Volume 7 The Inverted Hanged Man Chapter 21 Inducement
Seeing that Klein could not say anything for a moment, War God Church Archpriest Larrion’s expression became more and more solemn:
”Moreover, the fall of the gods is only temporary, k will eventually return and revive from within me.”
…… Klein listened to a slight frown, actually do not know the opposite side of the angel is too much anchor shaken, so that the mental state has an abnormality, will not be long before the loss of control, or by the “God of War” influence is too deep, in a sense become the other side of the “backhanded”. “Backhand”.
Not to mention the true gods of Sequence 0, even the King of Angels and some of the angels, they often die without being tranquilized!
”You should know very well that another ten years or so will be the end of the world, and I think that the speed of the ‘God of War’s’ recovery must not be that fast.” Klein tried to wake up the other party with a harsh reality.
Larion let out a “humph”:
”The might of a god, you can never imagine.”
K didn’t give Klein a chance to continue his lobbying and said with a slight smile:
”Anyway, I won’t trade with you, pray, pray for the ‘Black Night’, pray for the gods you believe in to seal ‘0-02’ and save you!
”And I’ll be out of here in thirty or forty seconds at most.”
Klein looked up at the “curtain” hanging down from the infinite heights, and without further ado, allowed the spirit to return to the library where the “Book of Trenthorst Brass” was located.
”Have you thought of anything?” He asked without delay at all.
Arianna shook her head slightly and turned to the question:
”What did Larion say?”
”k Let’s pray to the gods to seal ‘0-02’……” Klein said, suddenly a little stunned.
This sentence that Larrion had just said seemed to have no problem, but it inadvertently revealed a very important message:
He believes that the gods can seal “0-02”, no matter which one!
Then what does the deity seal? By forcibly suppressing the 0-bit sequence, or by utilizing the power that can destroy the world? Klein then had one question after another.
At that moment, the “Book of Trenthorst Brass” turned to a blank page, letting one mercury-colored word after another appear on it – it used the language of the first “blasphemous tablet”! “The language it used was that of the first Blasphemy Tablet, which seemed to be the source of all the current languages still in use.
In the twinkling of an eye, this one mercury-colored word formed a new article:
”The Beldan Municipal Library is the place where the ‘Bronze Book of Trenthorst’ is kept, and is a place that must be closely guarded, and any being that enters here without the permission of the ‘Bronze Book of Trenthorst’ without authorization will suffer heavy punishment.”
This is to raise the strength of the punishment, next, I might be directly sentenced to death …… Klein’s pupils dilated slightly, quickly speculating on the most likely development afterward.
However, he did not panic at all, but instead smiled and reverently said to himself:
”My wish is that the Beldan Municipal Library shrinks in size so that the current position of Lady Arianna and I becomes the dividing line.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, granting his wish himself.
As the sound of the snap echoed, the lawn corresponding to the Beldan Municipal Library disappeared, the building shrunk, the walls receded, and soon it was only one-tenth of its original size.
Klein and Arianna unknowingly “came” to the outside of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and through the open window, gazed at the “Trenthorst Brass Book” on the rectangular table.
The distance between them and their target hadn’t changed a bit, they were still very close, but no longer in the range of severe punishment, just a first curfew violation and another whipping by the invisible enforcer.
After accumulating wish after wish to repair the building, Klein had been able to perform no small miracle in that regard!
Without making another wish, he continued to spin his thoughts, analyzing the meaning lurking in the previous words of the Archpriest of the Church of War:
”No, it shouldn’t be forced down by the Bits, or my spiritual intuition would have told me the answer long ago, allowing me to invoke the aura of the ‘Source Fortress’ and complete the sealing ……
”In terms of the occult, this is understandable, as ‘0-02’ is clearly associated with a certain source quality, and it is difficult to forcefully suppress it by relying on the bit pattern of sequence 0 ……
”Relying on the might of the deity itself? That might be possible, but odds are it’s not really the way to do it, since Larion himself holds a set of ways to accomplish the sealing without relying on the deity ……
”What’s so special about Sequence 0 deities? And what methods can angels use to reach that special indirectly?
”The most special thing I can think of at the moment about the Sequence 0 deities is that the K’s house ‘uniqueness’. It’s something I can’t summon from the orifices of history that truly possesses the characteristic ‘uniqueness.
”But how can angels indirectly mimic ‘uniqueness’?”
Klein’s countless thoughts collided, inspiring a plethora of sparks, but he still couldn’t figure out the crux of the problem.
At this time, the mercury-colored words continued to seep out of the “Trenthorst Brass Book”, to form a new article that would classify Klein and Arianna into the group that must be punished.
Arianna, after observing in silence for a while, suddenly said:
”I’ll try to ‘stealth’ the dirt under that table and let ‘0-02’ fall into the center of the earth, while you keep your guard up to prevent accidents.”
”Conceal” the dirt …… to fall into the center of the earth …… Klein listened to his heart and thought it was quite a good idea.
”Trenthorst Brass Book” is currently only prohibited from “touching” and “changing its own state” two points, the surrounding environment and its own state is not equivalent, in addition, the Beldan Municipal Library just can not enter without permission, does not mean that the Beldan Municipal Library can not enter without permission, does not mean that the Beldan Municipal Library can not enter without permission. In addition, the Beltane Municipal Library just can not enter without authorization, does not mean that Klein and Arianna can not exert a certain influence on it.
When “0-02”, which was not forbidden to leave, passed through the hidden “dirt” and fell into the center of the earth, it would lose its influence over the city of Beldan because it was beyond the distance, causing the rules it had previously set to be invalidated, unless it awakened or activated itself further, making a larger area its own jurisdiction. larger territory as its own jurisdiction.
In this way, Klein and Arianna no longer need to be restricted by the rules, and can turn to the “Goddess of the Night” for help!
But just as Arianna finally thought of a way to implement her plan, a new article took shape:
”The Beldan Municipal Library is the place where the ‘Book of Trenthorst Brass’ is stored, and it is a place that must be closely protected, and no living being or thing may cause any damage to it in any sense of the word.”
Sure enough, “0-02” also noticed this loophole …… this loophole …… While Klein frowned slightly, he suddenly had inspiration for what he had been thinking about before:
Sequence 0 deity’s special is indeed “uniqueness”, but the k’s sealing “0-02” is not a direct application of the authority and power derived from this.
The k’s probably relied on the characteristic of “uniqueness” to induce “0-02” to formulate a series of contradictory rules, so that the seal would be caught in a paradoxical or dead-end state!
This is something that angels, saints, and even ordinary people can accomplish on their own, but the key lies in coming up with paradoxes and inducing them.
As for the “0-02” dead cycle, ready to repair the loophole, and how to seal it, Klein currently does not have a clue, need to be observed at that time.
How to create a paradox …… Klein’s mind quickly flashed through all the rules that “0-02” had previously formulated and the purpose of introducing the corresponding rules.
In just a few seconds, he keenly grasped a point that could create a dead end, and busily turned his head sideways, saying to Arianna:
”Ma’am, instead of destroying the Municipal Library, we’ll directly ‘secrete’ the rest of Beldan and indirectly make the place lose enough support to collapse on its own and fall into the center of the earth.”
Arianna didn’t immediately do as she was told, but instead turned her head sideways and gave Klein a deep look:
”It would bring about the death of a large number of civilians.”
”When one must choose between two hazards, one can only choose the lesser one.” Klein said with a serious expression.
Arianna did not respond and fell silent, as if she was having a fierce mental struggle or preparing accordingly.
At this time, it was only on the brass page where the two articles were written that new rules were born even more quickly than before:
”Beldan is the city where the ‘Brass Book of Trenthorst’ is located, it is a holy place in the true sense of the word, and no living being whatsoever can cause any damage to it in any sense of the word.”
Seeing this provision, instead of being disappointed, Klein curled up the corner of his mouth.
With a snap, he snapped his fingers, causing crimson flames to gush out from within the pockets of his clothing, darting to overwhelm him.
Just two or three seconds later, a stream of flame fell from the sky, and Klein leapt out of it, taking one person with him.
It was one of the four Extraordinaires he had rescued earlier, Byers, a native of Beldan!
”You go in there and quickly flip through that brass book.” Klein pointed to “0-02” on the rectangular table and calmly said to Byers.
Byers wasn’t sure what was going on, but had more faith in the magical “wizard” who had granted him two wishes, and felt that he had found a way to get the whole of Beldan out of trouble, so, after taking a breath, he stepped through the open floor-to-ceiling window and into the shrunken municipal library.
He was not subjected to heavy punishment in this process, and he was not even flogged!
Seeing this scene, the smile on Klein’s face became more and more obvious.
”0-02″ appeared to be a paradox!
Because of the existence of Aroldus, the “Tromsøst Brass Book” could only do the most comprehensive prohibition, forbidding any living creature or anything to cause any meaningful damage to Beldan.
As a city, Beldan is not only defined by its terrain and buildings, but also by its people and citizens.
In this case, if “0-02” penalized Biles, a citizen of Beldan, by causing any meaningful damage to him, then it would violate the rule it had just issued, and if it did not penalize him, then it would violate the series of laws of “prohibiting trespassing in the municipal library”, so “0-02” was in violation of the law. Thus, the “Tromsøster Brass Book” entered a kind of dead circle!
Of course, Crane was sure that this degree of paradox would soon be corrected by an addendum, and he only hoped that Biles would be able to turn over the brass book and find a clue to the seal before then!
”Keep an eye on the page now spread out, and come out as soon as a provision on it is about to take shape.” Klein gazed at Byers and “0-02” and opened his mouth to admonish.
