1287 Guidance (1/2)
Seeing that Klein was momentarily at a loss for words, the chief shepherd of the Church of the God of Combat, Larrion, revealed a solemn expression.
”Furthermore, the fall of a deity is only temporary. 'He' will eventually return and awaken using my body.”
”…” Klein frowned slightly when he heard that. He didn't know whether the angel was having mental problems and wasn't far from losing control because of his shaken anchors, or if ”He” was too affected by the God of Combat. In a certain sense, ”He” had become ”His” backup.
Ignoring the Sequence 0 true deities, even Kings of Angels and a number of angels would often not completely die!
”You should know very well that the apocalypse will come in another ten or so years. I believe that the speed of the God of Combat's resurrection won't be fast enough.” Klein attempted to awaken him with the cruel reality.
Larrion snorted.
”You will never be able to imagine the power of God.”
”He” didn't give Klein the chance to continue his persuasion and revealed a smile.
”In short, I won't make a deal with you. Pray, pray to Evernight. Pray to the deity you believe in to seal 0-02 and save you!
”But all I need to do is wait another thirty to forty seconds before I can leave this place.”
Klein looked up at the ”curtain” hanging from infinitely high above and didn't say anything else. He made his Spirit Body return to the library where the Trunsoest Brass Book was.
”Do you have any ideas?” he asked without any delay.
Arianna shook her head slightly and asked, ”What did Larrion say?”
”'He' told us to pray to the deities to seal 0-02…” As Klein spoke, he was suddenly stunned.
What Larrion said didn't seem to be problematic, but he had inadvertently revealed a very important piece of information.
He believed that deities could seal 0-02, no matter who ”They” were!
Then, what does a deity rely on to seal it? By forcefully suppressing it with ”Their” Sequence 0 status, or use a might that can destroy the world? Many questions appeared in Klein's mind.
At this moment, Trunsoest Brass Book flipped to a blank page, producing silver words one after another—the language it used was the one on the first Blasphemy Slate. It seemed to be the source of all the languages that were still in use.
In the blink of an eye, the silver words formed into new text:
”The Belltaine City Library is the place where the Trunsoest Brass Book is kept. It is a place that must be heavily protected. Living beings who intrude without the Trunsoest Brass Book's permission will be severely punished.”
It's an elevation of the punishment. I might be sentenced to death next… Klein's pupils dilated as he quickly deduced the most likely development.
However, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he smiled and said with sincerity, ”My wish is to shrink the size of the Belltaine City Library, so that the spot where Ma'am Arianna and I are is the boundary line.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and granted his own wish.
As the snapping sound reverberated, the lawn that corresponded to the Belltaine City Library disappeared. The building shrunk and the walls retreated. Soon, only a tenth of its original size was left.
Klein and Arianna subconsciously ”arrived” outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the open window, they stared at the Trunsoest Brass Book that remained on the rectangular table.
There was no change in the distance between them and the target. They were still very close, but they were no longer within the confines of being severely punished. However, due to their first violation of the curfew, they were once again whipped by an invisible law enforcer.
After accumulating the wishes of restoring buildings one after another, Klein could create quite a miracle in this aspect!
He didn't make another wish and continued thinking. He analyzed the hidden meaning behind the words of the chief shepherd of the Church of the God of Combat.
No, it shouldn't have been forcefully suppressed using a deity's status and level. Otherwise, my spiritual intuition would've told me the answer long ago. That would've made me activate Sefirah Castle's aura and complete the seal…
From a mysticism point of view, this is understandable. This is because 0-02 is clearly related to a particular sefirah. It's difficult to suppress it by relying on the status and level of a Sequence 0…
By relying on the might of the deities ”Themselves”? This might be possible, but there's a high chance that it's not the real method. This is because Larrion knows of a sealing method that can be completed without relying on the deities…
What's special about a Sequence 0 deity? And what methods can an angel use to achieve such a special sealing method?
The most special thing that I can think of at the moment is that a Sequence 0 deity contains a Uniqueness. This is something I can't summon from the Historical Void. It really has the characteristic of being ”unique.”
But how can an angel indirectly simulate a Uniqueness?
Countless thoughts collided in Klein's mind, producing large amounts of sparks, but he still couldn't figure out the key to the problem.
