While
This was by no means an act of giving up or surrendering, nor was he too cowardly to instinctively think of evading first. He believed this was the optimal solution under the current circumstances:
If he remained inside the "Sefirah Castle", Klein would face three major difficulties:
First, he had just been promoted to "The Fool", and his condition was extremely unstable. He had to divert most of his mental energy to suppress the awakening will of the "Celestial Worthy". Second, he couldn't get help from his allies and could only fight alone. Third, since everyone could influence the "Sefirah Castle", even if Klein had a deeper control over this Sefirah compared to Amon, he couldn't show an overwhelming advantage. Instead, because Amon excelled at using loopholes and creating "bugs", He would interfere with Klein, making it difficult for him to use the "Sefirah Castle" well, putting them on the same level.
Thus, the Sequence 0 "The Fool", facing a half-mad dual Pathway True God of "Error" and "Door", even if it wasn't a guaranteed failure, the probability of victory was extremely slim.
By seizing the opportunity to leave the "Sefirah Castle", Klein would immediately gain the help of his allies, reversing their situation:
If Amon pursued, Klein would interfere with His return to the "Sefirah Castle", making Him face his allies. At that time, the "
Even though Amon, who held all the authorities of the "Error" and "Door"
Such a process was almost irreversible. Even if the "Ancient Sun God" could still erupt with the same rank, level, and strength as before, it couldn't change this—His limit seemed to be suppressing three orthodox gods simultaneously, and this could not include the "Goddess of the Night".
Of course, the Outer Deities undoubtedly did not want to see a new "
Even if the situation were truly affected by the Outer Deities, Klein would not suffer a great loss. After all, those beings would not allow Amon to kill him. He could calmly find a place to hide, stabilize his mental state, and wait until he was prepared before re-planning. The "Goddess of the Night's" Fog Town was a good choice.
If Amon did not pursue and still stayed inside the "Sefirah Castle", Klein could rely on his identity as the master of the "Sefirah Castle" and his control over everything inside it, making it impossible for Amon to do anything inside the "Sefirah Castle". Even if He wanted to deal with the members of the
In short, whoever among them wanted to make better use of the "Sefirah Castle" would find it very difficult, but ruining the other's attempt was absolutely easy.
In such a stalemate, Klein had plenty of time to stabilize his mental state, deepen his control over the "Sefirah Castle", and gradually turn the situation around.
In the end, Amon would either flee and hide, or let the "Celestial Worthy" completely resurrect, dragging Klein to death with him.
Therefore, although there was no time to analyze too many pros and cons, Klein quickly came to a judgment:
Leaving the "Sefirah Castle" now was the optimal choice.
However, as soon as his consciousness sank to the edge of the "Sefirah Castle", he saw a monocle ground out of crystal.
This object appeared in time, ruining Klein's escape.
"Do you think I would leave such an obvious hole? Of course, you can also prevent me from leaving the 'Sefirah Castle' at any time," Amon laughed, his right index finger bent, pressing against the bottom of the monocle.
Behind the chair He sat on, the symbols outlined by brilliant light changed rapidly, sometimes mixed from the corresponding symbols of parasitism, time, and fate, and sometimes layers upon layers of "doors".
These two different symbols appeared alternately, unable to truly be fixed.
Klein didn't bother listening to what Amon said. As soon as the attempt to escape failed, he created the true "Mysterious World", the complete "Fool" Divine Kingdom.
Before Amon's eyes, the light and shadow instantly changed, bringing the disappearance of the grand palace, the mottled long table, and the gorgeous high-backed chairs, and the appearance of an ancient castle.
Amon didn't know exactly what the ancient castle looked like, because He was standing on a corridor inside the castle, only able to perceive the various changes of the "Sefirah Castle" and see the limited scenery within sight.
This corridor was exceptionally gloomy and dark, with no end in sight on either side. Every so often, a silver, elegant candelabrum stood, its light dim and faint.
On both sides of the corridor were one tightly shut dark red wooden door after another, seemingly connecting to different rooms.
And all the rooms were completely silent, hiding who knows what.
Amon casually swept a glance and chuckled with great interest:
"A bit interesting."
As the most powerful "Decryption Scholar", He naturally knew that this was a Divine Kingdom, and a type of Divine Kingdom that couldn't be broken with brute force.
This was because each door was "recombined" with a different thing. Forcing it open would trigger unknown effects—Amon would not underestimate the ability and intelligence of a Sequence 0 "The Fool", and did not plan to experience multiple surprises and accidents just because of this.
However, once the rules of the Divine Kingdom were fixed, the master of the Divine Kingdom would also be restricted to a certain extent.
Simply put, Klein must be in one of the rooms at this moment, nowhere else.
To gain a benefit, one must bear the corresponding responsibility.
"Trying to buy time this way to stabilize his mental state?" Amon muttered, as if speaking to no one in particular.
Then, wearing a pointed soft hat and a classical black robe, He walked to the nearest dark red wooden door.
There was no hole in the wooden door, making it impossible to see the specific situation inside.
In other words, without opening the door, it was hard for Amon to know if Klein was in there.
