"..." Klein once again understood why
At this moment, he didn't even have the desire to complain; he just wanted to immediately stop maintaining his projection from a historical crevice and get rid of the Amon before him — no, the Amons.
The parasitized charred corpse wiped the soot off its face and said with a smile before Klein disappeared:
"Don't rush. You're only a projection from a historical crevice; I can't truly parasitize you. And you should know very well that I'm not alone, so you can't effectively fight back."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Klein, holding the simple kerosene lamp, thought in silence for a moment, then picked up a piece of statue fragment that was black on the outside and red on the inside, and asked cautiously.
At that moment, Amon had already changed into his own appearance, the only issue being that his skin was still rather dark.
He adjusted his crystal monocle and chuckled:
"You know that I know you're looking for that Dark Demon Wolf, trying to obtain a portion of 'Miracle Worker' Beyonder characteristic from It. And I'm very interested in that too. How about this: let's play another game, and see who can get it first."
What's the point of that? If we don't play this game, won't I still pursue it, and won't you still try to snatch it? Klein was calm for two seconds, then shook his head:
"I refuse."
He had no intention of listening to what conditions Amon might propose; the more you listen to a top-tier deceiver, the more you lose.
Amon shook his head with no trace of anger, smiling:
"You'll regret this. Originally, I planned that if I won, I'd exchange a 'Miracle Worker' Beyonder characteristic plus a 'Mystery Attendant' Beyonder characteristic for your Sefirah Castle, and give you time to relocate the secret gathering your organization holds.
"But now, I can only consider directly stealing your fate and bearing the erosion from the Source. Alright, it's dangerous, but also exciting enough. I'm ready to accept it and see who ends up as the dominator. With my father's experience, I don't think I'll do too badly."
...What? Erosion from the Source? The experience of the
He recalled Amon's description and couldn't help asking:
"Does the Source refer to the first Creator?"
He urgently wanted to know what unbearable fate Sefirah Castle would bring him.
Amon pinched the top and bottom edges of his monocle, looked at Klein for a few seconds, and then suddenly smiled:
"Better I don't answer that directly, because you wouldn't believe a single word I say."
Go on, say it — I can judge truth from falsehood myself! Klein suppressed the urge to blurt out and responded calmly:
"Maybe you just haven't made up a reason yet."
Amon smiled, not minding at all:
"You can think that if you like.
"Heh, sometimes, the truth you discover yourself is far more convincing than what others tell you. If you have time, you can wander around the Abandoned Land of the
...Klein didn't press further. After gazing for a while at the collapsed church bathed in dim yellow light, he said casually:
"So the Dark Demon Wolf moved hastily because it discovered your presence?"
Amon nodded slightly:
"Not just me. It also sensed the gaze of the Hanged Man. It's been hiding in the Abandoned Land of the Gods for thousands of years and is very sensitive to such things."
An Angel of Sequence 2, or even Sequence 1, could only skulk and live a miserable existence in the Abandoned Land of the Gods. The environment here is too harsh, isn't it? Klein sighed inwardly with idioms, then said:
"Surely you left more than one avatar in the
"Why not send a stronger avatar?"
Amon pressed his right index finger against the lower edge of his monocle and laughed:
"Because that would cause you to choose to resurrect outside, which would cause me considerable trouble in tracking you later.
"And if I — or we — let up, since the 'Miracle Worker' Beyonder characteristic exists in the Abandoned Land of the Gods, you'd most likely resurrect here. In the ensuing game, the only surprises we'd need to consider are the Hanged Man, Urolius, and Them."
Just as I thought... Klein said thoughtfully:
"Even in the same area, as long as the distance is beyond a certain point, your main body and avatars can't instantly merge or swap positions, right?"
