Hobert specifically instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to simultaneously proceed with replacing the king of Loen and negotiating with the Church.
This was, in effect, a direct message to the Church, informing them that there was another power besides the Church that could influence a nation's political trajectory.
It was tantamount to applying pressure on the Church.
After assigning the task to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hobert began assigning new tasks to the Imperial government: accelerate the pace of domestic infrastructure construction.
Or rather, Hobert would use his Beyonder abilities to intervene in the country's development process.
First, he would cause crops to mature ahead of schedule, initiate an infrastructure boom in the southern part of the empire ahead of time, and begin land distribution in the northern part of the empire ahead of schedule.
Then, Hobert would have the Imperial government prepare for the construction of a large number of urban areas, squares, railways, highways, factories, residential buildings, breeding areas, and so on in a very short period.
Finally, in the next week or two, every citizen of the Atlantis Kingdom would learn Loenese, and would accept Atlantis-style clothing and architectural styles.
Of course, this would inevitably involve some obvious extraordinary factors, so Hobert would also "tamper" with the consciousness of the people, making them think that all of this was normal.
However, he would not "tamper" with the consciousness of mid- to high-level officials, as someone had to record and evaluate the results of this large-scale construction.
Hobert was acting as the "Black Emperor."
His spirituality had a premonition that there might be an opportunity to accommodate the "Nation of Disorder" in the near future. Before that, he must adjust his state to the best.
At the level of a deity, the digestion of potions was no longer so important. Hobert could even use his abilities to directly accelerate the digestion of the potion in his body.
At this level, acting was the most important thing.
Thus, in the next 10 days or so, bizarre scenes appeared in Atlantis.
...
July 10th, early morning.
Michael, a villager in the eastern suburbs of Angel City, got up early as usual. His wife had already prepared breakfast: oatmeal and Atlantis's popular sauerkraut.
Mealtime was always Michael's happiest time because he could eat his fill of oatmeal, and he could also eat his fill of bread for lunch and dinner.
As an immigrant, he wouldn't have dared to imagine such a thing two years ago.
Back then, he had to work all day and eat bread sparingly, or he would easily go hungry.
Now, not only could he eat his fill, but he could also buy a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and meats, and sometimes even seafood, at the town government market every Wednesday and Saturday.
Michael had never even seen many of the vegetables and fruits before.
At first, Michael only dared to buy the cheapest cabbage, but three months ago, he worked in Angel City for a few days and earned some money, so he wanted to buy some meat, buy some vegetables he had never eaten before, and have a good meal.
As a result, he found that other vegetables were also very cheap. When Michael learned of this, he was immediately moved to tears and deeply loved this land and this country.
As for meat, the money he got from selling grain was enough for his family to eat one or two meals a week.
There was no agricultural tax on the grain produced in the fields. Last year, the harvest was very good, and one-third of the harvest was enough for a family to eat for a year.
However, Michael cautiously only sold one-third of the harvest, and kept another one-third in the granary. Every time the family passed by the granary or saw the granary, they would feel joy and peace of mind from the bottom of their hearts!
While recalling the past, Michael took his farm tools as usual, and the couple and their 17-year-old eldest son went to work in the fields together, while their 10-year-old daughter went to school with several other children of about the same age.
At noon, his daughter would come back from school, help boil water, and then bring bread, boiled water, and sauerkraut to the fields to deliver food to the family.
Every time he thought of this, Michael couldn't help but sigh. His eldest son was a little too old, and the public school no longer accepted him. He could only go to night school during the slack season.
But working in the fields meant that there was basically no free time. Where would he find the time to go to school?
The family greeted the other villagers casually and realized something was wrong when they arrived at the entrance of the village.
They were supposed to weed the wheat field today, but the wheat in the wheat field was golden yellow and had already ripened!
Just as everyone was stunned, the village chief came to the field with a sickle and rope: "What are you waiting for? Come and harvest the crops!
"The announcement has been made that the next few days will be sunny, which is a good time for threshing!"
The villagers then belatedly "recalled" that it seemed to be the time to harvest the grain.
Michael felt that something was strange, but the wheat was indeed ripe, and this year's yield seemed to be even higher than last year's. With the facts before him, the little doubt in his heart disappeared.
Immediately, Michael cursed his wife, complaining that she didn't remind him to harvest the grain today, so the family came with hoes!
His wife also put her hands on her hips and started arguing with Michael.
Not only Michael's family was like this, but several couples had quarrels because of this, and more villagers gathered around to watch the fun.
"Shit! Do you still have the strength to quarrel?" the village chief scolded: "Go back and get your sickles, you idiots!"
So, amid the couples' soft muttering, they brought their sickles and returned to the fields to harvest diligently.
As they harvested, they exclaimed that the weather was really good this year. In previous years, they would get dizzy from the heat when harvesting wheat, but this year it was very cool and comfortable!
After a busy day, they cut back big bundles of wheat and put them in the house, and Michael's family felt relieved to rest.
July 11th, early morning, they heard the village chief shouting outside: "All the strong laborers in the village, push your wheelbarrows and come with me to the town to pull bricks! This year's large-scale construction action has begun!"
Michael's family was stunned: That's right, we're going to pull bricks today!
Damn it, damn it, we got up late! We can only eat a few bites of cold bread for breakfast.
After getting up, Michael felt a little uneasy when he saw the house was empty.
But he couldn't say what he was uneasy about. However, he came to the granary, as if he couldn't control his legs.
As soon as he entered the granary, a smile spread across his face again: "This year's harvest is really good!"
...
Unlike the southern part of Atlantis, the northern part was distributing land "the day after the grain was harvested", one day later than the south, and carried out large-scale construction activities.
For a time, the entire Atlantis was building houses and factories.
Some tourists from the Northern Continent, or people on business trips or trade, were initially somewhat surprised. They had heard that Atlantis usually entered a period of large-scale construction in November. Why was it four months earlier this year?
But after staying in the Atlantis Empire for a few minutes, they would feel that everything was normal! And they would ignore the miracles happening here one by one.
On the first day of the large-scale construction action, all the brick factories were filled with fired red bricks that stretched as far as the eye could see.
After a slight daze, the people in the brick factory gradually began to complain about why the people in the village didn't come to pull the bricks quickly?
On the second day of construction, the houses and factories that had just started laying the foundation yesterday rose from the ground and had already been built.
Then they began to build schools, build markets, build government office buildings, or office compounds.
On the third day, these buildings were also completed.
After that, there was the construction of railways and highways. In just four or five days, the entire Atlantis had a railway network and a highway network.
...
July 20th, morning.
Hobert and Roselle, who had a delicate mustache, were walking on the country road that had just been "built."
Roselle watched the villagers digging up the wheat roots in the fields, and they planned to dry them and use them as fuel.
From today onwards, Atlantis's "acceleration" officially stopped.
These days, various departments are counting the results of this "large-scale construction" and, after completing the initial statistics, are beginning to deploy the construction of national water conservancy facilities.
The new construction tasks will have to be built bit by bit by manpower, but because there are already railways and roads, the construction efficiency will be greatly improved.
Roselle said: "In my impression, the 'Black Emperor' usually promulgates some distorted decrees that cause great inconvenience to people in order to show his majesty. Of course, that must also be acting.
"However, the way you use it seems to be different. You are actually using the replacement of the king of Loen to show your majesty."
These days, the Atlantis Ministry of Foreign Affairs has successfully replaced the king of Loen. Alice I ascended the throne and accepted the coronation of Emperor Hobert.
At the same time, in order to respect the Church, Alice also accepted the coronation of the Pope of the Church of the Lord of Storms the next day.
Everyone who saw this news realized that the rules of the current world had undergone tremendous changes.
Hearing Roselle's words, Hobert smiled and said: "Only Solomon would do that kind of thing if he was sick. The decrees I have promulgated in the past few days are also distorted, or obviously contrary to common sense, but I also took this opportunity to complete the infrastructure of the entire empire.
"If it weren't for the consideration of finding something for the people to do, I would have helped build water conservancy projects and the like.
"How great is this? The entire empire has saved at least thirty years of development time."
Just the acting in the previous few days had already allowed Hobert to reach a very good state.
Whether it was the "king replacement event" or the large-scale construction action after "acceleration", they were very much in line with the core elements of the "Black Emperor", so they had such a good effect.
Roselle cleared his throat and said: "Well, I have actually promulgated some sick decrees before."
He smiled and then said: "I came to you today to talk about the 'Hidden Sage'.
"I heard Bernadette say that when you helped her advance, you took away a small bottle of the 'Hidden Sage's' knowledge?"
Hobert nodded: "That's right. When the opportunity is right, I plan to use that knowledge to find the 'Hidden Sage'."
He did not hide this: "I originally planned to go after becoming a god, but in a previous conflict, I got a clear piece of information. The 'Hidden Sage' seems to be able to use the power of the Sefirah.
"So I have to wait a little longer, until I am sure that I can directly kill him before I go to find him."
Hobert smiled and said: "Brother, you are really lucky. The Uniqueness and Beyonder characteristics needed to become a god fell from the sky like this."
Roselle followed suit and said with a smile: "It's just because I feel so embarrassed that I came to ask if there is anything I can help with?"
Hobert thought for a while: "Then help me count the population, land, real estate, wealth, mineral deposits, industrial production capacity, and other information of Atlantis."
These things are complicated. Currently, many of the statistical data held by Atlantis are inaccurate. At the same time, due to the previous large-scale construction action, especially real estate, it needs to be re-counted, which puts a lot of pressure on the newly created governments at all levels!
"No problem," Roselle agreed very readily.
In the next two days, he used his abilities to make a new statistics of all public and private property in Atlantis, and it was very accurate. For example, the forest was counted to how many square meters, and the real estate statistics even included the chicken coops in the villagers' homes.
The only task of all the staff in the Statistics Department was to send a large number of papers to Roselle's office. When those papers were moved out again, they were already official materials that various functional departments could use with confidence.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, Hobert learned the final result of the negotiations with the Church from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Regarding the issue of the Religious Judgement Group, the Church made a huge concession and incorporated the Religious Judgement Group into a part of the Atlantis judicial system.
However, it was a separate institution, and the trial and execution process were separated from the normal judicial departments.
The personnel responsible for the trial and execution were composed of the Atlantis Empire and the five Churches in a ratio of 2.5:2:2:1.5:1:1.
The Atlantis Empire accounted for 25% of the staff, the Church of the Earth Mother and the Evernight Goddess Church each accounted for 20%. These two churches had been preaching in the Southern Continent for a long time and had a large number of churches in the Atlantis Empire.
The Church of the Fool accounted for 15% of the staff, and the Church of the Fool had also built many churches in the past two years. The God of Knowledge and Wisdom Church and the Storm Lord Church each accounted for 10%, and they did not have many churches here.
This was the biggest concession the Church could give. If they continued to negotiate, it was likely to break down.
So Hobert agreed to this result. In any case, the Church had made a concession again, and he could continue to negotiate after he became a Great Old One.
Another negotiation was the composition of power. At the beginning, this negotiation was more difficult than the negotiation of the Judgement Group, because it would greatly limit the Church's influence in the extraordinary world of the Atlantis Empire.
But a fact was placed in front of the Church. Even if they did not agree to the plan proposed by Hobert, in the next few years, the number of official Beyonders in the Atlantis Empire might be more than the sum of the number of Beyonders stationed in the Empire by the five Churches.
After all, except for the Church of the Fool, the other four orthodox gods could not put all their extraordinary power in the Southern Continent.
Especially with the shortage of Beyonders in the Northern Continent's aristocratic and military forces, they would not put a large amount of extraordinary power in the Atlantis Empire.
So after a few days of negotiations, this negotiation became relatively smooth. From then on, 60% of the official Beyonders in the Atlantis Empire were Beyonders who were loyal to the Emperor, and the Beyonders of the five Churches only accounted for 40%.
The Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and even the Church of the Lord of Storms, didn't even plan to send demigods to the Atlantis Empire.
This was a completely new cooperation model. After all, in the countries of the Northern Continent, the Beyonders of the nobles and the military basically had to look to the churches.
But in the Atlantis Empire, it wasn't like this. The main cases were solved by the Beyonders of the government. If they didn't have enough manpower, they would be assigned to the various orthodox churches based on faith.
At this point, the negotiations between the empire and the religions officially ended, and divine power once again yielded to political power.
Of course, the reason for this outcome was entirely because Hobert was the "Black Emperor."
...
On the summit of the Hornacis Mountains, a figure of a young man with black hair and brown eyes was outlined, precisely Klein, who had adjusted his state.
In front of Him was an ancient palace shrouded in mist, dilapidated, and overgrown with weeds.
Immediately afterward, two puppets appeared on the side front, as if they were two guards.
Klein pressed his top hat and raised his right hand, snapping his fingers.
The summit of the Hornacis Mountains suddenly became dark, and illusory stars dotted the surroundings.
Klein "grafted" this place to the Astral World, so this peak appeared in the Astral World.
One of the puppets walked in the forefront, reaching out and pushing open the two heavy doors of the main hall deep within the palace.
Za Za Za~
The doors were pushed open little by little, and it was pitch black inside. The many corpses hanging from the top of the hall in the previous divination couldn't be seen, nor could the transparent worms on the huge stone chair.
The two puppets entered one after another. In their vision, the darkness in the hall changed. Buildings emerged around them, and figures walked on the streets. These figures seemed to be walking and talking about something, making the entire hall instantly become somewhat noisy.
These buildings and figures were dim in color, close to black and white, like old photos from the depths of history that had suddenly come to life.
Klein also entered the hall. The shadows changed accordingly. The scene seen by the main body was different from that of the puppets. He could see that in the depths of the palace, on that huge stone chair, a figure rested his elbows on the armrests, leaning his head back, as if asleep.
His facial features were not bad, but tufts of thick, black, short hair like wolf bristles grew on his cheeks. His face was quite young, but his hair was already half white, giving people a feeling of both old and youthful, both rational and crazy.
At the top of the hall hung corpses dressed in clothes that were either simple or luxurious.
This was almost a "standard" for high-sequence Beyonders of the "Seer" pathway.
Klein confirmed the advancement ritual he had prepared for the last time. When saving Roselle, He had continuously "fooled" fate, reality, and history. Although He had received help from the "Creator" at that time, theoretically, He had completed the ritual very well and could advance with confidence.
Immediately afterward, Klein pressed his hand to his chest and solemnly saluted Antigonus.
When He stood up, a complex illusory brand appeared between his eyebrows. This brand was like a strange light gate, constantly emitting thin gray-white mist to the surroundings.
This was Klein borrowing the power of the "Sefirah Castle"!
With the blessing of this brand, He could not only use the abilities of the "Seer" pathway, but also the abilities of the "Door" pathway and the "Error" pathway.
Moreover, these abilities were all at the Sequence 1 level.
The next second, Klein stretched out his right hand. His fingers quickly closed, his wrist distorted, and he began to steal Antigonus's identity, fate, and self-awareness.
This was to accommodate the Uniqueness. If the advancement failed, He could also return the fate to Antigonus and seek other opportunities for accommodation.
This was the best way to advance He could think of. Otherwise, if He killed Antigonus, it was likely that He would help Antigonus complete the resurrection process, making it difficult to obtain the Beyonder characteristics and Uniqueness.
Behind Klein, a voice rang out at the right time: "Magnify!"
Just now, the image of the "Creator" appeared at the top of the hall. All the hanging corpses scrambled to make way, fearing that they would obstruct the vision of this god.
Originally, because Antigonus had accommodated the Uniqueness, it might take Klein many times to "steal" it successfully, but because there was a god-level "magnification", Klein succeeded in one try!
Suddenly, He felt some invisible things detach from Antigonus and float towards himself.
At the same time, a river that was difficult to describe in words, branching into countless tributaries, seemed to appear before Klein's eyes.
This was the symbol of "Fate"!
Fragments of images flashed through Klein's mind, some of which were scenes of Antigonus being a Annihilation Demonic Wolf deity in the Second Epoch, and some of which were scenes of carefully gathering people and developing believers after the Northern Continent.
Klein quickly developed a cognition: I am Antigonus, I am "The Half-Fool"!
His body suddenly changed continuously, sometimes Klein with black hair, brown eyes, and a scholarly aura, and sometimes Antigonus with half-white hair and thick black wolf bristles on his face.
At this moment, Klein's thoughts were extremely chaotic, and his mental state was completely out of balance.
At the same time, he also inherited Antigonus's fate of losing control and going crazy, and his body began to collapse little by little.
Dong~
An incomparably deep and melodious bell rang echoed in the hall, and the corpses at the top of the hall swayed back and forth, as if they had heard a beautiful sound and were dancing a death dance.
The shadows in the hall disappeared instantly, and the ubiquitous darkness rolled rapidly, as if it were expanding.
Hobert not only did not dispel the "darkness", but also strengthened them to a certain extent, because this was the power of the Evernight Goddess to seal Antigonus.
The moment the bell rang, Klein felt his mind clear, and all the chaos, loss of control, and madness disappeared instantly.
Hobert used the "Bell of Order" to create an excellent opportunity for Klein to accommodate the Uniqueness!
...
Atlantis Empire, New City of Silver, on the clock tower of the Church of the Fool.
A young man wearing a pointed soft hat and a monocle suddenly appeared here, standing inside the railing of the clock tower, overlooking the entire city.
This was Amon, who had hastily accommodated the Uniqueness of the "Door" pathway and consumed a portion of the "Key of Stars" Beyonder characteristic.
But in the next instant, He saw New City of Silver disappear as if someone had erased it from the map with an eraser.
"Boring." Seeing this scene, Amon shook his head with a smile.
After ringing the bell earlier, He was to some extent "The Fool's" "Angel of Time", and could use this loophole to directly "steal" part of the other party's anchors.
Such theft is useless at ordinary times, but it is very useful at the critical moment of the ritual.
The sudden decrease in anchors will inevitably lead to a break in balance, causing Klein to lose control on the spot.
However, Klein had obviously asked the Evernight Goddess for help in advance, and helped hide the city that Amon was most likely to attack the moment Amon appeared here.
Amon then retracted his gaze, raised his hand and straightened the monocle on his right eye. On the lens, a light that seemed to come from the cosmos suddenly lit up, and He began to look for the location of the Hornacis peak.
...
In the hall on the top of the Hornacis Mountains in the cosmos, Klein seized the opportunity, stretched out slippery tentacles with strange patterns, and mobilized the power of the "Sefirah Castle" to begin "stealing" the "Fool" Uniqueness in Antigonus's body.
Because Klein is now Antigonus, and with the help of Hobert, He only "stole" it once, and a translucent mask engraved with the "Fool" symbol flew out of Antigonus's body!
...
"Forsaken Land of the Gods", on a certain mountain peak, a faint shadow curtain emerged on the surface of a huge cross and cracked, and a man walked out of it.
He was Adam, wearing a simple white robe and with a thick golden beard. Behind Him was a thick shadow with five heads.
This shadow was partially fused with Him, but had not yet completely integrated.
Adam looked up, and the dark clouds and lightning that had lingered over the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" for thousands of years disappeared without a trace, and the sky revealed a clear cosmos.
He smiled peacefully at the shadow behind Him: "They don't seem to know why I'm using 'Visionary' as the foundation this time.
"I've never told anyone about this research result."
Immediately afterward, He rarely spoke in a solemn low voice: "I am one, and I am all, I am the beginning, and I am the end!"
His eyes suddenly became illusory, and a sea that seemed to encompass all colors and all possibilities emerged around him.
Adam then raised his hand, and a blazing, illusory sun immediately jumped out of the top of His head. On His left, lightning, wind, waves, and other symbols intertwined to form a phantom that overlooked all things. On His right, a white tower with many brass glasses rose from the ground.
These imagined authorities and symbols, driven by the Chaos Sea, were thrown into Adam's body one after another.
In the end, the shadow that was tightly attached to Adam's back also shrank into His body.
In an instant, the sea that encompassed all colors and all possibilities rose up, and Adam swelled into a huge light and shadow that seemed to support the heavens and the earth.
This light and shadow slowly walked on the chaotic, dark "water surface", raised His finger and pointed at the Astral World, and solemnly announced: "Let there be light!"
In an instant, the entire Astral World lit up, and there was no longer any secret that could be hidden. Even the invisible barrier that separated the Astral World part corresponding to the Earth from the complete Astral World and the entire universe was highlighted.
At this time, terrifying giant faces that could not be specifically described were sticking to that transparent, cracked barrier, silently watching the changes inside.
...
In the cosmos, in the hall on the top of the Hornacis Mountains.
All the obscurity disappeared instantly, and everything in the hall was illuminated very brightly, even Hobert felt a little dazzling.
Klein was trying to integrate that illusory mask into his spirituality, but the arrival of the strong light seemed to make him be shocked by some force, and the speed of accommodation suddenly slowed down.
Hobert quickly mobilized the power of the "Nation of Disorder" to turn the entire peak into his Divine Kingdom: an incomplete "Nation of Disorder".
But this was also a higher level than the "Fallen Kingdom", but it had not yet reached the level of "Half Great Old One".
For a time, the strong light was "distorted" and "tampered with", and the light in the hall was no longer so dazzling, and Klein's mind suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Hobert also strengthened the "connection" between Klein and the "Fool" Uniqueness, and the speed of accommodation accelerated.
At this time, Hobert looked outside the hall.
Outside His Divine Kingdom, the strong light shone out three illusory kingdoms.
Some of these kingdoms were covered with bright sunflowers, and the sky was always in a bright state.
Some seemed to be composed of books that were either open or controllable, with different figures shuttling through them, enjoying reading.
Some were an endless sea shrouded in storms, rain, lightning, and thunder.
These were the kingdoms of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Lord of Storms respectively.
The three of Them of course supported Klein in becoming the "Lord of the Mysteries", so after Klein "grafted" the peak of the Hornacis Mountains to the cosmos, They watched from afar.
As a result, They were caught in the strong light, and They were instantly busier than Klein.
This was the research of Adam, or rather the Ancient Sun God: using one of the "Visionary" and "Hanged Man" pathways to become a True God, and initially mastering the "Chaos Sea", and then successively recovering the remaining Uniqueness and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, was a relatively easy and least risky way to advance to the "Lord of the Astral World".
At this time, Adam can rely on "envisioning" to realize the remaining, false symbolism and authority, so that he can obtain the strength beyond the sequence level and possess the strength of half a Great Old One in a short time!
And Amon in New City of Silver, according to Adam's guidance, quickly found the target He was looking for.
He habitually pinched his glasses, suddenly jumped up, and jumped directly into the cosmos.
In this process, He had an ancient mottled slate in his left hand at some point.
That was the first "Blasphemy Slate".
Amon once used it to block the gap brought by Mr. "Door's" return ritual, preventing the invasion of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity".
When the return ritual ended and the "Gate of Flesh and Blood" completely collapsed, He retrieved this "Blasphemy Slate".
At this time, Amon threw it away and flew directly into the "Nation of Disorder" built by Hobert.
The space of the "Divine Kingdom" suddenly distorted and rolled, and the surrounding part of the "Blasphemy Slate" immediately collapsed!
The stone door of the hall was reopened, and Amon suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall.
He used the "hole" "chiseled" by the "Blasphemy Slate" on the "Nation of Disorder" to ignore the influence of the "Nation of Disorder" and would not be polluted by the "Nation of Disorder".
This was an "error," an "error" exceeding the level of gods, but it was not unusual for an "error" to occur on Amon.
Amon, who entered the stone door, couldn't be happy, because there was nothing in front of Him.
Originally, Hobert had altered the entire hall from "1" to "2." One hall remained on the summit of the Hornacis Mountains, while the other was pulled into the "shadows" by Hobert.
Simultaneously pulled into the "shadows" were Antigonus, who was in slumber, and Klein, who was striving to accommodate the "Fool" Uniqueness.
Even though Amon had already accommodated the Uniqueness of two pathways and was slightly higher in level than Hobert, He couldn't immediately open the "shadows" within the "Nation of Disorder."
After all, this was within the "Nation of Disorder," Hobert's divine kingdom and His home turf.
But Amon didn't give up. He pondered for a second or two and suddenly had an idea.
In the next instant, His face suddenly turned pale, and an invisible force hoisted Him up, hanging Him from the ceiling.
Using this process, Amon found Antigonus's "spiritual connection."
Creak~
Following this "spiritual connection," He sensed Antigonus within the "shadows." Amon used this "loophole" to directly open an illusory door beside the slumbering Antigonus in the "shadows."
Hobert was also slightly taken aback, not expecting Amon to find a "way" in so quickly.
The "0-80" Book of Law in His hand immediately flipped, and a line of mercury-colored text appeared on the new page: Doors without frames are not true doors.
The door that Amon was pushing open instantly became illusory.
His spirituality allowed Him to see the text on the "Book of Law," so He snapped His fingers, adding a illusory frame to the illusory door.
Hobert glanced at Klein. This was the most crucial moment for accommodating the Uniqueness. The illusory mask had become extremely ethereal.
However, the imprints of the "Celestial Worthy" and Antigonus within it were too deep. If not controlled properly, Klein could instantly lose consciousness, and the "Celestial Worthy" would awaken prematurely.
Klein had just told Hobert that when Antigonus became the "Half-Fool," the "Celestial Worthy's" will became part of His consciousness.
And with Amon's help, after accommodating the Uniqueness, Antigonus had become a "spiritual patchwork monster," making it difficult to distinguish which consciousness belonged to Antigonus and which belonged to the "Celestial Worthy."
It could be said that He was only one step away from the "Celestial Worthy's" preliminary awakening.
Of course, at such a critical juncture, Klein wouldn't tell Hobert in words, but He simply made a gesture, and Hobert understood such a complex meaning.
This was a miracle!
Returning to the present, Hobert's spirituality sensed that if He could endure for the next ten or twenty seconds, the Uniqueness would be accommodated by Klein!
So Hobert perked up and once again injected surging spirituality into the "Book of Law."
A line of mercury-colored text appeared again on this Sealed Artifact: Entry is prohibited without the owner's permission.
Amon had already stepped one leg inside, but seemed to be suddenly blocked by something solid, making it difficult to continue entering the "shadows."
So He made a gesture towards Antigonus, who was sitting in the chair in slumber. The slumbering "Half Fool" suddenly said: "Please, come in!"
Amon took the opportunity to push the door open completely, entering the hall in the "shadows."
Hobert had no choice but to "distort" the distance between Amon, Himself, and Klein, and the three of them were immediately very, very far apart, as if on the edges of different directions in the solar system.
In the next second, Amon instantly "stole" the distance between them, but they were still very, very far apart, because Hobert had timely "tampered" with His "theft."
If Hobert were to fight Amon head-on, He might easily suffer losses, but delaying for a while was not a problem.
Amon's counterattack was exceptionally fierce. He opened door after door in the "Nation of Disorder" behind Hobert.
He had no intention of "entering" any of the doors, but the "doors" He opened had a certain abstract meaning, opening up pathways for the "Nation of Disorder" to communicate with the outside world, making the power of the "Nation of Disorder" suddenly unstable.
Hobert raised a hand, and the "Nation of Disorder" roared into action, all the doors were compressed together and "pushed" out of the "Nation of Disorder."
Amon used this opportunity to "sow" at least a thousand avatars in the hall. Some of these avatars were stealing the increasingly illusory "Fool" Uniqueness, while others were stealing Antigonus himself.
Although the two sides were very, very far apart, they were also within the attack range of Amon's avatars, because this was an "error."
Hobert immediately had at least a thousand substitutes stand around Klein, and "distorted" all the "thefts" of Amon's avatars onto those ordinary substitutes.
He only had one stand-in with a level corresponding to His own; all other substitutes theoretically had no Beyonder abilities.
As for the number of substitutes, it could be completely "tampered" with to be "the same number as Amon's avatars."
Because the substitutes were of a low level, the "thefts" of Amon's avatars were all successful, but there was no Uniqueness of the "Fool" pathway among the substitutes, so those Amon avatars stole nothing.
The Amon avatars who "stole" Antigonus were successful, each clone obtaining one of Hobert's substitutes.
Bang~
The substitutes immediately disappeared, not giving Amon any chance to use them!
While Hobert was resisting Amon's avatars, Amon's main body opened a door on Klein, reaching out to grab the Uniqueness of the "Fool" from inside.
Hobert, hiding in the corner of the "shadows," immediately "distorted" the surrounding direction, and Amon's arm immediately made a 90-degree turn, reaching out in another direction.
But Amon's arm suddenly lengthened, wriggling flexibly like a snake straight towards the "Fool" Uniqueness.
Hobert's same-level stand-in was resisting Amon's avatars, while Hobert's main body was fighting Amon's main body. He simply made the space around Klein "chaotic."
Amon's arm, as it stretched over, distorted and turned, some parts distorted into braids, some parts distorted into complex polygons, and some parts circled Klein several times, but in the end, it never touched the gradually illusory "Fool" Uniqueness.
