Upon hearing Amonâs âyouâre crazy,â Klein raised his head and laughed out loud.
âI just gave up according to your arrangements. Itâs just that itâs more complete than you think.â
As he spoke, an illusory brand appeared on the forehead of the ice-cold and bizarre mask he was wearing.
It was a strange door of light that was tainted with bluish-blackness.
As for Klein, he was also enveloped in something similar.
Under the translucent dark-colored cloak, more and more slippery and sinister tentacles appeared. They were densely packed and extended until they occupied the nearby sky.
As his dark eyes flashed, Klein looked at Amon and said with a smile, âFor me, instead of you becoming the Lord of the Mysteries, wouldnât it be better if we let the past âHimâ revive?â
After his mental state stabilized and he figured out the key to Amonâs surprise attack, Kleinâs thoughts of âgiving upâ removed his resistance towards the Lord of the Mysteriesâs will in his body, allowing âHimâ to further revive.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to control Sefirah Castle at critical moments and borrow the power of âErrorâ to avoid the collapse of the space created by Amon.
Without waiting for Amonâs response, the corners of Kleinâs lips curled up as he said with a smile, âAfter you were corrupted by Sefirah Castle and showed signs of madness, you immediately recovered and could use Sefirah Castle to create the effects of âBlind Stupidity.â After releasing the suppression of the Lord of the Mysteriesâs will in you, you didnât enter a half-crazy state, as there are external powers helping you.
âYou should have an extremely key important avatar. It might even be like Pallezâs choice to lower âHisâ level. Itâs sleeping at Adamâs place, and it allows a Visionary like âHimâ to personally protect your mental state. As long as the awakening of the Lord of the Mysteriesâs will doesnât exceed the limits of what Adam can withstand, you wonât go crazy here if you donât lose control there.
âTherefore, your most serious problem is that you have to maintain a normal connection with that body. Once itâs interfered with, your condition will be in trouble. And this connection is actually very weak under Sefirah Castleâs isolation effect.
âYou deliberately showed a half-crazed state for two reasons. Other than luring me to find an opportunity in this direction and stepping on the trap you set up, you were also hiding this fact so that I wonât be able to target this aspect while engaging in a battle with you.
âOf course, there are plenty of problems outside these ones. After all, you arenât fully prepared. If I had discovered these problems earlier, even if I was a King of Angels with the Uniqueness, thereâs no way for me to defeat you.â
Amon listened quietly and raised âHisâ hand to adjust the crystal monocle in âHisâ right eye. The corners of âHisâ lips curled up as âHeâ let out a sigh with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Klein smiled and shook his head.
âYou truly are powerful, cunning, and terrifying, truly worthy of the title of âGod of Deceit.â If it wasnât for the fact that I had long considered what I would do when forced into a corner by you and had no other choice, I definitely wouldâve hesitated just now. And if I hesitated slightly, I wouldâve already died.â

In that case, Amon would completely control Sefirah Castle, preventing Klein from returning from the fog of history for a resurrection.
Amon stared at the increasing number of sinister tentacles extending out from under Kleinâs dark-colored cloak. âHeâ slowly took a deep breath and said with a smile, âThe Lord of the Mysteries in you is about to truly awaken.â
Kleinâs smile had a nerve-wracking feeling to it.
âYou can also compete with me on this point.
âOur next battle is very simple: Itâs a competition of who awakens the Lord of the Mysteriesâs will to a greater extent, a competition of whose control over Sefirah Castle is deeper. 50%, 70%, 90%, until we reach 100%. Then, with a bang, we explode and âHeâ returns.
âWhat do you think? Are you going to take the bet? Letâs see who canât hold on any longer first? Itâs very thrilling, very interesting, and very suited to your preferences. Itâs like the roulette thatâs popular in Feysac. Two people, each having a revolver and a bullet inside. They take turns pulling the trigger at their temples. Whoever gives up first results in his opponent winning. And if no one gives up and persists until the end, there wonât be a winner. âHeâ will be the winner.â
Amonâs brows pricked up as âHeâ smiled without saying a word.
Klein looked at âHim,â and said with a smile, âAlthough youâve always been pursuing thrills and are known to be a risk-taker, you achieve your goals most of the time. Not only do you not lose much, you often gain a lot. And in the few failures that you do experience, you only lose some of your avatars and some items. Youâve never suffered any serious injuries or been placed in a desperate situation.
âYour every action is a product of meticulous planning. Even if you fail, you will have a way out.
âDoes this mean that you value your life more than I imagined? You do like thrills and seek it for pleasure, but to do so regardless of the price is just an image you portray. How can a real God of Deceit wager a bet with âHimselfâ at stake?
âOf course, this is just my own guess. Perhaps itâs wrong. Anyway, do you want to take the bet?â
Amon stroked the crystal monocle and made a tsk like Medici.
âYouâre really crazy.â
Klein replied with a smile, âIn the eyes of others, this is indeed insane.
âBut to me, itâs just a choice.
âCompared to you, Iâm more willing to believe in the former Lord of the Mysteries. âHeâ is a true Great Old One, looking down on the Universe from high above and treating most of the living beings as insects. This would make âHimâ distance âHimselfâ from reality.
âBesides, I should still have time to get the Genie to be my witness. Iâll get the Lord of the Mysteries to promise me certain things. To âHim,â itâs very simple and worthless.â

Having said that, the corners of Kleinâs mouth curled up as he said,
âI wonât lose too much, just myself.
âThere are always some things that are more important than others.â
Amon maintained âHisâ smile but didnât say a word.
Klein then surveyed the area and found the Magic Wishing Lamp and Trunsoest Brass Book among the floating fragments of the wilderness.
He immediately laughed out loud.
âLook, I didnât get punished. This means that Iâm not lying. Iâm telling the truth.â
In fact, the laws set up by the Trunsoest Brass Book had long been abolished since the divine kingdom was destroyed during the starâs descent. Later on, the Amons dared to attempt to use âSteal,â but Kleinâs main goal wasnât to prove anything, but to show his determination, firmness, or perhaps madness.
Of course, what he said was the truth. He was indeed willing to put them into practice. Otherwise, there was no way he could hide it from Amon or exert enough pressure on âHim.â
Amon smiled and said without a hint of panic, âSounds interesting.â
âIsnât it? Letâs begin,â Klein replied without hesitation as his eyes turned darker.
Amonâs smile froze as âHisâ palms suddenly gathered together.
Beneath âHisâ classical black robe, there were also slippery and sinister tentacles.
âHisâ aura changed a little as âHisâ body seemed to have a dark cloak on it.
At that moment, Amon became more like the Lord of the Mysteries.
However, âHeâ wasnât competing with Klein in the progression of the awakening of the Lord of the Mysteries. Instead, âHeâ was using this to deceive Sefirah Castle to create a corresponding âBugâ and creating a chance to escape.
If the authority of the Error were to take effect at the same level, it would often have different preconditions:

First, the medium and target had to be similar enough; second, there was a certain connection between the two; third, there were certain logical contradictions between certain matters or objects; fourth, some of the rules were indeed incomplete; fifth, while not directly affecting the target, construct an âErroneousâ environment as a divine kingdomâŠ
In this aspect, the restrictions of âFoolingâ were even fewer, but once an âErrorâ satisfied the conditions, it would be difficult to defend against or terminate it.
Amon now wanted to take the initiative to disguise âHimselfâ and satisfy the first category.
This was similar to the invasion of a virus. First, it had to make the other party believe that they were on the same side to avoid detection and then paralyze any defenses to achieve their respective goals.
When a fruit looked like a strawberry, smelled like a strawberry, tasted like a strawberry, then it would basically be considered as a strawberry.
But in reality, there might be an exception.
At this moment, Amonâs appearance resembled that of the Lord of the Mysteries. âHisâ aura was like the Lord of the Mysteries, and âHisâ powers were like the Lord of the Mysteries. âHisâ mental imprint was also similar to the Lord of the Mysteries. With the authority of an âError,â it would naturally make Sefirah Castle believe that âHeâ was the Lord of the Mysteries.
Suddenly, Kleinâs damaged The Fool divine kingdom completely collapsed. The grand and ancient palace and the mottled table inside appeared.
The grayish-white fog beneath Sefirah Castle rose and enveloped the space.
The grayish-white fog split into two waves. They clashed fiercely in a particular spot, producing vortexes one after another. They tore open a gap that led to reality.
The power of Sefirah Castle was at odds with itself in this second. It was as though it didnât know which Lord of the Mysteries to obey.
Amonâs figure immediately vanished, using Doorâs authority to rush out of Sefirah Castle.
Just as âHeâ touched the edge, âHisâ body paused before being sent flying backward.
At The Foolâs seat, the corners of Kleinâs lips curled up as he sat there. His glabella and the strange door of light around him became more obvious, as though they were corporeal.
This released an immense convergence force that reached an unimaginable level. It was like an invisible hand that pulled Amon back!
Amonâs body suddenly split apart, transforming into countless 'selves.â
And in front of every Amon, an illusory astral door appeared.

Silently, the astral doors opened at the same time, but in the endless darkness behind the doors, slippery and sinister tentacles appeared, blocking Amonâs escape.
At the tip of the tentacles, resplendent starlight lit up as they instantly enveloped the Amons.
The Amons couldnât help but gather together, turning into a conceptual cluster.
These concepts included but werenât limited to pointed hats, classical black robes, monocles, fate, time, keys, doors, bugs, and trojan horses.
Klein slowly stood up and smiled at the conceptualized Amon who was now in a passive state.
âYou can also awaken the Lord of the Mysteriesâs will further, but this is different from death. Itâll definitely affect the body at Adamâs side.â
A conceptualized Amon rapidly gained a physical form. âHeâ relied on the âDoorâ authority to escape from âHisâ current state.
The corners of âHisâ mouth curled into a smile, but âHeâ didnât respond to Klein. âHeâ seized this opportunity to use the âErrorâ authority to deceive; using an avatar outside that âHeâ had prepared ahead of time, it could be used to replace âHimâ and swap places with âHim.â
This was similar to the swapping of marionettes in the Seer domain, but at this level, the principles were different. It wouldnât be affected in most situations.
However, Amon still failed.
âHeâ realized that âHisâ âErrorâ authority had been forcefully suppressed.
As Klein slowly got up, more slippery and sinister tentacles appeared around him. The smile on his face became more exaggerated.
Right on the heels of that, Amonâs eyes glazed over and the smile on his face froze as the crystal monocle lost its luster.
At the same time, the cold, bizarre mask on Kleinâs face squirmed.
The âBlind Stupidityâ effect!
In the next second, he âGraftedâ himself to a certain concept in the cosmos, and he used his authority to influence the corresponding environment.
The surrounding slippery tentacles aimed at Amon, like revolvers.
In Amonâs eyes that were still glazed over, a supernova exploded.
An unimaginable sea of scorching light surged out, shattering âHisâ monocle and drowning âHisâ body.
