As Klein turned into The Fool card in front of Amon, the entire room shrank, revealing its original appearance.
It was a slightly corroded iron cigar case that had fused with the aura of Sefirah Castle.
Klein's figure appeared out of thin air. As The Fool's divine kingdom collapsed and the magnificent palace reappeared, he grabbed the container that contained The Fool card and Amon's true body and suddenly closed it.
He didn't have the extravagant hopes of using such an item to seal Amon, who wielded the authority of the Door pathway. He only wanted to buy some time and find an opportunity to throw Amon out of Sefirah Castle to regain the initiative.
But at this moment, Klein, who was wearing a black trench coat, stopped moving.
He took out a crystal monocle from the void with his other hand and moved it towards his right eye.
Behind him, Amon, who was wearing a pointed bonnet and a classic black robe, quickly appeared. His eyes were slightly dark and he laughed maniacally.
"When did you have the illusion that I didn't use an avatar?"
Before "He" could finish "His" sentence, the "Parasitized" Klein's figure rapidly thinned, turning into a crudely cut paper figurine.
Klein was cautious. He similarly didn't use his true body, relying on the paper figurine substitute that had Spirit Body Threads "Grafted" onto it.
He knew very well that in a battle with Amon, he would rather give up the opportunity than make a mistake. Once he made a mistake, it would be difficult to reverse the situation under the suppression of a "bug."
Amon didn't seem to be an exception to the situation of his prey turning into a paper figurine. He only raised "His" hand and gently touched the crystal monocle.
On the other end of the magnificent palace, Klein, who was wearing a top hat and trench coat, walked out of the concealment that came with The Fool.
He raised his right hand heavily and took out a crystal monocle from the void with great difficulty. Bit by bit, he moved it towards his right eye.
During this process, Klein's expression was filled with resistance. It was rather distorted, as though he couldn't control his hand.
Amon smiled in a half-crazy, half-uncontrollable, half-leisurely manner.
"You can use a paper figurine to replace yourself, and a paper figurine can also replace you.
"It being Parasitized is equivalent to you being Parasitized.
"Everything is relative, and there are loopholes. There is no Beyonder power that can't be cracked. It can be used in any situation."
"He" used the connection between the Paper Figurine Substitutes and "He" took the initiative to create a "bug."
Although Amon appeared to be unable to control his desire to speak due to his half-crazed state, this did not affect "Him" from fully corrupting Klein and strengthening "Parasitism" bit by bit, allowing "Him" to truly wear a monocle and become "Him."
At this moment, Klein's body suddenly collapsed, voluntarily collapsing.
He split into countless transparent and twisted worms, swimming in all directions.
Among these Worms of Spirit, there were a few Worms of Time with twelve rings mixed in.
Strictly speaking, even tiny creatures like the Worms of Spirit could be forcefully "Parasitized" by Amon's Worms of Time. However, when Klein was splitting, he had taken the initiative to use the authority of "Fooling" to mix up time and "Fooling" the few Worms of Time, making them split at the very end. They didn't keep up with the main group and failed to find a target for "Parasitism."
In the next second, the scene in Sefirah Castle changed again. Klein once again used the Realm of Mysteries to create a new divine kingdom of The Fool.
Amon instantly found himself in a room.
There was a thick, pale yellow carpet, and a crystal chandelier hung from it. There was a door on every wall that led to an unknown place.
At the same time, there were oil paintings depicting various eyes hanging on the four walls.
Without any special examination, Amon only needed a glance to know that the four doors corresponded to different effects. The main purpose was to delay "His" actions and create enough time for subsequent preparations.
The corners of Mr. Error's mouth curled up slightly as "He" cast "His" gaze to his feet.
"He" then extended "His" right fist and spread "His" fingers.
An illusory door immediately appeared on the thick, pale yellow carpet.
The door quickly swam for a second before fixing itself and silently opening.
However, with the opening of the illusory door, the doors around the room strangely formed a connection as they creaked and opened!
Almost at the same time, in the pitch-black wilderness, in a shadowy tower that seemed to lead to the sky, Klein was holding the Magic Wishing Lamp and removing the "Fooling" effect of the Tren Sostel Brass Book.
The wick of the Magic Wishing Lamp lit up, spewing out a viscous, pale golden light.
This light then formed a distorted and blurry figure.
Klein didn't consider making a wish to the Genie and transferring the number of wishes Bernadette carried to him, as well as changing the ownership of the Magic Wishing Lamp. This was because there was only one outcome — he would die on the spot and rely on the powers of a Miracle Invoker to return from the fog of history.
Normally speaking, this was a good way to escape, especially since Klein could revive several times.
However, the situation this time was completely different from before.
Once Klein died, it would be equivalent to him temporarily giving up his identity as the owner of Sefirah Castle, making this place a paradise for the Amons, allowing "Them" to use the sefirah without any obstruction.
Under such circumstances, Amon could "Fool" history, interfere with fate, and suppress Klein's revival, making him truly die.
The thing that could restrain a Beyonder the most was definitely a Beyonder of the same pathway that was at a higher level than him.
Therefore, Klein's current plan was to use the Genie's status to make better use of the Tren Sostel Brass Book.
If it wasn't for the Genie's influence, the rules set by the Tren Sostel Brass Book definitely wouldn't be biased towards Klein. It would only indiscriminately restrict all existences apart from himself.
As the Genie's blurry golden figure took form, the Tren Sostel Brass Book quickly flipped to the second half of the book that could be written with the sound of metal clashing.
Without any pause, a new text appeared on the brass page:
"Theft is prohibited here!"
According to Klein's thoughts, the most suitable clause should be "theft is prohibited here." This was because the former clause was of a legal nature. If anyone were to steal, it couldn't be stopped in advance. It would only be punished after the matter was over. Furthermore, the first punishment for theft was definitely light, something that the Amons could completely bear. As for the latter clause, it directly restricted the occurrence of such acts, making it impossible for theft to occur.
However, the Tren Sostel Brass Book couldn't make such a rule at the moment. It had to wait for the clauses to be sufficiently strict and for it to awaken to a certain extent before it could do so.
Previously, the Genie had relied on his close relationship with the Tren Sostel Brass Book to forcefully complete such a rule by relying on "His" high level. At that moment, "He" was already dispirited and unable to do such a thing.
Klein could only hope to stall for as much time as possible so that the Tren Sostel Brass Book could formulate sufficiently strict rules to deal with Amon so as to match "His" authority of "Fooling."
At that moment, in the room that trapped Amon.
As the illusory door on the ground opened, the surrounding real doors shook at the same time as cracks appeared.
This would bring about many unknown effects.
Suddenly, the sound of a bell that seemed to come from infinity sounded.
At some point in time, Amon had transformed into an ancient mottled stone wall clock. On the wall clock, the second hand formed by the Worm of Time suddenly paused.
Gong!
As the bell reverberated, everything in the room fell into a strange state, including the four doors.
The only exception was Amon. "He" had transformed back into "He" who was wearing a pointed hat and a classic black robe. With a smile, "He" calmly raised "His" left hand and clenched "His" five fingers.
In the next second, the strange stillness was broken. The four real doors that were about to open closed with a bang, not leaving a single gap.
Amon's figure descended and burrowed into the illusory door on the ground that wasn't closed.
Just as "He" left the room using this method, "He" discovered that "He" had arrived in a pitch-black wilderness. In the distance, there was a shadowy tower that seemed to pierce into the sky.
Inside the tower, the Tren Sostel Brass Book in front of Klein had already formed a second rule:
"Fraud is prohibited here!"
Although Amon couldn't see this scene, "He" seemed to sense something. After all, a high-ranking person who took pleasure in deceiving the rules would undoubtedly be able to sense the changes in the rules. Otherwise, "He" wouldn't have been able to accurately find a loophole.
"He" immediately raised "His" hand and adjusted the monocle clipped to "His" right eye socket.
On the surface of the crystal monocle, a pure white brilliance spewed out, illuminating the entire wilderness, making it impossible for any secrets to exist.
This was the "Eternal Day" that "He" had previously given to Klein and then retrieved from Klein's "main body"!
In such an environment, the shadowy tower melted inch by inch. Klein floated in midair, holding the Magic Wishing Lamp in one hand and the Staff of the Stars in the other. In front of him was the open Tren Sostel Brass Book.
Amon took the opportunity to stretch out "His" right hand that had previously been holding the monocle, and from a distance, "He" grabbed Klein's "projection" in his palm.
Behind him, the shadow that was dragged out by the "Eternal Day" environment became fainter and fainter as it distorted as though it had a life of its own.
Silently, Amon began to "Steal" the various Beyonder powers of Klein.
"He" didn't deliberately seek the authority of "Fooling," but chose to do it randomly. This could effectively increase the success rate.
However, after a flash of light, what fell into "His" palm was only a simple paper figurine.
"Graft"!
Pa!
The shadow behind Amon was lashed by an invisible whip, but "His" body was unharmed.
"He" created an error and replaced "Himself" with a shadow.
Right on the heels of that, Amon laughed as his voice echoed in Klein's ears.
"Genie, I can also promise to send you back to the cosmos.
"Look, I wasn't punished. This means that I'm not cheating."
