Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Backlund underground ▇▇▇ meters

Dungeon·Gales Library·Main Library

The dismembered Rhapsody Rama was scattered on the ground. The Sannin in the cockpit had long disappeared along with the black smoke and dust. Only a glowing Beyonder Characteristic was left, gently pulsating in the cockpit.

The unconscious Klein fell quietly into the wreckage of the machine, with black smoke covering his hideous wounds.

The damaged bookshelves and books floated up, and after repairing themselves, they returned neatly to their original positions. The debris and holes on the ground also trembled and repaired themselves. The First World War was declared over, and the library, which had been a battlefield, followed a series of set procedures, unleashed restrictions one by one, and slowly calmed down.

When the entire hall was restored to its original state, the library returned to its original dead silence.

In the silence, Klein's fingers suddenly moved, and then he struggled to get up. As he moved, large clouds of black smoke came out of his mouth.

"...Haha...Finally...I'm back...

"...I'm back...I'm out...

“…Reality…Reality!!

“This is reality!!”

His trembling body began to twitch, and then he started to laugh wildly. A hoarse and piercing voice rushed out of his throat, crushing the silence of the entire library.

“Hahahaha! Reality!! I’m back!!

"You can't lock me up. I told you, you can't lock me up!!"

He used his vocal cords mercilessly, rubbing and squeezing them to make uncomfortable sounds. A mad and chaotic spirituality surged around him, and everything in the library was shaking and trembling.

In the hideous wounds filled with black smoke, the transparent, wriggling worms suddenly froze, then began to struggle violently. Then, clusters of colorful silk threads exploded from the worms' bodies like clusters of fireworks, connecting and winding around each other to repair Klein's body.

The smoke and dust of nothingness permeated Klein's soul, and the uncontrolled pollution was raging in his mind at this moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the mad existence that was [excluded] from reality grasped the special [connection] between "He" and Klein, and drilled through the gaps in the seals, trying to break through the cage between nothingness and reality and return to the world.

Klein finally moved, his crazy aura suddenly surged, and as he jumped upwards, his figure froze in the air.

Threads of various colors and thick structures suddenly appeared from nothingness and tightly wrapped around his body, attempting to drag "Him", a being that should not be here, back into the endless nothingness.

"...Secret! You can't lock me up!!"

Klein roared loudly, dragging the tangled silk thread with him as he leaped upward. In the blink of an eye, everything around him began to twist and spin, like flowing sand, constantly flowing backwards.

He began to sprint upwards, crossing the endless loess and seals, escaping into reality!

At this moment, the world seemed to be reversed. The originally solid and thick stones and loess seemed to have turned into a dream bubble to Klein. His body passed through layers of stones and soil without any hindrance, just like layers of phantoms floating by him.

But those thick lines were so powerful that it was difficult to break free, as if they were growing from the depths of his soul. After a moment of escape, Klein finally failed in the confrontation with the lines, fell out of the shuttle state, and fell heavily in an underground tunnel.

The power of the strings grew stronger and stronger, as if a group of people were pulling on them in the void, trying to exile this untimely fugitive back out of reality.

"…It's you who did this, Mysterious!!

"It's you, it's you, it's you who took everything from me!!

"I won't let you go, Weird!!"

Klein screamed heartbreakingly on the ground, struggling on the ground like a dried fish, but his resistance was in vain.

Is strolled to Klein's head, looked at Klein's face, then walked back and forth in front of him, rubbing his hands anxiously and helplessly. Finally, he made up his mind and squatted down with a look of half regret and half apology.

"We know this is a bit rough, but this is the plan you made with Mr. Klein after all."

These words were completely unable to move Klein's crazy will. His shattered sanity was unable to think effectively about the words of the person in front of him. All that was left was a paranoid and twisted hatred for everything he came into contact with, including everything that existed in this reality.

The powerful force only penetrated into reality a little bit, and the entire Gales Library began to become unstable. Some objects began to flicker like a computer jam, as if they were about to be erased from reality. And under this thick wall that separated the void, the terrifying power was surging.

"I mean, according to your previous will, you shouldn't have returned to reality at this time and at this opportunity in such an embarrassing manner.

"That's right, oh my, you are making such a big noise now, it's really too dangerous! Hush! If you move a little bit forward and are discovered by those Old Gods here, it will be troublesome!

"According to the plan, you'll be back soon, but of course not like this, not so much, I mean, it should be less, like before, just a little bit.

The reality that had been eroded was doing its best to exclude this unknown intruder. The seal and the knot were gradually stripping away this dangerous will that shouldn't exist here from Klein. Klein's restlessness had obviously subsided, but his restless mouth was still swearing obscenities.

Yis was already accustomed to this kind of erratic situation. For this god who was almost out of control and insane, his mental clarity was only occasional, and his nonsense was the norm.

Not only words, but also any information and any operation they release may be meaningless. After crazy crushing and distorted logic, their most stubborn obsessions will also be distorted by the instincts brought by Beyonder characteristics. The so-called reluctance and imprisonment are nothing more than the aggregation of Beyonder characteristics. The so-called relationship and connection are nothing more than maintaining a stable state to prevent the instinct of fighting each other and the disaster caused by excessive aggregation of Beyonder characteristics.

"...Okay, I know you've gone completely crazy now. You may not understand what I'm saying at all, but it doesn't matter... You just need to know that everything is going according to your plan."

Klein stared at Is in front of him, with a crazy fire burning in his eyes. His broken rationality made all the topics he talked about seem meaningless in Is's eyes. Unyielding and unwilling to give up permeated his twisted spirit. He pounced on Is in front of him with his fangs and claws, but he passed through a cloud of intangible black smoke and pounced into nothing.

The Is in front of him was nothing more than a realistic illusion.

Yis turned around, spread his hands and shrugged.

“I’m sorry, this really has nothing to do with me.

"After the Sky Curtain War, you evacuated all of reality and threw yourself into the void to recover from your injuries. That was your own decision."

Eventually, Klein's roars and twitches gradually subsided, and everything returned to silence and peace.

"not now."

Is looked at Klein's face and fell silent again.

"But one day, Father."
