Chapter 338: Dark Fairy Tale

"This is..." Klein's mouth twitched. These fellow countrymen were just too unreliable; Roselle likely accounted for ninety-nine percent of it.

He began to draw incessantly on the drawing paper, continuously manifesting the fairy tales from his memories in the form of books.

It was just that even after manifesting dozens of books around him, including various myths and legends from different countries that Klein knew, not a single story was suitable or recognized by the Phantom Realm.

"I..." Klein's mental state nearly shattered.

"I can't go on like this. It seems my fellow countrymen have already blocked the paths I could use to exploit loopholes..." Klein gently pinched the space between his eyebrows, preparing to create a fairy tale himself.

"But how is that easy?" He had once been to "Utopia" and knew how exaggerated the number of fairy tales there was.

"I need to find another way!" Klein made a decision.

Normal Dream Sect members could actually determine the story categories of "Utopia" through long-term investigation to find an opportunity, but Klein could not waste years on this matter now.

"The essence of a fairy tale is rich fantasy and exaggerated techniques..."

"The direction is wrong. Following the path everyone else takes definitely won't work, so I'll start from another angle, or even re-deconstruct the concept of fairy tales from the opposite angle to create."

The knowledge in his mind regarding the "Fairy Tale Mage" told him that the abilities of a "Fairy Tale Mage" were closely related to the stories he wrote.

"Dark narrative of fairy tales!"

"Dark-style fairy tales, that seems to have potential!" Klein prepared to write a dark fairy tale based on the characteristics of a "Puppet Master" to test the waters.

This powerful strength had been vividly displayed during that previous pirate suppression.

"Moreover, this direction is definitely more compatible with my 'Diviner' pathway."

"Diviner," "Clown," and "Magician" were fine, but the "Faceless" style took a sharp turn, and "Puppet Master" went even further by turning people into puppets.

Klein looked at this world that seemed as beautiful as a fantasy and suddenly a thought of blasphemy arose.

After tinkering with the power of fusing two pathways into an "External Incarnation," Klein had gained some experience in how to more perfectly display his abilities with dual pathways.

And the higher the Sequence in the "Diviner" pathway, the more Klein could feel its inherently evil nature.

Klein felt that he had entered a bizarre direction.

Klein wanted to maintain this advantage.

This fusion gave him combat power that completely exceeded his current Sequence, and he could even be considered among the extremely powerful ones at higher Sequences.

First, the "style" had to be similar; "Person in the Painting" and "Faceless" went very well together—one could turn into anyone they had seen, and the other could replicate the Beyonder abilities of anyone they had seen.

The combination of these two allowed Klein to turn into anyone and be very difficult to expose, and with slight changes, he could even pull off operations like an "External Incarnation."

"No, I don't even need a dark narrative; just writing out stories from the Real World would be the most sinister collection of stories. If I add some fairy tale narrative methods on top of that..."

He could start writing dark-style fairy tales now, and by the time his dual pathways both advanced to Sequence 5, he would not fear even facing a Demigod.

"Is he really a genius?" On the "Future," Chumen watched Klein start to stir up trouble and couldn't help but complain.

"Sigh, you really can't say otherwise!" Roselle also had an astonished expression.

"Forget it, if he wants to stir things up, let him. Just give him that pile of trash."

How could people's dreams all be beautiful? Where in the Collective Subconscious Sea is everything peaceful?

The reason the Phantom Realm became the dreamlike world it is now is largely due to Chumen's Dream trait, which displays only the pure and beautiful side.

But that evil and bizarre side will never disappear; they were just suppressed, buried deep beneath the Phantom Realm.

As it happens, they are stepped on by that Holy Statue; those things are the "trash" in Chumen's words.

In reality, they are the filthiest and most foul negative emotions of humanity over the past three hundred years, which could even be called a "Little Abyss."

"Then give him this authorization." Roselle nodded gently, and the Roselle main body guarding the Origin of the Dream Realm casually threw out a rune.

"Perhaps I can even create a series of stories, using things like puppets or dolls as protagonists, performing a story that passes for the real in an absurd and nihilistic way, and finally revealing the existence of puppets..."

Klein became inexplicably excited.

However, he felt strange again, "Right now I'm like a tacky third-rate Writer, choosing the least popular ending. How is this any different from a story that ends in a dream?"

"Of course, there is one point: it is more bizarre, more evil..."

Klein's thoughts turned extremely fast, and he drew another book on the canvas, "Let's call it 'Utopia'."

Klein thought for a moment and gave this story of his a name.

"Hum!" When Klein took out this book, his Spirituality autonomously reacted. He suddenly looked up and saw an emblem appear out of thin air, finally engraving itself onto the cover of the "Utopia" in his hand.

"This is?!" Klein instantly sensed a familiar aura from that book; it was similar to the "Dream Crystal Ball" above the Grey Fog!

And the "Dream Crystal Ball" represented the task authorization of the Phantom Realm, while the emblem before him represented the "evil" and "filth" of the Phantom Realm.

Klein's expression changed slightly, as if he had discovered some incredible problem.

This thing... Klein subconsciously wanted to look at the Holy Statue, but he forcibly stopped his action; he felt that the "Supreme Dream" was likely watching him...

"Is it because I wrote this dark fairy tale?" Klein felt the recognition of the Phantom Realm, but it was perhaps too much recognition, directly giving him this authorization.

"Could it be that I am the first person to write a dark fairy tale?" Klein found it hard to believe.

Hmm... would people in this world dare to have such a blasphemous idea of offering a dark fairy tale to the "Supreme Dream"? And actually do it?

Without a doubt, even if people from the Rose School of Thought did such a thing, they would be killed directly. If the Dream Sect and the Orthodox Church didn't kill them, the Witch Sect would!

Do you understand the gold content of a "Dreamlike Succubus"!

So the only ones who could do such a thing were truly the lawless "Transmigrators."

"Who would dare to touch this thing..." Klein stared at the emblem with a distressed expression. He had completed the advancement ritual for "Fairy Tale Mage," but there was not a hint of joy.
