Accommodation

"I had to do what I had to do." Ace calmly replied, unbothered by the reactions of the Tarot Club. 

He was sure that His Excellency has some sort of purpose for allowing these four young individuals, just now it was proven by Ms. Hermit's unexpected connection. 

Although he wasn't aware of the whole overview of Klein's plans, he had some knowledge about it. This time, they were planning to hunt an Outer Deity! 

Audrey and others looked at Ace with brightened eyes, their views over this angel taking a new look. 

"Well, I can only reveal that it was necessary to save me." Antigonus smiled at the four members of Tarot Club. 

"You four must be aware that as we go higher in our respective pathways, we become closer to the madness stemming from our Beyonder Characteristics."

Derrick nodded and asked curiously, "Mr. Antigonus, does that mean that you were on the verge of losing control?" 

Antigonus shook his head, "I already lost control."

What?! Derrick, Cattleya and Alger were stunned stiff, while Audrey did not show any particular reaction. 

'Based on their reactions, losing control must be something really bad. But something is not right. Why are their reactions so over-the-top? …Could it be that once you lose control, nothing can be done about it?!' Audrey also felt shocked, drawing into her own guesses. 

"Then how am I standing before you now? That must be what you four are thinking about. Unfortunately, I can't give hints, you four must first become Mr. Fool's Blessed to know of the secret." Antigonus slowly said with a hint of curiosity. Who among these four would enter their ranks in the future? 

'Anyone who receives His Excellency's blessing will be basking in luck for thousands of years.' Antigonus inwardly said to himself. 

Mr. Fool's Blessed? The members of Tarot Club thought before concluding that whatever saved Mr. Antigonus must involve Mr. Fool! The mighty being beyond true gods! 

The grand hall falling silent, Derrick slowly raised his hands, before he looked around and grimly said. 

"My parents are slowly dying. I-I want to do something to help them!" Derrick said while focusing on the mysterious figures beside Mr. Fool and Mr. Fool himself. 

"Our City of Silver has been cursed since the omniscient and omnipotent Creator suddenly stopped responding."

"Mr. Fool, what happened to 'Him'? Why did 'He' stop responding to us? Did 'He' really abandon us?" With a hint of despair, Derrick clenched his teeth, asking Mr. Fool, hoping to get an answer. 

Rapping the edge of the table, Klein cast his gaze at Derrick before smiling, "Explore the Afternoon Town and you will know the truth." Klein said, relaxing on the Seat of Honor, as if what he said was trivial. 

In truth, the problem with Derrick's parents will be soon solved after Zaratul successfully converted the faith of Moon City's residents. For now, Klein had secretly placed the City of Silver under his jurisdiction.

'So it all comes down to being strong enough!' Derrick clenched both his fists before standing up, bowing deeply to the mysterious figure shrouded in golden hue. 

Considering that Mr. Fool was the one who extended his help to him, not the omniscient and omnipotent Creator, Derrick was actually losing his faith to the latter bit by bit without noticing it. 

With Derrick completing his query, Audrey looked at everyone before biting her lips in embarrassment. "Um, what happens to a pet if it accidentally had drank a Beyonder potion?" 

Alger widened his eyes before he asked, "Why are you asking that? There are perhaps only three results. One, the pet successfully becoming a Beyonder. Two, the pet can lose control on the spot, turning into a monster. Three, immediate death."

"I-I was just curious." Audrey tried to appear calm, desperately stabilizing her emotions. I'm a Spectator. I'm a Spectator… 

"Pets that have successfully become a Beyonder can be tamed by a higher Sequence Beyonder of the corresponding pathway or by a Beast Tamer of the Moon Pathway." Antigonus kindly added. It was to remind Ms. Justice who probably let a pet become a Beyonder. 

Suddenly recalling something, Antigonus clicked his fingers and looked at the four, "I almost forgot. Most of you are just new to the Beyonder World. Do you four know of the acting method?" 

Acting method? Audrey and Alger looked at each other. It seemed that both of them were unaware. 

Cattleya had long learned about the acting method. After all, she wouldn't have reached her current level without it. 

"Yes. It was taught to us in the city." Derrick innocently answered, while Alger and Audrey shook their heads. 

"Okay. Then, can you explain the 'acting method' to Ms. Justice and Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Sun?" 

"It'll be my honor." Derrick hurriedly agreed before looking at Audrey and Alger. 

"The acting method is the process of acting according to the potion's name. This will help us digest the potion quickly." Derrick recited the meaning of 'acting method' based on the lessons he had taken while he was younger. 

Audrey and Alger looked confused. It seemed that they had not fully understood what it meant, only vaguely grasping it. 

Klein rapped the edge of the long mottled table, attracting everyone's attention. "Listen carefully."

"Imagine the core powers of your potion as a tightly guarded castle. The remnants of the psyche that can cause a backlash to reside within that castle. Your goal is to get rid of it and become the true master of the castle." 

"There are two ways you can do that. The first is to forcefully invade the castle. There is no guarantee that this will work, and you will most definitely injure yourself unless you can suppress it with absolute power."

"The second way is to get the owner of the castle to extend an invitation. This invitation can allow you to slide through the scrutiny of the guards and infiltrate the castle. You can then easily finish off the enemies. But the problem lies in the fact that this invitation specifies the facial features and characteristics of the guest. Thus, you have to disguise ourselves and act as a guest."

Klein smiled before thinking to himself, 'Actually, there is a third way. Becoming my Blessed and I can use Irregularity to help you digest the potion instantly.' 

However, that was only his random thought. He would never actually do it as it defeats the purpose of 'learning as you walk'. It is especially important to new Beyonders. 

Audrey and Alger stood up, bowing deeply towards Mr. Fool. 'His' explanation instantly cleared the fog surrounding the core truth of the 'acting method'. It was extremely helpful! 

As expected of Mr. Fool! Derrick looked in awe, he even learned a few more things about the 'acting method'. 

'This is the best explanation I have ever heard…' Cattleya inwardly muttered to herself, feeling a sense of respect towards Mr. Fool. 

'This must be the method those 'talented' Beyonders have used to quickly become strong!' Alger said to himself, thinking that joining the Tarot Club was surely helpful.

"We shall end the gathering here." Klein smiled kindly at the four members of Tarot Club. This day was surely fun to him. 

"As you will." Audrey, Alger, Derrick, and Cattleya stood up and bowed towards the mysterious figures before them, especially to Mr. Fool. 

As those words left their mouths, their figures faded into a crimson star, the star floating on their chair. 

"Eytora, I will assign you to hunt 'Her'. The Mother Goddess of Depravity, a Great Old One and Outer Deity." Klein looked at the woman standing beside him. 

"Do not worry as you will only hunt 'Her' seed 'She' planted on Roselle, the current Sequence 0: Black Emperor." 

"As you command, Lord Klein." Eytora bowed and accepted her mission, knowing that it would be in her capacity to complete it easily. 

"Mhm. Good." Klein nodded before continuing, "Guard my family, Ace and Antigonus. I will sleep for a few hours."

Knowing that Klein was planning to accommodate another pathway, the two Attendants bowed before vanishing from the Sefirah Castle.

"Eytora, stand by my side. I will accommodate The White Tower today." Klein said calmly. 

Eytora nodded, understanding Klein's intent as she had waited beside Klein yesterday while 'He' was accommodating Sequence 0: Visionary. 

Klein willed the system, a golden cocoon covering him and guarding him at the same time. 

As of now, with the powers of Visionary, Klein can fully use the Chaos Sea according to his desires. However, he only fully sealed it from the outside world, its corruption completely disappearing. 

The current Chaos Sea looked nowhere near like a black and deathly sea compared to before, it was now filled with transparent waters with golden spots of light floating everywhere. 

This was the Chaos Sea that was affected by Klein's Irregularity. It was now a Sefirot that truly belonged to him, its connection to the Oldest One completely cut off.
