Chapter 1351: Seizing The Opportunity

While transmitting information to the Mandated Punishers, Alger quickly

came up with a plan in his mind:

He was to immediately pray to the Lord of Storms, hoping to obtain the

Lord's blessings or help. Then, he would immediately rush underground

and use his Beyonder powers to forcefully suppress the three Grade 1

Sealed Artifacts inside Azure Gate.

During this process, if the Lord of Storms responded to his prayers, or

if the abnormality regarding the seal's ended in time, there was

naturally no need for him to consider any other response. However, if

neither of the two outcomes occurred, and he began to find it difficult

to handle the situation, then he would seek Mr. Fool's help.

To Alger, once he had to do so, no matter what method he used or how he

concealed it, it would be difficult for him to escape the fate of being

suspected. After all, it was unbelievable for a single person to

suppress three Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts single-handedly.

When the time came, his only option was to immediately abandon his post

after the abnormality ended or the seal began working again. His

departure would waste all his years of diligence and hard work, causing

him to lose his post as cardinal which he had painstakingly obtained.

However, compared to his own life, this was a price he was willing to

pay.

As for the consequences resulting in him almost not having any chance of

obtaining the Book of Calamity, Alger didn't care about it at the

moment. He was still a great distance from considering such problems. Of

course, as a demigod of the Church of Storms and a cardinal, he believed

that he was definitely under the watch of the Lord of Storms. After

abandoning his job and escaping, he needed the protection of other

existences to survive. Otherwise, his outcome would be unimaginable.

And regarding this matter, he could only rely on Mr. Fool.

Taking a deep breath, Alger quickly chanted.

"The King ruling over the Skies, the Emperor who controls the Seas, the

Great God of Storms, I pray for your watch and pray for your blessings."

After chanting, Alger reached out with his hand, bringing with him a

hurricane as he flew underground.

About ten seconds later, outside the Cathedral of Waves, there was a

tidal wave that surged into the air.

The blue sea water poured down, enveloping the cathedral in a thick

barrier.

Inside the barrier, silver bolts of lightning flashed as they drilled

underground.

Rumble!

The lightning struck down like torrential rain, illuminating all of

Utopia, illuminating more than half of the Berserk Sea.

At that moment, a pitch-black cathedral with many embedded skulls

appeared in midair.

It was situated above Zaratul, and drew all the surrounding lightning

towards it, causing bolts of lightning to snake across the countless

white skulls, causing the stained glass to reflect a bright light.

Rumble!

In the places Adam's corpse cathedral couldn't shelter, Zaratul's

marionettes, Abomination Suah's historical projection, as well as

Klein's marionettes, were instantly obliterated by the tempestuous

lightning. Then, they either vanished or were reduced to tiny marks.

Even Roselle Gustav's historical projection that had turned into a flux

of information wasn't spared. A strong electromagnetic hurricane wreaked

havoc in this city, destroying all information structures.

Taking advantage of the moment the Visionary was fending off the Tyrant,

Zaratul took a step forward and entered the void ahead.

And this void was connected to another island---one "He" had previously

set in the Berserk Sea---using "His" Beyonder powers of an Attendant of

Mysteries. The distance between the two was reduced to zero.

The black-robed, hooded Zaratul quickly vanished into the void

illuminated by lightning. But in the next second, "He" didn't appear on

the distant island, but above the Irises Hotel in Utopia.

Just a moment ago, when Zaratul was stunned by the might of the storm,

Klein, who was in Sefirah Castle, took the opportunity to use the

"curtain" that was draped over his body and used the power of the

sefirah to forcefully "Graft" the void in front of his target to the

Irises Hotel. He had secretly changed Zaratul's key arrangement.

This was the suppression effect of a King of Angels against a Sequence 1

angel of the same pathway.

Rumble!

The ceaseless lightning smote down, enveloping Zaratul, who had long and

white whiskers on "His" face.

Zaratul's pitch-black eyes didn't show any change in expression. "His"

body rapidly faded and disappeared in the bolts of lightning.

"He" had only come in the form of a Historical Void projection.

"His" true body was hiding in a particular fragment in the fog of

history.

Sitting in The Fool's chair, Klein immediately cast his gaze at the

grayish-white fog below him, as well as the countless spots of light in

the fog.

He was temporarily unable to find Zaratul because the latter definitely

used a secret fragment of history that only "He" or a very small number

of existences knew. However, being unable to find "Him" didn't mean that

Klein could only watch and patiently wait until Zaratul reached "His"

limits and was unable to stay in the fog of history. As the owner of

Sefirah Castle and an existence with the level of a King of Angels,

Klein's preliminary control of the sefirah was already enough to

complete many things.

In the next second, Klein opened the box and summoned The Fool card,

accommodating it inside his body.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into The Fool who wore colorful

clothes and a gorgeous headdress. He exuded a deep, terrifying aura, as

well as a somewhat ridiculous feeling. The entire Sefirah Castle began

to shake gently.

Tak!

The Fool Klein held the end of the Staff of the Stars in his right hand

and struck the edge of the long mottled table.

In the real world, grayish-white fog appeared, one that had a

faintly-visible ancient palace situated high above.

In the ancient and majestic palace, a strange light formed from

countless spherical lights quickly outlined itself, emitting an

invisible and terrifying suction force.

The fog of history instantly boiled as Zaratul's figure quickly appeared

in a spot where Klein hadn't lit up. "He" was hoisted up without being

able to stop it.

Law of Beyonder characteristics convergence!

With the help of Sefirah Castle, Klein projected the convergence power

of Beyonder characteristics into the fog of history!

At this moment, Zaratul's black-robed and hooded figure collapsed and

became a pale paper figurine.

"His" true body appeared on another island in the Berserk Sea. "He"

quickly used the Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder powers to connect the

convergence inclination effect to various paper figurines.

Seizing the opportunity given to "Him" by the paper figurines, Zaratul

quickly made a wish:

"I wish for my Beyonder characteristic to temporarily calm down."

Just as "He" finished speaking and pressed "His" palms together, "He"

had already caught sight of "His" fulfilled wish. This allowed "Him" to

escape the suction force from Sefirah Castle, The Fool card, and the

Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic collective.

At the same time, "He" took a step back and accurately stepped on a

milky-white rock.

The stone had long been connected to somewhere else by "Him," and had

been solidified in some form.

As Zaratul stepped down, "His" figure instantly vanished. It was unknown

where "He" had gone, but the stone seemed to experience extreme

weathering as it disintegrated.

The Fool Klein cast his gaze down from an infinite height and scanned

his surroundings, but he couldn't find Zaratul.

This meant that the other party had left his line of sight.

Without any hesitation, Klein immediately placed his focus on something

else.

He had already made all the gems on the Staff of the Stars light up as

he simulated the Marauder pathway's ability to deceive rules. He changed

the location of his body's revival to a marionette that wasn't in

Utopia.

Previously, a few residents of Utopia had gone to other cities for

various reasons. By going there, they would further deepen their

relationship with the real world. Klein had chosen a travel enthusiast.

He was now in a particular mountain range.

As the second half of his "resurrection" was carried out, Klein took out

The Fool card. He summoned the nine unique spirit world specialties he

had prepared previously and placed them together with the "curtain."

Right on the heels of that, he used the Staff of the Stars to activate

the power of Sefirah Castle and once again simulated the powers of the

Marauder pathway's ability to deceive the rules, allowing the nine

spirit world specialties and that "curtain" to "become" a part of his

body.

In the next second, countless fragments of light appeared around the

marionette that was halfway up the mountain.

And inside the marionette's body, a Worm of Spirit flew out. It kept

fracturing and fused with the fragments of light.

Soon, the fragments of light condensed into a ball of light as it

solidified into Klein's figure.

Just as Klein's figure finished outlining, he turned into transparent

maggots that scattered in all directions, allowing the "curtain" and the

nine spirit world specialties to drop to the ground.

Then, the Worms of Spirit completed the reassembly process, and part of

them turned into a half top hat, a shirt, a vest, a formal suit, and

trousers.

Klein didn't waste any time. He immediately grabbed the "curtain" and

the specialties of the spirit world and began to carefully concoct the

potion.

To him, this was the best time to advance to Attendant of Mysteries.

On the one hand, the effects of the ritual had been completed with the

help of the Genie. This wouldn't last long, and it would gradually

disappear. On the other hand, Adam, who was most likely to destroy his

ritual, was being suppressed by the Lord of Storms and had no time to

interfere.

If he were to consume the potion and advance to Sequence 1 at any other

time, Klein was really worried that Visionary Adam would make use of the

sea of collective subconscious to inject a negative emotion into him at

a critical moment. That way, losing control was inevitable.

The reason why he had called Leodero wasn't to deal with Zaratul, but to

hold back the true god, Adam!

During the Attendant of Mysteries ritual, there was no way to use the

power of Sefirah Castle to produce a nascent form of a divine kingdom in

advance, isolating Klein from the outside world. This would result in

the ritual being unable to establish a connection with the corresponding

region in the spirit world, resulting in failure.

In less than ten seconds, a potion that was as dark as the night sea

appeared in Klein's palm. At the same time, the figure left in Sefirah

Castle snapped his fingers, granting the small number of wishes

accumulated in the prayer lights and the crimson stars, allowing him to

digest the last bit of his Miracle Invoker potion.

The figure inside Sefirah Castle immediately faded away, allowing

Klein's body to become complete so that he could consume the potion in

his best condition.

As the lightning lit up the sea once again, Klein raised his right hand

and brought the bottle that came from his marionette to his mouth. He

gulped down the potion that was as light as air.
