Chapter 1168 My Anchors
In the blink of an eye, Amon saw the grayish-white fog and the ancient and majestic palace above.
He just needed to reach out His hand and pass through the final obstacle to truly touch Sefirah Castle and directly occupy the place and, in essence, take it away.
But at that moment, a gigantic bluish-black palm suddenly appeared above the Amon phantom, blocking Him from entering Sefirah Castle.
Amons projection subconsciously turned its head and looked in the direction of the palm. It saw the pus-covered, one-eyed giant who had long since died.
Bladel, who was known as the God of Glory, still didnt show any signs of life in His exaggerated vertical eye. The curse of the grayish-yellow fog kept emanating from His body.
However, it was different from before. There were seemingly illusory black tubes behind His back. They extended all the way into the infinite distance, a mystery as to what they were connected to.

The towering bluish-black giant instantly condensed a broadsword formed from the orange-red light of dusk. Holding it in one hand, He cleaved down at the side of the deep ravine where Amons body was.
This youngest son of the Giant King, the one who had died due to the curse, suddenly unleashed an unimaginable power after roaming aimlessly for thousands of years.
The Twilight Sword tore through the void and jumped out from the spot where the Angel of Time, Amon, was standing. It ripped through everything around it, turning into a storm that could destroy this desolate moor.
Amon didnt move and remained standing there. No matter how the orange-red sword storm raged, it didnt harm Him at all.
He seemed to have used some sort of error in this world again.
However, in this state, Amon was no longer able to transmit His ravings into Kleins mind, allowing him to finally gain a sliver of peace.
Ignoring how he was about to lose control, he regained his clarity of mind using the clear and real surroundings and the layers of prayer. Then, he immediately resonated with the dark red figure sitting at The Fools seat above the gray fog, and he established a new connection.
He didnt hesitate to return to Sefirah Castle!
And at this moment, Amons phantom, which was attempting to infiltrate above the gray fog, was obstructed by the bluish-black palm of the God of Glory, Bladel. He wasnt able to instantly break through the titanic obstruction.
The monocled King of Angels, be it His avatar or true body, opened His mouth and said a name, Evernight.
Yes, this was help coming from the Evernight Goddess, but it wasnt without reason!
Although Klein lacked confidence in this matter, he had always kept it as one of his trump cards. He only believed that it might not be effective and had a very low chance of success. It could only be used as a glimmer of hope at his most desperate hour.
After entering the Forsaken Land of the Gods and obtaining some space to think on his own, he worked hard to find resources available to him that could be used. Then, he recalled something:
The matter of the former Chief of the City of Silver!
This Demon Hunter had attempted to switch to Sequence 3 Ferryman of the Death pathway, but he ended up turning into a monster inside the mausoleum he built.
This anomaly was related to illusory black tubes, and such a phenomenon had been seen from the Numinous Sects Artificial Death.
In other words, the mutation of the former Chief of the City of Silver was very likely related to Artificial Death.
This indirectly explained somethingthat for some unknown reason, those that could influence the Forsaken Land of the Gods, other than the True Creator, included Artificial Death who had come to life to a certain level.
And now, Artificial Death could be considered the Evernight Goddess in some ways!
Based on this reasoning, Klein suspected that the Goddess could use the Uniqueness of the Death pathway to exert a low level of influence to some degree on certain things in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
In addition, there were only three people involved in the matter regarding the former Chief of the City of Silver. One of them was the current Chief, Colin Iliad; the demigod Elder, Waite Chirmont, and Shepherd Elder, Lovia. They were either Sequence 4 saints or an important believer of the True Creator. It was impossible for them to be completely unaware that they had been parasitized by Amon.
As for the only person who received feedback from the escapade, it was Derrick Berg who was under The Fools watch. He wasnt one of Amons Parasites either.
In other words, Amon wasnt aware of the former City of Silver Chiefs abnormality involving the black illusory tubes. That was key.
Therefore, even if He was able to guess that the Evernight Goddess had obtained the Uniqueness of the Death pathway, causing the God of Combat to have an intense reaction, there was no way for Him to know that this would bring about unforeseen developments to the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
With this knowledge in mind, Klein consciously performed certain tasks, despite not having much confidence.
In the city that believed in the phoenix, he didnt take away the remaining Death pathways Beyonder characteristics, hoping to leave a trail.
After summoning Zaratuls historical projection, he didnt seize the opportunity to commit suicide immediately. On the one hand, he was afraid that Amon would still have the ability to stop him and affect his other arrangements; while on the other hand, he tried to use the summoning of the Servant of Concealment Ariannas projection to inform the Evernight Goddess about the exact situation.
After completing these two matters, Klein had no idea what the final outcome would be. He had mostly focused his attention on the fact that Amons avatar had been replaced by His true body.
When he arrived at his final destination and saw the roaming angels corpse, he had just thought of something when he was distracted by Amons introduction. It took him only until now to realize that the Goddess had long gained some rudimentary control of this Giant Kings youngest son through the Death pathways Uniqueness. She had been patiently waiting for an opportunity to use this cursed angel.
And the concealment forces that filled the Forsaken Land of the Gods helped Her conceal the illusory black tubes very well.
Suddenly, in the ancient palace above the gray fog, at The Fools seat situated at the end of the long, mottled table, the dark red figure that kept warping and scattering took the form of the scholarly Klein with his black hair and brown eyes.
With just a thought, Kleins consciousness and Spirit Body had returned to Sefirah Castle!
Following that, he used the close connection between his body and Sefirah Castle, together with the prayers of the Tarot Club members, to amplify the resonance effect. He then saw himselfglazed eyes, on the brink of losing control. He saw Amons projection which had circled around the bluish-black palm using an error.
The monocled Amon raised His head, making eye contact with Klein, who was seated at The Fools seat.
Klein beckoned for the Sea God Scepter and raised it.
The entire gray fog boiled as the entirety of Sefirah Castle quaked.
A vast amount of terrifying power gathered over, transforming into a torrent of lightning. The blue gems that lit up at the same time sent an illuminating light that surged down like a torrent, drowning Amons avatars and his own body.
A deep rumble of thunder echoed as the terrifying silver lightning tore everything it enveloped apart.
Amons projection disintegrated, and Kleins body was destroyed.
He had finally succeeded in committing suicide.
After completing this attack, Klein, who was high above the gray fog, immediately cut off the connection between Sefirah Castle and the real world, so as to prevent Amons true body from creating any new accidents.
Right on the heels of that, he began to wait for the miracle and waited for his resurrection.
Beside the deep ravine which had grayish-white buildings at the bottom, Amons true body adjusted the crystal monocle, stealing the curse that kept Bladel existing.
The bluish-black giant immediately began to rot, quickly being reduced to bones. The illusory black tubes didnt persist, and they instead shrank back into the depths of the darkness.
Dressed in a pointed hat and a classic black robe, Amon stood there. He raised His head and looked into the sky silently for a few seconds, as though he was looking at Sefirah Castle through the fog of history.
Finally, He pinched the crystal monocle and muttered to Himself as the corners of His mouth curled up.
Interesting.
In the ancient palace, at the end of the long, mottled table, Klein sat at the seat belonging to The Fool. He carefully looked down at the grayish-white fog.
He discovered that the Beyonder characteristics that had been destroyed with his body had unknowingly entered the Historical Void. It fused with the Worms of Spirit from the past, turning them corporeal.
As long as Klein willed it from Sefirah Castle, these Worms of Spirit would immediately be able to escape the fog of history and reform his body in the real world.
The miracle of resurrection was essentially a deeper use of ones strength from the past.
Miracles happen using the past and future? Klein frowned slightly as he attempted to analyze how the Miracle in Miracle Invoker came about.
After thinking for a few seconds, he quickly pulled his attention back and attempted to revive himself in Sefirah Castle. Then, he discovered a problem:
His body could only be revived in the real world. Furthermore, it had to be within a certain range of his remains. As for his Spirit Body, it could be reborn above the gray fog, but Kleins Spirit Body hadnt been destroyedit was sitting on the high-back chair of The Fool.
Obtaining help from the past works. The number of resurrections Im using now is depleting the number Ill have after I become a Miracle Invoker... From the looks of it, theres only one chance now. Tsk... Amon should be guarding my corpse now. I have to think of a way to get out of this predicament...His sense of time is different from a humans. Hes a very patient God of Mischief... Yes, my current state can only be maintained for three days. After that period of time, I wont be able to borrow powers from the past to resurrect... If it really doesnt work, Ill just abandon my body and become an undead! Kleins mind raced. Although he was somewhat vexed, he was in his most relaxed state over the past few days.
He finally got out of that nearly hopeless situation.
He looked at the high-back chairs that had symbols light up on their backs, as well as the burgeoning and contracting dark red stars. Klein exhaled and relaxed as he leaned back into his chair. He couldnt help but reveal a smile.
These are my anchors.
Authors Note: This arc has finally come to an end. The whole storys origins was when I was reading the Cthulhu myth. When I saw the line about the stars being right, I suddenly thought of this: We often say that Cthulhu will awaken soon, but what happens if Cthulhu has already awakened...? For those who dont know much about Cthulhu, it doesnt matter. Just treat this name as an evil god. After all, the corresponding deities were completely reconstructed by me.
