Chapter 1269: The Power of Wishes

Klein originally believed that the "Wishes" ability could be used freely

as long as it didn't exceed a limit. To his surprise, the effects didn't

solely come from the Beyonder characteristic.

To put it simply, a Miracle Invoker needed to seek out and satisfy all

kinds of wishes before they could make wishes and personally grant them

during battles, turning the corresponding situation into a reality.

Furthermore, at the very beginning, the wishes that Klein could fulfill

were small and trivial. He had to accumulate them one step at a time

before he could create a true miracle. He couldn't do as he wished.

*Yes, if I want to use Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar's wishing method to

teleport, I would have to first satisfy many similar wishes. It comes

from others, from simple to the more difficult wishes... I do have a

solution in this aspect. I can use Creeping Hunger and the Staff of the

Stars to fulfill the corresponding wishes. There's no need to start from

the simplest...*

*Speaking of which, the "Wishes" ability resembled using an anchor. It's

a type of "collective" ability. Since the faithful's understanding of

deities can effectively affect the deities and become a certain

"definition" for "Them," helping "Them" resist the Primordial One's

mental imprint in the Beyonder characteristics, in the same way, similar

wishes of different creatures with spirituality can indeed help me

create a miracle...*

*This might be related to the sea of collective subconscious. It's not

scientific enough, but it's fairly mystical...* After figuring

out the situation of the "Wishes" ability, Klein had a preliminary idea

of how to act as a Miracle Invoker.

That was to walk the real world, and as the most powerful "magician," he

would allow different people to witness a miracle and satisfy their

wishes.

*It's no wonder the Dark Demonic Wolf's original title was the God of

Wishes... When such a belief spreads, many people would use the method

of praying to voice out their wishes, allowing the Miracle Invoker to

respond from afar. This makes acting a lot simpler. It can save a lot of

time, but the problem is that the potion's name is Miracle Invoker and

not the God of Wishes. The role one needs to act as is that of a deity,

so there are still some differences between the two...*

*I can roam the various countries and let different people witness

miracles while using The Fool's name to satisfy some of the believers'

wishes. I'll then see which would be more effective...*

*However, this isn't the only way to act as a Miracle Invoker... I still

need to take the initiative to create a miracle in real life, leaving

behind the corresponding legend?* Klein tapped the edge of the

long mottled table with his finger as he silently muttered to himself.

During his scrutiny of his own body moments ago, he realized that he had

digested more than half of the potion. After all, he had created

miracles several times. He had even been "revived" three times.

Of course, Klein believed that it was very coincidental because he could

create a "miracle" and act in advance, mainly because of Sefirah Castle.

It's as though someone set me up... Klein sighed inwardly as

he didn't feel relaxed. Instead, he became more serious and wary.

As for who arranged it, he had a suspect.

The "Mysteries" that the ancient sun god mentioned, the existence

suspected to be "The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for

Blessings."

And what made Klein even more puzzled was that when he advanced to

Sequence 2 and became an angel, The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth

for Blessings didn't appear, neither did "He" awaken in his body after

he experienced the qualitative changes.

This was completely different from what he had expected.

*There weren't any traces of it at all. Apart from the initial mental

corruption from the Primordial One---something that will definitely

arrive---it should be the spiritual imprint left behind in the Beyonder

characteristic... Could it be that The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and

Earth for Blessings has completely perished despite making all the

arrangements? "He" doesn't have the ability to influence me and revive

from my body? If that's the case, then I have to thank "Him"!*

Klein teased himself and stood up with caution and puzzlement.

With this thought, he appeared on the grayish-white cloud and arrived in

front of the strange door of light.

Glancing at the transparent "cocoons" hanging above his head, Klein

slowly extended his right hand and touched the door of light.

When he truly became the owner of this mysterious space, he had clearly

realized a fact when he returned. It was that the strange door of light

was core to this place. It was Sefirah Castle in the truest sense of the

word, and this boundless void belonged to the divine kingdom that

Sefirah Castle came with.

As for the ancient palace, the twenty-two high-back chairs, the long

bronze table, and the items that the members of the Tarot Club usually

conjured, Klein believed that they were a manifestation of the "Wishes"

power.

In other words, back when he wanted a palace and a gathering place,

Sefirah Castle had satisfied his wish.

And because he didn't have a specific description of his wish, Sefirah

Castle had extracted scenes from similar wishes in the past. Klein

suspected that the ancient Greek palace and the twenty-two high-back

chairs were conjured by the existence that was suspected to be the

Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.

As he moved inch by inch, Klein pressed his right hand against the edge

of the door of light.

This time, his palm didn't directly pierce through it as he touched

something corporeal.

Suddenly, the door of light began to tremble slightly, along with the

hanging "cocoons" which contained human figures.

Above the grayish-white fog, there was only an ancient palace in the

endless void. Numerous skyscrapers rose rapidly. Cars appeared one after

another as pedestrians suddenly appeared.

In one of the residential districts, in an ordinary rental apartment,

there was a window illuminated by an energy-saving bulb that wasn't

bright enough.

This was what the old metropolis from before the First Epoch looked like

before the disaster. This was the place Klein had once lived.

Looking around, Klein sighed, letting everything disappear before his

eyes.

*Indeed, I can preliminarily use Sefirah Castle's powers... By relying

on this point, I would already be close to the level of a King of Angels

when I'm above the gray fog. Furthermore, the authority I show isn't

only that of Miracles, but also a portion of a Planeswalker and a Trojan

Horse of Destiny...*

*If I were to return to the real world, apart from being able to further

utilize Sefirah Castle's aura, I would be able to directly obtain a

portion of its powers... This should allow me to form a nascent divine

kingdom and reach Sequence 1 in here... Unfortunately, in reality, I

can't use the high-level Beyonder powers of Marauder and

Apprentice...* As Klein evaluated the situation, he cast his

gaze at the transparent cocoons hanging above the door of light.

He ultimately didn't release the people inside, because they would

definitely be used by Amon.

After confirming everything, Klein returned to the ancient palace and

sat on the high-back chair of The Fool.

He remembered that some of his memories were sealed, so he summoned the

piece of paper from the junk pile.

Upon opening it, Klein's eyes narrowed and his lips quivered as he

muttered to himself, "Great Old Ones, Outer Deities, Cosmos, Creator,

Above the Sequences... So that's how it is..."

At that moment, he completely understood the rationale behind the battle

of gods that had just ended. He understood the possible origins of the

apocalypse and understood why the seven deities had given tacit consent

to the birth of a Black Emperor, and their indifference towards the Red

Angel evil spirit's return to the real world.

*From the information provided by Leonard and Miss Justice, Loen

ultimately clinched victory. It's very likely that the God of Combat has

already perished... In other words, the Goddess has succeeded, but I

don't know what other conditions "She" is lacking to become a Great Old

One that's Above the Sequences... I'll summon Arrodes later to inquire

about the details of the situation and grasp the present

situation...* With this in mind, Klein recalled the various

details of the past and connected many matters together.

*Earth Mother, whose identity had been unknown, had succeeded in acting

as the Giant Queen Omebella for thousands of years without being

exposed. It's impossible without the help of Concealment... Man, the

Goddess has been plotting something like this from the Third Epoch or

even the end of the Second Epoch?*

W-why does this feel more terrifying than Amon...

*Yes, Concealment can only hide traces of various aspects. It can

mislead the corresponding prying and divination attempts, making it

impossible for a person to don a disguise. For the Earth Mother to be

able to pretend to be Omebella, without being suspected by the God of

Combat, there may be other factors involved... For example, a particular

existence helped "Her" steal the fate of the Giant Queen? At that time,

there was only one person who had the authority to participate in this

matter---the ancient sun god, the second Creator, Amon and Adam's

father...*

*If that's the case, the Goddess and the ancient sun god should've

cooperated from a long time ago. Until the new Creator awakened the

Primordial One in "Him"... This can also explain why the first existence

that Dark Angel Sasrir sought out was the Goddess. Of course,

Concealment is also an important factor...*

*Ever since I obtained the Uniqueness of the Death pathway, the Goddess

has been setting up the trap. On the one hand, "She" wants me to take

over the Numinous Episcopate's Artificial Death faction in Backlund to

pretend that everything is normal. On the other hand, "She" didn't deal

with the people or objects that might've discovered something was amiss,

resulting in the leak of information. This way, in the eyes of the God

of Combat, the situation became the Goddess trying "Her" best to conceal

the secret, but due to "Her" lack of control while digesting the

Uniqueness, "She" was unable to do so...*

*After that, be it tacitly acquiescing George III becoming the Black

Emperor, or the aid provided to me in destroying "His" ritual, the

Goddess doesn't care about the final outcome of the matter. "Her" main

goal was to show that "She" didn't have the ability to directly

interfere with the real world, further deepening the impression that

"She" was attempting to accommodate the Uniqueness of the Death

pathway...*

There are a lot of similar details...

*To the God of Combat, as "He" had a deeper understanding of the

Goddess, "He" definitely wasn't fully convinced in regards to this

matter. Therefore, "He" chose to take it safe by first shaking the

Goddess's anchors, allowing "Her" psyche to be corrupted. To "Him," this

definitely made "Her" divert a large portion of "Her" efforts to resist

the corruption before "He" chose to attack the Goddess together with

Earth Mother...*

*This... And it's because of this that "He" fell into the Goddess's

trap...*

*In other words, the true goal of the Goddess's various actions wasn't

to lay a trap with the Uniqueness of the Death pathway, but to let the

other deities place their focus on this matter, and ignore the

possibility that there was something wrong with Earth Mother...*

How terrifying...

Klein sighed from the bottom of his heart. He felt that Adam and Amon

were probably inferior to the Goddess when it came to horror.

He shook his head, conjured a pen and paper, and wrote his warning:

"Always remember you are a he, not a 'He.'"
