Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 566 The Civil War of the Harmonious Envoys

But soon, he discovered something amiss again.

A chilling, bone-chilling feeling of being "locked in" then crept over me like a persistent, malignant infection.

"Huh? Isn't it?"

"What's going on? Aren't you going a bit too far?"

He could clearly feel that he had been marked with some kind of "mark" on his body, a "mark" that even death could not remove.

Klein had just emerged from history when he was struck by an energy arrow with unstoppable force.

A power called "Destruction" exploded in his chest, irreversibly leading him to death once again.

The "Eliminators" in the Phantom Squad mark enemies they hit, causing them to take extra damage during attacks, giving their attacks a kind of "guaranteed hit" characteristic. Now that the entire legion is linked together by the power of [Harmony], the Doomsday Beasts also possess this ability, and the "guaranteed hit" characteristic has been enhanced to "guaranteed hit, guaranteed death".

This forced Klein to manipulate history, distinguishing between his past self and his future self. The judgment of certain death was cleverly grafted onto and confused the "Klein who had already been killed once by the Twilight Greatsword." It was as if what had just been struck by the arrow was merely a "remnant" abandoned by history and already dead.

Only then was it barely managed to escape the characteristics of "inevitable hit" and "inevitable death".

He could sense that the pawns he had previously "parasitized," "stole fate from," or made into puppets had broken free from their shackles under the influence of "Destruction" and "Harmony."

They were already dead, so once they were freed from control, they could immediately be thrown into the battlefield without needing to do much adaptation.

The cores of the phantom soldiers glowed with a destructive purple light once more, coldly locking onto Klein once more.

The silent command was given, and they all rushed toward Klein.

Leading the charge was a raider with two swords sprouting from its arms.

Actually, this is considered an old rival of Klein's, after all, Klein has died more times at the hands of the raiders than anyone else in the entire antimatter legion.

Their race has also single-handedly defeated pillar-level ancient beings multiple times.

Although Klein was only at Sequence Nine at that time, as the King of Time and Space, he could naturally consider the past and the future as one.

Within the Legion, warriors who had not yet perished were reforged in the "Forge of War" and gained a power called "Destruction." Antimatter replenished their remains, and negative particles vibrated within their bodies.

This is the Raider, the basic combat unit of the Antimatter Legion, the embodiment of the "destructive" will, acting on the instinct of destruction, possessing strong aggression, yet also having a fighting instinct that rivals that of legendary martial arts masters.

Klein fought and retreated, but found that the surrounding air was gradually becoming viscous, like an invisible swamp. Destructive beams of light shot out from different tricky angles from time to time.

The space swept by the beam of light would ripple. This was not aimless sweeping, but rather a vast net woven to cover all evasive angles.

They shoot out from all sorts of unbelievable angles with surprising agility, creating eerie ripples in the space they pass through, as if covered with an invisible gel.

Once Klein gets close to these rippled areas, he will be firmly trapped by a powerful suction force, and his movements will inevitably become sluggish and heavy, as if he were trapped in a spider web.

At this moment, Klein's body has become completely spiritualized, with his spirit and body merging into one. This makes him immune to most physical damage, allowing him to try to find an opening in the encirclement of the illusory soldiers.

However, the dense network of beams gradually slowed Klein's movements, as if he were sinking into a swamp.

This is different from the ability of a tamperer to directly modify reality; it overlaps with reality. However, under the influence of [Harmony], they do indeed acquire the characteristics of a "tamperer," causing disorder in reality.

It's like a dense spider web in reality.

To prevent antiparticles from annihilating, the antimatter army created two types of small ion traps for transport, collectively known as "baryons" and "antibaryons".

They possess only basic intelligence, capable of responding to the will and call of "phantom soldiers" on the battlefield and paving the way for them.

Above them, the deafening roar of the spacetime labyrinth collapsing was like a countdown to destruction, drawing ever closer.

"Wow, is this cheating? This is definitely cheating!"

Klein pointed to the giant hand above his head and said with dissatisfaction.

At least Serres, who was also a Commander, had never displayed similar power in front of him.

Although he had never actually seen Serres make a move.

The next moment, he felt an even greater, more primal, and more irresistible will descend upon him.

It is cold and pure, carrying a deathly stillness that reduces all things to entropy.

This is not about killing him, but about completely "formatting" his existence as an individual and recasting him into a new, cold war unit within the antimatter legion.

The foundation of the soul is violently shaken, and self-awareness is as if it has been thrown into a furnace. A terrifying sense of erosion, as if all personal imprints will be erased and one will become a drop of water in the torrent of destruction, sweeps over.

He's always been the one turning others into puppets; this is the first time he's about to be transformed into one, and it feels quite novel.

"Is there any point in me struggling? I can't beat them at all." Klein muttered under his breath, but honestly raised his right hand, lightly rubbed his thumb and middle finger together in the air, and snapped his fingers.

Snapped.

A crisp snap of the fingers, like a pebble thrown into a frozen lake.

In an instant, the cold, futuristic test site began to distort, fade, and dissolve violently.

Instead, what remains is the memory of the magnificent Pinocchio Theatre, filled with grandeur and psychedelic charm.

The enormous dome murals, the scarlet velvet curtains, the shimmering private boxes, and the surround sound seemed to be playing a grand symphony. This was the "recollection artist's" ability to "recall," forcibly overwriting reality with memory.

Back then, it would have taken Klein months to accumulate enough mana to recall this scene, but for Klein now, with the abilities of "Admonitory Physician" and the rank of "Fool," it wouldn't be too difficult.

Although it might be a bit of a bother for them, but...

The ability to recall was activated, and a figure reappeared from the depths of Klein's memory.

A golden giant with wing-like eye patches covering his eyes appeared behind Klein.

This might... be considered a civil war among the Tong Xie Ling Shi?
