Chapter 375: A Moment's Lapse

In the office of the Dream Church, a Paper Figurine clone was busy signing documents, while Klein's true body was hiding in the lounge, writing down the arrangements for advancing to Demigod.

"The ritual for 'Causality Attendant' is: through the method of manipulating causality, change the fate of at least ten thousand people; the more people, the better the effect, and hold the Gift ritual while carrying their blessings."

Such a Demigod ritual is, to a certain extent, quite outrageous. After all, these are ten thousand people, not ten thousand logs; each has their own thoughts, and the causality among them is intricate and complex, making it very easy for things to spiral out of control.

Moreover, the "blessing" at the end already sets the tone for the ritual. After all, there are many ways to manipulate causality and change fate; triggering a small-scale war would be enough to change the fate of tens of thousands of people.

After setting the tone that blessings were required, this ritual became even more difficult.

But Klein was not distressed because of this ritual, because in a sense, he had already completed the first half of the ritual

——as the Dream Bishop, over this past week, the fate trajectories of all the poor in the Backlund East District had been changed by him.

Causality and fate are connected; every choice he made and every signature he signed was an act of plucking the Causality Thread, starting from him and spreading throughout Backlund.

He entered the fray himself, and by acting with such a domineering style, he became the center of the greatest Storm. This is dangerous, as he was moving the Cake of those nobles, but he happened to be the Dream Bishop, and no one dared to make a move against him.

Of course, the rewards for this were also excellent; the "Bizarro Sorcerer" formula was in hand, and the ritual for "Causality Attendant" also had hope.

As Klein thought about it, he suddenly frowned, feeling some hesitation. Then, thinking of the ravings of the backlash he experienced when advancing to "Puppet Master," he gritted his teeth and went for it.

"Send a telegram to the Archbishops of the Storm Church and the Evernight Church, saying that I intend to hold a mass to proclaim divine miracles in the name of the two great Churches and the Dream Sect." Klein found the clergy of the Dream Sect and instructed them.

"I agree. Go and reply, then take the others and stand by outside." Klein turned and walked into the deepest part of the Dream Church's basement.

"……Each summoning believers in the name of their deities……" Klein's mouth twitched; this is what an Archbishop is.

The "Dream" Pathway can actually also create some Magical Items under some very special circumstances.

"……Of course, the Potion System is no better."

Unlike the Potion System, the Godhood of the Gift System comes directly from the "Supreme Dream"!

The theory that all things have Godhood is clearly inappropriate for the "Dream" Pathway. In the knowledge Klein obtained, it was explicitly told to him that Godhood comes from the "Supreme Dream".

It's just that with the Supreme Dream above, the Sealed Artifacts here can't stir up any trouble at all; they don't even need guarding.

"Yes!" The priest quickly went to send the telegram and, in a very short time, brought back the replies from the two Archbishops for Klein.

It's just that these things are essentially Dream Phosphor, and they won't have any strange or terrifying effects, so they don't need to be sealed.

But this is human nature; the implementation of this "Survival Act" alone is enough to gain the two great Churches many more devout believers.

It is not a Sealed Artifact, but a Magical Item.

"This system of accepting Godhood from a supreme existence is simply too evil. If I am accidentally eroded, will it still be me?"

"Dream" is the intersection point of the two great Churches; Klein's leverage of their influence should be able to succeed.

There is also a place here similar to the Chanis Gate of the Evernight Church.

He is even more wary of the so-called transformation of Godhood.

And Klein had come to retrieve an important Magical Item.

"Therefore, the ritual must be refined to better stabilize the self and prevent the 'Supreme Dream' from remodeling my self……"

He must become a "Causality Attendant" as soon as possible, and only after adapting for a period of time should he go to advance to "Bizarro Sorcerer," otherwise he fears he won't be able to withstand those terrifying ravings.

And as the Backlund Bishop, Klein has the authority to activate such Magical Items.

"If I'm going to do it, I'll do it big. The identity of John Constantine is a monthly disposable one anyway."

Klein was not prepared to stay in this position for long; he planned to stir up trouble one more time and then withdraw.

Is this perhaps a common ailment of the Dream Sect? Even this kind of position with real power is being shunned.

"Go and fetch the Scripture!" Klein walked to the end of the underground passage, gently touched a stone, and input a wisp of Dream Phosphor into it.

Click!

A Bronze Gate slowly opened, revealing a Magical Item inside.

Without excessive decoration, it was just an ordinary crystal lamp; under the crystal lamp was a Scripture that seemed to carry history.

"The Scripture written by the 'Supreme Dream' personally!"

Klein felt inexplicably awestruck as he came here.

"Dream Scripture," this is the most powerful Magical Item of the Backlund Dream Church.

This is one of the origins of the "Dream Sect"; in fact, this is also one of the reasons why the Dream Sect can possess such great Authority in Backlund.

Klein wants to take this "Dream Scripture" to build momentum and attract numerous believers to come and worship.

……

Qiunas Colger and Herwin Rambis, one in the capacity of Deputy Director of MI9 and the other as a royal advisor, arrived at the palace of the Loen Kingdom to meet with King George III of Loen.

"See for yourselves." Before the two Demigods could even salute, two documents were sent before their eyes.

"John Constantine intends to unite with the Storm and Evernight Churches to hold a mass to proclaim the majesty and mercy of the deities?"

This……

Both Demigods were stunned by this news.

How can this John Constantine stir up so much trouble?!

"He has crossed the line." George III's cold voice rang out; the friendliness toward this Bishop John that was rumored before could no longer be seen.

"Yes!" Major General Qiunas stood at attention and saluted, responding.

"What does he want to do?!" Herwin Rambis was not a minister of George III, so he dared to ask.

Offending the nobles was one thing, but now he is coming to offend the Augustus Family?!

Royal power was already awkward enough under divine power, and you are still doing this kind of thing?!

"Go and give him a warning." George III's voice entered the two men's ears once again.

"……" The two Demigods looked at each other, lowered their heads, and then left.

And after they left, this magnificent palace fell back into silence.

"Using the prestige of deities to lower the majesty of the law." George III's voice appeared again, only this time it lacked the coldness and aloofness he had shown to the two Demigods earlier.

"Does he know something? Or is the 'Supreme Dream' not allowing……" George III's voice held a bit more suspicion and uncertainty.

If it were the latter reason, everything would lose its meaning.

"It cannot be the 'Supreme Dream'." A deep, resonant voice sounded from deeper within the palace.

Because the 'Supreme Dream' had made a promise not to hinder the birth of a True God.
