Hearing Amun's words, Caine's heart suddenly sank. Prior to this, he had not been concerned about Amun turning the "Lamp God" — for Amun was a top-tier "con artist," and any promises he made were inherently untrustworthy. The "Lamp God," having once suffered under the previous "Master of Mysteries," was naturally cautious and would respond with the highest level of vigilance to such a "mistake." This was precisely the consequence of a lack of credibility. While deception, fraud, and procrastination could yield short-term gains, long-term success ultimately came from honesty and integrity. Yet now, just after the "Trenzost Yellow Book" had established a rule prohibiting fraud, Amun had made promises and gone unpunished! Moreover, neither Caine nor the "Lamp God" had noticed any exploitation of loopholes on Amun's part. This powerfully demonstrated that Amun's words were genuine, heartfelt, and not a mere performance of fraud. Even the Lamp God can, through his own persona and qualities, subtly warp this statement—transforming "I can promise" into "I promise"—making Amun unable to back out, and subjecting him to harm from the old layers' rules should he do so. This has made Caine suspect whether the rule stating "fraud is prohibited here" was quietly shaped by Amun as he guided the creation of the "Trenzalore Copper Book," or whether the Lamp God deliberately orchestrated it—to have every potential future Master of Mysteries pledge to return him to the stars. To the Lamp God, this transaction is a sure win, since Caine already owes him a promise. In other circumstances, Caine would still have time and opportunity to engage with the Lamp God, rebuild trust, and resolve these issues. But now, Amun's threat looms close, leaving him no room to address these concerns. If he chooses to continue believing in the "God of Light," then Caine effectively places his own life into the hands of this outer god, allowing the latter to manipulate him at will—during the ensuing battle, as long as the "God of Light" establishes rules through the "Trenzalore Copper Book" that appear reasonable on the surface but are subtly favorable to Amun, Caine, already in a severe disadvantage, will swiftly fall, with no chance to reverse the situation. In an instant of thought, Caine made his decision. A semi-transparent, deep-colored cloak materialized instantly around him, and a strange, distorted mask covered his face. "The Fool!" Waves of invisible energy radiated from within him, spreading out and immediately enveloping the "God of Light," the "Trenzalore Copper Book," the entire wilderness, and Amun itself. The Power of "Blind Foolishness"! The single spectacles of Amon momentarily lost their luster, as though he had lost his sight, his gaze growing dull and fixed; the "Trenzost Yellow Copper Book" wrote new statutes at a noticeably slower pace, as if it needed a full minute—or even several hours—to decide what rule to establish next; the "Lamp God"’s faint, blurred golden form trembled and then abruptly retracted into the golden lamp-shaped divine light, as though retreating from something, or simply responding to instinct. Seizing this opportunity, Caine worked to detach himself from the "Source Citadel" while preparing to fuse himself with something else. As his consciousness began to sink, the single spectacle crafted from crystal appeared at the edge of the "Source Citadel," blocking his path. Even with a temporary dip in intelligence, Amon seemed to remember to prevent Caine from leaving the "Source Citadel." His eyes swiftly regained their clarity, still tinged with a deep, subtle black. His lips began to part, spreading out in an uncontrollable smile. "I've inscribed this matter into my instinct—this is a proven way to counteract 'blind ignorance'." It was clear once again that He had deceived the rules, deceived Himself, making his instinct believe it was exactly what He had intended. The very next moment, the surrounding void contracted around the real sun, and everything else either shattered or vaporized, leaving only the "Wishing Lamp" and the "Trenzost Bronze Scroll" struggling to remain intact amidst the flames, unharmed. Klein had vanished entirely. He had fused himself with the star—though not in a physical sense, only conceptually. Otherwise, given the "Fool's" notably lower defensive capabilities compared to most Sequence 0 entities, and his relatively fragile body, he would have been instantly consumed by the actual star and perished on the spot. The "Fool" is an exceptionally specialized deity—capable of destroying a star, yet unable to directly confront one. His strengths and weaknesses are equally pronounced. Moreover, ordinarily, concepts themselves cannot directly influence the surrounding environment or harm enemies—merely writing words like "large mass, strong gravity, high temperature, intense heat, fusion" does not produce such effects. Yet Mr. Kline, the "Fool," wields the power of "deception." He causes the surrounding environment to undergo corresponding transformations as if responding to the concept of a star! This is not only a profound transformation, but also a clear act of deception. Under the close radiance of the star-like concept, Amun’s body—wearing his pointed hat and classical black robe—is already being completely incinerated and beginning to vaporize. At this moment, his form momentarily distorts, instantly glowing with brilliant starlight, becoming profoundly ethereal, as though transforming into a "stellar gateway." In this instant, Amun no longer appears as a solid, tangible being, but rather as a composite of symbols—wandering, a passage between star realms, a key, a door. This is the Traveler's ability to journey between different planets and worlds through the Stellar Realm—by transforming themselves into symbolic forms, they effectively harness the power of the Realm. At the Sequence 0 "Gate" stage, this ability evolves into conceptualization. Amun transformed himself into a conceptual being, thereby evading the damage inflicted by the star. Suddenly, a figure emerged behind him—none other than Klein, dressed in a windbreaker and a hat. At the same moment, Amun's thoughts slowed slightly. Klein had seized upon Amun's "spiritual thread." Leveraging the chaos brought by the star, Klein dissolved his own connections to the relevant concepts and subtly "grafted" the two locations together, arriving behind Amun. Originally, without this conceptual "restructuring," the influence of the star on its surrounding environment would have ceased immediately. But Klein "foiled" time, allowing the effects of the first two seconds to persist into the present, thus deceiving Amun. If possible, Klein now most desires to deepen his control over Amun's "spiritual thread," transforming Him into his own personal companion. Yet he is well aware that the likelihood of achieving this success under current circumstances is extremely low: on one hand, Amun can endure damage and reclaim the "spiritual thread"; on the other, He might leverage the connection established through the "spiritual thread" to create a "bug," reversing the influence and "hosting" Klein himself. Until he is absolutely certain, Klein does not wish to appear hasty in his actions. His primary objective in grasping Amun's "spiritual thread" is to induce a certain mental sluggishness in the latter. This is the manifestation of the "Deception" power during its subtle, insidious phase. Given Kleyn's current condition, he naturally prefers this lower-level approach that yields tangible results—less taxing on him and less likely to destabilize his mental equilibrium than directly invoking the "Deception" power. At this very moment, his adversaries are not only Amun, but also the "Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Tian Zun" within him. Of course, Amun is likewise in the same situation; once Amun's partial madness is no longer suppressed, the "Tian Zun" will already have revived within Him. After briefly disrupting Amun's thoughts, Caine had three options: first, to seize this opportunity and break free from "the Source Citadel," though he was uncertain whether Amun's instincts were still active and actively preventing his departure; second, to summon images from the historical fissures, but this proved largely ineffective—since the angelic beings had already demonstrated minimal impact in this divine conflict, and might even be unable to withstand Amun's gaze; furthermore, even their historical projections, though Caine hoped they could convey messages, lacked sufficient value, as no other deities could enter "the Source Citadel" to offer assistance. The third option—seizing this moment to exert a meaningful and tangible influence upon Amun's true form—was the one Caine chose without hesitation. He intends to seamlessly integrate Amun with the "Source Citadel" and the luminous gate streaked with deep blue light. Klein believes Amun's half-mad state isn't severe enough—merely that he talks excessively, sometimes missing the right moments. He wants him even more frenzied. Once Amun and the "Source Citadel" complete their "restructuring," the "Heavenly Sovereign" consciousness within Amun will grow significantly stronger, and his mental disarray will intensify markedly. As a result, Amun will lack sufficient rationality to guide his actions, instead responding more instinctively than through deliberate thought. For a "Master of Deception" of the "Error" kind, this would be a fatal blow. Of course, this "integration" will last only for a single second. Beyond that duration, Klein might no longer be facing Amun—but rather, the "Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Heavenly Sovereign." By then, the other party will undoubtedly accept the grand gift of "The Source Fortress" with open arms, triumphing over the single-path Sequence 0 "The Fool" with the combined strength of Source Quality, two unique attributes, and the exceptional nature of its Personhood. Originally, Klein could have leveraged the "Deception" power to reduce Amun's intelligence, but first, his current condition limits his ability to sustain such high-level power over an extended period, and second, as a true god of dual pathways, Amun, who holds numerous powers, inherently experiences a limited duration for the "Blindly Stupid" effect—thus, Klein is forced to take the risk of employing this "grafting" strategy. The madness will accompany Amun until he finds a new equilibrium or encounters the ideal "psychologist." In an instant, as Klein's face again reveals that semi-transparent, cold mask, a peculiar luminous gateway—tinged with hints of dark green—emerges upon Amun's form. "The Source Fortress."
