Mystery: The Stars Returner

This is the first real meeting between Klein and the Night Goddess. The previous meetings were more of a conversation in the air, with limited conversation.

"You have a lot of doubts in your heart?" The voice of the goddess of the night is the same as the authority she symbolizes. It carries the unique tranquility of the night, making people feel at peace when listening to it.

"Indeed, there is a point." Klein looked at the goddess of the night in front of him, whose specific appearance was still difficult to see clearly, and said with a smile: "In the long history, you have hidden your identity very well. If it weren't for me this time, Promote to Sequence 1 and further master the capabilities of Origin Castle. It will never be guessed that you are the earliest time traveler on Origin Castle."

"After you were born, I intended to gradually guide you and make you realize that I was the first time traveler, but the appearance of the stars forced me to give up this idea."

The eyes of the goddess of the night seemed to accidentally glance at the starry sky blocked by the church dome.

"The stars paid special attention to you and gave you a lot of guidance, which was of great help to you. And you truly believe that the stars are one of the three time travelers on Origin Castle."

"I'm used to hiding in the dark night, and because of my special status, I didn't reveal my identity. At the same time, I was also on guard against the stars."

"Now that you have reached this final step, you should be able to figure out many things on your own."

The stars... Klein sighed and said with a smile: "Although the stars deceived me on this issue, I still believe that He has no ill intentions towards me."

"Do you think such an idea is childish and stupid?"

"Your humanity has been maintained very well." The goddess of the night said in a soft and soft voice: "The humanity of the stars has also been maintained very well. At this point, you are very similar."

"No matter how you look at it, the stars look like travelers from Earth."

"Of course, it's possible that all of this is an illusion created by the stars. His origin has always made the entire starry sky turbulent."

Klein just listened quietly, and finally he said: "Is there a solution to the conflict between the goddess and the stars?"

"Yes, as long as I give up the idea of ​​being promoted to the Old One." The goddess of the night answered affirmatively.

This is almost an impossible choice.

Aggregation is instinctive, especially in this turbulent era before the end of the world. Whether it is the gods within the initial barrier or the outer gods in the starry sky, they all want to quickly increase their strength so that they can survive from the future. Survive the apocalypse.

Today, the goddess of the night has mastered the uniqueness of the path to the God of War, and has most likely fully accommodated it, leaving only the uniqueness of the path to the God of Death.

The current God of Death, Gray Carrie, is a devout believer in the stars and a contracted messenger who has gained his trust. The stars will definitely protect her.

If the goddess of the night wants to advance to the past, in addition to the necessary source of essence, she also needs to deal with Gray Carrie from the stars, which is obviously difficult.

If it weren't for this conflict, the goddess of the night would not sometimes take the side of Adam and the true Creator.

In fact, there is no possibility of reconciliation between Him and Qunxing.

"Instead of worrying about these things that have nothing to do with you, let's think about promotion to Sequence 0 first."

"I'm not worried about being promoted to Sequence 0." Klein said in a calm tone. "I'm not worried about Amon either. What really scares me, and what I fear from the depths of my heart, is the fallen Lord of Mysteries."

The closer he gets to the Sequence 0 Fool's Throne, the more he understands how special Origin Castle is, and the more he feels the terror of the Lord of Mysteries.

If there was still hope in the fight between him and Amon, he could not see the slightest possibility of hope in the fight with the Lord of Mysteries.

The gap between the two sides is really too big.

The Lord of Mysteries sealed the source matter outside Source Castle and the Sea of ​​Chaos in the Western Continent, isolating all hidden existences within the initial barrier, except for God. The path to promotion to the past forced other hidden existences to wake him up and break the seal. .

Such methods and techniques are truly terrifying.

"In this universe, the old days are the end of all gods, and the symbol of the pillar is above the old days." The tone of the goddess of the night was also full of fear, "The Lord of Mysteries, God, and the Fallen Mother Goddess are the pillars that support the old days. The three pillars of this universe are like different aspects of the original Creator’s personality, possessing authority and ability beyond understanding.”

"Do you know why a terrifying existence like the Lord of Mysteries died in the first place?"

"Although the era when the Lord of Mysteries fell is very ancient, from some current clues, it can be vaguely speculated that his fall should be related to God, and it is very likely that the two fell at the same time."

The goddess of the night told the secrets of the ancient times in a soothing and gentle tone.

"The corpse of that God formed the first blasphemous slate in the Sea of ​​Chaos. The thief's path is unique on the edge of the blasphemous slate."

"It can be seen that in that ancient era, there was a secret and extremely fierce confrontation between God and the Lord of Mysteries, and both eventually fell."

"The only way of the thief is that God tore it from the Lord of Mysteries."

No wonder the extraordinary path Amon is on does not belong to the five extraordinary paths included in the ancient sun god. It turns out that Amon is actually the child of the Lord of Mysteries and the ancient sun god.

Did the ancient sun god give birth to Amon in order to prepare for stealing the position of Lord of Mysteries in the future?

No wonder Amon's character is so bad, probably due to the influence of the Lord of Mysteries.

Klein thought a lot in an instant, and finally thought of the source of the Lord of Mysteries, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

If Tianzun had not caused so many things, he would not have become a time traveler. He was forced to leave his own time and come here, and step by step became the container for Tianzun's new awakening and birth.

Alas, that is the Lord of Mysteries who can arrange even the gods. He is one of the three pillars of the universe. Arranging such a small role like himself should be an easy arrangement for Him.

"You can still have one last choice." The goddess of the night fell on Klein's complicated eyes, "Leave now, give up becoming a Sequence 0 Fool, prevent the Lord of Mysteries from awakening from your body, and live in this world with the strength of Sequence 1 from now on. In the world.”

"Does the goddess also think I should give up?"

"This is your own choice, and it is also your last freedom." The goddess of the night's voice was like the moonlight falling on the starry sky, as ethereal and ethereal as she said, "We come from the same place, and I am not willing to arrange for you to embark on such a path. "

Klein smiled and said: "Compared to Amon, I shouldn't have any advantage, so why does the goddess keep choosing to bet on me?"

"If it's just to support a new Lord of Mysteries, Amon does have more opportunities than you and is more likely to succeed."

"Yes, this is also a question I haven't figured out." Klein nodded.

"The era buried in the past is our common memory and a critical period for the birth, germination and growth of our humanity. Even though I have lived a long life, it is still my most beautiful memory."

"You have its mark on you, so I'm more willing to help you."

Is this the friendship between fellow villagers?

Klein felt sad. Just like Russell, at the end of his life, he still wanted to leave his diary to the fellow villagers who would later travel through time to provide him with some help.

Hometown is the past that neither of them can return to.

No matter what achievements they each achieve, they are all lonely travelers. When facing partners from the same era, they will instinctively feel friendly.

Are the stars also lonely travelers traveling through time?

Klein was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Can Amon be trusted?"

"I can't give you a definite answer."

"If the Lord of Mysteries awakens in Amon's body, will he take back all the high-sequence extraordinary characteristics of the three paths of diviner, thief, and apprentice?"

"I don't know, and I can't know."

Klein was silent again, "For me personally, I don't long to become the old man, but I can't live up to or abandon those beings who have bet on me. They have helped me more or less."

"And Amon is a wanton god."

“I couldn’t believe His mercy and any of His promises.”

The goddess of the night was not surprised by such an answer.

If Amon had as much humanity as Klein, he would choose to support Amon even for the sake of his fellow villagers.

He is not the only hidden being who has such thoughts.

Freedom is indeed unrestrained, but it cannot bear responsibility and cannot be trusted.
