Chapter 258: Mirror Knight and Magician

Klein returned to his small villa at the fastest speed and verified what Beierte had said through divination.

"It's true!" Klein looked at the gold coin facing heads up.

Afterwards, he closed his eyes again, his spirituality sinking into the depths of his mind, sensing the Phantom Realm.

It was his first time entering the Phantom Realm in this way, and he then arrived at the Dream Temple, seeing the "advertisement" Beierte had spoken of.

It was a huge white balloon floating outside the Dream Temple, with Simplified Chinese and English written on it, the general meaning being the coordinates for the Transmigrator gathering and Babel Tower.

"It's true..." Klein looked at the balloon and did not speak for a long time.

Finally, he left the Phantom Realm, taking a full half-hour to adjust his state before beginning his advancement.

"First, become a Sequence 7 'Mirror Knight' of the 'Dream' Pathway!"

Klein did not forget Bishop Chumen's advice and prepared to proceed with the advancement of the "Dream" Pathway first.

With two simple candles, he set up a crude altar, and then Klein took out a gold coin.

"Supreme Dream..."

"I pray for your gaze..."

"I pray for your power, grant me the Dream power to become a 'Mirror Knight'..."

Hum!

Klein's spirituality leaped, and he subconsciously flicked the gold coin in his hand. With a *pop*, the gold coin transformed into splashing Dream Phosphor, becoming the primer to open the Sacrificial Gate.

Clang... It was as if an indescribable giant door appeared before Klein's eyes, the door slowly opening a crack.

Klein seemed to see an endless Starry Sky inside, and within the Starry Sky was an infinitely dreamy God's Kingdom palace.

Beneath the God's Kingdom palace was a vast and boundless Dream Sea.

From the opened crack, it was as if a beam of Dream Phosphor shone down, landing on Klein.

Hum!

At this moment, Klein's spirituality surged upward, transcending a certain limit, and condensed into a "Mirror" within his astral body. This "Mirror" caused his eyes to undergo some changes, becoming brighter and reflecting the entire world.

"'Mirror Knight'?" Klein only felt it for a moment before breaking free from that state.

His spirituality told him that this was the best time to drink the Potion!

This feeling came too quickly, and Klein was even caught off guard, so he could only quickly prepare the Potion and, after a hurried divination, drink it in one gulp.

"That feeling hasn't faded yet!" Klein felt that his body and spirit were in a state of clarity and purity.

That was the wondrous state after being illuminated by the Dream Phosphor from behind the Sacrificial Gate, which suppressed all factors of madness.

"Too perfect." Klein exclaimed, and he now seemed to understand why this "Dream" was special.

If someone could obtain a wisp of Dream Phosphor, they wouldn't need to worry about losing control at low and middle Sequences!

The "Magician" Potion began to take effect; the whispers Klein had heard during his previous two advancements completely disappeared, his spirituality was stable, and his own state could not be better.

"This..." Klein blinked; he was already a "Magician," and it was unimaginably smooth.

"I probably need to be on guard as well; if I were to encounter that 'Demon' now, it would definitely go crazy trying to eat me."

Klein reined in his thoughts and withdrew his spirituality, no longer letting the "Dream" aura on his body leak out.

"Mirror Knight," "Magician"... Klein only felt massive amounts of information pouring into his mind, exploding like fireworks.

I am going to be invincible at Sequence 7... Klein subconsciously had this thought.

"A 'Magician' with nine abilities is already a powerful Beyonder, and adding 'Mirror Knight'..."

Klein's thoughts wandered, combining various abilities to deal with all kinds of situations, and with "Mirror Image," if he were well-prepared, he could solo the "Demon" if he met it!

"Mirror Knight" could be considered a qualitative change for the "Dream" Pathway; besides enhancing physical strength and spirituality, it also possessed abilities like Mirror Defense and Mirror Invisibility.

But the most important thing was still an ability called "Mirror Image."

"Is the one in the mirror you or me?"

Klein thought of this sentence, full of confidence.

This was the effect of "Mirror Image": while the enemy uses an ability, you will also gain the same ability!

It is like whatever movements or actions you make outside the mirror are reflected in the mirror, only the person in the mirror is no longer you, but a "Mirror Knight."

Its effect is very simple, but absolutely powerful.

However, its strength depends on the enemy, possessing a characteristic of "becoming stronger when facing the strong," and it can even take effect on Sequences higher than his own!

For example, if he encountered a "Demon," the Sequence 7 Klein might be able to choose to reflect a "Demon Incarnation" from the "Demon," gaining body enlargement, Demonization, and enhancements in strength and defense.

Of course, this ability replication against higher Sequences is imperfect and will be slightly weaker than the original.

"Forced 50/50 split?" Klein thought of this situation.

"It's a pity that I can only replicate one ability for now and cannot retain it."

"And when caught in a siege, I can only replicate one."

Klein imagined "Mirror Image" at higher Sequences; it would probably develop in these two directions.

"But even the current me is already very, very powerful!" Klein affirmed himself.

Afterwards, he stayed at home patiently, gathering his spirituality and familiarizing himself with his abilities.

Chumen triggered the power of the Dream Mark, linking to every member of the Dream Council, and a wisp of their consciousness was pulled into the Phantom Realm.

"Today's meeting is a bit special; everyone, express yourselves."

After Chumen sent this message and left a location, he dove straight into the Phantom Realm.

"Ahem!" A light cough sounded, entering Chumen's ears.

"Yo, isn't this President Baboon?" Chumen raised an eyebrow and looked at Roselle with a smile.

"Little Dream, what's wrong with you? Show some respect to the President!" Roselle walked out of the Fairyland and said with a straight face.

"Heh," Chumen chuckled, "This is my first time here; how about my codename be 'Morpheus'?"

"'Sandman' Morpheus?" Roselle caught the reference, "Not bad, then please call me 'Chaos' as well."

"You're not afraid of being beaten to death!" Chumen rolled his eyes.

"It's fine, apart from you, no one here can kill me!" Roselle huffed, and walked with Chumen into a Fairyland hidden extremely deep, one that a normal person could almost never find.

This was the location Roselle had specially built for the fellow-townsmen gatherings—Babel Tower.

And Roselle was the very first convener of the gatherings; he was the one who first advertised in the Dream Temple.

Then it was those fellow-townsmen who became Beyonders entering this world, and that was how the Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society came to be.
