Chapter 802: Follow-up Solutions

When Klein opened his eyes again, the threats and pleas in his mind had

vanished. The light-blue flame before his eyes continued burning on that

pitch-black wick.

He seriously inspected the state of his Spirit Body and confirmed that

the signs of chaos were gone. His aura's colors had turned pure and were

no longer spotted.

It's finally resolved... Klein heaved a sigh of relief and

lowered the Sea God Scepter. With a snap of his fingers, he extinguished

the Mental Terror Candle.

He didn't immediately return to the real world. He sat quietly above the

gray fog as he used the silent palace to calm the remnant negative

emotions that his inner heart couldn't vent.

After this matter, Klein gained a deeper understanding that the path of

a Beyonder was a path that constantly fought with madness. All Beyonders

would be pushed to the brink of losing control, or they would have

psychological problems if they weren't careful due to internal reasons

or external stimuli. And once the symptoms appeared, not resolving them

in time might leave them in a situation that would be abnormally

difficult to resolve.

*The split personality that was created was a result of internal and

external factors... The cause is a result of me being a transmigrator.

Yet, I fused with Klein Moretti's memory fragments and received parts of

his emotions. I was naturally inclined to having a dissociation.

Together with me trying to steal the Antigonus family's notebook

recently, it's akin to me walking along the boundary of an abyss to act

as Dwayne Dantès. The stress is immense, so after being agitated and

mentally corrupted by the Keeper's near loss of control, the problem

erupted...* As Klein raised his hand to rub his temples, he

vanished from above the gray fog.

Just as he returned to his body, Klein felt his mind and spirit were a

lot more relaxed. It felt like a dusty window had been carefully wiped

clean, and the additional Faceless potion he had consumed was fully

digested.

*The alternate personality that appeared is really a result of all the

past psychological problems. I was able to resolve the problem with the

Mental Terror Candle, which is equivalent to receiving a complete and

effective Psychoanalysis. I wouldn't have any latent risks in this

aspect in the short term. However, I need to be constantly taking notes

and frequently regulating myself. I mustn't be careless...*

Klein walked out of the washroom, came to the balcony, and looked at the

distant mountains and nearby vegetation. He was in quite good condition.

He could clearly sense that his self-recognition and self-acknowledgment

had deepened. The constant sense of disidentification had greatly

weakened as a result.

*I never expected my victory over my split personality would bring such

benefits... If it wasn't because the generation of another split

personality would result in one that's stronger and harder to deal with,

I would've wished to split a few personalities, killing "myself" several

times...* Klein shook his head with a scoff as he gave a

self-deprecating laugh.

To be frank, just one instance of a split personality was rather

dangerous and unresolvable for anyone else. Since he was aware of where

to acquire the Mental Terror Candle, the essence of the problem, and his

experience in resolving it in the past, he was able to eliminate the

latent risks and not allow his split personality to strengthen itself.

Otherwise, the best outcome would be the state in which Bishop Utravsky

was in, and the worst outcome would be a gradual loss of control until

it became an inevitability.

Furthermore, I still have a Psychiatrist as backup... Klein

chuckled as he strolled back to his room and sat in a reclining chair.

He recalled what he had encountered during the day, and from there, he

obtained the points that he needed to take note of in the future.

*If a Mid-Sequence Beyonder of the Sleepless pathway loses control, they

will be able to directly cause mental corruption by pulling others into

a dream. I need to be wary of that in the future...*

*Before becoming a High-Sequence Beyonder, the Rampagers of most

pathways aren't capable of doing this. Often, they will mutate into

monsters and use the corresponding Beyonder powers to control or attack

their targets. It's difficult for them to transmit their

corruption.*

*Apart from the Mid-Sequence Beyonders from the Sleepless pathway, the

Spectator pathway should be capable of doing so as well... When faced

with similar enemies, not rushing to wipe them out would really result

in a situation where you have no way of defending yourself... Also,

although I'm aware of the Keepers' conditions and have figured out their

relationship with the core seal, the corresponding problems have arisen.

If I were to disguise myself and infiltrate inside, how should I create

the performance of being eroded by the core seal and not have my

disguise be seen through...* Klein carefully contemplated for a

moment and was completely out of ideas. All he could do was stand up,

walk to his desk, and draw a picture comprising of symbols that implied

concealment and mystery prying.

He was summoning Arrodes.

The full-body mirror in the master bedroom suddenly undulated with

invisible waves as silver light appeared, forming Loenese text:

"Exalted Great Master, your loyal and humble servant, Arrodes, is

constantly at your service.

"My actions from before had caused a certain damage to your image. I-I'm

very appalled and ashamed. Will you accept my apology?"

You actually know to admit your faults... Klein scoffed and

said, "Don't make the same mistake again in the future."

"Alright!" The full-body mirror presented new words. "How may I be of

service?"

"There's something." Klein deliberated and said, "The Keepers of the

Church of Evernight are contaminated by the core seal's power behind

Chanis Gate. They are in different conditions from the typical Beyonder.

Is there any way to perfect a disguise?"

The silver words changed and outlined new text:

"Great Master, there's only one method---to sacrifice your marionette

and allow it to receive the contamination of the core seal. It will

gradually change and become identical to the Keepers. Then, you can hold

it in your body to fool the core seal."

*That actually works... It's an idea... However, a marionette that's

made from a Sequence 5 Wraith can't be bought with money... I really

need to pay an extremely high price to obtain the High-Sequence potion

formulas and ingredients...* Klein thought and said, "Then, how

do I get the marionette to receive the core seal's contamination?"

Typically speaking, a Wraith marionette might be detected by the seal

before being forcefully purified and dispelled just as it approached

Chanis Gate, or even just appear in the prayer hall.

The full-body mirror's waves stirred again as it accentuated a figure.

The figure wore an old-fashioned veiled hat. She was tall with long,

chestnut hair. She was none other than Queen Mystic, Bernadette.

"Great Master, you can seek her help," Arrodes explained with a sentence

made from silver words.

*Her? Queen Mystic isn't from the Evernight pathway. How can she provide

any help? Or does she have a Sealed Artifact that corresponds to the

High Sequences of the Evernight pathway, making it similar to the core

seal behind Chanis Gate? Thankfully, Admiral of Stars needs a drop of

blood from a Mythical Creature. When the time comes, apart from

providing an item that can satisfy Will Auceptin, there's still a

middleman fee for me... This will be the middleman fee!* Klein

thought as he nodded and said, "Very good, you may return."

"Yes, Exalted Great Master. Your humble servant, Arrodes, awaits your

next summoning." As a silver line of text appeared, Arrodes outlined a

palm with a handkerchief in hand as it shook it.

The corners of Klein's mouth twitched as he looked at it, momentarily

unsure how to respond.

West Borough, within the Odora family's villa.

Emlyn White wore a faint smile as he randomly found a single-seater to

sit in the activity room.

Diagonally across him, another Sanguine Baron, Rus Báthory, was holding

a wine cup filled with blood. He was observing him with narrowed eyes,

without concealing his disgust and hatred. Rus Báthory had not only been

injured during the hunt for the first Primordial Moon believer, but he

also had Emlyn steal away his spoils of war.

Such an act from you will only please me... Emlyn chuckled

inwardly as he turned his head to look at Cosmi Odora who had just

entered. He waited for the Baron to declare the results and reward him.

Cosmi forced himself to ignore Emlyn's gaze as he walked to the

fireplace and said to all the Sanguine present, "I'm gathering all of

you today because the final victor has emerged for the hunting

competition."

Who is it? The Sanguines looked around as they exchanged

looks, guessing at who could've clinched victory.

Most of their gazes landed on Rus Báthory, with no one believing that it

could be Emlyn White. Only Rus Báthory had a hunch as he looked in

surprise at the darn fellow.

Cosmi secretly sighed and said, "Emlyn White has already hunted three

targets, automatically clinching victory."

"What?" a young Sanguine blurted out in disbelief.

The Sanguine was a race with fewer members than humans. In Backlund,

they were all part of a smaller community; therefore, they weren't

unfamiliar with each other.

Everyone knew what kind of Sanguine Emlyn was!
