Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 379 Purpose

Why is it an illusionary realm and not a spirit realm?

Almost all extraordinary beings use the spirit world to perform long-distance jumps and teleportations, but the "spectator" method does not.

Those who are extraordinary through the "Audience" pathway can perform spatial jumps through dreams at Sequence Five, and later they can even utilize the collective unconscious sea.

The name "Sea of ​​the Collective Unconscious" became obsolete three hundred years ago; it should now be called "Illusionary Realm."

The opening of the illusionary realm did not deprive the extraordinary individuals of the "audience" of their corresponding abilities in the sea of ​​the collective unconscious.

In some aspects, the "audience" approach has even acquired some peculiar abilities.

For example, after becoming a "manipulator", the "audience" can physically enter the illusionary world to conduct a "consciousness walk" and use the omnipresent nature of the illusionary world to teleport over long distances.

"This..." This was the basis for Klein's spiritual intuition telling him to give up the attack; he simply couldn't catch up.

He had never tried to enter the illusionary realm with his body before, and even if he tried now, it would take a certain amount of time, which would be enough time for the enemy to escape far away.

"It's the 'Manipulator,' Sequence Four of the 'Audience' pathway." When Lord Saint Anthony came to Klein's side, he didn't even try to give chase.

"A mysterious force led them away," Saint Anthony explained to Klein.

"Beware of the audience..." Klein recalled those words, and Rosell's warning was indeed true.

"Who exactly are they?" Saint Anthony's expression turned serious. He hadn't even entered when Klein had probed earlier.

"They're probably from the Augustus family," Klein said.

"Augustus?!" Saint Anthony frowned. "What exactly are they trying to do? Is it because the Church's recent actions have provoked them?"

"That's possible, but it could be a ritual," Klein told St. Anthony, sharing what he had gleaned from his observations.

"Ritual?" St. Anthony seemed to have thought of something. "The 'arbitrator' and 'lawyer' pathways to higher-order rituals involve legal aspects."

"Could it be that a member of the Augustus family is about to be promoted to... 'Angel'?" "Angel" was Klein's guess. After all, if it were Sequence Four or Sequence Three, they shouldn't need this level of ritual. At least they would be angels, and it's very possible that they would be higher.

"That's possible," Saint Anthony nodded slightly.

"It's no secret that the Augustus family has angels, but why are they doing it in secret? Are they afraid we'll stop them?"

"Why?" Klein asked, puzzled.

"Unless that person has a special identity." There seemed to be a tangible darkness flowing in Anthony's eyes, causing Klein's heart to tremble involuntarily.

"King, George III," the saint said softly.

"Him? Isn't he only Sequence 5?" Klein was also surprised.

"That might not be the case now. He might be secretly getting promoted without our knowledge. What is he planning?!"

Anthony's aura involuntarily overflowed, affecting Klein, but in the next instant he restrained the fear power he was spontaneously emitting.

"Now we may need you to come with us," Saint Anthony said.

"There is an unwritten rule between us and the royal family that angels and level 0 sealed artifacts cannot appear in Backlund."

"Now that they want to cross the line, we have every reason to question them."

"Let's go together!"

"Wait a minute!" Klein hadn't expected things to develop this way either.

After Anthony removed the domain, the world returned to its original state. Klein looked behind him and saw the carriage not far from where they were.

Klein nodded almost imperceptibly before leaving with Anthony.

He had long since noticed these two "helpers" behind him, and if Anthony had arrived later, these two would have been one of his means to break free of the area.

However, it's no longer needed.

The people in the carriage received this message, and the carriage turned onto another road.

"Let's go." Klein looked at Anthony, the archbishop, who possessed an even deeper sense of authority than he did.

Anthony and Klein arrived at the Church of the Night as quickly as possible and sent a telegram to Ace Snake, the "Singer of God" of the Church of Storms, asking him to come and meet them. Afterwards, these three representatives of the Church of Backlund entered the Royal Palace of Rune!

The process was so fast that Klein was almost overwhelmed, finally witnessing the power a true archbishop could wield when he was determined to do something.

"What is the Augustus family up to!?" Ace Snake's eyes seemed to flash with lightning, and he had no goodwill whatsoever towards the person who had given him extra work.

"You'll see when you get inside." Klein looked at the magnificent palace; this was his first time here.

This reminds me of a story I heard before: after the evil god's sacrifice, the archbishops of the major churches came to the palace together, which led to the "Survival Act".

But just a few months later, he became the one who came here.

"His Majesty the King requests your presence." A palace guard led the three archbishops into the palace that represented the king's majesty.

Then Klein saw George III.

Klein had previously seen the king from across half the hall in the Hall of Order.

But he is now more dignified and unfathomable than he was back then.

"What are you doing?" King George III's serious and stern face exuded an awe-inspiring majesty.

As for Klein, a certain power descended upon him the moment he stepped into the palace, giving him a feeling of being constantly "forbidden".

...To be at odds with the whole world? But not in the sense of being a "puppet"...

Standing here, Klein felt that his attire, manners, and even his gaze were out of place in the world.

"The power of law or rules?" Klein asked, looking directly at George III without any hesitation.

"If it weren't for you, I would be the 'Balancer' by now," King George III suddenly sighed.

"The Balancer is Sequence Two of the Arbitrator pathway," Anthony explained softly to Klein.

Unlike the other two archbishops, Klein's tenure was far too short, and his grasp of various secrets was far inferior to theirs.

"Your Majesty, what do you intend to do?" "The Singer of God" Ace Snake asked directly.

"What do I want to do? I only want to protect my people!" King George III's face was resolute and serious, with an almost angelic majesty that Klein's inspiration failed to register.

Is this true? Klein blinked; at least his intuition told him that George III's words came from the heart.

This... is very different from what Klein originally thought.
