Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Facing Amon's provocation, Klein chuckled:
"You don't have to give it."

Amon's clone did gain independence because of his humanity, which caused an irreconcilable contradiction between "He" and the original body - the original body would not allow an independent clone to exist, and the clone that gained humanity and independence would not willingly be killed by the original body.

This principle applies to everyone, and Amon is no exception.

In other words, Amon will not be an exception.

As a natural mythological creature, to put it nicely, He is a sophisticated egoist, to put it bluntly, He is selfish, He only considers His own interests. When His own interests may be damaged, even the interests of His father and brothers must stand aside - whether it is the ancient sun god, Adam, or the real creator.

So when the ancient sun god died, the true creator was born.

There are four angel kings who truly betrayed the ancient sun god.

The wind angel, the cherubim, and the white angel need not be mentioned; they were the biggest contributors to the fall of the ancient sun god.

The remaining one is Amon.

He is not like the Angel of Imagination Adam and the Angel of Darkness Sasriel, who parted ways due to different philosophies, but always shouldered the burden of resurrecting the original body. He is also not like the Red Angel Medici and the Angel of Fate Ouroboros, who are loyal to the resurrected true Creator.

He remained neutral throughout, serving His own interests.

Therefore, Amon's original body will definitely kill his independent clone, and the independent clone will definitely find a way to kill the original body.

It was this selfish trait that provided the basis for cooperation between Amon’s clone and Klein, and also led to the current situation. Amon’s clone only had the strength of Sequence 3, but once “He” was merged with the original body, “He” could gradually “contaminate” the original body’s clone and Beyonder characteristics, gaining stronger strength until he gained control of the body and became the “original body”.

Of course, Klein would not give absolute trust to such a sophisticated and selfish mythical creature.

Although he and Amon's clone have common interests, they both hope to kill Amon's original body, but this does not mean that their alliance will be so strong. On the contrary, this alliance may break at any time.

After all, no matter what, Amon and Klein's paths conflict with each other, and only one of them can ascend to the throne of the old days.

When Amon's original body still existed, his clone would cooperate with Klein, replacing his original body with his clone and gaining control of the body. At this stage, the alliance between them was unbreakable.

Because they are all destined to be unable to coexist with Amon's body, only one side can survive.

But when Amon's original body was transformed into a 'clone' by the clone, and the clone took control of the body and became the 'original body', the prerequisite for the alliance between the clone and Klein no longer existed.

Regardless, the personality of Amon's clone is exactly the same as the original.

Although they have to fight each other for survival, it is precisely because they are all selfish and sophisticated egoists. No matter who gains dominance over the body, their personalities will not change.

Therefore, no matter whether it was the real body or the clone standing here, his position was in conflict with Klein's.

Of course, Klein would not ignore this. He had anticipated Amon's betrayal and had a corresponding backup plan.

Klein's eyes flickered slightly, and he was about to strike first when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a shiny object being thrown out from the corner of his eye.

He reached out to take it, looking at the monocle in his hand, a little surprised:

"Don't you want to give it a try?"

Amon said faintly:
"Try it, and then you kill me?"

"What's the saying you humans have? He who knows the times is a hero."

"It looks like you and I are both Sequence 0. I have enough options. I can try to kill you, or I can leave at any time."

"But the truth is, my 'humanity' has always been under your control."

"The original clone is not affected, but I, as the original body, am not."

Klein's eyes twitched. Good fellow, you're calling yourself your real self so soon? You're worthy of it!
But there is actually no difference. After all, each of Amon's clones is exactly the same individual, with only slight differences in strength.

When the clone with humanity gains control of the body, it is equivalent to possessing all the extraordinary characteristics. In this process, each of His extraordinary characteristics, each of His clones, and each of His Time Worms will inevitably be contaminated with humanity.

And what Amon said was correct. Klein could indeed control and even detonate His humanity to a certain extent!
For Amon, who once had no humanity, losing humanity has no effect. But for Amon, who has already been tainted with humanity, the threat of humanity exploding will be fatal. Although the result is the loss of humanity, these are two completely different concepts.

Obviously, Amon has also realized this.

And He could do nothing about it, because He could not voluntarily divest Himself of His humanity.

There is no guarantee that He can survive after His humanity is stripped away.

Even if He could strip away His human nature, He would not try - only with human nature can He, as an incarnation, gain independence. If He strips away His human nature, then what is the difference between Him and before?

Klein saw what Amon was thinking and did not continue to embarrass Him.

He is not Amon, just an angel king who steals the path, He can tolerate it.

As for whether Amon would become the next Lord of Storms or the Eternal Sun, and whether he would become the second Ancient Sun God, Klein was not worried. Not to mention whether he would lose control, even if he did, Amon would not have the chance to become the Lord of Storms.

Moreover, Klein still had more things to do. He had just become the Fool, so theoretically, what he needed to do most was to consolidate his condition. However, his current condition was not bad, and Ember, the Goddess of Night and others were still fighting with other beings. It was not reasonable for him to just leave like that.

He couldn't intervene in the battle between Embers and First Flame, and he didn't even know where they were.

But he is still qualified to participate in the battles involving the Goddess of Night and others.

What's more, he is not a magnanimous person. Since the Original Witch dares to attack, he must be prepared to fall!
-
In the astral realm, when The Fool was born, almost all beings became sluggish and did not react immediately.

The 'Goddess of Night' stopped in mid-air in confusion, as if she hadn't figured out what to do next. However, her instinct was to protect herself first. The original witch's snake-like black tentacles with eyeballs were frozen in the sky, forming a still but crazy picture.

The 'Earth Mother Goddess' and the 'God of Steam and Machinery' also stopped their actions in confusion. The forest transformed by the 'Earth Mother Goddess' stagnated and no longer grew wildly as before. But the 'God of Steam and Machinery' no longer used the hazy light to decompose the green forest. The starry sky dyed by the information flow floated unsteadily, and the situation was deadlocked for a while.

The giant snake was bathed in thunder, but the flashing lightning was reluctant to fall.

The white tower is still fighting against the sun's brilliance, but it is no longer growing upwards.

The sun was still emitting its scorching rays, and Adam was watching it all calmly. Among all beings, he was the only one who was not affected.

That's not accurate either.

Because He was also affected, but He had anticipated all of this, so He was able to get rid of the influence faster than others.

He knew that the Fool had been born and Amon's plan had failed.

They should retreat now, conserve their strength, and look forward to the next counterattack.

However, Adam knew very well that they would not have a second chance, or even a first chance.

Rather, they never had a chance.

It's just that they always thought there was a chance, just because Adam kept instilling in them the idea that there was still a chance, and they chose to believe it.

They believed in Adam's position, believed that Adam had no choice and would definitely be hostile to the Goddess of Night and others.

They also believed that as long as Amon could become a secret, the advantage would come to them.

They also believed that Adam's plan was extremely comprehensive and would be foolproof, with a success rate of nearly 100%.

Because in the previous several times, Adam had proved his ability to them - whether it was the hidden sage, or the sacrificed Medici. It was the fall of these two that allowed the Lord of Steam and the Original Witch to obtain a ticket to the old days.

Once they gain the knowledge of the Wilderness and the City of Disaster, they can become the Old Ones.

Helping Amon to become a god is also for their own benefit.

They want to become the Old Ones, but they dare not take the risk of the initial revival, so they urgently need someone to resist the thunder for them - and Amon is this person. As long as he can obtain the uniqueness of the 'Fool', he must become the Old One in the shortest time.

By then, He who has become the Old One will take all the risks.

If He cannot hold on, He will fall, which will not be much of a loss to beings like the Lord of Steam.

If they can resist, Amon will also give them feedback and help them become the Old Ones - after all, their paths are not adjacent to Amon's, and Amon has no reason to covet them unless he wants to die.

However, what they didn't know was that it was all a scam from beginning to end.

A worldwide scam.

In this scam, even Adam himself is a pawn and even a sacrifice.
-
The 'Goddess of Night' was the second one to regain consciousness. She did not rush to attack the Original Witch, but instead cast her gaze towards Adam in the distance.

This made Him notice a detail only now - Adam was obviously the initiator of everything, but He was on the periphery of the battlefield from beginning to end, being dragged there by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, unable to move forward.

And if an accident happens, Adam's position is also the fastest one, and even Clana cannot stop him.

It seemed as if He had already calculated everything.

But the question is, why didn't He run?
Amon has fallen, and the Fool has been born.

If they don't leave now, a mysterious reckoning will be waiting for them!
There was no way Adam didn't understand this, but he didn't run away alone, nor did he try to wake up the Lord of Steam and other beings and take them away from the battlefield, nor did he suddenly attack others when they were still unconscious - whether it was the God of Knowledge and Wisdom or the Lord of Storms, their extraordinary characteristics were necessary for Adam.

Is He not moved at all?

The 'Goddess of Night' didn't have time to think about it, because the Original Witch had regained consciousness!

He obviously hasn't realized what has happened, but He knows that The Fool has been born and their plan has failed!
In this situation, retreat is the best and only option.

So the moment he regained consciousness, the black tentacles that were like pythons pressing against his eyeballs began to retract rapidly.

But at this moment, flames suddenly began to burn at the tips of the countless black tentacles, and human faces emerged from the flames at the same time!

Without exception, these faces all belong to Medici!

The tentacles froze in mid-air again, because even the original witch's body had been affected. He had never thought that the swallowed Medici was still alive, and even tricked him at this critical moment!
But no matter what, the 'Goddess of Night' will not let go of this opportunity.

When the Original Witch failed to leave the battlefield in the first place, she was destined to never leave!

The Lord of Steam also saw that the situation was not good and wanted to leave the battlefield. The torrents of information suddenly dispersed, trying to merge into the various symbols around and disappear. But at this moment, the sun in the sky suddenly emitted a bright light, and the countless information flows were forced out of the symbols, like a ball of liquid discharged from the body, circling in the void.

"Adam!"

In the void, the roar of a certain existence could be faintly heard!

But Adam obviously didn't care, his expression was as calm as ever, as if all this was also within his expectations.

He raised his head and looked up into the sky. The Black Emperor had appeared above the battlefield at some point, staring at the Lord of Steam with cold eyes.

The Mother Goddess of Earth also immediately changed her strategy. The plants that had originally surrounded the palace grew wildly and quickly, completely enveloping the hazy light and information flow emitted by the symbols.

The Lord of Steam is extremely blessed to have two dual-path true gods serving him alone.

The only small problem is that it would be difficult for Him to leave here alive today.

But it’s not a big problem, because the extraordinary characteristics will not disappear, and there will always be someone who will become the second Lord of Steam and the God of All Machines.

Adam took a step forward, and no one stopped him.

The Goddess of Night and other beings wanted to surround and kill the Lord of Steam and the Original Witch, and had no time to take care of Him.

The next second, Adam, wearing a simple white robe and a light golden beard, suddenly appeared at the edge of the sea area where the gods' war ruins were.

The sea then parted, revealing a road that led directly to the place stained with the blood of the ancient sun god, to the projection of the Giant King's Court, and to the land abandoned by the gods.

Deep in the God-forsaken Land, on the top of a mountain, a huge cross stood upright, with a looming figure hanging upside down. (End of this chapter)
