When he discovered that the "Dark Angel" had awakened, Klein's heart only tightened and he was full of vigilance, but he did not feel too panicked or nervous. After all, he had preliminarily confirmed that the real "Dark Angel" had returned to the body of the ancient sun god. After being betrayed by the "Lord of Storms", "Eternal Sun", and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", he was reborn on the corpse with negative and extreme emotions, and evolved into the "True Creator". He did not return here, and what remained was at most some spirit and will.
Moreover, he had just had a relatively normal exchange with the remaining spirit of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel, and did not sense any obvious hostility from the other party.
But after the Dark Angel opened her eyes, the elder of the Six-Man Council of Silver City, Lovia, lost control without any resistance and turned into a flowing shadow and eyes hidden behind the shadow curtain. Klein couldn't help but dilate his pupils and raise the corners of his mouth. A strong fear and despair surged in his heart, as if he was watching himself fall into the abyss without a life-saving straw to grab.
Just by waking up from a deep sleep, without using any extraordinary abilities or displaying the form of a mythical creature, a Sequence 4 demigod of this path lost control on the spot. What kind of person is this and how terrifying he is!
At this moment, all that came to Klein's mind were the titles he had been mumbling in his mind:
God’s left hand, the vice-lord of heaven, the king of angels among the kings of angels!
It’s not that Klein has never dealt with the Angel King. On the contrary, he has frightened the "Red Angel" Medici, made a deal with the "Angel of Fantasy" Adam, and got the key to enter this palace from the "Angel of Wisdom" Herabergen. He has obtained the potion formula from the "Pure White Angel" Osekus, used the real name of the "Angel of Wind" to help himself, and cracked the "Cycle of Fate" in front of the "Angel of Fate" Ouroboros. He has fought wits and courage with the "Angel of Time" Amon many times. He can be said to be the one who has had the most interactions with the Angel Kings below Sequence 0.
However, in most of these interactions with the gods, he either did not fight with the Angel Kings, or relied on the power of "Source Castle" to escape instantly or cut off contact. He never really faced the Angel Kings and the gods. The only exception was that time when he was captured by the "Time Angel" Amon and fought with him many times in just a few days.
But at that time, it was mainly a battle of wits rather than fighting. The "Angel of Time" Amon showed more of the characteristics of the "God of Cunning" and did not fully reveal the status and strength of the Angel King until the last moment. He was blocked by the "Goddess of Night" using the young son of the Giant King, and did not directly harm or affect Klein.
Even so, when the "Angel of Time" Amon occasionally showed his prowess along the way, he easily dealt with the "strongest helpers" summoned by Klein - that was something Klein could not reproduce now, and it surpassed his own peak strength. After all, if he wanted to summon Zaratul's historical pore image again, he would be in danger.
At this moment, Klein, Colin Iliad, and "Sun" Derrick were facing the King of Angels among the Kings of Angels, the malicious Vice-King of Heaven, and the Left Hand of God who could cause a Sequence 4 Demigod to collapse and lose control in just a moment.
Such an enemy, with such status and such strength, how could they not despair.
For a moment, Klein wanted to give up Derrick and the Chief of Silver City, and with the help of the summons from Sefirah Castle, he could return to Above the Gray Mist with just a thought, and rely on the last miracle and the Deception Bullet to be resurrected outside the God-Forsaken Land.
As his thoughts raced, Klein raised the Star Staff in his hand.
At this moment, the shadow that Lovia had collapsed into stopped flowing, and a low voice full of pain but not madness came out:
"He is not that strong!"
As he spoke, the curtain-like shadow parted, revealing what was hidden behind it.
It was a mass of wriggling flesh nearly two meters high, with a pair of light grey eyes protruding from the top, as if gazing at the entire world with a remnant of obvious rational light.
From the rest of this mass of flesh and blood, arms, forearms, thighs, and calves without skin and flowing with sticky blood grew out, either supporting the body or shrinking layer by layer to the "chest", tightly hugging a milky white, relatively large human skull.
The shadow curtain fell again, covering the mass of flesh and blood, and became "her" cloak.
Then, a shadow wearing silver full body armor, about five or six meters tall, appeared in front of Lovia.
This is the "Silver Knight" she herds.
She can also control herself and launch an attack against the "Dark Angel" Sasriel.
After seeing this scene and hearing what Lovia said, Klein and Colin Iliad didn't need her to explain too much and quickly understood what she meant:
The "Dark Angel" Sasriel was not as strong as he appeared. He just used the "fallen" authority and the influence of the higher-level people on the lower-sequence people in this path to make Lovia's body fall, betray, and collapse on the spot, while her own spirit remained sober and rational, and could still control her own power to a certain extent.
Of course, as her body gets out of control, a large amount of pollution will corrode Lovia's soul, and it won't be long before she goes completely crazy, unless the battle can be resolved quickly and in time, and a way can be found to transform her into an evil spirit and survive in another form.
With this understanding, combined with the first "blasphemous slate" he had just seen and his own guesses, Klein had a preliminary assessment of who the enemy he was facing was:
He is the product of the spirit, will, and breath left by the "Dark Angel" and the power of the "Sea of Chaos" brought by the first "blasphemous slate". Perhaps he has a little bit of "original", that is, the awakened consciousness of the original creator, a small amount of crazy consciousness full of evil thoughts!
This is equivalent to an alternative evil spirit, I don’t know if it can be considered a complete angel.
This may be the reason why high-ranking beings such as the "True Creator", the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", and Amon's brother do not enter the Giant King's Palace in person - once you get close to the "Origin" and the "Chaos Sea", the higher the sequence, the more dangerous it is!
At the beginning, when Amon, known as the "Error", used his clone to ambush Klein in Chernobyl, he did not dare to really enter the "Chaos Sea". He just climbed down the cliff and hid near the "Chaos Sea", pretending that he came out of it, otherwise this might affect his original body.
However, the sequence was too low, and it was unable to resist the erosion accumulated over two thousand years that rushed out after the door of the Giant King's residence was opened.
Even if those high-level beings carefully selected suitable Sequence 3 and Sequence 4 Demigods to indirectly help them defeat the impact of the erosion and enter the dormant place hidden in the shadows, without the breath of "Source Essence" to counter the negative effects of the leaked power of the "Chaos Sea", they would not be able to truly get close to the remains of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel and obtain the first "Profane Slate".
Therefore, the "True Creator" repeatedly tolerated Klein, only looking for opportunities to corrupt him and force him to meet the "Dark Angel" Sasriel, because he was a unique candidate.
By the same token, gods and angel kings who cared about this matter, such as Herabergen, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and Adam, the Angel of Imagination, all made some arrangements around Klein and gave him certain gifts.
Without hesitation, Klein, who had already raised the Star Staff, quickly sketched out a picture in his mind, while Colin Iliad took a step forward and bent his back.
The body of the Chief of the Silver City swelled rapidly, once again revealing the incomplete form of a mythical creature. He became a "Silver Knight" five or six meters tall, covered in silver armor, and holding two giant Dawn Straight Swords.
Derrick was a step slower than the two experienced demigods and quickly spread his arms as if to embrace the void in front of him.
At this moment, two balls of dark flames burned in the eyes of the awakened "Dark Angel" Sasriel.
He, who was about the same height as the giant, lowered his left arm, pressed the armrest with his palm, and slowly stood up. The gorgeous accessories on his body fell one by one, and the black wings behind him unfolded layer by layer.
During this process, the shadowy "cloak" outside the squirming mass of flesh and blood that Lovia had turned into came to life and suddenly tightened inwards, binding her firmly in place.
At the same time, in front of the black robe of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel, which was wrapped in silver silk threads and engraved with mysterious patterns, one silver-white electric snake after another leaped out of thin air, grew rapidly, and entangled with each other with crackling sounds. They extended forward rapidly and evolved into a gorgeous sea of thunder, trying to submerge the entire Shadow Palace.
when!
An illusory bell sound came from the long history, echoing melodiously inside the Shadow Palace.
A mottled, ancient stone clock appeared in front of Klein. Its dial was divided into twelve unequal areas by gray and black. Each area contained a different, mysterious, and asymmetrical symbol.
The three pointers of different lengths, which seemed to be made of "time worms", jumped lightly.
When the bell rang again, the rapidly spreading sea of lightning in the Shadow Palace showed an obvious stagnation.
Klein successfully used the "Star Staff" to reproduce the extraordinary abilities of the "Angel of Time" Amon!
And the effect was much better than his previous attempt.
This made him wonder whether he had obtained permission from the "God of Fraud" or even directly received a certain "blessing".
It doesn’t mean that simply simulating and reproducing Amon’s extraordinary abilities will attract His attention, but this Angel King is almost equal to the “uniqueness” of the “Thief” path, the master of the corresponding field, the holder of the corresponding authority, and can make certain adjustments to certain abilities in advance, add certain things, or delete certain things.
It seems that Amon is also looking forward to Klein entering the Giant King's residence and meeting the "Dark Angel" Sasriel, so he adjusted some of the extraordinary abilities in his own field in advance and reduced the "authority" in certain aspects so that simple simulation and reproduction can also achieve better results.
Taking advantage of the pause in the sea of lightning, the "Silver Knight" spirit driven by Lovia and Colin Iliad simultaneously inserted their giant swords into the ground, creating two invisible barriers, and Klein's figure faded and disappeared on the spot.
