Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 594 (Extra): The Train Stretching Across the Sky

Backlund, St. Clyne Church.

The main prayer hall was relatively quiet compared to the rest of the hall. No one spoke; the only sounds were the whooshing of straws, soft chewing, and muffled prayers.

The Church of Fools maintains its traditional style, allowing worshippers to enjoy desserts and sweet drinks inside the prayer hall.

Apart from Bishop Ild, who was sitting silently in the first row of the prayer hall.

Starting three days ago and continuing for the next week, the pastor was forbidden from eating at the church.

A few days ago, the church's bishop rejected the proposal of patron saint Klein Moretti to "open a bubble tea shop inside the church," and is now being "punished."

Of the major churches that still exist today, the Church of the Fools has the most harmonious atmosphere.

The "punishment" for "offending" a saint in the church is merely being unable to eat at church for a week, something the church would never even dare to imagine.

Even if it's just a joke.

Of course, it's unlikely that any other church would have a saint applying to open a milk tea shop inside the church.

The entire church exudes an eerie sense of ease; often, the Fool's Church feels more like a "theater" than a "church."

This applies to everything from the decor to the atmosphere.

The only difference is that the people on stage are preaching instead of performing.

However, if one had to choose, this relaxed and carefree atmosphere is what best fits the "Fool's Bible".

"God says: The fruits He gives are love, joy, peace, happiness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and delight."

"God says, everyone has the right to happiness. In your presence there is abundant joy, and at your right hand there is eternal pleasure."

At the Church of St. Clyne, free sweets called "Eternal Bliss" are available at the right end of the road.

Originally, a milk tea shop called "Abundant Joy" could have been opened next to the altar at the very front. But it ultimately didn't happen, which is a pity.

Klein sat in one of the seats in the prayer hall, scrolling through his phone.

Klein has now basically returned to the way he was when he first came into this world, with only minor differences.

With black hair and brown eyes, he wasn't particularly muscular, but had defined muscle lines. His features were soft and had a scholarly air, but with a slight hint of the sharpness of "German Sparrow".

Most importantly, his height increased from just over 1.7 meters to 1.85 meters.

With only a slight increase in height, Klein felt he had absolutely no need to worry about the risk of getting lost.

Moreover, he has fooled history.

Klein Moretti was born walking on his own two long legs.

Anyway, nobody remembers what happened back then, so he can do whatever he wants.

This is also one of his little tricks for maintaining humanity, which he was inspired by Will Uncédin playing a child.

He discovered that since Serres disappeared, the "divinity" that Serres had originally helped to bear part of was gradually returning.

Therefore, he also needs to do something to maintain humanity.

For example, making a little joke with the bishop or priest, or occasionally playing with history to create some interesting, non-existent memories for others.

Although the Celestial Venerable's consciousness is still sealed, Klein, just to be on the safe side, still needs to further develop his humanity.

My finger swipes across the phone screen, scrolling past messages one by one.

[Today's headlines: Renowned botanist Frank Lee published an article stating that, with the help of a volunteer named "Ammon," a significant breakthrough has been achieved in the experiment of hybridizing wheat, humans, and the Rose Bishop. An accompanying image shows "Mr. Ammon emerging from the ground like wheat." The Church's Science Ethics Committee has now intervened to evaluate the project.]
[Recently, Bishop Kyle Waters of the Information and Technology Church (formerly the Steam and Mechanical Church) delivered an emotional speech at a church, declaring that "mysticism no longer exists," which caused a strong disturbance among the attendees. The case is ongoing, and KFC has joined the investigation.]
[Recently, rumors circulated in some areas claiming that getting married required a staggering £2,000. This has been verified as untrue. The actual situation is that the £2,000 is for expenses incurred by both parties, including furniture and property purchases, and is not solely for the purpose of getting married. The announcement points out that some individuals are misrepresenting facts and inciting public anger, a ridiculous and despicable act. The church authorities remind citizens to rely on official documents and not to believe rumors.]
[Recently, a mysterious gray-haired girl has been spotted in several areas. According to witnesses, she is able to complete numerous complex requests for very little payment. Related research experts have hypothesized that this girl may be engaging in role-playing.]
Klein scrolled up and down the news interface to see what interesting news had recently come out.

Originally, the numerous events that had occurred recently had already brought "extraordinary" into the open and into everyone's view.

Especially with the rapid development of technology and the fact that almost everyone owns a mobile phone, news spreads quickly, and various related comments are everywhere on the internet, even appearing openly on news pages.

There were actually a lot of people using their phones in the church, so Klein didn't need to worry about standing out even without using any extraordinary abilities.

Suddenly, his spirit stirred.

He turned off his phone screen and turned his head to look to the side.

The next second, the chair next to him creaked, and someone appeared out of thin air and sat down next to Klein.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." A priest with jet-black hair but golden roots appeared beside Klein.

Klein chuckled and nodded in response, "Good afternoon, Mr. Ancient Sun God."

The ancient sun god still wore a gentle smile, and spoke in a soft tone about something extraordinary: "Recently, I have roughly figured out what the fallen mother goddess wants to do."

For those below the rank of angel, hearing these words was almost tantamount to "death." Yet the ancient sun god uttered these words so openly in a large prayer hall with hundreds of people present, without even lowering his voice.

But the people around remained unmoved; some ate, some prayed, and some played on their phones. No one was affected, no one's stomach suddenly swelled, and no one grew any unusual organs.

Everything seemed so normal that no one even noticed what was happening in that corner. Klein wasn't surprised at all, because although they appeared to be still in the same place, they had essentially entered Klein's divine realm.

Or rather, wherever there is a belief in fools, Klein's divine kingdom is grafted upon it.

"The fallen mother goddess seems to be preparing for 'death'," the ancient sun god continued.

"Hmm?" Klein raised an eyebrow.

“As you know, there is absolute [aggregation] in this world, which is the inevitability of the 'original' revival.”

"Just as the old consciousness will never be erased, so too will the 'original' consciousness that exists in all things."

Klein nodded to indicate that he understood, but did not interrupt.

"Therefore, the 'Origin' will inevitably be resurrected," the ancient sun god concluded, "whether it is due to [aggregation] or other reasons, whether it is due to the 'Creator in gestation,' the 'Creator in the mirror,' or other mutual attraction between the Old Days."

“This time will be very, very long, longer than anyone can imagine. But it will come one day. And for the fallen mother goddess, who is an ‘immortal,’ this means her inevitable death. It can only be postponed, but it cannot be stopped.” The ancient sun god spoke of something that Klein had also pondered.

“I remember that both [aggregation] and [division] are 'primordial' instincts,” Klein replied thoughtfully. “So, what He is doing now is hoping that after the 'primordial' splits again, He can re-split Himself?”

"Yes and no," the ancient sun god said calmly.

"When everything [aggregates] into the 'original', it is equivalent to the 'consciousness' of all people, all living beings, and even all inanimate objects being mixed together, becoming a spiritual Frankenstein's monster, and finally being covered by the consciousness of the 'original' itself."

He grasped the cross on his chest, his golden eyes looking into Klein's deep eyes: "Or rather, all things have a spirit, and everything has divinity. The part of divinity inherent in all things that belongs to the 'original' will be revived in all organic and inorganic matter in the world at the same time, and then merge together."

“But?” Klein uttered the word that signified a “turning point” beforehand.

The ancient sun god nodded: "However, there is indeed an exception."

"If the creator conceived by the fallen Mother Goddess truly appears, then that creator's own will will replace the original creator's will. Of course, it doesn't mean killing the original 'First,' but rather that every personality is part of the 'First,' and the 'First' can become any personality."

Klein understood the ancient sun god's words: "Everyone will eventually become part of the 'beginning,' and all consciousness will eventually become part of the 'original consciousness.'"

"Therefore, the more the newly born 'original' personality resembles the consciousness of the Fallen Mother, the less the Fallen Mother loses. As long as the newly born consciousness is completely in sync with the original Fallen Mother, then the Fallen Mother is essentially still alive."

Klein leaned back in his chair and shrugged: "This is actually a classic philosophical question: 'Am I really me, even though I have the same memories?'"

“Obviously, He thinks so.” The ancient sun god nodded, holding the cross.

Klein tapped the armrest of the wooden chair.

“A madman…” he muttered. “So what does this madman plan to do?”

The ancient sun god, with clear eyes, said: "In the last confrontation, He assimilated and acquired some of the symbols belonging to the [Lord of Mysteries] and the [Primordial God] through the path of [Harmony]. He then merged them with His own [Pillar] symbols, creating a very rudimentary and almost fragile half of the [Three Pillars] symbols. And the [Pillars] represent the highest and most stable state that could be maintained in the past. Crossing this line will lead to the initial revival."

"It is unknown what He did, but this symbol remains in a 'precarious' state, neither fully integrated nor completely interconnected."

“Then, He used [abundance] to revitalize it, and then incorporated it into the body, and used [fertility] and [harmony] in the authority of 'and collective consciousness' to give it its own personality.”

"Although He is not willing to let the 'first' embryo hatch so soon, it is clear that once that day comes, a 'first' with the personality of the 'fallen mother goddess' will hatch."

"That's why Serres stopped you from attacking Him in the first place. He's like an extremely unstable powder keg right now; one touch and he'll explode."

"No wonder."

Klein pinched his brow: "No wonder Serres said that He attracted the attention of Nanuk of Destruction, no wonder Serres said that the current Fallen Mother Goddess of Balance is compared to the sum of all other source matter."

The two pillars fell silent.

The problem is complicated because they can't touch the fallen Mother Goddess, otherwise, she might just explode.

At that time, even the Star Gods might not be able to stop it, because Nanuk would certainly be happy to stand in front of the other Star Gods.

"Isn't there any way?" Klein asked.

Just as the ancient sun god was about to answer, he heard the voice of Serres.

"Yep."

Serres's voice came abruptly.

The next moment, a symbol in the astral plane suddenly expanded, and a door appeared.

A train burst forth from it, stretching across the sky.
