As a Beyonder who joined the Intis External Security Directorate as a member of the Secret Order, this was not the first time that Antoine had encountered something like this.
In certain scenes in the past, every time he was promoted, he would hear the muttering of "Honakis...Fregela...Honakis...Fregela..." and he almost lost control several times.
What’s different from the past is that the content of the whispers this time seems to have changed.
When the mumbling subsided and the view returned to normal, Antoine frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
“My mental state has been stable recently, and I haven’t taken any potions or tried to advance. How could I hear the whispers of a hidden existence?
“This seems to be somewhat different from before…
"What does Orville stand for? I don't have enough information to interpret it...
"Dilan, Dilan, well, the senior members of the association mentioned that our mysterious and terrifying leader once hid an ancient castle called Dilan...
“Hiss, whenever I think of that existence, I can’t help but tremble. Although He has returned to normal in the past two years, the horrific legends and actual damage He left behind are enough to give people nightmares for a lifetime…”
Antoine calmed himself down, temporarily suppressed his doubts, and continued to assign tasks to his subordinates.
…………
In front of a tombstone, Klein, who had just put down the white bouquet, tilted his head slightly, as if listening to something.
Although he heard nothing, as the Angel King who had already mastered part of the authority of this path, he could still keenly perceive that something unusual was happening and some secret information was being conveyed to specific targets.
“Is Zaratul not dead yet?” Klein retracted his gaze and whispered to himself.
He relied on his level, status and authority to forcibly prevent Zaratul from resurrecting, and did not notice anything unusual. However, when he examined himself afterwards, he found a problem:
What he absorbed from Zaratul’s body was a complete set of Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics.
In other words, it only contains one "Miracle Worker" extraordinary characteristic.
And Will Auceptin, the "Snake of Fate", said that Zaratul, like the ancestor of the Antigonus family, possessed an additional extraordinary characteristic of "Miracle Worker".
Therefore, the reality undoubtedly shows that one of Zaratul's extraordinary characteristics, "Miracle Master", has disappeared. As for whether there are other extraordinary characteristics such as "Ancient Scholar" and "Trickster", Klein has no way of guessing because he does not know Zaratul well enough.
Based on this situation, Klein had long suspected that Zaratul was not dead.
Of course, if the other party wants to resurrect, it will certainly not be that easy, because a too simple method will inevitably lead to a lack of secretiveness, and will inevitably be discovered by the high-level people of this path, thus making effective efforts to stop it.
——When Zaratul was able to separate the Sequence 2 Beyonder characteristics, he was undoubtedly already a Sequence 1 "Mysterious Servant". There were not many enemies that could restrain him, and each one of them had to be dealt with with the utmost caution.
Therefore, Klein believed that “He” should have made use of the Beyonder characteristics that were cut off, but he did not use it to revive directly. Instead, he made multiple arrangements in a roundabout way. He needed an opportunity or some medium to make the preparations work.
"It seems that He hid the extraordinary characteristics of the Miracle Master in a certain place in a specific way and covered it up in multiple ways. Otherwise, when I was promoted to the Mysterious Servant, I could have seen it directly with the help of the Sefirah Castle...
"Well, after that, we should use a reserved secret method to guide specific targets to resurrect Him. Haha, He has never contained uniqueness, so He cannot do a 'full-channel broadcast'. Moreover, we have to be wary of me or Amon hearing the corresponding content after our promotion and causing certain damage. Therefore, the target group He can guide is quite limited... All members of the Secret Order, or some of them?" Klein, who was squatting on one knee, nodded thoughtfully.
He immediately exhaled and complained unabashedly:
"Why is it so difficult to completely kill a high-sequence person on the 'Fortune Teller' path?"
There are always various preparations and various trump cards.
This made him truly understand why the goddess did not just kill the ancestor of the Antigonus family:
For half of the "fool", death may mean rebirth!
“However, an elaborate and complex secret arrangement often means a poor ability to bear risks. Maybe Zaratul’s resurrection arrangement will benefit a lucky person in the Secret Order. This is even more likely than “him” miraculously returning from the mist of history. In addition, there is a possibility of being interfered with, influenced, and used by the Outer Gods…” Klein sneered in his heart and slowly stood up.
He had no intention of looking for the extraordinary characteristics of the "Miracle Worker" for the time being, because under the tremendous pressure brought by Amon's "mistake", he had to hurry up to enhance his humanity, stabilize his mental state, and go to the depths of the spiritual city Calderon to fetch water from the "River of Eternal Darkness" in order to accommodate the uniqueness of the "Fool". He had no time to waste on unimportant things.
When he succeeds in ascending and restores the balance of the situation, he would not mind going to Intis, starting with the members of the Secret Order, to find the "treasure house" hidden by Zaratul, so that this angel who survived the Fourth Epoch can rest in peace.
After gathering his thoughts and staring at the tombstone in front of him for a while, Klein slowly stepped back, put his hands in his pockets, and walked sideways into the spirit world.
During this period of time, he was like a traveler in the mystical sense, sometimes returning to places he had been before, and sometimes, under the guidance of fate, randomly traveling through the spiritual world, going to different realities and witnessing different scenes.
As a result, his own self-awareness and self-consciousness gradually recovered and strengthened bit by bit. Now he can better cooperate with the anchor and suppress the will of "Tianzun" that has been reviving to a certain extent.
This made his mental state much more stable than when he met the "Goddess of Night".
The rich, overlapping blocks of color seemed like a spiritual world composed of abstract oil paintings. Klein walked a few steps aimlessly, not knowing up, down, left, right, forward, or backward.
Then, following the guidance of fate and spirituality, he left this place and returned to the real world.
The first thing that appeared before his eyes was a small square and a church belonging to the "Goddess of Night".
At this moment, many people are entering the church with happy expressions.
Back to Backlund? Klein looked up at the sun shining through the thin clouds, and followed the crowd towards the church gate.
As soon as he passed through the entrance, his eyes suddenly froze.
He saw Benson.
Benson Moretti.
This man with black hair and brown eyes looked somewhat similar to Klein, except that he looked a bit older. His hair was combed back neatly, revealing his broad forehead.
He stood beside the altar, wearing a neat suit, looking quite nervous.
Klein stared for two seconds, then quickly looked away and looked to the side.
Then, he glanced at the front row and saw Melissa, who was wearing a conservative off-white dress.
Compared with before, the girl's face no longer has the childishness, but has more flesh and no longer looks so thin.
She kept talking to people around her and handled various affairs and interpersonal relationships skillfully.
"You're still dressed so old-fashioned. It's a good thing you didn't get a black suit..." Klein curled his lips slightly and muttered to himself. He walked to a corner of the church and found a place to sit down.
After more than ten minutes, Melissa finished her work and sat down at her seat.
Festive and cheerful music then sounded, gradually becoming somewhat sacred.
A lady in a holy wedding dress came in from the door, holding her father's hand on one hand and her mother's hand on the other, and walked step by step along the aisle to the altar.
Benson, who was near the altar, swallowed his saliva vaguely and smiled uncontrollably.
This is his wedding.
Klein in the corner saw this scene, leaned back a little, lowered his head slightly, and muttered:
"Laughing like a curly-haired baboon..."
After the bride was brought to the front of the altar by her parents, she bowed to Benson first, and then turned towards the holy emblem and the priest.
Benson returned the salute and turned around.
When the bride's parents were seated, the pastor said:
"Under the gaze of the goddess of mercy, I will witness a holy marriage."
"Praise the goddess." All the guests present, as long as they were believers of the "Goddess of Night", raised their right hands at the same time and tapped their chests four times clockwise to draw stars.
This includes Klein.
When everyone calmed down, the pastor turned his head and said to the bride:
"Ms. Ruth Brooke, are you willing to have this man next to you become your husband and enter into a marriage contract with you? Are you willing to love him, respect him, accompany him, and take care of him for the rest of your long life, whether you are poor or rich, sick or healthy, until the end of your life?"
The lady named Ruth looked at the holy emblem of the "Goddess of Night" and nodded solemnly:
"I do."
The smile on Benson's face overflowed again.
The pastor turned to look at him and said:
"Mr. Benson Moretti, are you willing to have this lady next to you become your wife and enter into a marriage contract with you? Are you willing to love her, respect her, accompany her, and take care of her for the rest of your long life, whether you are poor or rich, sick or healthy, until the end of your life?"
Benson nodded immediately and said:
"I do!"
Seeing this and hearing these words, Melissa's vision blurred, and she felt sad and happy at the same time:
After going through all kinds of things, the family finally welcomed a new member.
Suddenly, she subconsciously turned her head and looked towards the corner, and saw an empty seat with no one sitting there.
Melissa then pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.
After scanning the area for several seconds, she slowly retracted her gaze and looked back at the altar.
It wasn't until the pastor announced the marriage and Benson and Ruth officially became husband and wife that Melissa smiled again.
…………
In East Chester County, in the Hall family’s manor, Klein’s figure walked out of thin air.
He has regained some mental stability and is now able to seek treatment from a psychiatrist, but he still has one problem to solve.
