Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by four angels, the Dark Wolf Kotal's expression changed slightly, but he reacted quickly. His body trembled violently, and he threw out the semi-transparent velvet 'curtain' almost without hesitation.

The 'curtain' first disappeared into thin air, then suddenly appeared behind Klein, covering him and enveloping him just as his spirit gave a warning!

Klein's vision suddenly went dark, and he felt his thoughts suddenly slow down as the 'spiritual threads' were inoculated one by one onto the 'curtain'.

"not good!"

Klein's heart skipped a beat. The Dark Wolf had experienced the same thing, and that 'curtain' had turned it into a puppet in just two or three seconds. Although the Dark Wolf had only lost one historical projection that time, Klein still dared not be careless!

This 'curtain' contains extraordinary properties of Sequence 1, and in some ways is equivalent to an activated Sequence 1 angel. The Dark Wolf could only barely suppress it with the power of a miracle, but Klein might not be so lucky!

He attempted to 'teleport' away, but all his attempts, though shrouded in the 'curtain,' ended in failure.

The black velvet 'curtain' tightened even more, making Klein's eyes, nose, mouth, and other features stand out, as if it were trying to sculpt a completely new 'person'.

Renette Tinicol immediately 'jumped' and appeared on the semi-transparent 'curtain,' forcing it to detach from Klein's body and move to the other side.

Taking advantage of Klein's distraction by the curtain and his inability to stop the "miracle," the Dark Wolf immediately made a wish and responded to itself, teleporting to a distant place before running away without looking back.

No one knows where He went, and no one will know, not even He Himself!

"That's really decisive."

Klein looked in the direction where the Dark Wolf had disappeared, his expression slightly subtle.

Looking at Mr. "Door," his face showed even more astonishment than his own. Clearly, no one had expected the Dark Wolf to act so rashly. They hadn't even officially started fighting, and the Dark Wolf hadn't even put up any real resistance—and it had just run away like that?

You ran away, fine, but you even decisively abandoned the 'Curtain,' which was His only chance to advance to Sequence 1. If Klein were in the Dark Wolf's position, he knew he couldn't have given up so decisively; he would at least have struggled.

It can only be said that He is indeed an angel who has survived from the Second Age to the present day; there is a reason why He has been able to live to this day.

Moreover, this was not entirely unexpected.

After all, Klein made such a big fuss partly to scare the Dark Wolf.

For example, Mr. "Door" could have descended silently and launched a sneak attack on the Dark Wolf from behind, but he chose to appear openly from the illusory gate of "Azure," with the purpose of putting pressure on the Dark Wolf.

Klein hadn't expected the Dark Wolf to be so obedient, not even bothering to struggle—"I just used a basic attack, why did you use your Flash?"

"Let's go too," Klein said quickly, picking up the 'curtain' that was curled up on the ground.

The commotion they just made wasn't huge, but it wasn't small either.

Both True Creation and Amon could be drawn there. Although the four archangels under the Fool are gathered together, their strength may not be inferior to Amon's. However, impressed by the Dark Wolf's decisiveness, Klein also chose to follow his heart—one Amon is not scary; what is scary is that Amon is not alone.

Mr. Door's mind stirred, and a scene was constructed in his mind.

The next moment, Klein and the messenger disappeared in the shimmering light of the gemstone.

A few seconds later, the air rippled, and a tiny creature, barely visible to the naked eye, crawled out.

The creature rapidly expanded and transformed into Amon, wearing a pointed soft hat and a classic black robe.

Amon adjusted the monocle he was wearing over his right eye and clicked his tongue softly.

"Wow, you run really fast."

However, this puts them on the same starting line.

-

After several relocations, the three finally arrived at a manor on the outskirts of Backlund.

Miss Messenger has returned to the spirit world, and Klein is also preparing to take his leave.

But just then, Mr. Door called out to him.

Mr. Door, meeting the World for the first time, asked with a smile:

"Mr. 'Fool,' right?"

"Yes." Klein nodded slightly, making no attempt to hide it.

In fact, the Fool is a resurrected ancient god, a story that can only fool children.

For the angels who have seen the profane tablets, the existence of the Fool is a false proposition.

To become the Fool, one must collect three Sequence 1 Extraordinary traits and Uniqueness.

Prior to this, the Tarot Club had not had a single "Fool".

Therefore, this Mr. Fool is at most a Sequence 2—which is why Amon dared to invade the Source Castle back then.

After all, He knew the whereabouts of the three Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of the 'Fool' pathway. The 'Fool' who possessed the 'Source Castle' was at most a Sequence 2. Even with the support of the 'Source Castle', his strength was at most only Sequence 1.

In this situation, invading the source fortress is a win-win situation.

What Amon could figure out, Mr. Door could naturally guess as well. Although he had not returned to the real world for thousands of years and had been in a semi-mad state for those thousands of years, he was not completely out of touch with reality. He was still able to understand some of the things happening in reality through certain means—such as Emperor Roselle.

There is naturally no need to hide it from those who understand.

Seeing Klein readily admit it, Mr. Door couldn't help but sigh:

"Wow, that's fast. It feels like just yesterday I saw you, you had only just advanced to Sequence 4."

Klein's eye twitched. His ritual to advance to Sequence 4 was an adjunct to summoning Mr. "The Door." At that time, the Seven Gods, Mr. "The Door," and even beings like Amon and Adam were all His audience.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that I've become an angel, I have an urge to cover my face.

How dare he do that back then?

Seeing that Klein seemed somewhat embarrassed, Mr. Door smiled and said:

"I mean no harm. Well, the angels under the 'Fool' should naturally not be disrespectful to the 'Fool,' but I still have a question for you."

"What's the problem?" Klein asked in a very friendly tone.

He had a very good impression of Mr. Door, not only because the other party was now the "Guardian Angel" under the "Fool", but also because of the other party's more than a thousand years of perseverance in the starry sky - for more than a thousand years, Mr. Door was tormented by the corruption of the Outer Gods at all times, but He never gave in.

Even the reason He was corrupted was because He was driven out by the Goddess of Night and the Lord of Storms. It would be a lie to say that He did not harbor resentment. But even with resentment, He did not have the extreme thought of "Since I am already in such a miserable state, I might as well let the world perish with me."

If it were Klein, he knew he couldn't do it.

Klein chuckled to himself; his nature was still selfish.

If he really experienced what Mr. Door went through, he would most likely think, "What do I care if the world is destroyed after I die?"

Of course, he is not Mr. "Door".

He did not suffer from thousands of years of loneliness and torment, nor was he alone—he had family and friends.

Even for their sake, he wouldn't actually have such thoughts of taking revenge on the world.

Mr. Door's gaze turned serious in an instant, and he asked in a deep voice:

"The extraordinary properties and uniqueness of the three Sequence 1s should now be in your hands, and you can become the 'true god' of Sequence 0 at any time."

"But my question is, between you and him, who will become the 'Lord of Mysteries'?"

"Not the 'Fool,' but the 'Lord of Mysteries'?"

Klein realized something: would the 'Diviner' pathway and the 'Gate' pathway really still conflict above 'Sequence 0'?

Klein hesitated for two seconds before slowly speaking:

"Before that, I'd like you to tell me, what is the 'Lord of Mysteries'?"

Mr. Door was somewhat surprised:

"Haven't you seen the Blasphemy Slab?"

"no."

Klein said frankly:

"He had only seen the first blasphemous tablet."

"Oh, I see. I see."

A knowing look appeared in Mr. Door's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"You should know something about the birth of 'True Creation,' right?"

Klein nodded slightly and replied:

"He was born when the ancient sun god fell."

"That's right."

Mr. Door explained:

"In fact, when the 'Ancient Sun God' fell, not only was the 'True Creation' born, but also several other gods and the second blasphemous tablet."

"The second blasphemous slab?"

Klein's eyes gleamed. The gods he was referring to were undoubtedly the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

As for the creation of the second "Blasphemy Slab," he only saw a few words about it in Russell's diary.

Mr. Door paused for a moment, then said with a serious expression:

"The first blasphemous stone tablet was born from the Chaos Sea, so it can mobilize the power of the Chaos Sea to a certain extent."

"The second 'Blasphemy Tablet' was born from the corpse of the ancient sun god, recording the secrets He glimpsed in His later years—secrets beyond the order!"

Klein's pupils contracted slightly as he immediately combined the information he had previously gathered—

In different versions of the history of mysticism, there are accounts of the first and second blasphemous tablets.

The first blasphemous tablet appeared during the Dark Ages, marking the rise of humanity.

The second blasphemous tablet appeared at the end of the Tertiary period, marking the end of the Cataclysmic Era!

The reason the Cataclysmic Era ended was because the ancient sun god had fallen, and the three true gods, including Eternal Sun, divided up the extraordinary characteristics of the ancient sun god, resulting in the resurrected True Creator being just an ordinary true god.

The corpses that had lost their extraordinary properties were the culmination of the ancient sun god's life's work—the second blasphemous tablet.

Klein immediately asked:

"Have you seen the second blasphemous tablet?"

Mr. Door smiled and nodded, saying:

"You should be familiar with the history of the Quaternary period, right?"

"The Black Emperor and the 'True Creation' jointly established the Solomon Empire. At that time, Adam stood on the opposite side of the Solomon Empire. Neither the Black Emperor nor I were involved in that event, so naturally we had no opportunity to see the second blasphemous tablet."

"But in order to gain the support of the Black Emperor, the True Creator must have told Him the contents of that blasphemous tablet."

"In the later part of the Fourth Age, the Black Emperor fell, and the Tudor Empire and the Trensost Empire were established. As allies who supported the Tudor Empire, Adam, Ammon, and I naturally asked Adam to let us see the second profane tablet."

"And Adam did not refuse my request."

Klein's expression was a little strange. Was it really okay to call Adam's name so recklessly?

"Don't worry."

Mr. Door said casually:

"This space is completely independent of the outside world, and Adam is unaware of everything that happens here."

After a pause, Mr. Door added:

"Yes, as long as He hasn't become a god yet."

In other words, even if He becomes a god, you can't control Him, right? Then how do you know He hasn't become a god yet?

Klein mentally scoffed.

"The second blasphemous tablet is largely the same as the first blasphemous tablet, with only slight differences in the naming of some sequences. Therefore, the focus is only on the part of the secret that the 'Ancient Sun God' glimpsed in his later years."

As Mr. "Door" explained, he waved his hand, and a large amount of text, shimmering like starlight, appeared in mid-air—

It was not any script Klein had ever seen before, but it seemed to be the source of all languages ​​and all scripts, writing one sequence name after another, one potion recipe after another.

Klein's gaze swept quickly across the text, ignoring the earlier parts and looking directly at the last few lines:

God, Creator, Creator, All-Knowing and All-Powerful One, Lord of the Stars:

『混沌海』+『空想家』唯一性+『太阳』唯一性+『暴君』唯一性+『白塔』唯一性+『倒吊人』唯一性+1份『作家』非凡特性+1份『纯白天使』非凡特性+1份『雷神』非凡特性+1份『全知之眼』非凡特性+1份『暗天使』非凡特性。

Lord of Mysteries, King of Time and Space, Beacon of Destiny, Avatar of the Source Castle, Ruler of the Spirit Realm:

'Source Castle' + 'Fool' uniqueness + 'Error' uniqueness + 'Gate' uniqueness + 1 copy of 'Mysterious Servant' extraordinary trait + 1 copy of 'Time Worm' extraordinary trait + 1 copy of 'Star Key' extraordinary trait.

……

After deciphering those words, Klein felt a strange sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and reflection).

The nine primordial elements correspond to the nine ancient beings. The ancient sun god was one of these ancient beings, which explains why his power could overwhelm other true gods...

"The levels above the sequence, Adam called the Old Day, and there are 'God' and 'Lord of Mysteries,' and..."

Mr. Door paused briefly, then spoke:

"And there is the one who controls me, the 'Fallen Mother Goddess.' The three of them stand at the pinnacle of all the Old Ones, which Adam called the 'Three Pillars.' That is to say, of the 'Gate' and the 'Fool,' only one can become the Lord of Mysteries, and only one can ascend the throne of Sequence 0."

"That's why I asked you, between you and him, who will become the 'Lord of Mysteries'?"

As he was pondering, Mr. Door's voice pulled Klein back to reality. The "Guardian Angel" was looking at him with a serious expression.
