Chapter 1379: Change of Plans

October 21, 2021 · 6 min read · 1,111 words

The monocles on the faces of the various "forms" of simultaneously emitted a pure, brilliant light.

This was an "Eternal Daylight" effect they had stolen from deep within the ruins of the god war, originating from the . It could purify filth and aberrant beings, awakening sleeping creatures.

They "gave" this gift to Klein.

Combined with the authority of the "Apprentice" pathway that allowed manipulation of seal strength, this was enough to break the state of eternal sleep.

In an instant, the spiritual imprint of and the will of the "" within Klein fully awakened. Feelings of madness, primeval vastness, cruelty, bloodlust, and coldness ravaged Klein's mind like an invisible storm.

Almost simultaneously, within the "Fool" Uniqueness covering his face, which he had not yet fully accommodated, the powerful will of the "Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings" suddenly "opened its eyes"—like a terrifying monster that had slumbered in the darkness for a thousand years.

At this moment, the earlier chaos and loss of control surged back, but Klein didn't panic. Following a backup plan, he calmly used his "Grafting" ability to steer the spiritual imprint of Antigonus towards the "Celestial Worthy's" will inside the "Fool" Uniqueness, causing them—which had been entangled for a millennium or two—to collide again.

On the other side, relying on his self-awareness and the anchors from the believers of "The Fool" and the "Sea God", Klein actively balanced the part of the "Celestial Worthy's" will contained within the Beyonder characteristics in his body, just like when he had separated the "Mysterious Servant" marionette.

If nothing unexpected happened, developing things this way, Klein had a certain probability of achieving balance on both sides, completely accommodating the "Fool" Uniqueness, and entering the final stage of the ritual. However, surrounded by the Amons, how could there be no unexpected events?

While some Amons strengthened the seals on the "" and the "Genie Lamp", resisting the restrictions of the former's rules, and other Amons gave the "Eternal Daylight" to Klein, a small portion locked onto Klein and carried out a "Steal".

What they wanted to steal was the clarity of his thoughts.

One after another, the Amons failed, but in the end, several succeeded. They "stole" the clarity of Klein's self-awareness for the next two seconds.

Klein's thoughts immediately blurred. The spiritual imprint of Antigonus, the two parts of the "Celestial Worthy's" will, and the anchors from the believers lost his guidance and immediately fell into imbalance, frenziedly eroding, influencing, and polluting each other.

Everything became extremely chaotic. Loss of control seemed irreversible.

Klein's body began to break down inch by inch, turning into masses of transparent, twisted worms, and extending more slick, aberrant tentacles.

At this moment, the rules on the "Trunsoest Brass Book" were erased, and it began to write anew: "No speaking allowed here!"

"No attacking each other here!"

Immediately after, in front of these two rules, familiar clauses appeared again: "The following rules are invalid."

After the seal was strengthened, the "Trunsoest Brass Book" seemed to have entered a new cycle, and the influence the "Genie" could exert became quite limited.

Klein's consciousness quickly regained its clarity, but the situation inside his body was completely chaotic and out of control.

This made him completely unable to sort out the different influences, powerless to find a new balance.

In other words, he would rush down the path of loss of control until he turned into a monster.

With almost no time to think, Klein relied on instinct and experience to make the decision to activate the very last contingency plan.

He instantly gave up trying to salvage the state inside his body, no longer distracting himself with this matter.

Not only that, Klein also made the "Mysterious Servant" marionette actively transform into a vortex of worms, carrying the spiritual imprint of , throw itself into his main body, and merge into it.

He wanted to add chaos to the chaos!

However, Amon's avatars would not let him make any attempts. Apart from the Amons opposing the "Genie Lamp" and the "Trunsoest Brass Book", the rest once again began to "steal", aiming to plunge Klein's thoughts into chaos again and again until loss of control completely arrived.

The Amon in the postman's uniform succeeded. However, what He "stole" was not Klein's clarity, but a drop of living blood.

This blood immediately seeped into the palm of the postman Amon.

Immediately after, the postman Amon's eyes were stained with a layer of crimson, and his belly bulged at an unimaginable speed, twitching.

He seemed to have become pregnant with a child!

What He had just "stolen" was the "Original Moon", which was blood blessed by the ""!

After Klein stopped placing most of his consciousness on balancing the spiritual imprint of Antigonus, the reviving will of the "Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings", and the anchors inside his body, he no longer needed to passively endure like before. He could barely make a certain response to Amon's "stealing".

Using "Grafting", he tampered with the target of that portion of Amon's "steal", redirecting it to the inside of the Sefirah Castle, to a pile of junk, to that drop of blood blessed by the "Original Moon".

—This came from Karmal the "Witch King".

Undoubtedly, there is a certain connection between Amon's avatars, and none of their statuses could reach Sequence 0. Therefore, when the postman Amon was contaminated by that drop of blood, the other Amons also fell into a certain chaos. Some had their bellies bulge, some had their eyes stained crimson, some held invisible babies and spun in place…

This caused the rest of the "steals" to inevitably fail.

Seizing this opportunity, relying on a clarity that could not be maintained for long, Klein mobilized the power of the "Sefirah Castle", causing the entire ancient palace to be covered by a shadow-like curtain.

This place was once again concealed.

Then, ignoring the spiritual imprint of Antigonus, the spiritual imprint of Zaratul, and the two parts of the "Celestial Worthy's" will that had begun to merge within his body, he made the avatar standing not far away, which had not yet begun to collapse and had a blank face, reach out its hand to the main body.

Its five fingers quickly closed, and its wrist quickly twisted once.

Because Klein's self-awareness did not resist, and was even actively cooperating, the avatar, with the help of the "Sefirah Castle", succeeded in stealing the self-awareness, fate, anchors, and most of the identity from the main body after only a few failures.
