On the boundless gray-white fog, Klein's figure appeared in the ancient palace.

He simply glanced around and noticed several differences.

Among them, the most obvious was that the state and layout of this mystical space were completely projected into his spiritual body, allowing him to see the gray-white mist condensed in midair and that strange light door even from far away.

"Other than this palace I manifested and the light door that originally existed, there is nothing here. Empty, boundless, filled with high-level power..." Klein murmured as he sat down, raised his right hand, and lightly lifted it upward.

In an instant, the entire gray fog seethed, and the mystical space it bore trembled subtly, emitting dim radiances one after another.

These radiances gathered together and, according to Klein's will, condensed into a translucent angel with illusory wings on its back, an angel with corresponding rank and power, majestic, holy, and imposing.

"Without needing the 'Black Emperor' card, the 'Tyrant' card, or the 'Red Priest' card, and without resorting to the 'Sea God's Scepter,' using only myself, I can leverage the power of this mystic space to its maximum extent, making the 'Fool's' angel a true Sequence 2 angel. Of course, this angel cannot respond to prayers, cannot last long, only exists in an 'embrace' and for a few attacks, possessing some abilities in the domain of 'Miracle'...

"As expected, my ability to revive is a gift from the 'Sefirah Castle.' How many more times I can revive is inconclusive now. If I could obtain a Grade 0 sealed artifact and observe its nature, I could see clearly... I'll assume I have only one more revival at most. It's better to underestimate than overestimate; this reminds me to be cautious and careful... This is the survival way for a Beyonder on the 'Seer' pathway...

"Unfortunately, this kind of 'Miracle' can only be applied to myself for now...

"Hmm, to the maximum extent means for now. To truly possess and control this mystic space, I must at least become an angel, even a Sequence 1 angel. As expected of the 'Sefirah Castle.' As for that strange light door, the requirements might be even higher, and I can't currently tell if there's any hidden danger...

"What is the purpose of the 'Sefirah Castle'? To 'fish' for transmigrators and revive that original Creator?" Klein flicked his right hand, causing the sacred and powerful angel to dissipate in midair.

The entire "Sefirah Castle" calmed down.

Then Klein stood up, took a single step onto the gray-white mist condensed in midair, and stood before the strange light door formed by countless light balls.

The light door was stained with a hint of cyan-black, and the essence of each light ball was a cluster of transparent and translucent worms coiled together.

Gazing at those transparent "cocoons" suspended by thin black threads, Klein extended his right hand slowly toward the light door, attempting to touch it.

An inch, two inches, three inches. His hand finally reached the edge of the light door, but passed through it, as if it were only a phantom.

However, compared to previous attempts, the illusory light door was noticeably more viscous, as if it were about to gain substance.

"Is this an object representing the essence of the 'Sefirah Castle'?" Klein pondered for a few seconds, then turned back to the ancient palace.

Without delay, he left the gray fog and began to experiment with his various newly acquired abilities.

"First, I need to formulate an honorific name... A Sequence 3 can receive prayers and respond within a range covering a region, which varies depending on their authority. Obviously, the 'Sea King' type has a larger territory... So, my honorific name must also have a range limitation. 'Protector of all poor children in '? That feels weird...

"Well, others might need such a limitation, but I might not. I can use 'Blessed of the Spirit World and Sefirah Castle' instead. The only one who is a Blessed of both places is me for now, unique enough. As such, anyone in the same city or region as me can pray to me using this honorific name.

"If they are not in the same region, there's no way. I can't just send a few 'Spirit ' onto the gray fog like I did with the 'Sea God's Scepter' and use the 'Sefirah Castle's' authority to respond worldwide... Although I still can't confirm the relationship between the 'Dark Angel' and the , this is enough to warn me to be careful with my avatars and puppets. And it's not about sending a few; I would have to keep most of the 'Spirit Worms' in the 'Sefirah Castle' to achieve that effect, and I don't have that ability...

"By the way, my mental state is pretty good. No split personality, no uncontrollable coldness and horror. This indicates that the 'Ancient Scholar's' imprints in history are his anchors... Also, the Great Emperor only became an angel before this condition became serious, forcing him to rely on believers as anchors for positioning. I still have a major rank to go... I need to find out besides believers, what else can serve as anchors, just in case..." Amid his thoughts, Klein took out paper and a pen.

He then wrote down the first segment of his honorific name: "Blessed of the Spirit World and Sefirah Castle."

After a moment of thought, based on his rich experience and knowledge fed back by the divine markings, he began to write the second and third segments: "Mystery that originates from ancient times; "Witness of a long history."

Since Sequence 3 is not a True God, he couldn't use a three-segment description, so Klein considered and added two more lines: "Patron of magic and theatrical performance; "The Great Gehrman Sparrow."

Actually, non-True can also use a three-segment description, but one segment must utilize the authority of a True God. For example, Klein could use "Blessed of the Goddess of the Night"—in that case, it's essentially more of a summoning incantation rather than a prayer honorific, similar to a messenger. And if the messenger is a Spirit World creature, not even the restriction of which True God's blessed is needed. Therefore, what is summoned is often unknown and quite dangerous.

After careful consideration, Klein manipulated his puppet Enyuni to recite the honorific name he just wrote in Ancient .

A few seconds later, Klein raised his right hand and rubbed his forehead, with a rather strange expression.

He did not "hear" any prayer.
