In an instant, Amon saw the gray mist and the ancient and majestic palace above.
As long as He reaches out His hand and passes through the final obstacle, He can truly touch the "Source Castle" and directly enter it, essentially stealing it.
But at this moment, a huge dark blue hand suddenly appeared above Amon's shadow, blocking his way into the "Source Castle".
Amon's shadow subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of his palm, and saw the Cyclops who had long been dead and was covered in rot and pus.
Bradl, who was called the 'God of Honor', still had no life in his exaggerated vertical eyes, and the gray-yellow curse mist continued to emanate from his body.
But unlike before, there were a number of almost unreal black tubes behind Him, extending to infinity, with no one knowing where they were connected.
Bang!
The dozens of meters tall blue-black giant instantly condensed a large sword composed of orange-red dusk light, held it in one hand, and slashed it fiercely at Amon's body standing on the edge of the deep ravine.
After wandering unconsciously for thousands of years, the youngest son of the Giant King, who died due to a curse, suddenly burst out with unimaginable power.
The "Dusk Giant Sword" pierced through the void and jumped out directly from the place where the "Time Angel" Amon was standing, tearing everything around it and turning into a storm that could destroy the wasteland.
Amon did not move and still stood there. No matter how raging the orange-red "blade" storm was, it could not hurt him at all.
He seemed to have taken advantage of some "mistake" in this world.
However, in this state, Amon could no longer transmit his own mutterings into Klein's mind, allowing Klein to finally gain a sense of peace.
Klein ignored his impending loss of control and regained some clarity amidst the clear, real, and overlapping prayers around him. He immediately changed his mind and resonated with the crimson "figure" at the position of the "Fool" above the gray fog, reestablishing contact.
He chose to return to "Source Castle" without hesitation!
At this time, Amon's attempt to sneak into the shadow above the gray fog was blocked by the blue-black palm of "God of Honor" Bradl, and he was unable to break through the huge obstacle in an instant.
The angel king wearing a crystal monocle opened his mouth at the same time as his clone and uttered a word:
"Night."
Yes, this is help from the "Goddess of Night", but it is definitely not without reason!
Although Klein was not sure about this, he had always kept it as one of his trump cards. He just thought it might not work and the probability was very low. He could only look forward to it as a ray of hope in the most desperate times.
After truly entering the God-forsaken Land and gaining space for independent thinking, he tried hard to find "resources" that could be used. Then, he remembered something.
The matter of the former chief of Silver City!
This "Demon Hunter" attempted to transition to Sequence 3 "Ferryman" on the "Death" pathway, but encountered a mutation and turned into a monster in the mausoleum he built.
This change was related to a bunch of illusory black tubes, and Klein had seen the same thing in the artificial death god of the Spirit Cult.
In other words, the mutation of the former chief of Silver City is likely related to the artificial Grim Reaper.
This indirectly illustrates a problem, that is, for some unknown reason, the ones who can exert influence on the God-forsaken Land include not only the "real creator", but also the artificial god of death who has initially "come to life".
And now the artificial god of death can be equivalent to the "Goddess of Night" to some extent!
Based on this reasoning, Klein suspected that the goddess could exert a lower-level influence on certain things in the God-Forsaken Land through the "uniqueness" of the "God of Death" path.
In addition, there were only three people directly involved in the matter of the former chief of the City of Silver. One was the current chief Colin Iliad, one was the demigod elder Waite Hillmon, and one was the "shepherd" elder Lovia. They were either Sequence 4 saints or important believers of the "True Creator". It was impossible for them to be "parasitized" by Amon without realizing it.
As for Derrick Berg, the only person who received feedback afterwards, he was not the target of Amon's "parasitism" because he was under the watchful eyes of the "Fool".
In other words, Amon was unaware of the key point that the mutation of the former chief of Silver City involved the black illusory capillary tube.
Therefore, even if He could guess through His grasp of the external situation that the "Goddess of Night" had obtained the "uniqueness" of the "God of Death" path, causing the "God of War" to react violently, He had no way of knowing that this would bring certain changes to the God-forsaken Land.
With this understanding, Klein did something consciously in this regard without much confidence:
In the city-state that believed in the Phoenix, he did not take away the remaining Beyonder Characteristics of the "Death God" Path, hoping to leave a signpost;
After summoning Zaratul's historical pore image, he did not hurry to commit suicide. On the one hand, he was afraid that Amon would still be able to stop it at that time, which would delay the rest of the arrangements. On the other hand, he wanted to inform the "Goddess of Night" of the specific situation by summoning the projection of Arianna, the "Servant of Secrets".
After doing these two things, Klein didn't know what the final result would be. He focused more on the fact that Amon's clone had already been replaced by his original body.
When they arrived at the final destination and saw the wandering corpse of the angel, Klein's heart moved, but he was distracted by Amon's introduction. It was not until then that he realized that the goddess had already used the "uniqueness" of the "God of Death" path to initially grasp the cursed youngest son of the giant king who had died thousands of years ago, and was patiently waiting for an opportunity.
The hidden power that filled the God-forsaken Land helped him hide the illusory black tube well.
Suddenly, in the ancient palace above the gray fog, at the top of the mottled long table, at the position of "The Fool", the sometimes twisted and sometimes scattered deep red "figure" finally took shape, revealing the appearance of Klein, a man with black hair and brown eyes who looked quite bookish.
Klein's consciousness and spirit returned to "Source Castle" with just a thought!
He immediately used the close connection between Sefirah Castle and his body, and the resonance amplified by the prayers of the Tarot Club members, to directly see himself losing focus and about to lose control, and saw the shadow of Amon who had just used "Error" to bypass the blue-black palm's obstruction.
Amon raised his head wearing a crystal monocle and made eye contact with Klein, who was sitting in the Fool's position.
Klein waved his hand and took the "Poseidon's Scepter" and raised it up.
The entire gray fog began to boil, and the entire "Source Castle" began to shake.
The tremendous and terrifying power gathered together and turned into a surging torrent of lightning. Under the illumination of the blue-green gems that lit up at the same time, it poured down madly, drowning Amon's clone and Klein's own body.
A low rumbling thunder roared, and the terrifying silver-white lightning tore through everything it covered.
Amon's shadow disintegrated, and Klein's body was destroyed.
He finally succeeded in committing suicide.
After completing this attack, Klein, who was high above the gray fog, immediately severed the connection between "Source Castle" and the real world to prevent Amon's real body from creating new accidents.
Then he began to wait for a "miracle" and "resurrection."
Next to the deep ravine with gray and white heavy buildings at the bottom, Amon's real body adjusted his crystal monocle and stole the curse that maintained the "existence" of Bradl, the youngest son of the ancient god.
The blue-black giant then rotted rapidly and quickly turned into bones. The illusory black tubes did not persist and directly retracted into the depths of darkness.
Amon, wearing a pointed hat and a classical black robe, stood there, raised his head, and stared into the air silently for several seconds, as if he was looking at the "Source Castle" through the mist of history.
Finally, He pinched the crystal monocle, and whispered to himself as He traced the corners of His mouth:
"interesting."
…………
In the ancient palace, at the top of the mottled long table, Klein sat in the seat that belonged to The Fool, carefully looking at the gray-white mist below.
He discovered that the extraordinary characteristics contained in his destroyed body had unknowingly entered the pores of history, combining with the projections of the "Spirit Worms" from the past, giving them substance.
As long as Klein's consciousness on the "Source Castle" is willing, these "soul bugs" can immediately drill out of the mist of history and reconstruct his body in the real world.
The "miracle" of "resurrection from the dead" is essentially a deep-level utilization of the power of the past.
"Miracles" are achieved with the help of the past and the future? Klein frowned slightly, trying to analyze where the "miracles" of the "miracles" of the "miracles master" came from.
After thinking for a few seconds, he quickly regained his attention and tried to revive on the "Source Castle", and then he discovered a problem.
That is, the body can only be resurrected in the real world, and must be within a certain range of the remains. As for the spirit, it can be reborn directly above the gray fog, but Klein's spirit was not destroyed and was sitting on the high-backed chair of The Fool.
"Getting help from the past is effective. The number of resurrections I'm using now is the amount I used up after becoming a 'miracle worker'... At the moment, it seems that there is only one time left. Hiss... Amon should be guarding my 'corpse' now. I have to find a way to get out of this predicament... His view of time is different from others. He is a very patient 'god of mischief'... Well, this state can only last for three days. After that, I won't be able to borrow power from the past to resurrect... If it doesn't work, I'll just give up my body and become a dead spirit!" Klein's thoughts raced. Although he was still a little troubled, he was already in the most relaxed state in recent days.
He finally got rid of that almost hopeless situation.
After looking at the high-backed chairs with lights on and the crimson stars that were expanding and contracting, Klein exhaled and leaned back in a relaxed manner, unconsciously revealing a slight smile.
“This is my anchor.”
Ps: This plot has finally come to an end. The origin of the whole story was actually when I was reading the Cthulhu mythology. When I saw the star return plot related to Cthulhu, I suddenly thought, it is always said that he is about to wake up, what if he has already woken up... It doesn’t matter if you don’t know about Cthulhu, just replace these three words with the evil god. Anyway, the corresponding gods are all settings that I redid myself.
