Chapter 21 Induction



Seeing that Klein was speechless for a moment, Patriarch Larion of the Church of the God of War looked even more solemn:

"Moreover, the fall of the god is only temporary. He will eventually return and revive from within me."

...Klein frowned as he heard this. He didn't know whether the angel opposite him had too many anchors shaken, causing his mental state to become abnormal and would soon lose control, or whether he was too deeply influenced by the "God of War" and in a sense became the other party's "backup."

Not to mention the true gods of Sequence 0, even the Angel King and some angels are often dead but not yet in spirit!

"You should know that the end of the world is just a dozen years away. I don't think the God of War will be able to recover that quickly." Klein tried to wake him up with the cruel reality.

Larion snorted:

"You can never imagine the power of God."

He did not give Klein a chance to continue lobbying. He smiled slightly and said:

"In any case, I will not make a deal with you. Pray, pray to 'Night', pray to the gods you believe in to seal '0-02' and save you!

"And I can leave here in thirty or forty seconds at most."

Klein looked up at the "curtain" hanging from an infinite height, and without saying anything more, he let his spirit return to the library where the "Brass Book of Trunsost" was located.

"Have you thought of any solution?" he asked without any delay.

Arianna shook her head slightly and asked:

"What did Larion say?"

"He asked us to pray to the gods, asking them to seal '0-02'..." Klein was speaking when he was suddenly stunned.

Larion's words just now seemed to be harmless, but they inadvertently revealed a very important message:

He believed that any god could seal "0-02", no matter who it was!

So how did the gods seal it? Through forcible suppression of the Sequence 0, or using the power that could destroy the world? Klein then had one question after another.

At this moment, the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" turned to a blank page, and one mercury word after another appeared on it - the language it used was the same as that on the first "Profane Slate", which seemed to be the source of all the languages ​​currently in use.

In a blink of an eye, these mercury words formed a new clause:

"The Beldan City Library is where the 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' is stored. It is a place that must be strictly protected. Any creature that enters here without permission from the 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' will be severely punished."

This is a higher level of punishment. Next, I might be sentenced to death... Klein's pupils dilated slightly, and he quickly deduced the most likely development.

However, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he smiled and said to himself devoutly:

“My wish is that the Beldam Municipal Library be reduced in size to the point where Ms. Arianna and I are now located.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, fulfilling his own wish.

With a snapping sound, the lawn corresponding to the Belldam City Library disappeared, the building shrank, and the walls retreated, and soon it was only one-tenth of its original size.

Klein and Arianna unknowingly "came" to the French window. Through the open window, they stared at the "Trunsoest Brass Book" on the rectangular table.

The distance between them and the target did not change at all and was still very close, but it was no longer within the range where they needed to be severely punished. It was just their first violation of the curfew and they were once again whipped by the invisible law enforcers.

After accumulating one desire after another to restore buildings, Klein has been able to create quite a miracle in this regard!

He did not make another wish, but continued to think and analyze the hidden meaning in the words of the Patriarch of the Church of the God of War:

"No, it shouldn't be suppressed by force by the status, otherwise my spiritual intuition would have told me the answer long ago, allowing me to draw the breath of 'Source Castle' and complete the seal...

"From the perspective of mysticism, this is understandable, because '0-02' is obviously related to a certain source substance, and it is difficult to suppress it by force with the status of Sequence 0...

"Relying on the power of the gods themselves? This may be possible, but it is probably not the real method, because Larion himself has mastered a method that can complete the seal without relying on the gods...

"What is so special about Sequence 0 gods? And how can angels indirectly achieve this specialness?

"The most special thing about Sequence 0 gods that I can think of right now is that they contain 'uniqueness'. This is something that I cannot summon from the cracks in history, and it truly possesses the characteristic of 'uniqueness'.

"But how can an angel indirectly simulate 'The One'?"

Klein's countless thoughts collided, sparking a lot of sparks, but he still couldn't figure out the key to the problem.

At this time, mercury words continued to seep out of the "Brass Book of Trunsoest", forming new articles to classify Klein and Arianna into the group that must be punished.

After Arianna observed silently for a while, she suddenly said:

"I will try to hide the soil under the table and let 0-02 fall into the center of the earth. You should be alert to prevent any accidents."

The "secret" soil... falling into the center of the earth... Klein was moved when he heard it, and thought this was a very good idea.

The "Trensost Brass Book" currently only prohibits "touching" and "changing its own state". The surrounding environment is not equivalent to its own state. In addition, the Beldan City Library is just not allowed to be entered without permission, which does not mean that Klein and Arianna cannot exert a certain influence on it.

When "0-02", an object that is not prohibited from leaving, passes through the hidden "soil" and falls into the center of the earth, it will lose its influence on the city of Beldan due to the distance exceeded, causing the rules it had previously established to become invalid, unless it further awakens or activates and makes a larger area its jurisdiction.

This way, Klein and Arianna would no longer be restricted by the rules and could seek help from the "Goddess of Night"!

But just when Arianna finally thought of a solution and was ready to implement the plan, the new clause was completely formed:

"The Beldan City Library is where the 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' is stored. It is a place that must be strictly protected. No creature or thing can cause any damage to it."

Sure enough, "0-02" also noticed this loophole... this loophole... Klein frowned slightly, and suddenly had an idea for the question he had been thinking about:

The special thing about Sequence 0 gods is indeed their "uniqueness", but when they sealed "0-02", they did not directly apply the authority and power derived from it.

They are most likely relying on the characteristic of "uniqueness" to induce "0-02" to formulate a series of contradictory rules, causing this sealed object to fall into a paradox or an endless loop!

Angels, saints, and even ordinary people can accomplish this on their own. The key is to come up with a paradox and induce it to occur.

As for the dead loop of "0-02" and how to seal it when preparing to repair the loophole, Klein currently has no clue and needs to observe it at that time.

How to create a paradox... Klein's mind quickly flashed through all the rules that "0-02" had established before and the purpose of issuing the corresponding rules.

In just a few seconds, he keenly grasped a point that might create an infinite loop, and quickly turned his head and said to Arianna:

"Ma'am, we won't destroy the city library. We will directly 'hide' the rest of Beldan, which will indirectly make it lose sufficient support and collapse on its own, falling into the center of the earth."

Arianna did not do as she was told immediately. Instead, she tilted her head and looked at Klein deeply.

"This will result in the death of a large number of civilians."

“When you have to choose between two dangers, you can only choose the lesser one.” Klein said with a serious expression.

Arianna did not respond and remained silent, as if she was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle or making corresponding preparations.

At this time, on the brass page that had just written two articles, new rules were born more quickly than before:

"Beldane is the city where the 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' is located. It is a truly holy place. No creature or thing can cause any kind of damage to it."

When he saw this clause, Klein was not disappointed. Instead, he curled up the corners of his mouth.

With a snap, he snapped his fingers, causing red flames to burst out from his pockets and quickly engulf him.

Just two or three seconds later, a stream of flames fell from the sky, and Klein jumped out of it, bringing someone with him.

That was one of the four extraordinary people he had rescued before, Byers, a native of Beldan!

“Go in and quickly flip through that brass book.” Klein pointed to “0-02” on the rectangular table and said to Byers calmly.

Byers didn't know what had happened, but he believed in this magical "magician" who fulfilled his two wishes. He felt that he had found a way to get the entire Beldan out of its predicament, so after taking a breath, he walked through the open floor-to-ceiling window and into the shrunken city library.

During this process, he did not suffer severe punishment, and was not even whipped!

Seeing this scene, the smile on Klein's face became more obvious.

A paradox occurred at “0-02”!

Because of the existence of Arrodes, the "Brass Book of Trunsost" can only make the most comprehensive prohibition, prohibiting any creature or thing from causing any kind of damage to Beldam.

As a city, Beldan’s definition is definitely not just about terrain and buildings, it must also include the people and citizens here.

In this way, if "0-02" punishes Byers, a citizen of Beldan, and causes him any damage in any sense, it will violate the rule just promulgated. If it does not punish him, it will violate the series of laws such as "prohibiting trespassing in the municipal library". Therefore, the "Trensost Brass Book" has entered a kind of vicious circle!

Of course, Klein believed that a paradox of this magnitude could soon be corrected through additional clauses. He only hoped that Byers could flip through the brass book before then and find clues to the seal from it!

"Always pay attention to the page that's open now. Once the clauses on it are about to take shape, come out immediately." Klein stared at Byers and "0-02" and spoke a warning.
