Chapter 440: Probing

~7 min read 1,208 words

Trissy's appearance was also within Klein's expectations, and her appearance also meant that his disguise had likely been completely stripped away by now.

It is indeed quite troublesome...

Klein was just preparing to Virtualize into a pile of bubbles again, but he suddenly discovered that his body was somewhat sluggish, and then the use of his ability failed!

"I am the person who knows you best!" Trissy blinked, the blue radiance of the Ring in her hand flickering, flowing along that spiderweb toward Klein.

Klein blinked and automatically translated this sentence; what Trissy understood was the "True Apostle" and not him.

The Witch Sect had been coveting Dream believers for more than a day or two, so naturally, they had a deep understanding of the "Dream" Pathway; using this "Primordial Witch" Ring to make himself fail once was not an unacceptable thing.

He glanced at Trissy to confirm that she was still Sequence 4, currently relying only on the Sapphire Ring.

"Then let's do it again." Klein's gaze fell on the spiderweb that filled the entire Space, wisps of Dream Phosphor erupting from his pupils.

Hum!

In an instant, the Space seemed to turn into an illusion, and Klein had already broken free from that spiderweb.

"It is already too late." Zaratul's voice suddenly rang out in Klein's ear.

He had actually already arrived behind Klein, and Klein had felt nothing!

"The power of 'Hidden'... The 'Diviner' Pathway inherently masters a certain amount of Hidden power, and as an Angel, Zaratul was already able to utilize this kind of power."

"I wish for Klein Moretti's Spirituality to riot, unable to be controlled."

Zaratul's voice entered Klein's mind, then suddenly exploded.

"This is a 'Miracle'!" Klein felt the Spirituality inside his body suddenly explode, tearing at his consciousness in an absolutely disordered form; his body stiffened, unable to move.

"Spirituality" is one of the most prominent characteristics of the "Dream" Pathway, especially for a Dual-Pathway Beyonder like Klein; the strength of his Spirituality was completely no worse than an Angel's.

But once Spirituality riots, this power would also cause an extremely terrifying impact on Klein.

"I wish for all of Klein Moretti's resisting powers to be weakened!" Zaratul had actually made a second Wish without a moment's pause.

"Uh..." While feeling the riot of Spirituality within his body, Klein also felt that some of his abilities had actually become ineffective.

The snap he was about to make was stuck; his methods of self-rescue had decreased by a few.

"Is this a 'Miracle'?" Klein's understanding of this power deepened; this should have been the Authority of a god.

"Return to my embrace." Klein felt Trissy's whisper.

Hum... The bracelet on Klein's hand was trembling slightly, but it was pressed down by Klein.

The current him seemed to be constantly entering dangerous situations, but don't forget that he had only pulled out one Historical Projection; adding the "Snake of Fate" and himself, there were only three.

This was the limit of an "Ancient Scholar," but not the limit of a "True Apostle."

Klein's body directly Virtualized, turning into a cluster of Dream Bubbles, and appeared in another corner of the Space.

"An Angel's 'Wish' is not so easy to evade." Zaratul reached out and grabbed empty air, but Klein, who had just manifested his form, once again entered the state of being forcibly controlled by the two "Wishes."

His illusion could escape an Angel's Wish, but once he restored his physical form, he would once again bear this "Wish."

"It is a pity you are not the original body." Klein's body suddenly became faint—not an illusion, but "Hidden," an ability from the "Hidden Angel" that Klein had manifested.

The "Hidden" state allowed Klein to evade the arrival of the "Wish."

"Not the original body?" Zaratul's Spirituality stirred slightly, looking at Klein as if he had sensed something, "So that is why I could not control your Spirit Body Thread?"

He had clearly held Klein's Spirit Body Thread earlier, yet could not exert the corresponding effect.

Zaratul took a deep breath, "I did not expect that the combination of 'Diviner' and 'True Apostle' could achieve such a thing; even I cannot distinguish the true from the false."

He had already confirmed that the current Klein was not the original body.

But to say he was disappointed, that would not be the case; if a "Diviner" sent their original body to fight, that would be too easy to kill.

Generally speaking, what appears before you will be a Historical Projection or a Marionette.

It was just that Zaratul did not expect that Klein's clone could now be so realistic as to be indistinguishable from the real thing, even possessing a Spirit Body Thread; even he, an Angel, could not tell the true from the false.

"You are fake?!" Trissy's expression dimmed, but she quickly adjusted, "Since your clone is so real, why not come with me."

Klein:...

He did not look at Trissy again, and his body began to dissipate.

Zaratul's gaze darkened, and he reached out to grab a few times, but he failed; he was unable to keep this clone.

"Farewell." Klein nodded slightly to show respect.

At the same time, Miss Ancestor and the "Snake of Fate" on Klein's hand also collapsed and turned into a fog of history.

Zaratul watched Klein disappear with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Trissy turned around in disappointment; she did not say anything and left directly.

"I have waited for hundreds of years; I am not in a hurry for this bit of time." Zaratul suddenly spoke.

"Then you just keep waiting." Klein's voice sounded again, and he left completely.

"So this is Zaratul..." Klein's consciousness returned to his original body, and he pinched the space between his brows, feeling a bit of a headache.

This extremely abrupt battle was actually a probe.

Both sides were confirming the other's identity, then probing the enemy's various abilities.

Klein had exposed his current Sequence, but he had also experienced the power of a "Wish" and learned of Trissy's existence.

"As for Zaratul..." His original body had not appeared, and he had only summoned one Historical Projection; although he had exposed a group of Marionettes, it was of no consequence.

They were both attempting to grasp certain information about the other and make targeted arrangements in order to achieve a Must-Kill at a certain moment; this was the instinct of a "Diviner."

"You 'Diviners' are all like this; you never enter the fray with your real bodies, always sending Historical Projections," the "Snake of Fate" complained.

"The one who left the deepest impression on me was Old Zarathul; that guy stayed in the fog of history year-round, not even seeing his own son or clansmen, hiding for a full few hundred years!"

"Eh? This method is not bad!" Klein's eyes lit up, but he quickly reacted, "Being so cautious, then how did he die?"

"He was simply unlucky; half a 'Fool' and a 'Door' who was only one ritual away joined forces to target him; he died as dead as one could be."

Klein was speechless for a moment; in the face of absolute power, there is no way to hide from it.
