Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Above the gray fog, Klein murmured in a low voice:
"Do I have enough anchor?"

To become an angel, potions, rituals, and enough anchors are indispensable.

Klein was not worried about the first two. The only problem was whether his 'anchor' was sufficient!
In theory, his anchor was adequate.

Even if these anchors were not numerous or stable enough, Klein only wanted to advance to Sequence 2, not become a god.

In the final analysis, the reason why he hesitated was because of fear.

Fear of the unknown, fear of the future, fear of gains and losses!
No matter who they are, once they become an angel, they will inevitably be affected by the extraordinary characteristics, becoming increasingly cold-blooded, cruel, and indifferent to life. They must have enough anchors to maintain their humanity.

This was not something that could be avoided by completely digesting the potion and mastering the "acting method" in the previous stage. Emperor Roselle had gone so smoothly in the first part, but he almost mutated and was close to losing control when he reached the Sequence 2 Angel level.

As for the angels that Klein knew, they all looked normal on the surface, but he had no idea what they actually looked like or what state they were in when they were hiding behind the scenes.

But what is certain is that any angel will be more or less affected by the original!
If a Saint could obtain a long life at the Sequence 4 or 3 stage, then he would not have much motivation to ascend to an angel. After all, the higher the Sequence, the closer to the Origin.

This is also why the White Witch Katarina, who was already a demigod during the Four Emperors' War, has only been promoted from Sequence 4 to Sequence 3 over a thousand years, because she is afraid of the negative effects of becoming an angel.

Sequence 3 of the Witch Path is the 'Immortal Witch', who possesses a much longer lifespan than Sequence 3 of other paths, so she has enough confidence to give up the advancement to Sequence 2.

But I had no choice, and no way out... After a brief silence, Klein sighed silently.

Crane knew that if he didn't want to be promoted, Ember wouldn't force him.

On the contrary, Yu Jin will help him to break the special connection with Sefirah Castle, so that he can be a free demigod without being bound by anything. As for the position of the Fool, Yu Jin can find someone else to replace him, such as Mr. Door.

Mr. Door, who had fallen to Sequence 2, accepted the reality calmly and was content with everything he had now - at least he was still alive, at least he was free from the control of the Outer Gods and could live freely.

But if Ember gave him a chance to become a 'fool', Mr. 'door' would definitely not refuse.

As long as there was someone to take his place, Klein wouldn't have to endure all of this.

He can just be Mr. World and no longer have to pretend to be The Fool.

But Klein knew better that it was not the Embers who were forcing him, but the 'Tianzun' who was forcing him. It was he who was forcing himself!
He is different from others. Others have choices, but Klein's life is planned.

Therefore, he will inevitably take the path of the 'Fortune Teller' and will inevitably continue to improve his sequence in the face of various crises that are approaching step by step.

Eventually, he will become a perfect substitute for the resurrection of 'Tianzun'.

The higher his sequence, the closer his connection with the 'Source Castle' becomes, the higher the possibility of Tianzun's revival, and the more dangerous his situation becomes!

But as Lu Xun said: the action of force is mutual.

The higher his sequence, the more confident he will be in resisting Tianzun!

More importantly, he himself is unwilling to give up!

It has come to this point, Klein himself would not be willing to give up like this!

after all
"It's all here."

Klein laughed at himself, but he felt much more relaxed.

Maybe it was because he had made up his mind, or maybe it was because he had let go of his worries.

But no matter what, he has made up his mind.

"call!"

Klein took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand, and spread his spirituality to touch the crimson star that symbolized Grossel.
-
The Giant King's Court, inside the Giant King's residence.

Groselle, who was hesitating, suddenly saw a dark red tide surging out from the void, instantly submerging him.

He saw the endless white fog, the majestic palace, and the ancient, mottled bronze table.

And at the top of the long table, there was a figure shrouded in thick gray fog, looking down at him condescendingly!
That is the oracle of the Fool.

Groselle came back to his senses, looked at the people in front of him waiting for answers, and said:

"You can go over."

Colin immediately understood that since he was the only one who recited the name of The Fool, he was the only one who could pass.

Colin ordered in a deep voice:
"Derrick, pray to 'The Fool'."

Upon hearing this, Derrick recited devoutly in Giant language without hesitation:
"A fool who does not belong to this era..."

Upon seeing this, the other members of the exploration team immediately followed Derrick's example and recited the Fool's honorific name in a not very skillful manner:

"The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray fog, the yellow and black king who controls good luck..."

Although they all knew that they were just going to explore the way this time, as long as everything went well they would return and bring other people from Silver City with them.

But no one is willing to miss this opportunity. They can't wait to see what the outside world looks like!
Colin did not stop her, but just looked at Luo Weiya beside him.

He knew that the other party believed in the 'True Creator', and he could guess that the relationship between the 'True Creator' and 'The Fool' was not very 'harmonious', so he did not intend to force the other party to change his beliefs, even if it was just to simply recite the honorific name of another existence.

Colin thought about it and was about to tell the other party not to force it and that they could wait here for them to come back.

But before he could open his mouth, the elder, who was dressed in a black robe with purple patterns and had a gorgeous and generous appearance, began to recite with extraordinary piety:
"A fool who does not belong to this era..."

Colin remained silent, unable to utter any words of advice.

"Can we go through?"

Derrick asked seriously after reciting the name of The Fool.

Groselle scratched his head and said in a muffled voice:

"OK."

Mr. Fool didn't say no, so if he didn't say it, it means he can.

"You'll have to wait a moment."

The more Groselle thought about it, the more confident he became. He whispered:
"It will be over in the evening."

"Why at night?"

The people of Silver City were filled with confusion. Living in the God-forsaken Land, they had an instinctive fear of the night.

Outside the open gray-blue gate, the sea with golden rays and the omnipresent light deeply shocked their souls, making them subconsciously hold their breath, unwilling to give up such a beautiful scenery.

"chief."

Everyone in Silver City subconsciously looked at Colin.

"Wait."

Colin gave the order in a deep voice, and the people of Silver City said nothing more, just concentrating on appreciating the beautiful scenery.

After an unknown amount of time, the sea that was shining with golden light was suddenly shrouded in darkness.

Deep in the darkness, a faint mist could be vaguely seen. In the mist, there was a black church with a spire and various buildings, giving people a feeling that it was both real and illusory. Derrick and others looked at the town and the shadowy pedestrians in the mist in confusion, unable to understand what was going on.

This was not the darkness they were familiar with.

At this moment, Groselle glanced at Derrick, who was naturally emitting a pure glow, and ordered:

"follow me."

Without waiting for others to respond, the giant took the lead, walked through the gate, and walked along the stone stairs outside, going deeper into the darkness step by step.

"Follow."

Colin gave an order and led the fearful people of Silver City into the darkness.

In the thick darkness, they walked up the stairs, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and they saw orange light and a monastery-like black building.

Before they knew it, they had reached the other side of the Giant King's Court, separated from their original location by a sea of ​​clouds dyed orange.

The giant Groselle said in a muffled voice:
"We still need to wait here for a while. You can find a place to rest."

“It’s best not to leave the church, otherwise it’s easy to get lost in the depths of dreams.”

"Dream?"

Everyone in Silver City found it a little unbelievable. They were clearly in reality just now, so why did they suddenly appear in a dream?

The members of the exploration team were full of questions, but they did not ask any more questions, nor did they take a rest. They still stood there, waiting patiently.

Time passed by minute by minute, and blinding rays of sunlight suddenly shone into the world, making everything turn bright white, then faded and disappeared.

They saw the golden ocean again and felt the terrifying aura that made them dare not look directly at it.

However, unlike before, they were now on an island, with clusters of huge, golden, strange plants with smiling faces behind them. The absence of any sense of decadence and distortion allowed every member of the exploration team to sincerely experience the joy that life brought.

It really came out... It really is a different world... Annatier and others couldn't help but exclaim in joy in their hearts!
"Praise the Fool!"

Derrick suddenly felt an impulse in his heart. He knelt on the ground, kissed the ground beneath his feet, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Colin was silent for a while after seeing this scene. Then he heard the joyful and choking voices of the people in Silver City:

"Praise the Fool!"

"Praise the Fool." Lovia, who believed in the True Creator, whispered.

Colin was silent for a moment, and also recited the Fool's honorific name softly:

"Praise the 'Fool'."

At this moment, Colin's eyes suddenly blurred and a figure appeared in his sight.

He was a middle-aged man with a stern face, dark hair mixed with a few white hairs, and a pair of rippled blue eyes.

The middle-aged man introduced himself with a gentle smile on his face:

"I am the attendant beside Mr. Fool's seat, the angel of secrets, Bethel."

"I am walking here on behalf of The Fool to welcome the arrival of everyone from Silver City."

"Praise the 'Fool'."

Derrick recited a sentence devoutly and said respectfully, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness Bethel."

He had learned about some of the customs of the Northern Continent's beliefs.

In major churches, if there is a demigod of angelic rank walking on earth, the suffix "Your Highness" should be added when addressing him/her in person to show respect. Similarly, the representative of the will of gods such as the Pope, the Pope, and the Patriarch should be addressed with "Your Majesty". In addition, the head of a religion can also be referred to as "Pontiff" or "Holy See".

Bethel Abraham smiled and nodded to accept his thanks, then looked at the tall giant beside him and said:
"Twilight Angel, leave this to me."

"what?"

Groselle scratched his head, and then realized that the Angel of Dusk was calling him.

Although he didn't know the other party, since they were both angels under the Fool, there shouldn't be any problem.

Besides, didn't The Fool say anything?

Thinking of this, Groselle nodded to Bethel and the people of Silver City, and his figure disappeared in the sunlight.

"Twilight Angel?"

The people of Silver City still had a dreamlike feeling in their hearts. That seemingly simple-looking giant was actually an angel? !
-
"Secret Angel, Evening Angel..."

Above the gray fog, Klein resisted the urge to cover his face, feeling both amused and helpless.

Could you please stop making things more dramatic for yourself?

The character of this Mr. 'Men' is really somewhat unexpected.

I'm afraid he has learned bad things from Emperor Roselle?
But Mr. Men is now his angel after all, so it would be unreasonable if he didn't have a title.

And he had to thank the other party for naming him "Secret Angel" instead of "Gate Angel", "Gatekeeper Angel" or "Calling Angel". As for Groselle's "Dusk Angel", it also sounded good and quite imposing.

And if you count it this way, there are actually quite a few angels sitting under The Fool.

The 'Secret Angel' Bethel, the 'Twilight Angel' Groselle, the 'Angel of Death' Mr. Azik, the 'Mercury Angel' Will Auceptin, the 'Headless Angel' Reinette...

"Live in Bengbu."

Klein covered his face. There were many angels, but most of them probably didn't know that they were the Fool's angels, let alone that the Fool was not even an angel.

Klein sighed and waved his hand to summon a few items from the pile of junk.

It is not known whether the extraordinary characteristics of the Miracle Worker were stripped from half of the Fool or from Zaratul, the Star Bug provided by the Abraham family, the Time Bug provided by the poet's grandfather, and the blood obtained from half of the Fool, a total of 300 milliliters.

Except for the extraordinary characteristics of the Miracle Worker, everything else is just auxiliary materials.

After preparing the materials, he materialized an iron pot, threw 300 milliliters of the Dark Wolf's blood into it, and then put in the 'Time Worm' and the 'Star Worm' that was shining brightly.

The dark red liquid in the iron pot gradually turned dark, the surface became transparent and clear, and a whirlpool was surging in the depths.

Without hesitation, Klein picked up the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Miracle Master'.

Its shape is like a heart, as transparent as crystal, but small bubbles emerge from it from time to time, and each bubble seems to contain an illusion.

When this extraordinary characteristic came into contact with the liquid in the iron pot, it was immediately absorbed into it, causing the darkness to condense instantly and become deep, as if countless eyes were opening at the same time.

After staring for a few seconds, Klein poured the prepared Miracle Master potion into a glass bottle and brought it to the real world through the bestowal ceremony.

On an uninhabited island shrouded in mist in the Sonia Sea, Klein, who had been teleported directly here, looked at the potion in his hand. His eyes flickered for a few seconds, then quickly returned to calm.

Klein picked up the bottle of potion and poured the liquid into his mouth.

Success or failure depends on this!
