1379 Combining Forces
The âcurtainâ that enveloped the Antigonus palace instantly vanished. An indescribable aura returned to reality, causing the entire astral world to shake.
Outside the world barrier that was covered in cracks, the terrifying, indescribable faces suddenly changed.
The invisible barrier began to tremble violently as if it would collapse at any moment.
Every continent on the planet within experienced an earthquake. It wasnât a serious one, just rather obvious.
Above the Five Seas, waves surged, as if they had encountered a sudden tidal force.
Amid the ânoonâ sky, the crimson moon suddenly appeared. Its color became extremely saturated and expanded in an exaggerated manner. It was as if it had hung off the roofs of every house. Other than that, the Brown Planet, Orange Planet, Scarlet Planet, Gold Planet, and Blue Planet lit up at the same time, emitting light of different textures.
If one looked down from the cosmos, the entire Earth appeared to be swept up by an invisible storm and trembled in place.
This was a slight change brought about by the Outer Deitiesâ attempt to break the barrier.
The aura that floated inside the ancient palace in the astral world had made âThemâ collectively recall that terrifying existence. Agitated by this, either a result of rage or madness, all of âThemâ tried to stop âHisâ revival.
Compared to âThem,â who were blocked outside the real world, the first to react was the Magic Wishing Lamp in the pocket of Kleinâs âmain body.â
The sticky pale-golden light penetrated through the Amonâs enhanced seal, turning into a blurry and distorted figure.
It stretched out its arm and pulled the Trunsoest Brass Book into its palm.
The rules that were written previously had all disappeared, and a new article immediately formed:
âResurrection of the deceased is prohibited here!â
A faint grayish-white fog flashed and a familiar text appeared in front of this rule:
âAll the following rules are ineffective!â
Even though he hadnât really resurrected and had yet to absorb The Foolâs Uniqueness and two Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 Seer pathway Beyonder characteristics, the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings in Kleinâs main body could also control Sefirah Castle and use its status to direct its powers.
At this moment, âHisâ existence and the fog of history had completed their interactions. Fragments of light began to distort as they merged into one, sometimes breaking apart, unable to completely form a piece of history.
A sense of self-conflict appeared in that piece of history!
True history clearly involved the prehistoric human soul, Klein Moretti, disguising himself as The Fool and establishing the Tarot Club. He became stronger one Sequence at a time, and eventually reached the level of the true Fool. However, the present history was that Mr. Fool was a great existence that was awakening, the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings from ancient times. âHeâ had finally awakened!
At that moment, although the rule restriction put in effect by the Genie using the Trunsoest Brass Book could only be effective for less than a second, it still significantly weakened the will of the Lord of the Mysteries inside Kleinâs âmain body,â as though âHeâ had suffered a fatal blow.
As for Earth Mother and God of Steam and Machinery, âTheyâ had given up on interfering with Amonâs avatars, as though they wanted this Mr. Error to have the time to deal with the awakening Lord of the Mysteries.
However, âThey,â who clearly had some power to spare, didnât attempt to affect Kleinâs âmain body,â but continued suppressing the Primordial Demoness and the Hidden Sage.
The subsequent attacks and interferences from the latter two were no longer intense, as if âTheyâ were waiting for an outcome.
To âThem,â the resurrection of the Lord of the Mysteries was the achieving of âTheirâ goals:
Produce a âPillarâ as quickly as possible; and prevent entities that had animosity towards âThemâ from becoming the Lord of the Mysteries.
In addition, the pathways that âTheyâ were in didnât belong to the three pathways that were controlled by the Lord of the Mysteries. Furthermore, âTheyâ didnât have any feuds or conflicts of interest with the other party.
Amon, who was no longer affected, immediately changed âHisâ target and focused most of âHisâ attention on Kleinâs âmain body.â
There was no need for any explanation. âTheyâ clearly knew that this was âTheirâ greatest threat!
Without any hesitation, the Amons raised âTheirâ right hands at the same time and gently squeezed it, seriously âStealingâ the effects of the âeternal daytimeâ from the target.
However, the Amons didnât give up influencing Klein. With âTheirâ numbers, âTheyâ split off a small number of members and looked at Klein, who was currently a Sequence 1 Attendant of Mysteries. Furthermore, Klein also bore the identity of Antigonus.
The monocles of these Amons suddenly lit up. Using the authority related to âdoors,â âTheyâ moved Klein out of the real world and into the cosmos.
In the dark and vast Universe, Kleinâs figure appeared. Then, it instantly became thin, turning into a paper figurine.
The paper figurine first had its belly bloated before giving birth to a paper baby. Then, it rapidly rotted into dust.
Klein had used âGraftingâ and âPaper Figurine Substitutesâ to block the attacks of the Amons.
At the same time, the other Amons had succeeded in stealing the effects of the âeternal daytimeâ from Kleinâs main body.
However, in the next second, the effects of the âeternal daytimeâ were once again âstolenâ back.
This was the Lord of the Mysteriesâs control over powers from âHisâ pathway. Even though âHeâ had yet to fully revive, âHeâ had already begun this process.
Amonâs eyes flickered as âHeâ immediately gave up on Klein and focused on three matters:
Most of âThemâ continued to steal the effects of the âeternal daytimeâ and resist the Lord of the Mysteries, while a small number of âThemâ locked onto Antigonus, who was sitting on the huge stone chair. âTheyâ began to âStealâ the other partyâs state of eternal slumber.
In addition, all the Amons had dispelled the strengthening of seals, and even weakened them.
Klein, who was no longer being attacked by Amon, similarly didnât counterattack. His attention was focused on his âmain body.â
The awakening of the Lord of the Mysteries was the biggest problem!
At that instant, an illusory mark appeared on Kleinâs glabella. It was a strange door of light that was stained with hints of bluish-black. It constantly emanated a faint grayish-white fog.
Klein began to snatch control over Sefirah Castle from the Lord of the Mysteries, so that it wouldnât be so easy for âHimâ to make use of the level and power!
And with the Lord of the Mysteries not fully resurrected and having yet to accommodate The Foolâs Uniqueness and the corresponding Beyonder characteristics, he could effectively reduce âHisâ strength, allowing âHisâ failure rate to increase significantly and for the effects to be inferior.
With his addition, with his control over Sefirah Castle, the âFoolingâ received by the Trunsoest Brass Book immediately weakened. The chances of Amonsâ âTheftâ also increased.
In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, at the foot of the giant shadow formed by the ancient sun god, on the surface of the sea that was covered in all colors, words written in the most ancient language quickly appeared:
âThe revival of the Lord of the Mysteries failed due to many interferences.â
With this sentence forming, as Klein fought for control over Sefirah Castle, the Amons once again âStoleâ the effects of the âeternal daytimeâ effects that had augmented the Lord of the Mysteries.
Elsewhere, âTheyâ had also âStolenâ Antigonusâs state of eternal slumber.
Without any hesitation, the Amons transferred the state of âeternal slumberâ to Kleinâs âmain bodyâ and gifted it to the Lord of the Mysteries.
The ancient existenceâs aura immediately fell silent, but it quickly rebounded.
At this moment, the corresponding text appeared on the weakly-sealed Trunsoest Brass Book:
âResurrection of the deceased is prohibited here!â
Suddenly, the terrifying will in Kleinâs âmain bodyâ rapidly weakened, producing a strong urge to fall asleep again.
However, this will was so powerful that, even after a long period of time, it was unable to completely wear it down. Under these two restrictions, it was still tenacious and slowly recovering. It also attempted to use âTamperingâ and âFoolingâ to get out of the predicament.
Klein sensed that the other party was using Sefirah Castleâs power, so he immediately focused and interfered.
At the same time, the Evernight Goddess, who was floating above the ancient palace, slightly relaxed âHerâ control over Amonâs true body. âSheâ pulled back the bird-shaped, golden accessory and aimed its head downwards.
Inside the bronze eye of the bird-shaped, golden accessory, illusory layers of doors surged out, allowing a drop of colorless water that had a strong aura of stillness to drop onto Kleinâs âmain bodyâ in the ancient palace.
This was a drop of river water from the River of Eternal Darkness!
While the Evernight Goddess was doing this, Amonâs actual bodyâs attempt to escape by opening âdoorsâ also tacitly slowed down.
The drop of water plummeted at an extremely fast speed. The natural barrier formed by Earth Mother, and the portrait formed by the God of Steam and Machinery simultaneously pulled back to give way for it.
With a smack, the river water of the River of Eternal Darkness accurately dripped onto Kleinâs head and silently entered.
The aura of the Lord of the Mysteries, which was slowly growing, immediately receded. It stopped its fluctuation and fell into a state of eternal slumber.
However, this condition wasnât very stable, as if it could be broken at any moment.
At this moment, the Evernight Goddessâs empty hand pulled out a gigantic sword from the void.
The swordâs surface was covered with orange-red light as it exuded the dawn of twilight, the aura of decay.
This was the symbol of the Twilight Giant.
The Evernight Goddessâs arm that was covered with short black fur extended, striking down with the exaggerated sword.
âSheâ had always kept some energy as though prepared to deliver this moment!
In the strange sound of the void shattering and decaying, the sword that was covered with the light of twilight slashed through the dome of the Antigonus palace, causing the hanging corpses to drop to the ground.
Right on the heels of that, it struck Kleinâs âmain body,â which had yet to escape the state of eternal slumber.
The portion of the awakening of the Lord of the Mysteries rapidly vanished, and the body began to wane uncontrollably. It broke down along with The Foolâs Uniqueness and the two sets of Sequence 9 to 1 Beyonder characteristics in his body. They also collapsed and gathered together.
Upon seeing this, Klein followed his plan without any thought. He used Sefirah Castle to pull down a quarter of the fog of history and enveloped it.
Amidst the grayish-white fog, The Foolâs Uniqueness and the Beyonder characteristics fully converged.
They frantically absorbed the fog of history around them, turning into a shapeless and dark liquid.
This blob of liquid stretched out as though it was forming a strange, translucent hooded cloak or a person whose internal organs and flesh were emptied out.
The Foolâs potion
The Amons reached out âTheirâ right hands at the same time in a bid to âStealâ the potion.
