Chapter 593 Escape Trick
Chapter 593 Escape Trick
Zarathustra had been waiting for Klein to appear in the gaps of history. Those who came together with the superior had an absolute power to suppress those who came after. At this moment, Klein's action of entering the gaps of history was irreversible. He could only watch helplessly as he was drawn into the vortex and thrown towards the center!
If everything had gone as planned, this is how things would have unfolded.
But Klein had made another preparation—he sensed the mysterious space above the gray fog and, with his initial understanding, made it tremble slightly.
Amidst the gray mists of history, a magnificent palace emerges, appearing and disappearing in mid-air.
"Source Castle!"
Time seemed to have been accelerated, and a layer of shimmering starlight was rapidly stripped away from Klein's body. Consequently, his figure inevitably faded from the "mist of history."
One after another, slippery tentacles made of transparent worms swam over with irresistible force, wrapping around Klein, but then something incredible happened.
The moment the tentacles touched Klein, his figure vanished from the mists of history, leaving behind only a phantom.
The attraction between the "diviners" path was restrained. Klein, who should have been unable to escape this attraction, was rejected by the gaps in history and reappeared directly in reality!
Even though in reality there is the eerie arm of the Rose School leader "God's Abomination" Shea, the angel Hermes who created the ancient Hermes language from ancient times, and the projection of William Augustus I, the first king of Rune—even though Klein hid in the gaps of history to avoid these terrifying enemies, when he faced them again, Klein felt no anxiety or fear whatsoever.
In mid-air, the magnificent palace in the gray mist was still trembling slightly. Klein's figure, which had just been locked onto by the angels, instantly faded and disappeared without a trace.
Above the gray mist, Klein leaned back in his bronze chair and slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"Trump card — that's what you use in this kind of situation."
He sensed the transparent, slippery tentacles tracking the leaked aura of the Source Castle, but now Klein's control over the Source Castle was becoming increasingly complete. With just a thought, he severed the connection, leaving the tentacles frustrated and with nowhere to go.
Even if they wanted to find his physical body through some other connection, it would be impossible—Klein has no physical body in the real world. What is currently inside the "Source Castle" is not his consciousness, but the complete Klein himself.
Yes, Klein is now able to directly enter the "Source Castle" with his body—this is a new privilege he gained after advancing to "Wanderer," a privilege related to the "Door."
After hearing Chloe, the "Power," recount the abilities she gained after switching pathways, Klein was clearly intrigued by this combination that transcended the two pathways themselves, and thus the inspiration came to him.
He quickly contacted the Abraham family through "The Magician" Fors, offering them protection from the Full Moon Eating Language and other conditions in exchange for the potion recipes, rituals, and materials required for advancement to Sequence 3 "Wanderer".
Of course, this can hardly be called a "promotion". Klein used the "Dark Cross" to extract his "Ancient Scholar" trait, and after regressing to Sequence 4 "Trickster", he held the corresponding ceremony again and changed his path to become Sequence 3 "Wanderer" of the "Apprentice" path.
This is why Zarathustra was unable to locate Klein within the fog.
Previously, Klein disguised himself as an "ancient scholar" by relying on the "Yesterday Once More" spell and the "recording" ability of the "Apprentice" path, and with the aura of the Source Castle, he achieved a convincing fake.
After being locked onto by Zarathustra in the mists of history, he quickly used his connection with the "Source Castle" to wash away all pretense of being an "ancient scholar".
The Mystery of History begins with the "Ancient Scholar," a specialized ability unique to the "Diviner" path. Once he loses that identity, Klein quickly reverts to a pure "Wanderer," rejected by the Mystery of History and excluded from the real world.
The "apprentice's" specialty is escaping. After revealing his true identity as a "gateway" saint, how to escape is no longer a problem that troubles Klein.
He could open the "Source Castle" and arrive above the gray fog in the blink of an eye.
He is absolutely safe here.
Klein leaned back in his chair and took a comfortable nap for a while before slowly waking up and reviewing his next plan.
George III's plan to become a god has failed, and Adam, as he said, did not interfere. It seems that it is time for him to fulfill his promise.
Klein turned his gaze to the silhouette of the dragon writhing in agony in the gray fog and reached out to grasp it from afar.
Instantly, the gray mist began to condense, becoming almost tangible—it boiled over, slowly compressing and converging towards "King of Dragons" Angorweid.
Gradually, the space that was originally occupied became narrower and narrower, and eventually returned to its original form—back to the form of "Grossell's Travels" before it encountered "The Pen of Alesshold".
This time, however, its surface was tightly bound with dark gray chains, and the restless pages of the notebook trembled and roared, with the faint silhouettes of dragons moving about.
This is the "sealed" authority of the "apprentice" path, which has also been more powerfully manifested in the gray fog.
The combination of the "Apprentice" path and the "Trickster" ability allowed Klein to manipulate puppets without distance limitations. However, in Backlund, fearing that his hidden abilities would be discovered prematurely, he personally controlled the spirit threads of two of the more important puppets.
Far overseas from Backlund, there are other Mystic Puppets whose spirit threads are directly connected to the "Source Castle" above the gray fog.
So Klein had one of the bodies contact Adam, and with their tacit understanding, they sent out "Grossell's Travels," which contained the extraordinary "writer" characteristics of "Dragon King" Angorweid, as well as the sealed "City of Miracles" Levihild, the divine kingdom that this ancient god had once imagined.
"I was worried that you would use Him to create chaos." After putting away the sealed "Grossell's Travels", Adam's eyes were clear and warm as he looked up at the gray mist. "Fortunately, my judgment of you was correct."
Can I tell you that I've actually already included the immediate release of the "King of Dragons" as one of my trump cards?
Klein merely gave a self-deprecating smirk. He knew Adam couldn't truly see him through the gray fog, so he waved away the communication channel with Adam.
The gray fog calmed down again, ancient and timeless, as if this earth-shattering operation that could change the world's landscape had finally come to a perfect end.

Over the next few days, Klein observed the nation that had failed to give birth to a new god, using the mysterious puppets scattered throughout Rune, from above the gray fog.
The destruction and collapse of the nine deep, dark, and majestic secret mausoleums not only permanently altered the terrain of the area but also triggered a chain reaction. The most significant of these was that George Augustus III, after ingesting the "Black Emperor" potion, lost the support for his ascension ritual, causing him to lose control and fail to ascend.
But for Rune, this was just the beginning.
An angel who was about to become a true god fell due to losing control, and the resulting pollution is immeasurable.
The Lord of Storms personally intervened, using raging thunder and lightning to deal with the "Number One Ruins" located around Backlund, which was the site of the true body of George Augustus III.
However, the remaining eight mausoleums are scattered throughout the country, causing varying degrees of damage.
Various unforeseen events have tied up the army's resources, forcing many saints to withdraw from the war to address the kingdom's internal crises.
The already struggling Loen army inevitably fell into a passive position—Foss had clearly received the news and acted swiftly, seizing the opportunity to expand his gains, tearing a gap in the Amanda Mountains defense line and breaking the fragile balance on the battlefield.
Sensing an opportunity, Fenneport seized the chance to open up a second front.
Before the invasion of the southern and central kingdoms had achieved victory, taking advantage of the fact that Rune's defenses were focused on the north and its forces were weak, they brazenly crossed the border and launched a surprise attack, seizing a considerable amount of territory and even bringing the flames of war to the capital of Dixi County.
The scales of victory slowly tipped in favor of Rune's enemies.
More blood was spilled in the meat grinder called the battlefield, more families were torn apart, and more tears of sorrow were shed.
Objectively speaking, this situation was initiated by Klein. While achieving his goal, Klein did not deny the objective harm he caused.
Now, all he can do is try his best to make amends and minimize the damage caused by the war.
This is mostly reflected in the social activities of the identity of "Dawn Dantes"—by this point, Klein was extremely glad that he had chosen to change course and take the "apprentice" route.
Being able to manipulate marionettes around the world above the safe gray fog allows Klein to avoid many hidden dangers and evade many scheming enemies.
The "Spirit Worms" that make up Klein have now mutated, exhibiting distinct "Star Worm" characteristics—
Or perhaps Klein was originally composed of "Star Worms," only with some of the abilities of "Spirit Worms."
These radiant worms, capable of leaping and traversing the spirit realm while also manipulating the threads of the spirit body, form the foundation of everything. Without personally experiencing this alternative path, Klein believes he would have found it difficult to conceive of this solution that transcends his previous limitations.
Klein is still slowly figuring out how to make the most of these "Star Spirit Bugs" that combine abilities from two different sources. However, it is certain that they can be used to create advanced spells and bullets such as the "Yesterday Once More" spell and "Spirit Control Bullet." They also seem to be a primary material for certain rituals, enriching the methods available to Klein himself and the members of the Tarot Society.
At night, the wealthy businessman Dawn Dantes, who had been running around all day, had already fallen asleep, while above the gray fog, Klein rubbed his eyes wearily, sighed softly, and began to rest.
Before going to sleep, his mind became active:
Indeed, the ability to advance through different pathways is quite remarkable—it's just a pity that the "ancient scholar" is almost finished digesting the information.
Well, according to the theory of the Magic Mirror Arodes, my ability to resurrect is due to the advance of the "Miracle Master" stage ability - and my spiritual intuition tells me that after advancing to Sequence 2 "Miracle Master", the number of times I will be resurrected after death will be reduced by the two previous deaths.
In other words, the mysterious original owner of "Source Castle" foresaw my future advancement to "Miracle Master" while releasing me.
In the process of coming and going, fate has already pointed out the direction.
Klein had a sudden realization: the advancement to Sequence 2 absolutely could not bypass the "Miracle Master," otherwise he would inevitably pay the price for the "miracles" he had preemptively claimed.
Unable to leave the gray fog space for a short time, he decided to take this opportunity to get his hands on the "Miracle Master's" potion recipe.
Once again relying on the abilities of the "Ancient Scholar," Klein materializes an item strongly associated with a Sequence 1 Angel of the "Diviner" pathway who has gone out of control.
After silently reciting the verses seven times, he entered a hazy dream and saw a mountain peak stretching into the white clouds. At the top of the mountain, separated from reality by a transparent boundary, stood a magnificent, dilapidated palace.
In the center of the palace, countless transparent worms huddled together, slowly writhing and proliferating erratically, extending into slippery, patterned tentacles, strikingly similar to Zarathustra, who awaited Klein's trap in the mists of history.
Suddenly, the palace above the gray fog began to shake violently, and Klein's figure was thrown straight up, suspended in mid-air.
The next second, his spirit collapsed into wriggling, dazzling "star worms" that crawled all over the ground.
The "Source Castle" then trembled, everything returned to normal, and Klein's spirit body was reassembled and condensed.
This is precisely where the out-of-control "half-fool" lies. Klein has now attained divinity and can gain knowledge by deciphering the patterns on the surface of mythical creatures.
The uniqueness of the "Fool's" path truly lies in Him—
After whispering for a moment, Klein wrote down the corresponding words on the paper: "Sequence 2: Miracle Worker".
The extraordinary property of "Main material: One heart of the Dark Wolf (God of Wishes), or another miracle worker".
"Auxiliary materials: 300 ml of Dark Wolf blood, one Time Worm, one Star Worm."
"Promotion Ceremony: Bringing a Forgotten History Back to the Present Era."
Lost history—Klein put down his pen and immediately thought of Mr. "Sun" in the "Forsaken Land," and the Silver City struggling to survive in the darkness and amidst out-of-control, terrifying monsters.
It seems that not only the "ancient scholar" but even the ritual for advancing to Sequence 2 was "tailor-made" for me?
Everything seemed to be predestined, which instilled in Klein a nameless fear. But there was still a long way to go, and he would have to digest Sequence 3 before he could advance to Sequence 2.
Without the "tailor-made" approach of the "Ancient Scholar," Klein was at a loss regarding the "Wanderer's" assimilation method. Adam's promise also proved false; the chance to fully digest the Sequence 3 potion was lost, and the "Wanderer" would have to proceed step by step—
Fortunately, I still have "Source Castle".
He rubbed his temples regretfully, a thought suddenly occurring to him.
As the gray mist swirled, an ancient star-gazing instrument suddenly appeared in the center of the bronze table, its points of starlight converging into a dazzling galaxy, arranged before him.
This is a magnificent star map.
