960

Just as Bethel's spirit thread fell into Crane's hands, suddenly, a glow erupted from the Dusk Greatsword.

Countless sword-sharp lights burst out from the sword body of the Dusk Greatsword, instantly slicing Crane's body into pieces, and even those huge tentacles that shrouded the sky were cut to pieces, losing their support and falling from a great height.

However, in the process of falling, Klein's body suddenly collapsed, actively collapsing.

The sliced part began to split into countless transparent and twisted worms, swimming in all directions. Immediately after, Crane, who had the aura of a "fool", quickly thinned and turned into a card.

On top of the cards, Russell Gustav wears an ornate headdress, colorful clothes, carries a cane and luggage, and his eyes are full of longing.

"Fool" card.

The "Fool" card in "Blasphemy Cards".

Once brought to the seat of Antigonus in the hidden town of Tranquility by the ability to converge, it was brought out of the ruins of the Night Nation by Leonard and Pales, and finally fell into the hands of Crane.

Klein knew that relying solely on the "paper man stand-in", even if it added the "fool" effect and "grafted" the real breath, it would be difficult to deceive Bethel, who had a direct spiritual and spatial positioning, so he used the "fool" card with the corresponding aggregation ability to make the paper man.

The next moment, this "Fool" card was cut into dozens of pieces by a sword light, and it could no longer be used.

Of course, Mr. "Door" doesn't care about an extraordinary object that doesn't have much power. The moment he realized that the shredded Crane Moretti had not dropped any of his extraordinary properties, Bethel was convinced that it was a paper man-in-double—Crane, who had always played his cards out of the ordinary, finally used a soothsayer skill that he was more familiar with. And with the destruction of this doppelganger, Bethel's consciousness gained some freedom.

Even if there was a brief decrease in IQ and a momentary stagnation in his thoughts, Bethel did not lose the ability to fight back, nor did he stop thinking of fighting back.

His eyes quickly returned to clarity, but a small part of his body was still beginning to fall out of His control. After He transformed himself back into a symbol, no longer the concept of a Star Spirit, the Thread of the Spirit did have a little less of an effect on Him.

But it was only a slight extension of the original transformation time, as Crane didn't let go of his hand even when he was attacked.

As soon as Bethel's will was freed, he immediately expanded the range of his attack.

Suddenly, the light of dusk enveloped most of the kingdom of God, and the storm of dawn swept through everything around it indiscriminately, and the blades of swords forged by the light dragged almost everything in the kingdom of God into the storm of destruction.

Standing in the center of the bright storm, Bethel exhaled slowly, a page of records emitting a faint glow.

That's "fraud".

"I've 'written' this into my instincts, and I guess it's a better way to combat 'fooling' and lines."

"Looks like I'm right."

Even if you enter the process of secret couples, you can save yourself through various external interferences...... Bethel is familiar with this. He simulated the means of self-help after being mysteriously conjugated countless times, and finally he gave up thinking of a countermeasure, and instead set it to be automatically activated.

"It's ......"

Bethel reprimanded himself in a low voice: "This nonsense way of fighting makes me involuntarily become reckless." ”

After starting to be mysterious, the mind becomes incredibly slow. If it's a low sequence or a sequence 5 that has just been promoted, there will still be a long time, but the secret coupling of the king of angels level only takes about a second to do it, and then think about how to break free is better than to start saying the last words. Bethel, with Antigonus as its imaginary enemy, has specially set up an escape countermeasure of "being secretly coupled" for this purpose:

Use your documented extraordinary ability to "deceive" and trick yourself into letting instinct automatically respond to special situations - unleashing the strongest and fastest skills directly at the attacker regardless of attrition.

In the case of his own body being controlled, spatial tearing was impossible, so the Dusk Greatsword was immediately activated.

However, before today, Bethel had never tested on himself whether this "acquired reflex" was feasible, because it was impossible for him to invite Antigonus or Zarathu to try to control his own body with the spirit thread.

"Crane didn't have time to use the 'Blasphemy Card' stand-in for the first time, which means that he was probably hit twice by me with the Twilight Greatsword...... He used a stand-in when his body collapsed after being hit, and he must have suffered no minor damage. ”

"'Fooling' is such a strange authority, somewhat similar to fraud, but the effect seems permanent?"

Although the mystical intonation of the body is still slowly advancing, Bethel is also out of the most dangerous time, with a buffer and time to think.

He searched Klein's location, sparing every spot where the Fool's aura appeared.

With the weak body of the "soothsayer", even the true god can't withstand many physical attacks, and now he must have been hit hard. If he could successfully destroy his body this time, then Bethel would not give Crane any chance of resurrection.

"Did He just use Antigonus's secret puppet to 'fool' my history of obtaining the 'Spirit Thread' ability, so that this history changed, or did he think that he did not appear, so as to completely erase all my 'Spirit Thread' records......

"It's really a strange authority, the demon of knowledge says that the 'fool''s godhood ceremony' is to 'fool' history, or the world, I don't seem to have done anything like this, but fortunately, I don't need to complete this ritual if I become a true god of the two paths."

Suddenly, Bethel felt that the Dawn Storm was being hindered somewhere, and his figure immediately flashed continuously, leaving countless afterimages of high-speed movement around the place where the anomaly occurred, and then his left palm on his hand poked out, and all the afterimage clones poked out of their palms together.

The surrounding space was overshadowed and became like layers of veil.

These "tulles" twisted and recombined, as if to form a sufficiently strong cage, in which Crane's figure appeared, and the layers of tulle cages trapped Crane inside.

Above the cage, the other remnant clones have used other extraordinary abilities with imprison effects, and they have been continuously reinforced.

However, Crane's figure suddenly appeared outside the cage, as if it had never been sealed by the authority of the "door".

He "fooled" history and divided himself one second before and the next.

As a result, what he was imprisoned in the cage became a projection of his history.

This belongs to the deepening of the power of the "ancient scholars" under the authority of "fooling".

Because it relies on "fooling" history as a promotion ceremony, Klein, the "fool", is more capable of "fooling" time and "fooling" fate in similar fields.

As soon as he got out of the space cage, Crane immediately wanted to use the "Secret Realm" again to create a new "Fool" kingdom, so as to delay time and find an opportunity to stabilize his mental state - he had just used the "Fool" authority many times in a row, and the fragile balance in his body was on the verge of crumbling, if he didn't stabilize his mental state as soon as possible, the will of the "Lord of Mystery" would further awaken.

Again, this is a serious problem.

He didn't want to be someone else before he succeeded.

Klein sighed and gave Bethel a deep look:

"I'd rather let you, or I, stay in this position for the time being, than keep the Lord of Mysteries active."

"I must admit that indifference is also a protection, but it will not work, Mr. Bethel, and I am sure that you do not want to see your descendants lose their special place in your heart one day, they are your link to the earth, the continuation of your blood."

"Instead of expecting 'He doesn't care about humans so humans won't be harmed,' I should hope that I can hold on a little longer."

Bethel did not answer his words, and as he spoke, the cage was reconstituted again and stronger.

Klein's nervous thoughts staggered, and the whole person was in a stupid state of not knowing what to do.

"Fool"!

Crane looked up slowly.

The authority to "fool" comes from him, and he naturally has a certain resistance. He didn't lose his mind completely, but raised his head and watched the countless "doors" shimmering with starlight above him open one after another in the sky, watching the sharp blades forged by starlight, thunder, storm, and dusk light fill each door, these extraordinary abilities were enough to destroy a planet, but at this moment Bethel pointed at him all.

Klein's mental state was very stable, like a normal person who had been injected with a large dose of sedatives.

Probably because he was really tired, he was still able to think at this moment, and he knew that he should hide or run for his life, but he seemed to have lost different emotions and various desires, and he didn't even want to resist, he just wanted to stand so quietly and wait for the destruction to come.

But the next moment, he reacted anyway.

Suddenly, Crane's broken "Fool" kingdom completely collapsed, and the magnificent ancient palace and the mottled long table inside emerged.

The gray mist that had been located below the "Source Fort" rose and enveloped the space.

The gray mist split into two waves, colliding violently at one point, creating one vortex after another, tearing down a gap to reality.

The power of the "Source Castle" contradicted itself in this second, and it seemed that it did not know which "master of mysteries" to obey.

Klein was still in the seal of Bethel, but in the position of the "Fool", Antigonus had been sitting there with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked at some point, and the strange light gate around his eyebrows and body became more and more obvious, like substance.

This exuded an unimaginably strong gathering force, like an invisible hand, forcibly pulling out Bethel hiding in a certain space, and involuntarily moved towards the position of the "fool"!

Transferring one's will between the puppet and the main body is the basic skill of the "Puppet Master"!

For the first time, there was obvious surprise on Bethel's face.

Just when Crane was completely overwhelmed by countless extraordinary abilities, Bethel was also dragged close to the high-backed chair, and in an instant, an illusory star door opened in all directions of him, resisting the suction, and giving him a chance to breathe into a certain door to escape.

In Bethel's opinion, Crane's suicidal behavior just now is to die with him, once they are sucked by the high-backed chair and forced to gather, none of them can become the master of mystery, and the lord of mystery will eat all their souls and return!

Silently, the star doors opened at the same time, but in the vast darkness behind the doors, slippery and evil tentacles rushed out one after another, rushing out from all directions, blocking the direction of Bethel's departure and making him unable to move.

At the top of these tentacles, a little bit of bright starlight lit up.

The source of these tentacles was Antigonus, who was sitting in the seat of the "Fool", and at that moment, he slowly stood up, with a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth, a little similar but not similar to Crane, and threw something into Bethel's arms.

Immediately afterward, Bethel's eyes glazed over, and the serious expression on his frown froze.

At the same time, Antigonus's face, the cold and strange mask squirmed.

"Blind Foolishness" effect!

In the next second, he "grafted" himself with a certain concept in the starry sky, and used the power of "fooling" to affect the corresponding environment.

The slippery tentacles around him bent like a revolver, aiming at Bethel, who was trapped by his tentacles.

The orange-red star suddenly reappeared in Bethel's sparkling starry eye, and the supernova exploded.

An unimaginable, unusually fiery sea of light rushed out, shattering his body and drowning everything in the Source Castle.

……

Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.

The tsunami-like sea of gray-white mist gradually returned to calm, and there was only one "mystery" left to give the source fort orders.

…… Or rather, two.

If he had a choice, of course, he didn't want to sacrifice himself, but wanted to look at the world and look at life to find the meaning of their existence.

After being relieved, Antigonus's face, who was standing quietly in front of the "Fool's" high-backed chair, suddenly distorted, and the cold and strange mask became real again, and Antigonus's face quickly appeared with the characteristics of Klein Moretti.

Under the translucent dark cloak of his body, the slippery and evil tentacles that extended either slapped the ground or raised high, were not under his control at all.

He could feel that the "Lord of Mysteries" in him was not very satisfied with the stage performance this time, but he still laughed a few times after seeing him the final victor, making it difficult to understand what he really thought.

Even if Klein dies directly with this will, and then relies on the ability of the "miracle master" to resurrect, he can't get rid of it, because the "master of mystery" also holds the authority of "miracles".

In the next second, in the spirit world, one ray of light was pulled by invisible gravity and came straight towards Klein.

They are insects made of bright starlight, starlight apparitions covered with illusory "door" symbols, and even a bright and dazzling key.

His body swelled into a balloon, and then suddenly thinned into a paper figure, and so on, and so on.

The mask on his face grew brighter and more eerie, and the slippery tentacles that extended from under his cloak became more and more uncontrollable.

One serving of the extraordinary properties of the "Key of the Stars", two servings of ...... Crane's spirit was like being bitten and devoured by an invisible monster, producing quite intense pain.

He lacks a "secret attendant", so he must choose to become a god through the "door".

"It's a pity that you've wasted a lot of time."

The Lord of Secrets said leisurely, "You have had everything from Him a long time ago, and it would be better to kill Him at that time." ”

Crane didn't speak, silently enduring the forcible fusion of potions he had never played digested. Eventually, a pair of eyeballs that seemed to be made of pure starlight and contained layers of illusory doors ran towards Crane's face, to the masked's eye sockets.

In an instant, two more starlight eyes appeared on the mask.

Without giving Klein half a moment to react, the mask was directly buckled to his face!

Almost at the same time, a strange light door stained with a little blue and black appeared on Crane's body.

"Fort of the Source"!

At this moment, the uniqueness of Klein, the "Source Castle", the "Gate", and the uniqueness of the "Fool" had an extremely strong tendency to converge.

Crane jerked his right hand and covered half of his face.

His whole body bent down, as if he was fighting against his alter self.

With a bang, the entire spirit world shook, and the eyeballs on the mask turned up and down, and finally stabilized and looked ahead. The mask slowly faded, but Crane's eyes were no longer the dark color they used to be, but were dyed with an eerie and dazzling bright color.

Countless doors kept opening and closing in the Source Castle, and in less than a second after becoming the "door", he became a "fool" again, a true god of the two paths.

However, since he was in the Source Castle, the godhood ceremony of the "Gate" had already been completed once in the outside world, and it did not have much impact now. But as soon as he leaves the Source Fort and enters the real world, the "Fool" proclamation will come immediately.

It's not something he can control.

Relying on the believers and his own beliefs, as well as the idea that the Lord of Mysteries did not intend to interfere for the time being, Crane finally eased up a little, he withstood the violent spiritual impact of this moment, and did not lose himself instantly, becoming a part of the Lord of Mysteries.

"Huh."

Klein chuckled unsteadily.

"It's okay to do anything, you've been there anyway. If I had done it then, you'd have woken up sooner...... Who knows? ”

Immediately afterward, Crane left the "Source Castle" and stepped into the astral realm of symbolism and authority.

For example, if you see a sun-like star hanging in the distance, emitting normal light and heat, if you try to get close and not be damaged, you will find that the astral boundary there is like a black curtain, the sun is directly depicted in oil paint, and a bunch of concepts and symbols are gathered around.

Moreover, the sun was very well drawn, round and bright.

On another level, this may be the embodiment of the chaotic madness of the underlying rules.

As soon as Klein entered here, he immediately felt an invisible gaze.

Some of them come from areas protected by the world's barriers, while others originate from a wider area with obvious malice.

The corners of Crane's mouth curled uncontrollably, and he suddenly turned his head sideways, with a strong light in his eyes that could not be ignored, and looked back beyond the world barrier, raising the slippery and evil tentacles.

Suddenly, all the gazes from the starry sky retreated, leaving only a round of hand-painted red moon still hanging there, flickering with light.

"Haha...... Alas, alas. Klein laughed.

He stood silently in the spirit realm, not moving for a moment, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, a figure slowly walked from a distance, and Crane turned to greet him with a smile, but the other party's face was dark, and his whole body was full of anger and unhappiness, as if someone owed him extraordinary characteristics worth hundreds of millions.

TBC

——————

Bethel Abraham looked at Klein with a complex expression of inquiry and suspicion, suspicion and a bit of disgust and recognition.

Klein still greeted him with a smile, but which pot was not opened:

"Do miracle masters still have to get used to it?"

“…… Thanks to you, I was used to it once before. Bethel snorted, turned his head and didn't bother to look at him, "What do you want me to do, if you lack a secret puppet, just do it directly, I believe that a secret puppet with true god strength is still very useful." ”

"Mr. Bethel, you should be able to understand what I mean."

Klein pinched the sides of his cheeks, and the somewhat uncontrollable smile on his face was pinched back into a serious expression. He said earnestly: "My strength is far from enough, and one day I will become a part of Him." At that time, I will do my best to control myself and hand over my extraordinary characteristics to you, and I hope that you will succeed me as the Master of Mysteries. ”

Bethel turned his head back, looked Klein up and down, and finally sneered.

"You're going to die, so give it to me?"

"I don't want to, I don't accept the position you give me."

"It's not a handout, it's a request." Crane sighed, "As a human from a bygone era, I ask you to remember that our world once existed, as Klein Moretti, or Zhou Mingrui. I hope you can remember that I lived and worked hard. ”

"I once became the Lord of Mysteries as a human being, and I don't regret it even when I die, but I will regret that I can't last longer, so I hope you can become the next Lord of Mysteries."

After two seconds of silence, Klein heard a mysterious yawn, and emphasized again:

"This is my request."

Bethel listened to Klein's words with a frown, and only then snorted at the end, not accepting or refuting.

“…… When you've gathered all the Fools, give me the key to the stars. ”

"Thank you."
