Chapter 1053: Chapter 561: Capricious Joker, Byron’s Downfall_4
It will entice humans to wear it, but once worn, the costume can never be removed again, as it completely fuses with the wearer, gradually transforming them into a man-eating monster.
After consuming many people, it grows stronger and stronger until it is slain once again. The clown suit will end up in the hands of another person harboring resentment towards humanity, repeating the cycle by some stroke of fate.
Moreover, the clown suit has the characteristic of "mocking fate," which makes it impossible for any divination to pinpoint it, and with the increase in power, it can even actively toy with fate.
Shielding the victims’ senses, distorting their perception, and preventing them from noticing it before making a move is just a basic ability.
What the [History of the Silver Continent] can accomplish, the [Capricious Joker] can certainly do, and with more bloody and brutal methods.
It is precisely because of the influence of this demigod-level authority that Byron deliberately or inadvertently ignored the other’s existence before.
As for why the other would appear at the edge of the world?
Years ago, with the constant release of fear’s power, the clown’s strength also kept growing.
After being passed on to a certain master, it was never truly killed again.
Ultimately, it polluted an entire city on the Old Continent, transforming its homeland and place of birth into a massive and terrifying dark fairy tale playground.
Using the playground as a medium, it opened a rift between the real world and the Sea of Origin Matter, allowing many dark fairy tales from historical legends to invade the real world, with that playground as the core.
This resulted in a grand supernatural calamity.
The image of the clown also became a complete synonym for terror.
Even though the [Night Watch] of the church altered the collective subconsciousness of everyone on the continent, reversing the clown’s horrific image into something humorous, constructing a psychic barrier.
And creating a new profession in the Hall Sequence called [Clown], successfully isolating it from the human world.
However, until now, the [Capricious Joker] has not died.
Instead, it continues to wander at the edge of the world with those dead spirits that are tough to chew on, always yearning to return to the Material World filled with fresh "food."
Back then, the [Bone Gobble Joker] Koraskin, who first arrived at the "Fortress Bridgehead" on the Southern Continent, was polluted into a frightening grotesque by it.
Byron himself also took advantage of the opponent’s [Golden Great Devil Card] to secretly trap the Puppet King.
Thinking that the "traitor" and fate’s interference had been resolved, he unexpectedly collided head-on with the [Capricious Joker] amidst a series of "chance" occurrences.
How is this different from kissing a pig around the corner?
Bang!
Byron landed on a large branch of the giant Tree of Life, overlooking an endless small-world ecosystem.
And heard sporadic calls and explosions from the Fifth Order legends as they resisted.
He also confirmed through the logs that the rules here were exactly the same as in the memory of the [Prime Core]:
"Even if the Fifth Order legends enter the ship, until they are polluted and assimilated into kin, they can’t leave either.
Unless, like the Ark, they carry the genetic information of an entire ecosystem on themselves; otherwise, their bloodline is a deathly shackle around them."
None of the Fifth Order legends that entered could escape alive, and the remaining ones were merely struggling on the brink of death.
A few hidden secrets in the logs got updated as well.
After having fought against all sects’ pseudo-gods, [Secret: Plan for the Collapse of the Dragon Court, Historical Influence: 66,] the decryption rate jumped from 48% to 62%.
Just after seeing the [Capricious Joker], the decryption rate jumped to 71%.
Byron realized that the capricious joker and the "traitor," unknown to him, had brewed countless major plans to tear apart the Silver Law, and a temporary setback would definitely not be the end.
Not being able to kill them means their plots and schemes would never stop.
Moreover, after entering the [Noah’s Ark] and seeing everything clearly, another [Secret: Trigger for Religious War, Historical Influence: 65] decryption rate finally reached 100%!
Indicating that the turmoil in the Material World was finally considered over.
Byron just took a breath of relief when his [Divine Sight] was suddenly triggered, and he turned to see a wealthy and generous red-haired beauty, standing quietly behind him, stark naked with a voluptuous white body.
She coquettishly licked her rosy lips at him.
At the same time, probably due to the high historical influence of this secret, three entries appeared for him to choose one from.
[You Have Some Skills] which had appeared previously but wasn’t chosen; followed by two entirely new entries: [Wild Temporary Worker]; [Madam, You Don’t Want Your Husband...].
