Chapter 876

Amon!

Klein’s pupils constricted, and although he looked normal on the surface, he tensed up significantly with his heart churning withwaves of alarm.

Although he had kept using Amon to scare the grandpa in Leonard’s body, as well as the Marauder pathway demigod besideHazel, he was only using the name. He never expected that this Blasphemer, a King of Angels, would arrive in Backlund soquickly. “He” was even looking for the organization that believed in The Fool!

In fact, although it’s surprising, it’s understandable. With Backlund having an angel and demigod of the Marauder pathway, it’sonly a matter of time before Amon arrives based on the law of Beyonder characteristics convergence... The only problem is that“He” has been searching for something in the Forsaken Land of the Gods for so many years, so it’s unlikely he would suddenlyabandon his search. Besides, “His” mausoleum in the outskirts of Backlund has been destroyed by the Machinery Hivemind,making it difficult for “Him” to come and go as he pleases... Therefore, this isn’t “His” main body, but an avatar? An avatar thatexists in the Northern Continent? Hmm, an angel of the Marauder pathway should be good at using Worms of Time to createavatars. Amon must be stronger than “Them”... Klein’s thoughts raced as fast as lightning as he gradually came to a certainconclusion.

At times, he even suspected that the Mythical Creature of the Marauder pathway was a bunch of Worms of Time that combinedtogether via a certain method.

As a Marauder pathway’s King of Angels before the Cataclysm, Amon definitely knows what the name “The Fool” means and candetect the corresponding aura... “He” might even wish to steal control over the gray fog... “He” came here for The Fool this time.This is really going to be a headache... After his initial shock, Klein gradually composed himself.

What he was most afraid of now was that he would end up encountering Blasphemer Amon because of the law of Beyondercharacteristics convergence. And Amon was clearly able to detect his uniqueness. When that happens, it might not even cause astir before the so-called The Fool had to consider if he could be resurrected. After all, this was a King of Angels, an existence justsecond to a true god. Furthermore, the Marauder pathway was always known for their deceit and concealment. Amon wasn’tnecessarily afraid to take action, even in Backlund. Perhaps stealing the fate of others was a strength of “His.”

From the looks of it, temporarily leaving Backlund to head for West Balam might not be a bad choice... Anyway, the biggestproblem stems from myself. If | had already advanced and become a Bizarro Sorcerer, I'll be able to hide the gray fog’s aura.Even if | encounter Amon, | won't have to be afraid of exposing anything... Klein drew a silent breath as he once again felt asense of urgency.

He needed to quickly push open the door to Sequence 4, change his existence, and become a demigod!

For this, he needed to work harder, be it making another marionette, acting at a deeper level to speed up his digestion, orgathering the corresponding ingredients!

Phew... Backlund really is a terrifying place. If Ouroboros hasn't left, or if he has already returned, just the ones | know wouldnumber four, no—five angels, including two Kings of Angels! | haven't included the royal family and military who use Backlund astheir base. | haven't included the underground evil spirit whose whereabouts are unknown. A former King of Angels that fusedwith the wills of two other angels... If the Rose School of Thought’s Abomination Suah comes in pursuit of Gehrman Sparrow,that would really be a bustle. This would be nothing compared to the demigod-level battle outside Bayam City... Klein looked atthe sketch drawn by lan as he vaguely shook his head.

“Okay, got it.”

He shook his head. To lan and Maric, he had said so because he didn’t know the monocled man, but in fact, he was expressinghis exasperation.

“I'll have to leave. I'll reply to you before midnight.” Klein took off his hat and bowed, slowly walking out of the billiard room. Hethen teleported back to 160 Boklund Street from a secluded alley outside the Bravehearts Bar.

Inside his master bedroom, the first thing he considered wasn’t Miss Sharron’s and Maric’s request, but on how he was to dealwith the problems that Amon brought with “Him”.

In such aspects, being rather experienced, he quickly came up with an idea.It was to find something for Amon to do to draw “His” attention away!

As for what that was, it was definitely something “He” found irresistible, something that he would definitely be interested in; forexample, an angel from the Marauder pathway, Pallez Zoroast!

Perhaps this was key to Amon’s ability to become a Sequence 0 true god. It would be something far more important than findingthe organization that believed in The Fool.

Of course, Klein definitely wouldn't directly sell out Leonard’s grandpa, because “He” had yet to show any ill intent to date.

His thoughts were simple. It was to inform this matter to Pallez Zoroast that Amon was already in Backlund. He wanted to seethe reaction of the angel who had survived since the Fourth Epoch; then, he would follow up based on the situation.

If that grandpa is helpless against Amon who’s likely only an avatar, he can only get Leonard to use the excuse of a mission toleave Backlund to hide from Amon. As for me, I'll have to bring forward my trip to West Balam. I'll just say that it has somethingimportant to do with my network. I’ll secretly teleport back for the placenta blood when Snake of Fate Will Auceptin is born...Klein arrived at a decision as he took out a piece of paper and wrote:

“Amon has arrived.”Folding the letter and putting it into an envelope, Klein took out the adventurer’s harmonica and blew hard.When Reinette Tinekerr appeared, he took out a gold coin from his pocket and pressed it on the envelope.

This was one of the ten gold coins that he had gotten Richardson to exchange for him in the afternoon. It was to maintain hisimage of Dwayne Dantés to being equal to someone at the level of Pallez Zoroast. Even when Klein informed Leonard Mitchellof the method of contact, he didn’t inform him that the payment of a gold coin was needed.

This shows that face is something you buy with money... As Klein sighed, he said to Miss Messenger who was wearing a dark,complicated dress.

“Send the letter to 7 Pinster Street. Oh, just throw it into the mailbox. There’s no need to send it to the addressee.”

As he wasn’t certain of Pallez Zoroast’s true intentions and character, Klein wished to hide more of his trump cards in front of“Him”; therefore, before Leonard wrote to Klein Moretti, he had no plans on letting the poet see Miss Messenger.

The blonde, red-eyed head in Reinette Tinekerr’s left hand was raised up as it sucked the letter and gold coin into its mouth.However, she didn’t immediately disappear. Instead, she floated at her spot, looking at Klein silently with all eight eyes.

“What's wrong?” Klein was taken aback before coming up with a guess. He asked with an odd expression, “You don’t knowwhere 7 Pinster Street is?”

Only then did he recall that a messenger’s delivery of letters depended on their mysticism-based location. It was based on theperson they contracted with and people they had formerly delivered letters to. Therefore, once the latter left a detectable range,the messenger would not be able to find them.

Upon hearing Klein’s question, two of Reinette Tinekerr’s heads nodded in unison, indicating that she didn’t know.

Klein immediately coughed lightly, pulled out the drawer, and took out a map of Backlund. He then used a fountain pen to circleout North Borough. Following that, he circled Pinster Street.

“When you're here, you will see the unit number on the buildings.” Klein folded the map and handed it over.

The head in Reinette Tinekerr’s right hand immediately opened its mouth and bit down on the map. Then, her figure phasedaway and entered the spirit world.

Upon seeing this, Klein heaved a sigh of relief. He turned and walked out of his master bedroom and headed for the half-openroom with the balcony to read the papers and magazines.

Late into the night, he took four steps counterclockwise before soaking into the bathtub and entering the mysterious space abovethe gray fog.

“Helping Sharron and Maric obtain the Tutanssess I] mummy is dangerous.” Klein took off the topaz pendant on his left wrist andlet it hang to perform a divination.

This time, the spirit pendulum rotated clockwise with a weak amplitude and relatively slow frequency.

This means that the danger isn’t too great... Furthermore, even if it's a trap targeted at Miss Sharron and Maric, there’s no needfor the present me to be too afraid... Klein beckoned with his hand as he made a translucent miniature black crystal card fly tohim.

This was the Fate Siphon charm.

Klein had used a Worm of Time to create a demigod-level high-level charm!

Right on the heels of that, he summoned Creeping Hunger and the Sea God Scepter. Wearing the former, he picked up the latterand recorded Lightning Storm and Hurricane.

The mutated and upgraded Creeping Hunger could use Mr. X’s soul and characteristic to record two demigod-level Beyonderpowers that didn’t exceed Sequence 3. With this, Klein no longer needed to borrow Leymano’s Travels anymore. Furthermore, itwas more convenient. After all, flipping a spellbook affected his use of Death Knell and the Fate Siphon charm, unless he grewanother two hands.

After making his preparations, Klein returned to the real world, pulled out a piece of paper and wrote simply:

“Exact time, location, and plan.”

At 1 a.m., Leonard, who had slept two hours, woke up energetically. He prepared to leave 7 Pinster Street and head for the SaintSamuel Cathedral's basement.

Just as he stepped out the door, he suddenly had his spiritual intuition trigger before he subconsciously cast his gaze to the side.A look of puzzlement flashed in his eyes as he walked over and opened the mailbox.

During dinner, he had cleared the newspapers, bills, and letters inside. Typically, there wouldn’t be any items in the mailbox untildaybreak. After all, the mailmen would’ve clocked off work and returned home. However, at this moment, there was a thin letterwaiting silently at the bottom of the mailbox.

“Old Man, you didn’t inform me of a new letter,” Leonard said softly as he picked up the letter.The slightly aged voice in his mind replied, “The person didn’t enter.”

Leonard knew that Old Man’s senses were limited to his body; hence, he didn’t speak further. He tore open the envelope andtook out the letter, flicking it flat.novelbin

The letter was mostly empty with just one short line:“Amon has arrived.”Amon has arrived... Leonard’s pupils dilated immediately.

At the same time, he heard the Parasite in him gasp for the first time.
