Upon hearing Hermousin's answer, Klein couldn't help but twitch his mouth, almost stunned in place.
"My enemies aren't in Bayam... If you die at the door of the 'Sea King', it won't be much use..." He took a slow breath, stopped the previous topic, and asked instead: "Hermousin, no, Mr. Hillary, why exactly did you notice me?"
And you even came to warn me right before your death!
This was also his doubt about the "Magic Mirror" Arodus and messenger Miss Reinette Tinechor, but he hadn't had a good chance to ask.
Hermousin was silent behind the door for two seconds, then said with a smile in his voice: "Certain traits of yours are not a secret in the eyes of a few special, high-level Spirit World beings. As long as they have been in close contact, they can discover them. After all, the
Gray Fog... Although the "Orange Light's" statement was almost the same as Arodus's flattery, it specifically pointed out the Gray Fog. This is the first time I've encountered someone directly pointing this out to my face! So that mysterious space is the divine kingdom left by the great ruler above the Spirit World? What Pathway's Sequence 0 is that? The gods who can discover my Gray Fog blessing include the "Tree of Desire." Is that why He targets me? Klein's thoughts churned like boiling water.
He was about to speak, but Hermousin continued: "In the 'Yellow Light's' prophecy, the great ruler above the Spirit World is one of the variables of the apocalypse. But I can't be sure you are equal to Him. There are too many possibilities that could give you that trait—for example, His favored, His child, His chosen divine messenger. But that doesn't stop me from expressing friendliness.
"Cough, do you know the
I see... If there weren't a transmigrator related to the Gray Fog like Emperor Roselle before me, if I hadn't divined my origins in that mysterious space, gotten a clear picture of Earth, and recalled more memories, I might suspect I'm the reincarnation of the great ruler above the Spirit World... From my overall experience, I'm closer to being a chosen divine messenger along with Emperor Roselle... Could the great ruler above the Spirit World be Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun? Klein couldn't help but generate various speculations, his mind a tangled mess like a ball of yarn played with by a cat.
He calmed down and said:
"Is there a way to conceal that trait?"
"Become a demigod." Just after answering, Hermousin suddenly coughed twice and said, "Do you mind if I die at your door?"
"...I do." Klein didn't want to be noticed by demigods like the "Sea King" Yann Kottman and Admiral
Hermousin didn't respond and walked toward the stairway with heavy steps.
Listening to the sound of descending stairs, Klein withdrew his attention and suddenly came up with a speculation about why Emperor Roselle could discover the Gray Fog but couldn't enter it: "He reconstructed the silver plaque that caused his transmigration long after becoming a Beyonder, while I was an ordinary person when I retried the transportation ritual. Also, Emperor Roselle chose the 'Savant' pathway, while I am a 'Seer'. The power of the mysterious space above the Gray Fog clearly provides great assistance to divination. "Therefore, the prerequisites for entering above the Gray Fog on one's own are being an ordinary person or a Beyonder of the 'Seer' pathway, and mastering the corresponding incantations, rituals, and symbols. The Emperor experimented too late and chose the wrong pathway, so naturally he couldn't enter. "Based on the fact that 'Seer', 'Apprentice', and 'Thief' are similar pathways, the latter two seem also possible. Could this be the deeper reason the Emperor lamented in his diary that he should have chosen one of them? These three pathways not only lack Sequence 0, thus avoiding influence from the top, but also contain the key to entering the Gray Fog?"
As his thoughts churned, Klein temporarily set aside this unverifiable matter and considered the warning of "Orange Light" Hillary: Beware of the "Tree of Desire"!
Because of the incident with Admiral Emilius, Klein was very wary of the "Tree of Desire". He had to change identities and lie low for two months by using acting opportunities. Later, he became even less willing to provoke the "Blood Admiral" and others from the Rose School of thought, afraid of falling into a trap.
When it comes to a potential, great danger, a normal human's first thought is certainly to eliminate it. Klein was no exception, but the problem was, he had no way. The "Tree of Desire" is suspected to be a Sequence 0 true god, located in the Astral World. Even if Klein jumped, he couldn't reach Him or defeat Him. Moreover, the Rose School of thought under His control is an organization with a long history, likely with an Angel and Grade 0 sealed artifacts. Otherwise, it would be hard for them to survive to this day under the hostility of all churches and secret organizations. Thus, even if Klein sought help from friendly big shots like Mr. Azik, he couldn't uproot the Rose School of thought, and might even encounter danger.
