As the figure of Caine before Amun transformed into the "Fool" card, the entire room instantly shrunk, revealing its original form—a slightly corroded iron cigarette box infused with the essence of the "Astral Citadel." Caine's figure materialized mid-air, grasping the vessel containing both the "Fool" card and Amun's true form, and forcefully closing it as the magnificent realm of the "Fool" collapsed and the grand palace reemerged. He hadn't expected that a single object would suffice to seal Amun, who held the authority over the "Threshold" path; he merely sought time, aiming to find an opportunity to expel Amun from the "Astral Citadel" and regain the initiative. Yet at that very moment, Caine in the black coat paused. With his other hand, he reached into the void, retrieved a single crystal pair of glasses, and brought them close to his right eye. Behind him, Amun emerged swiftly, his pointed soft hat and classical black robe flowing, his eyes dark and wild with laughter. "When did you begin to feel that I'm not useful?" His words had barely finished when the form of Klein who had been 'hosted' began to thin rapidly, transforming into a crude paper figure. Klein, cautious by nature, had not relied on his physical form but instead on a paper double connected through the 'spirit thread.' He was well aware that in his struggle against Amun, he could not afford to make any mistakes—once a misstep occurred, under the pressure of the 'bug,' recovery would be exceedingly difficult. Amun, seemingly unimpressed by the transformation of his prey into a paper figure, merely lifted his hand and gently touched the single lens of his crystal spectacles. At the far end of the grand palace, Klein, dressed in a hat and a wind coat, stepped out unexpectedly from the hidden presence inherent to the 'Fool.' He lifted his right hand heavily, struggling to reach into the void and pluck out a single lens crafted from crystal, gradually bringing it closer to his right eye, inch by inch. Throughout this process, Caine's expression was filled with resistance, twisted and strained, as though he could no longer control his own hands. Amon laughed half-crazed, half-calmed, saying: "You can have a paper figure stand in for you, or have the paper figure take your place. 'Being parasitized' means you are also parasitized. Everything is relative—there are always flaws. No extraordinary ability is beyond being overcome or adapted to in any given situation." By establishing the connection between the paper figure and his own form, Amon deliberately introduced a "bug." Though Amon appeared half-mad, his speech flowing uncontrollably, this did not diminish His relentless effort to erode Caine, steadily deepening the parasitism, until Caine finally wore the single lens and became fully transformed into Amon. At that moment, Cline's body suddenly collapsed—voluntarily. It fragmented into countless translucent, writhing worms that drifted in every direction. Among these "spirit worms," several "time worms" with twelve segments were embedded. Strictly speaking, even such small organisms as the "spirit worms" could be forcibly "hosted" by Amun's "time worms," but during Cline's fragmentation, he had deliberately employed his "Deception" power, blurring the sequence of time and rendering the several "time worms" momentarily "dull-minded." As a result, they only split off at the very end and failed to keep pace with the main body, missing their host targets. At the same time, oil paintings depicting various eyes hung on the four walls. Without making any special effort, Amun simply glanced at them and immediately understood that each of the four doors corresponded to a distinct effect—primarily designed to delay his actions and create sufficient time for subsequent preparations. The gentleman known as "the Error" gave a subtle upward curve to his lips and directed his gaze downward. Then, he extended his right arm and spread his fingers. Instantly, a spectral door appeared on the thick, pale-yellow carpet. This door swiftly moved for a brief second before settling and opening silently. Yet, as this spectral door opened, the doors around the room unexpectedly responded in unison, emitting creaking sounds and opening as well! At the same moment, in a vast, dark wilderness, within a towering shadow spire that seemed to reach into the sky, Caine was holding the "Lamp of Wishes" and successfully removing the "Deception" effect granted by the "Trenzalore Brass Book." The wick of the "Lamp of Wishes" flared to life, spilling out a thick, pale golden light. This light soon coalesced into a distorted, blurred figure. The most restrained of an extraordinary being is invariably a stronger counterpart on the same path, of a higher level. Thus, Celine's current strategy is to leverage the stature of the "Lamp God" in order to better utilize the "Trenzostor Brass Book." — Without the influence of the "Lamp God," the rules established by the "Trenzostor Brass Book" would certainly not favor Celine; instead, they would uniformly constrain all entities beyond itself. As the faint, golden silhouette of the "Lamp God" solidified, the "Trenzostor Brass Book" swiftly flipped to its writable second half, its pages resonating with the sound of metal clinking. Without a single pause, new provisions appeared on the brass pages: "Theft is hereby prohibited here!" According to Klein's idea, the most suitable clause at this moment should be "theft is not permitted here," since the first clause is of a legal nature—should someone commit theft, it would be unable to prevent it in advance, only imposing penalties afterward. The initial penalty for theft would necessarily be mild, something that the Ammon communities could easily bear. In contrast, the second clause directly prevents such behavior from occurring at all, making theft impossible. However, the "Trenzost Copper Book" currently cannot establish such a provision; it must wait until it has developed a sufficient number and density of clauses, and until it awakens to a certain degree of consciousness, before it can achieve this. Previously, the "Lamp God" managed to enforce such provisions only through its close relationship with the "Trenzost Copper Book," leveraging its high status and making every effort. At present, however, it is already weakened and no longer capable of undertaking such actions. Right now, Cline can only hope to delay as long as possible, allowing the "Trenzost Bronze Book" to establish enough well-defined rules specifically targeting Amun, to align with its own power of deception. At this moment, within the chamber that has trapped Amun, as the ethereal doors on the ground open, the real doors around them begin to tremble and crack. This will produce a variety of unforeseen effects. Suddenly, a bell sound emerges, as though coming from an infinite distance. Amun, at some point, has transformed into an ancient, weathered stone wall clock, and the second hand, constructed by the "Clockworms," halts abruptly. Ding! As the bell echoes, everything within the room becomes strangely still—every object, including the four doors—comes to a halt. The only exception is Amun, who reverts to his form wearing a pointed soft hat and a classical black robe, smiling calmly and slowly lifting his left hand, firmly grasping five fingers. The next instant, the strange stillness broke—the four real doors that had been about to open slammed shut with a loud clang, leaving not a single crack. Amun's form followed, descending through the unsealed portal of the illusionary gate embedded in the ground. Having just left the room this way, He found himself in a vast, black wilderness, with a towering shadowed spire rising into the sky in the distance. Inside the spire, the "Trenzost Copper Book" now before Caine had established a second rule: "Fraud is prohibited here!" Though Amun could not see this unfolding, He sensed it clearly—after all, a high-being who delighted in the art of deception would surely perceive shifts at the level of rules, otherwise He would never have pinpointed the flaw. Immediately, He raised His hand and adjusted the single-lens glasses resting within the groove of His right eye socket. The radiant, pure light emanating from the single-crystal lens of the spectacles surged forth, illuminating the entire wilderness and rendering every hidden corner invisible. This was the "Eternal Day" that He had previously given to Caine and then reclaimed from Caine's "essence." Under this light, the towering structure woven from shadow gradually dissolved, while Caine floated in midair, one hand holding the "Lamp of Wishes" and the other cradling the "Staff of Stars," with the open "Trenzostor Copper Book" spread before him. Amun then extended his right hand—previously used to support the spectacles—reaching across the distance to grasp Caine's "projection" firmly within his palm. Behind him, the shadow cast by Amun in the "Eternal Day" environment grew progressively fainter, subtly twisting as if alive. Without a single sound, Amun began to "seize" Caine's extraordinary abilities. He did not deliberately seek to deceive Caine's authority, but instead chose a random approach—an action that significantly enhanced the likelihood of success. Yet, after a flash of light, the only thing that fell into His hands was a simple paper figure. "Grafting!" Crack! The shadow behind Amen was struck by an invisible lash, yet He himself remained unharmed. He had created an error—replacing Himself with His shadow. Then, Amen laughed, his voice echoing in Caine's ears: "The Lamp God, I can also promise to return you to the stars. Look—since I have not been penalized, it proves I am not deceiving you."
