gaze inside the room.
There were no tables, chairs, carpets, or other furniture inside. Instead, there was a blue sea.
"Sure enough, this door has been combined with the sea outside." Amon smiled, not surprised at all.
Once "He" twisted the door, "He" would directly leave Sefirah Castle and appear in the sea.
And at that time, with Klein being on guard, it would be almost impossible for "Him" to enter Sefirah Castle again. It was just like how Klein couldn't leave Sefirah Castle now.
This was the reason why Amon didn't forcefully destroy The Fool's divine kingdom. Instead, he opened the door one by one.
Destruction would result in similar, repetitive effects that would affect Amon over and over again. No matter how many loopholes there were to be used, "He" couldn't be completely immune.
Retracting his gaze, Amon walked to the room opposite him and opened a window on the door according to the method he had just used.
However, this time, it was pitch-black inside. He couldn't see anything.
Amon raised "His" hand and pinched the edges of the monocle before coughing softly.
"His" figure immediately split into two.
The number of Amon increased.
The Amon that had been separated looked at Amon, who was standing at his original spot, and clicked his tongue.
"Why don't you seek excitement yourself?"
As "He" spoke, "Amon" reached out "His" right palm and grabbed the handle of the dark red wooden door.
Just as "He" moved, "His" expression suddenly turned blank. "He" sat straight down as though "He" had lost the ability to think.
"Fooling effect." Amon, who was standing on the spot, nodded slightly.
The already foolish Amon immediately collapsed, turning into a twelve-ringed transparent worm.
Bit by bit, Beyonder characteristics seeped out and returned to Amon's body.
"He" relied on the loopholes to avoid the negative effects of "His" avatar on "His" true body.
When all the Beyonder characteristics returned, Amon released a ball of flames that he had stolen and burned the Worm of Time's corpse.
After slowly doing this, "He" raised "His" head and adjusted the monocle on "His" right eye.
On the crystal monocle, countless symbols, patterns, and labels appeared. They quickly swam, intertwined, reorganized, or changed, as though "He" was calculating something.
This was the combination of a Cryptologist's decryption ability and the Key of Stars' locator authority.
Amon's two attempts were mainly to gather information and grasp the rules in preparation for cracking the secrets of The Fool's divine kingdom.
Soon, the symbols, patterns, and labels formed a scene on the monocle:
Behind a dark red wooden door, Klein, who had a few slippery tentacles extending out from his body, sat on a high-back chair, calmly watching the entrance.
The corners of Amon's mouth curled up. With a flash, "He" appeared in the room.
However, everything in front of "Him" suddenly collapsed.
The Klein with The Fool's aura quickly thinned and turned into a card.
On the card, Rosell Gustav wore a gorgeous headdress and colorful clothes. He carried a cane and luggage, his eyes filled with longing.
The Fool card.
The Fool card from the Card of Blasphemy.
Klein knew that it was impossible to deceive a top Swindler like Amon just by relying on Paper Figurine Substitutes, even with the "Fooling" effect and the "Grafting" of "His" true aura. Therefore, he used The Fool card, which had the corresponding aggregation ability, as a paper figurine.
Although Sefirah Castle couldn't be used again, this was Klein's home turf after all. There was his junk pile, the various items he had gathered, and the newly obtained Tren Sostel Brass Book and the borrowed Magic Wishing Lamp.
