Behind the endless shadow curtain, in the darkness that shimmered with aqueous light.
A young man with black hair, black eyes, a wide forehead, and a thin face suddenly sat up as though he had experienced a nightmare.
Dressed in a classic black robe, "He" extended "His" right hand in an attempt to take out a crystal monocle from the void and wear it on "His" right eye.
But this time, "He" didn't obtain anything.
"His" right hand paused in midair for two seconds before "He" retracted it and pinched "His" right eye socket.
At that moment, a gentle, calm, and emotionless voice sounded in "His" ears.
"To him, there are things more important than life.
"To you, apart from yourself, there's almost nothing worth paying too much attention to.
"When things develop to the point where you have to gamble with your life, it means that you have lost."
The corners of Amon's mouth curled up as though he wanted to smile and respond, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
The voice continued:
"As a natural Mythical Creature, your lack of a normal anchor is also a problem.
"This makes it difficult for you to understand although you know what courage and sacrifice are."
Amon's expression changed as "He" stood up from the darkness that shimmered with aqueous light.
"He" looked at the human-skinned glove that had been thrown to the side but seemed very satisfied. "He" retracted "His" gaze and curled up the corners of "His" mouth.
"This seems very interesting.
"Next, I plan on leaving this place and infiltrating the cosmos. It's much more exciting and exciting than reality. Perhaps I can understand the two words you just said."
"That's very dangerous. Once you enter the cosmos, I won't be able to provide any help before I succeed. However, at the very least, you can avoid 'Him,'" the gentle, calm, and emotionless voice replied.
Amon didn't say another word. "He" raised "His" right eye socket and disappeared into the endless shadow curtain.
...
Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace.
As Amon was completely pulverized by the power of the Supernova Burst, Klein couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
If he had a choice, he naturally didn't wish to sacrifice himself to revive the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. He wished to personally protect this World and find the meaning of life again.
Of course, if he had no choice, he wouldn't hesitate to awaken the Celestial Worthy. He was certain that he could do this. Amon knew this as well, so he didn't force "Him." "He" only attempted to escape.
At the end of the battle, it was a battle of courage. Whoever wasn't afraid of dying would have the absolute advantage.
Clearly, Amon had no intention of sacrificing himself for this matter.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Klein's face under the cold and strange mask suddenly twisted.
Under the translucent, dark-colored cloak, the slippery, evil tentacles that extended out were either slapping the ground or rising high, completely out of his control.
He could sense that the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings within his body was awakening at an accelerated rate. Furthermore, it seemed to be unstoppable.
Even if Klein died with this will and then relied on the powers of a Miracle Invoker to revive, he wouldn't be able to escape. This was because the Lord of the Mysteries also wielded the authority of Miracles.
At that moment, Klein recalled what Dark Angel Sasrir, the ancient Sun God, had said:
"The Primordial has awakened in my body …"
In the next second, at the spot where Amon's body had been pulverized, beams of light were pulled towards Klein by an invisible gravitational force.
Some of them were twelve-ringed Worms of Time, some were insects forged from resplendent starlight, and some were pure points of light …
Klein wanted to stop these Beyonder characteristics from fusing with him, but he failed due to the increasingly powerful will of the Celestial Worthy in his body.
His body swelled up like a balloon before suddenly thinning into a paper figurine. This repeated without end.
The mask on his face became increasingly bright and strange. The slippery and evil tentacles that extended out from under his cloak increased in number as they became more and more uncontrollable.
A Worm of Time Beyonder characteristic, a Key of Stars Beyonder characteristic, a … Klein's psyche felt like it was being devoured by an invisible monster, producing a rather intense pain.
In the end, a pair of eyeballs that seemed to be formed from pure starlight, containing layers of illusory doors, and a crystal monocle reformed. They rushed towards Klein's face, heading for the eye sockets of the mask.
Almost at the same time, the strange door of light that was stained with bluish-black appeared on Klein's body.
Sefirah Castle!
At that instant, Klein, Sefirah Castle, the Door's Uniqueness, and Error's Uniqueness had an extremely strong inclination to converge.
Once they fused into one, the Lord of the Mysteries would completely awaken and complete his resurrection.
Klein suddenly covered half his face with his right hand.
His entire body bent down as though he was fighting against another version of himself.
With the cognitive positioning and image interference brought about by the Believer's Anchor, Klein finally delayed the awakening of the Lord of the Mysteries's will, weakening the power of convergence a little.
The pair of starlight eyes and the crystal monocle stopped in front of Klein's face. They floated a few centimeters away, like planets orbiting the Sun.
This extreme imbalance made Klein believe that he couldn't maintain it for too long. Perhaps in a few minutes, or even a few dozen seconds, the convergence would continue uncontrollably, bringing about changes that he couldn't bear.
"Haha, this can also be considered a type of fusion." Klein laughed in an unstable manner.
Then, he "fooled" the Tren Sostel Brass Book, allowing it to enter a sealed state and fly into the junk pile.
Right on the heels of that, Klein left Sefirah Castle and arrived at the astral world formed from symbols and authorities.
This place looked similar to the cosmos. It was dark, deep, and vast, but in fact, there were many unique aspects. For example, one could clearly see a Sun -like star hanging in the distance, emitting normal light and heat. However, if one tried to approach it without suffering any damage, they would discover that the astral world was like a black curtain. The Sun was directly drawn with oil paint, and there were a bunch of concepts and symbols gathered around it.
Furthermore, the Sun wasn't drawn very well. It was like a child who didn't have any artistic skills had randomly drawn it. It was both comical and terrifying.
On another level, this might be a manifestation of the chaos and madness of the underlying rules.
As soon as Klein entered, he immediately felt invisible gazes.
Some of them came from the area protected by the World's barrier, while others came from a wider area. They clearly had malicious intent.
The corners of Klein's mouth curled up uncontrollably. He suddenly turned his head and looked outside the World's barrier. He raised his slippery and sinister tentacles.
The pair of eyes cast by starlight and the crystal monocle also moved along with it.
Suddenly, all the gazes from the cosmos retreated, leaving only a hand-drawn crimson moon hanging there, flashing with light.
"Haha." Klein laughed as he arrived outside a dark kingdom filled with night vanilla and slumber flowers.
At the same time, the Evernight Goddess appeared at the edge of the divine kingdom in a layered dress dotted with stardust. Her face was covered with a thin translucent black veil.
"She" didn't enlarge herself. "She" glanced at Klein at eye level and raised "Her" right hand, revealing a golden bird-shaped accessory.
On the head of the golden bird-shaped accessory, in its bronze-like eyes, layers of illusory doors appeared, allowing a colorless drop of water with a strong aura of eternal silence to fly out and land on Klein's cold and strange mask.
The will of the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings passively entered a state of eternal slumber. It was the same for most of Klein's consciousness, leaving behind only a tiny bit of lucidity.
Under such a situation, he retracted the mask and transformed the cloak into a black trench coat.
Then, he made the crystal monocle turn into a pair of black gloves, and the pair of eyes forged from starlight turned into a cane embedded with stardust.
This was only a change in appearance. In essence, there was no change. Once these two items left Klein, they would return to their original forms. Of course, if Klein stabilized and accommodated them, he could modify the corresponding concepts and symbols over and over again, allowing them to permanently change their forms.
"This can't be maintained for too long. It's just delaying matters for a period of time." The Evernight Goddess gently reminded him. "If you repeatedly use the river water of the River of Eternal Darkness, the Lord of the Mysteries will awaken even faster. This is because 'He' will undergo an unknown change and adjust 'His' state. Similarly, the uniqueness from Sefirah Castle and my blessings will gradually be erased. You will also enter an eternal slumber."
Klein didn't seem to be discussing his own matters as he smiled and nodded.
"Got it."
The Evernight Goddess said in a tone that seemed to soothe Klein's mind,
"On this matter, the methods and actions that Amon has taken have exceeded my expectations. 'He' is indeed the true God of Deceit.
"It's not like you don't have a chance next. You can first try to completely control Sefirah Castle and pull the will of the Lord of the Mysteries into eternal slumber. In your dream, you can resist and fuse with 'Him.' I can give you a certain amount of blessings, but the key is still you.
"There's no ritual to become a Great Sun. No ritual can change the awakening of the Primordial Will, but the ancient Sun God believes that the sequence of accommodations can increase one's self-awareness to a certain extent and increase the success rate of matters.
"First become a Sequence 0 of a pathway, then control and fuse with the sefirah, and finally accommodate the other Uniquenesses. This is the optimal sequence.
"Becoming a dual-pathway true god, controlling and fusing with the sefirah, and then accommodating the remaining Uniquenesses is not a good or bad sequence.
"Only fusing with the sefirah at the final step is the worst choice."
Klein smiled and said, "This is a good idea.
As long as' He 'wakes up, a Lord of the Mysteries will be born.
"This might be 'Him,' or it might be me. Yes, after completely controlling Sefirah Castle and entering eternal slumber, I should be able to make a certain weakness appear in the Western Continent's seal, a weakness that can be entered and exited."
The Evernight Goddess didn't say a word when she heard Klein's words.
Klein continued smiling.
"This is my choice.
"I've long expected that there would be such a day when I would finally face 'Him.'"
