#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 🥺

[shamera]

....so I started another story, and every word is just proof I write purely to amuse myself and distract myself from jonsing for the next chapter of Circle of Inevitability like a junkie.

(But what if Captain Dunn got to see the events of volume 8 of CoI--??)

[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]

The historical projection, Knowledge Emperor Roselle Gustav, that “He” had summoned had betrayed “Him”!

Klein was both surprised and unsurprised by this outcome.

It wasn’t surprising because this was his own doing. The Worms of Spirit in Sefirah Castle had already “Grafted” Roselle’s present state to the concealed state that Klein had met!

Klein be like "oh no! Anyway-" or "hey, so- stop screaming, I'm trying to kill you here- so, listen, you know that buddy of yours? He's mine now. Yoink."

[calekinnieplus]

The Marauder Sequence 0 Error’s ritual was:

To replace someone during “Their” apotheosis ritual!

And Mr. Door’s return seemed to directly trigger “His” apotheosis ritual.

Oh shit. Oh no. Oh nooooo

[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]

The figure inside Sefirah Castle immediately faded away, allowing Klein’s body to become complete so that he could consume the potion in his best condition.

As the lightning lit up the sea once again, Klein raised his right hand and brought the bottle that came from his marionette to his mouth. He gulped down the potion that was as light as air.

SEQUENCE 1, HERE WE COME!! OH MY GOOOOD GUYS.

Klein really took everything by storm once he created an opportunity... heh, better said, Lightning heh. Well done, Leodero lmao
