Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 669: The Paper Angel's Trick

In Emlyn's eyes, the figures with bright red eyes surrounded him in the center, as if he was being judged by countless noble figures from the vampire clan, which made him subconsciously not want to resist.

In front of Emlyn and Klein, Renekton's figure seemed a little illusory, as if he didn't exist at all. He calmly looked at Klein and Emlyn who were in a trance, and murmured in a low voice:

"Are they still stuck in the trial? I've given them some hints, they should be able to get out of it."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became deep and he looked behind Klein and Emlyn. In the field of vision of the Eye of Peering, there was an asymmetrical and uncoordinated scale behind each of them, giving people a sense of disorder, as if facing the shadow of order.

As time went by, the scales behind them became clearer and clearer, and became more and more closely connected to themselves, as if they had become a part of their bodies.

"You can't escape trial if you have a charge, but the charge is very broadly defined."

After muttering to himself, the sense of illusion on Renekton's body disappeared, and the crisp sound of snapping fingers echoed, which was unusually clear in the quiet street.

Thick green vines hung down from the air, covering the surrounding area like a rainstorm.

In the hallucination, Klein, who was pushed onto the gallows, suddenly had a clear vision, and some details that he had originally overlooked resurfaced in his mind:

"This city has extremely strict laws, but as long as we don't intersect with them here, we won't be affected too much."

“Not interacting with the surroundings does not mean not talking or communicating, but recognizing the truth and falsehood. As long as you firmly deny unreasonable things, then those things that are denied do not exist.”

As he was talking to himself, Klein discovered that the tall figures around him were no longer tall, and the sense of oppression they had exerted also mostly disappeared.

But why am I still on the gallows? Is my will not strong enough?
While thinking, he directly recited the honorific name of “The Fool”:

"The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray fog, the King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck."

At the same time, his ears were filled with layers of illusory prayers and gray mist was constantly surging in his sight. Relying on his own keen inspiration, he vaguely felt that some invisible things around him shrank back, as if they were a little afraid of the gray mist.

At the same time, the gallows and the figures who were judging and executing him that appeared in his field of vision all disappeared, and the surrounding area became an empty street. Apart from the three of them, there was no other figure.

"So, we have been influenced by the 'Ghost Empire' from the very beginning?"

He whispered to himself, his gaze lingered on Renekton and Emlyn, and found that they were both in a trance. Renekton seemed to be confronting someone, and Emlyn was on the verge of panic and collapse.

Retracting his gaze, Klein tried to walk four steps backwards into the gray fog. Unexpectedly, he succeeded directly.

While picking up the red priest card on the table, he reached out to summon three cut-out paper figures from the pile of debris, pried the power above the gray fog, and threw them towards the three crimson stars representing the "moon", "white tower" and "world" respectively.

In "Ghost Empire", Renekton looked at the chaotic and twisted golden water around him, the whirlpools of varying sizes that kept evolving, and the invisible tentacles extending from them. He frowned and whispered:
"It's really troublesome. The power I can mobilize is basically at the level of Sequence One, but the actual power limit of this 'Ghost Empire' is just at this level, which is just right for me to form a tug-of-war. No matter the strength or status, neither of us can do anything to the other."

As he spoke, complex and illusory symbols condensed in his eyes one after another. Stars appeared around him one after another, densely packed, dazzling, and scattering one brilliant ray after another.

The starlight continues to interweave, dissolving the invisible tentacles extending from the golden vortex and restoring them to the purest knowledge.

Under his influence, this knowledge came alive, relying on its own aura and power similar to that of the "Ghost Empire" to quickly destroy the surrounding order.

The surrounding golden whirlpools of varying sizes became even more chaotic, like an abstract oil painting in which paint was randomly stirred and splashed.

As if angered by Renekton's actions, pale golden chains stretched out from the chaotic and distorted golden water flow, sweeping towards Renekton from all directions.

These pale gold chains appear slightly illusory, but extremely solid. Looking closely, one can see that there are many patterns interwoven on these chains, like stripes of laws engraved on them.

They were like the embodiment of order and rules, difficult to be stopped and influenced, and quickly corrected all the discordant things that violated the laws and rules in the surrounding space. The next second, gray mist spread out from the air above, and a tall angel with twelve pairs of flaming wings and full body armor stained with blood and rust flew out from it.

This is the paper angel that Klein threw above the gray fog. It was materialized in the "Ghost Empire"!

As soon as this paper angel appeared, the aura of the "Red Priest" and "Source Castle" was captured on it, and it was regarded as an intruder by the "Ghost Empire". Light golden chains of order quickly rushed up, trying to intercept and destroy the paper angel.

Above the gray fog, Klein, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly stopped. With the help of the paper angel's connection here, he also saw what was happening around Renekton.

How is it possible? The paper angel was actually stopped! It is not a real thing, it is essentially just a blessing from me? Logically, this kind of blessing should appear directly on the corresponding person, how could it be materialized?
As various thoughts floated through his mind, Klein reached out and summoned the Scepter of Poseidon, which directly brought down a thunderstorm around him and his companions.

Contrary to his expectations, there was no trace of the thunderstorm that was supposed to appear, as if it had evaporated into thin air, but his own consumed spirituality and intuition told him that the thunderstorm created by the Scepter of Poseidon had already struck.

"Is the concept of this space distorted? Or are our bodies in the 'Ghost Empire' in countless possible superposition states?"

While talking to himself, Klein put down the Scepter of Poseidon in his hand and turned over the "Fool" card that was upside down on the table. This blasphemous card was most suitable for him and the power in this gray fog. It could create more powerful paper angels.

He threw out several crudely cut paper figures, which expanded in mid-air and transformed into mysterious angels with twelve pairs of gray-white wings, wearing black robes, and whose faces could not be seen clearly.

Under his manipulation, these paper angels sank directly into the crimson stars twinkling above the boundless gray fog.

In the "Ghost Empire", the golden chains formed by order and rules kept tightening, wrapping the angel wearing full body armor stained with blood and rust and carrying twelve pairs of flaming wings, and firmly imprisoned him in place.

A blurry light and shadow appeared out of nowhere, sitting on the pitch-black throne, above countless rules and orders, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression that could not be looked at directly.

"The Country of Disorder. They want to create a 'Ghost Empire' that is similar to the 'Country of Disorder' and has a connection with mysticism, and then hold some kind of ceremony to distort the rules and concepts to give themselves more power, and even initially break free from the seal."

After muttering a few words to himself, Renekton's body suddenly became transparent, as if he had turned into a statue made up of countless starlight.

The statue shattered at once, and bright starlight surged, quickly filling the surrounding space that was strangely divided by the "Ghost Empire".

Stars appeared one after another, and then scattered brilliant rays one after another, converging into a magnificent pillar of light that enveloped everything around it, extremely powerfully dispersing and purifying the chaotic and distorted golden water flowing around, and the interwoven chains of order.

The hazy starlight and the chaotic and twisted golden water mixed together, but they were always clearly separated, and it was difficult for either side to dissolve or swallow the other.

During the stalemate, an angel with twelve pairs of gray-white wings and wearing a hooded black robe flew out from the gray fog above.

As soon as the paper angel formed by the high-level power of the "Fool" path appeared, the surrounding distorted and chaotic golden water flow and the tightening chains of order all slowed down in an instant, lost their goal, and didn't know what to do or what to do, as if they had been fooled.

Renekton seized the opportunity and caused the starlight surrounding him to surge, disguising the wrong and chaotic information as correct information, and blending it along the chain of order into the rules and order created and distorted by the surrounding "Ghost Empire".

The divided space around it was restored, and the wandering starlight turned into a brilliant sea of ​​stars, directly covering the entire "Ghost Empire", distorting the surrounding time and space, and losing contact with the astral and spiritual worlds. Even information could not be interacted with, bringing an extremely strong stealth effect.

In this case, the "Country of Disorder" sealed in the Western Continent cannot project part of its power over through mystical connections, and those beings in the astral world and the starry sky cannot look here.

In the dim starlight, Klein woke up. He glanced at Emlyn, who was still a little confused and frightened, and said calmly:
"Place yourself in the starlight, don't be covered by shadows, and don't interact with anything here, and you won't be in danger."

After giving a brief explanation, Klein stopped paying attention to Emlyn and walked directly towards the center of the city.

The paper angel created using the Fool card was unexpectedly powerful and had a direct impact on the state of the city. Perhaps it was also because I was already a demigod and could leverage more of the power above the gray fog.
