Chapter 25: Change of Plan



On Amon's face with different "appearances", the monocles in different forms emitted pure light at the same time.

This was stolen by them from the depths of the ruins of the War of Gods. It originated from the "eternal day" effect of the ancient sun god. It can purify filth and evil things and awaken sleeping creatures.

They "gifted" this gift to Klein.

This, combined with the ability to manipulate the strength of the seal granted by the relevant authorities in the "Apprentice" field, is enough to break the eternal sleep state.

In an instant, the spiritual imprint of Antigonus and the will of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" in Klein's body all awakened. The feelings of madness, desolation, cruelty, bloodthirstiness, and coldness were like an invisible storm, raging in Klein's mind.

Almost at the same time, in the uniqueness of "the fool" that covered his face and had not yet been completely contained, the powerful will of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" suddenly opened its "eyes" like a terrible monster that had been sleeping in the darkness for thousands of years.

At this moment, the previous chaos and loss of control swept over again, but Klein did not panic. According to a backup plan, he calmly used his "grafting" ability to guide Antigonus's spiritual imprint to the will of the "God of Heaven" within the uniqueness of "The Fool", allowing them to collide again after being entangled for a thousand or two thousand years.

On the other hand, Klein relied on his self-awareness and the anchors from the followers of The Fool and Poseidon to proactively balance the part of the "Celestial Lord" will contained in the Beyonder characteristics in his body, just like when he separated the "Mysterious Attendant" puppet.

If nothing unexpected happens and things continue like this, there is a certain chance that Klein will be able to achieve a balance between the two sides, completely accommodate the uniqueness of The Fool, and enter the final stage of the ritual. However, how could there be no unexpected events when he is surrounded by the Amons?

Some Amons strengthened the seals of the "Brass Book of Trunsost" and the "Wishing Lamp" to counter the restrictions of the former. When some Amons gave "Eternal Day" to Klein, a small number of them locked onto Klein and "stole" him.

What they want to steal is the other person's clarity of mind.

Amons failed one after another, but in the end a few succeeded. They "stole" Klein's self-consciousness for the next two seconds.

Klein's thoughts suddenly became blurred. Without the spiritual imprint of Antigonus that he had guided, the two parts of the will of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" and the anchor from the believers suddenly became unbalanced, madly eroding, influencing, and polluting each other.

Everything became extremely chaotic, and the loss of control seemed irreversible.

Klein's body collapsed bit by bit, turning into a bunch of transparent, twisted worms, extending more slippery and evil tentacles.

At this time, the rules in the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" were erased and rewritten:

"No talking allowed here!"

"No attacks on each other are allowed here!"

Then, in front of these two rules, the familiar clauses appeared again:

"The following rules are invalid."

After the seal was strengthened, the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" seemed to have entered a new cycle, and the influence that the "Djinn" could exert became quite effective.

Klein regained consciousness quickly, but the situation inside his body was completely chaotic and out of control.

This made it impossible for him to sort out the different influences and find a new balance.

In other words, he will continue on the path of being out of control until he turns into a monster.

With almost no time to think, Klein relied on his instinct and experience to make the decision to activate the last set of plans.

He instantly gave up trying to save his internal condition and stopped focusing on this matter.

Not only that, Klein also let the "Mysterious Servant" puppet actively transform into a worm vortex, carrying the imprint of Zaratul's spirit, and throwing it towards the main body and melting into it.

He wants to make things even more chaotic!

However, Amon's clones would not allow him to make any attempts. Except for the part of Amon that fought against the "Wishing Lamp" and the "Brass Book of Trunsoest", the rest began to "steal" again, causing Klein's thoughts to fall into chaos again and again until he completely lost control.

Amon, who was wearing a postman's uniform, succeeded. However, what he "stole" was not Klein's sobriety, but a drop of fresh blood.

The blood immediately seeped into the palm of the postman Amon.

Immediately afterwards, the postman Amon's eyes turned crimson, and his stomach swelled up at an unimaginable speed and began to move.

It looked like He was pregnant with a child!

What He just "stole" was the "Original Moon", that is, the blood blessed by the "Fallen Mother Goddess"!

After Klein no longer focused most of his consciousness on balancing the spiritual imprint of Antigonus in his body and the revival of the will and anchor of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", he no longer had to passively endure it like before, and could barely make a certain response to Amon's "theft".

He used "grafting" to tamper with the part of the target that Amon "stole" and moved it to the inside of the Source Castle, to the pile of debris, and to the drop of blood blessed by the "original moon".

——This comes from the "Witch King" Karaman.

There is no doubt that there is a certain connection between Amon's clones, and none of them can reach Sequence 0. Therefore, when the postman Amon was contaminated by that drop of blood, the other Amons became confused. Some had bulging stomachs, some had crimson eyes, and some were holding invisible babies and spinning in circles...

This caused the rest of the "steals" to inevitably fail.

Klein seized this opportunity and, relying on his inability to maintain consciousness for too long, mobilized the power of the Source Castle, casting a shadow-like curtain over the entire ancient palace.

Once again, this place is kept secret.

Then, he ignored the spiritual imprint of Antigonus and Zaratul in his body, and the two parts of the will of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" that were beginning to merge, and let the clone standing not far away, with a blank face, stretch out his palm towards the original body.

Its five fingers quickly closed together and its wrist twisted quickly.

Because Klein's self-consciousness did not resist and even actively cooperated, the clone relied on the help of "Source Castle" after just a few failures and successfully stole the self-consciousness, destiny, anchor, and most of the identity from the original body.

The only thing he has left in his original body is his identity related to The Fool.

At the same time, he also "stole" the identity, destiny and spiritual imprint of the ancestor of the Antigonus family - this was also possible with the cooperation of his self-consciousness, which made him successful several times.

As the long river of light with countless tributaries emerged, the face of Klein's clone twisted and squirmed, transforming into Klein Moretti with the characteristics of Gehrman Sparrow.

He turned into his original body, without extraordinary characteristics!

Of course, his self-awareness and anchor were still fighting against the spiritual imprint of the ancestor of the Antigonus family, but this was undoubtedly much easier to handle than before.

Having already adapted to the identity of Antigonus, he quickly found a new balance, which delayed and prolonged his out-of-control fate.

Although this is still inevitable, it leaves a certain amount of time for subsequent operations.

On the other hand, what remained of Klein's original body was the uniqueness of "The Fool", all the extraordinary characteristics from "The Curtain", the extraordinary characteristics derived from Zaratul, a small amount of extraordinary characteristics from other sources that Klein had taken and digested, the revived will of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", the remaining spiritual imprint of Zaratul, and the identity of "The Fool".

Without the involvement of Klein's self-consciousness, Antigonus's mental imprint, and a large number of anchors, Zaratul's remaining mental imprint was quickly defeated and eroded by the reviving will of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" that was merging into one.

The next second, Klein's "real body" suddenly became silent.

His body stopped collapsing, he lowered his head, and no longer extended his slippery and evil tentacles around him. He was so quiet that he seemed to have lost his soul.

In such a scene, silence is more terrifying than madness.

That motionless body seemed to be giving birth to an extremely terrifying monster!

Klein ignored this and quickly "grafted" part of his connection with his "main body" onto the gray fog.

Then he changed his target and locked onto Antigonus on the huge stone chair.

This former half of the "Fool" did not receive Amon's help and did not escape from his eternal sleep.

Klein stretched out his right hand once again and "stole" the opponent's remaining Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics, one copy each.

Although he now bears the identity and fate of Antigonus, such "stealing" is still difficult and failure is inevitable and repeated.

At this time, outside the "mysterious realm" created by the "Source Castle", Amon regained consciousness from the initial chaos.

They either raised their hands to adjust their monocles to make the redness in their eyes disappear, or lowered their heads to look at their stomachs and reached out to touch them.

A second later, the bulging bellies burst open, and babies with a faint blush color emerged one after another.

The babies did not cry and did not show any distortion. Instead, they each smoothly took out a crystal monocle from the void and put it on their right eye.

The number of Amon increased.

He turned all the babies he gave birth to into his own clones to prevent them from interfering with him due to the contamination of the "original moon".

At this time, the "Mother Goddess of the Earth" and the "God of Steam and Machinery" had gained certain, small advantages on their respective battlefields, and were finally able to free up their hands to interfere with the situation inside the palace.

All of a sudden, part of Amon turned into plants, blossomed and bore fruit, and returned to the earth; part of Amon became knowledge, information, and text, and was printed in imaginary books.

However, some Amons still managed to avoid the influence of the two true gods by using "flash", relying on loopholes, or cheating on the rules. While they continued to strengthen the seals of the "Wishing Lamp" and the "Brass Book of Trunsoest", they opened a "door" in Klein's "Mysterious Realm".

At the same time, the angels also noticed the changes in the astral realm, but their eyes could not penetrate the natural barriers of the "Mother Earth" and the civilization of the "God of Steam and Machinery", and could not see the scenes inside at all.

This means that even if they wanted to exert influence, they could not do so.

In the "mysterious realm" created by the "Source Castle", after repeated failures, Klein finally succeeded in "stealing" one Beyonder characteristic from Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 from Antigonus, the Beyonder characteristics that had already been digested!

——The latter, because of the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, has attracted many extraordinary people of the same path throughout the long history. While turning them into secret puppets, He also absorbed their extraordinary characteristics. Therefore, at this time, Antigonus still has a large number of extraordinary characteristics of the "Fortune Teller" path left in his body, including a portion of "Miracle Worker".

Those dim spots of light quickly merged into Klein's body and became one with him.

Because he is now Antigonus, and because those extraordinary characteristics have been digested by Antigonus, his out-of-control fate has not accelerated and maintains the previous progress.

In this way, Klein once again became a Sequence 1 "Mysterious Servant", a "Mysterious Servant" who had digested the potion and whose fate was heading towards an out-of-control ending.

At this moment, his original "body" raised his head, his eyes were dark.

Just by being looked at like that, Klein's thoughts instantly slowed down, his body went cold, and he could hardly think of resisting.

The powerful will that he was very familiar with began to rise little by little, trying to influence the "Source Castle".

The "Lord of Mysteries" was initially resurrected within Klein's "body".

The "Fool" has become a great being that has been resurrected in the true sense, which is consistent with the speculation of the Tarot Club and contradicts the real history.

Before his thoughts slowed down further, Klein took the initiative to cooperate with Amon and lifted the "mysterious realm", allowing the situation inside to be communicated with the outside world.

He had no problem "fooling" history, as he had originally thought, but he had no good idea how to end it next.

According to the changing situation, his final plan at the critical moment was:

Without leaving any way out, from accommodating the uniqueness of the "fool" to promoting the real "fool"!

This won't be any worse than the previous situation.
