"Justice" Audrey thought she had misheard: "Wh-what? The Goddess eliminated the 'Artificial Death'?"

"Emperor" Hobert replied with a smile: "That's what 'The Creator' said."

Audrey found it difficult to maintain her composure as an Spectator member: A deity has taken action!

Then she realized why she was so surprised. First, it concerned her faith. Second, despite trading information so many times, this was the first time she had traded "real-time" intelligence.

Audrey suddenly seemed to realize that the goddess she believed in was not a stone statue placed in a church but a living being with its own consciousness and actions.

"Hanged Man" Alger, in addition to being shocked, immediately recalled Mr. Fool's earlier reminder: The era is changing because of this!

He couldn't help but guess: Adam is about to become a god, Mr. Fool and "The Creator" are further awakening, and the Evernight Goddess has also taken action. What about the other gods? What actions are the other gods taking?

"Moon" Emlyn had similar guesses to Alger. At the same time, he thought: Recently, the gods have been very active. Like our Sanguine's ancestor, She actually personally gave me instructions, telling me to actively participate in the Tarot Club, which will have a world-saving purpose in the future.

"Hermit" Cattleya was surprised: Orthodox gods have also taken action? This is the first time I've heard about the real-time movements of orthodox gods!

"Star" Leonard couldn't believe his ears: The Goddess? Eliminated the 'Artificial Death'? How come I don't know anything about this? As an elite member of the Church, a member of the Red Gloves, I don't even know about this!

Then he asked "Emperor": "What does the Goddess, I mean the Evernight Goddess, want with the 'Death' pathway's Uniqueness? Does She want to try to accommodate it?"

Hobert replied without thinking: "Don't know!"

"No, you must know!"

Hobert smiled: "When you become an angel, I will tell you this information for free."

Leonard really wanted to ask, "Are you kidding me?"

But in the end, he didn't say anything because he knew that this information was too high-level. Even just answering "yes" or "no" was too high-level for him to know!

Finally, Hobert said a little casually: "This news is temporarily confidential."

Klein thought to himself: It's "must be kept secret"! Otherwise, the Goddess's plan will be completely exposed, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

Hobert then said to "Little Sun": "I don't know the specific process of advancing to 'Ferryman', but I imagine it should require establishing a certain connection with 'Death'. After all, he is the 'ferryman' who sends the dead to the underworld.

"If the 'Death' position is vacant, perhaps he won't be affected. But now, the 'Death' pathway's Uniqueness has been 'activated', so your former chief established a certain connection with Him.

"Thus, the scene seen by the current chief of City of Silver occurred, with the two connected by those black thin tubes.

"Perhaps without this connection, there would still be hope for a successful advancement. But because the state of the 'Artificial Death' is also very strange, it should have greatly affected or impacted your former chief, ultimately causing his advancement to fail.

"Your current chief handled it very properly. If it wasn't handled in time, City of Silver might have been affected, possibly turning into a city of the dead."

"Sun" Derrick took a deep breath, which meant that City of Silver's attempt had once again ended in failure!

He hid that trace of sorrow in his heart: "I understand, Mr. Emperor, thank you for your answer."

Hobert smiled and then asked everyone: "Does anyone else have any questions?"

Cattleya asked: "What impact does the disappearance of the 'Artificial Death' have on us, on the current world situation?"

"For the time being, the impact should not be significant," Hobert said. "After all, very few people know about this.

"As for the changes it will bring to the current world situation, it's hard to say.

"As Mr. Fool just reminded: The era is changing because of this.

"In the next few years, I wouldn't be surprised if anything strange happens."

Cattleya slowly nodded, understanding that the Emperor meant that this matter would definitely have a huge impact on the future.

Alger then asked: "So that means Salinger has completely fallen and there is no possibility of resurrection?"

Hobert spread his hands: "Hard to say. I don't know if the Underworld Emperor has left any backup plans, and this pathway is so special that I don't know if there is even a concept of complete death."

Alger sighed: I forgot again, how can I use the concept of death to imagine the state of a god?

Seeing that no one else had any questions, Hobert said to Leonard: "How about we trade information about Zoroast?"

Leonard nodded: "Okay."

Hobert then asked: "Do you want to listen by yourself, or do you want everyone to listen with you? Well, most of the information is already known to everyone."

Leonard was slightly stunned: "Can I listen by myself?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll listen by myself."

Everyone wasn't very interested in the information about this angel family, and it seemed to involve Mr. Star's privacy, so no one proposed joining this transaction.

So Hobert asked Mr. Fool to help create a separate communication space and then began to say: "As far as I know, the Zoroast family strongly supports the Black Emperor Solomon.

"It is said that this is because the ancestor of the Zoroast family was killed by Amon in the early Fourth Epoch, and Solomon helped the Zoroast family preserve that Sequence 1 characteristic.

"After establishing the Solomon Empire, Solomon helped Pallez Zoroast advance to Sequence 1."

Leonard then realized the old man's past: So that means the old man has lived for at least two thousand years!

Hobert began to describe the situation at the time: "At that time, the Solomon Empire was at its peak..."

After briefly describing the process of the Solomon Empire's destruction, the establishment of the Solomon Second Empire, and its subsequent destruction, Hobert spoke about the Zoroast family's continued support for the Solomon Empire.

"Especially when the Solomon Second Empire was established," Hobert said. "At that time, Solomon was weak and had great hatred with the Tudor Empire and the Trunsoest Empire.

"Any rational angel would not choose to be loyal to Solomon, but the Zoroast family still chose to support Solomon.

"I dare not say how noble this behavior is, and there may be some secret transactions behind it, but in the Beyonder world, such a choice is already a 'moral model'."

"Fool" Klein, listening from the head of the bronze long table, sighed: Maybe the moral bottom line of the Beyonder world is too low. Alas, the higher the "sequence", the colder it seems and the less human the light is.

Leonard didn't know about so many backstabbing incidents between the gods, so he didn't feel anything.

Hobert finally said: "With the destruction of the Solomon Second Empire, the Zoroast family has been hiding to avoid Amon's pursuit.

"But Pallez Zoroast should not be dead and should have been playing hide-and-seek with Amon for more than a thousand years.

"At this time, he may be hiding in some corner, a corner that Amon would find difficult to think of, or even if he thought of it, it would be difficult to confirm."

Klein laughed inwardly: No matter how knowledgeable you are, you would never guess that Pallez is hiding in this Mr. Star's body!

Leonard then realized why "Old Man" would hide in his body, because he was an official extraordinary, protected by the Church, and Amon would not be able to find him so easily.

As the transaction was about to end, Leonard considered whether to ask "Emperor": Are you Hobert?

But he suddenly felt a little unsure about this, because in his previous contacts with Hobert, Hobert had never seemed so knowledgeable.

Leonard felt that if "Emperor" was not Hobert and he mentioned Hobert, would it cause inconvenience to Hobert? He would also be in danger of being exposed!

So in the end, he decided to observe for a while before deciding.

After this transaction ended, Emlyn cleared his throat and said: "A big shot in the clan is about to arrive in Backlund and specifically asked to see me. How should I deal with Him?"

Leonard was stunned: Him? An angel?

Alger, who was good at solving such things, pondered for a few seconds and then said: "Mr. Fool just said that the era has changed. Although your Sanguine's big shots may not know the details, with their level, they should have some awareness and prepare to respond.

"That big shot specifically asked to see you is both a test and an observation. Just act as usual, but there may be some tests or tasks later."

Emlyn nodded slightly: Just like I thought!

He nodded lightly to the "Hanged Man": "Thank you."

Hobert waited for their exchange to end and then said: "I'm issuing a wanted order!"

After obtaining the Fool's consent, he materialized a portrait of a little boy: "This is the target we are currently looking for. Don't be deceived by his appearance, or rather, he may no longer be as childish as in the wanted order.

"His body hides a very terrifying soul. After seeing him, don't try to attack him. Just pretend you don't know anything.

"He doesn't have the terrifying abilities of Adam and Amon. As long as you are calm enough, he won't know that you recognize him.

"After obtaining information about him, immediately pray to Mr. Fool! Please ask Mr. Fool to notify me.

"His reward is 100,000 pounds. If you can provide useful clues, you can receive a 5,000-pound reward. If you can provide accurate clues and capture this guy based on those clues, you will receive a 30,000-pound reward!"

After seeing this little boy, Audrey's mood was very complicated. Logically speaking, she should hate him very much, but Audrey felt somewhat grateful to him, otherwise she and Hobert would have continued to hide their feelings.

Klein, whose reward seemed to have increased to 90,000 pounds recently, was a little strange. What heinous things had the other party done?

Alger also had the same question: "Why does he have such a high reward?"

"You can think of him as a henchman of an Outer God, or simply say he is an incarnation of an Evil God! He once wanted to find 'The Creator' through me and use the power of that Outer God to attack 'The Creator'!" Hobert said.

"Therefore, an innocent family of five has been killed by him for this, and a good friend and I were almost killed by him."

Audrey thought of their kiss on another planet and still felt shy and aftertaste.

Fors frowned: Almost lost his life! Good heavens, I didn't even know about this! Did it just happen today? "A good friend"? Could this "good friend" be Audrey?

She felt that she seemed to have pieced together the truth: What did Hobert and Audrey experience together that made Hobert make such a decision?

Cattleya thought of another thing: Did the "Emperor" help "The Creator" get rid of the pursuers and make a significant contribution, so he obtained a lot of very high-level information?

Klein then manipulated "The World" to ask: "Are Outer Gods the same as Outer Deities?"

Hobert said: "Outer Deities is a noun, while Outer Gods refers to the gods in the cosmos."

Klein roughly understood what Hobert meant.

Leonard was chewing on the meaning of "gods in the cosmos" in his heart.

The other members also realized that the Outer Deities in the cosmos had been trying to attack the gods of this world.

Audrey also realized at this time that her encounter involved the struggle between gods. Thinking that she and Hobert were rescued by the Evernight Goddess, she became more convinced that "The Creator" and the Evernight Goddess were strong allies.

At this point, this Tarot Gathering came to an end. "The World" explained to Leonard the parts of the gathering that needed to be kept secret, and then the members stood up and bowed to the head of the bronze long table to bid farewell.

The deep red light in front of Leonard's eyes dissipated, and he returned to the real world, with a red glove that had not yet been put on in front of him.

At this time, a slightly old voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Been gone so long?"

Leonard said: "I thought there were only two or three members. I didn't expect Mr. Fool's divine meeting to have eight people and that they exchanged some very secret information."

Pallez asked: "You don't need to keep this information secret?"

"I can't reveal the detailed information of other members, but I can tell you some of the information traded at the gathering." This was what "The World" Klein explained to Leonard at the end of the gathering.

Then Leonard asked: "Old Man, do you know about 'Rose Redemption'?"

"You… you actually traded information of this level?" Pallez, who had lived for more than two thousand years, was also a little surprised.

Leonard then asked: "Is this a very powerful organization?"

"More than just powerful," Pallez smiled: "That is an organization established by gods and the King of Angels."

Leonard recalled for a moment and did hear "Emperor" say that the initiators of this organization were the "Dark Angel" and the Evernight Goddess.

He thought that like the Church, these two were nominally the supreme leaders, and there were angels, demigods, and other members below. According to the Old Man, this organization seemed to have more than one god and King of Angels?

Leonard asked: "Old Man, do you know which members are in this organization?"

Pallez said: "The first members are definitely beyond your imagination. I still suspect that Ouroboros was bragging."

Leonard then realized that the information he had traded today may have been the limit of what the Old Man knew.

Pallez suddenly asked: "Are you still trading information about the Zoroast family?"

Leonard blurted out: "No."

Pallez's old voice was full of banter: "Your answer is too fast! It has already exposed your true thoughts."

He smiled and said, "What kind of person you are, don't I know yet?"

Leonard, who has always had a thick skin, was slightly embarrassed at this time.

He changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, I still have to complete a transaction with a member."

"Do you know? The Tarot Club's transaction is actually completed through sacrifice and bestowal."

...

Forsaken Land of the Gods, City of Silver.

Derrick returned to the real world, took a deep breath and immediately got up, quickly came to the round tower, and asked to see Chief Colin.

As soon as they met, Derrick said: "Your Excellency, Chief, I went back and thought about it for two days, and I seem to understand what those black thin tubes are."

Colin's eyes became a little deep, but he immediately returned to normal: "What is it?"

"It may be that the current 'Death God' has a problem, which has affected the state of the former chief, and ultimately led to the failure of the advancement." Derrick reported the key information he had obtained to the chief:

"Fortunately, you cut off those black thin tubes in time, otherwise the 'Death' that has a problem may use the former chief to affect the entire City of Silver."

Colin frowned slightly: "Are you sure... I mean, is that really what you think?"

"Yes." Derrick replied very firmly.

Colin "hmm"ed and said: "Very good, your idea has solved the doubts in my heart. In addition to rewarding you with some merits, you can also propose some rewards yourself."

Derrick found that he now completely understood what the chief meant: Merit is a reward for himself, and "the reward he proposed" is actually asking what reward the person who provided this information needs?

He thought for a while and said: "6 Beyonder ingredients of Sequence 7 level."

Derrick didn't know what Mr. Emperor wanted, but he knew that Mr. Emperor had always had a great demand for Beyonder ingredients!

Colin nodded: "No problem."

...

Loen Kingdom, 62 Empress Borough.

Hobert stared at the roof for a while, and heard a slight sound of rain.

He got up and opened the curtains to see that it was raining again outside. It was only about four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already a bit dim outside, as if it was already evening.

He stretched his waist, went to the study downstairs to sacrifice the mystical item given to Leonard to "The Fool," and then received 9,000 pounds in cash.

The transaction price of this mystical item was actually 10,000 pounds, but after deducting 1,000 pounds for the reward for purchasing Shadowed Fish from Cattleya, he received 9,000 pounds.

After putting away the cash, Hobert called Dophis and told him that he had a major operation recently, and asked Dophis to participate in the extraordinary war that might break out in the South Colson area.

Hobert's responsibility for him was, first, to be responsible for logistics, and second, to protect Jeffrey City as much as possible.

After talking until night, Hobert had dinner, braved the rain to go to the Brave Bar, had a glass of beer, and then slowly returned to the Earl's Mansion in a carriage.

It's just that Miss Sharron never showed up.

Hobert muttered: "Maybe Miss Sharron is not in the bar today."

Back at the Earl's Mansion, Hobert was about to change into his pajamas when his spirituality suddenly sensed something and looked at the full-length mirror in the corner.

The mirror showed the scene in the bedroom, but the door in the mirror suddenly opened.

Hobert couldn't help but glance at the door in the real world, which remained motionless.

In the mirror, Sharron, with light golden hair, delicate features, and wearing a Gothic court dress, entered the bedroom and stood next to Hobert in the mirror.

Hobert couldn't help but look at his side. He clearly felt that there was someone standing next to him, but there was nothing in the real world.

At this time, Sharron came out of the mirror as if passing through a layer of water film: "What do you want me for?"

Hobert found that Sharron's eyes looked more ethereal, and her hands and fingers, and even her clothes, became more delicate, as if they lacked a sense of reality.

Hobert then remembered that Miss Sharron at this time was already a "Puppet."

He said: "I want to trade another batch of Beyonder characteristics with the Temperance faction."

Miss Sharron nodded slightly without any change in expression: "Yes, we also have some new needs."

Before the last transaction, many members of the Temperance faction had been stuck in a sequence for a long time. The batch of Beyonder characteristics traded before only basically met everyone's advancement needs.

But now it has been seven or eight months, and the Temperance faction certainly has new needs.

"But this transaction method is a bit special." Hobert said: "We are going to conduct a great war. If the Temperance faction can participate in the war, I will pay you with Beyonder characteristics."

"If you can have three demigods participate in the war, complete the designated tasks, and have spoils of war, even if there is only one Sequence 9 Beyonder characteristic, I will pay the Temperance faction a Beyonder characteristic of 'Puppet'."

"If you can capture demigod-level spoils of war, I am willing to trade with you on a 1:1 basis! Anything below demigod level is 1:2."

"For example, if you capture a Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic, you can come to me to exchange it for a 'Puppet' Beyonder characteristic."

"But if it is a Beyonder characteristic below the demigod level, it will take 2 pieces to exchange for 1 piece of the Beyonder characteristic of the same sequence of the 'Prisoner' pathway."

He smiled and said: "Doesn't it sound very cost-effective? I will find enemies for you. After you eliminate the enemies, you can exchange them for the Beyonder characteristics you need."

Sharorn said very calmly: "The transaction you initiated is very fraudulent!"

She said: "As long as there are three demigod powers participating in the war, it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy no matter where it is placed, and you have to complete the tasks you give. It is impossible for us to easily kill a Sequence 9 and then withdraw from the battle."

Hobert did not feel ashamed that his thoughts were exposed at all. He smiled and said: "What I can guarantee is that you will not be the main attack force."

He spread his hands and said: "As long as you participate in the war, you can get a Beyonder characteristic of 'Puppet'. I think this transaction is very cost-effective."

Sharron considered for a few seconds before saying: "I will give you an answer the day after tomorrow as to whether to participate in the war."

Hobert nodded: "Okay!"

Sharron turned around and was about to return to the mirror.

Just as she reached the mirror, Hobert suddenly said: "Gehrman Sparrow will also participate in the war!"

Although he has not yet sent an invitation to Klein, he mentioned it at the Tarot meeting today, and Klein did not show any refusal, so this foreign aid representing "The Fool" can almost be confirmed.

Sharron turned her head: "What does this have to do with me?"

Hobert smiled awkwardly: "I'm just saying."

He quickly found a good reason: "After all, we met each other through him."

In fact, Hobert was very curious whether Sharron had any emotional fluctuations towards Klein, but it seems not to be the case now, but it cannot be ruled out that Sharron is hiding it very well, after all, her emotions rarely fluctuate.

Watching Miss Sharron leave, Hobert asked the kitchen to make a batch of donuts, and then wrote a letter to Klein, sending a formal invitation.

As for the reward for Klein, Hobert asked him to propose it himself.

Soon, Klein sent a reply, and he agreed to Hobert's invitation. As for the reward he proposed, it was: a clue to the "Scholar of Yore" potion formula.

Hobert remembered that the Evernight Goddess seemed to have it, and he only needed to pray to the Evernight Goddess.

He smiled slightly: "This can be regarded as a clue!"

Hobert opened the map of the South Colson area and planned this extraordinary battle again before lying down, thinking about Fors for a while, and then thinking about Audrey for a while.

As a result, the more he thought about it, the more energetic he became, and he only slept for more than two hours using meditation.

When Hobert woke up, he felt that his condition was not bad. If he could get the Shadowed Fish, he could try to advance immediately.

So Hobert had breakfast early and waited in the study. At about seven o'clock, he received a message from Mr. Fool that he could arrange the bestowment ritual.

Hobert immediately arranged the ritual and obtained a gray sea fish about the size of two palms.

It has fine scales all over its body. At this time, there is a layer of fine crystals like table salt on the surface of these scales.

Hobert waited for a while, and these crystals gradually gathered and turned into a somewhat illusory gray scale-like thing.

All the materials were gathered.

However, Hobert did not immediately modulate the potion, but went to the "Earl's Light" store first and saw someone buying light bulbs in the morning.

He also went to see the construction site in the suburbs, and the outlines of the second batch of two large power plants were already there.

Finally, Hobert took a carriage and went around the Empress Borough, Cherwood Borough, St. George's District and other areas with more concentrated middle class.

The power lines in the Empress Borough have been basically completed, and the laying is also underway in the areas where the middle class is more concentrated.

After seeing all this, it was already noon when Hobert returned to the Earl's Mansion.

He first told Dophis not to let anyone approach the study, and asked him to guard outside the door, then locked the door from the inside, took out all the prepared auxiliary Ingredients, and used the "bestowment" method to take out the Beyonder characteristic of the "Frenzied Mage" from the "Nation of Disorder."

Because this Beyonder characteristic will always have some impact on the surrounding people and environment, Hobert simply put it in a small box made of "Order Crystal."

He took the new graduated cylinder and balance he had just bought, and Hobert began to modulate the potion.

First, the auxiliary Ingredients. Hobert successively added the venom of the White-striped Spider with some filamentous substances in the clear liquid. It is said that the White-striped Spider is one of the main ingredients for advancing to "Demoness of Unaging."

But they don't need the venom of the White-striped Spider, so before Jonathan and others defected, the Demoness Sect entrusted the Theosophy Order to handle it to the auction house.

Then there was the scale-shaped Shadowed Fish crystals, as well as the jelly-like liquid from the brain of the Six-whiskered Mutant Beast, and eight-year-old red wine.

These four auxiliary Ingredients modulated one-third of a beaker of bright red potion that emitted an alluring aura.

Finally, Hobert opened the small box made of "Order Crystal" and took out a palm-sized metallic liver inside.

This is the Beyonder characteristic of the "Frenzied Mage". It is constantly emitting black mist and wriggling non-stop. During the wriggling process, it happens to outline a human face on the outside.

This human face is constantly making expressions such as anger, smile, and confusion. At the same time, the space around it is constantly being distorted, as if it is about to escape from Hobert's hands at any time.

After adding the Beyonder characteristic to the bright red liquid composed of auxiliary Ingredients, it quickly melted, and its impact on the surrounding area temporarily disappeared.

Hobert looked at the gray liquid flashing with crystal-like luster in the beaker, took a deep breath and drank it all.

Rumble~

As soon as the potion entered his mouth, Hobert's thoughts seemed to explode suddenly, and memories and thoughts burst out uncontrollably.

The scenery in his vision shook back and forth, and soon began to turn upside down, turning back and forth up, down, left, and right, as uncomfortable as a hangover.

At the same time, Hobert's ears rang with chaotic sounds. There was the sound of a violin scratching randomly, Alger's out-of-tune singing, the roar of a train, Klein coldly saying "This shot is the captain's," Dunn with blood on the corner of his mouth "We saved Tingen City."

Fors said "I will never go to Backlund again," Audrey "I regret it so much," there were...

Hundreds of voices appeared at the same time, constantly ringing and repeating in Hobert's ears. He could no longer distinguish who said what.

Hobert was already very uncomfortable with the changes in his vision, and now he was about to vomit, but he couldn't close his eyes, couldn't cover his ears, and couldn't stop his thoughts.

Finally, multi-colored colors appeared in front of Hobert, the sounds gradually disappeared, the vision no longer turned so violently, and the thoughts in his brain also calmed down.

But it was too quiet, Hobert had no thoughts at all.

He felt that he had become this Earl's Mansion. The butler, the head male servant, the first-class servant, the second-class servant, the cook, the gardener, the coachman, the tailor, the rough servant, etc., each had a set of salary, accommodation, food and other treatments according to their status.

Hobert felt that he was like the air outside the window. As long as he was a little drier, the fog would not be so strong, and as long as he was a little wetter, he would form a drizzle.

Soon, Hobert felt that his consciousness covered the entire Empress Borough, and then the entire Empress Borough.

At this moment, Hobert thought that he was the god of the Empress Borough, who could make the king a rough servant, and could make a rough servant a king.

He could move anyone's position, change the weather in the Empress Borough, and turn early autumn into late autumn.

Hobert enjoyed this feeling very much and was unwilling to think any further.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of Hobert, and the light quickly approached, and it turned out to be a huge light bulb! It was the huge light bulb on "Order Square" that had been extinguished!

The light bulb was surrounded by circles of people, who exclaimed together: "This is the Earl's Light!"

Hobert's consciousness began to have some happy emotions, no longer so unemotional, no longer so abstract and conceptual.

The light bulb in front of him suddenly turned into countless small spots of light. Those spots of light gradually enlarged, some were a family of three looking at the light bulb above their heads, exclaiming: "Earl's Light!"

Some were young couples, looking at the light bulb overhead and exclaiming, "Light of the Earl!"

Some were children, looking at the light bulb and exclaiming, "Light of the Earl!"

...

Behind every point of light was an exclamation, and every exclamation helped Hobert regain some clarity.

Because the Sequence 3 ritual was thoroughly prepared, it only took a few seconds for Hobert to come back to his senses. He found himself still in the study, but the study was now filled with thick black fog.

Hobert struggled to find his body. Suddenly, the black fog solidified and quickly formed Hobert's body.

At that moment, Hobert felt a sense of understanding. The Sequence 3 potion had completely reshaped his body. From then on, ordinary physical attacks would not cause him any harm.

Because the ritual was so well prepared, Hobert didn't feel any discomfort. Apart from the overflowing spirituality, he didn't seem like he had just completed his advancement.

There was a moment when Hobert felt himself becoming very abstract, even turning into a symbol, a concept.

But soon, the light bulb and the Light of the Earl, a physical object and a concept, allowed Hobert to quickly distinguish between abstraction and reality, and then regain his sanity.

At this point, he finally understood that at Sequence 3, "Frenzied Mage," he was already an abstract collection. After all, both order and rules are abstract. To better Exploit and destroy them, one must become as abstract as they are.

Then Hobert recalled the advancement process just now. It seemed that his consciousness was all over every corner of Empress Borough. He wondered if the King of Sodela Palace would notice?

Or was that just his illusion?

Hobert smiled wryly. He didn't remember Klein causing such a big commotion when he advanced to Sequence 3? Even when he advanced to Sequence 2, he didn't seem to have caused much of a stir, right?

Then he thought that even if George III noticed, it wouldn't matter. After all, he was an Earl of the Kingdom of Loen, and his advancement wouldn't do any harm to the Kingdom of Loen.

If George III sent someone to confirm the advancement, he could admit it openly.

Hobert didn't continue to consider this issue, but began to use his spirituality to check what changes had occurred in his abilities.

The signature skills of the "Black Emperor" pathway, "Distortion" and "Disorder," had undergone another qualitative improvement.

At the Sequence 3 level, "Distortion" can "distort" the thoughts of all targets within a certain range, and can "distort" them in different directions.

The Sequence 4 level "Distortion" is also a range-based attack ability, but it can only "distort" in one direction, such as only being able to turn all targets within a certain range from running away to charging.

And the Sequence 3 level "Distortion" can completely turn some targets' fleeing into standing still, some targets' fleeing into charging, some targets' fleeing into lying down, and so on.

Overall, it has become more refined.

At the same time, one "distortion" of space can move about 5 kilometers, which is two or three hundred times more than before.

After a little thought, Hobert knew why there was such a change. The previous "distortion" was just a simple distortion of space, while the current distortion is "distorting" the spirit world together, so there was a fundamental change in the "distortion" distance.

Hobert also understood why, under the "Frenzied Mage's" "Distortion," the Beyonders of the "Door" pathway couldn't enter the spirit world, because even that part of the spirit world was "distorted," which had a huge impact on the ability to "travel."

This ability has also become more conceptualized. For example, it can "distort" the concepts of two targets that have no connection with oneself, while the Sequence 4 "distortion" can also "distort" the concepts of two targets, but one of these two targets must be oneself.

The Sequence 3 level "Distortion" does not have such requirements.

In addition to thoughts, thinking, and space, it can also "distort" emotions, feelings, sensations, as well as temperature, gravity, light, etc. It seems that anything can be distorted!

The second ability, "Disorder," has also undergone a qualitative change. All the previous effects of "Disorder" can still be used, but two new usages have been added.

The first usage is that it can make a person's thinking become crazy and chaotic, and it will cause the target's deepest emotions or desires to erupt, making it difficult to distinguish between what is real and what is one's own illusions for a period of time.

And for a period of time, it is difficult to form effective plans and logical thinking.

The second usage is also a conceptual usage, which can cause the order in an area to fall into madness and Disorder.

For example, it can reverse the identities of people in a large office building, turning managers into employees and employees into managers. It will also make all the rules and regulations, laws and regulations in people's minds become chaotic.

This ability is the "Frenzied Mage's" most adept "Frenzy" ability.

In "Foggy Town," Hobert had felt the taste of "Frenzy" from afar, which was more complex than "Disorder." The key is that it can affect logic and emotions for a period of time, which means that in battle, the target will continuously increase the probability of misjudgment and mistakes.

Other abilities have also been greatly improved, such as "Corruption," which can make the target's body and spirituality become corrupt together!

For example, "Bestow," which can "bestow" away all the damage, curses, diseases, and negative effects received, but the corruption and mutation of spirituality are still difficult to completely bestow away.

Most of the abilities have become more abstract, such as "Connection." If Hobert were to investigate a murder case, as long as he saw the victim's body, he could quickly form a "Connection" with the murderer.

If it is someone he has seen, he can quickly identify the murderer. If it is someone he has not seen, he can immediately establish the corresponding "Connection" as long as he sees them within a certain period of time.

After finishing the observation of his abilities, Hobert immediately entered the "Nation of Disorder" to see what changes had taken place there.

First of all, Hobert lifted Trunsoest's seal and brought him to his hall: "Let's talk about the Trunsoest family."

As Hobert expected, Trunsoest, who was handsome but had a somewhat bookish temperament, smiled and said, "No problem."
