Who is not a warrior these days?

Chapter 454 I'm here, I've always been here!
Fools ascend to godhood.

This is absolutely the most remarkable and significant event in the world at this time—the Iron Age (the Fifth Age)!
Especially after the veil of secrecy cast by the goddess of night was torn open by the "mistake" Amon, all the secrets hidden by the goddess were revealed to the gods.

Especially since "Mistake" Amon had already ascended to godhood through the parasitic ritual of "Mr. Door," and had completely embraced the uniqueness of the "Door" path, it can be said that once He also embraces the uniqueness of the "Fool" path, and combines the three paths into one, He can become a true pillar of the old world, leaping to become the first god of the current Fifth Age!

Therefore, at this moment, the gazes of all gods, evil gods, angel kings, and active beings of Sequence 0 were all focused on the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains!
In the darkness, their divinity was restless, as if telling all the gods that today, in the ruined palace on the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains, an ancient pillar called the "Lord of Mysteries" would surely be born!

At this moment, none of the gods could afford to miss it. They were extremely eager to use their methods to tilt the situation in their favor and make this inevitable Ancient One their ally!

Suddenly a blurry, indistinct figure appeared, as if she had always been there and had never left.

The figure wore a layered but not elaborate black dress, adorned with countless stars.

He was as huge as Ammon is now, with a pair of arms covered with short, dark hair growing from his ribs and waist, but with a beautiful and gentle face veiled by a thin black gauze.

His eyes seemed to encapsulate the starry night sky, bringing both peace and an uncontrollable sense of fear.

He held a long, giant scythe in two of his hands, and a bird-shaped gold ornament in the other, while the rest of his hands were empty, as if he were supporting something invisible.

"Goddess of the Night"!
At this moment, the goddess of night opened her arms once more, and layer upon layer of hidden veils were drawn up in the darkness, as if to stop Amon, who was about to swallow the entire main peak of the Hornach Mountains!

At that very moment, the main peak of the Hornach Mountains collapsed beneath the feet of the "Goddess of the Night".

One after another, black, python-like tentacles extended from somewhere in the astral plane.

As the gray-white color spread rapidly, these tentacles surged wildly toward the ancient, dilapidated palace, toward Klein, who was about to embrace the uniqueness of the "Fool".

"The Primal Witch" Chick!
As the black, serpentine tentacles were about to surge into the palace, a crimson moon rose amidst this apocalyptic scene.

Bathed in moonlight, clumps of wheat, flowers, mushrooms, and trees suddenly sprouted around the outer perimeter of the hall. They intertwined and layered upon each other, sealing Antigonus's palace inside.

The black tentacles, each tipped with an eyeball and resembling those of a python, were blocked by the wildly growing plants.

At the highest point of the ruins of the main peak of the Hornach Mountains, a blazing sun rises.
Furthermore, symbols such as lightning, gales, and ocean waves intertwine to form a magnificent phantom that seems to overlook all things, standing in the clouds of the spirit world.

A tall white tower with many brass eyes rose from the ground, seemingly able to support the heavens and the earth!
Immediately afterwards, the "Hidden Sage" appeared, seemingly composed of illusory light made up of a vast amount of complex information.

With an ethereal presence, it surged through the gaps between the eyeballs, tentacles, and crimson moon plants, heading straight for Klein, who was about to obtain the translucent mask.

But in an instant, he was run into by the "God of Steam and Machinery" who was lying in wait!
A terrifying torrent of information crashed into a series of illusory paintings, rapidly expanding and attempting to break the "cage," but it could never go any further.

High atop the Hornakis Mountains, the gods were locked in a chaotic battle for their representatives and to choose a new "Lord of Mysteries."

Powerful divine strength, bizarre divine abilities, and divinity that corrupts the concepts of all things—all these abilities, capable of shattering the very foundations of the world's material world, collided countless times in an instant.

Earth, the world... at this moment, is emitting a sound of collapse due to unbearable pressure!

At this moment, countless believers of the gods looked up at the sudden divine war that had broken out in the sky, and they couldn't help but kneel down on the ground, chanting their names incessantly. Their nerves, which had long been accustomed to this, were trying to gain the forgiveness of the living beings.

At this moment, in a house in Hillston, Berlank, Hugh Deercha and a salted fish anxiously prayed to the Fool, but received no response. They had a vague guess in their hearts, but were also deeply afraid to imagine it.

At this moment, in a luxurious villa in Queens.

Miss Audrey Hall, who thought "being too radical will cause problems," was also restless in her bedroom at this moment. Her Queens neighborhood was a place for the aristocracy and top businessmen, with the best security and the strictest supervision, completely isolated from the lower class of society, forming a two-world system.

But when she looked up, she could see such a magnificent sight: the night sky was torn apart and unfolded, the red moon disappeared and reappeared, and the symbols of the gods appeared one by one... Even though no one told her, she knew that this definitely involved a conflict between the gods.

Audrey let out a long sigh, the girl thinking with some worry, and beckoned to the golden retriever lying beside her: "Susie...go help me..."

At this moment, Klein, who was trying his best to accept the uniqueness of the "Fool," was frantically warned by his spiritual intuition. He saw the giant mountain shadow that Amon had transformed into open its abyss-like mouth, in which countless symbols of the thief's path spun, each carrying a terrifying power to steal authority.

He also saw the "Primal Witch" Chik, the "Hidden Sage," and other gods who harbored malice towards him, sharpening their knives.

"What terrible dining etiquette!"

Klein adjusted his silk hat with a wry smile, and the semi-transparent mask, which was wrapped in tentacles and symbolized the uniqueness of the "Fool," suddenly trembled violently.

he knows--

This is a sign that the will of the Celestial Venerable within me is about to be revived.

"May the Heavenly Venerable of Boundless Blessings grant you eternal life!"

"May the Heavenly Venerable of Boundless Blessings grant you eternal life!"

"May the Heavenly Venerable of Boundless Blessings grant you eternal life!"...

More than half of the "spirit worms" in his body seemed to have their own consciousness, murmuring, screaming, and even praying frantically, determined to awaken some terrifying being.

Even more terrifying, faced with this situation, Klein, who was always clever, quick-witted, and agile as a cat, and always had a backup plan, felt a sense of despair for the first time.

"May the Heavenly Venerable of Blessing and Prosperity grant me life!" Klein shouted, enduring the pain of his half-torn face.

however--

At this moment——

The oppressive, suffocating feeling was like a heavy, desolate void rolling down from the sky.

The sudden tremor made her thoughts freeze for a moment.

Without realizing it, the outside world seemed to freeze.

It's as if some terrifying being, completely outside this universe, is slowly squeezing into this universe along with the prayer that Klein just shouted!
The world fell into absolute stillness.

Everything is frozen at the origin.

In an instant, Klein seemed to have lost all ability to think.

In the dim light, Klein seemed to hear a melodious sound.

"Yes, I've always been here!"

Klein: "??????"
