Hearing Amon's words, Klein's heart suddenly sank.
Before this, he was not worried that Amon would instigate the "Genius" to rebel, because Amon was a top "swindler" and any promises he made could not be believed. Moreover, the "Genius" had encountered the former "Lord of Mysteries" and was a victim of similar things. He would definitely deal with Mr. "Error" with the most defensive attitude.
This is the result of lack of credit.
Sometimes, lying, cheating, and cheating can indeed increase short-term gains, but in the long run, being honest and trustworthy can get you more.
But now, the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" has just made a rule that "fraud is prohibited here."
And Amon was not punished after making his promise!
At the same time, neither Klein nor the "Genius" discovered that the other party had exploited a "loophole" in this matter.
This strongly proves that what Amon said just now was true and effective, came from the heart, and was not a fraud.
The "Lamp Spirit" can even rely on its own status and characteristics to distort this sentence to a certain extent, turning "I can promise" into "I promise", making it impossible for Amon to go back on his word, as he would suffer damage from the rules of the old level if he did so.
This made Klein wonder whether the "fraud is prohibited here" clause was formulated by Amon quietly guiding the "Brass Book of Trunsost", or whether the "Djinn" did it intentionally to make all beings who might become the "Lord of Mysteries" promise to send him back to the starry sky.
For the "Lamp God", such a deal is a sure win, because Klein himself owes him a promise.
In any other scenario, Klein would still have time to communicate with the "Djinn" and rebuild trust, but at this moment, Amon's threat was imminent and would not give him the opportunity to resolve this issue.
If he chose to continue to believe in the "Lamp God", Klein would be placing his life in the hands of this Outer God and allowing him to manipulate him. In the following battle, the "Lamp God" only needed to use the "Brass Book of Trunsost" to formulate some rules that seemed fine but actually favored Amon. Klein, who was already at a great disadvantage, would be quickly defeated and would not be able to reverse the situation.
With his thoughts racing, Klein made his choice regarding this game.
A translucent dark cloak suddenly appeared around him, and his face was covered with a strange and distorted mask.
"Fool"!
Invisible ripples burst out from his body, instantly covering the "Lamp Spirit", the "Brass Book of Trunsost", the entire wilderness, and Amon.
“Blind and foolish” authority!
The monocle of Amon's true form lost its luster for a short time, as if He had lost His sight, and His eyes became dull;
The speed of writing new articles in the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" slowed down significantly, as if it would take a quarter of an hour or even several hours to think of what rules to make next;
The blurred and distorted pale golden figure of the "genie" shook, and suddenly shrank back into the kettle-like golden magic lamp. It was unknown whether it was avoiding something or it was purely an instinctive reaction.
Seizing this opportunity, Klein tried to escape from Sefirah Castle while preparing to "graft" himself onto something.
Just as his consciousness began to sink, the monocle made of ground crystal appeared at the edge of the "Source Castle", blocking his "road".
Even though his IQ dropped briefly, Amon seemed to remember to stop Klein from leaving Sefirah Castle.
His eyes quickly regained clarity, still tinged with darkness. His mouth gradually opened, and he laughed uncontrollably:
"I have 'written' this into my instincts. It's a good way to combat the effects of 'blind stupidity'."
Obviously, He cheated the rules again, deceived himself, and made his instincts think that was what He wanted to do.
Klein was not discouraged and immediately completed the "grafting" that he had prepared long ago.
In the starry sky, a huge star emitting light and heat suddenly dimmed a little.
In the wilderness under the effect of "eternal daylight", an orange-red sun with a breath of destruction and a heavy feeling fell from the sky and fell down.
The entire wilderness suddenly collapsed and curled up, as if it was heading straight towards the star.
At the same time, everything here was on fire, including Amon.
The next second, the surrounding void shrank around the real sun, and everything either fell apart or vaporized directly, leaving only the "Wishing Lamp" and the "Trensost Brass Book" still struggling to hold on in the flames, undamaged.
Klein, who was floating in the air, had long disappeared.
He "grafted" himself onto the star.
Of course, what he "grafted" was just the concept of a star, not the entity. Otherwise, with the Fool's defense being significantly lower than that of most Sequence 0s, and his relatively fragile body, he would be "swallowed" by a real star and die on the spot.
"The Fool" is a very extreme god who has the ability to destroy a star but cannot face the other side directly. His strengths and weaknesses are equally obvious.
In addition, normally, concepts cannot directly affect the surrounding environment or harm the enemy. It is not the case that writing down words such as "large mass, large gravity, high temperature, high heat, and fusion" can create similar effects, but Mr. Klein, the "Fool", holds the power of "fooling".
He made the surrounding environment change accordingly with the concept of stars!
This is both a strong "change" and a "fooling".
Amon's body, wearing a pointed hat and a classical black robe, was completely ignited and began to vaporize under the close illumination of the "star".
At this moment, his figure twisted and was instantly dyed with bright starlight, becoming extremely illusory, as if he had turned into a "star gate".
At this moment, Amon no longer seemed like a physical creature, but more like a collection of symbols such as "wandering", "astral passage", "key", and "door".
This is the ability of the "planeswalkers" to travel to different planets and worlds with the help of the astral plane - they can transform themselves into symbols and thus effectively use the astral plane.
At the Sequence 0 "Gate" stage, similar abilities undergo a qualitative change to "conceptualization."
Amon transformed himself into a conceptual creature and avoided the damage caused by the "star".
Behind him, a figure suddenly appeared. It was Klein, who was wearing a windbreaker and a top hat.
Almost at the same time, Amon's thoughts slowed down a little.
His "spiritual thread" was caught by Klein.
Klein took advantage of the chaos brought about by the "star" to dissolve the "combination" between himself and related concepts, quietly "grafted" the locations of both parties, and came behind Amon.
Originally, without this conceptual "reorganization", the impact of the "star" on the surrounding environment would have stopped immediately, but Klein "fooled" time, allowing the effect of the previous two seconds to remain until now, thereby deceiving Amon.
If possible, what Klein wanted to do most now was to deepen his control over Amon's "Spirit Thread" and turn Him into his own secret puppet, but he knew very well that under the current circumstances, the probability of success was extremely low: on the one hand, Amon could withstand the damage and steal the "Spirit Thread" back; on the other hand, He might be able to use the connection between the two parties established with the help of the "Spirit Thread" to create a "bug" and reversely affect Klein and "parasitize" him.
Without absolute certainty, Klein didn't want his actions to appear rash.
His main purpose in grasping Amon's "spiritual thread" was to cause a certain degree of mental stagnation in the other party.
This was the manifestation of the authority of fooling at the stage of becoming a puppet. Given Klein's current state, he would certainly prefer this lower-level but effective method, which would be less burdensome for him and would not seriously affect his mental stability like directly using the authority of fooling.
At this moment, his enemy is not only Amon, but also the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" in his body.
Of course, the same is true for Amon. If he no longer suppresses himself after becoming half crazy, "Tianzun" will have been resurrected in his body.
After causing Amon's thoughts to temporarily slow down, Klein had three choices:
One is to take this opportunity to escape from the "Source Castle", but he is not sure whether Amon's instinct is still working and preventing him from escaping;
The second is to summon the images in the gaps of history, but this is not very useful. The existence of angels can play a very small role in this war of gods. They may not be able to stop Amon's gaze. What's more, their historical projections, even if Klein wants to use them to convey information, lack sufficient value because other gods cannot enter the "Source Castle" and cannot provide help;
The third is to take this opportunity to exert a certain, sufficiently useful influence on Amon's true body.
Klein chose the third option without much hesitation.
He wanted to take this opportunity to "graft" Amon, "Source Castle" and the dark blue light door together.
Klein felt that Amon's half-crazy state wasn't bad enough, he just seemed to be a bit too talkative and might not know when to get the timing right at times. He wanted to make him even crazier.
When Amon and the "Source Castle" complete the "reorganization", the will of the "Tianzun" in his body will be significantly strengthened, and the mental confusion will be significantly intensified.
In that case, Amon would lack sufficient rationality to restrain himself, and his actions would be more like instinctive reactions rather than the result of careful thinking.
This would be a fatal impact for Mr. "Error", who is known for his "fraud".
Of course, Klein could only maintain this kind of "grafting" for one second. If it exceeded this limit, he might not be facing Amon, but "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun".
By then, the other party will definitely accept the gift of "Source Castle" with a smile, and use the source essence plus two uniqueness and the corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics to defeat the single-path Sequence 0 "Fool".
Originally, Klein could rely on "fooling" authority to lower Amon's IQ, but firstly, he was in no condition to use this level of power for a long time. Secondly, as Amon was a true god of two paths and the holder of many authorities, the time that the "blindness and stupidity" effect could last on Him was quite limited. Therefore, Klein had to take the risk of using this "grafting".
The Crazy President accompanies Amon until He finds a new balance or meets the best "psychologist".
In a flash, as the translucent cold mask appeared on Klein's face again, the strange light gate with a hint of blue and black also appeared on Amon's body.
"Source Castle".
