Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1124 Miracle Master

Silently, Klein's figure disappeared in front of Angel, leaving behind only a gray-white mist that quickly dissipated.

Angel felt a sense of familiarity at the mist that enveloped everyone during the weekly Tarot Club meetings.

After the Dark Angel evil spirit pointed it out, she realized that it was the breath of the source essence of Sefirah Castle.

One of the nine source substances, it once belonged to "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" and was used to isolate the Western Continent from other areas and seal the power of the other seven source substances except it and the "Chaos Sea".

The answer to why the Dark Angel could see the aura of "Source Castle" in Klein is already clear.

This is related to Mr. Fool, who is above the gray fog, holds Tarot Clubs regularly, and has a special attitude towards Klein. According to Angel's previous speculation, He was most likely once a Sequence 0 of the "Fortune Teller" path, but died or fell for some reason, and is an ancient god who is gradually regaining his power.

What is Klein, who possesses His aura of Sefirah Castle, joined the Tarot Club to become The World, and is on the same path as Him?
A secret puppet that was prepared in advance and could be controlled at any time?

Like Mr. Azik, a body that can become a medium for the resurrection of the "God of Death" Salinger at any time?

A negative personality entity of the ancient sun god like the "Dark Angel" Sasriel?
Or will he be like the ancient sun god “Grisha”, who, even after becoming a god, cannot escape the fate of the original awakening in his body?

Having seen and experienced the methods of resurrection of several gods after death, various possibilities naturally emerged in her mind, and her eyes became colder as she looked at the gray mist.

Within her spiritual sensing range, a "rabbit German" whose interior was almost hollowed out and only its outer appearance remained was standing quietly. A series of spiritual lines that she could not see were connecting it to Klein's real body that had entered the mist of history.

As long as Angel is willing, he can use the curse or the flame of destruction to kill the secret doll in an instant, and transmit the damage to the main body at an unknown location through the spirit line.

But Angel did nothing. He just stood there motionless with the mist in the dusk, as if he had turned into a statue.

----

In the mist of history, Klein felt as if he had turned into countless wriggling transparent "spiritual worms," ​​crawling away in all directions, no longer a whole.

This was not just a spiritual feeling. His body under the windbreaker and top hat really disintegrated rapidly. Twisted worms crawled out and flew to different fragments in the mist of history, each occupying a place, overlapping and merging with the image belonging to "Klein".

He had just crawled up from the cold floor of the rented apartment on Iron Cross Street in Tingen City, with a gunshot wound on his head that had not yet healed; he had officially met Angel on the public carriage, leaving a stunning memory in his heart; he was lying on the ground with a knife in his chest, narrowly avoiding death, and was saved by Angel; he was crying and laughing excitedly when he saw Angel kill Lanevus in the sewers of Backlund; he was thrown onto the bed by Angel and recognized each other again; he was killing Ince Zangwill with his own hands and proposing to Angel on the spot...

"who am I?"

“Which one is the real me?”

"I am the subject..."

"You are all my clones!"

Those soul bugs were affected by Klein's emotions in the historical fragments, and naturally believed that they were the main body, the real "Klein". They resisted the tendency to gather together and even began to feel hostility towards other soul bugs. It was only because they had just split up and their original spirits were still remnants that they did not start to attack each other or hide in the depths of the fog.

At this moment, circles of ripples like water waves appeared in the historical mist that stretched across five epochs. They were so tiny that they were barely detectable, but obvious enough for the split spirit worm.

That was the collision between ancient history and the present era that Klein felt in the gaps of history after he sent off the Silver City immigrant team.

These were the ripples created by Klein's actions, which had a strong attraction to the "soul worms" he had split, causing them to pop their heads out from the historical fragments and look in the same direction.

Then, a certain spiritual insect couldn't resist the attraction and aggregation tendency, broke away from Angel's arms in that fragment, and flew to the core of the ripples.

Then the second one, the third one...

As some of the spirit insects gathered together and merged into a twisted vortex, Klein's consciousness recovered to a certain extent after being split.

While he accelerated the rotation of the vortex that made up himself to create a greater attraction and absorb more and more "spiritual insects", he extended his slippery, transparent but very flexible tentacles to go deep into those distant historical fragments, catching the escaped fish that were unwilling to accept their fate and stuffing them back into the vortex.

After the last spirit worm returned to its body, the vortex continued to twist and deform, regrowing limbs and a head, retracting those slippery tentacles, returning to the empty windbreaker, and putting on a silk hat. As the clothes and hat were put on, the human figure assembled by the twisted worms condensed skin, grew hair and facial features.

This is not the slightly thin and cold image of German Sparo, but Klein Moretti, who has a bookish air, but is much stronger than before and is 1.8 meters tall.

With a swish, Klein returned to reality from the mist of history, reappeared in the orange dusk, and stood in front of Angel.

A little taller than her. Is this the effect of the promotion, or is it a subconscious change when I reassembled my image just now... Klein had just made some guesses when he saw his current image in Angel's deep purple eyes.

It was as if the soul and shadow were split by the corrupt power of the "Dark Angel", and the image was divided into two different sides from the middle. The left side was shrouded in gray-white mist, covering the facial features and skin, leaving only one eye with a slight smile. On the other side, countless spirit insects were crawling under the skin, and the eyes were bloodshot, almost crazy.

At the same time, two consciousnesses appeared in his mind, opposing and balancing each other.

A certain lofty and irresistible thought from the extraordinary characteristics that he had just integrated but had not yet completely mastered slowly awakened a little, transmitting countless images. Some of them were the mystical knowledge of the different abilities of the "Miracle Master", some were the magnificent scenes of huge celestial bodies in the starry sky, and some were the moments that changed the world in the mist of history. Each picture was branded with a crazy and condescending spirit, making him almost think that he had become a god.

The other stream comes from the deep red stars and the shining prayer lights, which include the prayers of Tarot Club members such as the "Queen" and the "Hanged Man", as well as the prayers of Poseidon and the Fool. Together, they form the image of a mysterious and great existence shrouded in gray mist.

Two different consciousnesses fought against each other, and Klein's body showed different images of the two sides fighting against each other. Sometimes he leaned towards gray, making him a "fool" in the eyes of others, and sometimes he leaned towards madness, causing cold and cruel thoughts to come into his heart.

Just as Klein was almost torn apart by the two, a strange scene emerged from his "Miracle Master" attribute:

An eight-legged demon wolf covered with short black hair ran quickly in the wilderness. Sometimes it approached its own kind and played with a smaller demon wolf with calm eyes. Sometimes it approached human tribes and used the spiritual thread to snatch some away as secret dolls for its own reserve.

At that time, he was sometimes joyful, sometimes serious, but his thoughts and memories were completely different from those of humans. They quickly covered part of the lofty, divine spiritual imprint, slowing down the struggle between the two different consciousnesses in Klein's body and giving him some room for buffering.

At the same time, his twisting worm-shaped palm was tightly grasped by a pair of slender, warm hands.

It's her. She has always been by my side... Klein's expression slowly relaxed. His own will took over. He coordinated the gray mist composed of prayer and faith, the crazy thoughts formed by the mental imprint, and the memories brought by the remaining mental imprint of the demon wolf Kotar, restoring their fragile balance.

In Angel's eyes, Klein also returned to his image of black hair, brown eyes, and smooth skin.

"Promotion successful?"

Although she could guess this from the other party's behavior, she still asked cautiously.

Klein nodded. With the help of the warmth of the other person's hand and the caring tone, he regained his memory and humanity before taking the potion and initially stabilized his condition.

He has acquired the status of an angel and has become a true "miracle worker."

Recalling the brief but thrilling promotion process just now, Klein finally understood why the "True Creator" asked him to choose the Beyonder characteristic of "Dark Wolf" Kotar, rather than the Sequence 2 separated from the "Mysterious Servant" characteristic that most likely no one had ever accommodated for promotion.

Under the influence of the terrifying mental imprint in his Beyonder characteristics, even though Klein gained the faith of Moon City and Silver City with the help of his identity as The Fool, and also directed the followers of Poseidon towards himself, he almost lost control and became a crazy, cruel monster.

During this process, Kotal's memories and the marks left behind by Him became a help to his "humanity", allowing Klein to barely suppress the divinity in his body, achieve a fragile balance, and restore himself.

Without the help of this "God of Wishes", Klein predicted that he might still be able to rely on faith as an anchor and barely balance the conflict between divinity and humanity with Angel's final help, but it would also leave many hidden dangers, which would lead to bigger problems later.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the words of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel:
"The original has awakened in me."

If I use that characteristic to advance, will it cause the "Origin" to awaken in my body... No, what I guessed before was not the original creator, but the "mysterious", "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun"... A few thoughts popped up in Klein's mind. Just as he was about to continue to examine his physical condition and master the various abilities of the "Miracle Master", Angel in front of him said seriously:
“Now that the promotion is successful, let’s talk about another matter.

"About your relationship with Mr. Fool."

Relationship? Why does it sound like catching an adulterer? This is most likely due to the Dark Angel's words about the "breath of Sefirah Castle." However, I was prepared to reveal everything beforehand. Her "person in the mirror" also made me confront her after I was promoted to Sequence 2... After thinking it over in his mind, Klein's expression changed slightly, and he spoke:
"I am the Fool."
