"You won."

His indifferent, emotionless words seemed to put an end to this ten-year struggle of will.

"You should have slept in peace long ago." Klein looked at him indifferently, and said in a deep voice.

As he officially met with "Tianzun", a lot of memories kept pouring into his mind, including the memories of the real world and the memories of the countless dreams.He temporarily sealed up a large number of mixed memories, and only dominated the three years in the real world and the memories between these three years, because this was imprinted with his most vivid humanity.

"Back to reality, you will face a thousand times more despair than now, do you accept it?" He asked.

"I accept." Klein replied.

"Okay." He nodded, and his figure gradually blurred until he disappeared.

Klein looked at the place where he disappeared, a little relaxed, but also a little terrified.

These ten years are really too long.

In the face of this "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", he is helpless most of the time. He pulls himself into the dream again and again, sometimes threatening, sometimes tempting, sometimes intimidating, and sometimes comforting.

But he is indeed weak, and the dreams he creates are not perfect, and there are always some subtle senses of incongruity.Klein escaped from the dream again and again. Although his human nature became weaker and weaker, his spiritual imprint continued to strengthen, gradually forming a certain balance with "Tianzun".

Finally, "Tianzun" realized that if this continues, one day Klein's spiritual imprint will gradually gain the upper hand.Even if it is a Him who has lost his humanity that wins in the end, he will still curb the awakening of "Tianzun" again after all.

Therefore, "Tianzun" invested all the remaining power and opened the curtain of the final battle.

He created a seamless world that is both false and real.Everyone in this world is not a imitation imitated by Tianzun, but a real replica of reality.

Different from the Puppet Town, this world follows its own logic. The behavior and choice of each creature will be read from reality through the "original" imprint. In a sense, the creatures in this world share the same with the same soul.Therefore, no matter who it is, it is impossible to detect abnormalities in this world from the responses of others.

This would have been a flawless plan, but the accidental intrusion of the poet classmate became the only flaw.

Holding the gold coin infested by the gray mist, he will never be rejected by "Origin Castle". "Tianzun" can only hide his projection, put his body into this world, and put that coin The gold coin was thrown back to reality.

Leonard is an expert in manipulating dreams, he can easily see through the dreams of "Tianzun", but this time, what he broke into is not a dream, but a real kingdom of God.After confirming that everything is real, he can only start his second life on the premise of "everything is real".

He didn't wantonly change his fate, and "Tianzun" didn't interfere with him, and his later behavior made the world develop in the direction that "Tianzun" expected.As long as he blocks the interference of the true gods in this world, Klein will be immersed in this perfect world forever and cannot wake up.

It is unknown who retrieved the gold coin, and specially handed it to Leonard through Miss Sharon, who was the least likely to attract attention.With that gold coin, Leonard can see the "Origin Castle" floating above the sky, and can see the gray mist that continues to send power to this kingdom of God.

"Tianzun" immediately pulled him onto "Origin Castle", and released the previously hidden projection, constantly "grafting" Leonard's memories of the past three years into the projection.Human memory is a very complicated thing, and "Tianzun" must slowly separate the "harmless" memory, so that it cannot arouse Klein's suspicion, nor can it arouse the suspicion of Leonard's projection.

Therefore, He did not intend to attack Leonard, and was happy to see him delaying time.

Although Leonard's attack didn't work, it interrupted the memory "grafting" process. Most of his memories have been "grafted" to the projection. It was already enough to replace the main body, but there was only one insignificant corner Ignored by "Tianzun".

The projection told Klein that the esteemed name was indeed real, but it was the real Leonard's esteemed name, and his esteemed name must have been changed after he came to this world.He changed Klein's sleeping fate at all costs, so how could he be content to just be a "watcher"?He wrote his vague but firm wish into his esteemed name, so he refused to tell Klein all this time.

Klein, who had doubts about "time travel" for a long time, already guessed what kind of trap it was the moment he heard that honorable name.

Now, the decade-long battle is finally over.Although the dream is beautiful, it is just a dream after all. His relatives, companions, and allies in reality are facing the threat of doomsday, and he must go back.

Although he would rather make "Tianzun" the "Lord of Mysteries" than Amon, in fact, he doesn't have any trust in these so-called gods!

They always value themselves more than others, and all they do is to extend their own lives. In order to become "eternal", they can sacrifice all living beings.In the war against the Outer Gods, if they can gain an advantage, they will naturally spare no effort to defend their dignity, but if the Outer Gods have the slightest possibility of threatening themselves, they will definitely abandon this planet immediately and go to The starry sky rebuilds civilization.

Fortunately, he finally woke up before the doomsday.No matter how desperate it is, he will personally open up a path of redemption.

……

Klein turned and walked out of the palace. Looking at Leonard who was in a coma, he frowned for a long time, and finally he could only sigh helplessly: "Damn it, if I believe you again, I'm a curly-haired baboon."

After calming down a bit, Klein went straight through the gray fog and returned to reality.

He finally returned to this world after a ten-year absence.

Although the end is near, Backlund is more energetic than before he fell asleep.The wounds of the war have been healed, and this city of hope has regained its original prosperity. A large number of slums have been rebuilt, and the per capita income has been greatly improved. Everyone can live happily in this city. dignity.

Klein's house at No. 160 Boklund Street has long since expired, and he doesn't know when the Meige Manor was donated by him to build a park. He, a "lord of mysteries", is actually homeless in reality. Yes, it's really a bit miserable.

He created a light door, passed through the light door, and came to a townhouse in Backlund. He helped Leonard sit on a bench by the street, and then walked forward to knock on it. a door.

Not long after, a little girl under ten years old with twin ponytails came bouncing over, pushed open the door, looked up at Klein in surprise, "Uncle, who are you?"

Klein looked at her softly: "I am your Uncle Klein."

The little girl's eyes widened in surprise, and immediately ran back to the room yelling "Auntie!"

After a while, a young woman with glasses appeared in the corridor with her hair pulled back. Her face was a little strange to Klein, but extremely familiar.

Her eye sockets turned red instantly, and she stumbled towards Klein, reaching out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch it, but seemed to be worried that it was all a dream and would shatter if touched.

Klein gently held her hand, forced a smile and said, "Melissa, I'm back."

His voice broke the silent scene. Melissa immediately threw herself into his arms and cried loudly. Her voice became hoarse from crying instantly, and her breathing became somewhat difficult.

She couldn't say a word, but kept crying, as if she wanted to vent the sadness of the past ten years in one breath.

Klein hugged her, patted her on the back lightly, and helped her breathe calmly.After an unknown amount of time, Melissa pulled out, looked at him, and sobbed, "Klein, welcome home."

Klein raised his hand and stroked her hair, and said with a smile, "I can't tell when I pray, but she's really a big girl."

Melissa knew that he was "The Fool" and that he was still alive. Klein had already confirmed this from his realistic memory.

After he fell asleep, Leonard would visit Melissa's house from time to time.He pulled out the vest of "The Fool" at the speed of light, coupled with his "unparalleled" acting skills, in the fifth year after Klein fell asleep, Melissa confirmed that he was still alive, and in the ninth year, Melissa confirmed that he was still alive. Confirmed that he is "The Fool".

During that time, Leonard prayed for his forgiveness almost every day. When Klein occasionally woke up, he really wanted the "Insect of Spirit" to say "scroll", but his good self-cultivation still made him reply "It's okay".

But Melissa and the others don’t need to worry about their safety. “Snake of Mercury” Will Auceptin has been focusing on this area. Backlund’s Church of the “Fool” was built not far from Melissa’s house. At least one angel, five demigods are protecting their safety.

Melissa wiped away her tears, put on her glasses, and finally returned to her usual serious look, and chuckled lightly: "I can't see that my brother is actually a god."

Immediately afterwards, she immediately realized that it was unreasonable for the "God" to stand and chat at the door of her house, and immediately led Klein into the house.

"Wait, I still have a friend outside, I'll bring him in." Klein said hastily.

Melissa followed Klein to the side of the street curiously, and when she saw the figure leaning on the bench with her eyes closed, she immediately said in surprise, "Mr. Mitchell?! I heard he's been missing for three months. Both the Church of Evernight and the Church of Fools are looking for him."

... three months?Klein immediately realized that the flow of time in that divine kingdom was different from that in reality. After the consciousness of "Tianzun" dissipated, the control authority of the Kingdom of God was transferred to Klein, and Klein immediately communicated with "Origin Castle" to adjust the time flow rate of the Kingdom of God.

Klein didn't intend to let that world disappear, and it might be good to let the people who died in reality survive in that world in another form.

Klein didn't hide it from Melissa, and said briefly: "In order to wake me up, he entered a wonderful space and suffered some injuries."

His explanation didn't surprise Melissa at all. Melissa knew that Leonard had been working hard to wake Klein.Melissa also slowly guessed that "The Fool" was Klein when he changed the awakened object from Gehrman Sparrow to "The Fool".

She immediately stepped forward and helped Klein help Leonard into the bedroom.

Melissa tentatively asked with some concern: "What kind of injury did he suffer? Mr. Emlyn's pharmaceutical company may have medicine to treat it."

He actually forgot such an important thing!This is not a psychological problem. Compared with Miss Justice, a vampire with the "Pharmacist" path is more suitable for treatment.Does sleeping for a long time really affect IQ... Klein quickly sent a message to "Moon" Emlyn White through the gray fog.

The little girl had been hiding outside the door and watched curiously. Klein smiled and waved to her. She didn't seem to be shy at all, and soon ran into the room under Melissa's encouraging eyes and chatted with Klein. .

"Uncle, why did you look like an octopus the last time we met?"

"..." Klein's expression froze, and he explained patiently, "That's my uncle's mythical creature form."

"Can you swim in mythical creature form?"

"...Yes." Klein nodded with difficulty.

"Uncle is amazing!" she said with bright eyes.

Suddenly, Klein heard a chuckle coming from the bedside. Leonard had woken up at some point, and the little girl immediately greeted him happily: "Uncle Mitchell!"

Leonard smiled and patted her head.

The little girl noticed something keenly, and immediately asked, "Uncle Mitchell, are you sick?"

"Yes, but after seeing you, my mood is much better, and I will recover soon."

This is the truth.Originally, Leonard thought that he would be in a wilderness when he woke up again, and soon received the news of "The Fool" waking up, but the "Fool" who woke up was already a completely different existence.

To be able to wake up to the sound of Klein chatting with his little niece Tong Yan Wuji was so blissful to him that it was unreal.As expected of Klein, he will never disappoint others' expectations, he can always create miracles.

He looked at Klein, still a little unsure, and asked in a weak voice: "Klein, is it really over this time?"

Klein nodded vigorously: "Yes, I assure you."

Although they only answered briefly, Melissa, who had entered the extraordinary world for many years, still noticed something unusual.They seem to have just experienced a very brutal battle, which can even make Leonard, who is a Sequence 2 Angel, feel powerless.

The world they live in is probably very dangerous, a world that ordinary Extraordinary people can't set foot in.

As a Extraordinary, Melissa was never angry because Klein concealed the truth about his death.She knew very well that it was Klein's protection for them. He didn't want them to be in danger, and he didn't want them to live in worry all the time.Over the years, she has heard too many legends about Klein as a Extraordinary, and everyone is yearning for the crazy adventurer's invincible record at sea, but Melissa can only see what lies behind it, Dire danger.

Not long after, there was a hasty knock on the door, apparently Emlyn White from "The Moon" had arrived.After Melissa brought him in, she carried the little girl to another room. The next scene would obviously involve too much of the Beyonder realm, and it wasn't suitable for children to watch.

Emlyn White saw Klein sitting on the chair beside the bed at a glance. Although he didn't grow a beard, his silhouette vaguely resembled the original Sherlock Moriarty.Emlyn immediately smiled and patted his shoulder lightly: "You really woke up!"

This sucker... no, the appearance of the vampire has not changed at all, but he is more stable than before, and has more experience in his eyes.

Then he looked at Leonard lying on the bed, and shook his head angrily: "Tsk, I really don't want to treat you, but actually rely on my Sequence 2 to scare me over there. Is Sequence 2 great?"

He said so, but his spirituality immediately spread to confirm Leonard's state.The two of them, as the main force in eliminating the Rose School of Thought, have cooperated many times after Klein fell asleep, and they have already become good friends with tacit understanding.

Klein was a little curious: "You all know what happened over there?"

"I can vaguely see a fragment." Emlyn White nodded, and then his face immediately collapsed, and he looked at Leonard in shock: "What the hell did you do? You are in the same state as before. Fight against the evil god for three days and three nights."

Would you believe me when I said that I fought against the evil god for three years?Leonard looked at him helplessly, completely out of interest in bickering.As a "sleepless man", he usually has endless energy, but now he feels exhausted like never before.

"Forget it, it won't be a problem if I'm here." Emlyn waved his hand, then glanced at Klein and said, "The most important thing is that this guy is back now, so you don't have to go around trying to die in the future. "

He immediately took out a bunch of spiritual power materials and started to prepare the potion. Klein looked at Leonard with a very complicated gaze. Leonard felt very guilty and immediately looked away.

Emlyn White quickly made the potion, divided it into ten glass test tubes, handed one to Leonard, and handed the rest to Klein: "Two a day, remember to remind him to drink. "

"Understood." Klein nodded deeply.

I still have the ability to take care of myself!Leonard felt a pang of despair.He drank the extremely bitter potion that Emlyn gave him, and the pain that had been screaming deep in his brain finally eased, and the auditory hallucinations that rang in his ears from time to time also subsided.It has to be said that Emlyn is still very reliable, at least when it comes to potion making.

After solving the problem in front of him, Emlyn immediately asked excitedly: "Since the 'world' has awakened, does Mister Fool also..."

Klein nodded: "He has returned."

After careful consideration, Klein still didn't reveal himself like he did when facing Miss Justice.He still needs the identity of "World" to do a lot of things, and now the identity of "The Fool" is more of a constraint for him, it is better to stay in a symbolic position.For example, the true god can't descend casually, but he can act freely as long as he pretends to be a Sequence 2 angel. At least for now, except for Leonard and Audrey, no one in the Tarot Club knows that the "world" has become God.

He can even continue to split into two Sequence 1 "Worm of Time" angels and "Star Key" angels. Anyway, there are still many vacancies in the Tarot Society... Well, this is in line with his character!

Looking at his expression, Leonard already guessed what his friend was thinking.It seemed that his arduous acting career was about to start again, Leonard sighed deeply.

TBC

PS: Lun dug out the Fool's vest two months after Klein fell asleep, and began to focus on awakening the Fool in the second half of the eighth year. The reason why he didn't start until the eighth year was because he discovered that Klein's humanity was getting weaker and weaker. That's why there is a show operation of wanting to quit the church
