Chapter 60: Finale and Epilogue

It was an utterly ordinary paper crane. As soon as it flew out, scarlet flames ignited across it, scattering a few flecks of ash.

Amon, who had been looking at the figure in midair, suddenly turned His head and looked toward the paper crane that bore a blazing flower. Then He raised His hand.

The eyes beneath that monocle had already lit with cold light.

All at once, the flames on the paper crane vanished. Klein’s ability to swap positions with his marionettes vanished. His ability to Manipulate Flames vanished. His Flaming Jump vanished. His Air Cannon vanished!

In that instant, he had six Beyonder powers stolen away from him, including four extremely important ones!

If Amon could perform theft a few more times, Klein might directly become an ordinary person.

This was angel-level “theft”!

Within the dimming firelight, the paper crane slowly drifted down.

…

Backlund, Dr. Allen’s house, inside a black stroller.

Will Auceptin Ceres, wrapped in silver silk, wiped His mouth, rubbed His eyes, and muttered,

“Life is truly too difficult…”

Before His voice had faded, He took out from who knew where an object shaped like the head of a cane, set with a transparent gemstone.

Pure, clear light immediately lit up, illuminating the calendar in the room with absolute clarity.

Today was Tuesday. (Note 1)

…

At 160 Böklund Street, inside Dwayne Dantès’s garden.

The paper crane, which had burned until it was incomplete and scorched in many places, suddenly froze in midair. One mercury-colored complex symbol after another leaped out from it, instantly connecting into a gigantic, illusory, scaleless snake.

Across the surface of this silver-white serpent, densely packed patterns and symbols formed one connected wheel after another, and around each wheel were different marks.

Its fresh-red, ice-cold eyes swept across the area. The great snake rose into the air above Böklund Street, curled its body, and bit its own tail.

Its shadow covered the entire street, like a mysterious, exaggerated wheel.

All of a sudden, inside the sitting room of 39 Böklund Street, Member of Parliament Macht, Madam Liana, and several manservants and maids withdrew their smiles. At the same time, they raised their hands, took off the monocles on their faces, and allowed them to transform one after another into beams of light in their palms.

Immediately afterward, some of them placed their decorative glasses back on, some pinched their eye sockets, and some leisurely looked out the window, returning to their previous states.

Hazel sat collapsed on the floor, watching this scene as she broke down, shaking her head while supporting herself with both hands and repeatedly retreating.

The Amon wearing Winner Enuni’s appearance lost the coldness in His eyes. The crystal-like monocle had been made slightly crooked, and He no longer gave off the feeling of looking down on Klein.

In addition, something inside His body was slowly being pulled out, forming above His head a clear, thick, yet transparent Worm of Time.

And within the “concealed” world, this Worm of Time rapidly transformed into a figure with black hair, black eyes, a broad forehead, and a thin face.

This was not the time of Böklund Street moving backward, because Klein, Leonard, and the others were not affected. It was Amon’s own state returning to that of several minutes earlier!

The Snake of Fate—Restart!

Although the fluctuation in fate that Will Auceptin had prophesied had a slight issue and had come somewhat later than the actual time, the influence He descended from afar was nevertheless so timely.

In order to exchange for this Snake of Fate’s action, Klein had not only fed Him five scoops of ice cream in different flavors, but had also promised to compensate Him with additional remuneration. Their preliminary discussion had resulted in Klein finding a way to create the items that could allow Will Auceptin to temporarily recover a certain degree of…
