Volume 7 The Inverted Man Chapter 4 Meeting
In the depths of the Godforsaken Land, at the top of a mountain peak, there stood a huge cross between the real and the unreal.
There was a blurry figure hanging upside down, and multiple ancient wooden stakes were nailed to the rack through K’s body, stained with blood that was still flowing but not dripping downward.
At the bottom of the cross, the “Angel of Destiny” Urolius, wearing simple linen robes and silver waist-length hair, was sitting there, his eyes softly and reverently closed as he prayed.
Adam, who had half of his face covered by a light golden beard, walked over step by step, stopped in front of the huge cross, raised his head, and silently stared at the upside-down figure.
K holds the “magic mirror” Arodes in one hand, and the second “blasphemous tablet” in the other, his eyes are clear and his expression is calm.
I don’t know how long it took, but the inverted figure on the huge cross suddenly faded, spreading into a curtain of shadows connecting the sky above and the earth below, behind which seemed to hide a pair of cold eyes watching the whole world.
In the next second, the curtain of shadows cracked open, inside the darkness, faintly echoing the illusory sound of the tide.
Adam then raised his left hand and let the ancient and mysterious “Magic Mirror” blossom into a mythical creature.
In the shimmering light, the viscous but illusory black liquid rushed and dispersed, and an infinite sea that seemed to embrace all colors and possibilities emerged, which appeared to be within reach, but could not have any effect on reality.
Immediately afterward, Adam put the second “blasphemous tablet” into the illusion-like scene.
The illusory sea scene in the infinite distance gently swayed, surrounding the second “blasphemous tablet” and creating a certain connection with it.
–The second “blasphemous tablet” was part of the remains of the ancient Sun God, who was very close to the level of the olden days, and was equivalent to the master of the “Chaos Sea”.
Seeing this scene, Adam’s left hand slightly moved, so that the “magic mirror” Aroldus flew up, landing on the bottom of the huge cross “fate angel” Urolius.
K himself took the second “blasphemous tablet” that had undergone a subtle change, and stepped into it through the crack in the shadow curtain.
The curtain of shadows immediately closed, quickly faded and disappeared, leaving only a huge empty cross in its place.
During the whole process, no one spoke, everything was carried out in silence, the “Angel of Destiny” Urolius even did not try to open his eyes.
At the same time, Amon became a god and used the first Blasphemy Tablet to block the passageway for the invasion of the “Fallen Mother Goddess”, while the “Storm Lord” shattered the imaginary church of bones and the Adam One of the identities.
After a while, Urolius the Tail Swallower opened his eyes and turned his gaze to the Mirror of Aroldus, which had landed in his lap.
On the surface of the “Magic Mirror”, a single silver word stood out in the shifting waves of illusory water:
”You should know what it’s like to be a devout believer and chase after a great being, right?”
Urolius nodded with a slightly indifferent expression.
”So, can you return me to my Lord’s side?” On the surface of the “Magic Mirror”, the single silver word wriggled and reorganized, forming a new sentence, “When you have finished answering, you may ask me two questions.”
Urolius looked at the ancient mirror in silence, and did not speak for a long, long time.
Finally, “Magic Mirror” Arodes couldn’t resist surfacing a new question:
”Why don’t you answer?”
Urolius replied flatly while looking at himself in the mirror:
”I haven’t thought about it yet.”
”Three questions ……” On the surface of the “Magic Mirror”, two words were slowly outlined in silver light.
……
Bakerland, on the lawn of a detached house.
Will Onsettin, already over two years old, was happily chasing a big golden cat with shiny fur on his short legs, accompanied by a nanny and a maid.
–Ever since the birth of the Snake of Destiny, Alan Krebs’ career has grown from strength to strength, and he now owns a private hospital that specializes in providing medical care to the upper class.
Running, Will Onsettin stepped on a slippery spot. Giving a giggle, k’s body involuntarily fell back.
k took a few steps back and stepped on another rock.
This provided the tendency to plant forward, allowing Will Onsettin to miraculously keep his balance.
The child with the obvious baby fat was quite wary of what had happened to him, as there was no way that k, with his luck, would step on something that would make him slip.
A familiar figure quickly reflected within k’s eyes.
It was Sherlock Moriarty in a half-height silk bowler hat and a black double-breasted coat.
Will Onsettin jerked his head around to look at his nanny and maid and realized they were oblivious to the presence of an additional stranger on the lawn.
”I always thought you’d say: call for help all you want, no one can hear you.” The broadly dressed two-year-old cooed back.
Not waiting for Klein to respond, K spread his hands again and said:
”Anyway, gotta congratulate you on being the King of Angels.”
”Bullying kids doesn’t really fit who you are now.”
Klein let out a laugh and said:
”You know how to fool fate?”
Will Onsettin raised his head and gave Klein a wary look and said:
”Giving me fake ice cream is not the same as fooling fate.”
Speaking of which, K grumbled:
”Why don’t you crouch down? At my age, it’s bad for cervical development if you keep raising your head like that.”
Without the bravado of the newly crowned King of Angels, Klein smiled and squatted down so that Will Onsettin could look at himself flatly.
Will Onsettin took his nanny’s palm and said:
”Unless I have been promoted to Sequence 0 and become the ‘Wheel of Fortune’, any fooling around with me is not the same as fooling fate.”
Klein asked thoughtfully:
”You haven’t found an opportunity to accommodate the ‘Dice of Probability’?”
”No.” Will Onsettin shook his head and added in a whirlwind, “I have a feeling it’s coming.”
Klein looked closely at the chubby-faced two-year-old for a few seconds and suddenly laughed:
”If both you and the ‘Dice of Probability’ were given to Urolius, would k be promoted to Sequence 0 soon?”
Will Onsettin glanced at Klein and said:
”K also needs to wait for the opportunity to accommodate, and the opportunity needed to become a ‘Wheel of Fortune’ is not the same as the one needed to accommodate the ‘Dice of Probability’.”
Said Will Onsettin, skimming his lips:
”If you only require to accommodate the ‘Fool’ uniqueness, then the corresponding ritual can be simplified and won’t be that difficult.”
”In this case, by skillfully utilizing the ‘Trojan Horse of Fate’ ability and making sacrifices within a certain degree, there is a chance to fool fate.”
”However, by the time you attempt to promote Sequence 0, even if you have accommodated uniqueness and absorbed three separate copies of Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics, you will have to truly, without compromise, perform a ritual that will allow the corresponding things to fully coalesce and undergo a qualitative change.”
这样啊 …… That is to say, choosing to accommodate the uniqueness first is only a tricky approach, and in the end, one must truly fool time, history or fate …… Klein nodded gently:
”I probably get it.”
He then smiled and added:
”Enjoy your childhood, there’s no telling how long that will last.”
With that said, Klein’s figure became transparent for a moment and disappeared across the lawn.
Will Onsettin’s other hand, which wasn’t holding the babysitter, instinctively grabbed forward twice, then retracted feebly.
”Just like this, he left …… really rude, home visit even without preparing a gift ……” The kid couldn’t help but mutter a couple of words.
……
St. Samuel’s Church, Birkeland, North End.
Klein, who had transformed into the appearance of Dawn Dantes, walked into the large prayer hall and found a corner seat.
He glanced at the dark emblem of the night on the altar, buried his head low, crossed his arms, and began to pray:
”Sublimer than the stars, longer than eternity, Goddess of Night, you are the Mother of Secrecy, the Queen of Doom and Fear ……”
In the midst of his prayers, with his eyes closed, Klein’s mind and body gradually settled and tranquilized, as if he had entered a half-asleep, half-awake state.
I don’t know how long, his “eyes” appeared a boundless darkness, feet are a bush of night herbs and deep sleep flowers.
It was so quiet that even breathing seemed to disturb the sleepers around him.
Before Klein had time to survey his surroundings, a figure suddenly descended from the depths of darkness.
There was clearly no sky or earth in this place, but the figure seemed to come from the high red moon or the stars.
K wore a long, layered but not complicated ethereal black dress, embellished with countless sparkles, as if draping the starry night sky onto her body.
k’s head was hidden and difficult to see, and could only be identified as a female.
”Long time no see.” The figure spoke softly before Klein could speak.
k’s voice was like a lullaby in the night.
Klein said with a gentlemanly salute:
”Is this addressed to the once ‘Lord of Secrecy’ or to me hanging above the ‘Source Castle’?”
Krynn was pretty sure it was a dream now, but dreams didn’t mean they were necessarily false.
The projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” said with a little chuckle:
”I’m not sure where you were suspended above that door of light. After I left from there, I never went back.”
果然…… Klein secretly sighed, affirming the origin of the “Goddess of Night” Amanisis from the details.
”The three cocoons of light that broke open were next to each other.” He responded simply.
”The projection of the Night Goddess in the dream realm stood in the still, swirling darkness, giving it a very surreal feel.
K said in a soft voice:
”The people there are all resurrection alternatives to the ‘Lord of Secrecy’, but k had some kind of accident and lost control of many things.”
”If it wasn’t for that, I would have died long ago, living as the ‘Lord of Secrecy’, and you and Rossel wouldn’t have had a chance to return to reality.”
This meant that the “Heavenly Father” had fallen rather completely, and could only rely on the residual will within the extraordinary characteristics and the mechanical arrangement of the “Source Fortress” to resurrect him? Klein sighed and smiled:
”I can already hear K whispering in my ear.”
