31 You can call me Amon

Alice's answer confirmed Klein's guess. He ignored Alice's "intimate" address to Amon and silently raised his vigilance against Mr. "Door".

These are the only diaries Cattleya or Bernadette sent this time. After discussing these, Alice glanced at Klein and thought of Anderson, who was nowhere to be found:

"...Do you know where Anderson is?"

Klein spread his hands.

The answer was obvious, so Alice gave up asking further questions and sighed,

"Ah... I hope he can arrive before the new holy book is compiled."

The compilation of the new holy book of the church still needs time. Even if it is compiled, it will not be published in a short time. Theoretically, it should be smooth sailing for Anderson to find a night church to pray during this period.

Even if he is unlucky.

Alice sincerely hoped that Anderson would return her monocle before then, so that she would have a unified image in public.

As for privately...haha, who cares.

However, Alice's mention of the Holy Scripture reminded Klein of another thing: "Did you remind Leonard..."

When it comes to the Church of Night, there are always a few people who cannot be avoided. The hurdle of Captain Dunn, at least for Alice, has come to an end for the time being - the captain did not blame her, nor did he resent her, he just would never treat her as the original Alice again.

Alice knew very well that there was no way to solve this problem. She was sad, and the matter ended just like that. She did not dwell on it, just like Evelyn - perhaps this state of affairs was the best for them.

As for Klein...how to explain it is his business.

After all, Melissa and Benson didn't know the truth either—Alice felt that Klein would face no fewer farewells than she did.

But there is one person's question that they may have to face together - after all, Alice once reminded Leonard about the protagonist of the era.

She wasn't sure whether Leonard would think of related issues from her resurrection. In fact, Alice suspected that the captain had thought about it, but the captain might not take the initiative to dig the grave.

Because once the grave is dug up, whether there is a body inside or not, things will become different. And judging from the captain's decisive "Sir", he obviously does not want to explore these issues.

Unless the captain thinks they are monsters or evil gods... well, they really seem to be

Alice. She closed her eyes and asked Klein, "If he comes to ask, which card should I give him? Or... let him draw it himself?"

"... Star brand, I guess." Klein concluded.

Alice nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"Can I deal cards to other people?"

This was not a question, it was more like a notification. Although Alice had never actively dealt cards, she believed that she should have this right.

The Fool is her beloved!

Klein certainly wouldn't reject Alice on this point, but he looked at Alice and made a request:

"If you meet the right person, can you ask me what I think first?"

This was the insurance he gave Alice to prevent her from accidentally bringing in any strange people.

Alice looked at him doubtfully after hearing what he said, and couldn't help muttering:

"There's no way I could bring anyone in without your consent.

"I will definitely ask you and get your consent. Otherwise, how can I recruit people... Hmm, do you mean that I have to ask you first, then tell him about the Fool and the Tarot cards, and then draw the cards?"

"Yes," Klein nodded, "Besides, you always have to test the other party's credibility…"

"That's not necessary," Alice raised her hand. "In fact, I have a simpler way to solve the credibility problem."

Klein looked at her and motioned for her to continue, so Alice replied proudly:

"We can learn from the Aurora Society and the True Creator. Everyone, no matter if they are good or evil, no matter what they have done before, will become a devout believer as long as they pray.

"Of course, this is just my guess, but I think it is very likely true. If it doesn't work, we can still learn from 'Eternal Blazing Sun'.

"I remember that the Church of Storms had a table that praised the 'Eternal Sun'... although it was dismantled."

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched.

This refers to an incident that happened in the Church of Storms. Inside the Church of Storms, there was a table that was contaminated by the seal of the "Sun" path, and it turned into a fool who could only praise the sun. So, the gang of punishers dismantled the table and threw it into the fireplace...

It can be regarded as praising the sun with one's life.

This seems to be a true portrayal of the entire "Sun" path - most of the side effects of the magical items made with the extraordinary properties of the "Sun" path are the same, which is to praise the sun and let others praise the sun.

This kind of brainwashing missionary method is actually similar to the "real creator" in a sense. Both of them turn people into fools with only faith.

It is undeniable that Alice's words make sense. As long as he has the ability to turn all those who have read the Fool's name and all those who have prayed to the Fool into fools who only know how to praise the Fool and the Tarot Club, then the problem will be solved.

But the end result of doing this would make him very unhappy. Although he knew that Alice was just joking, he still looked at Alice with a pious face and said:

"Praise you, great lady of destiny."

Alice shuddered.

Klein laughed at her expression and asked her,

"Ms. Fate, you don't want all your believers to treat you like this one day, do you?"

Alice began to shake her head quickly.

Klein reached out and knocked on her head to stop her action, then said to her seriously:

"I don't want that either.

"This is not faith, this is foolishness without self-thinking.

"I don't want my believers to be like this, just like Emperor Roselle doesn't want his child to really become an angel - although this example doesn't seem so appropriate."

"…But," Alice couldn't help but correct him, "You're only Sequence 5 now. Isn't it too early to consider becoming a believer?"

Mr. Fool, who had just revived to Sequence 5, remained silent.

They didn't chat for too long. Alice soon returned to the real world and tried to divine where Anderson was at Klein's suggestion.

…

After entering the book "Groselle's Travels" and returning, Anderson Hood said goodbye to German Sparrow and began to think about which Church of Night he should go to.

The sea was the domain of storms, and as for something like entering the Church of Night to pray, Anderson thought it would be better for him to go to Loen.

But Anderson Hood had no intention of finding a random church at night to go in and pray. Although he was not a wanted criminal on the sea and could do so, the bad luck left by this lady of fate might not be simple.

After Anderson Hood considered the matter carefully, he chose two places. One was Backlund, the capital of Loen, and the other was the legendary temple.

Anderson Hood believed that the Church of Night in other places might not meet the requirements to know the identity of Miss Destiny.

Although he was not a wanted criminal and could easily set foot on the mainland and go into any dark church to pray, he might be arrested for this ridiculous matter.

After careful consideration, Anderson finally chose the Cathedral of Saint Samuel in Backlund. Without other reasons, the cathedral in Wintershire was still a little too dangerous, especially for wild Beyonders.

After arriving at Pritz Harbor by boat and taking the subway from Pritz Harbor to Backlund, Anderson couldn't wait... and decided to rest for a night.

After resting up, Anderson Hood got up from the hotel bed early the next morning. After checking out, he had breakfast before heading towards St. Samuel's Cathedral.

…

Alice no longer needs to go through the trouble of falling asleep to complete dream divination. With just a thought, the scene of the future will appear before her eyes.

The scenes connected into a complete and smooth future. Alice saw Anderson Hood walking into the church in the dim morning light, wearing a monocle.

However, this "strongest hunter" who had not stepped into a church for a long time did not know that at least the three official churches of Loen - Storm, Night, and Steam - all banned the bringing of monocles into the church.

After observing in the revelation of the future that the bishop had sent someone to inform his superiors, Alice closed her eyes in reluctance and decided to wait for Anderson the next morning.

She had identified from the revelation that the church Anderson had entered was the St. Samuel's Cathedral, which she was very familiar with.

So the next morning, Alice walked into the church in the morning light, sat on the first bench at the front, closed her eyes and made a prayer posture, while focusing her attention on the door.

Angels have a great advantage in this regard. As long as there is a medium - it can be a believer, residual power, an object or something else. In short, as long as there is a similar medium, she can cast her gaze over the entire Backlund, or even the whole world.

It's just that the level of power that can be projected is different.

This way of observing the world through spirituality is often more straightforward. She can see many things that are invisible to the naked eye, and even difficult to detect with spiritual vision - for example, she can see the disguised and hidden Amon.

Despite this, she didn't need to watch like this to feel Amon's presence - this was a spiritual warning.

However, Alice no longer trusted the spiritual warnings so much, mainly because the spiritual did not remind her of the goddess's watch.

This explains a lot of things - when facing certain beings, spirituality does not always work, and she cannot rely on spirituality to survive.

Just like spirituality probably wouldn't remind her about the "Key of Light".

With a slight spiritual touch, Alice "saw" Anderson Hood wearing glasses and walking into the church, and she quickly opened her eyes.

But the bishop's reaction was different from what Alice saw in the revelation. He had already recognized Alice's identity and only nodded in greeting, but now he turned his eyes to Alice.

The bishop did not come up to Alice to say anything, but Alice realized that he was waiting for her reaction, so she thought for a moment, turned her head and waved to Anderson and shouted:

"Anderson? I finally waited for you - come here."

Having said this, she gave up the seat next to her.

When Anderson saw her for the first time, his expression was surprise, and then, after the shock, he felt more like enlightenment.

Alice saw Anderson smiled in realization and walked towards her while asking:

"Are you waiting for me here?"

Alice stared at Anderson for two seconds, then smiled and gave a response that matched her image:

"No, I came here because I knew I would meet you here today."

During their conversation, the bishop withdrew his gaze from the two of them and focused his attention on others.

This was a kind of trust that allowed her to have full authority over things. Alice had hardly experienced this kind of trust before. She was inexplicably moved and decided to thank the bishop later.

Her unfathomable answer did not make Anderson feel uncomfortable at all. Anderson even walked over and sat down with an attitude of "I expected it".

Alice looked at Anderson curiously. As she watched, Anderson took off the monocle on his right eye, handed it to her, and whispered:

"This is the item Hermann gave me. It was said to have come from you."

After a pause, relying on his previous experience of apologizing to the "audience" demigod, he asked very sincerely:

"I apologize to you for my previous rudeness. Since you are here, can I assume that, in your opinion, I have been punished enough?"

It was indeed an apology, but it didn't seem quite that way—it did a good job of irritating Alice.

She squinted her eyes at Anderson, took the monocle, and waved her hand to lift the bad luck on Anderson.

Alice then chuckled, put the monocle on her right eye, turned it to adjust the position, then looked at Anderson and said in an intimate tone:

"You know what, dear Anderson?

"I just helped you a lot - in Backlund, if you walk into a church wearing a monocle, the bishop of the church might think you want to rob the church's donation box.

"And if you give me the monocle, it will be all right.

"After all, I've just done what I wanted to do, and I'm just waiting for a monocle - oh, yes.

"Have I not introduced myself yet, dear Anderson?

"You can call me Amon... Um, Dolly Amon?" (End of this chapter)

32 Welcome to join us

Strictly speaking, the name "Dolly Amon" was first used by her to scold Amon for being a shrewd imitator, but was later returned by Amon.

But she had to admit that the name was quite useful, especially when she was really learning from Amon.

Alice noticed that the bishop had shifted his gaze in this direction, which was her purpose—because Anderson didn't know enough about Amon to feel the terror of being there just because of a name.

Her purpose was simply to replicate the scene in Revelation where "Anderson was mistaken for Amon".

However, after saying this, Alice suddenly had a strange feeling.

At a certain moment, something seemed to touch her soul, and she suddenly felt that she should go look for the "Chaos Walker" potion.

...Isn't this right?

This feeling should be a premonition after the promotion ceremony is completed, that is, she has just disrupted a certain story that has been determined and written a new story - although it may only be the beginning.

But the problem is... Alice has always felt that she had broken a certain story a long time ago. That story, whose content she didn't know, has now become a completely new story. Just as Klein said, she is the new protagonist.

If she still struggled with the "Mage of Doom" period, in the "Chaos Walker" stage, she never considered the possibility of performing the ritual herself.

——Hasn't it been completed long ago?

So, what did she just disrupt?

No, what did she just do?

...Pretending to be Amon?

But, this doesn't seem to be the first time she pretended to be Amon...

Is there anything different this time from before?

Inspiration refused to remind her on this matter, so Alice could only ponder it by herself. After a brief thought, she decided to seek help from the great detective Mr. Sherlock Moriarty.

He must be good at reasoning.

Let's put this matter aside for now. Alice leaned over to Anderson, who was half confused and half uneasy, and continued to speak to him in the same intimate tone as before:

"Welcome to join us.

"Anderson Amon."

Having done so, she disappeared from the church.

…

The huge city of Backlund actually hides many clones of Amon, whether they are microorganisms in the air, birds flying in the sky, or ants crawling on the road.

——If you are lucky enough, you can try to catch a dog on the roadside and kiss it with your tongue. Maybe you can experience the feeling of kissing the great angel of time.

Of course, if you plan to implement this, the first thing you should note is that Amon generally does not go near urban areas, especially churches, and he has always been very respectful to the true God.

However, today's Amons seemed particularly excited.

This did not just happen in Backlund. In fact, it happened all over the world. If it weren't for the signal delay caused by the seal, it should have also included the interior of the "God-Forsaken Land".

Anyway, at a certain moment, the basin of water named "Amon" suddenly began to boil, and the Amons all looked in a certain direction and said in unison:

"Welcome to join us.

"Dolly Amon."

The sound was not loud. Although there were many Amons, the density of Amons who did not gather together was relatively low, so no one noticed it. If there were any Amons, they would have joined this big family, right?

Alice, who was in the church, was even less likely to know about it. She just hid in the place where she was. After confirming that Anderson had to start proving to the church that he was still himself, she fled the scene with a snicker.

Wearing that monocle.

Alice did not go to look for Klein immediately. This was of course a very important matter, but Alice thought that although she didn't know what happened, it was a good thing anyway, so she could have a cup of ice cream to celebrate first.

Yes, she admitted that she just wanted to eat ice cream.

Alice was looking for an ice cream stand on the street. As she walked aimlessly, she thought of another thing.

It was not difficult for Alice to learn the ability of a magical item, so she strolled along the street, combining its ability and appearance, and began to think about whether this thing should have a name.

——It can't still be called "accessories for getting rich".

The original idea of ​​making the "get-rich-accessory" into the shape of a monocle was a meaningless, anger-releasing act by Alice.

Just as Alice said at the time, she hoped that the "Key of Light" would encounter a player who did not follow the rules at all and completely ruined its game.

Of course, it was unrealistic to count on Amon. To be honest, Alice felt that the real owner of Sefirah Castle was more suitable for this role.

Amon is more of a meal replacement.

Because of this, even though she wore the monocle on her right eye, Alice knew better than anyone that it was of no use to her at all, even worse than the ice cream in her hand.

At least it tastes good.

Facing this monocle, which had a far greater symbolic meaning than its practical significance, Alice murmured thoughtfully:

"Give it a more auspicious name, at least it sounds nice...

"Hmm, should we call it 'Good Luck Accessory'?

" "No, no, that's too hasty... Well, why not call it 'Lucky Star'!"

A name not much more serious than "good luck accessory" was decided.

…

Klein had just finished finalizing the list of servants when he heard the prayer.

Although he strongly suspected that it was Alice looking for him again, Klein still dutifully found the bathroom as quickly as possible and headed above the gray fog to check the source of the sound.

As expected, the crimson star that belonged to Alice was swelling. Klein extended his spiritual sense to check and heard Alice's familiar voice:

"Great Detective~ Can you help me with a deduction?

"Please, Detective Sherlock Moriarty~

"By the way, you should have almost packed up, right? Can I come find you?"

It doesn't seem like an urgent matter… Klein shook his head and responded after a moment of silence:

"Three o'clock in the afternoon… um, three to three forty-five in the afternoon.

"Don't let anyone find out."

He still trusted Alice in this regard. Although Alice had done ridiculous things like making Admiral Amyrius's pants fall down, at least she did not expose to outsiders that Admiral Amyrius was actually Gehrman Sparrow.

Just like Alice on the "Future", who promised him to wait until the return trip, although she was very... interested in Frank Lee, she didn't actually do anything.

She just likes to play a little, she doesn't really know the difference between the important and the unimportant.

With trust in Alice, Klein walked out of the bathroom. When it was three o'clock in the afternoon, he told the servants,

"I usually take a three-quarter-hour nap at this time. Don't let anyone disturb me."

This instruction was not just for Alice. In fact, it was mainly for the Tarot Club every Monday at 3pm. The next order was really about Alice:

"...make an ice cream and send it over."

Klein clearly noticed the flashes of doubt in the eyes of his valet, his housekeeper, and his various servants.

He knew what they were wondering, after all, eating ice cream before a nap did sound like a strange habit.

But——Alice only has these few hobbies.

So, when Alice appeared in Mr. Fool's bedroom, a piece of ice cream was pushed in front of her.

Alice subconsciously picked up the ice cream and scooped a spoonful, then asked him excitedly:

"Are you really not considering having another daughter or sister?"

After a pause, she added,

"If you're not worried that someone will think you're a pervert, having a lover is not out of the question..."

"...What do you want?" Klein looked at Alice coldly, ignoring what she said, and asked her.

Alice shrugged her shoulders and tactfully avoided the topic, asking for help:

"I want you to help me find out what the differences are between my several experiences of pretending to be Amon.

"Well, to be precise, what's different this time from the previous times."

Klein signaled her with his eyes to continue.

Alice then blinked and told the whole story of how she had taken the monocle from Anderson Hood:

"Here's the thing. You remember Anderson, right? It's this monocle that I got back from him."

Klein glanced at Alice and asked her, "...You pretended to be Amon in front of Anderson?"

"...Yes." Alice nodded.

Klein glanced at Alice and guessed, "It shouldn't be that effective, right? After all, Anderson doesn't know who Amon is."

This is true. Alice nodded and explained:

"Yes, but my original intention was not to scare him... What happened was that I met him in the Church of Night.

"What he said was so irritating, you know, and I got mad at him, so I thought... well, I was going to find something to do with him.

"For example, let him prove in the Church of Darkness that he is indeed himself, not Amon."

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched. He quickly imagined the scene at that time and nodded in understanding.

He did not scold Alice for this matter, because as Alice said, Anderson was indeed a foul-mouthed person, and he believed that this was the result of Alice's restraint.

"Tell me about the process?" he gestured.

Alice replied while recalling:

"First, Anderson returned the monocle to me, but his words were so irritating that I couldn't help myself and...

"Ah, I see!"

Alice suddenly slapped the table in front of her with her hand, sat up straight with excitement, and said with sparkling eyes:

"I know what's different this time!"

The great detective Sherlock Moriarty, who had not yet begun to play a role, looked at Alice with a puzzled look.

Alice shrunk her shoulders and murmured to him:

"I didn't know it would be like this."

Klein didn't pay much attention to this matter. Instead, he asked curiously,

"So, what's the difference? Oh, how did you notice the difference?"

Alice then answered his questions one by one:

"Because my promotion ceremony was completed suddenly, I felt that this time was different from the previous ones...

"The difference, I think, is that… this was the only time I said in person that I was Amon.

"Because I remember that before, when I pretended to be Amon, I wore a monocle and imitated Amon's speech.

"I, I have never told anyone that I am Amon. It's all others' imagination."

Klein was slightly stunned, then frowned, and was very keenly aware of one thing:

"...In other words, for Amon, speaking certain words personally has a different meaning?

"you..."

He frowned and began to look at Alice with a worried look.

"...I won't suddenly turn into Amon one day!" Alice defended herself angrily, "After all, I'm an angel. I can't be so powerless to fight back!"

Klein made his worried gaze more cautious, trying his best not to be noticed by Alice.

But Alice couldn't hide this. She gritted her teeth in anger and glared at Klein before analyzing,

"It should be related to His authority, right? After all, it was a 'mistake'...

"Perhaps this verbal recognition and promise can be replaced with something like a contract?

"Besides, this should be a good thing – a good thing in the grand scheme of things.

"So can you take that worried look off your face?"

Klein obediently withdrew his gaze.

Alice calmed her anger with a big mouthful of ice cream, then continued with a frown:

"But I'm really curious about what Amon wants from me... If, I mean if, I say in person that I'm Amon, it means something important."

"…He wants an avatar at the same level as the Hidden Sage?" Klein guessed reasonably.

"?" Alice glared at him, "I told you I won't suddenly turn into Amon!"

"Okay," Klein nodded obediently. "So, what do you think you can do for Amon?"

Alice was choked. Although this sentence sounded like an insult to her, Alice couldn't refute it because she couldn't figure out what use she was to Amon.

Alice frowned and tried to analyze calmly:

"In fact, theoretically speaking, to determine what Amon wants from me, we should first determine His purpose."

There was nothing wrong with what she said. Klein nodded, agreeing with her.

Alice then continued with some hesitation:

"Let's first assume that Amon is probably just doing it for fun..."

"Ah?" Klein looked at Alice with a look that seemed to be hesitant to speak.

From his perspective, this embodiment of deception and mischief sounds like he at least has more brains than the eternally innocent child - the fun may just be an appearance.

"Let's assume for now," Alice said calmly, "If he is just doing this for fun, then in order to have more fun... He needs to become a god!" (End of this chapter)

33 Wonderful Reasoning

Admittedly, this inference sounds much more normal than Amon just wanting to have fun, but Klein still has a question:

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

Alice looked at Klein doubtfully and tried to explain:

"He, He wants to play, so of course he has to become more powerful so that he can play without any scruples...

"Hmm? Now that I think of it, it seems that everything he does is really for this purpose..."

Whether it was looking for Paleus or looking for the Fool, the two things Amon did were to become a god and to become the "Lord of Mysteries" - Alice realized that her guess might be correct.

What she said made sense. Would she really run into him? Klein did not comment on Alice's inference. He glanced at Alice and asked,

"But what does this have to do with you?"

"Hmm…" Alice blinked. "If you analyze it from this perspective, then it means that I have something that can help Amon become a god."

It made sense, but that wasn't the point, nor the difficulty. Klein nodded and asked,

"What is it?"

What Amon wants is the real difficulty.

But for Alice, the answer to this question was easy. With just a little thought, she knew what was the most special thing about him that was related to becoming a god.

"Ritual," she replied. "Do you remember what my godhood ritual was?"

Ceremony of becoming a god…? Klein quickly recalled the answer. He frowned and asked:

"Find the right opportunity in the torrent of fate...?"

Alice nodded and put a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.

This is a simple yet difficult ritual, because judging from Alice's description and attitude, the right opportunity cannot be predicted and can only be waited for.

When the time comes, you will naturally know when the right opportunity is.

As early as when he first heard about this ceremony, Klein found it incredible, but the question that shocked and puzzled him was not the ceremony itself. He frowned and asked:

"But what does this have to do with Amon?

"Could Amon steal your godhood ritual?"

"..." Alice put down the ice cream spoon and remained silent.

"?" Seeing Alice's hesitant gaze fall on her, he swallowed and asked uncertainly, "... Can you really steal it?"

"No," Alice shook her head and looked at Klein solemnly, "The ice cream has melted."

"?" Klein put away the complicated and changing expressions on his face and looked at Alice expressionlessly.

Alice looked at Klein with innocent eyes and shouted in a sweet voice:

"Can you change one~ Mr. Dantes~"

"No." Klein rejected her coldly.

Alice instantly put away her previous expression and glared at him fiercely.

It was useless. After staring at Klein, who had no expression on his face, for several seconds, Alice waved her hand and restarted the ice cream.

Now, she had a cup of ice cream she had never tasted before.

"..." Klein looked at Alice, hesitant to speak.

Alice seemed not to notice Klein's expression. She ate her ice cream while analyzing seriously:

"Look, the known Amon's path, from low to high, is either stealing or cheating, stealing things, stealing time, stealing fate...

"Since they stole all the way up, then the ritual of becoming a god is to steal someone else's ritual. Doesn't that make sense?"

Klein was speechless.

This was an undeniable inference. It was both far-fetched and extremely reasonable. After pondering it over, Klein found that he could not find a suitable reason to deny this logic, because there was no logic at all.

This is similar to how Amon's goal is actually to become a god—Klein found himself completely clueless about why Alice came to this conclusion.

After thinking for a long time, he finally found a point to refute from Alice's shaky but impeccable logic:

"But how can an opportunity that can be stolen be called the right opportunity?"

To Klein, this was the biggest flaw in Alice's logic, because if an opportunity could be stolen, it meant that it was not the right opportunity at all.

In fact, this was also Alice's point of view. Just as she said at the time, no matter what, the fact that she was sitting here now meant that she was lucky.

——If all those with bad luck had died, how could Sequence 7 of the Destiny Path be called the "Lucky Ones"?

But Alice had a different opinion about her deification ceremony. She shook her head and said, picking out the parts she could tell Klein:

"Because I have always felt... No, this should be the truth.

"I have always felt that as long as I can obtain the Beyonder Characteristics that follow, I will not lose control even if I swallow them directly.

"It's not like I'll go crazy or anything... How should I put it? It's just that if I do this, I might become a different person.

"It's a bit like being in a role and not being able to get out, but it's also different, because I'm not necessarily in the role… I'm really becoming that person.

"Became... the master of the remaining will in the Beyonder characteristics."

Klein was stunned for a moment.

This was a question they had discussed at the very beginning - to whom did the will remaining in the extraordinary entity belong? In other words, who were the castle's guards and the castle's owners?

At the time, they did not come up with a clear answer. Klein only had a guess - Beyonders of the same path fighting against the will of Beyonder characteristics would be helpful to the gods of the path.

In other words, if this will has a master, then its master should be the enemy of the gods.

And now, the implication of Alice's words seemed to indicate that his guess at that time was correct.

Alice was also in distress.

The knowledge above the sequence cannot be told to Klein because Alice cannot tell Klein her reasoning process.

This is actually a relatively simple process.

Become a god, then contain the corresponding source material, and then devour the "uniqueness" and Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics of the adjacent path, so that you can become the Old One - this is the standard process the goddess told her, and it is also the safest route.

For less safe routes, you can first try to accommodate the "uniqueness" of adjacent pathways and the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1. If you are lucky enough and accommodate enough adjacent pathways, then you will usher in the final fate of every extraordinary person.

——The awakening of the old will.

As a single-path olden day, the "Key of Light" does not have this worry. She does not need to hesitate like others about which step to take first. She only needs to become a god and then accommodate the source material. This is enough.

Because as long as she becomes a god, the will of the "Key of Light" will have all the necessary conditions to revive in her.

The worst thing is that Alice knows very well that she has a very deep connection with the "Key of Light". Although she doesn't understand what is happening to her, just as Song Shu said in her dream, they are inseparable.

She doesn't need to do anything, and similarly, the "Key of Light" probably doesn't need to do anything either, because if she wants to rebel, she must become a god. Once she becomes a god, it will be uncertain who she is.

When she realized this, Alice had an inexplicable intuition - this might be the gamble that Song Shu mentioned, and this was probably why Song Shu was so confident about the outcome.

She had no choice at all.

Even, considering the deification ritual of the "Destiny" path, Alice doubted whether she won or lost had any impact on the outcome.

——What is the right opportunity?

If all the Beyonders in the "Destiny" path are the resurrected ones in the "Key of Light" plan, then...

Is it true that whoever the "Key of Light" chooses to revive in will have the right opportunity and become a god?

It sounded as if she just happened to be unlucky enough to be chosen - there was something about her that attracted the Key of Light and made it choose her, but it could have chosen someone else.

According to the theory that high-sequence will affect low-sequence, Alice thinks this reason is very likely to be true - the "Key of Light" may just feel too bored and go to sleep.

He hasn't gotten enough sleep, so no one can become a god through the path of "destiny".

Of course, this was just Alice's speculation based on her own personality, according to the theory that low-sequence elements would be affected by high-sequence elements. If she were to be honest, she had a more vicious wish.

After all, keys can be used to open doors. She was able to enter Sephira Castle by herself. When she was promoted to Sequence 4 "Mage of Doom", she saw a gray fog on a tributary of the River of Destiny...

Maybe the "Key of Light" is kept as a figurine in the cabinet of the "Lord of Mysteries"?

Based on Alice's understanding of herself, she thought that the "Key of Light" might have "voluntarily" become this figurine.

But there was no way to tell Klein these thoughts, and Alice could only scratch her hair in pain and mutter,

"So annoying... When can you become an angel?"

Klein didn't dare to answer this question, and he had no way to answer it. He just lowered his head to look at the half cup of ice cream that had been gone without him knowing when, and changed the subject to something he cared about:

"Actually, I don't think you need to explain the reason to me, because even if you explain it, I don't seem to understand it.

"Although you explained how you came to such an answer in the previous two questions, to be honest, I don't understand it at all. It seems that you came to such a conclusion very suddenly.

"But damn, these answers seem reasonable at first glance - in fact, because they came from your mouth, I think they are likely to be correct.

"Alice, honestly…it's a good thing you didn't choose to become a detective.

"You should never become a detective again."

"Why?" Alice asked in confusion. "Isn't that a good thing? I can come up with answers quickly. Isn't that very suitable for being a detective?"

Klein glanced at her, shook his head and said,

"No.

"While you do get answers very quickly, which helps you get to the bottom of something, the problem is, it's too quick.

"To be honest, I think when I was a detective, some of my reasoning was already far-fetched, because I had the aid of divination, and I could get some information that other people couldn't get.

"After getting this information, I will use this answer to find the process and find a way to tell others the information... That's right!

" Alice, you are not reasoning at all!

"Your reasoning process is like someone who is not good at reasoning, trying his best to cram the answer into your brain!

"If you were a detective, other detectives would probably be pissed off by your reasoning."

Alice blinked, put down the ice cream in her hand, propped her chin with one hand, stared at him and asked:

"So...

"This person who is not good at reasoning and is trying his best to stuff information into my head...

"Who is it?"

Klein paused for a moment, remembering the joke they had made long ago.

When Alice claimed that she was the protagonist of a book, he once joked that now they were in a new book and Alice was the new protagonist.

So...

Klein gave a reasonable answer with a slight hesitation:

"…the author of this book?"

Alice was stunned for a moment and also remembered the joke they had made at that time.

Seems... there's nothing wrong with it?

Faced with this answer, Klein and Alice looked at each other, speechless.

They were not sure whether they should be horrified by this joke, just like Alice had been entangled in it. Perhaps their doubts and fears were also written in the script?

So, Alice chose to play badly.

She raised her hand, picked up the ice cream scoop she had just put down, picked up the cup of ice cream, and scooped out the remaining ice cream and ate it bite by bite.

Next, Alice put down the empty cup and spoon in her hands, licked her lips, and said to Klein,

"The ice cream tastes good.

"Any new ones?"

Klein looked at Alice in a trance. He was a little slow to react to the change in topic. He was stunned for a moment. At the moment his brain froze, his consciousness instinctively followed Alice's words and gave an answer:

"I'll ask someone to get it for you?"

Alice nodded in agreement.

So Klein stood up and prepared to go out to ask someone to bring Alice ice cream. When his hand fell on the door handle, he suddenly realized that this was not a suitable time to go out.

——Otherwise, Backlund will spread rumors tomorrow that Dwayne Dantès is a pedophile and has a mistress.

Oh, maybe it's not that exaggerated. Considering that Alice is now a saint of the Church of Evernight, after the new ceremony is compiled, this rumor will become...

Dwayne Dantès is so charming that even the saints of the Church of Night are attracted by him and secretly visit his bedroom during his nap.

As for Alice's age, it can be ignored. On the one hand, the strength and status of the saints are ranked first, and on the other hand...

No one would believe such an absurd fact that a minor could become a saint. (End of this chapter)
