Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 30 Extra if line: Three-year agreement
Star is probably dead.

Many years later, Klein looked up at Amon who had suddenly entered Sefirah Castle, and recalled the last words Star left in the book that day.

他 说:

"Don't leave any regrets."

Klein did as he was told.

So, Old Neil finally let go of the past with the help of a psychiatrist in Backlund and started a new life.

So, Captain Dunn also married Daly.

However, he was the only one who stayed in Tingen forever...

In mid-air, Amon raised his hands and said with a smile:
"It's a pity, even if you were foresighted and made so many arrangements."

"In the end, I was tricked into the most important one."

Yes, with the notes Star left in that book.

Thus, I am finally no longer a fool with nothing in my heart—I can also easily grasp the secrets of the divine level.

So, I conquered the four archangels, and Darkness became my ally in advance.

So, I quickly soared on the road to promotion and became a real god in three years.

But, my first relative——he has passed away forever...

Amon above opened his hands heavily, tearing apart the void on which Klein and the surrounding environment depended for survival.

The void was like glass, breaking into pieces and shattering into pieces, collapsing like a tall building.

However, all the collapse and destruction passed around Klein's body and did not directly affect him.

He was like a small fishing boat sailing steadily in a storm, appearing so abrupt and inharmonious, yet seemed to belong here and blend in with the surroundings.

Amon raised his hand to adjust the monocle on his right eye socket, and the smile on his face faded a little.

"How do you know? I was fooled by you this time."

Klein did not make any unnecessary movements, but just opened his mouth to mock.

His tone was strangely calm, as if he was narrating a trivial matter.

"You...know it again?"

Amon said in a doubtful tone.

"Is it your friend again?"

Klein stared at the other party, and while continuing to use the power of "Fool", he slowly exhaled and sighed:
"Yes."

"It's hard to imagine that he knew so much."

"Leaving this arrangement behind again."

And, I did it.

I didn't disappoint his expectations.

Spread the ideas he wants to convey,

In alliance with various religious sects,

Worthy of my title of God,

I am worthy of my senior Star...

Amon's expression was stiff. He stopped Klein's "fooling" and raised his monocle. He said:
"I'm curious, which note in his book was it this time? What did you find?"

Klein grinned and laughed:
"For you, there is almost nothing worth caring about except yourself."

"Even if you enter Sefirah Castle and fight me, how could you not leave a clone outside and let Adam personally maintain your mental state?"

"Your most serious hidden danger is that you must always maintain a normal connection with that body. Once it is disturbed, your condition will be affected. However, this connection is actually very fragile under the division of the 'Source Castle'."

"You deliberately showed yourself to be half crazy. Not only did you trick me into looking for opportunities in this direction and stepping into your trap, but you also concealed this fact and prevented me from fighting around that connection."

"Of course, there are still many problems besides this. After all, you are not really ready yet. If I find out about these things in advance, even if I am only the Angel King who has mastered the uniqueness, I will still be able to defeat you."

The corners of Klein's mouth curled up, as if he was saying to Amon:
"Congratulations, you fell into the trap."

Amon listened to Klein quietly. Unusually, he did not interrupt him or attempt to attack him. He waited until he finished speaking, then spoke with a slightly strange expression:

"Which sentence is his advice?"

"first sentence."

Klein responded casually without even looking up.

他 说:

"Xiao Ke, for your biggest enemy, there is almost nothing worth caring about except himself."

That was a sentence that Star left in Klein's notebook.

As he read through it more and more times, the notebook had been engraved deep in Klein's memory.

So, Star, it turns out that the so-called gods are just like this...

The so-called "God of Fraud" doesn't even dare to put himself on the line.

He's just a bad gambler...

Klein laughed, and his tears almost came out.

Amon raised his hand to adjust the crystal monocle in his right eye socket, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, smiled and sighed:
"Are you crazy?"

"You did see my condition, but in order to set this trap, you also put yourself at risk."

Klein had just been promoted, and he had used the power of "Fool" many times in succession. The fragile balance in his body was on the verge of collapse. If he did not stabilize his mental state as soon as possible, the will of "Tianzun" would awaken further.

This is also a serious problem.

Amon stroked his crystal monocle and said, "Tsk!"
"Is all this worth it?"

But Klein just continued to seal off the entire "Source Castle" and laughed:

“This is the best time.”

"If I hadn't been promoted to The Fool so quickly, you would have been able to enter Sefirah Castle in your best condition and solve everything in a little while."

"If I hadn't set this trap, you would have also used the 'back door' of 'Source Castle' to prevent me from deepening my control over 'Source Castle'."

"By then, you will just keep hiding and running away, and won't care that the end of the world requires the birth of a 'Lord of Mysteries'."

Moreover, the world's barrier is gradually collapsing, and the erosion of the Outer Gods has become more and more profound.

Moreover, if I leave Amon, who controls both paths, alone, he will take advantage of my kindness and cause trouble outside.

Moreover, the longer it is from three years ago, the harder it is for me to revive the real Star from the historical projection...

Klein continued to narrate to Amon:

"You are born strong and cunning."

"You like excitement and seek pleasure. You seem to be willing to do anything for them, but you plan carefully every time and never put your life in danger."

"You haven't really been severely traumatized or put in a desperate situation at all."

"You don't understand sacrifice."

"In contrast to your attitude towards your own power, he told me something."

"The Beyonder is such a pitiful existence, fighting against danger and madness in order to protect something."

"Just like the tragic hero in the manuscript he left behind—"

"We are guardians, and we are also a group of wretches who are always fighting against danger and madness."

Amon stared at the increasing number of evil tentacles extending from under Klein's dark cloak, took a slow breath, and said with a smile:

"The 'Lord of Mysteries' in you is about to truly awaken."

The smile on Klein's face already had a bit of a nervous feel:

"You can also compete on this point."

"Our next battle is simple. It's just a matter of who has more awakened will of the Lord of Mysteries in their body and who has a deeper control over the Sefirah Castle. Fifty percent, seventy percent, ninety percent, all the way to one hundred percent. Then, bang, we will explode and He will be back."

"How about it? Do you want to make a bet to see who can't hold on first? This is very exciting and interesting, and it suits your taste. It's just like the popular roulette in Feysac. Two people hold a revolver with a bullet in it, and take turns pulling the trigger at their own temples. Whoever gives up first will let the other person win. If neither of them gives up and persists to the end, there will be no winner, only "He"."

Amon's eyebrows moved, he smiled, and said nothing.

Klein looked at Him and said with a smile:
"You are just like Star teased you, a little crow crying for food."

"As a mythical creature, you have never known what courage is, right?"

"You have a hard time understanding true human nature."

Amon curled the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to respond with a smile or two, but in the end he said nothing.

I can only curse:
"You're really crazy."

Klein responded with a nonchalant smile:

“To others, it does seem crazy.”

“But it’s just a choice for me.”

"Rather than the end of the world approaching, the situation is at a stalemate."

"I prefer to have such a final battle. As long as we win, a 'Lord of Mysteries' will be born."

"And the 'Lord of Mysteries' is the true Old One, looking down on the universe and regarding most creatures as insects. This would actually distance Him from reality."

"The tasks Star has assigned to me will eventually be completed."

At this point, Klein raised the corners of his mouth exaggeratedly and said:

"I don't have much to lose, just myself."

“Some things always stand out above others.”

Amon kept smiling but said nothing.

Klein then looked around and found the "Trunsost Brass Book" among the pieces of wilderness fragments floating in the void.

He immediately burst into laughter and said:

"You see, I was not punished, which means I did not lie and I told the truth."

In fact, the rules set by the "Brass Book of Trunsost" had long been invalidated in battle, but Klein's main purpose was not to prove anything, but to show his firmness, determination, or madness.

Of course, what Klein said was true, and he was willing to put it into practice. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hide it from Amon and put enough pressure on him.

Amon smiled and said without any panic:

"Sounds interesting."

"Really? Let's get started then." Klein responded without hesitation, his eyes becoming increasingly darker.

Amon's smile froze slightly, and he slammed his palms together.

From beneath his classical black robe, slippery and evil tentacles also emerged one after another.

His aura changed accordingly, and his body seemed to be covered with a dark cloak.

At this moment, Amon became more like the "Lord of Mysteries".

But “He” was not competing with Klein to see how much the “Lord of Mysteries” in his body had awakened. Instead, he was disguising himself to deceive the “Source Castle”, create a corresponding “bug”, and create an opportunity to escape. Suddenly, Klein’s ruined “Fool” Kingdom of God completely collapsed, and the magnificent ancient palace and the mottled long table inside emerged.

The gray-white mist originally located under the "Origin Castle" rose up and enveloped the space.

The gray mist split into two waves and collided violently at a certain place, creating one vortex after another, tearing a gap leading to reality downwards.

The power of "Source Castle" contradicted itself at this moment, as if it didn't know which "Lord of Mysteries" to obey.

Amon's figure disappeared immediately, and he used the authority of the "Gate" to rush out of the "Source Castle".

As soon as he touched the edge, his body paused and then flew backwards.

In the position of The Fool, Klein sat there with a slightly raised corner of his mouth. The strange light gates between his eyebrows and around him became more and more obvious, as if they were real.

This emitted an unimaginably strong cohesive force, like an invisible hand, pulling Amon back!

Amon's body suddenly split into countless selves.

And an illusory star gate appeared in front of every Amon.

Silently, the star gates opened at the same time, but from the endless darkness behind the gates, slippery and evil tentacles jumped out first, blocking the Amons' escape route.

At the top of these tentacles, a little bit of bright starlight lit up, instantly enveloping the Amons.

The Amons gathered together uncontrollably and turned into a concept.

These concepts include, but are not limited to, the pointed hat, the classical black robe, the monocle, fate, time, the key, the door, the bug, and the wooden horse.

Klein slowly stood up and smiled at the passive conceptual Amon:

"You can also further awaken the will of the Lord of Mysteries, but this is different from death. It will definitely affect Adam's body."

The conceptualized Amon quickly regained his entity, and relying on the authority of the "Gate", he escaped from the state he was in just now.

He smiled, but did not respond to Klein. He seized this opportunity to use the "wrong" authority to replace the real with the fake, and replaced himself with a pre-prepared clone in the outside world, swapping the positions of both parties.

However, Amon still failed.

He found that his "wrong" authority was being forcibly suppressed.

As Klein slowly stood up, more slippery and evil tentacles rose up around him, and the smile on his face became more exaggerated.

Then, Amon's eyes glazed over, his smile froze, and his crystal monocle lost its luster.

At the same time, the cold and strange mask on Klein's face began to move.

"Blind and stupid" effect!
The next second, he "grafted" himself to a certain concept in the starry sky, and used the power of "fooling" to affect the corresponding environment.

The slippery tentacles around him bent and aimed at Amon like revolvers.

A supernova exploded in Amon's eyes, which still had some dullness.

An unimaginable, extremely blazing sea of ​​light rushed out, shattering His monocle and drowning His body.

As Amon was completely shattered by the power of the "supernova explosion", Klein couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If he had a choice, he certainly didn't want to sacrifice himself to revive "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun". He would rather personally protect this world that had been given meaning again by Star.

The battle just now, in the end, was a battle of courage. Whoever is really not afraid of dying completely will have an absolute advantage.

Obviously, Amon did not sacrifice his consciousness for this matter.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Klein looked at the place where Amon's body was shattered. A strong aggregation instinct made him want to merge those extraordinary characteristics with himself.

Klein's face under the cold and strange mask suddenly twisted, and the will of "Tianzun" in his body became stronger and stronger.

just.

"Be good, be obedient, kneel down!"

Suddenly, there was a moment of peace in Sefirah Castle.

The starlight eyeball and monocle transformed from uniqueness were suspended a few meters in front of Klein, like a planet orbiting the sun, unable to escape or get close to it due to the insurmountable gravity.

Since he knew Amon's weakness in advance from Star's notes, Klein had the upper hand in the end even though it put him in danger.

Klein could now control himself from taking that final step—delaying his final confrontation with the “Tianzun.”

The slippery and evil tentacles extending from under his cloak began to retract, the bumps on his face calmed down, and his mental state gradually stabilized.

Relying on the cognitive positioning and image interference brought by the believer's anchor, Klein finally delayed the revival of the Lord of Mysteries' will and weakened the power of aggregation.

Then he "fooled" the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" into a sealed state and flew it into the pile of debris.

Then, Klein left Sefirah Castle and stepped into the astral realm composed of symbols and authority.

As soon as Klein entered here, he immediately felt invisible gazes.

Some of them come from areas protected by the world barrier, while others come from wider places with obvious malice.

The corners of Klein's mouth curled up uncontrollably. He suddenly turned his head and looked back outside the world barrier, raising those slippery and evil tentacles.

The pair of eyes made of stars and the monocle made of crystal also rotated.

Suddenly, all the gazes from the starry sky retreated, leaving only a hand-painted red moon hanging there, flashing light.

“Haha.” Klein laughed out loud and came to the outside of a dark kingdom full of night-blooming herbs and deep-sleeping flowers.

At the same time, the "Goddess of Night" appeared at the edge of the Kingdom of God wearing a layered long dress dotted with stardust, with a translucent black veil covering her face.

“He” did not grow in size. Instead, he looked at Klein levelly, raised his right hand, and revealed a bird-shaped golden ornament.

On the head of this bird-shaped golden ornament, within its bronze eyeballs, layers of illusory doors appeared, allowing a drop of colorless liquid with a strong aura of eternal silence to fly out and land on Klein’s cold and eerie mask.

The will of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" was temporarily weakened, which allowed Klein's consciousness to prevail again.

In this situation, he turned the crystal monocle into a pair of black gloves, and the pair of eyeballs made of starlight into the shape of the notebook that Star left for him.

"This can't last long, it just makes your current self-perception clearer."

The Goddess of Night reminded softly, "If you use the water of the River of Everlasting Darkness repeatedly, the Lord of Mysteries will adapt to this power and find another opportunity to get rid of our weakening in your subsequent fight with Him."

Klein smiled and nodded, as if he was not discussing his own affairs.

"I see."

The Goddess of Night said in a tone that seemed to blame Klein:

"In this matter, the methods and actions you took were beyond my expectations. Why would you go to such lengths for a dead person?"

"Even if he is really our fellow villager?"

Klein smiled and said:
"Isn't this a good idea? As long as we win, a 'Lord of Mysteries' will be born."

Klein's words seemed to change the tone of the Goddess of Night. She seemed to be trying to comfort Klein:

"I didn't pay attention to him at first. To the true God, everything in the world seems too insignificant."

"I only care about your life or death, and you have the 'Source Castle', which allows you to be resurrected multiple times."

"Besides, I saw no additional inconsistency in your fate during those days."

"If I find his fellow villager, I will also make some arrangements."

"But promotion is also his own choice."

Thousands of years passed by the Goddess of Night. She looked down upon this land and witnessed countless joys and sorrows. She thought she had arranged everything for Klein.

But He did not anticipate that there would be someone who would make arrangements more profound and have a more lasting impact than He did.

Still a dead person...

This made the "Goddess of Night" think that if she had not been distracted to deal with other things, she would be the first investor of the future "Lord of Mysteries".

Or if I had paid attention to and invested in Star at the beginning, would I have cultivated a true God?

Unfortunately, there was no if. It was not until after Star's death that Klein showed his prowess. The "Goddess of Night" discovered that Klein had turned into Star's shape.

Perhaps it was because he inherited the expectations of the "mysterious man" named Star that Klein not only showed off his talents in the mysterious world, but also got a share of the anchors of the seven righteous gods in the secular society.

This made the "Goddess of Night" wonder what would have happened if she had noticed what Star and Klein confessed that day.

However, He used His "secret" authority to trace back the traces of that day, and indeed He did not find anything.

Star died after all, which made Star an unforgettable past for Klein.

Klein continued to laugh:
"This is my own choice."

"I had known for a long time that there would come a day when I would face Him."

“Only by becoming the old days, by becoming a pillar, can it be possible to revive a person who has disappeared into the long river of history.”

The Goddess of Night listened to Klein's words and didn't say anything more. She just stretched out her hand and gently pulled it as if she was pinching a corner of the void.

A thin layer of "night" gently fell, covering Klein's body and penetrating into him silently.

Klein quietly felt this blessing from his dream for two seconds, then he placed his hand on his chest and bowed.

He immediately took two steps back and left the star realm.

The "Goddess of Night" stood at the edge of the kingdom of God and watched him go away.

At the same time, I am also curious about one thing: Can Star be resurrected?
After all, the historical projection that Klein had previously retrieved showed that he seemed to be just an ordinary person, not a remnant of the old days at all.

……

Klein quickly returned to Sefirah Castle and sat on the high-back chair, allowing the gray-white mist to cover his body.

After looking around and confirming the status of the crimson stars, he finally looked at the star representing the "Wheel of Fortune".

For some unknown reason, tentacles with evil patterns suddenly appeared on his body.

That was the will of the "Tianzun" who attempted to take advantage of Klein's grief and pain to gather his uniqueness and seek resurrection.

But He might have miscalculated.

Those slippery tentacles were quickly retracted and the patterns disappeared.

Then, they lifted up gently, curled up slightly, and landed inch by inch on the star representing Star.

Klein recalled Star's last words and muttered to himself:

"Star..."

"Look, together we changed the world..."

……

After an unknown amount of time, Klein finally prepared everything.

He lowered his head, looked at the "magic mirror" in his hand and said:

"Are you scared?"

On the surface of the ancient silver mirror, the water light swayed, and pale words were outlined:

"Not afraid."

The next second, Arrods followed the rules and asked his own question:
"Great Master, are you afraid?"

Klein raised the corner of his mouth slightly, imitating Star's old smile and said:
"Not afraid."

"Let's go and welcome my first favored one."

After saying that, he took a step forward, holding the "magic mirror", walked towards the strange light gate in the "Source Castle", and passed through it.
