Chapter 235: 「Wish Granter」
"A good person?" It was the third day after Klein became a Beyonder that he saw Chumen again, and at this moment, he could not help but recall Mr. Azik's assessment of Bishop Chumen.
Up until now, this assessment was still quite fitting.
"It seems you have already received a reply." Chumen looked at Klein, who had arrived at the church, and revealed a smile.
"Mr. Azik said he already understands your meaning."
Of course, Klein could not understand what the "meaning" here meant.
"Very good," Chumen nodded lightly; Tingen was truly a magical city, where all sorts of existences were concentrated here.
And now, these people, and even Angels, were gradually being swept up by Fate, beginning to rush toward the Doomsday.
"Then congratulations, you have obtained the opportunity to become a Beyonder of the 'Dream' Pathway."
Klein blinked, feeling somewhat incredulous; was it completed so simply?
"Follow me; I will teach you how to hold the corresponding ritual to pray for power from the Dream."
Chumen and Klein arrived at a Prayer Room, and Chumen lit two candles at random.
Klein had already initially adapted to being a "Diviner" and had memorized that book of basic Beyonder knowledge, gaining an understanding of the ritual magic within it.
"Give me a gold coin." Chumen reached out to ask Klein for one.
"Huh?" Klein was caught off guard by this turn of events.
"Oh, you have no money!" Chumen raised his eyebrows slightly, making Klein's expression twist; in the end, it was Chumen who fished a Dream Gold Coin out of his pocket.
"The original source of the gold coins in this world is the Dream, so in terms of occultism, a gold coin can replace the ritual materials of the 'Dream'."
"Generally speaking, as long as you have enough gold coins in your hand, you can also obtain a life that can be called a dream."
"This..." Klein was speechless, but wouldn't it be too vulgar to use for holding a ritual?
The Evernight Goddess's rituals involved Deep Sleep Flower and night incense herbs, as well as essential oils, floral water, and so on.
"This is called simplicity!" Chumen stuffed the gold coin into Klein's hand. "You perform the operation."
Klein was forced into the spotlight, his body stiff, not knowing what to do.
"Recite after me in Ancient Hermes..."
"Oh, power of the Dream..."
"You are the True Spirit, the pure one, the master who governs the Dream, and even more, the Supreme who transcends the infinite..."
Klein recited after Chumen; the moment the words fell, Klein's spiritual intuition was triggered, and dots of phosphor began to appear throughout the Prayer Room.
"Toss your gold coin." Klein tossed the gold coin, and it tumbled in the air before landing between the two candles.
Da... He did not know if it was an illusion, but as the gold coin landed, it had already splashed into a streak of Dream Phosphor; the appearance of this phosphor completely stirred up the power of the Dream.
"I pray to you,
Praying for you to bestow a gift,
Praying for you to grant me the power of a 'Wish Granter'."
Klein performed the prayer with a very solemn expression.
After he finished the recitation completely, the Prayer Room seemed to be swept by a wind of illusory Spirituality.
These winds poured into Klein's body very naturally, but Klein preferred to call this feeling a "cleansing."
The whispers that seemed to have been lingering in his ears ever since he became a Beyonder seemed to have vanished; they were already very faint and would almost cause him no influence anymore.
The "Dream" washed away the madness.
"Does this power feel harmless to me? Why do I have this feeling?" Klein closed his eyes, feeling his own Spirituality rising continuously.
This was a Sequence 9 that was not a bit inferior to a "Diviner" in the realm of Spirituality, and after the two were superimposed, Klein's current Spirituality seemed to be absurdly strong.
This raised his spiritual intuition by a level and could even enhance his divination power.
"I pray to be able to obtain more gold coins." Klein also obtained a certain "knowledge," which was "spiritual orientation."
"I pray to be able to..."
Klein silently recited this prayer in his heart; at this moment, he was pious as never before.
Perhaps it was because he was indeed pious enough, and the "Supreme Dream" had also heard his prayer.
At a certain moment, Klein's spiritual intuition jumped lightly, and he obtained a direction toward "gold coins."
Subconsciously following the guidance of his Spirituality, he looked at Chumen, just in time to meet Chumen's half-smiling gaze.
"Yo? Your Spirituality pointed at me?" Chumen crossed his arms and chuckled.
"Uh..." Klein was stunned; could it be that Mr. Chumen's wealth had already been recognized by the "Supreme Dream"? Does it want me to hug a big thigh?
Uh, according to the saying on Earth, the most promising way to obtain a large amount of gold coins right now is probably to shout loudly, "I have drifted for half a life..."
But I refuse!
Klein was startled and hurriedly covered the "gold coin" with another orientation.
"I pray to obtain a stronger sense of crisis..."
A moment later, that feeling was gradually replaced by another orientation.
His sense of crisis also became more acute, and he could even barely sense thoughts that were unfavorable to him.
For example, Bishop Chumen, who had been standing in the corner of the Prayer Room.
"It's not a crisis, nor is it malice; it's more like a wicked sense of humor..." Klein judged his own spiritual precognition ability.
"This ability... is truly magical!" Klein felt uncontrollable excitement in his heart; the ability of this "Wish Granter" was somewhat singular, but it was powerful enough.
"That's enough; you have already become a 'Wish Granter' and officially stepped into the 'Dream' Pathway."
Chumen was actually observing whether Klein would show any rejection toward the power of the Dream.
But the current situation was that these Dream powers were external, and their significance to Klein was more like a special Magical Item.
Theoretically speaking, "Sefirah Castle" would not forcibly reject this power either.
After all, in the original trajectory, Klein had also brought items containing the power of True Gods or even the Oldest One into "Sefirah Castle" several times.
"Thank you for your guidance, Bishop."
"It's nothing, this is what you deserve. Later, if you wish to advance on the Dream Pathway, you can come to me to receive missions."
"I am, after all, the Bishop of the Dream Sect in Tingen."
The two left the Prayer Room, and Klein returned to the Nighthawks office through the secret passage.
"You..." the poet classmate looked at Klein, slightly surprised; Klein seemed like a different person.
"Me?" Klein was startled, then said with a smile, "I have already become a Beyonder."
Leonard blinked, only then remembering this matter, "Congratulations, no, this doesn't seem like a good thing either..."
"To the current me, it is a good thing; one must live in the moment."
Klein quoted a famous saying by Roselle, then he greeted the Captain and went to find Old Neil to learn mysticism knowledge.
"I always feel like something is wrong," Leonard muttered in his heart.
"He has received the favor of Dream," a voice suddenly rang out in Leonard's heart.
