Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 542 The Attendant and the Traveler

The wrathful strike from the "Lord of the Storm" was terrifying; Klein's body was instantly melted away in the lightning waterfall.

The other three, besides him, each had their own methods. Whether they exploited loopholes or manipulated the rules, this bolt of lightning could not truly kill them.

After a long while, perhaps because the "Lord of Storms" had calmed down, the torrents of lightning gradually disappeared, leaving behind three extremely disheveled figures.

Antigonus was in the worst condition; lightning still splattered from his body, and his robes were charred black.

This is only because He was targeted the least; otherwise, even He would have had to give up a resurrection.

In comparison, Medici and Amon, who had withstood most of the thunderous attack, were in relatively good condition, with only minor damage to their clothing.

They are true gods in essence, so naturally they can withstand this thunderous storm.

"Impressive. I admit, He has earned the right to be my opponent." Amon looked at the pile of ashes on the ground and nodded slightly.

"Ha, does He need your acknowledgment?" Medici scoffed instinctively. "I'm really looking forward to the day He takes you down. Don't come crying to your dad and teacher then."

"..." Antigonus looked at the pile of ashes on the ground and nodded silently, acknowledging his defeat.

In the midst of thunder, after Klein's death, Antigonus attempted to influence the historical fog using the uniqueness of "The Fool," and even tried to forcibly merge it through the "Extraordinary Characteristic Convergence Law," but all attempts failed; he could not compete with "Source Castle."

Despite having the upper hand, Klein still managed to escape; there's not much to say about that.

Then, Antigonus looked up at the "Source Castle".

……

When Klein died, his consciousness was completely extinguished.

But the next second, phosphorescent insects flew up from the historical fog and were guided back to the gray fog by the "Source Castle".

His consciousness returned, but instead of reviving immediately, he guided the revived phosphorescent insects in a certain direction through some strange connection.

That's the direction where the "Mysterious Servant" trait is located.

Klein did not choose to carry the "cloak" with him, firstly to prevent Antigonus from taking its properties, and secondly to provide himself with precise coordinates for entering the Dream Sea.

He had already guessed that when he saw the manifestation of the "Supreme Dream" mythical creature, he would lose consciousness and be unable to control the ritual.

Now it's up to Klein, who hasn't been resurrected yet, to take charge.

Klein mobilized the gray mist of the "Source Castle" and the dreamlike phosphorescence remaining in his body, "imagining" nine kinds of special products from the spirit world.

He incorporated these nine special products from the spirit world into his body in advance.

"grafting"!

Klein grafted his not-yet-fully-resurrected Phosphorus Worm onto the cloak of another body...

Buzz! In the next instant, Klein seemed to see a night sky and then merge into it.

The night was naturally the cloak, and Klein completely blended into it, which was also when he activated "Resurrection".

The mists of history began to churn, and the characteristics belonging to Klein within them returned, reintegrating into this body.

If this velvet-draped cloak had a life of its own, it would rejoice, for it had finally accomplished its original goal—to merge into Klein's body.

The cloak completely disappeared, merging into Klein's body.

At that moment, it was as if he had drunk a magic potion, and his whole body swelled up.

He lost control of his physical body and the phosphorescent insects, watching helplessly as they dissipated and merged into the spirit world, which could not be described in normal language or understood with normal logic, seemingly about to disintegrate into abstract, complex information.

At the same time, the utopia deep in the spirit world connected with Klein, and the fate of the town began to interact with Klein's consciousness, stabilizing his consciousness.

However, the most difficult hurdle to advance as a "Mysterious Servant" is not even the ritual or the maintenance of self-awareness, but the gradually recovering will of the "Mysterious Lord"!

Klein's mental will was almost instantly overwhelmed by that terrifying, ancient, and magnificent will.

This was the second time Klein had faced this terrifying will, and once again, there was no hope of resistance.

Under normal circumstances, even with the status of "Child of Fantasy" and the support of a large number of believers, Klein would not be able to maintain his own identity and would inevitably become the vessel for the resurrection of the "Lord of Mysteries".

However, at this very moment, it's not just the "Lord of Mysteries" who wants to take over Klein's body...

After witnessing the mythical creature form of "Supreme Dream," the influence of that dream had penetrated deep into Klein's soul.

"Those who look directly into dreams should become believers in dreams." This is an inherent characteristic of the dream body. However, in the process of becoming a "dream walker," one needs to go deeper, touch the essence of dreams, and understand the will of dreams.

Klein chose to advance to both "Mysterious Servant" and "Dream Walker" simultaneously, at which point he possessed two powerful wills within him.

For some inexplicable reason, Klein's body became the battlefield between the "Lord of Mysteries" and the "Supreme Dream".

This was Klein's most risky move yet, and even though Truman commented that the success rate was "not low," it was still far too daring.

After all, this kind of thing has probably never happened before...

"You're very bold..." A voice vaguely appeared in Klein's mind, and his body was now extremely noisy.

"That's true," Truman's voice rang out.

The sound subsided, and correspondingly, Klein's body disintegrated into a cloud of gray mist.

The gray fog solidified again, as if it had draped a mysterious and classic black robe over Klein's body and put on a hood that obscured his face. It would sometimes return to normal, only to be shrouded in a thin layer of grayish-white fog.

Such changes occur alternately, with the frequency gradually slowing down.

Whenever Klein transforms into a figure dressed in a black robe and hood, slippery tentacles with strange patterns always extend from beneath his clothing.

Of course, changes occasionally occur among those tentacles with strange patterns.

For example, several tentacles suddenly changed, shattering into countless overlapping orbs of light, which then coalesced into a dreamlike tentacle with the starry sky as its base color and shimmering with a seven-colored dreamlike light.

At this point, Klein's image is more like the mythical creature form of "Supreme Dream".

This is the result of a constant struggle between two old pillars within Klein's body.

The "Lord of Mysteries" wants to completely possess Klein's body and complete his resurrection, while the power of dreams is constantly assimilating Klein's soul and transforming it into something like a "puppet" or a "container of divine descent."

Being infected with either one would be fatal, but Klein happened to be infected with both.

This introduced a small surprise into the seemingly hopeless situation.
