Volume 7: The Hanged Man Chapter 86: The Secret Servant
As the “Secret Servant” magic potion entered his body, Klein immediately had a feeling of swelling.
In an instant, he lost all sense of his physical body and the “Spirit Worms”, and watched as they vaporized and dispersed into the spirit world, which could not be described by normal language or understood by normal logic, and seemed to be disintegrating into abstract and complicated information.
At this moment, Klein’s only consciousness was still barely preserved, with self-awareness.
”He was floating in the spirit world filled with countless strange figures, and after losing his sense of his body and extraordinary characteristics, he was further subjected to a wide variety of thoughts, information, knowledge, symbols, and signs, and was on the verge of completely losing himself and becoming one with the spirit world.
If it had gone on like this, Klein would surely have been completely lost, but at this time, a certain area of the spirit world made contact with his consciousness.
It corresponded to a town, and the people in it lived ordinary lives, with their own names, their own stories, and their own destinies, intertwined and entwined with each other, bringing with them complete information about the Spirit World, that is, concepts in the abstract sense.
The town was eventually destroyed in a horrific natural disaster and buried in the dust of history.
Klein dispersed like mist, almost merging into the spirit world’s body, and was guided by fate to regain substance by combining with the spirit world projections of Utopia’s different secret puppets.
……
Byam, underground in the Church of the Waves, in a room that is no longer airtight.
Alger reached out his hands and pressed on the door in front of him.
The door’s surface was an azure blue color, protruding with one mysterious and grotesque relief after another.
It was half-open, and inside was a deep darkness without any light, connecting to an unknown world.
This darkness seemed to have a life of its own, and at this moment, it was quietly surging outward like water, eroding the surrounding area.
Bang!
Algernon’s feet pushed hard, causing the ground to crack and spew out reddish-white magma.
This was the “disaster” he created to stop the advance of the darkness.
However, after the surging magma entered the darkness, it disappeared without making a single sound.
As a result, the darkness shrunk back a little, stagnated for a second, and then continued to erode outward.
Rumble!
Alger continuously created hurricanes, rainstorms, and thunderstorms, blocking the darkness back again and again.
And his hands firmly pressed the “azure door”, did not let it open further.
If he was only facing this level 1 seal, Alger would have no problem at all, and would even have the strength to try to seal it, but at this moment, he was surrounded by two other equally dangerous items.
This forced him to sing at the top of his lungs, using the melody of death to affect his surroundings, interfering with the other seals, and building a wall of azure water around him.
Little by little, this wall tinted gray and seemed to turn to stone.
Such a trend could not be contained and kept spreading towards Alger’s body.
At most can support thirty seconds, “Storm Lord” has not responded to …… Algernon’s mind electric thoughts, suppress all kinds of reluctance and unwillingness, quickly made a decision.
He did not have any hesitation, immediately let his palm protruded a hexagonal crystal snowflake.
This was the mark left over from his first participation in the Tarot Meeting, which could be used as a substitute for chanting his name to make Mr. Fool’s gaze turn this way.
……
Blue Mountain Island, inside the virgin forest.
At the “Gate of Flesh and Blood”, layers of collapsing and coalescing spheres of light seeking qualitative change seemed to form a figure constructed from layers of gates, which was robed in blood-colored tides, and its shape kept distorting and changing, reflecting the different regions of different planets.
It was at this time that a piercing ray of sunlight shone through the night, falling from the astral realm and melting everything it touched on its way.
Beyond this sunlight, the impenetrable night came and tried to engulf Mr. Bertram Abraham, who was seeking promotion to Sequence 0.
The earth, where the altar was located, shook violently and opened a huge hole, so that the Gate of Flesh and Blood, together with Bertram Abraham, would fall deep into the heart of the earth and face the Sea of Chaos, which encompasses all colors and all possibilities.
Immediately afterward, a demonic sheet enveloped the forest, attempting to reduce the trees, the soil, and the altar to their most basic particulate structures.
And at the only gap revealed by this shimmering light, a pair of brass-colored eyes emerged.
They gazed at the Gate of Flesh and Blood and Bertram Abraham, reflecting their appearance into their pupils.
”Mr. Gate let out a low roar and let the blood-colored robe he was wearing rise.
This robe was connected to the evil tide that surged behind the “Flesh and Blood Gate”, spreading a scarlet moonlight around it.
As soon as it touched the moonlight, the impenetrable blackness of the night gathered on its own, stretched out its limbs and head, and turned into a ghostly female human.
It possessed its own life, its own consciousness, and was no longer driven by the user.
Without exception, the piercing sunlight turned into a young man in flaming armor; the shaking earth grew eyes and closed its mouth; the barrier made of spirits and cannibals highlighted} human features; around the brass-colored eyes, an eyelash burrowed out and turned into a feather.
These blocks and interferences were simultaneously thrown into confusion, giving Mr. Door a chance to catch his breath.
Seizing this opportunity, Mr. Door took the final step to become a god.
At that moment, the “Gate of Flesh and Blood” suddenly collapsed on itself and covered Mr. Gate’s body surface, making k seem to become another person.
……
Klein’s body seemed to split into countless individuals, who had their own preferences, personalities, perseverance, and destinies, and lived in a town called Utopia.
These people quickly spent their short lives, and in the lightning that fell like a rainstorm, came to their senses and cognized what their most essential identity was.
It was Chow Ming Rhee, and Klein Moretti, or Sherlock Moriarty, Germaine Sparrow, Dawn Dantes, Merlin Hermes.
A thing may have many names, but its essence does not change.
These “men” lifted their heads and looked up to the infinite heights of the illusory city in the spiritual realm.
They saw the illusory, dense threads of the spirit, a symbol composed partly of “pupil-less eyes” and partly of “twisted threads”.
At the center of this symbol, the figure of Kraven was outlined, with his eyes tightly closed.
A “Spirit Worm”, a little bit of extraordinary characteristics, and a self-recognition flew up from the spirit world area corresponding to Utopia, and threw themselves into Klein’s slightly illusory body, gradually giving it substance.
At this point, there was no longer a clear boundary between Klein’s spiritual body and his flesh and blood body; it was both integrated and dispersed, in a rather subtle state.
In other words, the spiritual body could be equal to the flesh and blood body, and the flesh and blood body could be integrated into the spiritual body, as long as Klein was willing, he could transform between these two states at any time, of course, he could also make the flesh and blood body and the spiritual body separate, each with their own specialties, it was just a matter of a thought.
In two seconds, the reorganization was complete, and Klein, who was floating in the depths of the spirit world, opened his eyes, his pupils were only deep black, without any semblance of light.
He had been promoted to Sequence 1, becoming a “Secret Servant”.
Behind him, a gray mist appeared without a sound, and above the mist was an ancient palace, inside which stood a door stained with a little greenish-black and made up of countless balls of light.
This door of light appeared rather clearly in the spirit realm, separating into a rather blurry shadow that was cast into Krynn’s body.
As this shadowy figure transformed into complex symbols and branded itself onto Klein’s brow, the entire spirit world and the real world outside shook gently, as if it had been hit by an earthquake from an extremely faraway place.
At this moment, Klein’s surroundings became ethereal, and illusory star after illusory star appeared, which surrounded the strange light door and seemed to want to gather over.
Of these illusory stars, the two most massive ones overlapped, corresponding to a certain area of the real world.
And the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth largest stars were located somewhere else, somewhere different.
Klein saw Mr. Gate and Amon on an island through these illusory stars, Antigonus in his crumbling palace in the Hidden World, Charatu hiding in an unknown place, Palles Zoroaster in Leonard’s body, and Kothar the Ebon Demon Wolf… …
With the help of the changes that occurred when he took control of the “Source Castle”, Klein was able to find the angels and angelic kings that corresponded to the three paths of the “Mysteries”.
Of course, this kind of “vision” can only exist for a few seconds, once Amon and Charatruk reacted and used the correct method to hide themselves, Klein would no longer be able to lock onto their real bodies.
Without hesitation, Klein raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
The “Star Staff” which was originally placed inside the “Source Castle” appeared in his palm, and he also separated some of the “Spirit Worms”, allowing them to enter the “Source Castle” to prevent a mutation. The “Source Castle”, to prevent mutations and to respond to the believers.
–After becoming a “Secret Servant”, Klein’s control over the “Fortress of Origin” deepened, and he was able to take out its contents anytime, anywhere.
In the next second, the various jewels on the “Star Staff” lit up, and Klein’s figure disappeared into the spirit world, instantly “roaming” into a swamp and “roaming” in front of Charatu.
Wearing a hood and a black robe, the white-bearded Charatu did not panic, and while utilizing the extraordinary ability of the “Secret Servant” to make various connections, he stretched out his left hand and grasped the void in front of him.
……
Gradually, Alger’s body turned a little gray and was about to be petrified.
Is it possible that Mr. Fool no longer favors me because I failed in my mission to monitor Verdoux? His brow furrowed slightly, and he wanted to give up, but he stayed at the bottom of the ground.
Just then, a gray mist appeared in front of his eyes, and all the seals fell silent.
……
Mr. Bertram “The Door” Abraham was covered by the “Flesh and Blood Door”, a familiar voice echoed in his ears:
”You want to bring disaster back to reality?”
Bertram Abraham’s movements were slowed down to a certain extent.
”Give it up, I have a way to deal with it, and I’ll put you to sleep and give you the peace you want.” The familiar voice sounded once more.
