Silver City, top of the round tower.
Derrick Berg waited for a long time, but Mr. Fool didn't respond.
This made him a little flustered. He didn't understand what it meant and didn't know how to deal with it.
Mr. Fool is in a state where he can't respond to prayers? Well, we were told two days ago that next week's party was cancelled. This should be a sign... Derrick, remembering what happened before, barely calmed down his inner anxiety and tension.
It was no wonder that he had such a big reaction, because similar situations were recorded in the textbooks of Silver City:
The Creator who normally responded to his believers suddenly stopped responding one day and abandoned this land!
After a few seconds of silence, Derrick stood up, returned to the chief's room, and said to Colin Iliad:
“We still need to wait a few days.”
"Wait?" Demon Hunter Colin repeated the key word, frowning slightly.
To him, this was an unusual occurrence that seemed to symbolize a bad development.
Derrick resisted the instinct to scratch the back of his head and nodded with some difficulty:
"Yes."
The gray-haired Colin Iliad stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded slowly and said:
"Okay, you go back first."

In a two-bedroom rental house in the East District of Silver City.
Wrapped in thick clothes, Fors paced back and forth around the warm stove, a look of confusion written all over her face.
Finally, she turned her head and looked at Xiu sitting on the chair and said:
"Why hasn't Mr. World replied to me yet?"
"Maybe they were held up by something." Xio gave the reason he had thought of long ago, "Maybe Mr. Fool is not convenient to convey your prayers at the moment, so the meeting was suspended."
Fors nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Mr. Fool informed us that the gathering next week will be suspended temporarily, and it was decided in the middle of the week. Is this related to the matter of King George III?"
Thinking of Mr. World's ongoing investigation, Xio hummed and said:
"Very likely."
…………
In the God-forsaken land, in the dead silent city-state.
Amon, wearing a classical magician's black robe, led Klein into a relatively intact church.
The stone pillars here were tilted and several were broken. Dark red weeds grew out of the cracks on the tops, entwining the bird reliefs.
Klein, holding a leather lantern, looked around and confirmed that the residents of this city-state were not completely extinct. There were still a few survivors. They had somehow transformed into monsters in the depths of darkness. They were avoiding the dim light and surrounding the church out of sight, trying to attack Klein and Amon, two seemingly normal humans.
The reason why Klein was certain that those monsters were originally residents of this city-state was because their "spiritual lines" had some distortion, some were gray, some were twisted, and some were partially adhered. They were completely different from the monsters in other places and were closer to the feeling given by the corpses in the sarcophagus.
I don’t know what kind of despair and collapse made the remaining humans here choose this path... Perhaps the deepest despair is that there is no hope every day, and the situation around is getting worse and worse... Klein sighed and used this opportunity to adjust his mentality.
He is experiencing a situation where hope appears again and again, only to be rewarded with despair again and again.
Amon, wearing a monocle, walked along the edge of the light and came to the deepest part of the church.
As Klein approached, he saw a door covered in a pale white light.
"This city-state is actually divided into two parts, the light and the dark. They used certain abilities of the 'apprentice' path to hide some areas, and you have to go through a specific 'door' to enter." Amon raised his hand and pointed to the front.
The ability of a "mystic mage"? Klein nodded with understanding, indicating that he roughly understood what was going on.
Amon then said:
"Behind this door is the dark side of this city-state, and I can use it to connect with similar areas farther away and reach there directly, shortening our journey."
As expected of the incarnation of loopholes... Klein watched as Amon stretched out his left hand and pressed the door made of pale white light.
The light began to ripple, spreading rapidly in all directions, becoming more and more intense.
At this moment, a deformed monster hiding in the darkness and spying on the church shook violently and turned into Klein's secret puppet.
As early as twenty or thirty seconds ago, Klein had completed the initial control of it and deepened its influence, but it took until now to completely transform it.
Then, Klein and the secret doll reached out at the same time, and took advantage of the opportunity when Amon changed the direction of the "door" to grab an object respectively.
In Klein's hand was a crimson moon-shaped "Crimson Moon Crown" inlaid with scarlet gems, and in the puppet's hand was a brass-colored, simple-looking "Master Key"!
At the same time, they opened their mouths, made a "bang" sound, and used air cannonballs to push the "Crimson Moon Corona" and the "Master Key" towards Amon and towards the pale white light door.
The combination of these two items allows people to hear Mr. Door's cry for help, which means that Mr. Door's power can penetrate into the real world to a limited extent.
And this person is the controller of all the "gates" and is one of the beings who is most unwilling to see Amon become a "mistake" and control the "Source Castle"!
Klein didn't expect that the sealed Mr. Door could really hurt Amon. He just hoped to use it to interfere with the Angel of Time and create enough space for him to make other preparations.
Of course, if Mr. Door could cause the door to mutate, expand or distort the loophole created by Amon, and in turn affect the Angel King of the Thief's path and teleport him to a distant place, Klein would definitely thank Mr. Door sincerely for a week.
After the previous attempts, Klein realized where his biggest disadvantage was now. It was not that he was one level behind in the sequence or that there was an essential gap in level, but that he had lost the initiative and could not prepare properly. Every time he started to prepare, he would be interrupted or destroyed by Amon.
For a veteran "magician", an unprepared performance is often synonymous with failure.
If Klein could prepare in advance and quietly summon the historical pore projections of Mr. Azik, Renette Tinicole, and "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin, even if he couldn't solve the Sequence 2 Amon clone, he would definitely be able to create a very good opportunity to escape.
At this time, the "Crimson Moon Corona" emitting a tranquil glow and the "Master Key" with an ancient shape roared to the light gate.
The pale white light that made up the illusory door suddenly twisted, swallowed up the two objects, became slightly crimson, and collapsed into a vortex.
This vortex seems to have no bottom, like a huge eye.
Amon, who was about to turn around, paused slightly after being stared at by these eyes, as if he heard the call of an old friend.
However, the lag disappeared instantly, as if it had never occurred.
As Amon's gaze shifted to Klein, he suddenly lost six extraordinary abilities.
This includes controlling the "spiritual thread", summoning historical pore images, paper doll substitutes, manipulating fire, breathing underwater and softening bones.
Of course, the puppet's loss of these six extraordinary abilities did not affect Klein's subsequent operations.
The imperceptible pause just now allowed Klein to exchange positions with the secret doll in time!
He had come to the dark depths outside the church. The deformed monsters around him trembled together and became his secret puppets.
For targets that weren't even at Sequence 5, it only took Klein two or three seconds to turn them into puppets, and he had already begun a similar operation when he summoned the Crimson Moon Corona.
While Klein was enjoying the darkness without any scruples, trying to transform into a secret state or commit suicide successfully, he and the secret puppets reached out at the same time and grasped the fog of history.
This time, he divided the puppets into three groups, summoning Renette Tinicole, Mr. Azik and "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin respectively, to avoid the situation like last time where he finally succeeded but was stolen by Amon. With a similar arrangement, he might be able to get one or two left.
Of course, the premise is that Amon cannot steal images of multiple historical pores at once.
This point needs to be confirmed by Klein.
Klein's real body retracted his hand and grabbed nothing.
All the puppets that summoned the "Snake of Fate" failed, but two of the "Ancient Scholars" who summoned the "Archon of Death" and Renette Tinicole had their arms slightly tense.
Klein was delighted, and suddenly felt that this attempt might be able to be transformed into a real escape operation.
At this moment, a blazing, surging, and terrifying light burst out from the crystal monocle that Amon was wearing.
The entire city-state, as well as the surrounding valleys, hills and wilderness, were filled with pure and scorching sunlight. "Daytime" came again after thousands of years of absence.
Amon returned the "Daylight" stolen from the "God War Ruins"!
In such a "daytime", Klein not only felt as if his body was about to melt, but also heard familiar and crazy whispers in his ears, which were like steel needles that pierced into each "Spirit Worm".
This caused his mind to be filled with great pain, and the successful summoning of the secret dolls failed.
The "daylight" of the God War ruins contains the whispers of the "true creator"!
The deformed monsters that had been hiding in the depths of darkness, that is, the few survivors of the city-state, seemed to have regained their sanity for a short time. They stared at the "daylight" in a daze and could not help squinting their eyes.
Then, they rushed madly towards the source of the "daylight", and melted into ash one by one.
Far away from here, in the Afternoon Town Camp of Silver City, the guards on the barrier discovered one after another that a light different from lightning appeared in the northeastern sky, just like the scene when the sun is about to rise in the legend.
This scene lasted only a few seconds before it shattered and the sky returned to darkness.
As soon as Klein recovered from his mumbling, he saw Amon, wearing a pointed hat, standing in front of him.
The "Angel of Time" stroked his monocle and said with a smile:
“Well done.”
