Chapter 436: WAR

"I treat you as a friend, yet you actually dare to treat me as a bodyguard?!" The "Snake of Fate" glared fiercely upon hearing Klein's words.

Under the realization power of Dream Phosphor, the "Snake of Fate" had almost reached the point in its life where its humanity was at its peak.

"I have finally experienced the treatment of a foolish snake!" the "Snake of Fate" suddenly sighed with emotion. It slithered in the air, its body shrinking, and landed on Klein's shoulder.

"'Angel of Fate' Ouroboros?" Klein asked curiously.

"That's the one!" The "Snake of Fate" said, not knowing whether it was with disdain or envy, "'True Creator' is Dream's staunchest ally, so naturally, it can borrow Dream's power. That foolish snake is lucky and got to share in the benefits."

"'True Creator'?" Klein was slightly stunned, suddenly recalling the famous scene of "Dream assassinating the Creator" in the fog of history.

His spirituality stirred slightly as he thought of something, "'True Creator' appeared at the end of the Third Epoch and the beginning of the Fourth Epoch, inheriting the faith of the Third Epoch Creator..."

"Gulp..." Klein couldn't help but ask, "Who is the 'True Creator'?"

"The former 'Vice Sovereign of Heaven', the 'Dark Angel'!" The "Snake of Fate's" tone suddenly became heavy; it did not dare to speak that name.

Klein could only say that it was as expected.

"Let's not worry about this for now, let's go home first." Klein walked out of Utopia and returned home, and the "Snake of Fate" was quite decent, not withdrawing its consciousness immediately; instead, it connected its head to its tail, coiled into a ring, and turned into a bracelet that slipped onto Klein's wrist.

"Do I have a 'portable grandpa' now too?" Klein chuckled.

Monday, 3:00 PM, Klein arrived Above the Gray Fog on time to convene this week's Tarot Club.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool..." It was still Miss Justice's greeting, but it seemed to lack a hint of cheerfulness.

Klein felt something in his heart and nodded gently toward Miss Justice.

"Everyone, a war that will sweep across the entire Northern Continent and even the world is about to begin," Miss Justice warned in a heavy tone.

As a top-tier noble, she was able to receive this kind of information the earliest.

"War?" The members of the Tarot Club looked at each other, but they also felt it was reasonable. As early as a month ago, Mr. World had already given a warning, which gave them a certain level of psychological preparation.

"I received news that the Castiya Family has already gathered nearly thirty percent of their troops toward Loen, and Feysac is also increasing its forces." There was a rare hint of bewilderment in Miss Justice's tone.

The impact of this kind of world-class war on anyone was enormous.

"The Evernight Church has already issued official documents, preparing at any moment for a Holy War with the God of War Church," Leonard the "Star" hesitated for a moment before adding.

"Loen's MI9 is already in a wartime state," Xue the "Judgment" also said.

At this moment, everyone felt the scent of war rushing toward them.

"Why?" Miss Justice asked softly. Once the war began, the lives of the poor in the East District of Backlund might fall back to the bottom overnight, even though things had only been getting better for a few months.

"Because of the Doomsday," World replied coldly.

Klein was prepared to reveal some important intelligence to these friends of his.

"Every one of you has likely heard of the Doomsday; it is real, and the current war is merely competing for more capital to welcome the final Doomsday."

Mr. World's words echoed Above the Gray Fog, bringing an unimaginable mental shock to everyone.

The group subconsciously looked at the convener of the gathering, Mr. Fool, hoping to receive revelation from Him.

"Heh..." Mr. Fool chuckled and said, "Augustus wants to become a god."

Klein's dual-line operation had reached its peak, easily bluffing everyone.

Especially the claim of becoming a god, which was even more hair-raising.

"This will be a war that affects the world; we need to protect ourselves well." After no one spoke for a long time, World finally suggested.

"Alright then," the one who adjusted her emotions the fastest was still Miss Justice. She looked at World and asked, "Mr. World, do you have that Beyonder Characteristic of a 'Manipulator'?"

Miss Justice decided to raise her Sequence to face the problems that might arise.

"Yes." Klein nodded slightly. After having the Historical Projection, Herwin Rambis no longer had any value.

The other members of the Tarot Club also looked at each other, feeling a sense of urgency.

Mr. Fool looked at the Tarot Club, which had already begun to "roll" (compete), and nodded with satisfaction. A stronger Tarot Club had many benefits for him.

"As for the war..." Klein had been preparing for a ritual recently, but before the ritual, he had personally witnessed that hidden war between the Augustus Family and the Castiya Family; all the Angels had been dispatched.

But in the end, it was Augustus who obtained that "Order Scepter." The materials for becoming a god that William Augustus had collected were likely only missing that "Hand of Order" from the Castiya Family.

From this perspective, Loen and Feynapot could not possibly be at peace. Not only did Augustus want to get rid of Castiya, but Castiya would not give Augustus the chance to prepare for the ritual.

"Not to mention there is still a 'Hidden Angel'."

Klein shook his head slightly. After the exchange was mostly finished, he ended the gathering and returned to Reality himself.

"Did you just go to the Phantom Realm? I couldn't sense your astral projection." The "Snake of Fate" bracelet on Klein's wrist vibrated, and a voice rang in Klein's ear.

"Something like that." Klein did not reveal anything about the Gray Fog.

"I'm going to Saint Samuel Cathedral in a while; won't you be discovered?" Klein suddenly thought of a problem as he was about to set off.

"As long as it's not 'Evernight' in person, then there's no problem." The "Snake of Fate" was very confident.

Hmm... Klein nodded gently. However, after he arrived at Saint Samuel Cathedral, the bracelet on his hand suddenly vibrated violently, and then, after a split second, it went still.

Klein subconsciously looked at his wrist. The two red eyes of the "Snake of Fate" bracelet had dimmed; the consciousness of the "Snake of Fate" had withdrawn, leaving only an empty shell.

"..." Klein was speechless for a moment, then he turned his head to look at the "Hidden Angel" who had appeared abruptly behind him.

The "Hidden Angel's" gaze was fixed on the "Snake of Fate" on Klein's wrist.

Even without the consciousness of the "Snake of Fate," this was a product of "Historical Projection" and "Conversion of Reality and Illusion," possessing roughly half the power of an Angel.

"So much for 'Evernight'; you didn't even pass the 'Hidden' hurdle..." Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart, then bowed to the "Hidden Angel."
