Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 1380 Joining Forces

The "curtain" that shrouded the Antigonus Palace vanished instantly, and an indescribable aura returned to reality, causing the entire astral plane to tremble.

Outside the world barrier riddled with cracks, those terrifying faces, defying description, simultaneously began to move.

The invisible barrier began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse inch by inch at any moment.

Earthquakes occurred on every continent of the inner planet, not severe but noticeable.

On the five seas, the waves surged high, as if they had encountered a sudden tidal pull.

At noon, the crimson moon suddenly appeared in the sky, its color becoming extremely rich and exaggeratedly expanding, as if it were hanging on the roof of every house. In addition, brown, orange, red, gold, and blue stars shone brightly at the same time, emitting light of different textures.

If you looked down from the starry sky, the entire Earth would appear to be caught in an invisible storm, shaking in place.

These are the slight changes brought about by the Outer Gods' attempts to break through the barrier.

The aura emanating from the ancient palace floating in the astral plane reminded them of that terrifying being. In response, they either flew into a rage or went mad, all trying to prevent the other's resurrection.

Compared to those who were kept out of the real world, the first to react was the "Wishing Lamp" in Klein's "main body" pocket.

The viscous, pale golden light suddenly pierced through Amon's enhanced seal, transforming into a blurry and distorted figure.

It stretched out its arm and caught the "Trensost Brass Book" in its palm.

All the previously written rules disappeared, and new clauses were formed instantly:

"The dead are forbidden to rise from the dead here!"

A wisp of pale gray mist flashed, and familiar text reappeared ahead of this rule:

"The following rules are invalid!"

Even before he was truly resurrected, and before he absorbed the uniqueness of "The Fool" and the extraordinary characteristics of the two Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 "Diviner" pathways, the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" within Klein's "body" could still control "Source Castle" and, through his position, call upon his power.

At this moment, His existence interacted with the mists of history, and fragments of light twisted and twisted, sometimes connecting into one, sometimes falling apart, unable to completely form a piece of history.

That period of history contained irreconcilable self-contradictions!

The true history is that Klein Moretti, who merged with the soul of a prehistoric human, impersonated "The Fool," formed the Tarot Club, and grew stronger step by step until he was close to the level of the real "The Fool." The current history is that Mr. "The Fool" is a resurrected great being, the "Heavenly Venerable of Fortune and Prosperity" from ancient times, who has finally been resurrected!

At this moment, although the rule restriction completed by the "Genius" using the "Trentost Brass Book" only took effect for less than a second, it still weakened the will of the "Lord of Mysteries" within Klein's "body" considerably, as if he had suffered a fatal blow.

Both the Earth Mother and the God of Steam and Machinery gave up interfering with Amon's clones, seemingly wanting to free up this "mistake" to deal with the resurrected "Lord of Mysteries".

However, despite having some spare power, they did not attempt to influence Klein's "true form," but instead continued to suppress the "Primordial Witch" and the "Hidden Sage."

The attacks and interference from the latter two also subsided, as if they were waiting for a result to emerge.

For them, the resurrection of the "Lord of Mysteries" would also achieve their purpose:

To create a "pillar" in the shortest possible time; to prevent those who hate him from becoming the "Lord of Mysteries".

Furthermore, none of the paths they follow belong to the three paths controlled by the "Lord of Mysteries," and they have no enmity or conflict of interest with the other party.

Unaffected, Amon immediately changed his target, focusing most of his attention on Klein's "true form".

Without needing anyone to explain, they clearly understood that this was their greatest threat!

Without hesitation, the Amons simultaneously raised their right hands, gently clenched their fists, and solemnly "stole" the "Eternal Day" effect from their target.

However, the Amons did not give up on influencing Klein. Relying on their large numbers, they sent a small number of members to Klein, who was currently a Sequence 1 "Mysterious Servant" and bore the identity of Antigonus.

These monocles of Amon suddenly lit up, using the authority associated with the "Door" to move Klein out of the real world and into the starry sky.

Within the vast, dark universe, Klein's figure emerged, then instantly thinned, transforming into a paper figure.

The paper figure first swelled up and gave birth to a paper baby, then quickly decayed and rotted into dust.

Klein used "grafting" and "paper doll substitutes" to block Amon's attack.

Meanwhile, the other Amons succeeded in stealing the "Eternal Day" effect from Klein's "original body".

However, the next second, the "Eternal Day" effect was "stolen" back by the other party.

This is the "Lord of Mysteries'" control over the abilities of this path, even though He has not yet truly resurrected, but has only begun this process.

Amon's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately abandoned Klein's side, shifting his focus to three things:

Most of them continued to "steal" the "Eternal Day" effect that had been given away to fight against the "Lord of Mysteries," while a small number targeted Antigonus on the giant stone chair, "stealing" his "Eternal Sleep" state indiscriminately.

In addition, all of Amon's enhancements to the seal have been removed, and some have even been weakened.

Klein, no longer attacked by Amon and his companions, did not retaliate either, focusing his attention on his own "true form".

The biggest problem is the resurrected "Lord of Mysteries" there!

In an instant, a phantom mark appeared between Klein's brows. It was a strange light gate tinged with a bluish-black hue, from which a thin, grayish-white mist continuously emanated.

Klein began to vie with the "Lord of Mysteries" for control of the "Source Castle," making it less easy for the other party to use his status to mobilize power!

This can effectively reduce the opponent's strength before the "Lord of Mysteries" is truly resurrected and before it can accommodate the uniqueness and corresponding extraordinary characteristics of the "Fool". It increases the failure rate of many of His operations and makes the effect significantly worse.

With his addition and his control over the "Source Castle," the "fooling" of the "Trentost Brass Book" was immediately weakened, and the success rate of Amon's "stealing" also increased.

Almost simultaneously, within the Land Forsaken by the Gods, beneath the colossal shadow of the ancient sun god, on the surface of the all-encompassing sea, a text written in the most ancient language rapidly appeared:

"The resurrection of 'Lord of Mysteries' ultimately failed due to interference from various parties."

As this statement took shape, and as Klein seized control of the "Source Castle," Amon and his allies once again "stole" the "Eternal Day" effect that had been attached to the "Lord of Mysteries."

On the other hand, they also "stole" Antigonus's "eternal sleep" state.

Without the slightest hesitation, Amon and the others transferred the state of "eternal slumber" to Klein's "original body" and to the "Lord of Mysteries".

The aura of that ancient being's resurgence immediately subsided, but soon rebounded.

At this very moment, the corresponding clauses on the weakened seal of the "Trensost Brass Book" once again took shape:

"The dead are forbidden to rise from the dead here!"

Suddenly, the terrifying will within Klein's "body" weakened rapidly, showing a strong tendency to fall back into slumber.

But this will is so strong that even the long passage of time cannot completely wear it down. Under the double restrictions, it continues to grow and revive tenaciously, little by little, and tries to use "tampering" and "fooling" to get out of the current predicament.

Klein sensed that the other party was using the power of the "Source Castle" and immediately focused his mind to interfere.

At the same time, the "Goddess of the Night," floating above the ancient palace, slightly relaxed her control over Amon's true form, withdrew the bird-shaped golden ornament, and pointed its head downwards.

From within the bronze eye of this bird-shaped gold ornament, illusory, layered doors emerged, allowing a colorless drop of water, imbued with an aura of eternal stillness, to fall onto Klein's "true form" within the ancient palace.

This is a drop of water from the "River of Eternal Darkness"!

As the "Goddess of the Night" was doing this, Amon's true form's attempt to escape through the "door" subtly slowed down.

The drop of water fell extremely fast. The natural barrier constructed by the "Earth Mother Goddess" and the civilized picture presented by the "God of Steam and Machinery" both contracted slightly to make way for it.

With a soft thud, the water from the "River of Eternal Darkness" dripped precisely onto the top of Klein's "main body" head, silently seeping inside.

The aura of the "Lord of Mysteries," which was gradually growing, immediately subsided, lost its fluctuations, and fell into eternal slumber once more.

However, this state is very unstable and seems to be broken at any time.

At that moment, the "Goddess of the Night" drew a huge longsword from the void with her last empty hand.

The surface of the longsword was covered with an orange-red light, exuding an aura of twilight and decay.

This is a symbol of the "Twilight Giant".

The "Goddess of the Night" stretched out her arm covered in short, jet-black hair and slashed the exaggerated giant sword downwards.

He always had energy to spare, as if he was preparing for this moment!

Amidst the strange sounds of the void cracking and decaying, the longsword, bathed in the light of dusk, cleaved through the dome of Antigonus's palace, causing the hanging corpses to fall to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, it struck Klein's "true form," who was still in a state of eternal slumber.

The portion of the "Lord of Mysteries" that had been revived rapidly died out, and the body decayed and collapsed in an unstoppable manner. Along with the uniqueness of the "Fool" on the face and the two extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 within the body, they also collapsed and merged together.

Seeing this, Klein didn't hesitate and, following the plan, activated "Source Castle," pulling down a quarter of the historical fog and enveloping the thing.

Amidst the pervasive gray mist, the uniqueness of "The Fool" and those extraordinary characteristics came together in a complete way.

They frantically absorbed the surrounding historical mists, transforming into a formless, dark, and profound liquid.

The liquid stretched and shifted, as if trying to form a strange, semi-transparent hooded cloak, or a person whose internal organs and flesh had been ripped out.

The Fool's Potion!

The Amons simultaneously stretched out their right hands and "stole" the potion.
