Klein was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected Aaron to say that, and asked with some uncertainty:
"What method?"
Playing with Arrodes, Aaron smiled and replied in a relaxed tone:
"You should have some guesses yourself. When you stay in Sefirah Castle, the Sefirah's status is enough to block the negative effects I mentioned before."
"But correspondingly, when you leave Sefirah Castle and before you truly become an Angel, another high-level Beyonder in the mind domain needs to help you hypnotize and establish psychological cue, so that you only remember those secrets that might cause your sudden death in reality when you enter Sefirah Castle."
As he spoke, Aaron raised his hand again, took out a piece of leather exuding divine radiance from the Nation of Disorder, and inscribed the mystical knowledge related to the Great Old One on it with spirituality as ink, then continued:
"The method and the reason you want to know are all here. Now it's time for you to choose!"
Klein stared at the leather, which was at least at the demigod level, and after a long while, he spoke in a low voice:
"The high-level Beyonder in the mind domain you mentioned, are you referring to Miss Justice?"
This was an agreement... Aaron nodded slightly, thoughtfully set up a simple seal on the leather before handing it to Klein, and explained teasingly:
"I obtained the Card of Blasphemy of the Spectator Pathway and a corresponding Angel characteristic. I asked your sister's current teacher to help refine a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact and give it to Audrey."
"Now she is only a step away from Sequence 3. As long as you actively cooperate, completing the psychological cue will not be difficult."
Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, Sequence 3... Klein's mouth twitched violently. He no longer acted coy and directly set up a ritual to sacrifice the demigod leather and the White Frost Crystal to Sefirah Castle.
Taking a deep breath, Klein held the last remaining Transformed Heart of the Demonic Wolf of Fog and looked at Aaron:
"Thank you very much for taking care of Melissa. I plan to go deep into the Spirit World now to find the remaining main ingredients for the potion. Sequence 4 is still too weak."
Aaron hummed softly and stopped Klein, who was about to open the Spirit World shuttle, asking meaningfully:
"I heard Audrey say that you have been looking for the secrets of the Loen Royal Family in Backlund recently?"
Klein raised an eyebrow and didn't hide it:
"With the help of Pallez's Spirit Channeling, I could only know that the Great Smog of Backlund was indeed jointly planned by the Demoness Sect and the Loen Royal Family, and this was only to cover up another deeper secret."
"It's just a pity that they were very cautious, and almost all clues were destroyed."
Facing Klein's expectant gaze, Aaron didn't beat around the bush and directly revealed George III's plan to ascend to Black Emperor, completing the clues Klein was missing due to the lack of the Black Emperor card and the premature elimination of Qonas Kilgor from MI9 by himself.
"The Black Emperor's ascension ritual is actually like this..."
Klein murmured to himself. Almost instantly, he thought of the mausoleum he had accidentally entered during the Great Smog.
Giving Klein some time to organize his thoughts, Aaron then briefly described the tense atmosphere in the Cosmos, and then continued:
"George III is probably only one step away from godhood now. If nothing unexpected happens, he should try to ascend very soon."
His right hand, which was holding "Creeping Hunger," clenched and then loosened. Klein smiled bitterly and self-mockingly said:
"What can I do in a battle of this level, even if I advance to Sequence 3 before then?"
Aaron smiled and didn't continue the topic, instead saying meaningfully:
"You should not be unfamiliar with the name Trissy Cheek. She has the aura of the Primordial Demoness. Arrodes cannot accurately locate her position, but it can be confirmed that she is in Backlund."
"You should 'meet' very soon. Well, she also harbors hatred for the Loen Royal Family. You can selectively reveal a part of George III's plan to her."
"Coincidence"? Klein nodded silently, hearing the hidden meaning in the words. He forcibly suppressed his chaotic thoughts, no longer lingered, and after a final glance at Arrodes, stepped into the opened Door to the Spirit World.
No longer obstructing Klein, Aaron gazed in the direction of Backlund, his expression indifferent.
During the Great Smog of Backlund, he gained more than just that Sequence 1 Conqueror characteristic. Even "White Demoness" Katarina, who was responsible for escorting this characteristic back to the Demoness Sect headquarters, was suppressed in Irusiel, the capital of East Tucker County.
As a high-ranking member of the cooperation between the Demoness Sect and the Loen Royal Family, Katarina, who knew the exact locations of the nine Blood Emperor mausoleums, had already revealed everything.
"The method of forcibly entering the mausoleum obtained from Mr. Door has been verified in the Chasm of Storms. Everything is ready, now we just wait for George III..."
His low murmur echoed, his figure had disappeared, and the distorted and replaced order around him quietly returned to normal.
For him, George III's ascension was an excellent hunting opportunity, and the fastest way to obtain Augustus's Hand of Order characteristic.
On the contrary, the high-level characteristics of the Black Emperor Pathway seemed less important. After all, as long as Roselle is reborn in the Cosmos, these characteristics, no matter what form they exist in, will return to the Black Emperor's hands.
-----------------
Passing through various strange Spirit World creatures, fortunately with the blessing of Azik's aura, Klein smoothly arrived deep within the Spirit World.
Looking at the seven different colored pure lights covering the upper part of the Spirit World, Klein removed the wall of spirituality covering the surface of the Transformed Heart of the Demonic Wolf of Fog.
Just as he was thinking about how to use this material to lure out the Hound of Fulgrim, his spiritual intuition outlined two bizarre hounds in his mind, covered in short black fur with dark red flames burning in their eye sockets.
Hound of Fulgrim!
Although he had never seen such a creature, the name instantly popped into Klein's mind. He immediately turned to look at the place where his spiritual intuition had feedbacked, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
At some point, a hazy historical mist drifted in the abstract depths of the Spirit World. From the darker patches, Hounds of Fulfillment rushed out, led by the two that Klein had seen in his spiritual intuition.
Why are only these two one-eyed?
This question inexplicably arose in his mind. Klein watched the group of Hounds of Fulfillment with some vigilance. He saw two complete Hounds of Fulfillment detach from their pack and, as they ran towards him, each dug out a mass of dark red flame from their eye sockets.
"A pair of eyeballs put together..."
Klein's mouth slightly opened. He couldn't help but recall the surprise Aaron had mentioned earlier and understood why the first two Hounds of Fulfillment had become one-eyed.
Driving some strange thoughts out of his mind, Klein watched the group of Hounds of Fulfillment disappear into the light spots of the historical mist, then quickly returned to Sefirah Castle with the two main ingredients given as a gift.
