Chapter 1166

When the star cluster composed of massive erupting suns tore apart planets and pulled all matter toward itself, the pervasive grayish-white mist and the figure of Klein, wearing a half-top silk hat and a black long trench coat, also bent toward the "Supernova Dominator," this "Great Old One."

At the same time, Klein felt a shadow that seemed unreachable appear in the infinitely high place, and it was examining the "Spirit Body Threads" from a higher dimension, preparing to interfere, manipulate, influence, and destroy them.

"High-Dimensional Overseer"!

This is a "Great Old One" capable of restraining abilities like "Parasitism," "Marionette," and "Flash," and it possesses the corresponding symbol:

"Dimension"!

Viewed from a higher or lower dimension, the "Spirit Body Threads" are real and reachable; "Flash" only moves on a very small scale, and those creatures that are "parasitized" are bundled and coupled into one.

This makes the special ability of "The Fool" to manifest thousands of incarnations and appear everywhere ineffective, and the battle with the "High-Dimensional Overseer" can only rely on the main body.

Therefore, as long as a "High-Dimensional Overseer" exists on the battlefield, Klein can only rely on the pillar symbol to deal with one more "Great Old One."

But if it is just one-on-one, it cannot be said that the "Dimension" symbol of the "High-Dimensional Overseer" restrains the time and space within the "Change" symbol of "The Fool"; they mutually restrain each other. The "King of Time and Space" can likewise make it difficult for the "Lord of Dimensions" to effectively ascend and descend freely between various dimensions.

In that case, symbols like "Foolishness" are enough to make the "High-Dimensional Overseer" suffer. It is very difficult for Klein to truly kill it, but he can completely defeat it, banish it, and make it suffer quite a bit.

Besides the "High-Dimensional Overseer," there are three others who can influence the special ability of "The Fool" to manifest thousands of incarnations and fight one against many:

"King of Decay," "Unquenchable Mumbling," and "Primordial Hunger."

The "Decay" and "Must-Die" symbols of the "King of Decay" can make the death of a clone equal to the death of the main body, and the decay of the remaining shadow equal to the decay of the main body;

"Unquenchable Mumbling" seems to be of the same origin as the mental influence of the "Original Creator" left in the Beyonder characteristics; it is the beginning of all mumbling, capable of ignoring the interference of marionettes, clones, and shadows, directly emitting its own voice within the Source Quality and Uniqueness, transmitting its own madness, and implanting its own thoughts. Moreover, it has no real entity in the true sense, only attaching itself to certain things, making those things present specific colors or shapes;

"Primordial Hunger" symbolizes the instinct of "Aggregation," which can be used to forcibly pull Klein's main body to its side. Additionally, if it devours a clone or marionette, it can also absorb and erase the corresponding ability, reducing or even briefly eliminating the influence of the corresponding symbol.

If these four "Great Old Ones" were not present, "The Fool" Klein could undoubtedly hold off the remaining four by himself. At most, he couldn't win, but he would absolutely not lose, nor would he give them too many opportunities to interfere with other battlefields:

If the "Mother Tree of Desire" were still in its complete period, as the "Source of Curses," it could completely curse the main body by cursing clones and marionettes. Unfortunately, it currently lacks the symbol in this regard; the "Bound" Uniqueness and two "God of Mischief" Beyonder characteristics are still sealed by Klein, and the "Shadow World" also resists its influence;

Although "Supernova Dominator," a "Great Old One" more inclined toward the reality level, can influence time and space and distort dimensions by relying on symbols and concepts like "Density," "Heaviness," and "Attraction," for "The Fool," who controls change and can make the false true and the true false, at most, not confronting it head-on and interfering from the side is enough to hold it back;

"Circle of Inevitability" has symbols like "Past," "Present," "Future," "Cycle," and "Destined," which theoretically could influence the special abilities of marionettes, clones, and flashes, but it is exactly restrained by the combination of "King of Time and Space," "Beacon of Destiny," and "Error" concepts—if "The Fool" lacked any one of these targeted concepts, "Circle of Inevitability" would have a chance, and it would be impossible to be restrained so tightly, or even be counter-suppressed. But Klein has them all: "King of Time and Space" targets "Past," "Present," and "Future," "Beacon of Destiny" targets "Cycle," and "Error" targets "Destined";

The symbols of the "Goddess of Fate" are mainly concentrated in the field of fate and are inclined toward conscious manipulation, which is an opponent that the "Beacon of Destiny," possessing the "Foolishness" symbol, quite likes. As for the other important symbol of the "Goddess of Fate," "Immortality," Klein never thought he could truly kill it.

Based on previous information gathering and divination prophecies, Klein had long been clear about which ones should be intercepted and which ones could be guided and let go, hoping to hold off three to four "Great Old Ones" with his own strength, winning a chance for a breakthrough for other battlefields.

And how to guide the "Great Old Ones" he didn't want to deal with to other places, and let the ones he wanted to restrain stay, besides using "Fooling" and "Fraud," he also had to roughly grasp what the goals of those "Great Old Ones" were.

This was also one of the preparations Klein had made over the past month or so:

"High-Dimensional Overseer" craves Source Qualities related to rules, order, and time and space. Klein judged through divination and prophecy that it wanted "Land of Disorder" or "River of Eternal Darkness." If the "Great Old Ones" could concentrate most of their power to press "The Fool" back into the coffin, the "High-Dimensional Overseer" would also want to accommodate the "Door" pathway Uniqueness and "Error" pathway Uniqueness, and control the "Sefirah Castle";

"Unquenchable Mumbling" is highly likely to be full of thirst for the "Knowledge Moor" and seeks to control the "Chaos Sea," accommodating the "Hanged Man" pathway Uniqueness, "White Tower" pathway Uniqueness, and "Visionary" pathway Uniqueness;

"Primordial Hunger" will not let go of anything related to chaos and the primordial. Its goal should be to swallow the "City of Calamity," eat the "Chaos Sea" without digesting it, and absorb the "Hanged Man" and other related Uniquenesses—this is the normal state, but Klein suspects that "Primordial Hunger" might not be able to control the aggregation instinct and directly swallow the "Chaos Sea." If it develops into this situation, the situation will be more complex and troublesome;

The goal of the "King of Decay" is easy to judge; it wants both the "City of Calamity" and the "River of Eternal Darkness," but can only take one;

The "Mother Tree of Desire" must prioritize taking back the "Shadow World" and the corresponding Uniqueness and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics; this is its divine instinct;

"Circle of Inevitability" certainly wants the "Key of Light" the most, but the "City of Calamity" and the "River of Eternal Darkness" are also within its hunting range because these two pathways symbolize destined endings and various disasters. Additionally, like the "High-Dimensional Overseer," if "The Fool" is defeated by joint efforts, "Circle of Inevitability" would also not be unwilling to take charge of the "Sefirah Castle," accommodating the "Fool" Uniqueness and "Error" Uniqueness;

The goal of the "Supernova Dominator" is relatively difficult to judge. Klein can only roughly think that it wants the "City of Calamity" to obtain the "Cosmic Disaster" symbol, wants the "Knowledge Moor" to give itself and the galaxy more knowledge and a stronger civilization, and wants the "Land of Disorder" to complete the order and rules outside the laws of celestial motion. At the same time, it should also be interested in the "Chaos Sea" and the Uniquenesses of the "Sun" and "Storm" pathways;

The "Goddess of Fate" also prioritizes the "Key of Light," but if the "Sefirah Castle" is vacant, what it and the "Circle of Inevitability" want should be the same. As for the "Chaos Sea" and the related "White Tower" and "Visionary" Uniquenesses, Klein feels there is also a certain possibility.

After roughly grasping this information, Klein had long had a plan for what to do next.

The first thing he did was not to "graft" the Western Continent Buddha Kingdom and the "Shadow World" to his side, but to actively detach from the Astral World.

Suddenly, in the infinitely high place, the place overlooking the entire world, "The Fool" Klein, wearing black gloves, a dark trench coat, and holding a star-dust cane, emerged. He was abnormally huge, placed above all things, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers with a pop.

Accompanying this action, grayish-white mist instantly shrouded the Spirit World, the Spirit World of the entire universe.

"Supernova Dominator," "High-Dimensional Overseer," and other "Great Old Ones" immediately lost their sense of the Spirit World and could no longer have any influence on the Spirit World.

"The Fool," the ruler of the Spirit World!

This is a use of the pillar symbol!

From now on, for a certain period of time, unless permitted by "The Fool" Klein, no creature can enter the Spirit World again.

All their abilities, authorities, and symbols related to the Spirit World will be invalidated!

—The three pillars differ greatly in the use of their respective pillar symbols. For example, the "Primordial Demoness," this reality dominator, cannot seal reality, preventing any unauthorized person from entering and expelling all hostile ones; these behaviors cannot be realized. She can only make targets in reality suffer continuous weakening. But on the other hand, "Reality," as the foundation of the universe, will exist eternally unless everything ends, so the "Primordial Demoness" possesses the immortality characteristic and will never fall. As long as she doesn't want to, she will not be transferred or sealed.

When "The Fool" sealed the Spirit World, Lu Mian, with his three heads, three bodies, and six arms, was waiting for his target to appear.

Please... support... 6... 9... books...!

Since he hadn't died yet and hadn't collapsed, he would execute the next stage of the plan.

That plan was:

Take the initiative to attack and swallow a "Great Old One"!

The "Great Old Ones" outside the barrier can swallow another Source Quality to get closer to the pillar; I, the "Root of Calamity" and "Destructive Disaster," can too!

Don't you "Great Old Ones" have Source Qualities yourselves? What you can do, I can do too!

As for the problem of your spirits being immortal, and what will happen after swallowing, I'm about to die anyway, so why care about these things?

Lu Mian had long targeted this matter, selected a target, and made some preparations in advance.

For example, he had his honorific name in the Disease Church return to "Disease God."

And the previous "Disease God" pointed to the "King of Decay."
