After returning to Byers's home, without waiting for Roy and the others to ask anything, Klein pulled over a chair, sat down, and made a pious wish to himself:
“I want my spirituality restored.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, making his wish come true and restoring his spirituality to its original state.
Then, he stretched out his left palm, ready to end the maintenance of the historical projection of the "curtain", and then summon another one to continue to block the spiritual area corresponding to Beldan, so that the Patriarch Larion of the Church of the God of War would not have a chance to escape.
“There’s no need. If you miss this time, there will always be next time.” At this time, Arianna shook her head slowly, indicating that Klein did not need to summon the “curtain” from the Dark Wolf again.
The "Wish" ability has a limitation: the "Miracle Master" cannot fulfill multiple similar wishes of the same petitioner in a short period of time. In other words, in the next one or two hours, Klein can no longer restore his spirituality through this method of self-wishing.
Of course, for a qualified "Fortune Teller" angel, there are ways to circumvent this restriction. For example, he can let Pasha, Roy, Phil, Byers, and Arianna take turns to make a wish for Klein Moretti to recover his spirituality, and then fulfill their wish as a "miracle worker".
But the problem is that even if he can restore his spirituality so many times, he cannot maintain the "curtain" with the sequence 1 position for more than an hour, and "0-02" needs to wait for an hour to erase the rules and rewrite them.
Klein considered it for a moment, nodded slightly, and responded with a smile:
"Let's give it a try first. Anyway, I'm quite free now. I'll wait until I recover my spirituality for the last time before giving up. Well, this depends purely on the luck of the Patriarch. Maybe during this process, He loses control due to anxiety, irritability and tension."
As he spoke, Klein released the maintenance of the original "curtain" and stretched out his left hand tightly, dragging out a new "curtain" and making it appear in the spiritual world corresponding to Beldan City.
In the place where the colors were densely overlapping, Larion, who was wearing a black robe with white edges and a square hat, just felt the restrictions disappear and was about to shuttle away, but he saw a new "curtain" falling, isolating the area again.
The slight smile on his face suddenly froze.
Huh... After a few seconds, Larion exhaled slowly, adjusted his mental state, and continued to wait calmly.
In the next few dozen minutes, the Patriarch of the Church of God of War experienced the frustration and pain of having his hopes dashed several times just as they appeared.
He tried to find the pattern, tried to figure out the corresponding time interval, and seize the fleeting opportunity to break through the barrier at the moment when the old "curtain" disappeared and the new "curtain" had not yet appeared.
However, he eventually discovered that there was no pattern to the time interval. The blocker would not recover only when his spiritual energy was about to be exhausted. Sometimes, the opponent would recover much earlier.
If it weren't for the fact that Feysac hadn't forced its people to change their faith in the God of War, and the order that Larion had been declared apostate hadn't been widely spread, this earthly angel might have lost control on the spot.
As time passed, Larion once again felt the old "curtain" crumbling.
However, no new "curtain" was created this time.
He has finally reached his limit... Larion was overjoyed and did not bother to think about other problems. He rushed out of the collapsing prototype of the Kingdom of God without hesitation.
The next moment, He saw a headless woman with four blond, red-eyed heads and wearing a gloomy, complicated long dress, an unknown being wrapped in bandages and with yellow-brown liquid flowing all over its body, and many strange-looking but extremely powerful spiritual creatures...
The "curtain" that Klein summoned several times before were all images of the historical pores that had been infected with the aura of "Source Castle". Naturally, they could attract things that were sensitive to it. Even if Amon appeared in this team, he would not be surprised!
The slight smile on Larion's face froze once again.
…………
In Beldan City, in Byers's rental house.
Klein suddenly raised his head, looked up into the sky, and whispered to himself:
"It's still amazing..."
He then fell silent again until the "magic mirror" emitted a hazy light, reflecting the current status of the bulletin board.
The rules and regulations above are disappearing from back to front in the order in which they appeared.
This means that "0-02" begins to erase the previously established rules and prepares to start over again.
When the curfew was lifted, Klein, who was highly focused, immediately pulled Ms. Arianna and used the "flame jump" to appear outside the shrunken Beldan City Library.
At a glance, he discovered that on the brass page "0-02", the speed at which the rules were being erased had become extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, the only clause left in the second half was "The following rules are invalid."
Then, this clause also disappeared, and a new rule emerged without any pause:
"The 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' is the most precious thing. No creature or thing can touch it without its permission..."
Before the rule was fully demonstrated, Arianna appeared beside the rectangular table and touched the brass pages with her fingers.
With a click, the neck of the ascetic leader of the Church of Night suddenly tightened, as if he was hung by an invisible rope.
As an angel, He even had broken bones and difficulty breathing.
Hanging!
However, as Arianna's fingers slid over with some difficulty, the first rule of the freshman was erased by the "eraser" before it was fully revealed, and entered a "secret" state.
All rules formulated by "0-02" must be publicized or notified before they can take effect!
With a rustling sound, Arianna grabbed the "Trunsoest Brass Book" and threw it to Klein outside the French window.
Klein had anticipated all possible developments in the previous hour and had discussed them with Arianna. He was not nervous or panicked at all. While "0-02" was still in mid-air, he dragged himself out of the void wearing human leather gloves.
Then, he grabbed the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" and used his own historical projection to "teleport" away directly.
When his figure disappeared from the spot, Arianna fell back to the ground with a snap, leaving deep marks on her neck.
In just a few seconds, Klein, holding "0-02", appeared at the top of the main peak of the Honachis Mountains, and used the angel-level "spiritual vision" to see the ancient palace with collapsed walls, dilapidated, and shrouded in mist.
Without hesitation, Klein had his historical projection take over the "Brass Book of Trunsoest", "flash" to the main entrance of the palace, and reach out to push it open.
What appeared before his eyes was a hall with many corpses hanging. Each corpse was different. There were men and women, and their clothes were either gorgeous, simple, exquisite, or casual.
Behind each of these hanged figures, there is a transparent and smooth tentacle with complex patterns. They all come from the depths of the hall, from an ancient stone chair there.
On the huge stone chair, transparent and twisted worms huddled together, growing wildly, extending one strange tentacle after another around.
This is the half of the Fool from the Antigonus family, the half of the Fool that has gone out of control and gone crazy!
Sensing the opening of the door and the approach of Klein's historical projection, the group of worms left the stone chair and waved their slippery tentacles violently, causing them to rush towards the door frantically, as if affected by some invisible suction force.
Similarly, the tarot card with the image of Roselle the Fool and words written in starlight at the bottom of the stone seat also flew towards the door.
Just by seeing this scene, Klein's historical projection was about to collapse and disintegrate. Fortunately, he himself had no intelligence and was controlled by Klein's real body hiding in the distance. He did not suffer from confusion of thoughts or mental changes, nor did he stand still and be unable to make any moves.
Before it dissipated, the historical projection threw the "Brass Book of Trunsost" in its hand towards the horrific pile of worms.
The transparent and slippery tentacles sensed the danger and responded instinctively: they simultaneously wrapped around and bound the seal "0-02".
In such interference, in the invisible "strong wind", the "Fool" card arrived at the door before the strange tentacles.
Klein's historical projection had already collapsed. Seeing this, he mechanically stretched out his right hand, grabbed the "blasphemy card", and threw it behind him.
The next moment, the slippery tentacles that had been separated again extended to the door, but were blocked by the fog and unable to get out. They could only whip the barrier frantically.
The open door then closed little by little, hiding the scene.
Klein, who was hiding somewhere on the mountain, frowned slightly. He felt a mixture of joy and relief in his heart, but also a strong sense of doubt.
"In other words, I exchanged '0-02' for the 'Fool' card? The Goddess doesn't need me to go to Calderon to look for clues about the 'River of Eternal Darkness' for the time being?" Klein muttered to himself silently, walked out of the hiding place, came to a place not far from the ancient palace, bent down and picked up the "blasphemous card".
The face of this card shows Russell Gustav wearing a gorgeous headdress, colorful clothes, carrying a cane and luggage. His eyes are full of longing for the future, and a puppy follows him.
In the upper left corner of the card, a few words were outlined with brilliant starlight:
"Sequence 0: Fool!"
…………
Inside the ancient palace, the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" fell to the ground and opened itself to the first page of the second half.
New rules are constructed:
"…The 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' is the most precious thing. No creature or thing can touch it without its permission. Violators will be sentenced to death!
"…The status of the 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' cannot be changed in any way. Violators will be sentenced to death!"
As soon as these two rules emerged and before they were "informed" to the owner here, a line of words suddenly appeared between the first and second half:
"The following rules are invalid."
An hour later, the two rules were erased and new rules were written, but only two rules later, a clause "The following rules are invalid" appeared in front of them - "0-02" seemed to jump directly from a basically blank state to a state where the pages were filled.
Over and over again, the "Trendost Brass Book" fell into an endless cycle.
