The clone created by Klein is modeled after the current state, not Dawn Dantès, Sherlock Moriarty, or Merlin Hermes, so as not to have cognitive impairments.

After encountering the mutation brought about by Adam, he became more cautious about similar aspects.

Glancing at the doppelganger, Crane's mind moved, leaving its face blank.

The doppelganger immediately stretched out his right hand, mobilized the power of the "Source Fort", and grabbed the main body.

Again and again, after failing more than a dozen times in a row, it finally pulled a little bit of dark light from its body.

Finally...... Crane sighed and extinguished the idea of generalizing this attempt into actual combat.

He didn't resist at all, and when he let go of his body and mind, the doppelganger used the personality and power of the "Source Castle", and it took so much time and so many failures before he finally succeeded, and the actual combat value can be imagined.

As more and more extraordinary traits left his body, Klein's whole body relaxed, and he felt like he had finally dropped the burden after carrying it for a long time.

Of course, his mental state also fluctuated to a certain extent, because after losing the involvement of Zarathu's residual spirit, the will to recover from "Tianzun" eroded his mind more strongly.

This was expected by Klein, so he did not panic at all, and with his self-awareness that had already stabilized, his still tenacious will, and a sufficient number of anchors, he gradually resisted the pollution from the will of "Tianzun" and found a new balance.

At the same time, when Crane's undigested extraordinary properties of the "Mysterious Waiter" basically entered the doppelganger's body, its blank face, which had no facial features, suddenly distorted, and grew a pair of dark eyes and a long white beard looming.

At this moment, it was extremely close to Zarathu.

However, it could not bear the madness brought about by the extraordinary properties of this "mysterious attendant", and its body quickly developed in the direction of collapse, crawling out one transparent and twisted worm after another, extending one slippery and evil tentacle after another.

It spiraled out of control on the spot.

Klein didn't let it go, and without hesitation, he moved his fingers and turned this doppelganger into his secret puppet.

The runaway process was interrupted.

At this point, he had made all the preparations, and his body was in a state where he could digest the potion and could accommodate the uniqueness of the "Fool", and attached a Sequence 1 secret puppet.

Klein leaned back in his chair and went over what he was going to do again to see if there had been a fatal omission.

"For the battle of the gods, all I can do is this now, and then I can do my best...... Well, am I too optimistic about the previous process, because with the help of the goddess and the assistance of the 'River of Eternal Darkness', there is no need to worry about what accidents will happen to the ancestor of the Antigonus family?"

After thinking about it, he made another doppelganger, and his face was still blank.

After doing this, Crane stood up, took "Wriggling Hunger" from the fog of history, and put it on his left hand.

This is a preparation for possible small-scale battles, where "flashing" is faster and more convenient than "grafting".

Straightening his collar, Crane slowly looked around, letting his gaze fall on the strange light door stained with blue and black, and on the human suspended there, wrapped in transparent "silkworm cocoons".

Sweeping them one by one, his gaze was fixed on the three cracked transparent "cocoons".

In the next second, Crane's figure disappeared, appearing in the gray fog of history, step by step to the front of the First Age, to the cascading old city.

He stood atop a barely towering dilapidated building, looking down at the heaps of ruins of houses, public transport turned into discus, and cars stacking one after another.

In silence, his gaze swept over the remaining houses, as if through the barriers of history, and saw electric lights lit up inside them.

The light of these electric lamps spread softly, illuminating the glass, illuminating the buildings, illuminating the streets, illuminating the ruins of a corner of the old city.

After staring at it for a long time, Crane withdrew his gaze and took a step back into the real world.

Immediately afterward, he teleported directly to the summit of the Hornachis Mountains, where he "saw" the ancient palace shrouded in mist, dilapidated, and overgrown weeds.

His secret puppet and doppelganger then appeared in front of him, like two guards.

Facing the ancient palace, Crane pressed his top hat, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers.

The peaks of the Hornachis Mountains suddenly became dark, and the surrounding areas were dotted with illusory stars.

Klein "grafted" this place with the astral plane.

Without further hesitation, he took the secret puppet and the doppelganger and walked to the main entrance of the ancient palace.

The puppet, who was quite close to his current appearance, took the lead, bent down, stretched out his hands, and slowly pushed the heavy stone door.

In the sound of Zazaza's rubbing, the door opened little by little, revealing the scene inside.

Unlike the last time Klein brought the "Trenthorst Brass Book" over, it was so dark that it was impossible to see the many corpses hanging in the hall, nor the transparent worms entrenched in the huge stone chairs.

There was no need to guess, Klein used the "soothsayer" intuition at the level of the King of Angels to determine that this was the change brought about by the "Goddess of the Night" after she used the water of the "River of Eternal Darkness" to put the ancestor of the Antigonus family into eternal sleep.

After the secret puppet and the doppelganger entered one after another, he also slowly passed through the gate and stepped into the palace.

The darkness swayed and changed.

Buildings emerge all around, figures walk on the streets, and words spread out, making the whole environment suddenly vivid and noisy.

Ignoring Crane and his secret spouse and doppelganger, people go to different places on their own, talking to each other about various things.

They and the buildings were dull in color, close to black and white, like an old photograph from the depths of history, suddenly brought to life.

This made Klein think of holographic black-and-white projections, scenes in the pores of history and real dreams.

He strolled through the town, along the streets that gradually went up.

And the closer you get to the heights, the more magnificent the building becomes, with its exaggerated dome supported by massive stone columns.

The people living in this "old black and white photograph" are generally tall, seemingly studying, working, and resting normally.

The scenes here are constantly changing, showing the birth of a baby, the growth of a child, the ignorance of youth, the troubles of adulthood, the stress of middle age, and the sadness of aging.

Of course, these are interspersed with each other, but sometimes one of them is the theme.

As Crane got deeper, he began to see some of the townsfolk pass away.

Without much grief, their loved ones carried the deceased back to their homes, put them on the bed, and placed them next to their pillows, as if the bodies were still alive.

By the time Klein was about to leave the town, the dead got out of bed, left their loved ones, walked out of their homes, and walked down the street to the top.

There is also a city there, which seems to be the city of the dead, the final destination of all life, the kingdom of eternal sleep.

This is very close to the place where normal people live, the latter is distributed in the area from the mountainside to the summit, and the former is at the summit.

Others may be surprised by such a state, but Crane suddenly understood what this place was and what such a scene meant.

Because, he directly saw the "spirit thread" on the bodies of the dead.

At the moment when they were about to die, the "Spirit Thread" floated to the peak, controlled by an unknown being.

In other words, they became secret couples.

Therefore, after dying for a period of time, the deceased can go out on their own, leave their families, and go to the peak.

And this is completely consistent with the details of the "Study of the Ancient Ruins of the Main Peak of Honaches" that Klein had seen at the beginning:

The Land of Night belongs to the "Mother of Heaven" on the path of the Night, but at the summit, there is a secret town for the ancestors of the Antigonus family.

As a result, the inhabitants of the Land of Night reverently and fearfully believe in the "Mother of Heaven", and at the same time, they believe that death is not the end, and that their dead relatives will protect them in the night.

Indeed, death is not the end, the "City of the Dead" is right next to them, right at the peak, you can walk to it, and the dead will continue their lives there in the form of secret couples.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly equivalent to being alive.

In this way, the land of the living and the city of the dead are connected, at opposite ends of the short road. The distance between life and death is so close, as close as neighbors.

This also explains why there are no tombs in the Night Country, because the dead do not need to be buried at all, they become secret puppets and go to the peak.

This is supposed to be the original Night Country...... Crane bowed his head slightly, and stepped up to the top of the mountain in the dark environment.

What caught his eye was a seemingly normal town, but everyone here was a secret puppet.

Passing through the mystical puppets dressed in different shapes, Crane entered the grand palace that enshrined the gods in front of him.

In the depths of the palace, on the huge stone chair, a figure rested its elbows on the armrests, its head resting on the back of the chair.

He had a young countenance, but his long hair was half white, half hidden and half obvious, he was a man, his eyes were darker than those of Zarathu, and contained indescribable vicissitudes, and his facial features were not bad, but on his cheeks there were a handful of thick black hairs like wolf hair, giving people a contradictory feeling of being old and young, rational and crazy.

This is the ancestor of the House of Antigonus, and this time, instead of taking on the form of a mythical creature, he sits on a huge stone chair in his original form.

At this moment, His eyes were closed as if he were asleep, and inside the hall hung a corpse of poorly dressed or ornate corpses.

They are like inverted forests, gently swaying in the wind.

"After entering a state of eternal sleep, the ancestor of the House of Antigonus finally briefly escaped his loss of control and madness, and changed back to his former self?" Crane sighed as he stood in the center of the hall, staring at the goal of his trip.

The Land of Night and the City of the Dead that he had just seen, all the scenes he saw were Antigonus' dreams.

Thousands of years of dreams.
