Mysterious... The last time克莱恩 heard this title was from the consciousness of the "True Protagonists" of the Downfall, and the time before that was the ancient solar deity, the Maker of the Silver City. In a certain sense, these two can be considered equivalent: the True Protagonist is equivalent to the ancient solar deity—the "Evil Spirit" version of the solar deity after the personality of Salsir was reclaimed. Yet, unlike before, when he heard this title,克莱恩 did not feel stunned, disoriented, or have his teeth ache with anticipation. His sensation was simply like seeing a stone that had hung suspended for a long time finally settle to the ground. Of course, he wasn't entirely composed—some degree of surprise, astonishment, and disbelief was still unavoidable, thanks to the ancient dragon, Aeryhorg's statement: "Adam doesn't necessarily have to be Adam." This had allowed him to consider various possibilities and mentally prepare himself. Here we are again, mysterious... Is Adam equivalent to the ancient solar deity? Or is it the ancient solar deity's resurrection, brought forth by its own hands? He knew this, yet still wished to resurrect his father—thus earning the Medici label of "obsessive"? A cascade of thoughts flashed through Caine's mind, offering a fresh understanding of an earlier event: It now made sense why Adam had never promoted his own doctrines, merely spreading the legacy of the ancient Sun God! Caine had initially thought this was due to the "visionary" being sufficiently unique, capable of creating a substantial number of seemingly authentic followers as anchors, without needing to actively gather faith. Now, however, he realized this might have been only one of several reasons. After a moment of silence, Caine gazed into Adam's clear, unclouded eyes and asked: "Are you the ancient Sun God?" Adam maintained his warm, priestly smile and spoke with an encouraging tone: "Don't you think I'm the most distinctive among the Eight Archangels? After reviewing the second 'Board of Desecration' regarding the Old Days, you should now clearly see this." Indeed... Caine nodded, indicating it was clear: "Among the five Angel Kings associated with 'omniscience' and 'omnipotence,' you are the only one who embodies 'uniqueness.' According to Klein's current knowledge of mysticism, during the lifetime of the Silver City's Maker, the states of the Eight Archangels were as follows: "The Dark Angel" Sathelir had absorbed two sequences of the "The Empress" path and held the first Tablet of Desecration, enabling partial access to the forces of the "Chaos Sea," thus making him a Sub-Prince of Heaven, the Divine Left Hand, and the foremost among the Archangels; "The Pure White Angel" Osecus had absorbed two sequences of the "The Sun" path; "The Wind Angel" Leodros, "The Wisdom Angel" Herabergen, and "The Fate Angel" Urolius each possessed two exceptional traits from their respective paths; "The Time Angel" Amen and "The Red Angel" Medici each held the unique quality of their own path plus one corresponding sequence of exceptional traits; "The Imaginal Angel" Adam held the unique quality of the "The Observer" path, plus one or two sequences of exceptional traits. At first glance, this seems plausible, but upon closer reflection, it raises some questions. "The Angel of Time," Amun, and "The Red Angel," Medici, do not belong to the Five Paths of Omniscience and Omnipotence. It is entirely reasonable that the ancient Sun God granted them their uniqueness through various means. However, Adam is different—being a "Theurer" (the Idealist), he belongs to one of the Five Paths of Omniscience and Omnipotence, and thus his uniqueness is fundamental to the ancient Sun God's very foundation as one of the pillars of the Old Days. In other words, this uniqueness is equivalent to one of the three unique attributes of a Sequence-0 entity, specifically one of the Sequence-1 exceptional traits. How could such a foundational element be arbitrarily separated? After all, Sathelir, as the Deputy King and the Left Hand of Heaven, does not possess the uniqueness of the "The Inverted One" path, let alone the "Wind Angel" Leodoro, the "Wisdom Angel" Heraburg, or the "Pure White Angel" Osecurus. Klein initially thought the ancient sun god had sensed the resurgence of the "Primordial" and had deliberately chosen to produce a child, thus separating one of the Five Uniques, deliberately diminishing his own status to counteract the encroaching erosion and contamination. This was likely also the perspective of other gods and angelic kings at that time. It wasn't until he heard Erihorg's statement—“Adam doesn't necessarily have to be Adam”—that Klein began to suspect a deeper secret, forming several hypotheses. After witnessing the final lines of the second "Board of Desecration," he felt even more puzzled, because the Uniques were one of the foundational pillars of the Old Days. If the Source was the foundation, then the Uniques were like the load-bearing columns—removing any one of them would cause significant structural issues. If the ancient sun god wished to proactively reduce his own status, a safer course would have been to separate one of the Sequence 1 extraordinary traits, rather than one of the Uniques. Adam, dressed in simple white robes and adorned with dense golden beard, took slow, steady steps toward Caine, turned to face the "Profaned Tablet," and said: "The 'Idealist' possesses a unique characteristic. Normally, a true Sequence-0 being consists of 'Uniqueness' combined with three Sequence-1 exceptional traits; if any one of these is missing, the entity is merely a King of Angels, not a true God. However, the 'Idealist' may, after attaining Sequence-0 status, separate two of its Sequence-1 exceptional traits and replace them with corresponding traits born of 'Idealization.' The things idealized by the 'Idealist' become sufficiently real, functioning perfectly within the framework of 'Uniqueness' plus one Sequence-1 exceptional trait—thus preserving the 'Idealist's' status and maintaining its power unimpaired." "The two genuine sequences separated possess an extraordinary quality: they can unite with a specific identity of their own, or with a creature imagined by them, thereby becoming 'authors,' free to act, and at times, through certain means or media, transform back into their original essence. As for the 'Omni-Knowing, Omni-Powerful,' it is sufficient to create a unique existence—somewhere between reality and fantasy—to sustain its own state, as long as this does not exceed necessary limits. Is that precisely the relationship between the 'Imaginative Dragon' Angerwied and His child, the 'Dream-Draining Dragon' AlerSuohed? I once believed the paths of the 'Seer' and the 'Theif' to be the most enigmatic. Now I see that even they fall short of the 'Audience'—ah, one must indeed be cautious of the Audience. Klein has finally resolved a major mystery in his mind and now understands why the 'Imaginative Dragon' Angerwied arranged for the feather pen '0–08' to meet the 'Grosel Travels.'" Once they meet, the quill born from the feathers of Alethuod, the Dragon of Dreams, awakens, transforming into the once-lesser, idealized Dragon Anguiveld. Then, this revived ancient deity will indirectly harness the negative aspects of its own personality sealed behind the Bronze Gate, thereby summoning the power of the Chaos Sea and instantly attaining the rank of the highest angelic king beneath the true gods. With this foundation, it gains the opportunity to compete with Adam for the position of the Idealist and achieve a complete resurrection. In comparison, the resurrection of the Black Emperor is simpler, more direct, and more decisive. Klein nodded slightly. "What is the relationship between the Dragon of Ideals and the Dragon of Dreams?" Adam sat down, beside Klein. "Yes. However, the Dragon of Ideals itself has been eroded and exhibits certain characteristics of other entities, so its condition is not optimal—it can only extract one 'writer' to stabilize itself, or else it will immediately lose control. Klein didn't attend to Adam beside him, but likewise gazed at the second "Defiled Stone" ahead, saying: "What's the difference between this and the duplicate of the 'Theft'?" "If Amun can become 'Error,' he can likewise create at least two Sequence 1 duplicates." Adam slightly inclined his body, offering a simple explanation: "The duplicate and the original remain one whole, merely located in different places." In other words, the Sequence 1 conceived purely through imagination has become completely separated from the original and can be regarded as a distinct individual—only awakened through a specific means or via certain mediums? Klein asked thoughtfully, "Did you awaken as a 'Dreamer'?" "No," Adam replied, gazing steadily ahead with a gentle expression, "when I fell and 'Reality' emerged." Klein was quite astonished, asking, "Was there no one who doubted this?" "If the gods knew that the ancient sun god had already 'revived' within Adam, the fourth age's history would likely have been one of relentless campaigns against the Solomon Empire, the Twilight Monks, and the family of Amen." Adam said calmly. "Besides the 'true' ones who are certain, perhaps only the Night might question it to some extent." "I've carefully disguised myself as a fanatic—a fanatic yearning for my father to awaken within me. For an angelic king who arrived through the path of the visionary, this is no great feat." "As for Medici..." Klein suddenly felt a deep sympathy for the 'Red Angel.' Thinking of this, he glanced again at the blood-stained cross-pine stake embedded in his chest, and found himself more sympathetic than ever. Adam spoke quietly: "This is a necessary sacrifice." "Do you think, then, that He remained undetected for so many years after becoming a malevolent spirit?" Klein paused for a moment, then asked: "Do you intend for me to simply wait here?" "You could also choose to leave this church of bones, but Chalatu awaits you at the door. Given your current condition, you can only become His secret vessel." Adam spoke without any emotional fluctuation. Kieran fell silent and re-read the remaining content of the second 'Board of Desecration.' Bernadette held the lamp, bowed slightly, and recited a sacred name: "the fool out of this age; the mysterious sovereign above the gray mist; the King of Good Fortune, of yellow and black..."
