Chapter 439: Zaratul
Klein walked out of Saint Samuel Cathedral with a calm expression, but the moment he stepped over the threshold, his spirituality suddenly jolted.
"Danger?!" Klein was instantly alert; after becoming a "True Apostle," his spiritual intuition for danger had evolved to the point where he could sense it the moment someone took action against him.
This ability was a higher-level application of the "Causality Thread" of a "Causality Attendant."
Of course, it was not to the extent of the "Writer" who could obtain the other party's information; it merely triggered his own spirituality.
"Someone is watching this place." Klein thought thoughtfully, continuing to walk forward while gently plucking at the Causality Thread.
"Deacon! The Captain was just looking for you!" Suddenly, a "Red Glove" caught up to Klein's pace.
"Leonard? Alright, I'll go back." Klein turned around and walked back into Saint Samuel Cathedral.
Sure enough, the moment Klein turned around, that premonition vanished.
"An enemy targeting me, one who has even discovered my identity..."
Klein returned to his office with a calm expression; naturally, he did not see Leonard, as that "Red Glove" had merely had his fate influenced by Klein through the Causality Thread, indirectly hypnotizing him.
"Your fate fluctuated a little just now." The "Snake of Fate" reminded him at the right moment.
It really is nice to have such a detection snake... Klein nodded silently.
"Someone has their eyes on me." Klein sat on the sofa and brewed himself a pot of black tea.
"Is it the Augustus Family? Although they have reached an agreement with the Church, there is still a certain possibility they might make a move against me."
"And then there is Trissy... could she have really tracked down something?"
"Other enemies include Amon, Zaratul, and even that legendary Antigonus..."
"You..." The "Snake of Fate" was speechless. "Fortunately, I only have one enemy on the path of a stupid snake."
Klein could do nothing about this; walking the "Diviner" path was just like this.
"Too many enemies, and too few clues; I cannot determine which one has set their sights on me." Klein could not be sure, but he was not in a hurry; at the very least, while staying in Saint Samuel Cathedral, he was very safe.
"Lure the snake out of its hole!" Klein rubbed his chin, reached out to the side, pulled out a Sherlock, and then performed "Realization."
A clone that could pass for the real thing appeared.
Klein's main body clenched his fist to support his head, his consciousness moving to the clone. "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."
The "Snake of Fate," who was also in a clone state now, was having the most reckless moment of its life; the bracelet flew up directly and landed on Klein's clone.
"Travel" flashed through Klein's mind, and he reached out to pull, opening a "Traveler's Door" to teleport to the Backlund East District.
But at this instant, Klein sensed a kind of attraction; his travel had been interfered with!
"Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence!" Klein reacted instantly, but at this moment, Klein had already seen a familiar figure.
Zaratul's deep gaze fell upon Klein, his face filled with intense surprise.
"So it was you."
"It really was you."
Klein and Zaratul spoke one after another, both confirming their guesses.
"Ya"! "Ya"!
The cathedral behind Zaratul suddenly opened; it was a black, spire-topped cathedral, and countless corpses, or rather, marionettes, were hanging inside.
These corpses suddenly lowered their heads and looked at Klein, bringing a strong mental shock to him.
But Klein was also someone who had experienced being a "Bizarro Sorcerer," and his acceptance of such eerie scenes was already very high.
He did not care about those marionettes at all, only staring at Zaratul; from his perspective, Zaratul seemed somewhat strange.
Snap! Klein felt his Spirit Body Thread flying toward Zaratul, about to be controlled in His hands.
Uh, the current Klein was a clone, but he did indeed possess a Spirit Body Thread; this was also a "hallucination" from Realization.
Klein reached out to grab it, but he grabbed nothing, finally discovering the strangeness of the Zaratul before him.
"Historical Projection?" Klein's eyelids twitched; he had finally experienced the disgusting aspect of this ability—he could not find Zaratul's Causality Thread!
" 'Causality Attendant'..." Zaratul nodded suddenly, seemingly having sensed Klein's intention to find His Causality Thread.
Klein had once again encountered an enemy whose Causality Thread he could not grasp; the last time was Amon.
It was also at this moment that Zaratul had already completed the control of Klein's Spirit Body Thread.
"You?" But Klein was not controlled as He had expected, nor had he broken free from the control.
This bizarre situation left even Zaratul surprised and suspicious.
"Space Confinement!" Zaratul's eyes darkened; a Historical Projection of an angel formed from starlight walked out from beside Him, reached out and pressed down, and this entire void was completely confined.
" 'Traveler'?" Seeing this, Klein also pulled out a Historical Projection: "Rose Pontiff"!
This was Miss Messenger in her prime.
The space where Klein was located instantly collapsed, turning into a terrifying space storm that swept through everything.
Klein reached out and pressed down on Miss Pontiff's shoulder; with a pop, both of them turned into a cluster of dreamlike bubbles, and the terrifying space storm could not cause any damage to the two of them.
This was another usage of "Reality-Illusion Transformation."
" 'True Apostle'!" Zaratul's eyes suddenly erupted with a dark, gloomy light.
He was a person of the Solomon Empire and also the head of an "Angel Family," so He was naturally extremely knowledgeable about the "Dream" pathway.
"You actually obtained such favor." Zaratul's expression was solemn, but the next instant, He became firm again; since He had decided to participate in this competition, it was impossible to withdraw.
Klein appeared at the edge of the sealed space, unable to get far away.
At the same time, he also saw the starlight; in this space, he could not be faster than a "Traveler."
Miss Pontiff suddenly raised her head, looked at this figure formed from starlight, and slightly opened her mouth.
The invisible attack caused the starlight to become chaotic and the space to tremble slightly.
Klein was forced into a corner, and as he appeared in this corner, a certain extremely eerie feeling came from this confined space.
Klein was actually somewhat horrified.
"I have finally found you." A voice drilled into Klein's mind, sobbing and pleading, making Klein feel terrible.
It was also at this moment that Klein finally discerned what he had encountered; in his perception of Spirituality, this corner was already covered in spiderwebs!
He was like an ignorant Prey who had voluntarily jumped into this trap.
"It is the power of a 'Miracle Invoker'!" Klein confirmed this power; only such suppression in status could have prevented his Spirituality from giving a warning, causing him to fall into the trap.
"Do not be afraid, it is only temporary." Trissy walked out from the depths of the darkness, looking at Klein in the trap with gentle eyes.
