Edward soon discovered that with each trip, he was one step closer to the image they imagined. Although everyone imagined themselves differently, they all had one thing in common: a "god" who was high above, mysterious and terrifying. ~s,h!u·b`x!s`.?co-m?

But he knew very well that was not his true self.

He hastily gathered his mind and tried to break free from this uncontrolled movement and return to his original self, but he could not find a way to escape.

until,

A door covered with snow appeared - that was the door he had walked through when he left "Groselle's Travels". He walked through the door and entered reality with the five characters in the story.

[Let a story come into reality. ]

For a moment, Edward suddenly realized that the deep impressions he left on everyone when he played the role of the spiritual wizard were equivalent to stories.

The time travel during promotion was equivalent to turning oneself into a character in the story - just like Groselle and the other five. If they could not leave the world in the book, they would become part of the story and become characters in it.

The promotion ceremony allowed him to experience the feeling of walking out of the story in advance, so as to prevent him from being completely lost in the "memory story".

He flew to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed it hard. As the door hinge turned silently, a gap quickly expanded, and in an instant, the stars in the sky were reflected in.

The next second,

The rushing river, the Hogwarts castle, and the boundless sea flashed before his eyes, and he once again stepped into the starry sky that he had seen every time he was promoted.

As expected, Mr. Men was still not seen this time.

In the boundless starry sky, apart from the endless stars, it seemed that he was the only one.

suddenly,

Edward felt as if all the planets that were countless light years away from him were within his reach - this was the power of the Gate Path Sequence 3 Wanderer!

The true meaning of "the journey is the sea of ​​stars"!

At this time, the stars in the sky gathered towards him, and injected information about his promotion into his mind. When his consciousness returned to his body and he could see clearly the deserted island he was on, he had successfully been promoted to Sequence 3!

In his mind, there was also some information about his promotion:

[Sequence 3 Deconstructionist]

To know, comprehend and deconstruct the essence of things is to be a deconstructionist.

Extraordinary abilities:

[Roaming]: No longer dependent on the spirit world for teleportation, you can freely enter the starry sky, travel through the star world, and travel to different planets.

[Space Tear]: Initially master space and use the tear in space to launch attacks.

[Degradation]: Deconstruct the target and make it degrade in all aspects, including but not limited to actions, behaviors, sequences, strength, etc. When using "Degradation", the more you know about the target, the higher the success rate, the stronger the effect, and the longer it lasts.

[Deconstruction]: Deconstruct the target, find out its secrets, loopholes and rules, understand its essence, and [reproduce] it to a certain extent.

After being promoted to [Deconstruction Scholar], Edward gained a total of four new abilities, two from the Wanderer and two from the Sequence itself.

The [Roaming] ability is equivalent to the advanced version of [Traveler's Gate]. From now on, Edward's "teleportation" will no longer rely on the spiritual world, but directly through the starry sky and the astral world. This means that ordinary [Prohibition] will not be able to prevent him from leaving and entering the battlefield at any time. (Xianyu can do this in the Fate Ring. This game makes a certain private setting based on this: only [Prohibition] above the Judge Path Sequence 2 can take effect)

In the previous battle, this was clearly the most mobile route among the 22 routes, but it was destroyed directly with just one [ban] from others. It was so frustrating.

From now on, except for a very small number of top high-sequence extraordinary people, Edward will be the freest guy on the battlefield - even if he encounters a top extraordinary person, he still has the [Destination]!

[Space Tear] is the first space-related extraordinary ability that Edward has mastered that has the ability to cause direct damage. It can directly tear the space around the enemy to attack. Compared with the previous situation where he could only [Exile] and use the illusory door to hide in another space, it is undoubtedly more proactive!

There is no need to explain the ability of [Degeneration]. It will directly drop the enemy sequence. Even if it can only last for a few seconds when facing a strong opponent, it is still very scary!

As for the newly added ability [Deconstruction], it is naturally the core ability of [Deconstruction Scholar]. From the description, [Degradation] seems to be just a derivative ability of [Deconstruction].

However, it is currently impossible to give an accurate assessment of this ability itself, and further testing and exploration is needed.

In addition to this, all previous abilities have naturally been strengthened to varying degrees. The only regret is that the number of solidified abilities of [Silurus-Solidification] has not increased, otherwise he should have chosen one of the two abilities of [Prohibition] and [Distortion] this time.

"Oh, I am greedy."

Edward shook his head and concentrated on taking in the remaining information about the next sequence from the potion:

[Sequence 2 Visionary]

Materials: Planeswalker Potion + Miracle Worker Extraordinary Characteristics.

Ritual: Making a well-known event false

Dreamer?

This name... is quite interesting. It is only one letter different from [Dreamer]. It should not be too bad.

The formula is still the same "dual-path" model with a new soup but the essence remains the same. The Planeswalker's potion is needless to say, but the Miracle Worker's Beyonder characteristics... seem a bit troublesome.

I remember that in the original book, Xiaoshe mentioned the distribution of the extraordinary characteristics of the miracle worker: one copy for Zaratul (who had not yet been promoted to the Mysterious Servant at this time), two copies for Antigonus, one copy for the Wishing Lamp, one copy for the Dark Wolf (in the God-forsaken Land), one copy for the Curtain, and two copies in the form of sealed objects in the hands of the two major churches, and one copy was contained in the potion that would allow little Zaratul to be promoted to the Mysterious Servant in the future - it was most likely from old Zaratul.

From this perspective, if it is impossible to go to the God-Forsaken Land, it seems that the extraordinary characteristic of [Miracle Worker] in Zaratul's hand is relatively the simplest - if you are lucky, you can even get the extraordinary characteristic of the Mystical Servant.

I shouldn't have pretended to be Amon to scare him last time. Once this kind of guy decides to hide, it will be hard to find him.

"However, since He wants to get the Antigonus Notes from the church through Roselle, He will return to Trier sooner or later, right? As soon as He shows up, we will take action!"

Edward continued to watch the Sequence 2 promotion ceremony, "Let a well-known event become false."

At first glance,

It's like asking me to make up a story and spread it widely, and then when everyone believes it to be true, I can reveal that it is false?

But to what extent is "well-known"?

He suddenly frowned: And the ceremony talks about "event", which may be understood as "story", but perhaps it does not just mean "story".

Edward frowned:

You said you would give me the formula and ritual, why don't you make it clearer? Why do you have to create this kind of seemingly plausible puzzle?

However, thinking back to the Sequence 3 promotion ceremony, I was at a loss at first, until I suddenly remembered "Groselle's Travels", and then I suddenly realized it.

I hope that the Sequence 2 ceremony can also be accomplished smoothly like this.

Edward rubbed his aching temple, exhaled softly, and looked at the last message carefully with anticipation:

But the next second, he was stunned: the information in the potion ended here, and it was not like the previous few times, where it overdrew the ability to the next sequence through [Delusion] at the very end.

Is there a bug?

He closed his eyes and "reviewed" the information he had just received in his mind, and found that he was indeed unable to "overdraw" his ability this time.

More than ten seconds later, he opened his eyes with understanding: it was not a bug, but a [Delusion] from Sequence 7. It had its limits, and overdrawing Sequence 3's [Degeneration] was its final "elegy".

From now on until he is promoted to Sequence 0, Edward will no longer be able to enjoy the "Advanced Subscription" benefit.

Chapter 569 Humanity

Are you disappointed?

Of course he was disappointed, but this was an established fact and there was no way to change it. Edward quickly adjusted his mindset and calmed down to feel the progress of the digestion of the two potions.

The Wanderer's potion was only digested a small part in advance, which surprised him a little. He thought that since he had been running back and forth between the two [worlds] many times, it could be considered as "wandering" in advance, but it turned out not to be.

The Deconstruction Scholar Potion was also partially digested in advance, and it is not yet known what was done before that caused it to be digested.

But at least it doesn't start with double "0", which is good news.

Then, we need to summarize the rules for playing the two potions as soon as possible.

At this moment, he suddenly heard high and low screams, mixed with the sharp scratching sound, which made the spirituality around him boil. The bright star worms once again drilled out of his skin, trying to break free from his body.

He covered his ears with difficulty and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

Endless gray mist suddenly surged into his sight.

He saw the gray fog directly, and the ancient and majestic palace above the gray fog.

That mysterious space was trembling slightly.

...

Trier,

In the Boulevard area, an old man was lying in a small wooden house, covered with a blanket and warming himself by the fire. He tilted his head slightly, pressed the monocle on his right eye, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an interesting smile:

"It's Sefirah Castle."

Backlund,

In the northwest villa, Pales, who was smiling as he watched his great-grandson Mobet being pulled by the ear and scolded by the female elf, was suddenly startled and looked towards the southeast:

"Is it the president?"

In the secret palace on the main peak of Honachis,

A man with dark eyes full of vicissitudes of life and tufts of thick black hair on his cheeks, giving people a contradictory feeling of being both old and young, both rational and crazy, raised his head slightly.

The madness in his pupils slightly diminished, and he murmured a single word from the depths of his throat: "Source Castle."

In the spiritual world.

The seven lights of the spiritual world were flashing with all their might, and the entire spiritual world seemed to be boiling, as if welcoming the return of the Lord of the spiritual world.

In the star realm.

The residence of the Seven Gods, which had been peaceful for many years and the eternal and unchanging kingdom of God, was also slightly disturbed.

…

A pristine island in the misty sea.

The corpses of those strange creatures, which were kneeling around a center layer upon layer as if worshiping gods, suddenly began to twitch violently.

They seemed to be pulled by some invisible force and slowly closed towards the center. The surface of their skin began to melt, and after touching each other, they gradually merged together.

More than ten minutes later,

All the corpses disappeared, leaving only a bright red flesh ball the size of an adult in the middle. The surface of the flesh ball was covered with hideous blood vessels and tendons, beating from slow to fast.

Inside the meat ball, the breath of life grew stronger and stronger, and a strong heartbeat sound of "thump, thump" was emitted.

At this time, the crimson moonlight in the sky quickly deepened and thickened, and its outline quickly became fuller. After just one or two seconds, it turned into a full moon, a blood-red full moon!

A few days later,

The mysterious world has once again ushered in the blood moon!

The blood-colored moonlight scattered all over the sky seemed to be attracted by some kind of force and was injected into the meat ball on the primitive island. ′1-3\3,t·x_t..?c/om′

It started to expand.

The blood vessels and tendons became more and more obvious, which was terrifying.

The heartbeat inside the meat ball became louder and louder.

until,

"Chi——"

A crack appeared, and the swollen flesh ball seemed to have found a channel for release. Blood gushed out from the crack, and the flesh ball quickly shriveled up, leaving only a thin layer of skin.

After a while, a fist-sized bulge appeared under the skin. After a while of wriggling, it crawled out from under the skin - it was a red heart.

It struggled to stand up, as if gazing at the blood moon in the sky. It rolled forward, cut through the air and entered the spiritual world.

...

Rune, Jianhai County.

In the gathering place of a branch of the Abraham family, the successive appearances of blood moons caused great pain to all the members of the family who took the apprentice potion and became extraordinary people - the higher the sequence, the more intense the pain.

Just a few days ago, during the blood moon, two members of the family with Sequence 5 quickly lost control and turned into monsters. If they had not been discovered in time and killed with the seal, this branch of Abraham would have perished that night.

As a result, just a few days later, another blood moon arrived.

Is it God's will to destroy our Abraham family?

Just when everyone was in pain and despair, in a clean and tidy room, a tall and well-proportioned girl with long dark brown hair, blue pupils and a heroic look was lying on the floor in pain. Her nails were growing wildly and she was scratching hard on the tables and chairs, trying to relieve the pain at the moment.

Unfortunately it's useless.

She could only feel her sanity being devoured by madness bit by bit, feel the changes in her body becoming more and more obvious, and feel death approaching step by step.

At this moment, a crack appeared in the air in front of her, and a red heart emerged from the crack. Then, under the girl's horrified gaze, it turned into a residual shadow and entered her mouth, sliding down her esophagus into her stomach.

"No! Don't!"

She felt a tearing pain in her stomach. Although she couldn't see it, she knew clearly that it was the heart that had cut through her stomach and escaped.

The next second, her left chest felt as if it was burning with fire, with severe pain and burning. The girl's black pupils quickly turned blood red and her body began to twitch violently. However, her abnormalities in the body, such as her wildly long nails and the keratinization of her skin, were recovering rapidly.

"ah!!!"

A groan came from her throat and her body suddenly stiffened.

The blood-red full moon in the sky became full again and then incomplete again, which meant that this blood moon had come to an end.

A few minutes later,

The girl moved her arms and slowly supported herself to sit up. She looked down expressionlessly, then stretched out her hands and looked at them again, muttering, "You took so much trouble to give birth to me, and you only found me such a fragile body?"

"Oh, you still want me to help you find that man..."

The girl raised her lips and smiled. "After all, you are just a madman who only knows how to gather everything by instinct. Now that I have successfully separated from you, how can I go back and become a part of you?"

"I should be thanking that man. If he hadn't used that strange ability to make you suffer from your own polluted power and become pregnant...how could I have been born?"

"In a sense, he should be considered my 'father'."

Da da da.

There were hurried footsteps, and a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties hurriedly opened the door and shouted:

"Are you okay, Christine?"

...

An uninhabited island in the turbulent sea.

After seeing the ancient palace above the gray fog and feeling the slight tremor of the mysterious space, Edward felt that he and Sefirah Castle seemed to have some kind of deeper, invisible connection that was difficult to accurately grasp.

It was as if, at this moment, he had truly become the master of Sefirah Castle.

"But..."

Edward had a strange expression on his face. "Now that Sefirah Castle has recognized me as its master, what should Klein do in the future?"

It was obvious that in the future, when Klein bound Sefirah Castle, it was ownerless.

But I have never had the slightest interest in becoming the Lord of Mysteries, and it is impossible for me to take the risk of being possessed by the Heavenly Lord to shoulder the burden of doomsday.

Could it be that... the future has been changed by me?

Or is this actually a parallel universe from another timeline?

wrong!

Edward denied it calmly. No matter according to the "settings" of the time converter or its actual use in the mysterious world last time, it was impossible for parallel time and space to exist.

As for changing the future...

The things that were done before to digest the potion may indeed produce some unexpected chain reactions, but these can all be covered up by "fooling" time.

However, the next promotion ceremony seems to involve a large range, which will inevitably cause changes that cannot be concealed or reversed, which may directly lead to a future collapse.

Familiar people and familiar things may no longer appear or happen, and even Klein, Audrey and others will be affected.

Thinking of this, he frowned: But... I don't have a better choice. My current strength is still too weak, and I must be promoted to a higher sequence as soon as possible. As for the losses that may be caused by this, I can only find ways to reduce and avoid them.

If it is unavoidable, it may be a necessary sacrifice.

In just a few seconds, all the abnormalities disappeared. Edward did not delay any longer and immediately ended the summoning and returned to Sephira Castle.

Before he even sat down on the bronze chair, Amon's voice came over: "You were promoted so quickly, congratulations."

"Your current sequence has surpassed mine. Would you like to consider letting me out and giving me a good lesson with your real ability?"

"Need not."

Edward's tone was cold.

"You have now become the true master of Sefirah Castle. This should be what the main body is most happy to see, because in this way He can steal your fate and let you bear the price, and He will inherit Sefirah Castle."

"Then it depends on whether He has the ability."

"…"

Amon was silent for a moment, then he looked Edward up and down carefully with his monocle, and said in surprise: "Your condition... seems to be a little strange."

Edward raised an eyebrow: "What?"

"Although one's humanity will be lost at a faster rate after reaching Sequence 3, this takes a certain amount of time. For someone like you to suddenly lose most of his humanity just after reaching Sequence 3... Heh, that's not normal."

"I'm missing most of my humanity? Oh, that's nonsense."

Amon laughed. "You may not trust me on other things, but I am a professional in this area."

"…"

Edward's brows furrowed as he heard this. He quickly recalled his words, actions, and thoughts after he was promoted to Sequence 3, and soon realized that something was wrong.

Too rational.

Generally speaking, "rationality" is not a bad thing most of the time, but it is different if it is linked with "human nature" - especially in the mysterious world, the more rational one is, the weaker one's human nature is.

Could it be that what Amon said was true?

But why is this happening?

...It can't be that he is using [Madman on the Right] to inject the negative effects of humanity into Amon, right?

Amon has some humanity left, but I don't?

Chapter 570 What is a [Spiritual Mage]?

Amon laughed and said, "It seems that you have also found the problem? Do you want to ask me for advice? Maybe I can help you."

Edward tapped his fingers on the table a few times and said calmly, "Speak."

"Oh, your tone doesn't sound like you're asking for advice at all."

"Then don't say that. Actually, I think the current situation is pretty good."

"Oh, you better mean it."

Amon said, "In fact, I have also been worried about my lack of humanity, so I split myself into multiple clones and let them play the game of catching thieves together. If they are caught, they will be devoured."

"So everyone started running around under the drive of death, and their humanity was greatly enhanced. Now I go find them one by one and devour them, taking the humanity they release as my own. Isn't that simple and interesting?"

Edward smiled indifferently, "Won't this only make you more afraid of death?"

"What's wrong with being afraid of death? It's better than becoming a paranoid person who is fearless for the trend of His times and His highest ideals, and is even willing to sacrifice himself at any time, right?"

Amon said as he jumped repeatedly in the cage, "Well, well, why don't you learn my trick?"

"I am not a thief, so I cannot create different clones like you."

"Oh, yeah, that's a shame."

He spread his wings like hands and laid on the cage, "Then there is only one way."

"explain."

"Let me out and let me steal the ownership of Sefirah Castle from you." Amon narrowed his eyes and said, "I think Sefirah Castle is the only thing that can cause you problems in such a short time. It's better to leave this deceptive thing to me!"

"I'll take the responsibility for you!"

As he spoke, he straightened his body, as if he was about to join the party.

"Need not."

Edward's refusal was simple and clear.

After chatting with Amon for a while, he roughly figured out the reason why he became like this - it had nothing to do with Sefirah Castle, but was caused by traveling through those memories during the promotion process.

In the memories of others, even if Edward was not a god, he was an existence infinitely close to Sequence 0, which was inherently rare in humanity. Every time he traveled through time during his promotion, Edward became closer to the image in the memories or imaginations of others, which led to him becoming what he is now.

No wonder the Seven Gods later decided to cancel the specific statues and adopt the form of holy light. The faith of believers is not only the anchor of the gods, but will also subtly change the gods.

Edward now realized it in advance.

However, now that we know the crux of the problem, how do we solve it?
