Chapter 23: Chaos Ends

Audrey and the others saw that this mysterious man never spoke, and they immediately felt doubtful.

But just then, Klein suddenly felt a stir in his heart, sensing that the grey mist space seemed about to undergo some change.

Following that sensation, his fingers lightly tapped the edge of the bronze table.

Hum

The next moment, the entire grey mist space seemed to vibrate, and ripples like water waves appeared, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

In everyone's curious gaze, the grey-white mist swirled, and a card with mysterious patterns appeared on the bronze table, exactly a tarot card.

One card after another flew out, landing respectively on the tables before Klein, Audrey, Alger, and Feng Yi.

Before Klein was the Fool card, before Audrey the Justice card, and before Alger the Hanged Man card—these are the Major Arcana cards corresponding to the titles they chose.

But unlike everyone else, the tarot card before Feng Yi seemed not to be among the twenty-two Major Arcana cards.

It was a card that should not exist; its pattern looked as if it had been randomly smeared, with no concrete form, giving a feeling of inexplicable chaos.

But if observed carefully, within that randomly smeared pattern, it seemed to contain everything in the world, embracing all.

"Chaos" card!

The moment they saw this card, its name automatically surfaced in Audrey and the others' minds, leaving them in a daze.

"Chaos card? Among the twenty-two Major Arcana tarot cards, is there a Chaos card?"

Full of doubt, Audrey and Alger discovered that the tarot deck in the center of the bronze table still had nineteen cards left.

"This"

"Aren't there supposed to be twenty-two Major Arcana tarot cards in total? How does this tarot deck before us have twenty-three?"

With doubt in their hearts, Audrey and Alger unconsciously turned their gaze to the mysterious Mr. Fool, secretly guessing the purpose of this great being's action.

In their view, since Mr. Fool did this, there must be a profound meaning.

At the same time, Audrey and Alger's reverence for the mysterious man who received the Chaos card grew ever stronger.

One who could earn such attention from Mr. Fool and still hold a tarot card completely different from everyone's must be an equally powerful being.

Meanwhile, Klein, seated in the chief position and regarded as the protagonist of this affair, was also full of bewilderment.

What happened?

I merely tapped the table casually—how could such a change occur?

Does this grey mist space have its own consciousness?

Thinking this, Klein's heart tightened involuntarily, and he secretly grew wary.

At the same time, seeing that Chaos card which did not belong to the twenty-two Major Arcana, he couldn't help but feel speechless, and he couldn't restrain himself from complaining.

"What is this? There are supposedly twenty-two tarot cards, but actually there are twenty-three?"

"And moreover, Chaos, this name—"

However, though his mind was filled with miscellaneous thoughts, facing Audrey and Alger's gazes, Klein still maintained a mysterious demeanor, showing no abnormality, as if indeed it was he who had done it just now.

"Chaos card? Chaos?"

"What does this mean? I'd be fine with a tarot card related to fate, but pulling out a Chaos card that doesn't even exist—what the hell is this?"

Looking at the tarot card before him that differed from others', Feng Yi's heart rose with the recent change, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"First it influenced me, trying to make me choose the World card; now that things can't be done, does it want me to choose this Chaos card instead?"

"This is the enigmatic lord who plays with time, space, and fate."

"Interesting, it seems this world is indeed quite off."

Thinking this, Feng Yi's heart stirred, and his spiritual sense faintly felt that this card might be useful for his future.

"Chaos card? Come on, let me see what fate this nonexistent tarot card will bring me."

He directly picked up the Chaos card before him, and Feng Yi spoke with an inexplicable tone: "My title is Chaos."

Though his voice was soft, the moment it fell, it seemed to stir some subtle vibration that does not exist in the mortal world, causing ripples to spread in Feng Yi's heart.

"Alright."

Upon hearing that even the most mysterious Mr. Chaos had also chosen a title, though the title seemed a bit off, Audrey couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, she looked toward Klein with some anticipation and said cautiously: "Mr. Fool, we are now essentially the founding members of the Tarot Society; what do you think?"

Klein lightly nodded, speaking in an indifferent tone: "It's fine."

This was originally his plan, so naturally he had no objections.

At the same time, his heart grew ever more curious about the mysterious man who had obtained the special Chaos card.

But to avoid exposing himself, Klein remained silent, adopting a casual demeanor as if everything were under his control.

After all, everything here is still under his control; he can sever the connection at any time, kick them out, and thus there's no need to worry too much.

The opponent is in the light, he is in the dark; in the future there will surely be a chance to uncover the details of this Mr. Chaos.

Moreover, he also wanted to use this opportunity to study the condition of this grey mist space.

Thinking this, Klein temporarily set his mind at ease, continuing to listen to Audrey and Alger's exchange to obtain useful information.

"It is said that Emperor Roselle once looked at the Blasphemy Slate, and then created a mysterious card that contained the mysteries of the twenty-two divine pathways; the tarot cards of today were made by him referencing that mysterious card?"

"Now it seems that the so-called mysterious card made by Emperor Roselle, said to contain the mysteries of the twenty-two divine pathways, actually contains the mysteries of the True God of Sequence 0."

While speaking, Alger turned his gaze toward the Mr. Chaos who understood the secrets of the True God, seemingly seeking his confirmation.

Upon hearing this, Audrey also subconsciously turned her gaze to Feng Yi, while Klein, although appearing as if he already knew these secrets and was indifferent to them, actually focused his mind.

"Hmm, just as Mr. Hanged Man said."

After glancing at everyone, Feng Yi nodded slightly and said softly: "The Blasphemy Slate records the mysteries of the twenty-two sequences; Roselle, having seen the Blasphemy Slate, therefore made twenty-two blasphemy cards, each bearing a complete potion formula and promotion ritual from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0."

"Indeed so."

"The twenty-two divine pathways!"

Upon hearing the confirmation from the mysterious Mr. Chaos, Audrey and the others couldn't help but reveal a look of longing.

At the same time, they increasingly felt that this Mr. Chaos's mystery and power were actually clear as day regarding these things.

"Right!"

Just then, Feng Yi seemed to think of something, his tone carrying a hint of warning as he said: "This knowledge is still too advanced for you now; although it hasn't reached the level of causing pollution, after leaving The Fool's place, it's best not to mention it casually, after all it involves the true god."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Chaos, for the reminder!"

Although they didn't know why, hearing this mysterious Mr. Chaos speak so solemnly, Audrey and Alger were not oblivious people; moreover, they also deeply revered the true god in their hearts, and quickly echoed.

On the other side, Klein, seated in the chief position, hurriedly committed these words to memory like a student in class.

At the same time, he suddenly felt a headache, as if his connection with the surrounding gray‑white mist were about to break, realizing he had reached his limit.

To avoid exposing himself, he decisively tapped the edge of the bronze table with his finger, drawing several people's attention, then calmly said: "Alright, this gathering ends here."

"I will follow your will!"

Seeing The Fool, this true god, speak, Audrey and Alger, although they still had many questions they wanted to ask that mysterious Mr. Chaos, nevertheless hurriedly performed a salute.

Feng Yi also vaguely understood that Klein's spirituality had reached its limit, and without further entanglement, he clasped his hands toward him.

The next moment, he only felt his silhouette shatter like a projection, leaving only his spirituality to depart this place and return to his true form.
