… The Goddess has really responded … When he saw the words formed by the powder, Klein's first reaction had nothing to do with the actual content. Instead, he was shocked that this seemingly ridiculous matter had really happened.
Although he was mentally prepared and believed that the chances of success weren't low, he still fell into mixed emotions. He failed to extricate himself for nearly a minute.
After a while, Klein slowly exhaled, raised his right hand, and tapped his chest four times in a clockwise fashion.
"Praise the Lady!"
He then ended the ritual and forced himself to focus his attention back on the oracle itself.
An evil spirit possessing a body that needs to be exorcised?
Ince Zangwill was actually possessed by an evil spirit? He advanced from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5 of the Death pathway, and at the critical stage of obtaining godhood, he also switched to Sequence 4 Nightwatcher of the Evernight pathway, which is very good at dealing with spirit-type creatures. Only wraiths and evil spirits are afraid of him, so how could he be possessed by an undead?
Unless the evil spirit is of a very high level or has an extremely special nature.
Unfortunately, I've only seen one evil spirit in the truest sense of the word. It's the ancient evil spirit sealed in Alista Tudor's underground ruin. I don't know much about such monsters, so it's difficult to grasp many of the details. Yes, I can write to Miss Sharon later, or I can get Little Sun to inquire. That Shepherd Elder Lovia Grazes an evil spirit …
It's no wonder Ince Zangwill wants to meet a demigod of the Charismatic Order. In terms of exorcising evil spirits, apart from the Church of Evernight and the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, it's probably the Charismatic Order. Uh, there's probably the Church of the God of Combat in front of it. Similar pathways always have similarities.
There's also something that can be seen. Ince Zangwill doesn't wish for the matter of him being possessed by an evil spirit to be known by a particular faction of the royal family or the Demoness Sect. Otherwise, there's no need for him to personally come to the Southern Continent! Those two factions originated before the Fifth Epoch and have a long heritage. It's unlikely that they can't find a Sealed Artifact that can exorcise or purify evil spirits. Even if they can't find it, contacting the Charismatic Order through the Demoness Sect is definitely safer and more covert than Ince Zangwill making a trip himself …
As his thoughts raced, Klein spread out a piece of paper on the table and wrote:
"The information you provided allowed me to connect the clues I gathered previously. And thanks to the help of a certain great existence, this clearly pointed to a conclusion.
"Ince Zangwill has been possessed by an evil spirit and is seeking help from the Charismatic Order.
"Just from this fact alone, we can draw a lot of useful conclusions.
"Ince Zangwill will often show inconsistencies in his words and actions. He will occasionally deviate from the norm and do things that we don't think he would do, making mistakes that we can't understand. Before this problem is resolved, his contact with the Charismatic Order will not be interrupted. In fact, it will become more frequent …
"Following up on these judgments, we might be able to catch Ince Zangwill's tail, but I believe we still won't be able to lock onto him. The coincidences created by that Grade 0 Sealed Artifact are usually difficult to surpass."
Upon writing this, Klein couldn't help but recall his encounter with Ince Zangwill.
His own investigations didn't directly point to Ince Zangwill, but it nearly exposed their plot. Hence, Ince Zangwill took the initiative to strike, sending a meteor from the sky in an attempt to kill Sherlock Moriarty and wipe out all the clues. And in the end, he received Mr. Aztec's help and escaped from a despairing situation. This caused Ince Zangwill to have no choice but to step out from behind the scenes and onto the stage, exposing himself under the spotlight.
Under those circumstances, if Mr. Aztec were to return to his previous standards, Ince Zangwill might've already died … But to replicate such a situation and create a scene where he has no choice but to appear in front of us is still very difficult. After all, not only did the Death Consul, Mr. Aztec, and me, who can use the gray fog to destroy the coincidences, also appeared, Trissy Cheek, and the ring on her hand that's suspected to be a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. Without this lady's sudden escape, Ince Zangwill wouldn't have been forced to take action personally … Klein deliberated before writing:
"If we can figure out the origins and main goal of that evil spirit, there might be a turn for the better …"
After writing about Ince Zangwill, Klein's heart stirred. He was about to mention something else in passing, but after outlining the first few letters, he stopped writing and raised his left hand. At the same time, he pinched his cheeks, appearing very hesitant and embarrassed.
After silently mumbling a few words, Klein finally wrote the rest of the content smoothly.
"Even without the help of that Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, Ince Zangwill is still an enemy that you and I can't fight head-on. We need to make ample preparations.
"If you can provide some Worms of Time, I can make them into high-level charms that can deal with demigods. This is called Fate Siphon. It can switch the fates of myself and the target for a short period of time."
Putting down the fountain pen, Klein didn't read any further. He quickly folded the letter and solemnly stuffed it into an envelope.
He then took out the adventurer's harmonica and a gold coin, summoned Miss Messenger, and got her to retrieve the reply to Leonard Mitchell. However, this time, it wasn't delivered to 7 Pinster Street, but directly to his current residence. It hadn't been long since Leonard wrote the letter, so Klein believed that he hadn't moved out of Reinette Tinekerr's perception range.
After doing all of this, Klein heaved a sigh of relief as he shook his head slightly.
"It's really difficult to request a favor from others. It's even more so for thin-skinned people."
He quickly reined in his attention and began modifying the two marionettes, Winner Enzo and Admiral Hell Ludwell. This was because they had been seen by the Angel of Fate Ouroboros while exploring Calderón City.
During this process, Klein suddenly had an idea. He planned on "sending" them above the gray fog and using the Spirit World Plunderer's true soul as a disguise!
The Spirit World Plunderer could make a soul avatar take on the appearance of a true soul, and it could also disguise them as other spirit world creatures. The Beyonder ingredient it left behind definitely had similar powers. However, it was difficult to use, and the effects were rather poor. The negative effects were immense!
However, this wasn't a problem for Klein, who had the mysterious space above the gray fog. After all, he didn't plan on using the Beyonder ingredient in actual combat. Usually, modifying marionettes didn't require smooth control or good effects. Furthermore, it could be slowly adjusted. As for the negative effects of having godhood mixed in, it wasn't even worth mentioning. Who wouldn't know their place in the junk pile?
After some work, Klein sat on the high-back chair belonging to The Fool. He held the palm-sized Spirit World Plunderer's true soul body in his hand. Without looking down, he slowly extended his spirituality into it.
What he saw in front of him hadn't changed much. It was still the illusory and dense black Spirit Body Threads, but when he attempted to control it, he realized that not only could he control the marionette's Spirit Body Threads, but he could also make his Spirit Body Threads swim over and stab into the marionette's body.
When the two of them established such a two-way connection, Klein suddenly felt that his marionette had become one with him. All his Beyonder powers could be exerted on the marionette through the Spirit Body Threads, including the "technique" of a Faceless to change his appearance and figure!
Amidst the slow and arduous control, Klein felt dizzy as his emotions turned chaotic. He began to show signs of losing control.
This was the inevitable effect of direct contact between his spirituality and godhood.
He hurriedly diverted some of the powers of the mysterious space above the gray fog to calm himself down.
After a bout of torment, Klein completed his attempt. Winner Enzo had become more like a native of the Southern Continent. It was obvious that he came from a plantation. As for Admiral Hell Ludwell, he looked like a mixed-blood. Not only was his terrifying face no longer all skin and bones, it even looked a little plump. As for the silver mask that had the effect of calming the soul, there was no way to remove it for the time being. All Klein could do was let Ludwell tie it to his chest and stick it to his skin. This had a certain effect, but it wasn't as good as wearing it directly on his face.
Unfortunately, there's no way to change this mask into other accessories. Otherwise, it would save me a lot of trouble. As Klein hurriedly threw the Spirit World Plunderer's true soul back into the junk pile, he rubbed his temples and allowed his thoughts to wander. By the way, I still have a Soul Assurer Beyonder characteristic here. It can be made into a mystical item to replace that mask … No, I've always been planning on returning it to the Church. I'll send it to Leonard once he replies.
After the discomfort gradually subsided, Klein took out his golden pocket watch and opened it to confirm the time.
Following that, he summoned a paper figurine and used some of the powers of the mysterious space above the gray fog, throwing both into a specially marked point of light.
It was the point of light that belonged to The Fool's only believer, Dhaniz!
From Klein's point of view, Admiral of Stars Cattleya had the Moses Ascetic Order backing her. Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina was a member of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Anderson Hood didn't know much about German Sparrow, and he was very good at recognizing the situation. He wouldn't flaunt his superiority, so when faced with the Aurora Order's "investigations," they probably wouldn't be in too much danger. Only Dhaniz was in West Balam, unable to return to the Golden Dream anytime soon. His strength wasn't much, and he would occasionally wear boxing gloves that made him act before thinking. It was truly worrying.
Due to these facts, Mr. Fool had no choice but to work a little harder. He would give Dhaniz a Paper Angel hug at a fixed time every day to interfere with his divination and prophecy.
…
Leonard never expected Klein Moretti to reply so quickly. He tore open the envelope in disbelief and read the corresponding content.
Benefiting from the help of a particular mighty existence. Is it referring to The Fool?
Indeed, Klein's investigation of Ince Zangwill has gone deep to a certain extent. Just as I mentioned the Charismatic Order, he learned the truth …
Possessed by an evil spirit? Why would he be possessed by an evil spirit?
How should I use this?
"Worm of Time … This …" Leonard quickly skimmed to the end of the letter as his expression suddenly turned a little complicated.
In his mind, Pallez Zoroast remained silent without a word.
