Aaron understood immediately, raising his right hand slightly. An ancient silver mirror with strange patterns flew out from the dark golden mist.
The "eyes" on both sides of the mirror, decorated with black gems, inexplicably gave off a feeling of panic. It was the Magic Mirror Arrodes.
Ignoring the pale text rapidly appearing on the mirror's surface, Aaron lit up the prayer star symbolizing Cavendish. Then, as if remembering something, he raised his empty left hand as well.
Dense mist rippled, and a greenish-black giant's head emerged, its characteristic single eye still containing a lingering insane will.
It was the head of Giant King Aurmir, which he had obtained deep within the Spirit World. Even though the Glory characteristic within it had been stripped away by the Evernight Goddess, its extremely high essence remained unaffected.
Without further hesitation, Aaron opened the Door of Bestowal and threw Arrodes and the ancient god's head, which had been simply sealed, inside.
-----------------
In an abandoned city-state in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, far from the Giant King's Court.
The quietly burning bonfire dispelled the darkness. Feeling his stomach full, Klein reinserted the iron-black skewer, which still had some mushrooms on it, back beside the bonfire.
After resurrecting in this abandoned land, to avoid leading Amon's future pursuit towards the City of Silver, Klein deliberately chose the opposite direction and left some traces, while also exploring the lost history to digest the remaining Scholar of Yore potion.
During this time, he had already overcome the shadows left by Frank's mushrooms. Only occasionally would he have his great pirate and divine envoy, "Blazing" Danitz, whose bounty had exceeded ten thousand pounds, sacrifice some normal food to change his palate.
Glancing at the silver-white lightning that occasionally cut through the darkness, Klein was about to use a paper-figure angel to eliminate possible traces and continue exploring when illusory, overlapping prayers suddenly reached his ears.
Leaving a historical projection, Klein, whose true body had already returned to Sefirah Castle, leaned back against the chair with a solemn expression. After listening to Miss Justice's prayer, he flicked the gold coin he had taken from the pile of sundries.
Glancing at the gold coin that had fallen back into his palm, Klein's consciousness sank back into reality, locking onto La Cha Island in the historical mist. He continuously reached out, grasping at the void.
A few minutes later, Klein, having found nothing, exhaled lightly. His spiritual intuition had already told him the reason for his failure: it stemmed from the limitations of Historical Projections themselves, which was the inability to summon things involving a Uniqueness.
In other words, when that fellow transmigrator sent him to the Forsaken Land of the Gods, he had already accommodated a Uniqueness, becoming the strongest among those below the gods.
With this thought, Klein pondered for a moment, then raised his hand again. This time, he summoned Aaron, whom he had met in the Foggy Town after advancing to demigod.
The spiritual burden suddenly increased, yet Klein, who succeeded in just one attempt, scrutinized the figure that rapidly materialized as he pulled his arm back.
His slightly dull pupils instantly became lively. Aaron's gaze swept over the surrounding abandoned city-state, then looked at Klein and said with a chuckle, teasingly:
"We meet again, Mr. Fool…"
Feeling that the spiritual consumption was still within an acceptable range, Klein coughed lightly and directly asked the guess in his heart:
"Audrey has informed me that George III is preparing to advance to Black Emperor. Is there anything you need my help with?"
As Klein was reviewing the powers he could wield in Sefirah Castle with prayers and various Sealed Artifacts, he saw Aaron slowly shake his head. His casual reply made Klein's mouth twitch:
"That won't be necessary. I have been preparing for this for three years, and I can mobilize more than ten angels and corresponding Sequence 0 Sealed Artifacts. George III's fate is already sealed."
Spiritual light gathered beside Aaron, materializing into two ancient parchment scrolls. He flicked them, sending them to the momentarily speechless Klein, and continued in a calm tone:
"I told you before that Amon's true body is not currently in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, but after George III falls, He will be able to gather the last Sequence 1 characteristic and return here."
Klein's expression changed slightly. The words he was about to utter stopped abruptly as his gaze swept over the few pages of parchment floating before him:
"Sequence 1 Attendant of Mysteries… Sequence 0 Fool…"
The sudden pleasant surprise diluted the gloom brought by Amon. Even without divination, the magnified spiritual intuition from Sefirah Castle reminded Klein that both potion formulas were real.
With just a glance, he memorized all the formulas and advancement rituals. Klein did not pretend to decline; instead, he felt a sense of openness, as if having too many debts meant not worrying about repayment.
"The Demonic Wolf in the Forsaken Land of the Gods has been missing since it was severely wounded last time. Either it has completely hidden itself, or it has become Amon's plaything, and either way means that the Miracle Invoker characteristic is not for you."
Aaron paused deliberately, enjoying the change in Klein's expression, and continued:
"However, I have already exchanged 0-32 from the Church of the Lord of Storms. That is a Sealed Artifact formed from a Miracle Invoker characteristic. You can find me again before you prepare to advance."
"As for the map I gave you before, apart from the areas Cavendish personally explored, which are absolutely accurate, the rest were only roughly inferred through ritual divination."
"The special area marked on it belongs to the latter. Its specific location, besides Amon and the True Creator, probably only that Magic Mirror can find."
Just as the image of that sycophantic Magic Mirror formed in his mind, Klein suddenly turned his head alertly. Intense spiritual fluctuations were emanating from there.
The projection still possessed the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic. Aaron had sensed the identity of the newcomer even earlier and motioned for Klein not to be nervous.
Ever since his consciousness descended into this historical projection, He had transmitted his location to Cavendish through the Nation of Disorder. With the assistance of the historical projection of the Star Crown, this amount of time was sufficient to arrive from the City of Silver.
A faint blue starlight abruptly appeared then dimmed. Cavendish stepped out from it, and the brilliant crown on his head dissipated. After bowing to Aaron, he threw the Magic Mirror to the relieved Klein.
As the Magic Mirror flipped, brilliant fireworks were vaguely visible surging across its surface.
"My Supreme, Great, and Most High Master, your humble and loyal servant Arrodes misses you so much!"
Watching the golden Loen characters one by one, Klein's mouth twitched. He couldn't stand the mirror's flattery, so he immediately coughed lightly, took out the map, and lightly tapped the marked vast area.
Aaron took the ancient god's head from Cavendish's hand, maintaining the Law Seal while looking at the Magic Mirror, which had illusory arms reaching out from both sides of its surface, tightly hugging Klein's arm, and added:
"Just like how you sensed the aura of Sefirah Castle before, search for the location within that area where the Chaos Sea's aura is most concentrated or where its source is."
"You come from the Chaos Sea, so your ability to pinpoint the aura should be even stronger than Sefirah Castle's."
