Volume 7: The Hanged Man Chapter 32: “Crazy”
Amon and the strange light door were “grafted” together.
K’s face immediately appeared a distortion that was hard to hide, and the darkness in his eyes was obviously aggravated.
At the same time, k classical black robe under the leap out more slippery tentacles, crazy feeling overflowing.
Just as Klein was about to cut off the connection between Amon and the “Source Castle”, allowing K to maintain the current level of madness, the corner of Amon’s mouth curled up.
It was as if to say:
”Congratulations, stepping into a trap.”
K’s face was instantly covered with a translucent mask that was close to the uniqueness of the Fool, but more illusory.
Kraven’s spirit tightened, and without thinking, he was immediately about to use the “Fool” power again, regardless of the consequences.
But before he could react, his thoughts stagnated and he was in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do.
”Fooling”!
Amon had actually used the brief “reorganization” between himself and the “Source Castle” to get rid of Klein’s interference and mobilize the power of the “Fool” domain.
Such behavior was completely beyond instinct, more like a carefully designed trap.
Amon wasn’t crazy enough!
This “error” and “door” dual pathway of the true god immediately lifted its “graft” with the “source of the fortress”, letting the “fortress”, which was stained with a little bit of green, to be “grafted” with the “source of the fortress”. Let the strange light door stained with a bit of green and black quickly fade, disappeared, so as not to be further contaminated.
After dealing with this hidden danger, Amon raised his hands, thumb to thumb, forefinger to forefinger, and circled an ellipse.
In the middle of the ellipse, the starlight lit up, just enough to encompass Klein’s figure in its entirety.
Immediately afterward, Amon’s hands snapped apart to the sides, as if he were tearing at something so much that it seemed a little heavy.
In a paper-shattering, piercing sound, the area where Klein’s body was located seemed to have turned into glass, with countless cracks appearing and breaking aPart 1nch by inch, piece by piece, in the strong blow.
This was a kind of spatial degradation and destruction that Klein’s body was simply incapable of withstanding, and could only be transformed into flying confetti over and over again as the surrounding void collapsed and shattered, and these confetti were always instantly engulfed by the spectral blackness.
By the time the collapse of space stopped, Klein’s paper man was basically exhausted.
Of course, he also relied on his “Fool” personality and traits to forcefully get rid of the “blind fool” effect.
At this time, Amon had already split into countless figures, some of which were purely doppelgangers, some of which were symbolic copies, and some of which were remnants left behind by his constant “flashes” and actions.
At this moment, the sky above Klein’s head and the surrounding wilderness were filled with Amon, densely packed with K’s wearing pointy fedora hats and monocles, blocking every loophole.
Some of these Amon transformed into mottled ancient green and black wall clocks, some turned into pure starlight, as if they were trying to shape a cage, some stretched out their palms and did different levels of “stealing”, some monocles glowed and used multiple things they had stolen, some simulated various abilities, or restricted, or interfered, or Attack.
–In the “Stealer” path, “Stealing” is the core skill, one of the main symbols, and it is similar to the “Diviner”‘s “Spirit”. “It differs from the Diviner’s “Psychic Thread” maneuver in that it not only increases in effectiveness and efficiency as the sequence progresses, but also gains conceptual depth:
In Sequence 9 through Sequence 7, the “theft” is of objects; in Sequence 6, the “theft” is of extraordinary abilities; in Sequence 5, the “theft” is of thoughts and ideas; in Sequence 4 and Sequence 3, the “theft” is of ideas and thoughts; and in Sequence 4 and Sequence 3, the “theft” is of ideas and thoughts. Sequence 4 and Sequence 3, “stealing” is life, including parasitic stealing at the physical level, and with Sequence 2, “stealing” can be expanded to include destiny, identity, self-knowledge, and extraordinary traits, and as for Sequence 1, even time, anchors, and authority can be briefly “stolen”. Even time, anchors, and authority can be briefly “stolen”.
Therefore, when the “error” faces the true God, it will also use the “theft” that has risen to the level of authority.
At the same time, the ancient wall clocks stopped for a moment.
This brought about a solidification of the surroundings, making the wilderness, which had been shattered by the impact of the “star”, extremely quiet, and even the destruction was frozen.
In this moment, Klein seemed to have lost his body, leaving only a translucent, dark-colored cloak and a strange, cold mask.
Underneath the cloak and mask, the darkness was so thick that nothing could be seen, only one slippery and evil tentacle after another was stretched out.
It was as if Klein in such a state had escaped the limitations of time, bobbing like a swimming fish in the frozen environment, burrowing out of the Amon’s encirclement through various gaps, real or conceptual.
Once again, he used the power of “fooling”.
This time, he “fooled” time.
The ancient wall clocks disappeared, and the flow of time resumed in the almost completely collapsed wilderness. The Amon stopped their attempts, and suddenly gathered as one, “flashing” behind Kraven, leaving him no chance to catch his breath.
K’s left palm came out, and as he retracted his arm, he clenched his fingers.
Around Kraven, the space was suddenly covered with shadows, becoming like a layer of tulle.
These “veils” twisted and reassembled, seemingly forming a strong enough cage to trap Kraven inside.
Above the cage, an illusory door protruded and traveled rapidly, refusing to be fixed.
However, Kraven’s figure appeared outside the cage as if it had never been sealed by Amon with the authority of the Gate.
He “fooled” history, dividing himself from his former self and his latter self.
Thus, the one who was imprisoned in the cage became his historical projection.
This is the deepening of the ability of the “ancient scholar” under the authority of “deception.
Because he relied on “fooling” history as a promotion ritual, Kraven, the “Fool”, was stronger than “fooling” time in a similar field, “Fooling” fate.
As soon as he got out of the spatial cage, Kraven immediately had to use the “Mysterious Realm” again to create a new “Fool” God’s Kingdom, so as to stall for time and find a chance to stabilize his mental state – he had just used the “Mysterious Realm” several times in a row to create a new “Fool” God’s Kingdom. He had just used the “Fool” authority several times in a row, and the fragile balance in his body was on the verge of being shaken, if he didn’t stabilize his mental state as soon as possible, the will of the “Heavenly Father” would awaken even further.
This is also a serious problem.
At that moment, a huge, crystal-ground monocle appeared in front of his eyes.
On this monocle, layers of sparkling waves of light surged out crazily, instantly drowning him.
Klein’s mental state suddenly stabilized, but at the cost of losing different emotions and all kinds of desires, he didn’t even want to do anything to resist, and only wished to stand so still, waiting for the destruction to come.
It was like a normal person being injected with a large dose of tranquilizer.
At the same time, an illusory booklet protruded from the layers of wave light.
This tome was spread out, revealing a passage:
”Klein Moretti has suffered from the mental contamination of the ‘Lord of Secrecy’ and has been in pain and very tired. After a fierce battle, he who was affected by the psychic level finally reached his limit and decided to give up and stop resisting.”
Behind that huge, crystal ground monocle, Amon, who wore a pointed fedora and classical black robes, flew outlined like a mountain peak.
K looked at Klein, who had given up resisting, his eyes darkening to a lighter shade, the corners of his mouth quirking up slightly:
”I stole it. How does it feel?”
Klein looked up at this Mr. Wrong and struggled for a moment before opening his mouth, speaking breathlessly:
”You, a fraud from the beginning?”
Amon lifted his hands and held in a smile:
”Unfortunately, you understand too late.”
He circled an ellipse with thumb to thumb and index finger to index finger.
In the middle of the ellipse, the starlight lit up, reflecting Klein’s figure.
Immediately afterward, Amon’s hands parted heavily, tearing up the void upon which Klein and his surroundings rested.
The void was like glass, cracking piece by piece, shattering inch by inch, and collapsing up like the destruction of a tall building.
However, all of this collapse, all of this destruction, all of it circled around Klein’s body, not directly affecting him.
He was like a small fishing boat sailing peacefully in the middle of a storm, looking so abrupt, so incongruous, as if he shouldn’t belong here.
Amon raised his hand to square the monocle that was clamped to the socket of his right eye, and the smile on his face vaguely faded a little.
On the translucent cloak on Klein’s body surface, dense bumps constantly arose and subsided and disappeared.
His eyes seemed to darken a bit as he looked at the mountainous Amon:
”From the moment you entered the ‘Source Castle’ and uttered the first word, you started the fraud.”
At that time, Amon said that he had taken the risk of letting go of the suppression of the will of the “Lord of Secrecy” in his body, in exchange for the identity of the master of the “Source Castle”.
At this moment, Amon didn’t seize the opportunity to continue attacking Kraven, and K floated in mid-air, looking down on this “fool”.
Klein also did not try anything else, his tone was strangely calm, as if he was brewing something:
”If you release the suppression of the will of the ‘Lord of Mystery’, you can enter the ‘Fortress of Source’ at the cost of half-madness, Antigonus could do it back then, and so could the earlier ‘Destructive Demon Wolf’ Friggara. ‘ Fregla could do it as well, and you and Mr. ‘Gate’ before you had the same myriad of opportunities.”
”Obviously, there is no way to invade the ‘Source Castle’ by simply reviving the ‘Lord of Mystery’ to a certain extent, with half-madness in conjunction with ‘Mistake’, and you There’s no way to find a ‘bug’ that can be utilized in this matter, unless, of course, you simply have k replace you.”
”It wasn’t until you possessed the ‘door’ authority to enter anywhere that you saw hope: by creating a backdoor and utilizing the ‘bug’, you made the ‘Source Fortress ‘ treat you as the ‘Lord of Secrecy’ and give you access.”
”Of course, this would certainly require reviving the ‘Lord of Secrecy’ to a rather dangerous degree, and without that hidden identity, you wouldn’t be able to defraud the ‘Source Fortress’ out of thin air.”
”The reason you didn’t immediately infiltrate the ‘Source Castle’ after accommodating the uniqueness of the ‘Gate’ and deal with me, who was even weaker at the time, is because at that time, you, who had just been promoted, were completely incapable of withstanding the ‘ Lord of Mysteries’ will’s further awakening.”
”I think you should have already found a relatively safer way, if I hadn’t been promoted to ‘Fool’ so quickly, for a while longer, you would have been able to enter the ‘Source Castle’ in the best possible condition and solve everything, and now, you had to bring this plan forward, there must be some very serious problems with you.”
”You took the initiative to throw out the price of being half-crazy, on the one hand, you are inducing me to think of countermeasures towards this point, and planting deadly traps in key places, and on the other hand, you are also diverting attention, using this to cover up other problems.”
”You’re not half crazy at all.”
Amon quietly listened to Klein finish, rather counterintuitively not interrupting in the middle or attempting to attack, and waited until the other party had finished before K spoke with a slightly odd expression:
”You’re crazy.”
