#lotm volume 7

[calekinnieplus]

In short, it’s all Roselle’s fault! Klein heaved a sigh of relief as he couldn’t help but criticize the Emperor.

I'm always a fan of Klein dunking on people lmao

[tooselfaware]

I knew the last 2 volumes are gonna be quick. But damn. Things just kept escalating toward the end.

I knew Verdu was trouble. I kept yelling at my phone screen, "Just zap Verdu!"

And now Sequence 1 Klein has to stop Sequence 0 Amon from being LOTM.

Alger and his anxiety were still weaving theories even though he's gonna die that moment. He was saved tho.

Roselle came in clutch during the Zaratul fight 🥺

[nemurenaivoron]

finished first volume of CoI and still appalled that not only the author left so many questions unanswered, he actually had the audacity to list them all himself in form of a report within the book itself

What was that owl about, Cuttlefish? Tell me. Tell me, goddammit

[juni413]

Adam turned “His” head and said with clear eyes, “He was too tired. He wanted rest and freedom, even if it was only for a few seconds.”

Klein gaped, not knowing how to respond.

“Why didn’t you address him as Gehrman Sparrow, but refer to him as ‘that marionette’?” Adam asked warmly, as though “He” was trying to straighten out the thoughts of a member of “His” congregation.

Klein turned his head to look at “Him,” and suddenly said with a smile, “I’m Gehrman Sparrow. Gehrman Sparrow is a part of me. If I separate them, even if I can escape your divine kingdom, it will be difficult for me to avert the fate of losing control.”

Klein be like "I don't have time for an existential crisis rn bro"

Klein walked through the cemetery and found a tombstone with the help of his spirituality.

The name on the tombstone wrote:

“Welch McGovern.”

This was the original Klein’s university schoolmate. As he had bought the Antigonus family’s notebook, he had mysteriously died in Tingen. This had indirectly caused Zhou Mingrui to “transmigrate.”

Welch McGovern’s father was a banker in Constant City. He had spent money to bring his son’s corpse back to his hometown and buried it in this cemetery.

Klein stared at the photo on the tombstone for a few seconds. He bent down and placed the bouquet of white flowers in his hand in front of Welch’s grave.

Awww... this whole thing started with those three. Klein, Welch, and Naya. Haaaaa a lot has happened since then

I play the seven-stringed guitar by the fountain in the municipal square. I use my knife and fork to slice the steak. In the cathedral, I describe the teachings of the Goddess to the believers. I reach out my right hand and leave the carriage with the help of a gentleman. I get the new dress I had been eyeing for so long, and I can’t wait to change into it. I stride forward with my four legs as I’m being chased by a child. I laugh loudly as I totter about and play with a dog…

Suddenly, we tremble. We look up into the sky and see illusory, thin lines drilling out from our bodies. They extend to an infinite height, extending beyond the grayish-white fog. They extend into an ancient palace and land in the hands of a tall figure shrouded in fog.

Oh my god, this chapter was amazing

The constant switch of POV, of different lives and emotions, but in the end... it's Klein. It's all Klein.

During this period of time, Klein’s state had always been very strange, as though he had completely transformed into thousands of lives. Every clone had their own will, thoughts, knowledge, and fate.

However, above this collective consciousness was a primary consciousness that held control. It constantly suffered all kinds of attacks, as though it could be assimilated by the sea of consciousness that had been formed autonomously at any moment. However, it eventually withstood the barrage of attacks, allowing Klein to maintain a certain level of clarity.

How mentally strong must you be to withstand the collective consciousness of around 5000 people?? Absolutely INSANE

His true body had been lying underground in Saint Arianna Cathedral. His consciousness would occasionally rise and enter Sefirah Castle, and occasionally sink into his body.

All the scenes that the marionette clones experienced constantly flashed in his mind like a dream formed from large amounts of fragments.

Holy fucking shit, I don't have the words to properly describe this chapter.

Like? No big battle, no big revelation, nothing That big, but for some reason, this chapter is so COOL!

The interesting format aside (First Person POV to properly showcase the lives, ayo), thanks to the juxtaposition of the fake lives of Klein’s marionettes and the Tarot Gathering where Klein’s primary consciousness resides, I was shook.

KLEIN IS HANDLING ALL THAT. Those incredibly diverse and complicated lives, all of them with layers and backstories. I mean, we already knew that's the ritual, but actually seeing it is insane.

I love this chapter. A lot.

Looking away from the paper in front of him, Derrick deliberated and said, “We have already built the temple and cathedral meant for Mr. Fool. We wish to proselytize to various cities in the archipelago. What do we need to pay attention to?”

Alger frowned slightly and said, “Have you written a Holy Bible? Have you designed the Order of Mass and prayer details?”

“Yes.” Derrick nodded heavily.

LMAO THE CHURCH OF THE FOOL IS BEING BORN

[calekinnieplus]

“How much of my diary did you read?”

If the atmosphere wasn’t that heavy and sorrowful, Klein would definitely find it irresistible to reply with “the taste of a Demoness ain’t bad” as a way to tease his fellow Earthling.

Finally, he replied calmly, “Plenty.”

LMAO you lil shit hehe

[calekinnieplus]

Klein gently clapped his hands and smiled.

HE'S SO CUTE

[calekinnieplus]

There was clearly no sky or land here, but the figure seemed to come from the crimson moon or the stars in the sky.

“She” was wearing a long, layered black dress that didn’t seem complicated at all. It was adorned with countless resplendent lights, as though the starry night sky had been draped upon it.

“Her” head was indistinct and difficult to discern. He could only confirm that it was a female.

“Long time no see,” the figure said gently before Klein spoke.

Evernight!!! EVERNIGHT GODDESS!!!

[calekinnieplus]

The sea split apart, and a path appeared. It led straight to the spot which was stained with the ancient sun god’s blood. It led straight to the Giant King’s Court’s projection—the Forsaken Land of the Gods.

In the depths of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, at the top of a mountain peak, there was a huge cross erected, and there was an indistinct figure hanging upside down on it.

Wait wait wait, we're done with volume 7?? Already??? Huh????????

Oh my god, what a volume. Klein is a Sequence 1 now! My goodness... he's amazing. This has been a wonderful journey.

ONWARDS, MY FRIENDS! ONTO VOLUME 8! THE FINAL VOLUME OF BOOK 1 BDJDJSJSJS

[calekinnieplus]

Two seconds later, the reassembly process was completed. Klein, who was floating in the depths of the spirit world, opened his eyes. His pupils were dark, without any light.

He had already advanced to Sequence 1 and became an Attendant of Mysteries.

GO KLEIN, GO! GO KLEIN, GO!!

[calekinnieplus]

At that moment, dense, illusory Spirit Body Threads suddenly floated up from the rigid Utopian marionettes into an infinitely high height away.

They instantly came to life and turned around, looking at Zaratul and “His” historical projections.

The pairs of eyes sparkled in the darkness.

At the same time, a huge shadow descended from the faint grayish-white fog, enveloping the entirety of Utopia.

WE'RE BACK, BABY!! BEJSJZJSJSJ YOOOOO

[calekinnieplus]

Genie immediately said with a smile, “Indeed, you want to make use of the terrible outcome from making a third wish to deal with your current predicament. Not bad, this is something that stems from my level. I will satisfy your wish and let you die in pain.”

Klein’s voice sounded again:

“The second wish: Let my Utopia give rise to a corresponding region in the spirit world. This doesn’t involve the advancement of a Sequence, nor does it have anything to do with higher-level Beyonder characteristics. You can definitely do it.”

Genie’s light-gold figure wavered before “He” said with a smile, “Your wish will be granted.”

SMART! HE'S A SMART BOY! LOOK AT THAT! heheheh amazing

[calekinnieplus]

“In this universe, there is a hidden fourth pillar. It represents everything, including the end of the Great Old Ones and the universe itself. It corresponds to the two sefirot—River of Eternal Darkness and City of Calamity.

“Simply put, if Evernight can become an Eternal Darkness, Singularity of All, Space-Time-in-One, ‘She’ can further occupy the two pathways of Demoness and Red Priest, encompassing the City of Calamity, and becoming the true fourth pillar. However, when that happens, ‘She’ will either enter a deep sleep, be passively split apart, or it will cause the entire Universe, including “Her” and us, to be annihilated, starting everything all over again.”

I wonder if "in this universe" implies the existence of the multiverse...

Not only that, but "starting everything all over again"... this happened before? A continuous loop of converging and splitting until the destruction of the universe is reached. That's... huge
