Chapter 26: Joining Forces

The “curtain” shrouding Antigonus’s palace instantly vanished. An indescribable aura returned to reality, causing the entire astral world to seem to tremble.

Outside the cracked world barrier, those terrifying faces impossible to describe in ordinary words all stirred at the same time.

The invisible barrier began trembling violently, as though it might collapse inch by inch at any moment.

Every continent on the planet inside experienced earthquakes—earthquakes that were not especially severe, but were nevertheless quite obvious.

Across the Five Seas, waves surged high, as though they had encountered a sudden tidal force.

In the “noon” sky, the crimson moon abruptly appeared, its color becoming extremely dense. It expanded in an exaggerated manner, as though hanging above the roof of every building. Apart from it, the brown star, orange star, red star, golden star, blue star, and others all brightened at the same time, emitting lights of different textures.

If one looked down from the starry sky, the entire Earth seemed to be drawn into an invisible storm, swaying in place.

These were the slight changes caused by the Outer Deities attempting to break through the barrier.

The aura emanating from the ancient palace floating in the astral world simultaneously reminded Them of that terrifying existence. Under this stress response, whether in rage or madness, They all tried to prevent the other party’s resurrection.

Compared to Them, blocked outside the real world, the first to react was the Wishing Lamp in the pocket of Klein’s “main body.”

The viscous pale-gold light abruptly pierced through the seal Amon had strengthened and transformed into a blurry, twisted figure.

It reached out an arm and pulled the Trunsoest Brass Book into its hand.

All previously written rules vanished, and a new clause instantly took shape:

“Resurrection of the dead is forbidden here!”

Thin grayish-white fog flashed. Before this rule appeared that familiar clause once more:

“The following rules are invalid!”

Even though the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings within Klein’s “main body” had not truly revived and had not yet absorbed The Fool Uniqueness or the two sets of Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 Seer pathway Beyonder characteristics, He could already control Sefirah Castle, borrowing status and calling upon power.

At that moment, His existence interacted with the fog of history. One fragment of light after another twisted, sometimes connecting into a single whole, sometimes breaking apart again, unable to fully form a segment of history.

That segment of history contained an irreconcilable contradiction!

The true history was clearly this: Klein Moretti, fused with the soul of a prehistoric human, impersonated The Fool, founded the Tarot Club, grew stronger Sequence by Sequence, and ultimately approached the level of the true Fool. The current history, however, was this: Mr. Fool was a reviving great existence. He was the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings from ancient times. He had finally awakened!

At this moment, although the rule restriction completed by the Lamp Genie using the Trunsoest Brass Book only took effect for less than a second, it still weakened the Lord of the Mysteries’ will inside Klein’s “main body” considerably, as though it had suffered a fatal blow.

Meanwhile, the Earth Mother and the God of Steam and Machinery both gave up interfering with Amon’s avatars, seemingly intending to allow Mr. Error to free His hands and deal with the reviving Lord of the Mysteries.

However, although They clearly still had some strength to spare, They did not attempt to influence Klein’s “main body.” They merely continued suppressing the Primordial Demoness and the Hidden Sage.

The latter two also ceased attacking and interfering as fiercely, as though waiting for a result to emerge.

To Them, the Lord of the Mysteries’ resurrection could likewise achieve Their…
