It floated in mid-air, bowing to Klein with a somewhat unaccustomed movement.
A majestic yet somewhat benevolent voice then rang out:
"Good evening, Your Highness!"
"I have come at your summons."
"Good evening, Mr. Red Light~"
"You don't have to be so polite with me; normal communication is fine."
Klein maintained Gehrman Sparrow's persona, barely refraining from wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
He felt he had severely underestimated the value of the "Great Ruler Above the Spirit World" identity. He was still just a Sequence 6, and even such a simple, almost disrespectful ritual could summon the Red Light, Red Light. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, a divine descent would have occurred in Bayam today!
The paper figure floating in mid-air made a somewhat unfamiliar gesture of stroking a beard, but since the paper figure had no beard, its movement appeared a bit strange.
Red Light controlled the paper figure to stop its hand movements, then spoke:
"Alright, Your Highness."
"May I know what questions you wish to ask or if you require any assistance?"
If I say I need help, will you directly rush to the ruins where Kalvetua is hiding and bring its Beyonder characteristic to me? Klein muttered in his heart, even thinking it wasn't impossible.
After a moment of silence, he organized his thoughts before speaking:
"I want to know information about Kalvetua and the location of the ruins where it is hiding."
The paper figure floating in mid-air replied with almost no hesitation:
"Kalvetua was originally just an ordinary sea snake. Due to a chance encounter, it stumbled into an ancient elven ruin and fused with a Sequence 3 Beyonder characteristic left behind by 'Queen of Calamity' Cohinem in the ruins, thus becoming the sea god worshipped by the natives of the Rorsted Archipelago."
"Two hundred years ago, it was injured by two Saints from the Church of the Lord of Storms carrying Sealed Artifacts, and could only hide in an elven ruin concealed within the Spirit World. A few days ago, because the 'Book of Calamity' left by the Queen of Calamity was stolen, it could no longer maintain its state and was heading towards an inevitable collapse."
"The elven ruin where it is hiding is within my observation. I will tell you the coordinates, but... Your Highness, I need to remind you that although its current state is not good, it has not completely collapsed yet. You still need to wait for some time."
"Alternatively, I can directly take you to that ruin and obtain its Beyonder characteristic, taking over the faith belonging to the 'Sea God'."
You really plan to take direct action! Although that's just a Sequence 3 on the verge of collapse… Heh, when did I start using "just" to describe a Sequence 3? However, why take over the faith belonging to the "Sea God"?
Judging from the performance of the Red Light, Red Light, he did not put Kalvetua in his eyes at all. This was not because it was on the verge of collapse, but because a Sequence 3 "Sea God" was not even in his eyes.
The Seven Lights of the Spirit World should not have Beyonder characteristics. Is this utilizing the special nature of the Spirit World? Is each of them equivalent to an Angel? If I truly become the "Great Ruler Above the Spirit World," wouldn't I directly have seven Angels!
Klein maintained Gehrman Sparrow's persona, his expression remaining unchanged from beginning to end, but his inner thoughts never stopped.
After a fierce internal struggle, Klein slightly shook his head:
"Not yet, just the coordinates of the ruins where Kalvetua is hiding will suffice."
"Thank you for the information. If needed, I will seek your assistance."
The Red Light, Red Light, responded with a tone that showed no change:
"No need for thanks, this is what I should do."
After a slight pause, he continued:
"Your Highness, I need to remind you."
"Your friend, whether he is a Blessed of 'knowledge' or an incarnation of 'knowledge', has recently been very close to a True Creator's avatar. The 'Book of Calamity' was in his hands before, and the theft of the Book of Calamity itself has a great deal to do with the Hidden Sage."
"The True Creator's avatar has already grazed a Beyonder characteristic of Calamity. He is also spreading a new faith in the Southern Continent, providing the True Creator with a sufficient number of normal anchors, which will continuously improve his mad state."
"Faith and anchors?"
Klein concisely asked his question.
Red Light controlled the paper figure to nod, then explained:
"The potion system is actually a path of aggregated divinity. As the Sequence increases, Beyonders will inevitably be affected by divinity and the inherent madness contained within the Beyonder characteristic. If one advances using a Beyonder characteristic, there will also be the influence of residual spirits from other Beyonders."
"The faith of believers acts like anchors, stabilizing the minds of High-Sequence Beyonders, preventing them from losing control, going mad, and collapsing."
Is this why all major churches and cults are spreading faith? Klein felt that a long-standing question of his had been answered, accompanied by a sense of sorrow for the mad essence of this world.
After a moment of silence, he asked again:
"Isn't a gradually recovering evil god a good thing? There isn't a conflict of adjacent Pathways between me and the True Creator."
Red Light shook his head slightly and said:
"All Gods need faith, but the people in this world are limited."
"Your Highness, although there is no conflict between you and the True Creator, he is the human side of the Ancient Sun God, and to some extent, can be equated with the Ancient Sun God. And Amon is a child of the Ancient Sun God. Conflict will inevitably arise between you and Amon, and then you will be enemies."
"I understand, thank you for the information."
Klein nodded slightly, feeling a bit heavy-hearted, in response.
I am still only a Sequence 6, yet the enemies I will face are a King of Angels, and even a True God.
From the Red Light's attitude, at least the Seven Lights of the Spirit World are on my side, but this is based on my connection with Sefirah Castle and not involving Amon. Once Amon is involved, the Seven Lights of the Spirit World might not maintain their current attitude.
Klein made various conjectures in his mind, his face showing no expression as he bid farewell to Red Light, and then ended the completely transformed mystical ritual.
Bang!
He slightly opened his mouth, making a subtle sound, controlling the power of the air bullet just enough to extinguish the candle flame.
Quickly tidying up the remaining ritual site, he lay on the bed, deep in thought.
A moment later, he sighed softly, got up, walked four steps counter-clockwise, and chanted the incantation.
His mind slightly dazed, he arrived in that ancient and unchanging palace, sitting in the high-backed chair belonging to The Fool.
"I wonder if I can use the power of the Gray Fog to divine Al?"
He murmured in a low voice, then materialized his usual citrine pendant, leaned back against the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and silently chanted the divination statement:
"Al's state has a problem."
After chanting the divination statement seven times, he reopened his eyes. The citrine pendant in his hand showed no sign of turning.
What's going on? Does the question I divined not exist?
No, there must have been a problem during the process. Pendulum divination relies on the communication between my own spirituality and the Spirit World to obtain revelations. In other words, the revelations of divination come from existing information in the Spirit World. If this situation occurs, it can only mean that the relevant information in the Spirit World has been blocked.
Klein pondered for a moment, quickly guessing the reason for the problem.
He made the materialized citrine pendant in his hand disappear, looked towards the crimson star representing Leyton, and then extended his spirituality to touch that crimson star.
Bayam, Loen settlement.
Leyton sat on the sofa by the fireplace, with an open yellow-bound book in front of him and a steaming cup of coffee in his hand.
"The Cognizer possesses the ability to 'Insight' the rules of the world. The 'Wisdom' of a Wisdom Angel might imply the meaning of applying world rules, and it should also represent the authority of 'Wisdom'."
"So, the Pathway of the Tower possesses the authority of wisdom, rationality, and partial knowledge, fate, and is also a symbol of omniscience..."
On the sofa, Leyton murmured softly, lost in thought, speculating about the authority contained within the Tower Pathway.
Unlike the Moon Pathway, which covers a wide range, this seems to be a commonality of the Omnipotent and Omniscient Pathways. God Almighty's authority is split into five Pathways, making the authority held by a single Pathway seem less compared to Pathways like Moon and The Fool?
As he pondered, a dense gray-white mist suddenly surged before his eyes, and a deep Red Light rose from the mist, condensing into a figure high above the endless Gray Fog.
Klein's calm voice came from his ear:
"Do you have time? Come to the Gray Fog."
"Yes," Leyton replied softly.
The next moment, he felt a blur before his eyes, and when he regained his senses, he was already in the magnificent ancient palace above the Gray Fog, sitting in the high-backed chair of the Tower.
"What were you just muttering about? I vaguely heard words like rationality, knowledge?"
Klein wasn't in a hurry to ask his original question. Instead, he curiously asked about the murmuring he heard when he first established contact with Leyton, feeling that it seemed to be some kind of high-level secret.
