When he opened his eyes again, the threats and pleas in Klein's mind had completely vanished. The light blue flame in front of him was still burning silently on the pitch-black candle's wick.
He seriously observed the state of his Spirit Body and confirmed that all the signs of chaos had vanished. The aura's color had also turned pure and no longer mottled.
It's finally resolved … Klein heaved a sigh of relief and lowered the Sea God Scepter. With a snap of his fingers, he instantly extinguished the Mental Terror Candle.
He didn't immediately return to the real World. Instead, he sat silently above the gray fog for a while, calming and dispelling the remnant negative emotions in his heart in this silent place.
After this incident, Klein had a deeper understanding of the path of the Beyonder than before. It was a path that constantly resisted madness and danger. All Beyonders could be on the verge of losing control due to internal factors or external stimuli if they weren't careful, resulting in mental problems. And once the symptoms were revealed and they weren't resolved in time, it would be abnormally difficult to save them.
There are both internal and external factors in the development of this alternate personality … The source is that I'm a transmigrator, but I've fused with Klein Moretti's memory fragments and a portion of his emotions. I naturally have the potential to have a split personality. Furthermore, in order to steal the Antigonus family's notebook and act as Dawn Dantès, it can be said that I'm walking along the edge of the abyss. The pressure is immense. After being mentally corrupted and stimulated by the Keeper losing control, the problem immediately flared up … As Klein rubbed his Sun acupoint, he vanished above the gray fog.
Just as he returned to his body, Klein suddenly felt his mind relax and become a lot clearer. It was as though a dusty glass had been carefully wiped, and the Faceless potion he had consumed had been completely digested.
The appearance of the alternate personality indeed had all sorts of psychological problems from before as a trigger. Using the Mental Terror Candle to resolve the problem was equivalent to receiving a comprehensive and effective psychoanalysis. In the short term, there wouldn't be any latent problems in this aspect. However, I still have to constantly pay attention and adjust myself. I can't be careless … Klein walked out of the bathroom and came to the balcony. He looked at the distant mountain peak and the nearby greenery. He was in a rather good state.
He could clearly feel that his self-awareness and self-identity had deepened, and the feeling of detachment that he often felt had weakened a lot.
I didn't expect that winning the battle against my alternate persona would have such benefits … If it weren't for the fact that my alternate persona would be stronger and more difficult to deal with, I would've wanted to split my personality a few more times and kill "myself" a few more times … Klein shook his head and laughed in a self-deprecating manner.
Frankly speaking, if it were anyone else, just this split personality would be rather dangerous and difficult to resolve. It was only because he knew where to find the Mental Terror Candle, knew how to obtain it, knew the crux of the problem, and had the experience to deal with it. Only then could he eliminate the latent dangers in time and prevent the secondary personality from maturing. Otherwise, the best outcome would be Bishop Utravsky's initial state. At worst, he would gradually lose control and be irreversible.
Besides, I still have a backup Psychiatrist … Klein chuckled softly, walked back to the room, and sat on the reclining chair.
He once again reflected on what he had encountered that day and extracted the things that he needed to pay attention to in the future.
If a Mid-Sequence Beyonder of the Sleepless pathway loses control, they can directly corrupt a person's mind by pulling them into a dream. I have to be careful in the future …
Without reaching a High-Sequence Beyonder, most Rampagers of the pathway wouldn't be able to do so. They would often mutate into monsters and use the corresponding Beyonder powers to control or attack their targets. It was very difficult for them to transmit the corruption they had suffered.
Apart from Mid-Sequence Beyonders of the Sleepless pathway being able to do so, those of the Spectator pathway should be able to do so as well … If I encounter such enemies, I really wouldn't know how to defend against them if I don't eliminate them first … Also, although I've figured out the state of the Keepers and their relationship with the seal's core, the corresponding problem has arisen. If I were to infiltrate in disguise, how should I create the appearance of being corrupted by the seal's core and not be seen through by it … Klein carefully considered for a moment, but he had no idea. All he could do was stand up, walk to the desk, pick up a fountain pen, and draw a compound symbol of concealment and prying on a piece of paper.
He was summoning Arrodes.
The full-body mirror in the master bedroom suddenly produced an invisible ripple as silver light leaped out, forming Rouen words.
"Great Master, your loyal, humble, and obedient servant, Arrodes, is always at your service.
"My previous behavior has caused a certain amount of damage to your current image. I, I am very scared and very guilty. Can, can you accept my apology?"
He actually knows to admit his mistake this time … Klein scoffed.
"Don't make the same mistake again."
"Alright!" New words appeared on the full-body mirror's surface. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes." Klein deliberated for a moment and said, "The Keepers of the Church of Evernight have been corrupted by the power of the seal's core behind Chanis Gate. Their states are different from ordinary Beyonders. Is there any way to perfectly disguise them?"
The silver words squirmed and changed, outlining a brand new content:
"Great Master, there's only one solution. That is to sacrifice your marionette and let it be corrupted by the seal's core powers. Gradually, it will change into a state similar to those Keepers. Then, you can store it in your body and fool the seal's core."
That can be done … It's indeed an idea … However, a marionette made from a Sequence 5 Wraith might not be something that can be bought with money … To obtain the formula and ingredients for a High-Sequence Beyonder potion, one really needs to pay a huge price … Klein thought for a moment.
"Then, how do I get the marionette to be corrupted by the seal's core?"
Typically speaking, the moment a Wraith marionette approached Chanis Gate or appeared in the prayer hall, it would be discovered by the seal's powers and forcefully purified or dispelled!
The full-body mirror's surface rippled once again, reflecting a figure.
The figure wore an old-fashioned veil. She was tall and had chestnut-colored long hair. She was none other than Queen Mystic Bernadette.
"Great Master, you have to seek her help," Arrodes explained as he pieced together the silver words.
Her? Queen Mystic isn't from the Evernight pathway. How can she provide help? Or does she have a Sealed Artifact that corresponds to a High-Sequence Beyonder of the Evernight pathway, similar to the seal's core behind Chanis Gate? It just so happens that Admiral of Stars needs a drop of blood from a Mythical Creature. When the time comes, apart from giving Will Auceptin something that satisfies "Him," "He" will also have to pay my intermediary fee … This is the intermediary fee! Klein nodded in thought.
"Very good. You may return."
"Yes, Great and Supreme Master. Your loyal and lowly servant, Arrodes, awaits your next summoning." As the silver words appeared, Arrodes outlined a hand that was constantly shaking a handkerchief.
The corners of Klein's mouth twitched when he saw this. He was momentarily at a loss for a reaction.
…
West Borough, inside the Odora family's villa.
With a faint smile, Emlyn White casually found a single-seater sofa in the living room and sat down.
Diagonally across him, another Sanguine Baron, Rus Báthory, was holding a glass of blood as he stared at him with narrowed eyes. He didn't hide his disgust and hatred at all. Rus Báthory had not only been injured when he hunted the first Primordial Moon believer, but his spoils of war had also been snatched by Emlyn.
Your performance will only make me happy … Emlyn chuckled inwardly as he turned his head to look at Cosmi Odora, who had pushed open the door and entered. He waited for the baron to announce the results and award the prizes.
Cosmi forced himself to ignore Emlyn's gaze as he walked to the fireplace and said to all the Sanguine present,
"I've gathered all of you here because the final winner of the Hunting Competition has been decided."
Who? The vampires glanced left and right at each other, guessing who had won.
Their gazes were mostly focused on Rus Báthory. Almost no one believed that it was Emlyn White. Only Rus Báthory vaguely guessed something as he cast his gaze at the darn fellow in shock.
Cosmi sighed and said, "Emlyn White has killed three targets.
"Emlyn White has killed three targets and automatically obtained victory."
"What?" A young Sanguine blurted out in disbelief.
The Sanguine were a race with far fewer members than humans. Only a portion of them lived in Baekeland; therefore, they weren't strangers to each other.
Everyone knew very well what kind of Sanguine Emlyn was!
