Xio, The Justiciar, was both excited and anxious about what her mission would be.

She was excited because she had chosen to accept Mr. Fool's gift and would inevitably have to pay a corresponding price. Knowing the task early could prevent the anxiety caused by the unknown, and the intense fear that grew from such anxiety. She was anxious because she knew the reward she received was far too generous, making her believe the final task would not be simple and would certainly be filled with danger.

At this moment, after hearing Mr. Fool's words, her heart finally settled back into place, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Investigating the whereabouts of the three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics and the corresponding Uniqueness of the Red Priest pathway, and even confirming the current state of the , was indeed very dangerous. It was the kind of task where a single slip could get one contaminated, leading to a terrifying mutation. But it was far better than having to seize the Uniqueness and Sequence 1 characteristics, directly confronting the Primordial Demoness.

If it were the latter, even with the support of official forces, Xio did not think she could accomplish it. She would have to write her last will and be ready to sacrifice herself at any time. But if it was just the former, some clues could be obtained in a more roundabout and indirect way, without having to encounter powerful high-sequence existences. As a Sequence 4 demigod, Xio believed she had a certain chance of succeeding.

Without hesitation, she immediately replied: "Yes, Mr. Fool."

The Fool, Klein, originally planned to look to the other side, but after considering for a moment, he added: "Beware of Banshee."

Before the other members of the could ruminate on this, Klein said to The Star, Leonard: "Your task is similar to the Moon's. While besieging the Rose School, collect any blessings, auras, or items given by the from their members. This is equally dangerous."

He only gave this one warning, not speaking as much as he had when giving the Moon, Emlyn, his task.

This was because a senior Angel of the Marauder pathway was 'parasitizing' Leonard. 'He' knew many secrets and understood how dangerous the Outer Deities were, so 'He' wouldn't let Leonard act recklessly.

Seeing that Leonard was about to nod, The Fool, Klein, maintained his previous tone and continued: "Regarding spreading my name, you don't need to do much, or you can simply not do it."

As one of the twenty-two most powerful high-ranking members of the , and one of the few Senior Deacons among the Nighthawks, if Leonard were to privately spread the faith of 'The Fool', it could easily cause problems, lead to misunderstandings with his colleagues, and create unnecessary conflict.

But strangely enough, in Klein's eyes, it seemed that the Moon, Emlyn, wouldn't be misunderstood if he did the same. To the people and blood relatives around him, nothing he did seemed too strange.

Indeed... The Star, Leonard, had already recovered from his earlier eagerness and recognized the harsh reality.

However, he still wanted to do something.

At this moment, The Fool, Klein, added: "You can focus on spreading the World's deeds, in the form of poetry."

Poetry creation... The Star, Leonard, instinctively furrowed his brows and could not immediately respond to Mr. Fool.

Klein then turned and said: "Aside from these, strive to raise your own Sequence and prepare for the apocalypse." "The reward for all these tasks is one wish."

Although when the fell, many Beyonder characteristics fell into the real world, bringing with them a series of supernatural creatures, mutated monsters, and anomalous lands. Klein didn't know how many Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of the Warrior pathway the Goddess of the Night obtained besides the Uniqueness of Twilight. But at least this gave some Sequence 2 Angels of the Church of the Goddess of the Night the possibility to switch pathways and become Sequence 1. At the same time, if they had obtained extra characteristics, 'She' could transfer to the corresponding sequences of the Death pathway. This would open promotion channels for the Saints, and not just the channels of one pathway. Of course, not every Sequence 3 Saint wished to become an Angel, but Leonard was currently only a Sequence 4 'Watchman', and if the corresponding Sequence 3 'Bishop of Fear' position was limited, he could consider the 'Silver Knight' and the 'Ferryman' — Klein already had a copy of the former's characteristic.

The Star, Leonard, was silent for two seconds, then slowly let out a breath and said: "Yes, Mr. Fool."

The Fool, Klein, then turned his gaze to The Justice, Miss Audrey, who had been waiting.

"Aside from spreading my name, you have two tasks. The first is to assist the Justiciar in investigating the whereabouts of the Red Priest pathway's Uniqueness and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, and to confirm the current state of the Primordial Demoness. The second is to make an effort to raise your own Sequence."

One of the tasks is to raise my Sequence... The Justice, Audrey, found this task a bit confusing.

In her opinion, it was like telling an ordinary person: your task is to make more money.

Moreover, this didn't seem to bring much value to Mr. Fool. Could it be that she needed to treat The World? Just as this thought flashed through Audrey's mind, The Fool, Klein, supplemented: "The higher your Sequence, the greater your chance to awaken The World." "In this regard, you can seek help from external forces. The Psychological Alchemy Society, reestablished by , is one option, but you need to be cautious and vigilant." "For this, you must pay a certain price." "You can also give up the reward you received before. This depends solely on your will and thoughts."

The Justice, Audrey, no longer had any doubts. She was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Fool."

The Fool, Klein's gaze fell upon The Hanged Man, Alger's face: "Wait for a while, and you will know what your task is."

Klein had already foreseen the corresponding scene.

Before Alger could speak, he continued: "You may bring the , but during this time, all the prayers of the sea god's followers will be redirected to The Sun and directly to me."

The Hanged Man, Alger, although unable to accurately guess what his task was, already had a vague premonition. After a moment of deliberation, he replied respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Fool."
