Chapter Seventy-Three: That Level
I'm about to lift the maintenance of the historical pore image, Klein was stunned by Amon's question.
He controlled himself, did not let his brows furrow slightly, and asked without answering:
"You're not Amon's body?"
Standing on the edge of the "cliff", Amon took a step forward and said with a smile:
"Of course not.
"You seem to know my body, or some other clone?"
Although Amon on the other side didn't make a move, this step he took still brought indescribable pressure to Klein, and he finally retreated without stress, exposing his timidity.
He let out an "um" and replied in a low voice:
"So I'm surprised you don't know me. β
"Are you famous?" Amon laughed and teased as he crawled out of the darkness of nothingness, then raised his hand to straighten the crystal monocle he was wearing in his right eye.
This action froze for several seconds before it ended, and Amon whispered as if in thought:
"There's no other me nearby...... Is it really not, or is it completely disconnected?"
What happened to cause this Amon to become independent?No, I can't believe anything this guy is showing, he's a top fraudster...... Klein's heart moved at first, and then he suppressed the corresponding thoughts, and then asked:
"Why did you crawl out of the ground?"
Na Amon's expression returned to normal, and he smiled:
"Guess. β
Whether it's the main body or the clone, the bad personality is the same...... Klein sneered, and replied tentatively:
"You're exploring the secrets of the underground. β
Amon bowed his head lightly and said:
"Isn't that obvious?"
He immediately half-turned his body and pointed to the dark path in front of the "cliff" that the light could not illuminate:
"My father crawled out of here just like I did.
"Ah yes, it has a name, you've probably heard of it, 'Sea of Chaos'. β
"Sea of Chaos"?"Sea of Chaos, one of the nine "essentia...... It was hidden deep underground...... Is it really the pollution behind the Bronze Gate, and I relied on small talk with Amon to complete this occult knowledge before...... The ancient sun god was originally a member of this institute, and then fell into the "Sea of Chaos" deep underground, and it was not until the Second Age that he woke up and crawled out? Because he was just an ordinary person at the time, according to the law that the higher the sequence, the more dangerous it was close to the ground, but he was not affected too much? Crane's mind spun rapidly, remembering one thing after another, and making one guess after another.
After two or three seconds, he cooperated:
"So you ventured into it in search of the buried history and the truth of the world?"
"That's about it. Amon pinched the upper and lower edges of the monocle and said in a slightly self-deprecating tone, "But I didn't do it voluntarily. β
"Huh?" Klein said in a simple voice.
Amon smiled and said:
"Everyone I knew that the depths of the earth were dangerous, and I didn't want to go down on my own, so we tried a lot of roundabout methods, including creating secret puppets to replace ourselves, but they didn't succeed and couldn't get feedback.
"In the end, under the auspices of Ontology, we had a fair vote and, unfortunately, I was chosen. β
...... It's a miracle that Amon hasn't gone completely crazy yet...... is worthy of being the "god of pranks", and internal decisions must be made in such a spoof way...... Crane resisted the urge to complain and said:
"And then, you jumped on your own?"
"You can't wait to be thrown down by them. Amon spread his hands and said.
At this point, He seemed to understand at last, and whispered to himself:
"The 'Sea of Chaos' disconnected me from my main body and from the clones around me?
"Am I independent?"
Independent...... When I was in front of the bronze door of the Hall of Honesty, I felt that every cell and every "spirit worm" was giving birth to a new consciousness and a self that was different from the ontology...... Amon's clone directly entered the "Sea of Chaos", and it is normal to have similar anomalies...... A separate Amon clone should be able to effectively trap Amun's body...... No, can't believe it...... Klein had just preliminarily confirmed Amon's words from his own experience, and he violently warned himself that he must not trust the "god of deception".
He smiled and said:
"I suspect you're cheating on me. β
Amon lifted the monolithic eye made of the crystal, looked Klein up and down for a few seconds, and said:
"It doesn't mean anything to me if you don't believe it, even if I want to find a partner to work with, I won't be a weak guy like you. β
In the era of the King of the Eight Angels, are you very close to the "Red Angel" Medici...... Crane made up his mind anyway and didn't believe in the fact that Amon was independent in front of him, and tried to ask:
"What did you find in the 'Sea of Chaos'?"
"A lot, guess what there are. Amon smiled.
"Nothing was found. Klein said this deliberately.
Amon shook his head:
"I should have thought the same thing about the others, and because I haven't come out for a long time and haven't responded, it's reasonable to think that I've been corrupted and digested by the 'Chaos Sea'. β
Without waiting for Klein to respond, Amon said to himself:
"The 'Sea of Chaos' is very large, almost filling the center of the earth, submerging the next level, and it is also the only 'essentia' that attaches equal importance to reality and illusion, and has a direct entrance to the real world, and the others are either completely illusory, hidden in the middle of nowhere, or absolutely real, coexisting with reality.
"I found something interesting inside, the first 'Blasphemous Slab' was supposed to be conceived there, but then it was pulled by some force and left the ground before it was complete.
"My father may have browsed the 'Blasphemous Tablet' at first, which is why he allowed his remnants to condense into a second 'Blasphemous Tablet' when he fell. β
This is the origin of each of the two "blasphemous tablets"? No wonder the ancient sun god was so powerful in the late Second Period...... Klein vaguely seemed to understand something, and subconsciously asked:
"What's the difference between two 'blasphemous tablets'?"
Amon adjusted the position of the crystal monocle and said:
"The second 'Blasphemy Slate' has changed the name of the sequence and added some content.
"Those contents hold secrets that transcend sequences. β
"Beyond the sequence?" Klein's pupils widened slightly, only to feel that one of his long-held guesses had been preliminarily confirmed, "Become the Creator?"
Amon smiled and said:
"Pretty much, but it's not accurate enough.
"I like to call that level 'above the sequence', and some true gods name it in other ways, some call it 'Old Day', some call it 'Outer God', and some refer to it as 'Starry Sky'. β
Starry Sky ...... As soon as Klein heard the term, his spiritual instincts began to warn wildly.
He remembered very well that Arianna, the leader of the ascetics of the Night Church, had told him that if he was not at the angelic level, he should not try to understand the starry sky, otherwise the mere understanding itself would bring great danger!
Without hesitation, Klein, who was hiding in the pores of pre-First Age history, gave up the maintenance of the projection, stood up on the layers of the old city, and walked four steps backwards.
Almost at the same time, the furious lightning that streaked through the sky above the Forsaken subsided, and the endless darkness vanished.
A huge red moon occupies one-half of the sky.
The light on the surface of the red moon stretched and expanded, as if it had come to life.
Outside this world, on the moon orbiting the earth, there is a crimson sea, which drowns everything, as if it is absorbing this huge natural satellite.
When Klein learned the information about the "Old Days", "Outer Gods", and "Starry Sky", this sea of blood boiled.
They quickly condensed in the middle, piling up continuously, and finally formed a phantom with a blood-red body, and it was impossible to see the specific appearance.
This phantom is many times larger than the moon, with countless eyes, and "it" looks down at the blue planet, and sets its eyes on Klein itself, which has been connected by understanding!
And as the crimson sea "recedes", many potholes are exposed on the surface of the moon.
Looking from the ground, the moon is no longer crimson, it is bright and cold, and it has not changed for hundreds of millions of years.
Farther afield, brown stars, orange stars, red stars, Venus, and blue stars twinkled at the same time, as if blinking their eyes.
In the fog of history, blisters appeared on Crane's body one after another, and in each blister there was a mutated "spirit worm", which was on the face of Zhou Mingrui, Crane Moretti, Gelman Sparrow and Dawn Dantès, trying to get out.
Crane's thoughts quickly became confused, and the whole spirit seemed to be divided by an invisible blade, but he still managed to finish the last incantation:
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun!"
Silently, Klein's spirit body passed through the gray mist and entered the "Source Castle", and the power of the entire space boiled on its own, surging and enveloping him, dissolving wisps of black gas, red light, and blisters, cutting off the invisible connection.
Nearly ten seconds later, Crane, who was struggling and rolling, finally regained consciousness and stood up with a high-backed chair.
Inside Chernobyl, Amun, who was standing on the edge of the "cliff", pushed the crystal monocle he was wearing in his right eye and whispered to himself:
"It's a quick response......"
If Klein had been a second slower, in that state of confusion, and had not had time to lift the maintenance of the historical pore image, then Amon would have been able to deceive the connection between the projection and the ontology, and appear directly in the corresponding historical fragment.
Above the gray mist, Crane sat down and rubbed the corners of his forehead:
"That Amun was really lying......
"He should be the clone who stayed in Chernobyl, and after he realized that after I came, because he couldn't bypass the historical projection to deal with the ontology directly, and he didn't necessarily have the strength of the Sequence 2 angel, he hid somewhere between the 'cliff' and the 'Sea of Chaos', pretending to be a clone that had just crawled out and was independent of the ontology, so as to deceive......
"He ostensibly tried to convince me that the doppelgangers were independent and cooperative, and I focused my attention on that, but in fact he hid the danger in his words......
"Even if you have a normal conversation with the 'God of Deception', you will be deceived......
"However, in order to achieve the goal, he also gave a sufficient amount of secret ......"
