Chapter 395: Sefirah Castle Anomaly

~7 min read 1,234 words

Klein's spirit was inexplicably elevated; his entire being seemed to have arrived at a great height in an instant, looking down upon the surroundings of the Dream Church.

At this moment, in his eyes, everyone who had once witnessed this performance of murder had invisible threads connecting them to his body.

Were these Spirit Body Threads or Causality Threads? He was already somewhat confused.

But this did not hinder Klein from viewing all of this with a detached gaze, devoid of the slightest personal emotion.

This state caused his spirit to begin to settle, and he felt the power of the Potion dispersing within his body.

It was just that this was likely not a good thing.

The power of the Potion transformed into a silk web denser than the Causality Threads, slicing Klein into countless tiny parts, from his spiritual body to his flesh and blood.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, Klein let out a miserable scream, becoming countless Kleins; and on his original body, countless buds turned into transparent worms, as if they would collapse into a pile of insects the next instant.

This caused Klein's body to intuitively manifest abstract concepts such as weirdness, madness, change, and knowledge.

The intensity of two of these "Anchors" was unimaginable, allowing Klein to instantly stabilize his spirit so as not to lose control.

"It's Bishop Chumen and Adam!" Klein felt this intuition; the weight of these two was even greater than he had imagined!

Klein opened his eyes and frowned; he unexpectedly discovered that he was in a spirit body state, and he was located Above the Gray Fog!

"Shouldn't I be in Utopia?" Utopia was his originally planned place of rest, where he could obtain safety not inferior to being Above the Gray Fog; most importantly, his own body and his puppets could enter.

It was like a curtain, also like a quilt, and now it was also like a cloak.

He probably didn't know how long he had slept in this "Cocoon" to have left behind such a dense aura.

These "Cocoons" were all empty.

Klein turned his head abruptly; he looked at one of the "Cocoons" and felt his own aura.

That light gate was composed of countless layers of light orbs, and the essence of those individual light orbs was piles of twisted worms huddled together; some were transparent, and some were translucent.

It was probably also at this time that a curtain of night suddenly moved and landed gently on Klein.

Klein's eyes were dazed for a moment, his mouth slightly agape, unable to make a sound.

He saw things he could not see when he was at Sequence 5; at the end of the stairs was a brilliant light gate stained with a cyan-black color.

There was probably no need to guess what was inside the remaining "Cocoons."

"But it's all fine, it's very safe here too..." Klein suddenly raised his head and looked into the depths of the mysterious space Above the Gray Fog; with a single thought, he arrived at the top of the Kingdom of God stairs.

However, before Klein lost control and collapsed into insects, those spectators who watched his drama had provided Klein with "Anchors" accordingly.

Additionally, above the light, black threads hung down, suspending nearly transparent "Cocoons" one by one.

Its two corners tied a playful knot in front of Klein's neck, as if doing so would allow it to completely merge with Klein.

"Old Mysteries! Get lost! This is the body I've taken a fancy to!"

Suddenly, a bizarre voice came from Klein's body, and the "Dream Blessing" that had fallen onto Klein's spirit body erupted with ten thousand rays of phosphor light at this moment.

A flustered and exasperated emotion surged from the cloak, and evil, mysterious patterns manifested from the cloak, wanting to enter and crowd out Klein's body.

But how could the power of Dream, which was itself within Klein's body, tolerate the entry of that mysterious power?

Boom!

Above the Gray Fog, the Dream Crystal Ball and the Dream Card both bloomed with brilliant radiance.

These were all Dream-related items that Chumen had given to Klein through various channels, eventually gaining Klein's trust and bringing them up as the master of Sefirah Castle.

And now, these related items became nodes connecting to the Dream Book, projecting Chumen's power into Sefirah Castle.

Boom—!

The entire Sefirah Castle was in an uproar because of the arrival of the Dream Phosphor; the Gray Fog surged continuously, wanting to wash away the Dream Phosphor completely.

This was the rule set by the "Lord of the Mysteries": the power of Dream must not appear within the scope of Sefirah Castle.

The Dream Phosphor surging out from the Dream Crystal Ball and the Dream Card rushed up, but after all, it was inside Sefirah Castle; unless the Dream Book was thrown in, being cleared away was only a matter of time.

But it was precisely during this extremely short period of time that Sefirah Castle could not interfere with the struggle on Klein's body!

"Wake up!" Chumen's voice carried the powerful force of turning Fantasy into reality, and Klein's reason, which had been lost due to the huge impact, returned directly.

"This is..." Klein noticed the cloak on his body for the first time; it gave Klein a feeling of evil, mysterious fear.

"Integrate the Dream Phosphor into the Spirit Worms." Chumen's voice sounded again.

Klein nodded subconsciously, calling upon the Dream Phosphor within his body, letting the Dream Phosphor gradually integrate into each of his Spirit Worms.

This process was very smooth and very fast under Klein's willingness; in just a single instant, all the Spirit Worms were dyed with the color of Dream.

And after the Dream Phosphor spread throughout the Spirit Worms, these Spirit Worms instinctively resisted the integration of that mysterious, evil power.

"Handle the rest yourself!" Chumen's voice disappeared directly, leaving behind Klein, who was still somewhat dazed.

Klein gave a start; the events that had just occurred suddenly appeared in his mind—the curtain of night that had become his psychological shadow since he became a "Puppet Master" was draped behind him!

This made Klein unable to even care about the "Cocoon" in front of him; he summoned the Dream Card and directly used the power of "Person in the Painting" to stuff the Dream Card into the cloak.

A force of Dream slowly bloomed on the cloak, gradually forming a symbol of the Dream Book.

This was equivalent to a Seal.

Klein reached out to untie the knot tied in front of his neck, but suddenly discovered that he could not reach it, let alone untie it!

"It can't be untied, it can't be taken off." This thought flashed through Klein's mind.

"Bishop Chumen couldn't do it either..." He suddenly understood why Bishop Chumen had left so quickly.

Above the Gray Fog, the Dream Phosphor was only an auxiliary and did not have such great power.

"Bishop Chumen helped me stabilize the present, but this cloak will constantly affect me."

Klein sat back in the seat of the "Fool," hugging the Dream Crystal Ball and staring blankly.

And at this very moment, the Gray Fog over Backlund had already disappeared, and Chumen also opened his eyes.

That was a dead knot; Chumen could not break Klein's connection with Sefirah Castle, so naturally, he could not untie that knot.
