1223 That Level (1/2)

Who am I? Just as Klein was about to remove the Historical Void projection, he was taken aback by Amon's question.

He controlled himself and didn't frown. Instead of answering, he asked, ”You aren't Amon's true body?”

Standing at the edge of the cliff, Amon took a step forward and smiled.

”Of course not.

”You seem to know my true body or my other avatars?”

Although the Amon in front of him didn't take any action, the step ”He” took still gave Klein an indescribable pressure. It wasn't easy for him to keep still without retreating, which would betray his cowardice.

He grunted and replied in a low voice, ”That's why I'm curious as to why you don't know me.”

”Are you very famous?” said the Amon who had crawled out of the darkness. ”He” then raised ”His” hand and adjusted ”His” crystal monocle on ”His” right eye.

This action lasted for a few seconds before it came to an end. As though in thought, Amon muttered, ”There are no other 'me's nearby… Are there really none, or has the connection been completely severed?”

What kind of accident caused this Amon to be independent? No way, I can't believe this fellow's acts. ”He” is a top-notch swindler… Klein's heart stirred at first before he suppressed his corresponding thoughts and asked, ”Why did you crawl out from underground?”

Amon's expression returned to normal as ”He” chuckled.

”Guess.”

Be it ”His” actual body or ”His” avatars, the fact that he has a terrible personality doesn't change… Klein thought to himself and tried to probe with an answer, ”You are exploring the secret that lays underground.”

Amon nodded slightly and said, ”Isn't that obvious?”

”He” then half-turned ”His” body and pointed at the darkness beyond the cliff that the light failed to light up.

”My father crawled out of here just like I did.

”Ah, right. It has a name. You should have heard of it—Chaos Sea.”

Chaos Sea? The Chaos Sea, one of the nine sefirots… It is indeed hidden deep underground… Is the corruption behind the bronze door really brought about by it? Previously, I was made aware of this mysticism knowledge through my casual chats with Amon… The ancient sun god was originally a member of this research facility. Then, he fell into the deep depths of the Chaos Sea, only to awaken in the Second Epoch and crawl out? As he was only an ordinary person back then, based on the law that proximity to the underground increases in danger with higher Sequences, he wasn't affected too much? Klein's mind raced as he recalled many matters and came up with various guesses.

Three seconds later, he said in response, ”So you took the risk and jumped in to search for the truth of the buried history and the world?”

”Something like that.” Amon man pinched the edge of his monocle and said in a self-deprecating tone, ”But I didn't do it willingly.”

”Ah?” Klein used a terse exclamation to express his doubts.

Amon smiled and said, ”Every single one of me knows that it's very dangerous deep underground. We don't want to go down alone. We have tried many detours, including creating a marionette to replace us. However, we failed to succeed and failed to obtain any feedback.

”In the end, under the true body's watch, we held a fair vote. Unfortunately, I was chosen.”

…It's a miracle that Amon hasn't completely gone mad yet… As expected of the God of Mischief… Internal decisions have to be done in such a way… Klein resisted the urge to lampoon.

”And then, you jumped down yourself?”

”What else? Let 'Them' throw me down?” Amon said as ”He” spread ”His” hands.

Having said that, ”He” seemed to finally understand something as ”He” muttered to ”Himself,” ”The Chaos Sea made 'me' sever ties with my main body and the surrounding avatars?

”Am I independent?”

Independent… Previously, in front of the bronze door of the Hall of Truth, I felt that every cell and every Worm of Spirit were giving birth to a new consciousness, generating a different form of self… It's very normal for there to be similar changes in Amon's avatar after directly entering the Chaos Sea… An independent Amon avatar should be able to effectively trick Amon's true body… No, I can't trust ”Him”… Klein validated Amon's words using his own experience, but he quickly reminded himself not to trust the God of Deceit.

He smiled and said, ”I suspect you're bluffing.”

Amon held up the crystal monocle and sized up Klein for a few seconds.

”It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. Even if I want to find a partner, it wouldn't be someone as weak as you.”

In the era of the eight Kings of Angels, were you very close to Red Angel Medici… Having made up his mind not to trust the independence of the Amon in front of him, Klein tried asking, ”What did you discover in the Chaos Sea?”

”Plenty of things. Guess what they are,” Amon said with a smile.

”You didn't discover anything,” Klein said deliberately.

Amon shook ”His” head.
