Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 399: Each’s trump card

Although he was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into the ground, after calming down, Klein used reason to overcome his self-esteem, returned to Luke's apartment, and explained everything to him frankly.

"To put it simply, my golden finger is at risk, and it's very risky. There is a certain existence that is too powerful to be named trying to revive from me... Is that right?"

After listening to Luke pick out the key points and omit the content that should not be said, Klein briefly summarized his situation.

Lu Ke rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, "Almost. You understand very quickly."

"That's right. After all, I am also a senior keyboard warrior and an experienced online literature reader."

Klein straightened his back confidently. "I've read novels like 'The Soul of Negri', where the protagonist disappears as soon as he appears, and 'The Supreme Being', where the protagonist seeks nothingness through subtraction.'"

Lu Ke raised his hands and clapped his hands, showing admiration:
"Great, great! You are worthy of being Mr. Fool~"

"It's almost done..."

Klein gritted his teeth in anger and embarrassment, and it took him a while to calm down.

"If I was designed to come to this world, then how did you get here? Were you really being hunted?"

"That's it."

Lu Ke's eyes were dark, and he snorted coldly, "But the situation will be reversed soon."

Klein was stunned for a moment. "Excuse me, how strong are you now?"

At first, Luke told him that he was Sequence 8, and after going to Backlund, he should be promoted to Sequence 7. But since the "Emperor" and Luke are the same person, it is obviously impossible for him to be a mid-to-low sequence strongman.

Judging from Lu Ke's long red hair and his more masculine and handsome appearance, he might have been promoted recently.

"Currently a Sequence One Archangel."

Luke twisted his eye-catching red hair and answered nonchalantly, "But actually, there is no one on this planet who can match me, um... in a one-on-one situation."

"My good friend who played badly suddenly became the best"

Klein's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but complain, "Are you really not the protagonist of some cool novel? Handsome, with a good figure and strong abilities, a playboy and a harem, and now you have become the strongest..."

Luke curled his lips:
"How rude! I, Lu Ke, am where I am today thanks to my own hard work!"

I'd never trust you, you cheating beast...

Klein suppressed his thoughts and asked for advice in a low voice:

"So how do you think I should get out of this situation now?"

When he was suddenly told that there was a big conspiracy behind the golden finger, even though he was rational enough, he was actually very panicked.

"Let me see……"

A few imperceptible rays of light flashed in Luke's eyes. In his field of vision, complex mercury-colored symbols appeared one after another around Klein, branching out into various tributaries, but each tributary was blurry and difficult to distinguish.

Compared with the fate of the last observation, the black part representing death has been successfully passed, but subsequent developments are obscured by the gray-white fog.

Since Lu Ke's awakening caused the temporary revival of the "Prime Creator", both "Tianzun" and "God" have recovered to a certain extent.

In the battle in the God-Forsaken Land, on the surface he sent "Tianzun" and "God" back through calculations and mutual restraints, but the fooled "Lamp God" would not believe it if he said that these two shrewd guys had no backup plans.

Klein, who is the back-up plan for Tianzun's resurrection and has a connection with Sefirah Castle, will undoubtedly be used as one of Tianzun's back-up plans.

"Your situation is indeed a bit dangerous. Although it cannot be seen now and you don't feel anything unusual, there is no doubt that the existence behind you may revive from you at any time."

Luke retracted his gaze, not hiding anything from Klein, and his expression became a little more serious.

"Soon there will be a very big change. I need to do something very important. Some people will stop me, and some will help me. What will happen in between and what the result will be, even I can't foresee."

"Although your current strength is not worth mentioning, the being behind you will focus most of his attention on a certain monocle, but he will definitely use you to interfere or disrupt the key points of my work. Hmm... he may also use you to threaten me directly."

No one can understand the "unknown", but some of the things Lu Ke did are enough for "Tianzun" and "God" to piece together his way of dealing with people and his character.

This character is mostly fake, but there is a chance that it is true, and they will not let go of this possible "weakness".

Klein frowned, not too surprised. After learning that there was a problem with the gold finger, he had imagined various possibilities.

“Is there a solution?”

Lu Ke thought for a moment and gave a brief and powerful answer:

"Have."

"What is it?"

Klein's eyes lit up and he looked at Luke expectantly.

"I can 'contaminate' you first."

Lu Ke cautiously put forward a proposal that was not so safe, but safe enough. As long as he "polluted" Klein first, even if "Tianzun" wanted to revive, he would have to engage in a tug-of-war with him.

"Pollution...what do you want to do?!"

Klein showed a look of surprise on his face. He suddenly jumped up from the bed and took a step back, covering his back and looking at Luke vigilantly.

Lu Ke's forehead was bulging with veins as he watched him do this: "I said 'pollution', not 'defilement'!"

"Oh, oh... sorry, I misunderstood."

Klein smiled awkwardly and rubbed his head. "Leonard is always talking about being gay. I'm having a bit of a stress reaction."

"Don't get me wrong, he's just a simple Chuunibyou who wants to find a friend who also has a secret. This guy has a Sequence 1 grandfather in him. Oh, now he should be Sequence 2."

No wonder Leonard keeps saying that he is the protagonist of the trend of the times... Klein suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that the mysterious and villainous character before suddenly became humorous.

After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Will there be any changes after the pollution?"

"Did you notice anything wrong with Old Neil?"

Klein was stunned for a moment. "Has Old Neil been corrupted by you?"

"He was contaminated by the Hidden Sage at the time, and I covered his contamination with my own. This is called fighting poison with poison."

Lu Ke added without hiding anything: "After being contaminated, theoretically you will become my backup for resurrection, a backup vessel. Without me to control these contaminations, you will gradually become closer to my image."

"Of course, if you don't want the pollution anymore, I can take it back."

Klein didn't think for too long and nodded, "Okay, come on."

Luke was surprised that Klein could make a decision so quickly. He stretched out his right hand and pressed down. The light in the room instantly became dim, covered by "secret" and "unknown".

"You agreed so readily, aren't you afraid that I will hurt you?"

"If you really want to harm me, I will never resist. Isn't there a saying in my hometown, don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ?"

Klein closed his eyes unconsciously, feeling the air around him become stagnant and his senses begin to dull.

"You may have a bad taste, a vague moral boundary, and be promiscuous with women, but I believe you are a good person."

"Is this a compliment or an insult to me?"

An inexplicable feeling spread throughout Klein's body. He felt that in his originally dark vision, there were some blurry, incomprehensible circles of light that overlapped and separated. These things quickly invaded and occupied his entire mind.

Before his consciousness fell into complete darkness, he heard Luke's smiling voice.

"I hope you remember what I said today."

“Don’t employ those you doubt, and don’t doubt those you employ.”

…………

In the astral world formed by the distortion of countless abstract concepts.

In a country full of nocturnal plants such as night-blooming herbs and deep-sleeping flowers, peace and silence shroud this country, and the darkness is both dangerous and warm.

In the center of the kingdom is a woman wearing a layered long dress dotted with stardust, with her face covered with a translucent black veil. She does not move at all, like a beautiful and eternal statue.
"Come out."

The gentle voice is like a requiem, bringing comfort and peace.

The next moment, the majestic figure of the fire giant appeared behind the woman, and the blazing flames pierced through the darkness, illuminating the nearby area. The high temperature ignited the surrounding flowers and plants.

The "Goddess of Night" Amanesis looked at Luke and said softly: "'Conqueror', it seems that you have gained a lot from this trip."

"It is indeed big. Come and experience it for yourself."

Luke curled his lips and stretched out his arms from behind to hug Amanesis. Wherever his hands passed, the long skirt dotted with stardust melted away little by little.

"How is your uniqueness of 'Death' being accommodated?"

He leaned close to Amanisis's ear and asked slowly.

"The acceptance of 'uniqueness' is not that fast..."

The "Goddess of Night" slowly exhaled, letting the darkness surge in like a tide, making everything invisible in the darkness.

"Tsk."

Luke didn't force it, narrowing his eyes and changing the subject.

"I brought you the gift you wanted. The 'River of Eternal Darkness' will bring about a forced slumber. Do you have a container ready?"

"Ah."

In the hand of the "Goddess of Night" appeared an ornament made of gold and shaped like a slender bird. In the hand of Amanesis, the layers of doors opened.

Lu Ke smiled wickedly and extended his index finger towards the bird-shaped golden ornament, while allowing the power symbolizing the "original positive side" to exert its mighty power.

The colorless spring water with a strong smell of eternal silence flowed into the bird-shaped golden ornament and disappeared behind the layers of doors.

At the same time, a "volcano" erupted in the dark canyon, and the red magma surged, with a temperature that could burn everything, and submerged it with "conquest", "disaster" and "destruction".

The darkness suddenly shrank, obliterating all images.

When the light of the fire giant illuminated the dark kingdom again, the two figures had returned to normal.

Beneath the thin veil of the "Goddess of Night" was a probing gaze, and She spoke softly.

"You didn't bring back water from the tributaries of the 'Eternal Darkness River', but from the main stream. Even the true gods cannot touch it. How did you bring it back?"

"Aren't you happy that the effect is better?"

Luke had a relaxed and refreshed look on his face, and he did not directly answer His question.

The "Goddess of Night" let out a sigh.

"King George III only has three days left to become a god. You need to have enough sense of crisis. Even if you don't tell me all your cards, at least let me know some."

Lu Ke acted as if he didn't hear anything and closed his eyes lazily. Although he and the "Goddess of Night" had had in-depth exchanges many times, there was basically no emotion between them, only interests.

Even with believers as anchors, it is an unchangeable fact that the higher the sequence, the weaker the humanity. The "Goddess of Night" is very smart, and the "secret" authority is also very tricky.

Lu Ke could be open and frank with other women, but he could not be defenseless against her. He believed that the other party was even more so. He was afraid that she had already arranged various checks and balances in her mind.

"Then can you tell me some of your cards?"

The "Goddess of Night" was silent for a moment, her soft voice carrying a hint of helplessness and concession.

"'Mother Earth' Lilith is my ally. She is not the mother of the God of War 'Badhair', but my ally, the ancestor of the blood race, Lilith in disguise."

"After hearing the name 'Lilith', you should know Her identity, right?"

Luke showed no surprise or expectation, he just smiled and nodded.

"He is also a survivor of the old days. He is quite lucky. Unfortunately, his luck is still a little off."

The "Moon" path and the "Mother" path are both extraordinary characteristics torn from the "Fallen Mother Goddess". They are the "master of the real world", the "mother of all things", and the three pillars of survival.

The risks faced by Lilith are much greater than those faced by other true gods.

"When I went to the God-Forsaken Land, I passed through the barrier of the western continent, which had already accommodated a part of the 'City of Disaster' in advance."

Luke smiled and spoke, revealing a piece of information in return.

After saying this, he did not linger for long before his figure disappeared into the land of silence and tranquility.

After a moment, a faint sigh was heard and slowly dissipated into the air.

"You won't even reveal your true cards."

……

4 Narcissus Street.

Bernadette and Empress Roselle sat at the dining table, facing each other. The former looked unnaturally awkward, while the latter had a look of loss in her eyes.

Obviously, the "Mysterious Queen" has not yet adapted to the identity change from "father and daughter" to "mother and daughter".

Luke's figure was outlined in the air. After he appeared, he naturally sat down next to Bernadette and waved to Empress Roselle on the other side.

"Hey, eating~"

"What are you here for?"

Queen Roselle looked at the scum who tried to kidnap her daughter with a vigilant face. She noticed that Bernadette frowned subconsciously but did not reject the scum's approach, and her heart was even more alarmed.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to kidnap anyone today."

Lu Ke looked at his defensive expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Give me that."

"Which one?"

Lu Ke rolled his eyes, slowly spread out his hands, and spoke word by word.

"Box of the Old Ones."
