Bayam, inside the Church of Poseidon.

Alger Wilson had just returned to his room after celebrating mass when he saw a figure appear next to the window.

That was Gehrman Sparrow wearing a top hat and a windbreaker.

Without waiting for Alger to speak, Klein took two steps forward and said solemnly:

"I am here at the order of Mr. Fool."

He habitually plays the role of "secret attendant".

Alger immediately lowered his head and pressed his right hand on his left chest and said:

"Praise Mr. Fool."

Klein nodded slightly and raised his hand to take out an item from the pile of debris in Sefirah Castle.

A short staff made of bones suddenly appeared in Alger's eyes.

The top of its staff is inlaid with tiny blue-green gems, some of which are stained with dark black, and some of which are covered with morning light; it is surrounded by countless pure light spots, from which illusory and ethereal prayers emanate, layer upon layer, showing their sacredness.

Alger's pupils suddenly dilated, revealing a hint of greed that could not be suppressed.

As a Sequence 4 Demigod of the Sailor Path, he was extremely certain that the bone scepter before him was the symbol of the identity, status, and power of the Sea God.

While enduring the slight dizziness brought on by the prayer, he cast his gaze towards the World Gehrman Sparrow, waiting for the servant of the god to speak.

Klein raised the Poseidon Scepter with one hand and said solemnly:

"This is Mr. Fool's gift and trust, and also a reward for you protecting a large number of believers.

“No matter what happens in the future, I hope you can always follow Mr. Fool’s instructions and do your best to complete the tasks He gives you.”

...Alger keenly heard some hidden meaning.

He suspected that Mr. Fool would encounter something that would cause him to be injured and fall into low point.

Thinking that he had already left the Church of Storms and had no way back, Alger pressed his right hand against his left chest and responded loudly:

"Only follow Mr. Fool!"

Seeing this, Klein nodded secretly, and then repeated what he said to Miss Justice and Miss Judgment.

This actually made Alger feel relieved. After all, it was better to know what might happen in the future than to have no idea at all.

Without hesitation, he repeated what he had just said with great solemnity.

Klein then handed him the Poseidon Scepter:

"First, you should get used to this seal and the daily life of the Sea God. Once you have digested the 'Disaster Priest' potion, you can use it to mix potions. This early role-playing can make the promotion much easier."

In fact, Klein could now undo the "grafting" and transfer the concept of Poseidon that pointed to himself and "Source Castle" to Alger, allowing him to directly become half a Poseidon, so that he could better adapt to this identity and better play the role in advance.

But considering that after accommodating the uniqueness of The Fool, enough anchors will be needed to balance the will of The Celestial Lord to further revive, and Poseidon's followers are indispensable, Klein decided to wait until his condition is truly stable before completely transferring Poseidon's related matters.

Today, Alger is more like a servant who holds power on behalf of the gods, helping them listen to and respond to prayers, but he does not have the corresponding anchor and identity. The "master" of the Poseidon's scepter is still Klein, and it still points to him. This is the magic of "grafting."

Alger suppressed his excitement and joy, responded sincerely to Gehrman Sparrow, and took over the Scepter of Poseidon.

Then, he asked carefully:

"What are the negative effects of this seal?"

"Mr. Fool has already done some sealing, and the negative effects of the Seagod's Scepter have been greatly reduced," Klein said simply. "It will only make the holder a little more irritable and put the soul in a certain state of confusion. In addition, it will drain the blood of surrounding creatures once a month. You can fly to the sea or an uninhabited island in advance."

Fortunately... Alger secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask what extraordinary abilities the scepter in his hand had.

After giving a brief description, Klein disappeared from the spot.

…………

Above the gray fog, inside the ancient palace.

After completing the additional preparations, Klein sat on the Fool's chair, materialized a piece of parchment and a dark red round-bellied fountain pen, and analyzed the possible developments of going to the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains and facing the ancestors of the Antigonus family:

"If everything goes well and we enter the final stage of accommodating the uniqueness of The Fool, the Goddess will certainly lift the secrecy, because only in this way can that area interact with reality, and only in this way can fate communicate with each other, achieving the effect of fooling people.

"From Mr. Men's deification ceremony, the movement of accommodating uniqueness must not be too small. Once it is no longer secret, this matter will definitely be noticed by other gods. Moreover, the beings who care about this matter must have been watching the main peak of the Honachis Mountains recently. If there is any change there, they will know it immediately.

“Under such circumstances, there will undoubtedly be interference, sabotage, help, and support, and it is important to figure out who the enemy is and who the friend is, otherwise it will be impossible to make targeted preparations.

"The goddess is definitely on my side. If she were an enemy, I would have been hidden countless times and I would never have been able to grow to this level. Simply put, if she wanted to sell me, she would have had many opportunities before, and I could have gotten a very good price. Moreover, for her, supporting anyone to become the 'Lord of Mysteries' would not be a substantial hindrance to her, and she could decide based on her preferences. So far, Adam has not been able to bypass the seal and obtain the 'River of Eternal Darkness'.

"The ones who least want Amon to become the 'Lord of Mysteries' are the 'Eternal Blazing Sun', the 'Lord of Storms', and the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'. If anyone tries to destroy my ritual to contain the uniqueness of the 'Fool', they will undoubtedly help me and provide direct assistance.

"Except for these four true gods, the remaining Sequence 0s are:

'Dreamer' Adam and 'True Creator' are Amon's fathers, so the chances of them helping him are definitely higher than just watching; 'Mother Earth' has bet on me through Emlyn, but it doesn't mean she will help me at the critical moment. For her, without interests involved, patiently waiting for the result may be the best choice; 'Original Witch' is in a strange state, and she may make any choice; 'God of Steam and Machinery' has an ambiguous attitude, and it is more likely that he will be neutral or make a private deal with Amon and Adam. I don't have the chips to impress him.

"Besides these true gods, among the less common conscious beings at or near Sequence 0:

"The 'Lord of the Abyss', also known as the 'dark side of the universe', is suspected to have been corrupted by the 'Mother Tree of Desire'. It only occasionally responds to the prayers of the Blood Worship Cult and has not exerted influence on the real world for a long time. Similarly, the situation of the 'Bound God' is similar.

"What they will do depends only on the thoughts of the Mother Tree of Desire, and for the outer gods, postponing the birth of the Lord of Mysteries should be a consensus. Under this premise, preventing me from accommodating the uniqueness of the Fool will only put me at an absolute disadvantage in the competition with Amon, and the game will be decided quickly.

"The most likely strategy of the Mother Tree of Desire is to acquiesce, or even help me accommodate the uniqueness of The Fool, so that the balance between Amon and I will no longer be tilted. After that, it will repeatedly destroy our tendencies and attempts to converge, delaying the birth of the Lord of Mysteries until the end of time.

"The Red Angel's evil spirit has definitely not recovered to the level where it can get involved in such matters. The Hidden Sage is very mysterious, and it is difficult to guess what He is thinking, but He should know that I am hostile to Him..."

After analyzing this, Klein made a summary:

"Friends: 'Goddess of Night', 'Lord of Storms', 'Eternal Blazing Sun', 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom';

“Enemies: ‘Dreamer’ Adam, ‘True Creator’, ‘Error’ Mr. Amon;

"The ones that lean towards me among the neutral ones are: 'Mother Earth', 'Dark Side of the Universe', 'Bound God';

"Neutral ones lean towards Amon: 'Hidden Sage';

"Ambiguous ones in the neutral category: 'Original Witch', 'God of Steam and Machinery'."

"Well, regardless of how far Adam and the True Creator have merged, let's assume the worst-case scenario and regard them as the Ancient Sun God, as dual-path Sequence 0 True Gods... The goddess has the uniqueness of the Twilight Giant and the God of Death. Although she can't contain them, she should be able to gain some initial control with the bird-shaped golden ornament as a medium. Even if she can't match the Ancient Sun God, she can definitely hold him back...

"Amon also calculated according to the dual-path Sequence 0. At least two of the three 'Storm Lords' must be separated to have a chance of stopping him... From the surface, I still have a certain advantage..." Klein looked at the contents listed on the paper and muttered to himself while concentrating on thinking.

However, this advantage does not take into account neutrals.

Klein tapped the edge of the mottled long table and considered what might be the worst possible scenario:

The "Original Witch", "Hidden Sage", and "God of Steam and Machinery" all chose to help Amon based on their own under-the-hood transactions or their own likes and dislikes.

In this way, even if the "Mother Goddess of the Earth" joins the battle, Klein's side will be at a disadvantage: the "God of Steam and Machinery" cancels out the remaining one of the five paths of omniscience and omnipotence, the "Original Witch" holds back the "Mother Goddess of the Earth" who has just regained the uniqueness of the "Moon", and the "Hidden Sage" faces the "Dark Side of the Universe" and the "Bound God" that have been eroded by the "Mother Tree of Desire" - the power that the Outer Gods can infiltrate is very limited, and the "Hidden Sage" is very likely to gain an advantage.

Moreover, this kind of offset is an ideal calculation. In the actual scene, in such a chaotic situation, Amon, who is in charge of "errors", can play many tricks. It is possible that he can find the weak point at once and bypass the obstruction directly, making Klein's ritual invalid and out of control on the spot. In addition, some gods who support Klein on the surface may turn to help Amon for reasons that he has no way of knowing now.

As for the sealed objects that could change the balance of power between gods, Klein didn't know much about them and couldn't analyze them.

"Oh, I didn't expect that there would be a day when I could fleece the Mother Tree of Desire. Well, I have to make some preparations for the worst-case scenario to prevent things from really developing in this direction." Klein put away the papers and pen in front of him and cast his gaze on a specially marked prayer light spot.

His figure then disappeared inside the "Source Castle" and appeared on Bernadette's "Dawn".
