Chapter 1261 – 1261 No One Is an Exception
As Klein approaches the throne, he asks Dark Angel Sasrir about the Primordial One, wondering if it’s the entity that created the world. Sasrir’s ethereal voice responds, revealing that the Primordial One refers to the original Creator, who created the entire universe. This revelation leaves Klein and the other demigods perplexed, as it diverges from their understanding of the City of Silver’s history.
Klein’s curiosity gets the better of him, and he inquires about the connection between gaining control of Chaos Sea and the Primordial One’s awakening. Sasrir explains that the higher the Sequence, the closer one is to the Primordial One, and that every pathway’s King of Angels and Sequence 0 might have the original Creator awaken in them. Klein’s mind races with possibilities, considering the implications of corruption and the source of Beyonder characteristics.

As Klein struggles to come to terms with this newfound knowledge, Sasrir reveals the reasoning behind Rose Redemption and the Evernight Goddess’s involvement, all to prevent the Primordial One’s awakening. Klein’s thoughts are filled with questions and doubts, but he forces a smile, diverting the topic to the mystery of the ancient sun god’s demise. The darkness in the Giant King’s residence deepens, and the demigods’ actions remain shrouded in uncertainty.
Chapter 1262 – The Truth Behind the Enemy
As the Dark Angel awakens, Klein’s heart tightens, and he’s on full alert, but he doesn’t feel fear or anxiety, knowing the real Dark Angel has returned to the ancient sun god’s body. However, when Lovia, a Sequence 4 demigod, loses control and turns into a flowing shadow upon seeing the Dark Angel, Klein’s eyes widen in fear and despair. The scene is a testament to the Dark Angel’s terrifying power, enough to make a high-Sequence demigod lose control without using any Beyonder powers or revealing its Mythical Creature form.
Klein recalls his past interactions with Kings of Angels, but realizes he has never truly fought one. He’s either relied on Sefirah Castle’s power to escape or cut off contact. The only exception was his battle of wits with Angel of Time Amon, but even that didn’t reveal the true strength of a King of Angels. Facing the malice-filled deputy of Heaven, Klein feels the urge to give up and return to the world above the gray fog, but he raises the Staff of the Stars, determined to continue.
Lovia’s shadowy curtain parts to reveal a lump of squirming flesh with pale gray eyes, and a phantom Silver Knight appears in front of her. Klein and Colin Iliad quickly understand that Dark Angel Sasrir doesn’t possess the strength it appears to have, and that Lovia’s body has degenerated due to the authority of “Degeneration” and the Dark Angel’s influence over relatively lower Sequences. With this knowledge, Klein has a preliminary understanding of the enemy he’s facing, and the battle is far from over.
Chapter 1263 – 1263 The Final Watch
Klein, determined to face the Dark Angel Sasrir, emerges from the shadows, his figure a precise and cold machine. With the Staff of the Stars, he drags Sasrir into a dream, a Beyonder power replicated from the Evernight pathway’s Sequence 7. In the hazy dream world, Sasrir’s eyes turn golden, and a layer of shadows appears, revealing a pair of eyes hidden behind the “curtain.” The dream disintegrates, and Sasrir’s consciousness returns to the real world, where Colin, Derrick, and Lovia launch a counterattack.
As the battle rages on, Sasrir’s body begins to emit infinite pure light, rendering the demigods’ attacks ineffective. Lovia and Derrick are shocked, bowing their heads in worship, while the Silver Knight evil spirit melts under the blazing sunlight. Sasrir’s eyes close once again, and Klein seizes the opportunity to pull him into another dream. This time, Klein transforms his body into the door of light, a strange, bluish-black construct composed of twisted maggots.
In the dreamscape, Sasrir reveals his Chaos Sea traits, and the two engage in a silent, ominous confrontation. Meanwhile, Lovia, still struggling with the authority of “Degeneration,” uses her corrupted body to pounce at Sasrir, her eyes filled with a mix of madness and determination. Amidst the howling winds, her collapsing body lands on Sasrir’s, setting the stage for an intense and unpredictable battle to come.
Chapter 1264 – Succeeding
Klein, anticipating a synchronized attack, locks eyes with Colin Iliad and uses the Concealment power from the Staff of the Stars to erase his own presence. Meanwhile, Colin fuses into the light, striking Dark Angel Sasrir from multiple angles with his swords of dawn. Derrick Berg condenses “Unshadowed Spears” to keep the evil spirit at bay, buying time for Klein to approach the iron-black throne undetected.
Klein, in his concealed state, glimpses veiled scenes and focuses on the grayish-white ancient stone slab. He outlines the Lightning Storm power in his mind, unleashing silver bolts of lightning that strike the first Blasphemy Slate. The area is illuminated, and an illusory light connects the slate to Sasrir, only to be broken apart by the lightning. The Unshadowed Domain is activated, and the demigods are pushed back.
Dark Angel Sasrir retaliates, his brass-like eyes conjuring an illusory river that reverses the damage inflicted. “He” condenses a deep-black scepter and declares Himself omniscient and omnipotent. The demigods swiftly retaliate, trying to launch new attacks. However, Sasrir’s malevolent power sends Klein’s body and soul plummeting, threatening to destroy him.
Chapter 1265 – 1265 Warrior
Derrick Berg, upon the Chief’s command, unleashes a holy blast of light that engulfs Dark Angel Sasrir and Colin Iliad, purifying the connection between the Blasphemy Slate and the True Creator’s power of corruption. Meanwhile, Klein’s concealed state allows him to avoid the blast, but the purification process causes the corrupting nature within him to intensify, manifesting as a gigantic shadow hand that grabs the first Blasphemy Slate.
As the shadow palace begins to collapse, an invisible force pierces through the barrier, causing the corrupting nature to increase in intensity. Amon, dressed in a classic black robe, waits patiently outside the projection of the Giant King’s residence, ready to take advantage of the “bug” to enter directly. In the ruins of the battlefield, Crestet Cesimir, a high-ranking deacon, struggles to remain standing, his body covered in charred holes and cracks.
In the astral world, a gigantic mountain-like figure emerges, wielding an exaggerated sword, and a dark, feminine figure appears, dressed in a black, star-adorned dress, holding a massive sickle and a crimson “moon”. The stage is set for an epic confrontation as the forces of light and darkness clash in the unfolding battle.
Chapter 1266 – 1266 Ligh
As Colin Iliad’s life force dwindles, he shares a crucial secret with Derrick Berg, revealing that the City of Silver’s survival relies on the “Gift of the Land,” a second god-level Sealed Artifact that allows Black-Faced Grass to grow, preventing the city’s descent into darkness. Colin Iliad’s words are laced with a mix of sadness and bitterness, as he explains that this curse comes at a terrible cost, where those killed by their immediate family won’t become evil spirits.
Meanwhile, Klein attempts to use Will Auceptin’s “Reboot” to save Colin, but fails, and realizes that Amon’s true body has descended. As the situation unfolds, Klein becomes intrigued by Colin Iliad’s mention of the Rose Redemption, only to be stunned by the revelation that Earth Mother is not Giant Queen Omebella, who has long been deceased and become a Sealed Artifact.
In the astral world, the battle between the forces of light and darkness reaches a standstill, with the sunset giant, the dark feminine figure, and the humanoid demonic wolf frozen in time, as a dark brown wooden cane pierces the sunset giant’s heart, pulling it back to the land. The stage is set for a thrilling continuation, as secrets are unearthed and the fate of the City of Silver hangs in the balance.
Chapter 1267 – Welcome
As Derrick Berg leads the City of Silver’s expedition team beyond the grayish-blue door, they’re met with a breathtaking golden sea, a sight that still manages to shock them despite being familiar with such scenes. With the Thunder God’s Roar hammer in hand, Derrick stands tall, silently taking in the scenery, while Liaval and Candice exchange curious glances.
As they wait, the team is enveloped by darkness, revealing a mysterious black pointed cathedral and fleeting pedestrians in the fog. The darkness is unlike anything they’ve experienced before, and Derrick’s instinctive glow and the team’s hurried lighting of candles provide a sense of security. The team’s curiosity is piqued as they explore the unfamiliar town, but Derrick’s calm leadership guides them forward.
Finally, blinding sunlight illuminates their surroundings, and they find themselves on an island surrounded by golden strange plants with smiling faces. The team’s amazement and gratitude are palpable as they realize Derrick’s true intentions: to lead them out of the cursed land. With their trust in Derrick solidified, the team looks to him for guidance, wondering how they’ll escape the island and continue their journey into the unknown.
Chapter 1268 – Miracle Invoker
Klein’s world is shattered as the Miracle Invoker potion takes effect, fragmenting his mind and body into countless Worms of Spirit that scatter across the fog of history. Each Worm struggles to reconcile its own identity, torn between its former self and the darkness that now binds them. As they begin to resist their own kind, a ripple in the fog, born from the City of Silver’s forgotten history, draws them in, pulling them back together.
One by one, the Worms of Spirit return to their original form, converging into a single, translucent, and twisted mass. As they reform, Klein’s consciousness slowly recovers, piecing together his fractured identity. The reconstructed Klein now stands tall, his body adapted to accommodate the Beyonder’s will, which floods his mind with ancient, mystical knowledge and visceral imagery.
As Klein regains consciousness, he’s met with a vision of crimson stars and resplendent light points, echoing the prayers of the Tarot Club and Moon City residents. This ethereal image, born from the collective hopes of those who seek salvation, gazes upon the world with pity, hinting at the existence of a powerful, high-level being that looms in the shadows.
Chapter 1269 – 1269 The Power of Wishes
Klein unravels the mysteries of the “Wishes” ability, realizing it’s not a simple matter of making miracles happen. As a Miracle Invoker, he needs to accumulate and satisfy the wishes of others, allowing him to create a true miracle. He can use Creeping Hunger and the Staff of the Stars to fulfill these wishes, making him a collective force for change. Klein envisions himself walking the world, granting wishes and performing miracles, slowly building a legend and gaining the faith of others.
However, Klein is aware that there’s more to being a Miracle Invoker than just granting wishes. He needs to take the initiative to create miracles in real life, leaving behind legends and cementing his role as a deity. As he contemplates his next move, Klein can’t shake off the feeling that someone has been setting him up, manipulating events from behind the scenes. His prime suspect is the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, an ancient sun god who might have perished despite making arrangements for Klein’s rise.
With caution and puzzlement, Klein approaches the mysterious door of light in Sefirah Castle, the core of this enigmatic space. As he touches the door, it begins to tremble, along with the hanging “cocoons” containing human figures. Klein’s next move will determine the course of his journey as a Miracle Invoker, and the fate of those around him.
Chapter 1270 – Visiting“
As the City of Silver’s scouts, including Liaval and Candice, arrive on the ship Sea God, they’re greeted by Danitz, who introduces himself as an oracle. The “half-giants” are initially wary, feeling out of place among the normal-sized humans, but their unease dissipates as Danitz presents them with a sumptuous feast, featuring Desi-style roasted meat. The scent and taste of the dish prove irresistible, and the City of Silver residents devour their food with gusto, tears streaming down their faces.
Meanwhile, Danitz tends to the needs of his guests, ensuring their comfort and satisfaction. He’s aware of the risks of their journey and cautions them about the dangers that lurk in the waters. As the City of Silver’s vanguard unit indulges in their meal, Klein, back on the uninhabited island, has grown accustomed to his current state and is planning his next move. He intends to “Teleport” back to Backlund, summon Arrodes, and seek answers about the mysterious door of light in Sefirah Castle.
With the path to leaving the Forsaken Land of the Gods now open, Klein is biding his time, waiting for Danitz to settle the City of Silver’s affairs before turning his attention to extracting the residents of Moon City. But as he ponders his next step, Klein remains cautious, aware that someone might be manipulating events from behind the scenes, and the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings remains his prime suspect.
Chapter 1271 – Seven Lights
Klein’s mind tenses as Indigo Light Iesus’s words trigger a connection to the celestial bodies, making his Worms of Spirit uneasy. To sever the connection, he utilizes the aura of Sefirah Castle, dispelling the projections in his mind. As he regains composure, Klein inquires about the numerous Outer Deities, learning that they are attracted to the solar system to reclaim their lost sefirot and characteristics.
Indigo Light Iesus explains that the Outer Deities, such as the Mother Goddess of Depravity and the Mother Tree of Desire, were directly nurtured by the Oldest One and lost portions of their sefirot. Meanwhile, Klein discovers that the 22 pathways and nine sefirot have connections to these Outer Deities, with some pathways belonging to specific deities. The conversation delves into the nature of these deities, with Klein learning about the Mother Goddess of Depravity and the Mother Tree of Desire, who have influenced the lunar and earthly pathways.
As Klein ponders the implications, he wonders why the Outer Deities haven’t invaded the world yet. The Orange Light Hilarion hints that the Oldest One is the key to understanding their inaction, leaving Klein to contemplate the enigmatic forces at play.
Chapter 1272 – Spring
Klein’s thoughts are consumed by the enigmatic titles of the Lord of Mysteries, which he believes refer to the same entity mentioned by the ancient sun god. He questions the Seven Lights, who reveal that they weren’t aware of the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings’ existence before the previous civilization ended. They were born from the spirit world during the First Epoch, and suspect that some Great Old Ones were Outer Deities attracted to the planet, later becoming sefirot.
Yellow Light Venithan explains that the Oldest One’s inclination towards separation led to the creation of different parts, including the Celestial Worthy, God Almighty, and others. These entities secretly interfered with the real world, preparing for the separation that would occur when the Oldest One’s body awakened. Klein realizes that the great ruler above the spirit world is a part of the Oldest One, and that he might be unknowingly influenced by this entity.
As Klein delves deeper into the mysteries, he becomes aware that the Primordial One that awoke in the ancient sun god’s body might be the same entity that could take over his own body. The Lord of Mysteries, the Dominator of the Spirit World, and the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings may already be awakening within him. Fearing this possibility, Klein returns to the mortal world, observing the people of Backlund revitalized and full of life, but his own thoughts remain shrouded in uncertainty.
Chapter 1273 – The Poor Arrodes
Klein remains cautious about revealing his true identity to his siblings, Benson and Melissa, knowing that doing so would put them in danger. Instead, he keeps a watchful eye on them through Miss Justice, learning that Benson has risen through the ranks at the Ministry of Finance and Melissa is on the path to becoming a Sequence 9 Savant. Klein tacitly approves of her decision, recognizing that her Beyonder abilities will help her navigate the impending apocalypse.
As the invisible barrier between the spirit world and the mortal realm weakens, Klein becomes increasingly aware of the influence of the Oldest One and its various parts, including the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. He decides to lay low, using his knowledge to subtly guide Melissa’s development while keeping his own existence hidden. With the stakes growing higher, Klein’s every move is calculated to protect those he cares about.
Meanwhile, in a steam locomotive speeding across the continent, Ikanser and a Machinery Hivemind member are transporting a mysterious metal cage adorned with menacing spikes. As they near their destination, the cage begins to react violently, absorbing bolts of lightning and displaying an intense connection to the Magic Mirror. The Machinery Hivemind member is puzzled by this phenomenon, and Ikanser’s own gaze drifts wistfully to the Capital of Capitals, hinting at memories and motivations that will soon come to light.
Chapter 1274 – The Stabilization of the Situation
Klein Moretti continues to keep a low profile, using his knowledge to guide his sister Melissa’s development as a Sequence 9 Savant while keeping his own existence hidden from the prying eyes of the Oldest One. Meanwhile, the Machinery Hivemind’s mysterious metal cage, adorned with menacing spikes, reacts violently, absorbing bolts of lightning and displaying an intense connection to the Magic Mirror.
As Klein delves deeper into the secrets of the Magic Mirror, he uncovers documents from the Church of the Evernight Goddess, revealing a sinister plot to eliminate Beyonders from the Church of the God of Combat and the Feysac military. The documents hint at a larger plan to increase the Church’s strength and maintain world stability in the face of the impending apocalypse. Klein’s sharp mind pieces together the clues, uncovering a web of intrigue and deception.
The Goddess’s intentions become clearer, as Klein realizes that she seeks to stabilize the situation and avoid further orthodox deities from perishing, which would allow the Outer Deities to bring forth the apocalypse. However, Klein’s search for the potion formula for Attendant of Mysteries leads him to a dead end, with options that pose significant risks, including dealings with the cunning Zaratul and the enigmatic Half-Fool of the Antigonus family.
Chapter 1275 – A New Journey
Klein, in a Historical Void projection, meets Bornova Gustav, taking the Magic Mirror with ease after a brief exchange. He then returns to his physical body, where he uses the mirror to write a letter to Mr. Azik, detailing his experiences in the Forsaken Land of the Gods and his suspicions about the River of Eternal Darkness. The letter hints at the larger implications of the apocalypse and Klein’s own growth as a Sequence 2 Miracle Invoker.
In the letter, Klein shares his observations of the Forsaken Land, where sentient beings are cursed or physically mutated, and Artificial Death can influence the undying creatures. He connects these findings to the River of Eternal Darkness and the Phoenix Ancestor, sparking a deeper intrigue. Klein also mentions the war between the Evernight Goddess and the God of Combat, the impending peace, and his own uncertain future as a Sequence 2.
With the letter dispatched via a bone messenger, Klein contemplates his next move, considering a “Teleport” to the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range to explore the ancient palace and potentially claim the Card of Blasphemy from the Antigonus family’s Half-Fool. The Magic Mirror, now in his possession, silently awaits his next command, its silver words lingering like a whispered promise.
