Chapter 320: Countdown to Klein's Observation

'Roselle? Emperor Roselle, fellow transmigrator... Didn't he already fall? Could it be he was resurrected, or was his death faked?'

'Bernadette... Isn't she Roselle's eldest daughter?'

Klein was utterly dumbfounded at this moment. He never expected the Angel of Secrets to drop such a bombshell.

"Roselle? He's still alive?!" Lynn, who was beside him, suddenly turned around, his expression first surprised, then tightened his fist as if remembering something, and asked the Angel of Secrets, "What Sequence is he now?"

"If you intend to vent your anger on him, I suggest you reconsider. Although Roselle is in a poor state, he is still considered a Sequence 0." The Angel of Secrets glanced at Lynn, who was acting dramatic, and said slowly.

Lynn's expression stiffened immediately, then he pursed his lips and said stubbornly, "Huh, just wait, Sequence 0? I'll become a Sequence 0 someday too."

Hearing this, Klein couldn't help but glance at his companion, not knowing how to comment. He could only shake his head with a wry smile.

He then looked at the Angel of Secrets and asked, "What's the situation exactly? Can you explain?"

"Let me think about what I can tell you..." The Angel of Secrets pondered for a few seconds before saying, "In simple terms, Roselle did indeed fall back then. However, because he had already ascended to Black Emperor before his fall, he did not completely die due to the special characteristics of the Black Emperor. He remained in a state where he could be revived at any moment."

"Then why hasn't he revived until now?" Klein was both shocked and curious.

"Roselle hasn't revived because he is corrupted by an evil god."

The Angel of Secrets explained slowly, adopting the same explanation given to Bernadette, "If Roselle were to revive before the corruption is removed, he would become a puppet of the evil god. You should understand the disaster a mad god could bring."

"Ugh..." Klein couldn't help but gasp, contributing to global warming, and asked urgently, "Has he gotten rid of the corruption?"

"No, but with my help, he has temporarily suppressed the corruption and regained his clarity." The Angel of Secrets shook his head, sighed, and said, "The evil god that corrupted Roselle is someone you are quite familiar with."

"Ah?" Klein was stunned, immediately thinking of Bethel, who was also corrupted by an evil god, and uncertainly asked, "Could it be the Primordial Moon again?"

"Indeed, it's her. Strictly speaking, Roselle's corruption by the Primordial Moon is also somewhat related to Bethel. The Mr. Door Roselle encountered was always Bethel's corrupted personality." Lynn did not hide the matter and explained straightforwardly through the Angel of Secrets.

"I remember Roselle seemed to have encountered Mr. Door very early on... Could he have been corrupted back then?" Klein immediately recalled the contents of Roselle's diary and asked uncertainly.

"Roselle did encounter initial corruption at that time, but it wasn't severe. Later, as you can guess, under the guidance of Bethel's corrupted personality, Roselle gradually fell into the Primordial Moon's trap and became deeply corrupted. Even after becoming Sequence 0, he couldn't escape and could only remain in a state between life and death."

The Angel of Secrets said this with a slightly more serious expression, looking at Klein and said, "There are many evil gods in this world, and among them, the Primordial Moon is one of the most evil and powerful. If you encounter anything related to her in the future, do not act recklessly. It's best to contact me immediately to avoid unnecessary accidents."

"I understand." Klein nodded solemnly, raising his vigilance and dread towards the Primordial Moon to the highest level.

Both Mr. Door and Emperor Roselle had fallen to this evil god, corrupted and turned into puppets. Klein did not believe that as a Sequence Seven, he could fight against such a force. If he encountered any related matters, he would immediately seek the Angel of Secrets' help to avoid repeating their tragedies.

However... Klein looked at the Angel of Secrets and asked with some doubt and concern, "This evil god is so dangerous, are you... okay?"

Although he knew Lynn could handle a Sequence 0, the Primordial Moon, who could corrupt and control a Sequence 0 emperor, was evidently no pushover. Klein was genuinely worried about the Angel of Secrets' safety.

"Yeah, are you okay? You're not corrupted by the Primordial Moon too, are you?" Lynn echoed, looking worried.

"Don't worry. Although I can't deal with her for now, she can't deal with me either." The Angel of Secrets smiled and reassured them, "This isn't something you need to worry about right now. I just wanted to give you a heads-up to prevent unexpected situations."

Hearing this, Klein felt slightly relieved and finally had a rough estimate of the Angel of Secrets' strength.

Clearly able to counter the Primordial Moon, the Angel of Secrets was very strong, though not overwhelmingly so. However, he should be among the strongest of the Sequence 0.

Klein then thought of something else and asked, "Since you said Roselle hasn't revived, how will he meet his daughter? In that special state between life and death?"

"Roselle indeed hasn't revived, and he won't meet his daughter in the real world." The Angel of Secrets explained simply, then smiled more brightly and said slowly, "They will reunite in a dream, in a dream space I created."

"A dream?" Klein was taken aback, but after thinking it over, it seemed quite normal.

Roselle's state was clearly not good and possibly very dangerous. Even with the help of the Angel of Secrets to suppress the corruption, it couldn't be said to be 100% safe. In such a situation, he was obviously not suited to meet his daughter in reality. Meeting in a dream created by the Angel of Secrets was indeed relatively safer.

After all, there were methods in this world to keep someone awake in a dream, and reuniting in a dream wasn't too unimaginable.

'In some sense, it matched the Mysticism theme of this world...' Klein thought to himself, then suddenly heard the Angel of Secrets chuckle softly, making him frown and ask, "What's wrong?"
