Rory led Klaus away from the garden and moved far to the west, where no houses nor civilians could be found. Klaus wanted a peaceful tribulation since, naturally, he would be faking it.
The Lightning Source Diagram is what he would be using for this endeavour. Since only one of his bodies would have to undergo the real tribulation, this meant the other nine would have to simulate it.
However, since the Lightning Source Diagram is something the heavens turned into a tribulation weapon, he would still receive tribulation runes just like he would if he were having the real thing.
The lightning source diagram was created by him for Knox, his second incarnation, to use as a weapon; however, when the heavens stole it, they corrupted it, turning it into a tribulation weapon.
Who knew he would be needing it for just that, years later? Perhaps it wasn't a coincidence at all.
On the way, Klaus asked Rory a question.
