After returning to Bayers' home, before Roy and the others could ask anything, Klein pulled over a chair, sat down, and rather piously made a wish to himself: "I wish for my spirituality to be restored."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers with a *crack*, granting his wish and restoring his spirituality to its peak state.
Immediately after, he extended his left hand, preparing to end the maintenance of the historical projection of that "curtain," and then summon a new one to continue sealing the corresponding area of the Spirit World in Beldan, preventing Larion, the Great Chief Pastor of the God of War Church, from having a chance to escape.
"There is no need. If we miss this chance, there will be a next time," Arianna slowly shook her head, signaling Klein not to summon another curtain originating from the Dark Demonic Wolf.
The "Wish" ability has a limitation: a "Miracle Invoker" cannot fulfill multiple similar wishes for the same supplicant in a short period. This meant that for the next hour or two, Klein could not restore his spirituality through this method of self-wishing.
Of course, for a qualified Angel of the "Seer" pathway, this limitation could be circumvented to some extent. For example, he could have Pasha, Roy, Phil, Bayers, and Arianna take turns making a wish for Klein Moretti's spirituality to be restored, and then as a "Miracle Invoker" fulfill their wishes.
But the problem was that even if he could restore his spirituality this many times, he couldn't maintain that "curtain" with a Sequence 1-level status for more than an hour. And "0—02" erasing the rules and writing them anew required an hour of waiting.
Klein considered it for a moment, nodded lightly, and replied with a smile: "Let's give it a try first. It's not like we're busy anyway. We'll give up after the last restoration. Hmm, it all depends on how lucky that Great Chief Pastor is. Maybe He'll lose control from the anxiety, irritation, and tension in the process?"
As he spoke, Klein ceased the maintenance of the original "curtain." His left hand quickly reached forward and pulled out a new "curtain," manifesting it in the Spirit World corresponding to Beldan City.
At that place where the color blocks were rich and overlapping, Larion, dressed in a black robe with a white border and a square hat, had just felt the restriction vanish and was preparing to teleport away when he saw the new "curtain" fall, isolating the area once again.
The slight smile on his face instantly froze.
*Huu...* After a few seconds, Larion slowly exhaled, adjusted his mental state, and continued waiting calmly.
Over the next few tens of minutes, this Great Chief Pastor of the Church of the God of War experienced the frustration and pain of having hope appear only to be extinguished several more times.
He tried to find a pattern, attempting to figure out the corresponding time interval and seize that fleeting moment when the old "curtain" disappeared and the new one had not yet formed, to rush out of the barrier.
However, he eventually discovered that the rule of the time interval was that there was no rule; the blocker did not only restore their spirituality when it was about to run out. Sometimes, they did it much earlier.
If it weren't for the fact that the Feysac nation didn't force its people to convert from the God of War faith, and the order declaring Larion a heretic had not yet been widely disseminated, this Angel on Earth might have already lost control on the spot.
As time ticked by, Larion once again sensed the dissolution of the old "curtain."
However, this time, no new "curtain" was produced.
*He's finally at his limit...* A joy surged in Larion's heart. Without a second thought, he rushed out of the crumbling prototype Divine Kingdom.
The next moment, He saw a headless woman holding four heads with golden hair and red eyes, wearing an ornate and gloomy long dress; saw an unknown entity wrapped in bandages, with yellowish-brown liquid flowing all over its body; saw many bizarre yet exceptionally powerful Spirit World creatures...
The "curtains" Klein had summoned previously were all images from the historical void that had been contaminated by the aura of Sefirah Castle. Naturally, they attracted beings sensitive to this aura. Even if Amon appeared in this group, Klein wouldn't be surprised!
The slight smile on Larion's face froze once again.
…………
Beldan City, inside Bayers' rental apartment.
Klein suddenly raised his head, glanced up into the sky, and muttered to himself: "Not bad, huh..."
He then fell silent again until the "Magic Mirror" emitted a hazy watery glow, reflecting the current state of the bulletin board.
The rules on it were disappearing from the back to the front according to the order they appeared.
This meant that "0—02" had started erasing the previously established rules, preparing to start over.
The moment the "Curfew" rule was abolished, Klein, whose mind was highly focused, immediately grabbed Lady Arianna and used "Flame Jumping" to appear outside the shrunken Beldan City Library.
He looked over and saw that on the brass pages of "0—02", the rules were being erased extremely quickly. In just the blink of an eye, the latter half of the pages only had the clause "the following rules are invalid" remaining.
Immediately after, this clause also disappeared, and a new rule rapidly appeared without any interval: "'The Trunsoest Brass Book' is the most precious object. No living being or thing may touch it without its permission..."
Before this rule had even finished appearing, Arianna's figure had already appeared beside that rectangular table, her finger touching the page made of brass.
With a *crack*, this Chief Ascetic of the Church of the Night suddenly had her neck constricted, as if she were being hung by an invisible rope.
Even as an Angel, She actually suffered a broken bone and had difficulty breathing.
