After becoming a demigod and gaining preliminary control over the Source Castle, Klein had stopped worrying about it leaking its aura into reality and attaching it to him. It would appear abnormal, allowing any Beyonder on the Fate pathway to recognize him at a glance, which was quite unsafe. But now, with a single reminder from
When he was just affiliated with the Source Castle and had limited usage rights, its accompanying aura and projection made a Saint on the Fate pathway dare not look directly at him, and made corresponding Mid- to Low-Sequence Beyonders see him as a mythical creature. Now that he had preliminary control over the Source Castle, he could likely make the "effect" even better… Could this affect an Angel, who is itself a complete mythical creature? The Source Castle's level is at least Sequence 0? Hmm, from what I've deduced, it might even be a bit higher than Sequence 0… Those who learn of it suffer its corruption? Klein's thoughts became lively, flashing through his mind like bolts of lightning.
He quickly decided that after returning to the
A slight smile appeared on his face, and he said to the one-year-old toddler in the black baby carriage: "I think I understand what you mean. I'll have someone send you ice cream soon."
Will Auceptin, wrapped in silver silk, slowly turned his head to the side and said: "No, no need." "I've eaten too much ice cream lately. It's starting to affect my physical development…"
Klein raised an eyebrow. "Authentic, top-grade ice cream from
"…Next week, send it then," Will Auceptin replied after hesitating for a moment.
Having said that, the pudgy one-year-old turned over and buried his face in the little pillow inside the baby carriage.
Since "The Magician" could only maintain the historical void projection for a limited time, Klein didn't say anything else. Relying on his own traits, he forcefully broke free from the dream, woke up, and turned over to get out of bed.
Immediately after, he reached out his right hand and clawed at the air again and again.
After four or five pulls, his arm weighed down as he dragged out a woman wearing a simple linen robe, a bark belt, barefoot, with long black hair and ordinary features.
The leader of the ascetics of the
At the same moment, in a house in Hillston Borough, Fors, who was sitting in an easy chair, seemed pulled by invisible strings. She abruptly sat up straight, her body rigid, veins bulging on her forehead.
She felt her spirituality surge like a breached flood, rushing towards the void before her. She couldn't restrain it at all, and it was about to dry up.
In the next second, this trend eased significantly, but it was still frightening, and not something she could fully bear in her current state.
In the hotel room, seeing that the historical void projection of Lady Arianna had gained consciousness, Klein cut to the chase and spoke directly:
"I plan to cooperate with someone to jointly deal with a certain 'Witch King' of the
Arianna nodded slightly, indicating she understood, but did not offer her own advice.
Seeing that the leader of the ascetics did not issue a warning, Klein felt much more at ease with the plan to hunt the "Witch King," and turned to say:
"I'm about to plan an operation against the Gloomy Wolf
Arianna's mouth slightly opened: "Be cautious."
"… Meaning, don't underestimate the Gloomy Wolf Kotar?" Klein was about to retort, but his consciousness suddenly blurred, and he saw the lady opposite him and himself in her eyes both fade away and disappear swiftly.
Fors collapsed into the easy chair, the muscles in her face twitching slightly. "This is more exhausting than staying up all night writing to meet a deadline…" She grimaced for a while, and then quickly tried to meditate to fall asleep. — In a state of extreme exhaustion, people sometimes suffer from sleep disorders instead.
…
In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, near the northern ruins of the ancient city of Nox, in a dark, uninhabited wilderness.
Klein carried a lantern emitting a dim yellow light, turned around, and confirmed the surrounding situation.
Then, he found a stone to sit on and stopped shielding the "
On this basis, Klein consciously strengthened the projection of the "Source Castle" onto himself.
After finishing his preparations, Klein quickly turned a monster lurking in the surrounding darkness into a puppet.
The puppet walked out of the unlit area, approached Klein in the lantern's glow, and cast its gaze upon him.
In the eyes of the puppet made from this ordinary monster, the Klein wearing a black trench coat and a half-top hat showed no difference from before, except that his eyes had become deeper and his aura harder to describe.
After sequentially having different types of monster puppets try it, Klein confirmed that ordinary people, or the vast majority of Beyonders, could not detect the "Source Castle" aura attached to his body.
