Volume 7: The Hanged Man Chapter 5: Conversation
The projection of the “Goddess of Night” said in a calm tone:
”We can’t defeat or stop k or the k’s, we can only fight and suppress them.”
Perhaps at some point, just a small negligence or a very light degree of laxity, we will become k …… On the extraordinary road, danger is always accompanied by, do not know when it will slide into the abyss …… Klein silently for the “night goddess” added two words Goddess” added two sentences.
He thought for a moment and opened his mouth to ask:
”When I was born, did you interfere in some way?”
The projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” that seemed to be blending into its surroundings nodded slightly and said:
”I utilized the uniqueness of Antigonus to indirectly influence the ‘Source Fortress’, ‘tampering’ with the corresponding location of the extraordinary characteristics that accompanied your birth to the Land of Divine Abandonment.”
Sure enough …… Klein sighed darkly and frowned slightly:
”The uniqueness of Antigonus can indirectly affect the ‘Source Fortress’?”
The projected voice of the “Goddess of the Night” replied softly like a nocturne:
”K is out of control and mad.”
”This also means that k’s self-awareness can no longer suppress the will of the ‘Lord of Secrecy’ within his body, and the two spirits are sewn together, embodying the most primitive, most instinctive, and also the bloodiest and craziest side.”
”And that ‘Mysterious Lord’ was the former owner of the ‘Source Castle’, and the current Antigonus can naturally influence the ‘Source Castle’ indirectly through this identity. ‘.”
No wonder the “Goddess of the Night” knows more about the “Source Castle” and the strange door of light than Rossel the Great, on the one hand, she herself descended from the “Source Castle”, and on the other hand, she has imprisoned the out-of-control Crazy Antigonus …… Klein listened to some dawning realization and continued to ask:
”Why were you and Russell born without extraordinary characteristics?”
In that case, both the “Goddess of the Night” and Rossel the Great would have preferred the “Diviner”, “Apprentice”, or “Thief” path. “The way.
The projection of the “Goddess of the Night” said blandly:
”That’s why I said that the ‘Lord of Secrecy’ had somehow had an accident and lost control of many arrangements.”
”It was only after two consecutive failures that the ‘Source Castle’ showed some changes.”
”This is also a good thing for you. With the end approaching, the remaining will of the ‘Lord of Secrecy’ is dissipating, and eventually only the spirit will survive to try to awaken.”
”If you were born in the Fourth Age, the moment you became a ‘Trickster Servant’, you would have become a K.”
This was because Klein had been promoted purely with the piece of “curtain” left behind by the “Heavenly Father” at that time, while the extraordinary characteristics within the angels such as Antigonus and Charatru had already undergone the dissipation and hybridization of generations of extraordinary and transcendent beings beforehand.
Klein always felt that the “Goddess of the Night” had some speculation about what had happened to the “Blessed Being Xuanhuang Tianzun”, but since the other party deliberately did not mention it, he could not pursue the question, and could only turn and say:
”How did Antigonus accommodate the uniqueness of the ‘Fool’ in the first place?”
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” did not hide anything and responded in a soft voice:
”k enlisted the help of Adam and Amon.”
”The k’s were all in favor of Alistair Tudor at the time.”
”Using the ‘Trojan Horse of Fate’ ability?” Klein keenly went straight to the core based on what Will Onsettin had said and his own thoughts.
”The projection of the Goddess of the Night seemed like a starry night sky, quietly soothing the surroundings.”
”The K’s captured a demigod of the Solomon Empire and had Adam do a deep hypnosis and corresponding memory transplant to make the other believe he was Antigonus.”
”Amon then stole away the K’s identity and destiny with Antigonus’ cooperation, and Antigonus used the ‘tampering’ authority to combine the identity and destiny in Amon’s hands with the subject of the experiment.”
”That demigod of the Solomon Empire began to live in the state of Antigonus, and after a time actively tried to accommodate the ‘Fool’ Uniqueness.”
”k No doubt got out of control, and at this time, the real Antigonus undid the ‘tampering’ and allowed his identity and destiny to be returned to Amon, who in turn ended the theft and returned them to their original owners.”
Klein listened intently and added thoughtfully:
”That makes it so that two completely different fates, ‘Antigonus fails to accommodate uniqueness and becomes a monster’ and ‘Antigonus lives on and nothing goes wrong’ exist in the real world at the same time, so , fate is somehow fooled ……”
Before the words left his mouth, Klein sensed some hidden danger and was busy asking again:
”Won’t there be any problems with this?”
”There is a great risk.” The dream projection of the “Goddess of the Night” calmly responded, “Fate is not easy to bear. If you can’t take it back within the very short time that the target is about to lose control, things will undoubtedly fail: one second earlier, the ritual will have no effect; one second later, Antigonus will be burdened with the fate of losing control of the madness, and inevitably lead to the same end.”
Also, take on the fate of the natural to take on the fate of the trouble brought by …… If not, Amon would have already stolen my fate, waltzing into the “source of the fortress” …… Klein in the Muttering a few words in his heart, he began to think about how he should imitate the ritual of the ancestors of the Antigonus family.
–Given the difficulty of completing the normal ritual and the urgency of the matter, using a simplified version of the ritual to accommodate the uniqueness of the Fool seems to be the best option at this point in time.
When I become half a “Fool”, and my control over the “Source Castle” is further advanced, my level and strength will at least reach the True God status, in which case, even if I don’t have a chance of winning against Amon, who is a dual-path True God, I will be able to protect myself and wait for help! ……Klein thought about the contrast in strength and the development he hoped to obtain while having a preliminary plan for the ceremony.
He planned to ask the “Goddess of Night” to help him suppress the ancestor of the Antigonus family, and then utilize the “Fortress of Source” to steal the identity, destiny, and self-knowledge of the other party.
In this way, his own consciousness, the will of the “Heavenly Father”, the self-knowledge of the ancestor of the Antigonus family, and the anchors from New Silver City, Crescent City, and the Rothschild Archipelago existed in him at the same time, and he would become Antigonus to a certain extent, and take on the destiny of the other party’s out-of-control insanity.
Antigonus himself went mad because his self-knowledge could no longer suppress the revived will of the “Heavenly Father”, and the two spirits were sewn together. When K’s self-cognizance reaches Klein’s body, it will undoubtedly repeat the same process, because the will of the “Heavenly Father” in Klein’s body will not be much less than K’s. In other words, the destiny of the uncontrolled madness itself is the same as the destiny of the other party.
That is to say, the fate of uncontrolled madness itself was inevitable, and Klein would not have to bear the extra burden, and at the same time, his own consciousness and more anchors than the current Antigonus would be able to mediate and maintain a bottom line with a little bit of sanity left.
In this state, he would accommodate the uniqueness of the Fool as the ancestor of the Antigonus family, and in the corresponding fate, it was something he had already accommodated without further impact.
And so, fate was fooled.
When the ritual is over, and Kraven undoes the theft and regains his original identity and destiny, he will no longer be affected by the madness, and will simply become half a “Fool”.
The main pitfalls of this program are two: first, the maintenance of their own state, which slightly accidentally, will easily lead to Klein completely crazy, unable to save themselves; second, Antigonus family ancestors in the body of the will of the “Heavenly Father” in the case of complete absence of suppression, will be resurrected to what extent, bring about changes, no one can say, but to rely on the “Goddess of the Night” to bring about changes. We could only rely on the “Goddess of the Night” to balance the situation.
At this moment, the dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” seemed to have guessed his thoughts:
”If you want to steal the fate of Antigonus, it is best to let k enter a temporary state of eternal sleep.”
”I can try to help you, but I need the medium to be sure enough, an angel who houses the uniqueness of the ‘Fool’.”
”What medium?” Klein asked as if in thought.
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” said with a hint of amusement:
”The water of the ‘River of Eternal Darkness’.”
Sure enough …… to Kline, this answer was not at all surprising, and even right in the middle of his guess, giving him a feeling that his second boot had finally landed on the ground.
He deliberated for a moment:
”Just the river?”
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” nodded softly and said:
”There’s no way for you to take the entire ‘River of Eternal Darkness’ even now, you’ll understand when you reach the depths of Calderon.”
”There are things to ask when you return.”
Not waiting for Klein to respond, K added:
”As far as you are concerned, there are unusual dangers there, you’d better wait until your mental state stabilizes before going.”
”Okay.” Although Klein wasn’t sure what he would encounter in the depths of Calderon City, he knew that his current state wasn’t suitable for adventures, especially those involving source material.
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” continued:
”When you wake up, perform a ritual of praying for bestowal, and I will give you an item used to fetch the waters of the ‘River of Eternal Darkness’.”
Klein nodded without shivering and turned to say:
”Adam is part of the ancient sun god, one of K’s identities.”
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” did not show any obvious mood swings and said softly and soothingly:
”k has gone to the land of divine abandonment and met the ‘True Creator’.”
After being …… slightly surprised so quickly, Klein felt that it should be so.
The reason why Adam would reveal his secret to himself was because it no longer had value.
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” continued:
”Whatever happens next, it will take a long time, so you don’t have to pay attention to it for now.”
After Klein nodded his head, the figure in front of him flew into a blur, and the night herbs and deep sleep flowers under his feet, among others, flew up one after another, sprinkling the darkness.
He then opened his eyes and saw the eerie halls and the pure light shining through the holes in the walls, the latter like stars set into the velvety night.
