When Amon was speaking, Klein seemed to be listening, but in fact he had already tried to leave Sefirah Castle.
This was not because he wanted to give up or surrender, nor was it because he was too timid and subconsciously considered hiding first, but because he thought this was the best solution under the current circumstances:
If he stayed in Sefirah Castle, Klein would face three major challenges:
First, he had just been promoted to The Fool, and his state was extremely unstable. He had to devote most of his energy to suppress the will of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun to revive. Second, he could not get help from his allies and could only fight alone. Third, since everyone could influence Sefirah Castle, even if Klein could control the Sefirah to a greater extent than Amon, he would not be able to show an overwhelming advantage. He might even be interfered with by the other party who was good at exploiting loopholes and creating "bugs", making it difficult for him to use Sefirah Castle well and be on the same level as the other party.
In this way, the Sequence 0 "Fool" faces the half-crazy "Error" and "Door" dual-path true gods. Even if it is not a 100% failure, the probability of winning is extremely small.
If Klein seizes the opportunity and leaves Sefirah Castle, he will immediately gain help from his allies and reverse the situation on both sides:
If Amon chases after him, Klein will interfere with his return to "Source Castle" and make him face his allies. At that time, the "Original Witch" will definitely not take action again, and the ancient sun god may not be able to reproduce half of his old power in a short period of time. The six righteous gods headed by the "Goddess of Night" are enough to deal with Amon.
Even though Amon, who holds all authority over the two domains of "Error" and "Gate", is not so easy to kill, the righteous gods can definitely weaken him and seal him. After Klein stabilizes his mental state and deepens his control over "Source Castle", they can kill him in a targeted manner.
Such a process is almost irreversible. Even if the ancient sun god can still burst out with the same status, level and strength as before, it cannot be changed - His limit seems to be suppressing three gods at the same time, which does not include the "Goddess of Night".
Of course, the Outer Gods undoubtedly do not want to see the birth of a new "Lord of Mysteries". Once a similar situation occurs, they will certainly try their best to interfere and prevent Amon from falling. However, before the world barrier collapses, the influence they can exert is quite limited and may not produce much effect. Just like before, Klein believed that the combined strength of the "Dark Side of the Universe" and the "Bound God" was lower than that of the "Hidden Sage".
Even if the situation was really affected by the Outer Gods, Klein would not suffer much loss. Anyway, those beings would not allow Amon to kill him in the opposite direction. He could calmly find a place to hide, stabilize his mental state, and wait until he was ready before making new plans. The foggy town of the "Goddess of Night" was a good choice.
If Amon did not chase after them and remained inside Sefirah Castle, Klein could use his status as the master of Sefirah Castle and his ability to influence various affairs inside at any time to prevent Amon from doing anything inside Sefirah Castle. Even if he wanted to use the Crimson Star to deal with the Tarot Club members, he would not be able to do it.
In short, it would be very difficult for any of them to make better use of the "Source Castle", but it would be absolutely easy to destroy the other's attempt.
In this stalemate, Klein had plenty of time to stabilize his mental state, deepen his control over Sefirah Castle, and turn the situation around bit by bit.
In the end, Amon would either have to escape and hide, or completely revive "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" and drag Klein to death with him.
So, although he didn't have time to analyze the pros and cons, Klein quickly came to a conclusion:
Leaving "Source Castle" now is the best option.
However, as soon as his consciousness sank to the edge of the "Source Castle", he saw a monocle made of crystal.
This thing appeared in time and disrupted Klein's escape.
"Do you think I would leave such an obvious loophole? Of course, you can always stop me from leaving Sefirah Castle." Amon bent his right index finger, pressed it against the bottom of his monocle, and smiled.
Behind the chair where He sat, the symbols outlined by brilliant light changed rapidly, sometimes a mixture of symbols corresponding to parasitism, time, and fate, and sometimes a series of stacked "doors".
These two different symbols appear alternately and cannot be truly fixed.
Klein didn't listen to what Amon said. As soon as he failed to escape, he created the real "Mysterious Realm" and the complete Kingdom of the Fool.
In front of Amon's eyes, the light and shadow changed instantly, causing the magnificent palace, the mottled long table and the gorgeous high-backed chair to disappear, and an ancient castle to emerge.
Amon had no idea what the ancient castle looked like, because he was standing in a corridor inside the castle. He could only sense the various changes in the "Source Castle" and see the limited scenery within his field of vision.
This corridor was extremely eerie and dark, and seemed to have no end at both ends. Every long distance there was an elegant silver candlestick, and the light above the candlestick was dim and dark.
There are tightly closed dark mahogany doors on both sides of the corridor, which seem to connect different rooms.
There was no sound in any of the rooms, and no one knew what was hidden in each of them.
Amon glanced at it casually and said with interest:
“Interesting.”
As the most powerful "cryptographer", He certainly knows that this is a kingdom of God, and it is the kind of kingdom of God that cannot be broken by brute force.
This was because each door was "reorganized" with different things, and it was unknown what effect would be triggered if they were forcibly broken. Amon did not underestimate the ability and intelligence of a Sequence 0 "Fool", and did not intend to experience multiple surprises and accidents.
However, once the rules of the Kingdom of God are fixed, the master of the Kingdom of God will also be restricted to a certain extent.
To put it simply, Klein must be in one of the rooms at this moment and not anywhere else.
If you gain benefits, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities.
“Are you trying to buy time and stabilize your mental state this way?” Amon whispered to someone unknown.
Then, wearing a pointed hat and a classical black robe, He walked to the nearest dark mahogany door.
There are no holes in the wooden door, so it is impossible to see what is going on inside.
In other words, without opening the door, it would be difficult for Amon to know whether Klein was here.
With the corner of his mouth slightly raised, Amon stretched out his right hand and drew a vertical rectangle on the dark mahogany door.
Inside the rectangle, dots of starlight appeared, and then became transparent, revealing the scene in the room.
Amon relied on the authority of "Door" and the ability of "Bug" to force a window to open on the door without triggering the effect.
Then, He turned His gaze towards the interior of the room.
There were no tables, chairs, carpets or other furniture, but a vast blue sea.
"Sure enough, this door is combined with the sea outside." Amon smiled without any surprise.
Once He turns this door, He will directly leave the "Source Castle" and appear in the sea.
At that time, with Klein on guard, it would be almost impossible for Him to enter Sefirah Castle again, just like Klein cannot leave Sefirah Castle now.
This is why Amon did not forcibly destroy the Kingdom of the Fool, but opened it door by door.
——Destruction will cause similar, repeated effects to affect Amon over and over again. Even if there are many loopholes that can be exploited, He cannot be completely immune.
Withdrawing his gaze, Amon walked to the room opposite and opened a window on the door using the same method as before.
But this time, it was dark inside and nothing could be seen.
Amon raised his hand and pinched the upper and lower edges of his monocle, then coughed lightly.
His figure suddenly split into two.
The number of Amon increased.
The Amon who was separated looked at Amon who was standing in the same place and said:
"Why don't you go and seek excitement on your own?"
As he spoke, Amon stretched out his right hand and grasped the handle of the dark mahogany door.
Just as he was twisting his body, his expression suddenly became dull and he sat down straight, as if he had lost the ability to think.
"Fooling effect." Amon nodded slightly while standing still.
The already foolish Amon suddenly collapsed and turned into a transparent insect with twelve segments.
A little bit of extraordinary characteristics was extracted from www.00kxs.com and returned to Amon's body.
By exploiting the loophole, he avoided the negative effects of the clone on his real body.
When all the extraordinary characteristics were restored, Amon released a ball of stolen fire and burned the body of the "Time Worm".
After finishing this task slowly, He raised His head and adjusted the monocle on His right eye.
On the crystal monocle, countless symbols, patterns, and logos stood out, moving rapidly, interweaving, reorganizing, or changing, as if calculating something.
This is a combination of the decryption ability of the "Cryptologist" and the positioning authority of the "Star Key".
Amon's two attempts just now were mainly to collect intelligence and grasp the rules in preparation for cracking the mystery of the Kingdom of the Fool.
Soon, those symbols, patterns, and logos formed a scene on the monocle:
Behind a dark red wooden door, Klein, with several slippery tentacles extending from his body, sat on a high-back chair, staring at the entrance calmly.
Amon's mouth curled up, and his figure flashed, appearing directly in the room.
However, everything before His eyes suddenly collapsed.
Klein, who had the aura of The Fool, quickly became thinner and turned into a piece of card.
On the cards, Roselle Gustav was wearing a gorgeous headdress, colorful clothes, carrying a cane and luggage, his eyes full of longing.
The Fool card.
The Fool card from the Blasphemy deck.
Klein knew that simply relying on a "paper man substitute", even if it had the "fooling" effect and was "grafted" with the real aura, would not be able to deceive Amon, the top "swindler", so he used the "Fool" card with the corresponding aggregation ability to make a paper man.
Although Sefirah Castle could no longer be used, it was Klein's home ground after all. There were his junk piles, various items he had collected, the newly acquired Brass Book of Trunsoest, and the borrowed Wishing Magic Lamp.
