Mystery: Higher-Dimensional Overlookers

Chapter 533 What is Madness
"Yes, you are right. The True Creator was promoted to the Pillar one step ahead of you, so you can only be ranked third."

Gao Wei smiled and looked at Klein. Klein, who was standing not far away, raised the corners of his mouth, and then grinned to his ears. In the cracked corners of his mouth, the worms twisted regularly and continuously, looking extremely creepy.

"Very good... As we said before, I have awakened the will of the Heavenly Venerable in advance. I wonder if it has been of any help to you at this time?"

"Of course you helped me, Zhou Mingrui. Rather, your awakening of the will of the Heavenly Lord is one of my preparations for becoming the first ritual."

After finishing speaking, Gao Wei smiled:
"After you defeated the will of the Celestial Lord that awakened in you, the only one who has not yet transcended is the Fallen Mother Goddess."

"And the Fallen Mother Goddess can be completely relieved now. She has already transcended, and when I asked her to intercept the Mother Tree of Desire, I had already told her the location of her Essence, so the Fallen Mother Goddess's speed will not be slow."

"After all, even the cosmic singularity has appeared, so the Fallen Mother Goddess will choose to make herself complete."

Listening to Gao Wei's words, Klein grinned:

"Well, you're putting a lot of pressure on me, Lao Gao. I originally chose Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun as the outer garment that He wears on His body, and I'm currently engaged in a protracted tug-of-war with Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's will - if I slow down, will it affect you?"

"If I fail and allow Tianzun to revive in my body, and if He chooses to destroy your ritual, what will you do?"

"It's just that my ritual wasn't very effective. You don't have to worry about that. Also, have a good dream, Klein. You can go home when you wake up."

Gao Wei smiled mysteriously at Klein, and Klein seemed to understand something.

He suppressed his fatigue, tightened the corners of his "cracked" mouth, and revealed a relatively normal smile:
"Then I'll borrow your good words, Lao Gao."

"After we can truly 'go home', let's go out and get together again."

Klein slowly sat down at the back. Gao Wei stretched out his hand, and a comfortable chair appeared behind Klein.

Seeing the chair appear behind him, Klein leaned against it, placed his hands on the armrests, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Not long after Klein closed his eyes, in the distance, a blood-red moon slowly began to emit its own light.

……

Klein staggered forward.

He held a cane in his left hand and his revolver in his right hand. Sand was flying in the air, and the ground was also a dark desert made up of countless gravel.

The flying sand in the sky emitted a gray color in the dim light, just like the gray fog that Klein usually saw in Sefirah Castle. It seemed a bit misty around Klein for a moment.

If I change the tone, I can call this place "Heaven", a slightly poetic name... But Lord Tianzun, why do you always use these underworld things?
Klein smiled bitterly in his heart. He took a deep breath, sucking the surrounding sand into his nostrils.

He coughed and thought with a smile:
"At least after this battle is over, I can rest, right?"

"As long as I can go back... ahem, I've been working for three years straight now. After I go back, I have to find a reason to have a good rest..."

Klein raised the scepter in his left hand, paused in the air for a moment, and then slammed it to the ground. As soon as the scepter landed, the surrounding dust quickly condensed and turned into a mirror-like surface.

In the misty gray fog made of sand, the figure of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun stood there quietly.

He held a long sword in his hand and wore a long robe. If you ignore the strange aura on Tianzun and the mask on his face, he looked like a character from a fairy tale novel.

Klein laughed, with a hint of joking in his tone:

"You are well dressed today, Tianzun."

"Should I say thank you for the compliment?"

Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun tilted his head slightly, gathered his flowing hair with his hands, and slowly walked towards Klein:

"Want to fight with swords?"

Klein raised the scepter in his left hand, holding the revolver in his right hand, and shrugged his shoulders:

"Of course not. In fact, I know nothing about these things."

While the two were chatting, the secret confrontation had actually begun. Several tentacles emitting light had emerged beside Klein and were entangled in the direction of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

The tentacles easily penetrated Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's body, but Klein's expression became frozen at the same time.

He quickly turned sideways, his body flipped upside down in an incredible posture, and a long sword appeared directly where Klein was just now, as if it was about to cut off Klein's head with a thrust!
A light gray mist appeared where Klein had originally stood as the long sword fell.

The figure of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun followed closely behind. He suddenly stretched out his left hand forward, and large areas of historical fog suddenly emerged. The long sword was inserted into the afterimage left by Klein in the historical fog - and stabbed suddenly.

Klein only felt a pain in his chest, and then he discovered that there were some black spots on his chest. The shape of the black wounds was similar to the scars of a long sword, and they were constantly corroding outwards.

He acted decisively and snapped his fingers. A white flame immediately burned fiercely on his own historical image, burning his historical projection into ashes.

"Purification"!
On Klein's body, the same white but much weaker flames burned, leaving many marks of burns on his body. However, this was not fatal to an Old One - even after being severely weakened, it still had the damage of a True God.

Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun put away the sword in his hand and slowly walked towards Klein with a smile on his face, as if he had completely seen through the trick Klein had just used.

"If I remember correctly, you have never tried to influence the present by influencing historical projections before. You are already amazing for being able to do this for the first time, but look at your chest - the scar is still there."

He wanted to show the power I was using, to make it appear that my abilities and actions were all within His calculations.

...Thus, in my eyes, it appeared that I had no ability to resist Him, but there was more hidden in my move of "killing my past self"!
Just now, Klein used the flame to cover up his "little move" of attacking the historical projection of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun and trying to use the "wrong" authority to graft it onto the current Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

But at this moment, Tianzun smiled, and he produced a fan from nowhere, covering most of his face:
"I guess you think that even though I'm standing here and telling you how you used your power just now, you still have other means hidden that I haven't discovered?"

This is a fraud... Klein calmly thought about using the "Fool" method to protect his thoughts and prevent Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun from stealing his thoughts. But at this moment, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun laughed softly.
"I guess you just thought in your mind that this was a fraud, but is it really a fraud?"

He swung the fan suddenly to the left, and the blood moon belonging to the Fallen Mother Goddess, which was about to appear on the left side, was repaired by Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, so that no symbol of authority that did not belong to the Lord of Mysteries appeared here.

Klein's pupils contracted, and he rolled on the ground quickly. His body suddenly became thinner and smaller.

Paper man!
At the place where Klein was just now, several spikes made of gray mist suddenly appeared. The tentacles dragging behind Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun shrank back, obviously feeling a little regretful for not being able to make a fatal blow just now.

"You are deceiving me - I am right, but you are not deceiving me in the same way as I was thinking."

Klein also stood up after rolling, but this time he walked towards Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun without dodging or avoiding.

He moved the revolver to his left hand, and in his right hand he held a scepter that looked very hard - this was also the scepter that Klein had used to pound the ground before.

"You have only done one deception from the beginning. You used the power of the Fool to fool me and make me lose my sensitivity to this world. As a result, I unknowingly ignored that this is not the outside world, but my inner world. The battle between us is just a clash of our wills."

Klein's voice seemed to be mixed with mechanical sounds, with some overlap: "Or is this our mental world?"

"Why do you care so much?"

The Heavenly Venerable walked forward, and behind Him, one huge figure after another appeared. Some of these figures looked like humans, while others were not.

What is the same is that every figure behind Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun has the same traces:
Their eyes are cold and crazy, and they regard all things as straw dogs, just like the ruthless law of nature in mythology.

"After all, in my opinion, the Brave New World that the Higher Dimension promised you is no different from what I can promise you. You chose to believe in Him instead of me simply because He came one step ahead of me."

Tianzun said with a smile, but Klein was not moved at all and retorted:

"Yes, He was the Old One but did not replace me. And you, my friend, have wanted to devour me completely since I was born into this world."

"Do you still think that I will be shaken by your words?"

Tianzun knocked his head in annoyance: "It seems that you have some misunderstandings about me..."

As he was speaking, the long sword in Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's hand had already arrived in front of Klein, but Klein had expected this. He raised the hard scepter in his hand to block Tianzun's attack.

As the staff and sword intersected, the surroundings suddenly became dark. Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun stared at Klein with cold eyes, but Klein did not give in at all.

A few avatars also appeared behind Klein, and the number of these avatars continued to increase. But even so, they could not be compared with the "shadow" behind Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

The balance of victory slowly slid towards Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, and the area that Klein could occupy in the source essence became smaller and smaller.

Tianzun's expression did not change at all, and various symbols appeared behind him. Even though Klein activated the authority in his body like Tianzun, it actually did not have much effect.

This is because Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun is much more proficient in using the authority of the "Lord of Mysteries" than he is.

This is the accumulation brought by time. Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun has been in the past for too long, which is not something Klein himself can compare to.

I need a way to break the impasse... Klein thought calmly, and at this moment, he remembered what the High-Dimensional Overlooker had said to him before... a certain obscure hint.

Klein suddenly laughed:
"Tianzun, you are not as strong as I imagined."

"Otherwise, there is no need for you to appear in front of me like this. With your status, can't you just use your absolute spirit to overwhelm me? Why do you have to do this now?"

"Or……"

Blind and stupid!

Klein directly used "Blind Stupidity"!
After the blind and foolish authority hit Tianzun's head, Tianzun's body leaned back slightly.

Klein pulled out his revolver, and several crystal clear bullets were loaded into it as Klein thought about it.

But Tianzun raised his hand, holding in his hand the slowly dispersing gray mist.

He smiled and said, "I admit that you are strong, but you still cannot defeat me here. Your willpower of just three years plus your life of more than twenty years, how can it match my accumulation of such a long time."

"How about giving me the power so that I can retain more power to fight against higher-dimensional beings? I can not devour your will and let you serve as a mask and an incarnation of mine, acting as my eyes in this world."

"I can promise to help you piece the earth together. After all, it's better for my other side not to wake up. I am much more merciful than Him. If He wakes up, the universe will be reshuffled again. Oh, by that time, God will probably wake up again."

The corners of Klein's mouth curled up:

"OK?"

Tianzun was stunned, and quickly turned into several flying paper figures and moved away from Klein. But at this moment, a slender tentacle pierced through Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's chest.

Klein said:
"But the prerequisite is that your will can be preserved until that moment without dissipating."
