Upon hearing Amon's words, Klein's heart sank.
Before this, he wasn't worried that Amon would instigate the Genie to betray him. This was because "He" was a top Swindler. No promise "He" made could be trusted, and the Genie had encountered the former Lord of the Mysteries. "He" was a victim of such matters, so "He" would definitely treat Mr. Error with the most defensive attitude.
This was the result of a lack of credibility.
Sometimes, lying, cheating, and acting shamelessly could indeed increase short-term gains, but in the long run, being honest and trustworthy would yield more.
But now, the Tren Sostel Brass Book had just set the rule that "fraud is prohibited here."
And Amon hadn't been punished after making the promise!
At the same time, Klein and the Genie didn't discover any "loopholes" that the other party had used in this matter.
This strongly proved that Amon's words were true and effective. It came from the bottom of his heart and wasn't a fraud.
The Genie could even rely on "His" level and characteristics to distort this sentence to a certain extent, turning "I can promise" into "I promise," preventing Amon from going back on his word. Once he did, he would suffer damage from the rules of the Great Old Ones.
This made Klein wonder if the rule of "fraud is prohibited here" was secretly made by Amon through the Tren Sostel Brass Book, or if the Genie had done it on purpose, making all existences that could become the Lord of the Mysteries promise to send "Him" back to the cosmos.
To the Genie, such a deal was guaranteed to be profitable because Klein owed "Him" a promise.
If it were any other scene, Klein would still have time to communicate with the Genie and rebuild trust. But at that moment, Amon's threat was right in front of him. He wouldn't have the chance to resolve this problem.
If he chose to continue believing in the Genie, it would be equivalent to Klein placing his life in the hands of this Outer Deity, allowing him to be at "His" mercy. In the following battle, the Genie just needed to use the Tren Sostel Brass Book to set some rules that seemed fine but were actually biased towards Amon. Klein, who was already at a huge disadvantage, would quickly be defeated, unable to reverse the situation.
As his thoughts raced, Klein made a choice in this gamble.
A translucent, dark-colored cloak instantly appeared around him, and a strange, distorted mask covered his face.
The Fool!
Invisible ripples spread out from his body, instantly enveloping the Genie, the Tren Sostel Brass Book, the entire wilderness, and Amon.
The authority of Blind Stupidity!
The monocle on Amon's true body temporarily lost its luster, as though "He" had lost "Him." It was as though "He" had "Him" lose.
The speed at which the Trunsoest Brass Book wrote the new rules had clearly slowed down, as though it needed fifteen minutes or even a few hours to think of what rules to set next.
The blurry and distorted golden figure of the Genie swayed and suddenly retreated back into the kettle-like golden magic lamp. It was unknown if it was escaping from something or if it was purely an instinctive reaction.
"God" "Klein" took "Klein" to "Le as" While "as" about "Himself" and "About" Is., ""
"s" About, "" just "", "Just", "," "" "Had" "" "Klein" "s" Shen "Seting" He "" "" — "He" — "
Even though "His" intelligence had temporarily dropped, Amon seemed to remember to stop Klein from leaving Sefirah Castle.
"His" eyes quickly regained their clarity, but "His" eyes were still a little black. "His" mouth widened bit by bit as "He" couldn't help but laugh.
"I've 'written' this matter into my instincts. This is a good way to resist the effects of Blind Stupidity."
Clearly, "He" had deceived the rules and "Himself," making "His" instincts believe that it was what "He" wanted to do.
Klein wasn't depressed as he immediately completed the "Grafting" that he had long prepared.
In the starry sky, a huge star that emitted light and heat suddenly dimmed a little.
In the wilderness under the effect of "Eternal Daytime," an orange-red Sun with a destructive aura and a heavy feeling descended from the sky.
The entire wilderness collapsed and curled up, as though it was about to head straight for the star.
At the same time, everything in the area was ignited, including Amon.
In the next second, the surrounding void began to contract around the real Sun. Everything either collapsed or vaporized, leaving only the Magic Wishing Lamp and the Tren Sostel Brass Book struggling to hold on in the flames without being damaged.
Klein, who was floating in midair, had long disappeared.
He had "Grafted" himself with the star.
Of course, he had only "Grafted" the concept of a star, not a physical body. Otherwise, with The Fool's defense that was significantly lower than most Sequence 0's, with his relatively weak body, he would've been directly "Devoured" by the real star and died on the spot.
The Fool was a very extreme deity. He had the ability to destroy a star, but he couldn't face it directly. The advantages and disadvantages were equally obvious.
In addition, normally speaking, concepts were unable to directly affect the surrounding environment or harm enemies. It wasn't as if writing words like "massive mass, gravitational force, high temperature, high heat, and fusion" could create a similar effect. However, as Mr. Fool, Klein wielded the authority of "Fooling."
He made the surrounding environment follow the concept of the star and produce a corresponding change!
This was both an intense "change" and a form of "Fooling."
Under the close illumination of the star, Amon's pointy hat and classic black robe was completely ignited and began to vaporize.
At this moment, his figure distorted and was instantly dyed with resplendent starlight. He became extremely illusory, as though he had transformed into an astral door.
At this moment, Amon no longer looked like a corporeal creature. He was closer to an amalgamation of symbols like "Wandering," "Astral passageway," "Key," and "Door."
This was the ability of a Planeswalker to use the astral world to travel to different planets and Worlds. "They" could transform "Themselves" into a symbol and effectively use the astral world.
At the Sequence 0 stage of Door, a similar ability would undergo a qualitative change to "Conceptualization."
Amon had turned himself into a Concept Creature to avoid the damage brought by the star.
Behind "Him," a figure suddenly appeared. It was none other than Klein in his trench coat and top hat.
Almost at the same time, Amon's thoughts slowed down a little.
"His" Spirit Body Threads had been grabbed by Klein.
Klein used the chaos brought about by the star to remove the "combination" of himself and the related concepts. He secretly "Grafted" their locations and arrived behind Amon.
Originally, without the "reorganization" of the concept, the effects of the star on the surrounding environment would immediately stop. However, Klein had "Fooled" time, causing the effects from the first two seconds to last until now, thereby fooling Amon.
If it was possible, what Klein wished to do the most was to deepen his control over Amon's Spirit Body Threads and turn "Him" into his marionette. However, he knew very well that under the present circumstances, the chances of success were extremely low. On the one hand, Amon could withstand the damage and steal the Spirit Body Threads back. On the other hand, "He" might be able to use the connection established through the Spirit Body Threads to create a "bug" that would affect Klein and "Parasitize" him.
Without absolute confidence, Klein didn't wish for his actions to appear rash.
The main goal of grabbing Amon's Spirit Body Threads was to make "Him" sluggish.
This was the manifestation of the "Fooling" authority at the marionette stage. And in Klein's present state, he was naturally more willing to choose such a low-level but effective method. This placed a lesser burden on him, and it wouldn't seriously affect his mental stability like directly using the "Fooling" authority.
At this moment, other than Amon, his enemy was the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings in his body.
Of course, it was the same for Amon. If "He" didn't suppress "His" madness, the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth would have already revived in "His" body.
After causing Amon's thoughts to temporarily slow down, Klein had three choices.
First, he could take this opportunity to leave Sefirah Castle, but he wasn't sure if Amon's instincts were still working and preventing him from escaping.
Second, he could summon the projection from the Historical Void, but this wasn't of much use. Existences at the level of an angel could play a very small role in this battle of gods. They might not even be able to block Amon's gaze, much less "Their" historical projections. Even if Klein wanted to use this opportunity to send a message, it lacked sufficient value. This was because other deities couldn't enter Sefirah Castle and couldn't provide any help.
Third, he could take this opportunity to exert a certain amount of influence on Amon's true body.
Without any hesitation, Klein chose the third plan.
He wanted to take the opportunity to "graft" Amon and Sefirah Castle with the door of light that was stained with bluish-black colors.
This was because Klein felt that Amon's half-crazy state wasn't bad enough. It was just that he appeared more talkative and couldn't grasp the timing at times. He wanted to make "Him" crazier.
When Amon and Sefirah Castle completed the "Recombination," the Celestial Worthy's will in "His" body would clearly strengthen, and "His" mental chaos would significantly intensify.
In that case, Amon would lack sufficient rationality to restrain "Himself." His actions would be more instinctive and not the result of thought.
To a Mr. Error who was good at deceit, this would be a fatal effect.
Of course, Klein would only maintain this "graft" for a second. If he exceeded this limit, he might not be facing Amon, but the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.
When that happened, the other party would definitely accept the gift of Sefirah Castle. With the sefirah, two Uniquenesses, and the corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic, he would beat up the Sequence 0 Fool of a single pathway.
Originally, Klein could rely on "Fooling" the authority to achieve the effect of lowering Amon's intelligence, but firstly, he couldn't use such power for long periods of time in his current state. Secondly, as a true god of two pathways and the wielder of many authorities, the effect of "Blind Stupidity" could only be maintained on "Him" for a limited amount of time. Therefore, Klein had no choice but to take the risk of using such a "graft."
As for the crazy president, he would accompany Amon until "He" found a new balance or met the best Psychiatrist.
In the blink of an eye, the translucent cold mask appeared on Klein's face again. The strange door of light that was stained with bluish-black colors also appeared on Amon's body.
Sefirah Castle.
