Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 562 Prophecy

"Then hurry up." Bethel reached out and took the "Error" uniqueness and the "Time Worm" into his hands.

This was one of the agreements Klein and Bethel had made before.

Even with these two items, Bethel still had no advantage over Klein.

However, their chosen method was clearly not to engage in a fight.

"Hmm." Klein nodded slightly and walked towards the dark blue light gate. At the same time, Bethel also walked towards the true center of the "Source Castle".

Almost simultaneously, both of them developed numerous "mysterious" characteristics, their bodies began to transform into a gray mist state, and the bluish-black light gate mark between their brows kept flashing, as if the same will had awakened within them.

What they need to compete in is their resistance to the will of the "Lord of Mysteries." Whoever is stronger will gain the final qualification, while the other will voluntarily give up.

"The Creator has awakened and has displayed half the power of the Old Ones. He and the power left behind by the Master are quite confident that they can suppress the 'Source Castle' and temporarily sever your connection with it."

"And during that time I will integrate all the characteristics and take control of the 'Source Castle'."

Bethel looked at Klein's body, which was disintegrating much faster than his own, and spoke.

As the two approached the "Source Castle," the differences between them quickly became apparent.

Although their bodies were disintegrating, Bethel was in much better condition than Klein, as his starlight-formed body was able to put up a powerful fight as it transformed into gray mist.

This demonstrates a strong ability to control one's own characteristics.

In this respect, Klein was completely defeated, because the "Fool" path was originally the foundation for the "Lord of Mysteries" to revive himself, and one of the traits, the "Mysterious Servant," had been soaking in the "Source Castle" for thousands of years.

Klein's time as the "Mysterious Servant" was too short.

……

In the astral plane composed of authority and concepts, the ethereal figure of Sasriel, standing atop a chaotic, dark ocean, observes the ancient battles taking place in the cosmos.

The once eerie yet tranquil starry sky has completely changed today. Various ancient symbols and powers have turned the entire starry sky into what looks like a three-year-old's scribbles. Even the true god cannot see the real situation outside the barrier.

"..." Sasriel could naturally see that battle from the past, but He did not cross that barrier.

Because He is not yet at His most powerful state, and because the Earth needs His care right now.

At one point, He suddenly turned and glanced in the direction of "Source Castle".

In His eyes, countless brass-colored lights flickered, and He instantly came to a conclusion.

He reached out and gently grasped, and Amon appeared in His hand.

"I lost." Amon stared blankly at the towering figure of light before him, his expression softening slightly after confirming that it was his father god.

"Hmm." Sasriel nodded slightly. "It's not surprising that Bethel made this choice."

Amon raised his hand, wanting to squeeze his monocle, but at that moment, his arm stiffened, the uniqueness of "error" already remaining in "Source Castle".

His ability to emerge from the "Source Castle" was also a true death, with his physical form completely reduced to ashes.

He could only reach out and pinch his eye sockets, his expression somewhat complicated. "I didn't expect it to be this reason."

Even now, Amon finds Bethel's reasoning absurd.

"I overlooked this issue before." Sasriel didn't say much, but stared intently at "Source Castle".

Amon seemed to sense something as well, looking at "Source Castle" with a slightly surprised and strange expression, "Have they all gone mad?!"

He sensed the rapidly resurgent will of the "Lord of Mysteries" within the "Source Castle," which was ten or even a hundred times faster than He had anticipated.

This shows that the two people inside did not suppress the resurgence of the "Lord of Mysteries" at all; on the contrary, they actively accelerated the process.

"Even if Bethel hadn't made that choice, you would still have lost," Sasriel suddenly said.

Ammon was speechless.

At that moment, the enormous light and shadow that Sasriel had transformed into stretched out its hand and wrote a sentence in the chaotic, dark ocean.

"The Lord of Mysteries' resurrection in Klein Moretti has failed."

This is a prophecy made by Sasriel.

Sasriel's eyes gleamed with a brass light as he stared at the "Source Castle." He gleaned some information from the "Source Castle's" rhythm: Klein and Bethel inside were using this method to communicate with Him.

Sasriel closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, and wrote another sentence in the seawater: "The connection between Klein Moretti and 'Source Castle' has been temporarily severed for various reasons."

Two prophecies—this is the greatest help Sassril can offer at the moment; He also needs to conserve His power to meet Truman in the stars.

"Bethel won?" Amon was not surprised. He gently jumped down from the hand of the light and shadow. Having obtained the final result, he did not intend to stay here any longer.

Just as Amon was about to step out of the Astral Plane, He suddenly turned his head and looked at the "Source Castle".

Within the "Source Castle," the terrifying will's resurgence had reached a critical point, and that being's consciousness awakened once again.

At that very moment, inside the "Source Castle," under the dark blue-green light gate, Klein and Bethel had already reached the door, just one step away from entering.

At this point, Klein was nearing his limit, his body could no longer maintain its balance, and the slippery tentacles behind him were flailing wildly, shattering the space around him.

On the other side, Bethel was still able to barely maintain his human form. Although the starlight dissipated, it was constantly resisting the erosion of the gray fog.

"Give up. The Creator has already written the prophecy, and you are the 'Dream Walker' who can draw upon the power of your teacher." Bethel reached out and pressed his hand against the bluish-black light gate mark between his eyebrows, his face slightly contorted, clearly not feeling well either.

"Let's hope so..." Theoretically speaking, the power of the Creator and "Supreme Dream" is enough to suppress the Source Castle. After all, this is not about modifying the rules of the "Source Castle," but only about suppressing it slightly.

But Klein also understood that the "Lord of Mysteries" would not quietly wait for things to develop in a way that was not in His favor.

Klein stood before the dark blue portal and laboriously raised one of the controlled tentacles behind him, which quickly became dreamlike and dazzling.

All the dreamlike phosphorescence on Klein's body was poured into this tentacle, connecting it with the dreamlike power of the outside world.

Truman took the "Book of Dreams" to the starry sky, but Gensokyo and the Illusionary World still exist, along with two "Dream Gods," all of which are powers that Klein can borrow.
