Chapter 1146: A Real Charlatan
As she passed through the illusory door, Trissy hid herself and jumped
down from the cliff at the entrance, towards the dark valley below.
The secret mausoleum that originated from Blood Emperor Tudor was hidden
here.
During the descent, Trissy's body was as light as a feather. She lost
most of her weight, but her speed was in no way slow.
None of the remaining guards noticed that she had sneaked in.
Just as Trissy was approaching her target, she heard a voice say,
"Concealment is prohibited here."
Trissy's figure instantly appeared out of nowhere. And in the area above
the towering mausoleum in the dark valley, there was a man who had
appeared at some point in time.
This man had a long, rectangular face with a white hairband on his head.
He had a mustache that curled up around his mouth, and his brows were
extremely thick, setting off his relatively large eyes.
He was dressed in formal attire and wore a cloak. The tips of his shoes
were extremely long, and his attire didn't seem to match the times. He
was the demigod who supported George III, Prince Grove.
On the head of this Sequence 3 Chaos Hunter, there was a crown made of
thorns. Pure light constantly gathered into the crown, interweaving into
a "sea."
Sealed Artifact 0-36.
Klein swam beneath the Tussock River when an image suddenly appeared in
his mind just as he led his marionette, Qonas and Enuni, through the
illusory door.
A black cathedral stood in front of them with its spacious door opened,
revealing a man in a pair of dungarees, a gentleman in a formal suit and
top hat, a lady with frilly designs along her sleeves, and a lady whose
dress formed flowers with laces...
They were suspended in midair, motionless.
"Caw!" "Caw!" "Caw!"
Black ravens circled the top of the cathedral, letting out
heart-stopping cries.
Without making any guesses, Klein felt like he had fallen into a crack
on a frozen lake. His body turned cold as his hair stood on end.
Countless thoughts surged in his mind as they collectively shouted out a
name:
Zaratul!
In the blink of an eye, Klein instinctively made a decision. He planned
to switch locations with his marionettes from the outside world, and
directly leave the "cathedral" in front of him.
Clearly, he had encountered a "miracle." He didn't enter George III's
secret mausoleum after passing through the illusory door; instead, he
had come to a baffling place.
In the next second, he discovered that the Spirit Body Threads that were
connected to his marionettes had been severed. They were rapidly
floating upwards towards the interior of the pitch-black cathedral.
If it wasn't for his intuition that exceeded his own level, allowing him
to detect danger ahead of time, he definitely wouldn't have been able to
react in time. He definitely would've been hung up and become a member
of the marionettes.
He didn't have time to think too much about it. He quickly controlled
his Spirit Body Threads and collected them all, connecting them to
himself, forming one "circle" after another.
This allowed him to temporarily extricate himself from the danger, but
it also made him lose his marionettes, Qonas, and Enuni, in just a
second.
The two marionettes' necks suddenly tightened as they were lifted up by
an invisible hand before being hung up in the cathedral's interior.
Together with the original corpses, they swayed in the wind and produced
voices that were different but said the exact same thing:
"Welcome back..."
In Memorial Square, the "imagined" King George III was still giving a
speech.
"...I will further lower the wealth requirements needed for election
eligibility. I will hand over even more rights to the House of
Commons..."
Although the people didn't understand why there was such a development
in the speech, it sounded good to them.
These are all bills that have been approved by the House of Lords, but
there's no need to tell the public during this speech... It's like the
King is emphasizing that he will definitely follow these bills in the
future... Audrey was puzzled, but she couldn't come up with a convincing
explanation.
In the dark and majestic secret Ruins No. 1 in the outskirts of
Backlund.
The real George III had already worn a black crown and consumed the
potion.
"His" body was transforming towards the shadow of order, extending in a
magical state. As for the nine mausoleums, they were the islands in the
sea of nothingness. They were the components of his entire rule. As for
the people who were chanting "Emperor George III" at the same time
during the ritual, there were like countless numbers of lighthouses.
Together, they "anchored" this ruler of Loen, East Balam, and the
Rorsted Archipelago, making "Him" completely transcend reality and
become a part of the shadow of order.
During this process, George III's thoughts wandered uncontrollably as
though they were being torn apart:
The Secret Order's Zaratul actually contacted me directly, hoping to
provide me with help...
"He" said that "He" saw some of Gehrman Sparrow's thoughts from the
Capim case, the attack on Ailment Maiden, the silencing of Crazy
Captain, and Qonas Kilgor's disappearance. And "His" divination results
made "Him" cooperate with me, offering to help me guard a mausoleum.
There, "He" waited for Gehrman Sparrow to take the initiative to walk to
"Him," because of his own goals and the law of convergence of Beyonder
characteristics...
"He" also said that the most important thing to do when dealing with a
qualified demigod of the Seer pathway is to be patient and determined...
What a charlatan...
"He" even brought Abomination Suah...
I used my powers to sign a contract with "Them"...
Together with the helpers I invited from the Twilight Hermit Order, as
well as Grove, who wields a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, even if most of the
demigods of the military and royal family are fighting at the front
lines or protecting Backlund, I don't have to worry about the ritual
being destroyed. Unless a true deity descends into the real world...
And that's impossible... So, I originally wanted to use this opportunity
to lure out any resistance, but in the end, I decided to use this
opportunity to directly advance...
Heh heh, since Grove still doesn't know about these hidden cards. Well,
he has no right to know...
In less than two minutes, I'll become an eternal god, the Black Emperor
who rules over reality...
"Caw!" "Caw!" "Caw!"
In the dark world with the ravens' cawing, the corpses hanging from the
black top of the church descended and passed through the main door.
Their eyes were locked onto Klein, who was outside.
Almost at the same time, a figure slowly but firmly outlined itself in
midair.
Without caring about what it was, Klein quickly snapped his fingers
while maintaining the special state of his Spirit Body Threads.
Pa!
A red flame surged out from his wallet and instantly enveloped him.
The flame was quickly extinguished, and Klein remained where he was,
unable to leap out.
He didn't show any signs of being depressed as he immediately activated
Creeping Hunger to attempt to teleport.
Klein instantly turned transparent as he appeared again, unable to take
a single step.
His origin and destination had strangely been connected.
At that moment, the figure in midair had already taken form. He was
dressed in gorgeous clothes, with long chestnut-colored curly hair, blue
eyes, high nose bridge, and thin lips. He was none other than the
Roselle Gustav from when he was an emperor.
"He" looked down at Klein as countless illusory symbols appeared in his
eyes.
Klein's mind instantly swelled as he was injected with a large amount of
unknown knowledge.
His head felt like it was exploding in an instant while his other
thoughts were completely occupied, so much so that he couldn't even lift
a finger.
Instinctively, he allowed that knowledge to split up and become injected
into hundreds of Worms of Spirit.
This allowed him to regain his ability to control his body as he quickly
grabbed the space ahead of him with his right hand.
His arm suddenly sank, and then he suddenly pulled back. When the
marionettes passed through the cathedral's door and began their attacks,
another two figures appeared in midair, dragging out a scaleless,
silvery-white tail.
As he released his right hand, a giant serpent appeared in this dark
kingdom.
"His" eyes were bright red and cold, and his body was covered in
patterns and symbols. There were countless wheels in the details.
Snake of Fate!
Actually, this wasn't something that Klein could summon out from the
Historical Void. Instead, it was Will Auceptin descending with the
burning of the paper crane after using the Yesterday Once More charm.
Klein had just used Flaming Jump moments ago to seek help from the Snake
of Fate.
And the reason why he wanted to "grab" at something was to conceal his
true intentions. It was to prevent the opposing angel from discovering
the location of the Snake of Fate, putting Dr. Aaron's family in danger.
This wasn't like how he had previously dealt with Amon's avatar back
then, as he had no confidence in eliminating all the clues. Therefore,
he had discussed with Will in advance on how to deal with such
situations.
Fortunately, the intent Will Auceptin expressed indicated that the truth
of the "summoning" from before hadn't been exposed.
At that moment, the gigantic Snake of Mercury rose up and bit its tail,
turning into a mysterious and exaggerated wheel.
In midair, two figures appeared on both sides of Roselle's projection.
One of them was Queen Mystic Bernadette, whose real body was in an
intense battle with Sequence 1 Hand of Order William Augustus I. The
other was formed from pure light, and a pair of shining wings grew on
his back. It was obviously at the level of an angel!
Suddenly, the two angel projections that appeared quickly vanished. The
attacks they directed at Klein, and the controlled marionettes,
retreated back into the cathedral and were hung up again.
Qonas and Enuni walked out one after another. With him, they passed
backward through the illusory door and left the world with resonating
cawing, appearing beneath the Tussock River.
Snake of Fate. Reboot!
The giant serpent's figure vanished as well. Without any hesitation,
Klein activated "Teleportation" and passed through countless spirit
world creatures to another secret mausoleum. He used the remaining blood
to outline the symbol and opened the illusory door.
This time, he entered the interior and saw a solemn and dark mausoleum.
He summoned the Sea God Scepter and released a terrifying "Lightning
Storm," again and again, destroying the target.
Then, he turned around and left the scene.
Everything went so smoothly, just like a dream.
Yes, a beautiful dream.
Klein, who could always maintain his lucidity in dreams, had realized
that he was in a real dream created by someone else the moment he
entered the ruins where the secret mausoleum was!
