Chapter 32: "Madness"
Amon and the strange light gate were "grafted" together.
His face was then distorted and darkened.
At the same time, more slippery tentacles sprang out from under his classical black robe, and the feeling of madness was overflowing.
Just as Klein was about to cut off Amon from the Source Castle and keep him at the same level of madness as he was, the corners of Amon's mouth curled.
It's like saying:
"Congratulations, you've hit the trap. ”
His face was suddenly covered with a translucent mask that was close to the uniqueness of the "Fool", but more illusory.
Klein's spirit tightened up, and he didn't think about it, and immediately recklessly used the "fool" authority again.
But before he could react, his thoughts stalled, and the whole person was in a stupid state of not knowing what to do.
"Fool"!
Amon actually used his brief "reorganization" with the "Source Castle" to get rid of Klein's interference and mobilize the power of the "Fool" realm.
Such a demeanor completely transcends instinct and is more like an elaborate trap.
Amon doesn't seem crazy enough!
This true god of the dual path of "error" and "door" immediately untied his "grafting" with the "Source Castle", causing the strange light gate that was stained with a little blue and black to quickly fade and disappear, so as not to be further polluted.
Dealing with this hidden danger, Amon raised his hands, thumb to thumb, index finger to index finger, and circled an ellipse.
In the oval, the starlight lit up, just encompassing Klein's figure.
Immediately after, Amon's hands slammed apart to the sides, as if tearing at something, so heavy that it seemed a little heavy.
The area where Klein's body was located seemed to turn into glass with the stabbing sound of a piece of paper shattering, and in the strong blow, countless cracks appeared, cracking inch by inch.
This is a kind of spatial degradation and destruction, and Crane's body is simply unable to bear it, and can only turn into confetti flying in the sky again and again as the surrounding void collapses and shatters, and these confetti are always engulfed in darkness in an instant.
By the time the collapse of the space stopped, Crane's paper figurines were almost exhausted.
Of course, he also relied on his own "fool" personality and characteristics to forcibly get rid of the effect of "blind foolishness".
At this time, Amon has been split into countless figures, some of them are pure clones, some belong to the symbolic level of replication, and some are afterimages left after constantly "flashing" and constantly making movements.
At this moment, the sky above Klein and the surrounding wilderness were filled with Amun, who were densely packed with peaked hats and monocles, blocking every loophole.
Some of these Amun turned into mottled ancient blue and black wall clocks, some turned into pure starlight, as if to create a cage, some stretched out their palms and did different levels of "stealing", some monocles glowed, using a variety of things that had been stolen, and some simulated all kinds of abilities, or restrictions, or interference, or attacks.
- In the "Stealer" path, "stealing" is the core skill and one of the main symbols, and it differs from the "Spirit Line" manipulation of the "Fortune Teller" in that as the sequence increases, it not only increases its effectiveness and efficiency, but also gains a deeper conceptual level:
In Sequence 9 to Sequence 7, the "stealing" is the item, in Sequence 6, the "stealing" is extraordinary ability, after being promoted to Sequence 5, the "stealing" is the thoughts and ideas, and in Sequence 4 and Sequence 3, the "stealing" is life, including parasitic theft at the physical level, and with the Sequence 2 level, the scope of "stealing" can be expanded to fate, identity, self-knowledge, and extraordinary characteristics, and as for Sequence 1, even time, anchor, and authority can be "stolen" for a short time.
Therefore, when "wrong" confronts the true God, it will also use "stealing" that has risen to the level of authority.
At the sound of the voice, the ancient wall clocks paused at the same time.
This brought about the solidification of the surrounding environment, making the shattered wilderness under the impact of the "stars" extremely quiet, and even the destruction was frozen.
At this moment, Crane seemed to have lost his body, leaving only a translucent dark cloak and an eerily cold mask.
Beneath the cloak and mask, there was darkness and darkness, and nothing could be seen, except for slippery tentacles stretched out one after another.
In this state, Klein seemed to be free from the constraints of time, and in the frozen environment, he swayed like a fish, and drilled out of the encirclement of Amun through various real or conceptual gaps.
Once again, he used the power of "fooling".
This time, it was time that he "fooled".
The ancient wall clocks disappeared one by one, and time flowed again in the almost completely collapsed wilderness. The Amuns each aborted their attempts, and suddenly gathered as one, "flashing" behind Crane, leaving him no respite.
He reached out with his left palm and clenched his fingers as his arm retracted.
Around Klein, the space was clouded and became like layers of tulle.
The "tulle" twisted and reassembled, as if to form a cage strong enough to trap Klein inside.
Above the cage, an illusory door stood out, moving quickly and refusing to be fixed.
However, Crane's figure suddenly appeared outside the cage, as if it had never been sealed by Amon with 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" God 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 "Tianzun" would further awaken.
Again, this is a serious problem.
At that moment, a huge, crystal-ground monocle appeared in front of his eyes.
On this monocle, layers of sparkling waves poured out wildly, instantly submerging him.
Klein's mental state suddenly stabilized, but at the cost of losing his different emotions and various desires, he didn't even want to resist, he just wanted to stand quietly and wait for destruction to come.
It's like a normal person being injected with a large dose of sedative.
At the same time, in the layers of light, an illusory book stood out.
The book was spread out, revealing a passage:
"Klein Moretti has been suffering from the mental contamination of the 'Master of Mysteries' and has been in pain and exhaustion. After a fierce battle, he finally reached his limit under the influence of the spiritual level and decided to give up and stop resisting. ”
Behind the huge, crystal-ground monocle, Amun, wearing a peaked soft hat and a classical black robe, quickly sketched out, like a mountain.
He looked at Klein, who had given up resistance, his eyes darkened and lightened, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly:
"I stole it. How does it feel?"
Klein looked up at the "wrong" gentleman, and after a little effort opened his mouth, he said weakly:
"You, cheating from the beginning?"
Amon raised his hands and said with a smile:
"It's a pity that you understood too late. ”
He circled an ellipse with thumb to thumb and index finger to index finger.
In the oval, the starlight lit up, reflecting Klein's figure.
Immediately after, Amon parted his hands heavily, tearing apart the void on which Crane and his surroundings depended.
The void is like glass, cracking apart piece by piece, shattering inch by inch, and the high-rise building collapses like destruction.
However, all the collapse, all the destruction, went around Klein's body, and it didn't directly affect him.
He was like a small fishing boat sailing steadily in the storm, so abrupt, so incongruous, it seemed that it should not belong here.
Amon raised his hand and straightened the monocle that was clipped to the socket of his right eye, and the smile on his face faded slightly.
On the translucent cloak on Klein's body, dense bulges continue to arise, and then disappear.
He looked at the mountain-like Amon, and his eyes seemed to darken:
"From the moment you enter the 'Source Fort' and say the first word, you start the fraud".
At that time, Amon said that he had taken the risk of letting go of the suppression of the will of the "Lord of Mysteries" in his body, in exchange for the identity of the master of the "Source Castle".
At this moment, Amon did not seize the opportunity to continue attacking Crane, he floated in the air, looking down at the "fool" gentleman.
Klein also made no other attempts, and his tone was eerily calm, as if something was brewing:
"If you let go of the suppression of the will of the 'Lord of Mystery' and enter the 'Source Castle' at the cost of half-madness, Antigonus at the beginning can do it, and so can the earlier 'Demon Wolf of Destruction' Fregel, and you and Mr. 'Gate' before you also have countless opportunities.
"Obviously, simply reviving the 'Master of Mystery' to a certain extent, with half-madness and 'mistakes', there is no way to invade the 'Source Castle', and you can't find a 'bug' to use in this matter, unless you directly let him replace you.
"It's not until you have the authority to enter the 'door' that you see hope: by creating a backdoor and using the 'bug', the 'Source Fort' will treat you as the 'master of mysteries' and give you permission.
"Of course, this will definitely require the revival of the 'Master of Mystery' to a rather dangerous level, and without this hidden identity, you will not be able to defraud the 'Source Castle' out of thin air.
"After accommodating the uniqueness of the 'Gate', you didn't immediately sneak into the 'Source Castle' to deal with me, who was even weaker at the time, because at that time, you, who had just been promoted, were completely unable to withstand the further awakening of the will of the 'Master of Mystery'.
"I think you should have found a relatively safer way, if I hadn't been promoted to 'Fool' so quickly, in a while, you would have been able to enter the 'Source Fort' in the best condition and solve everything, and now, you have to advance this plan, there must be some very serious problems in you.
"You took the initiative to throw the price of half-madness, on the one hand, to induce me to think about countermeasures at this point, to lay a deadly trap in key places, and on the other hand, to divert attention and cover up other problems.
"You're not half-crazy at all. ”
Amon listened quietly to what Klein said, rather unusually, he didn't interrupt halfway, didn't try to attack, and waited until the other party was over, he said with a slightly strange expression:
"You're crazy. ”
