A black cloak reappeared on Klein's body, beneath which was a phantom form. One moment it would manifest as a phantom mask, another as phantom doors, and yet another as a phantom monocle.
He struggled painfully, doing his best to suppress the complete awakening of the Celestial Worthy.
At this moment, the 'Book of Law' in Hobert's hand became illusory once more, but the power of 'Order' was clearly no longer able to suppress the momentum of the Celestial Worthy's awakening.
Dong~
Dong~
Hobert struck the 'Bell of Order' twice in succession, and Klein's will briefly regained the upper hand, his body becoming solid again.
He immediately used the 'Error' ability on Amon's Sequence 1 avatar!
It turned out that Amon's main body had spoken as if he was going to fight to the death, but after 'throwing' the Uniqueness and Beyonder characteristics to Klein, he was left with only the empty shell of his main body's consciousness and thoughts. This 'empty shell' immediately pounced on that Sequence 1 avatar.
Because the Uniqueness and Beyonder characteristics with the Celestial Worthy's spiritual imprint were no longer within his body, Amon's state actually became normal at this time.
He planned to use this Sequence 1 level avatar to escape, and at the same time, merge with another Sequence 1 level avatar. If that were the case, he would still be a King of Angels.
But Hobert, as the 'Black Emperor' god-level 'Disorder', was still influencing that Sequence 1 level avatar, so Amon was unable to escape immediately and was struck by Klein's 'Error'.
This Amon avatar turned back into Hobert's substitute, and the 'Worm of Time' also returned to the substitute's hand.
Without the support of dependence, Amon immediately began to collapse again.
"Alright, I lost this time," Amon's body said as it became illusory: "Sometimes I really don't understand what you two are thinking. There's clearly no need to risk your lives like this. Why do you have to put yourselves in such great danger?"
"Because the rules of this universe are flawed, and we must make some changes." Hobert said coldly: "And gods like you can never risk changing those rules!"
"Only when some changes occur can the lives and destinies of our friends, relatives, and those ordinary people who never appear in your eyes undergo a complete transformation."
Regarding not allowing gods like Amon to become Outer Deities, Hobert's thoughts were completely consistent with Klein's.
Amon shook his head: "Alright, I really don't quite understand what you mean."
At this time, his body completely collapsed and became illusory, finally disappearing completely.
Hobert finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Amon had not died, this opponent could no longer threaten them! His new true body would likely be Sequence 2 at most.
Klein on the other side still looked painful. Hobert struck the 'Bell of Order' again, but the effect was not as good as before!
Klein pinched his forehead and said: "I may need to use a drop of water from the 'River of Eternal Darkness' to put the Celestial Worthy's consciousness to sleep. At the same time, I will also fall into a period of slumber."
Hobert frowned and asked: "Will 'The World' still be able to act freely?"
After all that effort, he still hadn't changed Klein's destiny?
Was this the influence of the Celestial Worthy's 'Arranged Fate', or a manifestation of Adam's abilities?
Klein sensed his own state, and then said: "Yes, but only at the King of Angels level."
"That's good." Hobert smiled slightly, so it seemed that Klein's fate had still been forcibly changed to some extent. At least 'The World' didn't have to slumber along with him!
"He will walk in the world in my place, accumulating 'miracles' and maintaining humanity." Klein completely understood Hobert's meaning. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and say: "At this moment, I finally understand the Ancient Sun God's helplessness back then."
"Your situation is better than the Ancient Sun God's." Hobert smiled and said: "You still have friends to help you. When I become a Great Old One, I should be able to use the 'Bell of Order' to completely suppress the thought of the Celestial Worthy's resurrection in your body."
Klein slowly nodded: "I look forward to that day coming."
Then he said: "Next, I will convene an emergency Tarot Gathering."
Hobert dispelled his substitute that had just been parasitized by Amon: "Okay."
With a wave of his hand, the Beyonder characteristic of the 'Worm of Time' in the substitute's hand floated towards Klein: "This can be given to Leonard to cultivate an opponent for Amon."
Klein smiled knowingly.
Before the Outer Deities discovered them, the two immediately left the depths of space.
… …
"Forsaken Land of the Gods", in the midst of the giant cross, behind the shadow curtain.
A young man with black hair, black eyes, and a broad forehead suddenly sat up.
It was Amon!
Amon, wearing a classic black robe, reached out his left hand, trying to take out a monocle made of crystal from the 'void'.
But this time, he didn't get anything.
Amon heard Adam's voice in his ear, without any emotion: "Both of them have a persistence that is higher than life, but for you, besides yourself, there is almost nothing worth caring too much about.
"So you lost, and you lost completely."
It was precisely because Adam helped stabilize his state that Amon dared to allow the initial awakening of the Celestial Worthy's will.
Amon curled the corner of his mouth, seemingly wanting to respond with a smile, but found that he couldn't smile.
Adam's voice continued to come from the shadows: "As a born Full Mythical Creature, although you know what courage and sacrifice are, it is difficult for you to understand."
Amon's expression changed slightly. He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before suddenly raising his head and saying: "Next, I plan to leave here and sneak into the cosmos. It must be much more exciting and stimulating than the real world!"
Adam said again: "Klein's summary of you is very thorough. It seems that you have long prepared a way out for yourself."
He paused and then said: "But it's very dangerous there. Before I succeed, I can't provide any more help."
Amon said nothing more and disappeared into the shadow curtain.
… …
Hobert had just returned to the Angel palace, rested for a while, and was pulled into the 'Sefirah Castle' again.
At this time, Klein, who had gone to the kingdom of the Evernight Goddess and brought back the Magic Mirror Arrodes, was sitting in the 'Fool's' seat, smiling as he watched the members appear one by one.
The sudden summons obviously took the members such as 'Justice' Audrey by surprise, making them a little surprised and astonished. Even the most insensitive member among them smelled an atmosphere of unease.
At this time, Klein, who was the real 'Fool', said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "This is a temporary gathering!"
Audrey keenly heard from his voice that Mr. Fool was very tired.
Then she discovered that Hobert, who was sitting in the 'Emperor's' seat opposite, also seemed very tired.
Two consecutive fierce battles, coupled with the fact that the divinity in Hobert's body was still somewhat active, even a god would be tired.
Combined with the strange celestial phenomena that had appeared before, Audrey guessed that something major must have happened in the extraordinary world.
She looked around and stood up as usual, saluting the head of the mottled long table: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
After the greetings were over, Klein said in a low voice: "I will enter a slumber."
Hearing this sentence, members such as 'Hanged Man' Alger felt a sinking in their hearts, and even felt somewhat flustered, not understanding why such a thing would happen.
"This involves a war Above the Sequences." Klein explained again.
Only then did the other members breathe a sigh of relief. Alger in particular immediately thought: Could this be the war in which Mr. Fool obtained the corresponding power of 'Above the Sequence'? In this war, Mr. Fool successfully retrieved the authority, but had to rest for a period of time?
"Hermit" Cattleya suspected: Could it be that during the war, the Convergence of Beyonder characteristics caused great pressure on Mr. Fool's spirit, so he needed to slumber to relieve it?
The other members also had similar guesses, which were based on the conjectures they encountered when they were promoted.
Even at their current level, they would feel very tired when they were just promoted, let alone Mr. Fool who had regained the authority of the 'Outer Deities'.
Although they were not very clear whether this was the correct answer, their flustered emotions disappeared without a trace.
Klein looked around at the other members, and then said: "Next, there is a long-term commission issued to all members:
"Spread my name more widely, but do not conflict with the orthodox churches. This will help me wake up."
He planned to increase the number of his anchors, which might be helpful in the battle against the Celestial Worthy in dreams.
"The reward is the convenience you have enjoyed in the past, the responses you have received, and the corresponding help you will receive when you pray in the future." Klein said unhurriedly: "After I slumber, I can still respond to prayers to a certain extent."
It's just that most of the time 'The World' will respond to prayers, and the so-called 'certain extent' probably means what a King of Angels can do.
Regarding Mr. Fool's request, the Tarot Club members present did not find it difficult. Most of them were spreading the faith of 'The Fool' to varying degrees.
"Yes, Mr. Fool!"
So the Tarot Club members accepted this long-term commission without any hesitation.
"The Fool" Klein nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Cattleya: "The previous commission: collecting information from all aspects of the sudden revival of the 'Hidden Sage' is still valid.
"If key information can be collected, the reward is a wish."
Cattleya was silent for a second or two before saying: "I accept this commission."
Following this, Klein assigned tasks to the other members one by one. "The Sun" Derrick's task was to protect the new City of Silver, with the reward being to become a blessed of "The Fool."
"The Magician" Fors's task was to protect the Abraham family and prevent them from being tempted by the stars, with the reward being to help her prepare the "Traveler" ritual.
"The Moon" Emlyn's task was to establish a pharmaceutical company to research how to mass-produce potions with magical effects, and the reward was also a wish.
"The Star" Leonard's task was to create a poem praising the deeds of "The Fool," which made Leonard somewhat embarrassed, but he eventually agreed, and the reward was also a wish.
"Justice" Audrey's task was to actively approach the "Psychology Alchemists," and if the opportunity arose, she could control the organization with the help of "The Emperor," with the reward still being a wish.
"The Hanged Man" Alger's task was not specified by "The Fool." He only said, "After a while, you will know what your task is."
The reward for Alger was the "Sea God Scepter."
Finally, when it came to "The Emperor," Klein said, "Your task... Well, it can't be called a task. What you will do next is the key to whether I can wake up as soon as possible."
"Although it looks very dangerous and there will be some twists and turns, you will definitely succeed."
Hobert looked at "The Fool": "Is this a prophecy?"
"No, this is a blessing," Klein said slowly as before.
After all, both "The Fool" and "The Error" had some authority over fate. And "He" had the symbolism of the Beacon of Destiny, the guide of the tributaries of the River of Fate.
"Thank you," Hobert said.
The other members noticed that the tone of the conversation between the two was more like friends than the previous superior-subordinate relationship.
After explaining to each member, he took a deep breath and said, "After this, you can still gather here on the first Sunday afternoon of each month, but there will be no more summoners."
"My blessed 'The World' will be the host of the gathering."
"The World" immediately stood up and said, "Thank you for your trust."
"The Fool" Klein laughed and said, "Just don't be bewitched by Adam again."
"The World" Gehrman Sparrow immediately became a little frightened: "Never again!"
The other members first realized: Mr. Fool's humanity has increased before he fell asleep!
Then they were very surprised: "The World" had been bewitched by Adam before?
Alger had already begun a series of associations: More precisely, it should be that he was affected by Adam's ability, right? It must have been some mistake made by "The World" that put "The Fool" and "The Creator" in a certain passive position. After the battle ended, Mr. Fool had no choice but to enter a deep sleep.
The reason for adding "The Creator" was because Alger also noticed that "The Emperor" seemed a little tired, and it was likely that he had also participated in the battle for the Fool's authority with "The Creator."
The other members had similar guesses, but only Hobert knew that Klein was performing a conversation with his marionette in front of him to strengthen his own humanity.
At the same time, it was also a joke about the previous incident of being plotted against by Adam.
"The Fool" Klein nodded to "The World": "This gathering ends here."
The Tarot Club members couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable sadness, as if a grand ball had come to an end.
Klein added: "Every journey has an end. Don't be sad, but look forward to the coming of the next journey!"
The members stood up at the same time and solemnly saluted "The Fool": "Your will is our will."
Klein waited for them to finish speaking before dispelling the maintenance, watching the deep red stars disperse one by one.
Finally, only the star representing "The Emperor" did not dissipate immediately. As a True God, Hobert could delay his departure: "Friend, this is not a farewell. You are just going to rest for a while. Good luck."
Klein smiled and said, "Thank you."
Hobert waved his hand and left.
"The World" at the lower end of the bronze table also said, "Good luck."
Klein "Mmm"ed, beckoned to bring the Magic Mirror Arrodes, and climbed the steps to the strange light gate with a cyan-black light.
Arriving at the light gate, He raised his head and looked at the transparent "cocoons" hanging from the light gate.
After sensing for a moment with his eyes closed, Klein raised his right hand, and the "cocoons" shattered, turning the people inside into specks of light, flying out of the "Sefirah Castle" and falling towards some recently deceased people in the real world.
After doing this, Klein lowered his head, looked at the "Magic Mirror" in his palm, and asked, "Are you afraid?"
A pale white word was outlined on the surface of the ancient silver mirror: "Not afraid."
In the next second, Arrodes asked his own question according to the rules: "Great Master, are you afraid?"
The corners of Klein's mouth moved slightly: "I am afraid!"
After saying that, he strode forward, holding the "Magic Mirror," and walked towards the middle of the strange light gate, passing through the past.
His figure disappeared behind the door, which hid something unknown.
…
Atlantis Kingdom, Angel Palace.
Hobert got up from his lounge and returned to his office.
As he expected, the mature and lazy Fors and the youthful and beautiful Audrey came one after another. At this time, the two Queens both had solemn expressions and some doubts in their eyes.
"I know what you want to ask," Hobert said.
The two Queens did not rush to ask questions when they heard this, but sat opposite his desk according to Hobert's gestures.
"'Amon has fallen," Hobert explained.
Fors and Audrey were slightly stunned, but they were not surprised by this.
Because The Fool must have seized Amon's relevant authority before he had to enter a deep sleep.
"I'm going to rest for the next few days," Hobert said. "I will come back to attend the celebration reception!"
After unifying the Southern Continent, the entire imperial government has been operating at "saturation," and only recently have the various tasks finally not been as busy as before.
Therefore, the imperial government has launched a celebration reception for the unification of the Southern Continent and the enthronement of His Majesty the Emperor, and gave civil servants a day off to rest a little.
Audrey asked with some concern: "Did you also participate in the war?"
"Yes," Hobert said truthfully. "And I was affected a bit, so I have to find a quiet place to calm down."
Hearing this, the two Queens breathed a sigh of relief. Hobert only used the word "calm down," so the problem should not be big.
Hobert chatted with them for a few words and then left by "tampering" with his own position.
In the next second, Hobert appeared in his mausoleum when he was promoted.
All the prisoners of war, prisoners, and nobles who participated in the construction of the mausoleum have been killed, and even their spirits have been stirred up.
Only some of Hobert's confidants were "hypnotized" by Audrey and forgot that they built a mausoleum for the emperor.
Therefore, Hobert's nine mausoleums are still in a state of absolute Concealment.
In the quiet mausoleum, Hobert's somewhat impetuous mood quickly calmed down a lot. At the same time, there was also an magnification effect on the anchor here, which instantly stabilized Hobert's state.
The reason why Hobert felt tired before was because the part of divinity belonging to the "Original Creator" was originally in a dormant state and did not give Hobert any mental pressure.
Affected by the revival of "Celestial Worthy", that part of the will has become active, and even a part of it seems to have been replaced by "Celestial Worthy", and Hobert has to work hard to suppress it.
Fortunately, Hobert's condition has been very good, and he has played the role of "Black Emperor" before. With the help of the mausoleum to stabilize his condition, he quickly suppressed the will of "Celestial Worthy".
But Hobert could still feel a very serious sense of fatigue, so he had to enter a state of "meditation", forcing himself to sleep and rest.
…
At the same time, in the servant room of the Atlantis Palace.
Second-class servant Jeff suddenly sat up from his bed, and then heard the exclamations around him and the sound of someone falling.
Jeff was stunned for a second or two, and got a lot of memories about this world with only the Northern and Southern continents from the "original owner's" brain. For a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up: I have traveled through time!
"Jeff! You... how are you feeling?" A middle-aged man next to him asked with some trembling.
Jeff then realized that there were still several people standing around him, led by a middle-aged man and several young people.
Without exception, they all looked surprised. Two young people had just been frightened and fell down because Jeff suddenly sat up.
Jeff "recalled" that in the morning, a vision suddenly appeared in the sky, and the whole sky became very bright!
The "original owner" accidentally slipped and fell into a remote artificial lake because of this, and was soon drowned because he couldn't swim.
Thinking of this, Jeff coughed up a mouthful of water: "I'm fine."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to a young man: "Quick, quick, go after the messenger of death, Grieg. If you can catch up, that's the best. If you can't catch up, explain it to Jeff's family."
The doctor in the palace had already confirmed that Jeff was already dead.
The middle-aged man, who was also Jeff's direct supervisor, then sent someone to report the death and prepared to have several young people send Jeff's body back.
Just as they were preparing to carry the body, Jeff suddenly sat up.
The middle-aged man patted Jeff on the shoulder: "Take a day off today and continue working tomorrow."
"Paul, you stay with Jeff, and come to me immediately if anything happens."
He was still a little unbelievable that Jeff had come back to life like this, so he asked Paul to stay with Jeff in case Jeff had any other problems.
After everyone went back to work, Jeff looked out the window at the buildings outside. "How… How does it feel like I'm living in a scenic spot?"
In his memory, this was clearly a world with a British style and the technological level of around World War I. Why are the buildings outside all such a modern style?
As more and more memories surfaced in his mind, Jeff immediately realized: I'm not the only transmigrator! The one who transmigrated earlier has already become the emperor! And he married two such beautiful empresses!
Then he thought of the name Atlantis Empire: I didn't even notice just now that this is obviously a name that a transmigrator would take! It's like England, France, America, and Intis. Intis is very abrupt among them, and Atlantis has the same abruptness in this world.
So Jeff asked Paul beside him, "How can I see the Emperor?"
Paul was stunned for a good two or three seconds before saying, "You'll have to find the head male servant for that."
The so-called head male servant was the middle-aged man from earlier. He was a senior male servant, one of the head male servants in the palace.
Without another word, Jeff found the head male servant who was busy and explained his purpose.
The head male servant, like Paul, was stunned for a moment: "Did… Did the water you drank go straight to your head? A second-class male servant wants to see His Majesty the Emperor?"
