Chapter 362: Progress Bar

Klein clearly accelerated the story's progress; after a few flickers of light and shadow, the kingdom fell into war, and two evil witches fought for three hundred rounds in the royal palace.

Without a doubt, the Snow Witch lost, having lost everything to the prince's betrayal.

The kingdom she resided in also completely crumbled, merging into a new kingdom.

And the prince and princess lived happily together.

"It's quite ordinary for Reality, but it's dark enough for a fairy tale," Chumen commented.

After all, it is a fairy tale, and the underlying tone should be bright, but this story has already profoundly exposed the ugly side of human nature.

"But this is still not the end of the story." Klein accelerated the story's progress again, and then Chumen saw the prince hooking up with the Mermaid Princess.

"..." Chumen was speechless again.

"Are you gathering all the prince and princess stories together?" Chumen raised his hand and pulled the story directly to the end.

"This prince?" Klein blinked, somewhat confused.

"So what do you want?" Chumen picked up another fairy tale book and turned his head to ask Klein.

Chumen outside the fairy tale opened his eyes, closed the fairy tale book directly, and put it back on the bookshelf.

Basically, they are all princess-level heroines.

Let Him call you Uncle Zhou... Chumen muttered to himself.

The prince was hacked to pieces by several evil witches; she wants a heart, you want a head, I want an arm, everyone is good friends.

Chumen's footsteps paused, and then he looked at Klein, "Have you made up your mind? A Demigod is a completely different level."

"Hiss..." Suddenly, Chumen thought of something.

Klein opened his mouth slightly; this "prince" does not possess black magic abilities, but "Fairy Tale Arrival" is not limited to just arriving with magic; the traits of certain fairy tale characters are not impossible either.

If he could possess Paper Figurines entirely through "Fairy Tale Arrival," Klein would already have the power to face a Demigod alone; if he made some preparations, completing the "Bizarro Sorcerer" ritual by himself would not be impossible.

"..." Klein knew what Chumen was thinking at this moment and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I want the formula for Sequence 4 of the 'Diviner' pathway!" Klein's eyes lit up as he said the thing he wanted most.

Clap clap! Chumen applauded lightly, shouting "brilliant," and then looked at the abilities of those evil witches: Frog Curse, Voice Spell, Ocean Magic, and Beast Transformation... these types of fairy tale black magic are very powerful.

"Hmm, I have a niece; I'll introduce you when I have time."

And the ending...

As he expected, the subsequent stories would involve Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast...

Then he thought of a certain trait of the prince: "Princess Killer," "Beautiful Girl Collector," "Love Swindler"...

Finally, it became the Evil Witch Alliance, dedicated to killing all the fickle-hearted.

"Can you 'Fairy Tale Arrive' this prince?" Chumen asked suddenly.

As far as what is presented here, Klein has initially fulfilled his responsibility to the Stable Phantom Abyss; as long as the Dark Fairy Tales here continue to generate and solidify, everything is under control.

"Yes! I've already decided." There was no longer any hesitation in Klein's eyes.

"Good, I can give you the formula, but your contribution this time seems to be lacking a bit." Klein took a shortcut, only expounding on those fairy tales in the form of books without creating a dark version of a "Fairy Tale Town."

Chumen reached out and pulled a progress bar from his side.

Klein's avatar, and a progress bar that was already eighty percent full.

"..." Klein looked at this progress bar and suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu; he wanted to complain, but didn't dare.

"You can continue to perfect this place, or you can go and accept some tasks arranged by the Phantom Realm; when the progress bar is full, you will be able to obtain the 'Bizarro Sorcerer' formula."

Klein nodded in understanding; he thought of the Dream Crystal Ball he had Above the Gray Fog; he could completely accept some tasks from the crystal ball to complete this progress.

"Okay!" Klein nodded heavily; Chumen could be considered to have pointed out another bright path for him.

"Then that's it for now; I'm going to take a nap." Chumen in Utopia turned directly into a pile of Dream Bubbles and dissipated away.

And when Klein's physical body in Reality opened his eyes, Bishop Chumen before him was already nowhere to be seen.

"I really envy such a life..." Klein shook his head slightly, left Chumen Manor, and returned home.

"Klein, have you eaten?" Melissa, wearing a chef's apron and holding a spoon, poked her head out to ask.

"Not yet." Klein washed his hands, finished lunch with Melissa, and only then returned to his room.

He performed the Reverse Four Steps to arrive Above the Gray Fog and reached out to summon the Dream Crystal Ball.

Come to think of it, this was Klein's first time accepting a Reality task for the Phantom Realm from here.

Other members of the "Tarot Club" have gained huge benefits from this Dream Crystal Ball, including but not limited to formulas and Characteristics.

"Now it's my turn, Mr. 'Fool'." A wisp of Klein's Spirituality extended inside.

Hum... Klein arrived at the Dream Temple in the Phantom Realm, and then a screen of light appeared before him.

Klein operated it a few times, locked onto Backlund, and the next second, many related tasks popped up on the light screen.

"Investigate the specific implementation effects of the Survival Act..." Klein saw something very abrupt.

"It seems Miss 'Justice' often accepts this type of task." Klein remembered the tasks of investigating the laws of the Loen Kingdom he had seen before.

Most of those tasks were accepted by Miss 'Justice,' and backed by a great family, she completed them all very well.

"I could accept it too; it just so happens that I'm preparing to take up a post recently."

The current Klein is a true "Fairy Tale Mage," a Sequence 5 of the "Dream" pathway; this is one of the highest-sequence Dream Sect members in all of Backlund, and he could easily obtain a Bishop position.

And the Dream Sect is one of the proposers and executors of the Survival Act, so one can access first-hand information within the Dream Sect.

"But why did the Phantom Realm issue such a task?"

According to Klein's understanding, the creator of the Phantom Realm, the "Supreme Dream," should not be concerned with these trivial matters.

"Or someone like me? A high-level member of the Dream Sect?"

Klein is only Sequence 5, but he also holds the authority over the Phantom Realm Abyss; logically speaking, other Dream Sect members also have such opportunities.

"Things that can be noticed by the high-level members of the Dream Sect will never be so simple."

Klein already had a certain stress response; after all, the Dream Sect's previous investigations and actions regarding the Witch Sect, the Blood Sect, and the Rose School of Thought were all extremely forward-looking, leading to a series of major events.

"Focus on this!"
