Klein, who was dressed in his pajamas, didn't move. In his spiritual perception, the infiltrator's Spirit Body Threads had already appeared.
This also meant that as long as he was willing, he could turn everyone in 160 Böklund Street into marionettes even without leaving his bed. Of course, to a demigod, a Bizarro Sorcerer, neighbors a few houses away were also within his control range.
There are many Spirit Bodies around. One of them helped him complete his flight and landed on the balcony next door … Is this a Beyonder of the Death pathway or the Evernight pathway? To be able to do such a thing, he's at least a Sequence 6 … Is he here for Richardson? No, he walked to the door of my bedroom and stopped there. He reached out his right hand and knocked on the door … He's certain that I'll sense it? Klein sat up with a heavy expression.
The first part of his judgment was done through his Spirit Body Threads, and the subsequent part was directly "seeing" him, forming a scene in his mind.
After he reached Sequence 4, not only had his danger premonition abilities as a Clown strengthened, but his ability to stir and use the mysterious space above the gray fog had also undergone a qualitative improvement. With the two combined, it wasn't difficult for him to use his intuition and premonition to project the figure and movements of the approaching person in his mind from afar.
In addition, due to his deeper control over the mysterious space, Klein could already converge the augmentation of the gray fog in the real World, preventing Beyonders of special pathways from noticing any traces. And according to his judgment, with him above the gray fog, augmented by the Card of Blasphemy, and wielding the Sea God Scepter, the power The Fool projected into the real world was infinitely close to that of an angel.
If not for that, even if the gray fog and Paper Figurine Substitutes did provide the ability to maintain lucidity in a dreamlike state, Klein wouldn't have dared to let Miss Justice face a Sequence 4 or even a Sequence 3 of the Spectator pathway.
Amidst his thoughts, he left his bed, put on his slippers, straightened his robe, and walked to a reclining chair.
He slowly sat down and said, "Please come in."
The door to the master bedroom opened silently, but the cold wind didn't blow in. All it did was swirl in the corridor.
The visitor was a man about the same age and height as Dawn Dantès. He had black hair, brown eyes, and deep facial features. He looked like a typical Rouen.
He was wearing a silk top hat, and his face was rather thin and long. His temperament was rather cold, but it wasn't the type that made people feel uncomfortable. Instead, it was the type that directly reflected the meaning of a suburban cemetery at night.
At that instant, Klein saw countless Spirit Bodies surrounding the middle-aged gentleman, causing him to be surrounded by layers of darkness, as though a World was hidden within.
Klein's spiritual intuition told him that this was a demigod.
I just returned to Baekeland. Why did a demigod come knocking on my door … Apart from the Church of Evernight's archbishop of Baekeland, my identity as Dawn Dantès hasn't been exposed at all … Klein looked at the door with a toothache. His face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell if he was angry or alarmed.
The demigod took two steps and suddenly let his right hand hang straight down in front of him, causing his back to bend like a bow that had been pulled to its limit.
He solemnly bowed in a strange posture, his attitude extremely respectful. At the same time, the cold wind blew, and the door silently closed.
Klein was almost stunned, and he didn't know how to react. After that, his thoughts drifted, and he vaguely had some guesses.
At that moment, the demigod maintained his posture and spoke in a deep voice.
"Patrick Bryan of the Charismatic Order has come to greet Your Excellency."
'Oracle …' Klein controlled the twitching of his cheeks. Combined with his guesses just now, he roughly understood what was going on.
The Evernight Goddess's control over Artificial Death, which was also the Death pathway's Uniqueness, had deepened once again. "She" could issue a revelation to the upper echelons of the Charismatic Order's Artificial Death faction!
Klein sighed and smiled as he pressed his right hand to his chest, but he did not make any extra movements.
"What is God's decree?"
Bryan slowly straightened his body and looked at the gentleman with white sideburns sitting on the reclining chair. He replied with a hint of fanaticism,
"We succeeded. God has finally awakened. 'He' wants me to listen to your orders and accept your arrangements from today onwards."
Klein had already expected this, but when he heard the other party's answer, he still felt his face turn sour. He didn't know if he should laugh or cry.
This is making me, a Blessed of the Evernight, take on the role of a Blessed of Artificial Death, secretly leading the Charismatic Order's Artificial Death faction … Is this a gift from fate, or is it the price that was secretly marked? Since the Goddess didn't let the Church's archbishop or high-ranking deacons be in charge of this matter, it means that "She" wishes to keep it strictly a secret … Klein stood up and tried his best to make his expression and tone appear pious.
"As God commands.
"The will of God is my will!"
After expressing his stance, he sat down again and looked at the demigod, who was standing straight. He pointed at the sofa opposite him and said, "Please have a seat.
"Please take a seat. Well, introducing yourself is basic courtesy, isn't it?"
Just now, as thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein vaguely grasped the reason why the Goddess had handed him the leadership of the Charismatic Order's Artificial Death faction.
The identity of German Sparrow was closely related to the former Death Consul!
Therefore, if anyone were to discover any clues and begin investigating the change in ownership of the Charismatic Order's Artificial Death faction, they would discover that it was related to German Sparrow. Then, they would be enlightened and feel that they had grasped the truth. They would understand why Artificial Death was able to come to life and send down a revelation.
Based on this guess, Klein deliberately made Dawn Dantès use a catchphrase of German Sparrow.
Patrick Bryan sat on the sofa and thought for a moment.
"I'm from Rouen. I once went to East Balam to do business, and because I contracted a disease there, I nearly died. I was saved by members of the Charismatic Order and received the grace of a deity in a ritual, allowing me to survive. Therefore, I secretly changed my faith.
"My faction has always been slandered by the other members of the Charismatic Order. They believe that we are blasphemous and that we are attempting to create a new Death, but that's not the case. We firmly believe that God didn't perish at the end of the Fourth Epoch. He had only fallen into a deep slumber and needed a special method to awaken 'Him' bit by bit. The facts have proven that we were right. You are the witness."
The ancient documents I obtained don't say that. The upper echelons of the Charismatic Order are fully aware that I'm imitating the Hidden Sage's Artificial Death … Could it be that the gentleman in front of me isn't a core member of the Charismatic Order's Artificial Death faction, and that he lacks sufficient understanding of the Uniqueness? But how can a demigod not be a core member? Even if the Numinous Episcopate was transformed from the Balam royal family and the Church of Death back then, with its deep heritage and numerous powerhouses, it's impossible for them to waste a demigod … Even the seven orthodox Churches can't do such a thing … Klein was extremely puzzled when he heard that.
Without batting an eyelid, he asked, "What about the other upper echelons of your faction?"
Patrick Bryan said with a look of reverence, "When I joined the Charismatic Order, God had already awakened a little.
"When I joined the Numinous Episcopate, God had already awakened a little. This was all thanks to the saints of the past. They had sacrificed themselves in the various rituals.
"Currently, we have a total of three saints and an angel. They are all in East Balam, and I'm in charge of all matters in Baekeland."
That's not right. According to the information provided by Leonard, the members of the Charismatic Order in Baekeland are divided into many teams. They don't know each other, and they only communicate with designated personnel in the Southern Continent. There's no one in charge at all … Klein's first reaction was that Patrick Bryan was lying, but he immediately eliminated that thought because it was very easy to verify for the Blessed in the Oracle.
He thought for a moment and asked,
"What's the angel's name? Where are you now? Did you receive the oracle? "
Patrick Bryan said calmly, "That's right.
"God told me not to tell anyone else, and I can't ask anyone about it.
"Our leader's name is Haiter. This is both his surname and his given name. 'He' used to be the Archbishop of the Church. 'He' later received the blessing of God and became an angel. 'He' has been working hard to awaken the sleeping God. 'He' was severely corrupted during a certain ritual. 'He' is currently unable to leave his mausoleum, or else he would directly lose control. 'He' is considered my teacher."
This demigod that has existed since the Balam Empire's era is clearly the key figure leading the Artificial Death project … Klein asked thoughtfully, "What's going on?
"'He' and the other two demigods are from Balam, pure-blooded?"
"Yes." Patrick Bryan nodded.
I roughly understand what's going on … Klein couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He believed that Patrick Bryan wasn't an ordinary demigod, but a byproduct of the Artificial Death project!
Back then, Haiter and the other members of the Charismatic Order's Artificial Death faction didn't plan on saving a person from Rouen. Instead, they planned on using him as a sacrifice or material for a particular ritual. In the end, an attempt that they weren't confident in had an accident. The Uniqueness of Death had a basic instinct, or some other changes had occurred. This resulted in Patrick Bryan surviving and establishing a certain connection with the so-called Artificial Death. His soul and body were tainted with a uniqueness.
After witnessing this situation, Haiter and the other members of the upper echelons began to view Patrick Bryan as one of the keys to the success of the Artificial Death project. They gave him potions, taught him knowledge, instilled in him the faith of Death, and created a perfect reason for their actions. As for Bryan, due to his unique state, he rapidly advanced and became a demigod.
Of course, no matter how crucial he was, he was still experimental material. Patrick Bryan was never truly treated as a member of the Charismatic Order's Artificial Death faction. Later, he was sent to Baekeland in the Kingdom of Rouen to lead two or three teams. They cooperated in various rituals in an attempt to further activate the Uniqueness.
Such a guess matched everything that Klein knew so far. First, Leonard had mentioned that the Charismatic Order's Artificial Death faction had placed their experiments in Baekeland. They planned on destroying the enemy's capital if any accidents happened. Second, many teams had one-way communication with the Southern Continent. Baekeland didn't have an overall person-in-charge. Third, the situation of Artificial Death that Patrick Bryan knew was greatly different from the truth.
In other words, those fellows in the Southern Continent didn't care about Bryan's life or death, nor did they tell him the truth. There was no better explanation for this situation other than him being a byproduct of the Artificial Death project.
Yes, from the looks of it, the Goddess's grasp of the Uniqueness is still limited. She can only give a revelation to a fanatic who is directly connected to Artificial Death. She's still unable to influence Haiter and the other angels and saints … Klein reined in his thoughts and asked,
"What Sequence are you currently at?"
Patrick Bryan didn't hide anything.
"I'm an Undying."
