Itâs not Dark Angel Sasrir⊠The projection of Enuni has been eroded by the power that surged out from the Giant Kingâs residence, becoming a monster that I canât understand at the moment. Furthermore, it looks like it can exist for a long period of time⊠Perhaps thereâs a bit of Sasrirâs will involved in this⊠With his left hand covering his face, Klein allowed the Worms of Spirit to burrow through the gaps in his fingers freely.
What he couldnât understand the most was something else. He had clearly opened the palace where the Dark Angel lay slumber, but the deities and Kings of Angels showed no reaction.
According to Kleinâs imagination, when the surging 'seaâ gushed out, be it the True Creator, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Blasphemer Amon, or Amonâs brother who ultimately hid behind the scenes, âTheyâ shouldâve immediately descended or appeared to confirm Dark Angel Sasrirâs present state or snatch whatever corresponding items. To his surprise, the entire Giant Kingâs Court remained completely silent. No external powers exerted any influence.
Could it be that âTheyâ are still waiting for me to enter the Giant Kingâs residence and to come into contact with that deputy of Heaven? Hmm, the True Creator said to meet Sasrir⊠My Spirit Body and physical body havenât recovered from the corrosion, which means that the True Creatorâs goal has yet to be achieved⊠Haha⊠As Kleinâs thoughts raced, he realized that he was unable to control his emotions, be it anger, sadness, worry, or depression. He couldnât help but pull the corners of his mouth up and let out a scoff.
The only thing he was glad about was that this didnât affect his brain. He could still think and use all sorts of Beyonder powers, but sometimes, his madness would suddenly be aggravated, turning him rash and aggressive.
I wonder if the demigod of the mind has any way to treat this situation. In any case, the Sealed Artifacts or Beyonder characteristics that I can summon canât do it⊠This is a result of an incomplete spirit. If I donât resolve my severed shadow, I probably wonât be able to completely recover. However, perhaps there are methods that can allow me to temporarily return to normal. For example, create a virtual persona to make up for the incompleteness? Unfortunately, I canât enter Sefirah Castle⊠Kleinâs thoughts were in a mess as the scenes that surfaced in his mind gradually vanished.
He then picked up the half top hat that had dropped to the ground and wore it. Then, through the huge glass window formed from ground orange gems, he observed the changes in the Giant Kingâs Court.
Unlike before, an illusory sun appeared high in the sky, allowing the magnificent building complex situated in the frozen sunset to enjoy the sun at noon.
The troll statues that stood guard in the various palaces seemed to be draped with a cloak weaved out of shadows.
Enuni, who had a pair of black, illusory wings on his back, and the shadow that originally belonged to Klein jumped over the railing and glided towards him.
Kleinâs gaze froze as he subconsciously took a few steps forward, intending to fight the enemy.
But very quickly, he snapped back to his senses and checked his current state. He quickly retreated to the ancient âelevator,â pulled the switch, and landed back in the Barren Tunnel.
Then, with âBlink,â he appeared near the Waning Forest and ran all the way to the edge of the Giant Kingâs Court.
His intuition told him that in his current state, he had no means of defeating the mutated âEnuniâ and his separated shadow.
Of course, he had the confidence if it was just the latter.
When he arrived at the edge of the radiant sunlight, he turned and saw that Enuni and his shadow hadnât chased after him. It was as though there was a limit to their range of activity.
Thereâs no way to leave the Giant Kingâs residence, or should I say, be too far away from Dark Angel Sasrir? Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Klein saw the illusionary 'sunâ atop leap from the center to the west. The duskâs colors once again enveloped the divine kingdom.
Klein carefully observed all of this and was in no hurry to leave the Giant Kingâs Court.
Not long after, the illusory 'sunâ plunged into the palace where Dark Angel Sasrir slumbered. Darkness became the ruler of the Giant Kingâs Court.
The darkness was different from the one found on a normal nightâthere was no moon or starlight, only blurry shadows.
Standing in this darkness, Klein had a nagging feeling that someone was clinging to him from behind. However, he clearly knew that it was an illusion and didnât turn around recklessly.
A few minutes later, the illusory 'sunâ rose, and the light of dawn dispersed the darkness.
The power that surged out from the Dark Angelâs chamber has changed the Giant Kingâs Court despite it being an ancient divine kingdom⊠It really is a power thatâs close to that of a true deity. At the very least, it controls a âUniqueness,â but which pathwayâs Uniqueness would it be?
The generated changes include âBlazing Sun,â âDarkness,â âDegeneration,â and âMutation.â This is a little contradictory. It doesnât seem like the result of a single Uniqueness⊠Besides, the Uniqueness of the Sun pathway is definitely with the Eternal Blazing Sun⊠The âShadowâ and âDegenerationâ is brought about by âDarknessâ which is undoubtedly with the True Creator⊠When I opened the door, I saw an illusory, pitch-black, viscous ocean⊠Itâs related to the Chaos Sea? Klein shook his head as he continued observing. This continued on as he waited for the City of Silverâs expedition team to rendezvous with him.
âŠ
Backlund, at the border of the city.
As soon as Audrey entered, she discovered that the fog had become unusually thick. Visibility had been reduced to five meters.
The howling winds swept through the fog, bringing a sense of clarity from time to time. However, it was soon filled with surging whiteness.
Audreyâs eyes suddenly turned golden, allowing her to see even further.
As she carefully treaded, the fog in front of her suddenly became much thinner.
At the same time, her Beyonder powers suffered a retrogression.
The weakening of mysticism⊠The concepts and information previously mentioned by Mr. World flashed across her mind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Multiple salvos from Backlund fired ahead, causing the shells to leave trails of red, blue, silver, or black in their wake as they bombarded the enemyâs base.
However, in the next second, these shells encountered invisible barriers and exploded in midair, making the transparent âwallâ tremble.
At this moment, a rather blurry figure appeared in the distant, thick fog. âHeâ was in human form, but he was more than ten meters tall. His torso and waist each had two arms extending out as he emitted a rich darkness.
For some reason, as the figure that seemed to arise from a legend appeared, the Feysac and Intis allied forceâs base stirred.
Every soldier and officer there seemed to have returned to their childhood. They were walking alone on the dark road with no one around them. Everything was silent. They felt uneasy deep down.
The fear of the unknown stemmed from the fear of their imaginations. Instantly, they broke down and turned to flee.
At this moment, radiant sunlight shone on them, allowing them to see light and bringing them courage.
However, there were still a small number of soldiers who were unable to control themselves. They kept shouting âmommyâ or a particular womanâs name in their bids to escape from the battlefield.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers fell to the ground amidst repeated gunshots. One by one, they bloomed with blood-colored flowers.
They landed on the ground, turning motionless after slightly twitching. No one cared what their names were, nor did anyone know of their past.
Right on the heels of that, under the commanding officerâs orders, the invisible barrier that enveloped the Intis and Feysac allied forces was dispelled. Crimson-red flaming spears were thrown out towards the Loen base as though they could blot out the sky.
Just as the flaming spears approached their target, they scattered in a sudden bout of chaos. They stabbed into the ground, creating one pitch-black hole after another.
It was the first time Audrey was seeing such a large-scale usage of Beyonder powers. Momentarily stunned, she couldnât help but recall the people she knew and the roles they played in this battle.
Glaint and the other young nobles had joined the army and took on the roles of officers at different ranks. They were scattered all over the battlefield and could be killed at any moment.
The Magician had left Backlund with Judgmentâs family and was hiding in a small city in East Chester County;
As a middle-ranking member of MI9, Judgment was made to covertly defend against infiltration by the Beyonders from Feysac, Intis, and other countries;
The official Beyonders led by The Star had locked down the various cathedrals of the Church of Steam, maintaining the stability of the city;
Saint Anthony and the other demigods of the Church of Evernight, the Church of Storms, the royal family, and the military began to set up the last line of defense in Backlund;
The Sanguine had remained neutral the entire timeâŠ
A few seconds later, Audrey gathered her thoughts and prepared to use Psychological Invisibility to sneak into the enemyâs camp to spread Mental Plague.
Suddenly, her spiritual perception stirred as she cast her gaze to a spot further away.
In the thick fog, a rather thick and blurry tentacle wrapped around countless silver bolts of lightning and quickly extended to a certain location of the allied forceâs base.
A feather burning with golden flames fell.
In the depths of the thick fog, a huge grayish-blue palm reached out, holding a silver broadsword.
âŠ
The Fog Sea, away from the safe sea route.
Countless bolts of lightning struck the surface of the sea; waves surged and crashed heavily.
Bernadetteâs Dawn was constantly being thrown into the sky, making it seem extremely minute under the might of the elements. It looked like it would sink at any moment.
Queen Mystic stood at the bow of the ship, calmly taking in all of this. From time to time, she would use the Emperorâs New Clothes and other fairy tale magic to maintain the balance of the boat.
Her gaze pierced through the terrifying storm in search of the suspected primitive island.
âŠ
After some reorganizing, Colin Iliad led Derrick, Lovia, and the other members of the expedition team out of Afternoon Town camp. They followed the path up the mountain and entered the Giant Kingâs Court.
What surprised them was that the frozen dusk had changed. Bright sunlight illuminated every corner.
ââŠWhereâs the helper you invited?â Colin Iliad controlled his alarm and turned to ask Derrick Berg.
Just as Derrick was about to speak, he suddenly saw a figure walk out from a half-collapsed tower
The figure wore a black trench coat and a silk top hat. The right side of his face was cut, cold and stiff. The left side of his face had transparent, wriggling maggots that kept crawling.
