Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 524 Aha's Ashes
The genie's blurry golden figure swayed slightly:
"Well? Do you need to make a wish to me? Perhaps I can be merciful and grant your wish, helping you to twist a Sequence Nine Extraordinary trait? Which one do you want? Diviner? Apprentice? Or Thief?"

"I don't recall the Child of Chaos having the authority to provoke," the Celestial said nonchalantly, glancing at the armrest of his chair. "Is it because I've kept him imprisoned for too long that he's lost control?"

"You release me from my seal, freeing me. I will leave you with the extraordinary 'Miracle Master' properties you used to seal me, taking only my share. And you, you only need to make a wish to briefly regain your peak condition, and then use the blessings of the Source Castle to return you to at least Sequence Zero. Isn't that right?"

"As for witnessing, we will use our own 'source essence'. Although you and I both have ways to resist the backlash and reduce the damage caused by breaking the contract, it will not be without cost. We need to consider the consequences."

"I promise I will not stay here again. I will take my share back to the stars and never come back."

"Hehehe..." The Celestial Venerable chuckled.

"What are you offering to negotiate with me?" He retorted. "What would I possibly gain from making a deal with you?"

“Even for beings at our level, fate remains wondrous,” the genie replied. “If you make a deal with me now, you will at least gain the extraordinary qualities of a miracle worker. If you refuse, you may find yourself in an even worse situation.”

"Do you also believe that the alien god can kill me again?" The Celestial Venerable looked at the Genie, awaiting His answer.

"Perhaps it will be more painful for you than death?" the genie replied.

“I don’t believe you,” the Celestial Venerable said bluntly.

This surprised the genie: "What you're saying..."

"You may be a fool, but I don't believe the guy you're afraid of is a fool too."

The genie made a gesture resembling a frown, though he was merely a ball of golden light: "I am not afraid of him."

The Celestial Venerable smiled noncommittally: "You don't believe me when I say you're a fool."

"If you were really not afraid of him, would you be rambling on and on with me?"

He reached out and flipped his hand, and a cloud of gray mist immediately dragged the genie into Klein's pile of junk.

Although He cannot destroy the wishing lamp now, He only needs to use the force of the unit to gather, and in a few minutes He will be able to find the remaining extraordinary characteristics that belong to Him.

He leaned back in his chair, mobilized the Source Castle, and tried to bestow himself into Sequence Three to see if he could directly pull out his past historical projection.

At the same time, His pupils turned completely black, without a trace of light.

Two doors made of countless orbs of light appeared in His eyes.

The portal of light appeared quite clearly in the spirit realm, appearing before the Heavenly Venerable's eyes.

With the appearance of these two doors, the entire spirit world and the outside world trembled slightly, as if they had encountered an earthquake from a very distant place.

At this moment, the area around the Celestial Venerable became deep and mysterious, with one illusory star after another appearing. They surrounded the two strange gates of light in the Celestial Venerable's eyes, seemingly trying to converge upon them.

These illusory stars quickly entered the Celestial Venerable's eyes, with the two largest ones overlapping, corresponding to a certain area in the real world.

The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth largest stars are located in other places, in different places.

Through these illusory stars, the Celestial Venerable saw Mr. "Door" on an island, Antigonus in a dilapidated palace in a hidden world, Zarathustra, whose ashes were not yet fully resurrected and who was kept in seclusion, Palez Zoroaster on Leonard's body, Cortal the Dark Wolf, Otto who had fled to the stars, and Amon who was with the ancient sun god.

The ancient sun god raised his head and met the gaze of the Heavenly Venerable.

"Secret..."

The Celestial Venerable smiled.

"God……"

Two smiling faces faced each other.

Ok?
In the eyes of the Celestial Venerable, a smile gradually appeared on the face of the ancient sun god, and the moon grew larger and larger. Meanwhile, Amon beside him vanished instantly, along with the surrounding scenery.

Before the Celestial Venerable, all that remained was pitch blackness and a golden object that looked like a goblet.

The face of the ancient sun god floated above the goblet, gradually distorting into a mask.

"Let there be light!"

He heard the solemn pronouncement.

A priest appeared behind the Holy Grail and gently pushed it.

Instantly, the entire Source Castle was illuminated.

The golden phantom of the Holy Grail had already fully appeared in the Celestial Venerable's eyes.

Behind the Holy Grail is a grinning face.

That is a symbol of a life of pleasure.

"Hahaha." A burst of laughter appeared in the Celestial Venerable's mind.

The Celestial Venerable discovered that his connection with the Source Castle had been severed.

As the embodiment of the Source Castle, His connection with the Source Castle has been severed!
"You didn't expect that, did you?" He heard someone whisper in His ear.

“You must have checked the information in the Spirit Realm and knew that I am only slightly stronger than the average Ancient, and that I need to rely on external forces to reach the level of ‘Pillar’, so you dared to enter the Source Castle directly, right?”

"But haven't you ever thought about this? Since I'm only good at using external forces, yet I dare to set a trap for you, then I must have enough confidence to keep you here..."

"Oh, right. I remember now. You've been fooled, just like a genie."

“You know… oh you don’t. I value procedure. You fooled the genie, and I’ll fool you.”

I've been fooled? Are you kidding me?
This was the first thought that crossed the Celestial Venerable's mind.

"You can try to struggle and see if you can break free from the suppression of the 'Holy Grail'."

"Oh, right. I might have never said what this Holy Grail is, have I?"

"I'll let you in on a little secret: this is the urn that Boss Aha prepared for himself, which I stole."

"Haha, if we can break free, we'll give it a try."

"Let me think about it...let me think about it..."

Serres began to mutter to himself.

The gray mist surrounding the Celestial Venerable suddenly enveloped Him.

The gray fog turned golden, gradually solidified, and then rapidly shrank.

“This is the aggregation.” Serres’s voice rang out again. “In this Holy Grail, I have contained three Sequence 2 Destiny Trojans of Time Worms and one Sequence 1 Mysterious Servant of Spirit Worms.”

"You want to get them through aggregation, right? Great, now they're coming to you."

Just then, the genie's voice came from the pile of junk: "Didn't I tell you?"

"Even for beings at our level, fate remains wondrous."
