Chapter 33: Klein’s Advantage

“…”

Klein once again experienced, firsthand, why Amon was called the God of Mischief.

At that instant, he could not even muster the desire to lampoon. He only wanted to immediately end his maintenance of the historical projection and get rid of the Amon before him—no, the Amons.

The parasitized charred corpse wiped away the soot on its face and, before Klein could vanish, said with a smile, “There is no need to hurry. You are only a projection from the gaps of history. I cannot truly parasitize you. And you should also understand very well that I am not alone. It will be difficult for you to mount an effective counterattack.”

“What exactly do you want to say?” Klein, carrying the simple lantern, fell silent for a moment. Then, picking up one statue fragment that was black on the outside and dark red within, he cautiously asked the question.

At this point, Amon had already turned into his own appearance. The only problem was that His skin was still rather black.

He adjusted the monocle carved from crystal and chuckled.

“You know that I know you are searching for that Dark Demonic Wolf, trying to obtain a Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic from It. I am also quite interested in the matter. How about this: let us play another game and see who can obtain it first.”

What meaning is there in that? If I don’t play this game, will I stop searching? Will you stop thinking of ways to seize it? Klein calmly waited two seconds, then shook his head.

“I refuse.”

He had no intention at all of hearing what terms Amon would offer. The more words one listened to from a top-tier deceiver, the more one would lose.

Amon showed not the slightest anger. Smiling, He shook His head.

“You will regret this. I originally planned that, if I won, I would use one Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic plus one Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic to exchange for Sefirah Castle. I would also give you some time in advance to transfer that secret gathering of your organization.

“As for now, I can only consider directly stealing your fate and shouldering the corrosion from the source. Well, although that is dangerous, it is exciting enough. I am already prepared to accept it. We shall see who becomes the dominant one in the end. With my father’s experience as reference, I think I will not perform too badly.”

…What? Corrosion from the source? The experience of the ancient Sun God? Klein had originally intended to stop discussing topics related to the Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic and Sefirah Castle with Amon, but his heart stirred at those words.

He recalled Amon’s description just now and could not help asking, “Does the source refer to the Original Creator?”

He urgently wished to know exactly what unbearable fate Sefirah Castle would bring him.

Amon pinched the upper and lower edges of His monocle, studied Klein for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

“I think it is better that I do not directly answer this question, because you will not believe a single word I say.”

Then say it! I’ll judge whether it is true or false myself! Klein suppressed the urge to blurt that out and calmly replied, “Perhaps you simply have not yet fabricated a reason.”

Amon did not mind at all. He smiled.

“You may think so if you wish.

“Heh. Sometimes, truths discovered by oneself are far more convincing than those told by others. If you have the time, you may wander more through the Forsaken Land of the Gods. You should discover many clues. Of course, if you have the courage to enter Chernobyl, you will learn even more.”

…

Klein did not continue asking. He stared for a while at the collapsed church bathed in dim yellow light and said as though casually, “Did the Dark Demonic Wolf migrate in a hurry because It discovered your existence?”

Amon nodded lightly.

“Not only mine. It also sensed the Hanged Man’s gaze. It has hidden in the Forsaken Land of the Gods for several thousand years and is extremely…
