Chapter 640: The Awakening Progress of the Lord of Mysteries
"Has something major happened in the Forsaken Land?"
Klein, seated inside the Sefirah Castle, immediately sensed the gray fog outside the castle beginning to surge wildly. The fog appeared to be in a defensive posture, seemingly resisting some terrifying enemy.
Klein felt a tremor in his heart as the Sefirah Castle projected a scene from the Forsaken Land. In the depths of the Forsaken Land, in front of a massive wall of flowing gray fog, four indistinct figures and a black cross were combating the fog's power, attempting to pass through into the unknown domain beyond.
Upon witnessing this scene, Klein felt an unprecedented call emanating from the depths of the Forsaken Land. The call was like a mother repeatedly summoning her child to return. This call, originating from deep within his soul, urged Klein to go to the Forsaken Land, to the massive gray fog wall.
"I can't go!"
Klein gripped the armrests of his chair tightly, his body trembling as he struggled to resist the relentless call.
He had a premonition that if he appeared in the Forsaken Land now, the Lord of Mysteries would awaken prematurely within him. He absolutely could not take this risk, or he would be completely replaced by the Lord of Mysteries without a chance to struggle.
Besides the massive gray fog wall, Klein also saw a giant demon wolf hiding, draped in a black shroud that was glowing and trying to escape the wolf's restraint. Under the shroud's light, the demon wolf could no longer remain hidden and was forced to reveal itself.
Seeing this, the demon wolf decisively tore off the black shroud and let it fly away, quickly disappearing into the gaps of history.
"What is that?" Klein wondered, suspecting it might be an item of high rank from the Seer pathway. Suddenly, his pupils constricted in shock as he realized the black shroud was flying towards the Sefirah Castle!
"It wants to merge with me!"
No, it must be stopped! Klein shouted inwardly, but he was still struggling against the call from the gray fog wall, unable to control the Sefirah Castle to take defensive measures. He could only watch helplessly as the black shroud flew towards the Sefirah Castle.
Fortunately, a figure suddenly emerged from the historical gaps, grabbed the black shroud, and suppressed it before disappearing into the historical void. Klein breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the shroud was intercepted halfway. If it had reached him, the Lord of Mysteries would have surely awakened within him, as it was a contingency left by the Lord of Mysteries for resurrection.
"Who was that?" Klein speculated, considering the high sequence of the Seer pathway. "Could it be Zarath?"
It must be him! Mr. Hastur had mentioned that Zarath had been wandering the Forsaken Land, trying to find a Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristic.
If this black shroud wasn't a Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristic, it must be the uniqueness of the Seer pathway!
"That was close," Klein sighed. At this moment, his body, unable to withstand the call, split open, with half of it turning into transparent, crawling worms.
"Now I feel much lighter," Klein remarked, controlling the remaining half of his body. Instead of immediately recombining, he supported himself on the bronze table, calmly observing the events in the Forsaken Land.
In the Forsaken Land, the Outer Gods and Old Ones, including the Supernova Dominator, gazed towards the Sefirah Castle.
"The aura of the Lord of Mysteries; it seems he can't wait to awaken."
"It seems he has failed."
"We should be grateful that the new master of the Sefirah Castle has a resilient spirit."
"Let's begin."
After a brief discussion, the Supernova Dominator conjured a brilliant sun, and the Radiant Hunter transformed into a silver arrow.
"It's up to you now."
The Supernova Dominator split the golden sun, channeling the golden fluid into the silver arrow, which gradually transformed into a pure glass color. The pressure it emitted caused the entire Forsaken Land to tremble, with black spatial cracks appearing in the surrounding space.
When the glass-colored arrow completed its transformation, it shot through space and time, piercing the massive gray fog wall, creating a fist-sized golden hole. The gray fog began to surge, attempting to seal the golden hole completely.
At this moment, the Mother Tree of Desire, Primordial Hunger, and the True Creator intervened, preventing the fog from closing the hole, maintaining the golden passage.
Boom! Boom!
The sky over the Forsaken Land changed dramatically as the gray fog wall merged with the heavens. Gray fog clouds gathered from all directions, filling the Forsaken Land with their power. Except for the Giant King's Court in the Chaos Sea, all other areas were devastated by the fog's power.
Whispers seemed to emanate from within the fog and the wall. The Mother Tree of Desire, the Supernova Dominator, and other Outer Gods sensed a familiar aura awakening.
It was the Lord of Mysteries! The closer the Radiant Hunter's power approached the core of the seal, the more it stimulated the Lord of Mysteries's consciousness to awaken.
"We can't go any deeper!" the Supernova Dominator exclaimed, "Don't break the seal, just extract even a single source quality!"
The Mother Tree of Desire's eyes flickered. Among the Outer Gods present, only the Supernova Dominator, Primordial Hunger, and the Radiant Hunter hadn't lost their source quality, while the Mother Tree's shadow world had been partially torn away. Naturally, the Mother Tree hoped the Radiant Hunter could extract its shadow world, but it wasn't something it could decide.
No one knew the situation inside or which source quality was closest to escaping the Lord of Mysteries's seal.
As time passed, the gray fog in the Forsaken Land grew denser, and the silent whispers became more pronounced, as if the Lord of Mysteries's consciousness was about to awaken at any moment.
On the Sefirah Castle, Klein's other half also split open, unable to withstand the call, with transparent worms crawling restlessly. They didn't gather but spread out, some on the bronze table, some on the chair, and some on the steps.
"Is the Lord of Mysteries about to return?" Klein watched the increasingly dense gray fog and the intensifying call from the Forsaken Land. He could even see the progress bar of the Lord of Mysteries's awakening reaching 80% and gradually rising to 100%.
Luckily, his fortune seemed to be on his side today. When the progress bar reached around 90%, it stopped completely, and the gray fog in the Forsaken Land began to dissipate, with the clear call turning into an indistinct whisper.
"Indeed, even the Outer Gods and Old Ones from the stars don't dare to let the Lord of Mysteries awaken at this time."
"Perhaps this is their only act of mercy towards me."
Klein smiled bitterly, gathering the transparent worms to restore his human form, and looked again at the Forsaken Land.
The Radiant Hunter, which had transformed into a glass-colored arrow and penetrated the gray fog wall, had retreated back to the Forsaken Land. Before it could speak, its avatar shattered like porcelain, dispersing into countless light spots.
"Did it fail?" The Mother Tree of Desire and the Supernova Dominator looked on with discontent at the golden hole that was slowly closing.
The Radiant Hunter's power had been pushed to its limit, but it still couldn't open the passage to the Western Continent.
"Does the Lord of Mysteries have to awaken for the seal here to be completely broken?" Primordial Hunger pondered.
"Damn Lord of Mysteries," the Mother Tree of Desire grumbled, feeling the closest it had ever been to reclaiming its lost shadow world.
Just as the golden hole was about to be completely sealed by the gray fog, time and space around it seemed to freeze. A stream of milky white light, moving at an imperceptible speed, burst out just as the gray fog was about to close the hole.
"That's a source quality!" The Mother Tree of Desire's eyes lit up with hope. "Stop it quickly!"
The Supernova Dominator, Primordial Hunger, and the True Creator also moved to intercept the milky white light.
