From its appearance, there was nothing special about the bookmark. Rosell's portrait could be seen everywhere in the memorial exhibition. It was the same for the emperor's image and his middle-aged state.
Klein examined it a few times and found a tiny mark that had been poked out. He confirmed that it was the bookmark that Miss Justice had verified.
He attempted to spread his spirituality and slowly inject it, but just like with ordinary items, his spirituality only flowed and blanketed it. It didn't seep into it, nor did it cause any abnormalities.
That's right. Rosell's idea is to find a "fated person." He wouldn't specifically limit it to Beyonders … Klein thought for a moment and switched to Feysac's deep pronunciation.
"Pirate King!"
The bookmark still didn't react.
He tried using ancient Feysac, Intis, and Rouen, but he received the same result.
As for Jotun, Elvish, Dragonese, and other mystical domains' languages, Klein could only give it a try without much hope due to the limited target.
Without a doubt, he failed.
Right on the heels of that, Klein used Feysac's language to translate.
“one
piece！”
The bookmark lay quietly in his palm, showing no signs of abnormality.
Klein followed the process from before and tried again in different languages, only to encounter constant setbacks.
From the looks of it, my initial guess was wrong. The young Rosell might have joked about One Piece, but he might not have done so in his old age. People will eventually age and change. Klein reflected on his mistake and tapped the edge of the long mottled table with his finger, trying to infer the activation method from the information revealed in the diary.
After a while, he conjured a pen and paper and recorded the process of his thinking to avoid any confusion and contradictions.
"On this matter, Rosell was both crazy and desperate, and he clearly showed his bad taste. The description of 'fated person gets it,' which doesn't match the current language habits of the World, is proof of that."
"Therefore, it can be confirmed that he really wanted someone to discover the uniqueness of the Card of Blasphemy by chance."
"Since that's the case, the way to open it shouldn't be too hard to imagine. It's possible for it to appear in daily life."
"What Rosell needs are coincidences. For example, when you hold a worthless bookmark and read out a specific word, then, congratulations, you've obtained a fortuitous encounter! Hmm, this is very much in line with his bad taste. "
According to this logic, different Cards of Blasphemy should have different activation incantations. Using a single word to activate all the Cards of Blasphemy clearly isn't Rosell's style.
"What is the activation incantation for this card? Hmm, first of all, we can rule out the ones that are commonly used and spoken at all times. "
Also, when creating the Cards of Blasphemy, Rosell's state was one of despair, madness, reluctance, reluctance, struggle, and anger. I can try to put myself in that state of mind and pretend that I was Rosell at that time. Imagine what kind of activation method I would set up.
Klein put down his fountain pen and acted as Rosell in an attempt to find inspiration.
He first used the languages of various countries and ancient Feysac to try curses and words of hope, but he shamefully failed.
Following that, he tried to figure out what a powerhouse on the brink of despair would be most reluctant to part with.
"His wife, Matilda? Such a flirtatious fellow shouldn't have deep feelings for his first wife. "
"His children? His eldest daughter, Bernadette, his eldest son, Ciel, his second son, Bornova … "
"According to the diary, what he couldn't let go of the most was likely his daughter, Bernadette, who might become an important figure in the mysterious World."
Klein paused, took a deep breath, and prepared to make a new attempt.
"Bernadette," he said in Intis.
The bookmark didn't respond.
Klein switched to Rouen, Highlander, and Feysac, but he still failed to obtain the desired result.
He sighed, and with a deep voice, he spoke the corresponding ancient Feysac syllables.
"Bernadette."
This name echoed above the empty and silent gray fog without anything special about it. Just as Klein was searching for new inspiration, he suddenly felt the bookmark in his hand sink!
It immediately formed an invisible vortex that frantically absorbed Klein's psyche.
To an ordinary person, this was a huge burden, but to a Sequence 7 Magician, it wasn't a serious drain. Klein easily passed this stage and couldn't hide his joy as he looked at the item in his palm.
On the bookmark, a bright light rose bit by bit, and the image of Emperor Rosell outside took on a brand new look.
He sat on an ancient stone throne, wearing a black crown inlaid with all kinds of gems on his head. He wore pitch-black armor and a cloak of the same color. He held a scepter in his hand, and his eyes were cold as he looked forward.
On the upper left corner of the bookmark, a line of text condensed from the resplendent starlight:
"Sequence 0: Dark Emperor!"
Sequence 0! Indeed, it hides the secret of God! The Dark Emperor is actually a Sequence 0 … Klein held back a smile as he thought with mixed emotions and surprise.
Following that, the bookmark became three-dimensional, like a miniature book.
The book moved without any wind, revealing an image of Rosell wearing a white hood. Beside it was the corresponding description in ancient Feysac:
"Sequence 9, Lawyer."
"Good at discovering and using loopholes in the rules and weaknesses of the opponent. Possesses excellent eloquence and logical reasoning …"
"Potion formula …"
Klein glanced at the formula ingredients and reached out to touch it without looking at it carefully. The book flipped.
"Sequence 8: Barbarian."
"Problems that cannot be resolved with the law must be resolved with force. This is also a type of rule … Beyonders of this Sequence have a high resistance to mental influences …"
"Potion formula …"
With Klein's touch, the book produced by the Card of Blasphemy flipped page after page.
"Sequence 7: Briber."
…
"Sequence 6: Baron of Corruption."
…
"Sequence 5: Mentor of Confusion."
…
"Sequence 4: Earl of The Fallen."
…
"Sequence 3: Frenzied Mage."
…
"Sequence 2: Duke of Entropy."
…
"Sequence 1: Prince of Disorder."
…
"Sequence 0: Dark Emperor."
…
After skimming through it, Klein couldn't help but sigh.
"This really hides the mystery of becoming a god!"
"It's no wonder Beyonders of this pathway will attempt to establish a kingdom and walk the land when they reach High-Sequence Beyonders."
Because the ritual to become a god required this!
To advance from Sequence 1 Prince of Disorder to Black Emperor, the ritual required was to have a country of one's own. One's name had to be associated with the title of emperor, making it common knowledge for the people. Furthermore, one needed to establish a set of strict and complicated rules that violated normal circumstances, including the architectural style.
Following that, one had to drive the people to secretly build nine pyramid-like mausoleums. Then, one would enter one of them and consume the Sequence 0 potion in the corresponding sacrificial ritual that was spread across different cities.
Once the advancement was successful, the Dark Emperor wouldn't truly die before the nine secret mausoleums were destroyed. Even if "He" died, "He" could still awaken from one of the mausoleums.
What was even more terrifying was that even if "He" successfully slew a god and destroyed all nine mausoleums, as long as there was a certain amount of the order established by the deity, "He" could still mysteriously revive. This seemed to be a loophole of death.
To completely obliterate "Him," the best way was to have a new Dark Emperor appear!
"That's a deity!"
"And mortals are unable to resist a deity, even an angel."
"Those who haven't become a deity will never be able to imagine the power of a deity."
Rosell mentioned a few words with deep meaning at the end.
In addition, Klein also knew one thing. Once a pathway had a Sequence 0 true god, it was impossible for a Sequence 1 Beyonder to appear. If there was no Sequence 0, then there would be at most three Sequence 1 Beyonders in the same pathway. This was a detail of the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Conservation and Indestructibility!
According to the description of the ten Sequences of the Card of Blasphemy, the Dark Emperor, Klein could clearly tell that the greatest characteristic of this pathway was that it would gradually evolve into the shadow of order!
Rosell also mentioned that after advancing to a High-Sequence Beyonder, holding this Card of Blasphemy would produce a subtle reaction with the Beyonder ingredients one needed!
Of course, this was only limited to the corresponding High-Sequence Beyonders of the Dark Emperor pathway.
Unfortunately, it's useless to me. Klein watched as the Card of Blasphemy thinned back into a poker card.
However, it was no longer in disguise. On the surface, it was Rosell sitting on the stone throne — Sequence 0 Dark Emperor!
Klein fell silent for a few seconds and sighed silently.
The greatest use of this card for me is to exchange the formula for the items I need. Secondly, it's some knowledge regarding deities and Sequences. Other than that, there's almost nothing else it can be used for.
Heh, at least this way, as the leader of the Tarot, as The Fool, I'm no longer an empty shell. I've grasped a pathway of the divine, so it's not like I can't even produce a High-Sequence formula!
Hmm … I remember that at the Beyonder gathering organized by Old Mister Eye of Wisdom, the lady who's suspected to have an Artisan backing her has been asking to buy the Barbarian potion formula …
As his thoughts churned, Klein looked at Rosell on the Dark Emperor card and suddenly laughed.
He uses his own image for every Sequence. How narcissistic …
I'm suddenly very curious about what the corresponding Card of Blasphemy of the Demoness pathway would look like. Hehe.
Reining in his thoughts, Klein destroyed the other bookmark he had picked up in passing and realized that it was just an ordinary bookmark.
After doing all of this, he changed his sitting posture and leaned back in his chair. In response to Miss Justice's prayer last night, he said in a low and calm voice,
