Above the Gray Fog, within that ancient palace.
Klein leaned back in The Fool's high-backed chair, setting down the sea god scepter he held. The extensive influence he had exerted over the sea earlier had consumed a considerable amount of his spirituality.
Taking a breath, he extended his spirituality to envelop himself, preparing to leave the space above the Gray Fog.
His gaze swept around, stopping when it landed on the high-backed chair belonging to the Tower. A faint sense of unease settled in his heart.
Something is going to happen. A thought flashed through his mind. Klein quickly reined in his spirituality. As a Beyonder skilled in divination, especially while on the Gray Fog, he trusted his intuition implicitly.
He then beckoned, summoning a paper figure from the Gray Fog beside him, and at the same time, picked up the black emperor card lying face down on the table with his left hand.
He swiftly infused spirituality into the paper figure and flicked it away. The paper figure expanded and distorted in mid-air, transforming into a tall angel with twelve pairs of dark wings.
Following Klein's thought, this tall paper angel quickly merged into the crimson star representing Leyton.
Klein's brows gradually furrowed. He felt that the paper figure he had just thrown out seemed to have no effect.
Immediately, he extended his spirituality to touch the crimson star representing Leyton. There was no reaction whatsoever after his spirituality touched the crimson star, as if the object establishing contact with the crimson star did not exist.
What's going on? Is it being isolated by some powerful force? But, even the Forsaken Land of the Gods, I can reach through this Gray Fog. Is it some kind of special Beyonder ability?
As he pondered, Klein swiftly extended his spirituality to envelop himself, simulating the sensation of falling.
He needed to return to shore as quickly as possible, find a safe place, and provide assistance to Al, who was in trouble.
With a slight disorientation, Klein found himself back inside the mouth of the giant marine creature. He took off the black cloth bag tied around his waist and, relying on the pre-left marks, found the charm that could communicate with marine creatures.
"Storm!" He chanted in ancient hermes, activating his surroundings.
The white tin charm in his hand instantly turned to dust, and a faint blue stream of light shot out from it, entering Klein's body.
He felt a peculiar connection establish between himself and this enormous marine creature, allowing him to transmit his thoughts into its mind.
"Approach the coast, float upwards."
As soon as Klein transmitted the command to the marine creature through his thoughts, the creature's feedback appeared in his mind:
"Danger, above, danger!"
Klein again fumbled for a charm that could increase his affinity with marine creatures, and whispered:
"Storm!"
The charm once again turned to dust and vanished. In an instant, Klein felt the goodwill conveyed to him by the marine creature.
Taking advantage of the charm's effect, he once again conveyed his thoughts:
"Take me up, closer to the coast."
The giant marine creature again conveyed a sense of great danger, but its body honestly moved closer to the surface of the sea.
After approaching the surface, the marine creature refused to go any further up, so Klein had no choice but to make it open its mouth and allow him to leave its oral cavity.
Relying on the underwater breathing charm, Klein began to swim towards the surface. Once he left the sea, he could use the levitation charm to move forward.
The best way would be to have the fish in the ocean give me a ride; that would be much faster than swimming back myself. Unfortunately, the chaos just now caused all the marine creatures in the surrounding waters that could run to flee. As for the remaining ones, I probably swim faster than them.
After swimming towards the surface for a while, his movements suddenly paused. In his line of sight, a layer of yellowish-green foam floated up on the originally shimmering sea surface.
His spiritual intuition warned him, making him instinctively move away from the sea surface. Toxins? If this continues, this entire sea area will be polluted. Why hasn't "Sea King" of the Church of the Lord of Storms made a move yet?
As if in response to his thoughts, a fierce gust of wind suddenly swept across the sea surface, carrying warm rain and rising into the high sky.
Boom!
A terrifying sonic boom suddenly erupted, accompanied by the wailing of the wind domain. The immense impact directly shattered all the invisible spider webs on the sea surface, tearing apart Leyton's body, which had Fallen into a deep sleep.
"Mm-hm~" A soft groan, like a gasp, came from the void beside them. It was as if an invisible curtain was being torn open, and a figure emerged, dressed in a simple, pure white robe, with glossy, dark hair cascading down. Her ears, eyes, and nostrils were still oozing traces of fresh blood. Her gaze was fixed on the spot where Leyton's body had been torn apart, her eyes filled with bewilderment and disbelief.
The next moment, as her figure rapidly moved, she reached forward, trying to grasp a portion of the shattered flesh.
The moment she touched the scattered flesh, it disintegrated, turning into light composed of one complex knowledge after another.
These lights rapidly converged at Leyton's previous location, restructuring his body with complex and pure knowledge, a body not in slumber, nor affected by negative effects like poisoning or paralysis.
A cloak adorned with numerous symbolic patterns and a strange eye draped over Leyton. Relying on the Sage's Robe's ability to reset its own state within 30 seconds, he successfully broke free from the effects he had suffered.
As soon as his figure solidified, he suddenly became transparent, transforming into a transparent statue composed of brilliant starlight.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Loud sonic booms, mixed with the wailing of the wind, rang out one after another. The transparent statue, formed by brilliant starlight, instantly shattered, turning into specks of starlight that were swept towards the distant sea. The Demoness figure that had just emerged was also carried away from this sea area by the immense impact.
Dark clouds began to gather in layers in the sky. As a silver-white electric serpent shot out, lightning began to strike densely, carrying a substantial, tyrannical aura of destruction, enveloping the surrounding hundreds of meters in a thunder forest.
The brilliant starlight broke through the embrace of the airflow, surging in specks into the sea surface, and rapidly moving towards the deep sea.
Making the same choice as him was another pure white, graceful figure, or rather, she was chasing Leyton.
Under the pressure of the seawater, her proud figure was revealed in its entirety. The simple pure white robe, soaked by the seawater, became faintly transparent, vaguely revealing the charms beneath.
Her hair spread out in the seawater like water grass, extending and growing wildly. Each black strand of hair was connected to an invisible transparent thread, and these threads intertwined to form an exaggerated spider web.
Deep, quiet black flames suddenly shot up from the invisible, ethereal threads. They used spirituality as their fuel, burning silently and eerily in the seawater.
The brilliant starlight surging wildly in the seawater gradually slowed down, as if being interfered with, and began to converge towards the center.
Within the patches of starlight, the brilliant starlight gradually dimmed and became tinged with a deep, dark black.
This deep black rapidly spread outwards. In just a moment, the surrounding seawater was dyed black, and a Fallen aura instantly permeated the area.
The spider webs with deep, quiet black smoke rising around them were coated with a sticky, dark black. They either instantly corroded and broke, or showed signs of becoming Fallen, and tried to attack the Demoness who had spread her hair.
The Demoness in the simple white robe always wore a subtle, almost imperceptible smile, seemingly confident in herself. Only when the full extent of the Fallen dark black permeated the area did a hint of surprise flash in her deep yet innocent blue eyes.
Immediately, layers of frost began to spread around her, directly freezing the threads and black flames that were attacking her due to the Fallen influence.
The level of this Fallen power is very high. Where did he analyze this level of Beyonder ability from?
As her thoughts began to stir, the surrounding seawater rapidly surged upwards, as if pushed by an invisible hand, rising into the high sky, towards that dense silver-white forest.
The dark black, full of Fallen aura, which had just spread out, was continuously bombarded by lightning carrying a tyrannical and destructive aura, and quickly began to dissipate, gradually contracting.
The dark black, full of Fallen aura, surged and converged like water, and soon, it condensed into a human figure three to four meters tall.
