Chapter 100 Behind the Door



Because of the previous exploration of Silver City, Klein knew which places were dangerous and how to avoid them. It didn't take long for him to follow the path, pass through the "Decay Forest", "Desolate Tunnel", and the ancient elevator to reach the place where the guards lived.

After waiting for a while, until the "curtain" above the gray fog split in two and the "Mysterious Attendant" extraordinary characteristic was separated, Klein reached out and dragged out his past self.

——He didn’t know whether other divine kingdoms would be isolated from the mist of history, but at least the “Giant King’s Court” that had lost its master and had no one to maintain it did not hinder his attempts.

“Unfortunately, this matter involves a very high level, and the divination cannot produce any results. Otherwise, I would feel more at ease…” Klein shook his head and muttered to himself silently.

He did not rush into the mist of history. Instead, he took out two items from his arms and handed them to his projection.

One of them was a dark black wooden box, which contained the ashes of the "Giant Guardian" Groselle.

Klein never forgot his promise.

He originally wanted to wait for the little "Sun" to explore the "Giant King's Court" for the second time, and then give Groselle's ashes to him and ask him to help bury it. However, due to various things, Klein himself came directly to the God-forsaken Land and entered the "Giant King's Court".

As for the ascetic Snowman's ashes, Klein planned to scatter them into the golden ocean when he left the God-forsaken Land - the ocean was filled with the blood of the ancient sun god.

After giving out the urn and the black iron key from Vice Admiral Iceberg, Klein followed his usual practice and jumped into the fog. He ran wildly to the fragments of light before the First Epoch, allowing his consciousness to naturally transfer to the summoned projection.

This projection was not holding the "Star Staff" but only wearing the "Creeping Hunger". Because it was still a long distance from here to the palace where the Giant King lived, and there were many giant golems blocking the way, Klein could not guarantee that he could reach his destination within five minutes.

Then, he made the glove on his left palm become transparent, and he disappeared from the spot.

The next second, Klein appeared outside the guard's residence holding a giant black iron key, but he did not "teleport" too far.

“Well, inside the ‘Giant King’s Court’, most of the forces have obviously declined… Only the guards recognized by the Kingdom of God can perform at a relatively normal level? Uh, extraordinary abilities like ‘teleportation’ are also subject to additional suppression. I can only ‘flash’ within a smaller range… It seems that even if I summon the ‘Star Staff’, I can’t directly descend to the outside of the Giant King’s palace through the corresponding scene outlined in my mind… It is worthy of being the former Kingdom of the Ancient Gods…” Klein carefully examined the impact of the environment.

After making a preliminary assessment, he turned around and walked back into the guard's residence, opened the wooden box in his right hand, and with a solemn expression, scattered Groselle's ashes to every corner.

According to the images he saw in Groselle’s dream, this guardhouse was where the giant had lived for a long time. It was the “home” that impressed him the most and that he missed the most.

One can imagine that during that period of time in ancient times, Groselle and other rational "giant guardians" who came countless generations later rested here, played around, exchanged rumors, discussed music, and figured out fun ways to play games. They didn't have to worry about food or illness, and lived happily every day...

As Klein's hands shook, the dust flew and landed on the walls, the ground, the bedside, the tables and chairs, and the stone pillars.

The orange light outside the window shines eternally, making everything seem peaceful.

When Klein scattered the last bit of ashes, the dusk suddenly became a little thicker, allowing the dust in different locations to blend into the orange and become part of the kingdom of God.

Klein closed his eyes, as if he could sense Groselle's joy.

A wanderer who was forced to leave his hometown for more than three thousand years finally returned to the place he missed day and night.

The light of dusk softened, making Klein feel that he was no longer so repelled.

“Eh… It’s equivalent to being recognized to a certain extent. I’ve become a partially accepted guard.” Klein spread his spirituality and confirmed the changes.

He did not stop, and used the "Creeping Hunger" and the road discovered by the Silver City Exploration Team last time, constantly "flashing", sometimes detouring, sometimes dragging out the "Darkless Cross", and passed through the conspiracy hall relatively without encountering any difficulties. He came to the residence of the Giant King and saw a railing composed of a row of huge stone pillars on the left. Beyond the railing was the diffuse orange-red cloud and the gently surging deep blue sea.

After taking a deep breath, Klein returned to the hall he had just come out of. He reached out and dragged out Enuni, the secret doll that once belonged to him but had not yet been "parasitized" by Amon.

Even if he used historical projection, he didn't want to open the door himself!

Glancing at the slightly dazed Enuni, Klein handed the giant black iron key tucked under his armpit to him, and guided him to leave the hall, walk along the handrail made of stone pillars, and arrive in front of the tallest and most magnificent building inside the Giant King's Court.

The dusk light there seemed to be substantial, covering the surface of the palace and bringing a strong sense of decay, as if everything in the world was about to end.

On both sides of the palace, there is a spire on one side and a round tower on the other side. The main entrance is gray-blue in color and is covered with symmetrical and mysterious symbols. The overall height is far more than ten meters.

On the left side of the door, three or four meters high, there was a dark hole, about the size of an adult's fist.

Enuni stared for a few seconds, then raised the black iron key that looked like a lyre and placed it towards the deep hole in front of him.

They fit so well that there is not even a gap.

As the giant black iron key sank into the deep hole, Klein in the nearby hall held his breath, ready to eliminate his own existence at any moment.

With a thud, the black iron key in the hand of the secret doll Enuni touched the bottom.

It suddenly became soft, as if it had merged into the hole, and emitted one gray-blue light after another.

The various symbols, logos and patterns on the double doors lit up and stood out.

All of this light quickly intertwined together and pressed heavily inwards, causing the gray-blue palace main door to slowly open.

The gap in the door was getting bigger and bigger, and Enuni's eyes suddenly reflected a surging, dark, sticky, and illusory ocean.

Not good... Klein's heart moved, and a strong premonition of danger emerged in his mind.

Without any hesitation, his consciousness returned to his body, severing the connection with the pore image of his own history.

The next second, his vision suddenly darkened and he felt a sharp pain in the left side of his head, as if someone had stabbed it with a red-hot iron rod and was stirring it continuously.

At the same time, he heard indistinguishable whispers in his ears, which seemed to come from an age even older than the ancient times.

Klein's expression instantly twisted, looking extremely ferocious.

He could still maintain his sanity, but he no longer had the energy to stay in the fragments of history.

Silently, Klein landed back in the guardian's residence of the Giant King's Court. With a thought, he was about to enter the gray fog.

——Before planning to do such a dangerous thing, he undoubtedly found reasons and excuses to arrange for the members of the Tarot Club to pray in order to awaken the autonomous "summoning" ability of "Source Castle", so that he could return to the gray fog without having to walk four steps backwards and recite spells in times of crisis.

However, as soon as Klein's spirit saw the gray mist and heard the familiar roar, it felt the rejection of the "Source Castle". It didn't know whose order it received, but it actually blocked Klein from entering.

This... Klein was shocked to find a black shadow passing by him and heading straight for Sefirah Castle!

This is not Amon, but a shadow with the same aura as his own!

Subconsciously, Klein reversed his influence on the "Source Castle" and expressed his rejection.

Then, he succeeded, and the shadow was also blocked in the gray mist.

Then, he and the shadow fell back into the real world at the same time.

After his spirit returned to his body, Klein bent his back in unbearable pain, like a curled-up shrimp.

With a bang, the half-high silk hat on his head fell to the ground.

After several seconds, Klein finally recovered, slowly straightened up, and cast his gaze towards a glass window made of orange gemstone.

The window vaguely reflected his current appearance:

With the bridge of the nose as the dividing line, the right side of the face looked normal, but on the left side, countless things were crawling in and out.

Klein's eyes narrowed slightly.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and regained control of the "Joker".

A clear picture of him appeared in his mind:

Wearing a black windbreaker, with black hair and brown eyes, Gehrman Sparrow had sharp features. The right side of his face was normal, but the left side had become translucent, made up of twisted worms.

Looking down, his neck was in a similar state, as was the rest of his body covered by clothing.

On the verge of losing control...hiss, I need to fight against the strong tendency of madness...why, why is this happening? Klein suddenly felt something in his heart, and instinctively lowered his head and looked at his feet.

There was nothing there, missing the shadow that should have been there:

The orange light of dusk shone in from the window, but failed to cast any shadow next to Klein.

“Haha, I understand.” Klein bent his back and laughed uncontrollably.

He suspected that the "sea water" gushing out of the Giant King's palace not only "flooded" his secret dolls and historical projections, but also used the latter to cut off his own shadow, causing his soul to lose its integrity and no longer be able to completely suppress the tendency to get out of control.

That shadow was a fraction of his size and could also affect Sefirah Castle, so neither side could get above the gray fog.

As long as we get rid of that shadow, the problem will be solved... Klein straightened his back at the right corner of his forehead.

At this moment, the orange-red light coming in from outside was dyed golden and became quite brilliant, making the entire "Giant King's Court" seem to have retreated from dusk to noon.

Klein's heart moved, and he looked out the window. A picture vaguely emerged in his mind:

In front of the tallest and most magnificent building of the "Giant King's Court", the secret doll Enuni stood there, facing the open door.

It was dark inside the gate and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Suddenly, Enuni turned around and looked down.

His face was covered with a shadow, and his hair turned dark black, falling to his shoulders and slightly curled.

Pairs of black wings spread out behind him.

In the nearby hall, a pure shadow swam out with its lower body pressed against the stone bricks and its upper body standing straight.
