Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 566 "Cause and Effect"

Klein slowly bent down, and the will of the "Lord of Mysteries" within him continued to strengthen, even more so than when he had just absorbed the characteristics of the three pathways!

From body to soul, Klein was tormented by a "hunger," an uncontrollable urge to get closer to Truman.

"Eat him! Eat him!"

"If you can eat him, I will no longer fight you for control of my body until the end of the universe..."

"You've felt it too, haven't you? Fantasy is the initial pursuit and the ultimate answer. If you can't hold back anymore, then don't hold back..."

The discernible information emanating from the will of the "Lord of Mysteries" was bewitching Klein's mind.

"Stop!" Dream said.

Klein suddenly felt the will of the "Lord of Mysteries" within him being suppressed by a pure and vast power, returning to within Klein's tolerance range.

"Uh..." Klein pinched his brow, finally catching his breath.

"You..." He couldn't help but glance at Truman.

"We'll talk about it later. You need to rest now." Klein is in a dangerous situation now because he has just become half of the "Lord of Mysteries" and has been in a confrontation with someone from the past.

"Alright!" Klein let out a soft breath, nodded slightly to Truman, and flashed back to "Source Castle".

At the same time, the enormous light and shadow that Sasriel had transformed into shrank and collapsed, reverting to its dual-path true god state.

Beneath His feet, the vast ocean that encompassed all colors and all possibilities vanished in an instant, as if returning to the earth.

He nodded slightly to Truman, then turned into a shadow and returned to the kingdom of the "True Creator".

His integration is still in its early stages and will require a period of adjustment.

"Go home, everyone." Truman glanced at the gods in the astral plane.

The Outer Gods continue to erode the barrier, but their intensity is not as high as before. The only troublesome thing is the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

This guy seemed genuinely angry, maintaining the symbolism of the "pillar" and constantly attacking the barrier, but fortunately, Truman's previous arrangements were able to block it.

The gods withdrew their gazes and returned to their respective divine kingdoms. Truman glanced around and also returned to "Gensokyo".

The astral planes fell silent again, and the concepts and authorities returned to normal.

"Phew..." The first thing Truman did upon returning to the fairytale castle was to close the "Book of Dreams" and put away his mythical creature form.

"It was somewhat risky, but extremely rewarding..."

He may not have made a move for many years, and the world seems to have forgotten that he was once called "the Blasphemer" by the "Elf King" and the "Dragon of Imagination".

His "blasphemy" is mainly reflected in the replication of the authority of the true God.

"Power, symbol..." A black thorny ring symbol, already half-finished, suddenly appeared in Truman's hand.

This is the "Ring of Fate"!

Of course, in the process of fighting the "Ring of Destiny", he also realized that it was unrealistic to completely replicate a symbol of "destiny".

After all, the Outer God is almost synonymous with "symbol".

"However, the quantity more than makes up for it; the harvest has been more than enough..."

Truman had about ten different symbols appear in his hand. Most of the Outer Gods had attacked him before, but the effects they had had were another matter entirely.

Most of these symbols are incomplete, with the small moon being the most complete one besides the "Ring of Fate".

"Oh, there's this too." Truman opened the "Book of Dreams" and took out the tributary of fate that he had broken off from the "Ring of Destiny".

It's not the source substance, after all, that's something that can only be torn apart in the "original" stage, but it does indeed carry a bit of the quality of "destiny".

"There are two characteristics, which should correspond to Sequence 1 of 'Destiny'?" Truman's expression was slightly strange.

Truman shook his head and attached this branch of fate directly to the Spear of Fate, enhancing its "inevitable" destiny characteristic.

"That's enough for now," Truman said, placing the "Book of Dreams" in front of him after counting his spoils.

He turned to the page on "cause and effect".

Everyone knows that his ritual is half complete, and that the God of "Dreams" and the God of "Truth" are both in the astral plane.

But who says that unifying uniqueness requires the emergence of a true god?

Moreover, he has already completely integrated the three uniquenesses. "All Things" was the first to be completed, and very few people know about it.

He had already wielded more than half of the true god's authority, after all, it was not difficult for Truman to fleece the true god.

"No, actually the fourth one is already finished..."

Truman's finger traced across the page on "Cause and Effect," and a thread took shape under his hand, gradually constructing a complete and realistic symbol of "Cause and Effect."

His unique rituals were all rather simple: "All Things" simply replicated authority, "Dreams" controlled the dreams of living beings, and "Reality" refined the false into the real.

The ritual for the uniqueness of "cause and effect" is "reversing the effect into cause".

But actually, this ritual is the one Truman least needs to worry about.

He only sought to merge with uniqueness after becoming a god; isn't that "putting the cause in the opposite order of cause and effect"?

Because of the unique nature of the "Dream" authority, Truman already possessed the combat power and status of a true god at the beginning of the Third Age, but all four unique aspects were not fully discovered until the end of the Third Age.

In the Fourth Age, Truman needed to kill Hades, so he used the Dream Authority, and then began preparing for the ritual.

After becoming a god, and even before reaching the old days, one is ready to merge with "uniqueness".

This is "reversing the effect to the cause," because becoming a god and becoming a quasi-Old One are both "effects," and then the fusion of uniqueness is the "cause." The order of the two is reversed, which perfectly meets the conditions.

Now that the "fusion of uniqueness" has been completed three times, there is no need to worry about the "cause and effect" ritual.

Before long, the "cause and effect" symbol was fully formed, and some kind of grand and indescribable change was taking place, gradually evolving, and the authority symbolized by the four uniquenesses was completely merged into "dream"!

"Stop." Truman glanced at the ripples that were about to spread outwards around him and deliberately erased them.

But Truman at this moment is truly different, much more powerful than before, and can use the "Dream" authority at will.

"It's done," Truman breathed a sigh of relief. The fusion of "cause and effect" wasn't difficult to begin with. As for why he didn't fuse it before going out to fight the Outer Gods...

Of course, we have to keep something in reserve. Didn't you see that Sasriel didn't go to the "Eternal Sun's" divine realm to ask for the uniqueness of the "Sun" and the Sequence One property?

Truman had said that he was willing to give up the "sun" whenever Sasriel needed it.

All I can say is, these are ancient creatures that have existed for thousands of years, who wouldn't have a trick up their sleeve?

Oh no, Klein has really revealed everything now...
