Meanwhile, a paper crane suddenly bursts into scarlet red flames, and Amon steals six of Klein’s Beyonder powers, including four important ones, leaving him vulnerable.
As the situation unfolds, Will Auceptin appears in Dr. Aaron’s house, wrapped in silver silk, and pulls out a cane embedded with clear gems.

Chapter 1007 – Dealing With The Aftermath
Klein turns his attention to Winner Enuni, discovering he can control the marionette’s Spirit Body Threads again due to the Snake of Fate’s Reboot. He realizes that Amon’s Parasitized objects, including the marionette, have been restored to their original state. Relieved, Klein “Teleports” back to his master bedroom, leaving the marionettes to defend against any accidents.
Above the gray fog, Klein observes the street with the Sea God Scepter, focusing on his residence and Unit 39. He finds his servants, including Butler Walter and Housekeeper Taneja, showing signs of being Parasitized, with Hazel on the brink of total collapse. Klein imagines a terrifying scenario where Amon’s minions, including “Daddy Amon” and “Maid Amon,” surround Hazel, leaving her on the verge of losing control.
Klein “Teleports” to the Loen Charity Bursary Foundation, where he meets Audrey, who is daydreaming about the punishment operation. He requests her help, and they instantly “Teleport” to outside the activity room at 39 Boklund Street. Audrey’s eyes widen as she takes in the heavy atmosphere and screams, and she asks if there’s a patient, her face solemn with concern.
Chapter 1008 – Splitting
As Klein and Audrey exit 39 Böklund Street, they begin their mission to help the Parasite victims, with Klein sharing his insight about unaffiliated Beyonders constantly walking a thin line between control and collapse. Audrey reflects on her own naivety, acknowledging that knowing the cruel reality of the mysterious world would have deterred her from seeking to become a Beyonder. Klein offers her a chance to leave the world behind, but she declines, convinced that her growth and newfound understanding make her more resilient.
Audrey agrees to help Klein, and he reveals that the purified victims will produce Worms of Time, which can be used to create Fate Siphon charms. As they walk, Audrey remarks on the Tarot Day, mentioning her involvement in the punishment operation and the aftermath of Amon’s avatars. Klein nods in agreement, but omits The Star’s involvement, and instead warns Audrey about Amon’s traits, advising her to seek help if she encounters him again.
As they enter 160 Böklund Street, they find Macht and company, who, after a praying ritual, cough out Worms of Time, which vanish instantly. Similar events unfold elsewhere on Böklund Street, and eventually, the darkness dissipates, with Hazel regaining consciousness, confused about falling asleep on the sofa during high tea.
Chapter 1009 – Payment Is Always Exacted for What’s Bestowed
Leonard feels relieved upon hearing Old Man Pallez’s voice, reflecting on the angel-level battle earlier that day. He inquires about the giant serpent phantom, learning it’s Snake of Fate, a Sequence 1 angel and councilor of the Life School of Thought, affiliated with Mr. Fool. This revelation astonishes Leonard, realizing Mr. Fool’s faction is comparable to the seven orthodox Churches. He feels a sense of urgency to advance to Spirit Warlock, but with numerous missions, he’s still far from completing them.
In a separate scene, Emlyn White, now a viscount, stands in Harvest Church, giving instructions to Ernes Boyar, who’s shocked by Emlyn’s sudden advancement. Emlyn reveals he obtained a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic from Artificial Vampires, taking only half a year to become a viscount.

As Klein continues his ritual, he suddenly feels an unusual sense of cleanliness OCD, a side effect of using Death Knell. He quickly realizes the cause and adjusts to the new weakness. Meanwhile, Emlyn White gathers the members of the punishment operation to showcase the spoils of war, including the Oath of Rose paired ring, and flaunts his knowledge of Sanguine history and connections.

As Klein meets with Queen Mystic Bernadette on the dark and cloudy Backlund Bridge, he’s enveloped by a sudden storm of green pea vines that form a forest, leading him to a naturally-formed swing where the Queen awaits. Bernadette’s gentle but emotionless voice reveals her suspicion that Emperor Roselle hasn’t perished completely, and Klein is taken aback by her words. She explains that the Emperor had built nine secret mausoleums, eight of which were found and destroyed, leaving the ninth unknown, which could be the key to his resurrection.
Klein’s emotional turmoil is palpable as Bernadette speaks, and he inwardly lampoons the situation, while maintaining a calm exterior. He recalls King Nast’s words and Roselle’s diary, suspecting that the final mausoleum might be hidden in the Abyss or on a primitive island.

Meanwhile, Klein has been working on creating pure darkness, using a charm of the Evernight domain that has dreamworld properties. After repeated failed attempts and losses to his Spirit Body, Klein has finally mastered the method, creating a finished product he calls the Yesterday Once More charm. As he prepares to use it, he reflects on the potential dangers of borrowing strength from his historical self, but has performed a divination to ensure his safety.
