Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 540 "The Dream Walker"

The moment Klein saw the "Fool's" mask, even Klein on the "Source Castle" felt a slight dizziness and as if he had lost his ability to think.

But then the gray mist shifted slightly, and his cloak billowed up, obscuring Klein's eyes like a curtain of night, and he awoke.

"No! We're too passive!" Klein can no longer even make that utopia disappear.

His true self dared not leave the "Source Castle" at all, as he would be controlled to death by that historical projection alone.

Klein's expression turned serious, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to the "Wishing Lamp" beside him.

Under the watchful eyes of Amon and Antigonus, it was almost impossible for Klein to perform the Sequence One ritual again. Even if he managed to escape this time, he probably wouldn't have another chance.

Therefore, the best option is to complete the ceremony and promotion today!

"But my role as the 'miracle worker' is still one step away from completion..."

Klein looked at the "Wishing Lamp" and made a decision in three seconds.

His body began to split apart, and a portion of the "phosphorus worms" emerged from his body, coalescing into a phantom human figure. During this process, immeasurable dreamlike phosphorescence detached from Clay's body and came to the phantom figure.

At the same time, Klein's cloak also transferred to this illusory figure.

"Still a little short..." Klein thought for a moment and then incorporated the Dream Card and Dream Crystal Ball into it.

This time, the figure gradually solidified, becoming exactly like Klein.

Klein used "Imagination" to force out most of the dream phosphorescence, and with the addition of the dream card and the dream crystal ball, he created "himself".

This body is almost equivalent to His true form, bearing most of the dreamlike phosphorescence.

The two Kleins exchanged a glance, their minds in sync. Being of the same soul, they needed no further explanation. The Dream Klein left the "Source Castle" directly through the causal link.

Next, Klein glanced at the "Wishing Lamp," stuffed it into his pocket, took a deep breath, and, as if going to his execution, left the "Source Castle" and arrived in Utopia!

"You?" Antigonus and Amon both looked in the direction Klein had appeared at the same time, both filled with surprise and doubt.

"Your true form?" Antigonus paused his attack, his eyes behind the transparent mask falling on Klein.

For an angel who is a "diviner," the appearance of his true form is a very unusual thing, especially given that Klein possesses the "Source Castle."

Given that the other competitors dare not unleash the resurrected will of the "Lord of Mysteries" within them, even a true god would find it difficult to forcibly enter the "Source Castle." As long as Klein hides inside the "Source Castle," he is practically immortal until the final competition arrives.

But now that Klein's true form has appeared, that's the biggest abnormality.

"As you can see." Klein nodded slightly.

"..." Antigonus hesitated for only a moment before raising his hand again, fooling the rules and fooling the mind!

Klein's true form directly confronted the unique power of "The Fool," and was inevitably suppressed. However, with the help of the power of "Source Castle," he was able to barely maintain his "decency" in Antigonus.

—At the very least, you can't act like a fool; a "fool" isn't really stupid.

After confirming that his intelligence still held the upper hand, Klein reached out and gently grabbed again, causing the void to crack open and revealing a real ocean above his head.

"Dreamlike Sea"!

Klein was finally able to hold his own against Antigonus.

However, Antigonus was ultimately an angel of the Dream Cult, and the "Sea of ​​Dreams" had far less effect on him than on the other angels.

It was at this moment that the dream version of Klein had already arrived in "Gensokyo".

This time, Klein dared not delay any longer and went straight to the core of Gensokyo, to the first dream statue.

After becoming a Dream Angel, Klein's authority within the Dream Cult was elevated to a level second only to the Pope, so he possessed a wealth of knowledge that he could obtain from the Dream Realm with just a thought.

For example, the first sequence of the "Dream" path.

"'Dream Walker,' the agent of the will of 'Supreme Dream.'"

This is the definition of the "Dream" pathway sequence one within the Dream Cult.

Just by looking at the sequence name "Dream Walker," you can tell what this sequence is about.

There is actually only one "Dream Walker" in the Dream Cult, and that is Pope Hermes.

This pope spent thousands of years proving his piety. After stabilizing himself, he received permission from the "Supreme Dream" and was finally promoted to "Dream Walker," meticulously practicing the will of the "Supreme Dream."

Yes, the ritual of the "Dream Walker" is very simple: it is to face the true form of the "Supreme Dream"!

This requires the permission of "Supreme Dream".

From the perspective of this ceremony, the actual advancement is not that difficult. However, even Hermes took thousands of years to adapt, and the "mysterious angel" who was showered with love and affection also stayed in Sequence Two for a hundred years.

Facing the mythical creature form of the "Supreme Dream" is like facing a corruption of the "Old Ones" level. Even with the permission of the "Supreme Dream," it is not easy, and one can easily lose oneself in that endless dream.

"You want to become a 'Dream Walker'?" Truman suddenly appeared in front of Klein, looking at him with great interest.

The battle that took place in Utopia could not be kept from him, but he did not interfere. If Amon could take the "Source Castle", then the "Source Castle" should belong to him.

"Yes." Klein nodded solemnly.

"You can't handle it." Truman told Klein the result directly: becoming a "Dream Walker" is the most difficult step on the "Dream" path, and Klein has no chance now.

"I plan to use the 'Lord of Mysteries' to keep you in check," Klein said frankly, revealing his thoughts.

"Hmm?" Truman raised an eyebrow, but in an instant he understood what Klein meant.

"A very interesting idea, and the success rate is not low."

"But are you ready to be my proxy?" Truman nodded slightly, looking into Klein's eyes.

"Dreamwalker" is the agent of the will of "Supreme Dream". This is not just talk. After becoming a "Dreamwalker", one becomes a true agent and will undergo a qualitative change in spirit.

"Am I not now?" Klein retorted, a dreamlike shadow always looming over him throughout his life.

"...Okay." Truman looked at Klein, nodded slightly, and approved Klein's promotion.
