On a primitive island in the misty sea, a priest with golden eyes in simple clothes walked out of an abandoned church. He looked forward calmly, and suddenly a piece of parchment and a feather pen appeared in his hand.

He thought for a few seconds, then wrote a sentence on the parchment at a moderate pace. But the next moment, the quill and parchment shattered and disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

Adam's eyes wavered slightly, and he murmured, "Then... let's wait a little longer."

In addition, the Outer Gods in the starry sky also sensed the change of the Lord of Sefirah Castle at this moment, especially Mr. Men, who was floating in the starry sky, looking down at the blue planet below, his eyes sometimes becoming rational and evil, and sometimes crazy but gentle: "Amon..."

The blood moon has come again.

Chapter 622 Ritual Completed

Inside Sephira Castle.

Edward collapsed to the ground, looking up at the changes in front of him. His eyes penetrated the lingering white mist and saw the mysterious space filled with "people" hidden in the deepest part.

The place was shaking constantly, and all the hanging "people" were shaking with it, as if they were about to fall to the ground at any time.

Amon stood with his hands on his bulging chest, and looked at the changes around him calmly through his crystal clear monocle, as if he was inspecting his own territory.

He didn't care at all that he had become a woman. To Him, gender didn't mean much.

When Sefirah Castle gradually returned to silence, Amon lowered his head slightly and looked at Edward and said with a smile: "Perhaps I overestimated the cost of carrying Sefirah Castle. I should have taken action earlier."

Edward supported himself with his hands and slowly sat up, "Congratulations."

"Congratulations?"

Amon laughed dumbly: "I took away your Sefirah Castle, and you actually congratulated me? Are you trying to please me, hoping that I can spare your life and become an angel under my seat?"

While speaking, He immediately parasitized Edward - when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

"no."

Edward said softly, "I told you a long time ago that I have no interest in becoming the Lord of Sefirah Castle. I just think it is useful."

"After being promoted to Sequence 3, becoming its true master was completely beyond my expectations, so now that it's been taken away, I'm actually relieved., Tian`Xi-Xiao^Said+徃~ .Hmm? Wrong? Content-"

"I congratulate you because you are no longer afraid of taking responsibility. Perhaps it's because God has given you a little bit of humanity, or maybe you have some attachment to this world, or maybe... you are not a person without humanity who is afraid of taking responsibility."

Amon laughed: "Then you may be disappointed. Amon is always that Amon..."

Edward looked at him quietly. "If you were given the choice of becoming the Lord of Mysteries or reviving the ancient sun god, which one would you choose?"

"Of course I..."

Amon blurted out, but stopped at his words.

He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "What a boring question."

Amon took two steps closer and said, "Right now, you should think more about yourself and what will happen to you."

"In fact, I suddenly feel that it might be better for you to become the Lord of Sefirah Castle and the Lord of Mysteries."

Edward suddenly grabbed at himself and stole the Time Worm that Amon was parasitizing, "But unfortunately, if that happens... the future will be a mess."

"What?"

While raising his questions, Amon once again stole Edward's thoughts and abilities, and parasitized him at a deeper level.

But the stolen thoughts were the words "madman on the right" that appeared one after another.

What's the meaning?

As soon as this thought came to Amon's mind, he suddenly felt a strong sense of being pulled away from his body. Everything in his sight was rapidly disappearing, and his body was also rapidly becoming transparent - was this Sefirah Castle rejecting me? !

Then, the Source Castle, which had just returned to silence, began to shake again.

From a distance, Amon saw Edward stand up. He just looked at him, and the expression on his face clearly showed that he had foreseen all this.

"!!!"

As the gray-white mist emerged from all directions and lingered in his sight, Amon suddenly realized something and asked four questions to the figure that was gradually submerged in the gray mist:

"You...already knew that I was the real body?"

"Have you anticipated what will happen today?"

"Did you plan all this?"

"What do you want to do?"

Edward stood in the magnificent palace, looking down at himself, and said calmly: "The answer is correct, but unfortunately there is no reward. ^Second, cockroach\section^Xiao+tax+wang+ -sin_Xin+Zhang·Jie?埂+Xin!哙?"

The next second, the gray fog dissipated.

Amon found himself standing alone in the astral realm, and the Source Castle, which had just established a connection with him for less than three minutes, was completely disconnected from Him.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Really... interesting."

"Oh? Amon? Why are you here?"

At this moment, a charming and beautiful voice broke the silence. Amon looked and saw a beautiful woman walking towards him. Her smile seemed to make everything pale in comparison, and even Amon was temporarily distracted.

The original witch, Chike.

...

weak.

The intense weakness is devouring me bit by bit.

This kind of weakness was completely different from the one he felt when his Sefirah Fort was taken away just now. The weakness from losing his Sefirah Fort only made him lose a "powerful tool", and he became an ordinary Sequence 3.

But the weakness at this moment was the actual loss of vitality - Edward clearly felt that he was moving towards death little by little.

This is the price of using [Madman on the Right] without the help of Sefirah Castle this time!

This is also the first time that the cost has been concretely manifested so far: it is no longer an indirect crisis caused by triggering some danger or disaster, but it is actually fatal.

Through the reversal of "Madman on the Right", the current Lord of Sefirah Castle was stripped of his identity - this person was also a powerful Angel King. Edward had of course already prepared himself mentally for this.

He staggered to the chair opposite the Fool's seat at the long table in the magnificent palace, slumped inside, and smiled:

Make a well-known event become false.

Done.

In order to complete the ceremony, Edward prepared a double insurance. The first was to use Amon's hand to deprive himself of his identity as the Lord of Sefirah Castle.

Becoming the Lord of Sefirah Castle was an event known to many high-ranking beings. When Amon stripped him of this identity, the fact that he became the Lord of Sefirah Castle had become a falsehood.

The second level was that after Amon became the new master of Sefirah Castle, he immediately used [Madness on the Right] to reverse the matter, once again making the "well-known" thing false.

Therefore, he was not sure whether the ceremony was completed because of the first level or the second level, but what was certain was that the ceremony to advance to Sequence 2 had been completed!

The idea of ​​using the fact that the Lord of Sefirah Castle was "well-known" to complete the ritual came to Edward in Sefirah Castle when he learned that Lilith was trapped in the mirror world and could not return.

When this idea first came to him, he tried to reverse the situation directly through "Madman on the Right" and tried to remove his identity as the Lord of Sefirah Castle, but it turned out that "Madman on the Right" failed.

If you think about it, you can understand that relying on the effect of Sefirah Castle's "grafting" to help oneself bear the cost of "Madman on the Right", but using "Madman on the Right" to deny that one is the Lord of Sefirah Castle, there is a certain paradox in it.

So he thought about it for a while before deciding on Amon.

The reason why Edward guessed that Amon was the real body was because when he tried to deconstruct Amon's monocle in Sefirah Castle, he found the wrong power of authority in it. The monocle on his right eye was made of wrong authority. Edward had doubts at that time:

Although every Amon wears a monocle and can use the power of error, the true uniqueness of error should be in the hands of Amon himself - if he gives it to the clone, isn't that just waiting for the clone to rebel?

Of course, this is just a guess.

But the subsequent divination confirmed this conjecture.

So Edward's plan began.

After that, during the daily "Mad Man on the Right", Amon thought Edward was still "injecting humanity" into Him, but in fact, it was paving the way for Amon's "escape from prison", quietly influencing His thinking little by little, and making Amon mistakenly believe that everything was within His plan and was controlled by Him.

Until the extraordinary characteristics of the Miracle Master (Mysterious Servant) appeared, which served as a signal - a signal that Amon decided to act.

But despite this, Amon was still too cautious: even if the Sefirah Castle was placed in front of him, He still wanted to get it for free, just like what He did to Klein in the original book, letting Edward help Him bear the fate and price.

So Edward used the previous time to obtain the erroneous authority by reversing the Sefirah Castle and accelerating the deconstruction (since the reversal was done within the Sefirah Castle, it could only work within the Sefirah Castle), stole Amon's uniqueness as a threat, forced Him into a desperate situation, and finally took the Sefirah Castle at all costs.

Edward certainly knew that this plan was full of dangers and unknowns.

But he had no better choice in the short term. Lilith was now in the dangerous mirror world and her life or death was uncertain. He had to advance to Sequence 2 as soon as possible to find her!

Even if... things didn't develop as he hoped, he could at least use [Madman on the Right] to force himself to die, and then revive again in his memory.

So this was just a crazy adventure - I was used to similar things when I played mentally ill characters.

As for the divination required to activate [Madman on the Right]...

Who stipulated that divination must involve throwing coins, using divination crystals or astrolabes? Every time I threw coins in front of Amon, it was just to mislead Him.

Of course, Amon knew that after reaching a certain sequence, he would no longer need to use props for divination, but the question was, what could he do with that knowledge? ——In fact, at the moment when Amon finished stealing Sefirah Castle, Edward could have reversed the situation with [Madman on the Right].

The reason for delaying time was that seeing that Amon was not in a hurry to act, Edward was willing to make the fact that "He" became the Lord of Sefirah Castle more "well-known" as much as possible.

Then, the moment Amon took action, the reversal was completed.

"call--"

Edward endured the discomfort all over his body and let out a long breath. His vitality was still slipping away, and he knew very well that if he continued like this, he would surely die!

It must be admitted that, so far, the cost of using "Madness on the Right" was completely beyond Edward's expectations. All he could think of now was to immediately advance to Sequence 2 - to fight against the continuous loss of vitality through a stronger sequence and a longer lifespan.

"It just so happens that I have done so much and taken such a big risk just for this moment."

He stood up with the help of the table and once again looked at the magnificent palace filled with gray fog. "Heh, could it be that after I forcibly tampered with the 'master' twice in a row, even Sefirah Castle got angry and didn't recognize me as its master again after Amon left?"

"Or do you want me to go through the process again next time I come up?"

But it took so much effort to restore Sefirah Castle to its ownerless state. If this happens again, what should we do next time?

So, this ending is pretty good.

Edward smiled and left the space.

Chapter 623 Promotion Sequence 2

Astral World,

The harvest kingdom of the Mother Earth Goddess.

As soon as Edward stepped into the land, he stumbled and fell to the ground. He simply turned over and lay among the wheat ears and rice.

Not long after, the Earth Mother Goddess appeared in his sight. She smiled faintly and said, "It's true that it's not that easy for Amon to succeed against you."

Edward forced himself to sit up. "Unfortunately, Amon has succeeded. Now I am no longer the master of Sefirah Castle, and I could be finished at any time."

The Earth Mother nodded slightly, "Your condition is indeed very bad."

Edward forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Mother Earth, I am no longer the Lord of Sefirah Castle, much less the 'Future Lord of Mysteries'. Can you still help me?"

"Oh, of course."

He immediately took out the extraordinary characteristic of the mysterious waiter and said, "Can you help me smash this extraordinary characteristic?"

"It's very simple."

"He" took over the Beyonder Characteristics and lightly squeezed it. With a distorted light, the Beyonder Characteristics that looked like a dark worm vortex suddenly broke into more than ten pieces and fell to the ground.

Destroying Beyonder characteristics is almost impossible for ordinary Beyonders, but for Sequence 0 gods, it is like crushing a piece of tofu.

Edward took another deep breath, picked up the Beyonder Characteristics scattered all over the floor, and then handed the Beyonder Characteristics of the Secret Servant to the Earth Mother Goddess: "Your Majesty, I don't have anything to give you, so take this as a token of your gratitude?"

Mother Earth said calmly: "It is of no use to me."

"Of course it worked."

Edward smiled and said, "Invest in the true Lord of Mysteries in the future."

The Earth Mother Goddess looked at him quietly for a moment, "I don't need to 'invest' in any future Lord of Mysteries. The difficulties I'm facing cannot be solved by the appearance of the Lord of Mysteries."

"Okay, thank you very much. If I can survive and find Lilith, I will definitely bring her to play with you."

A serene smile appeared on His face: "You are welcome anytime."

"Leave."

Edward didn't dare to waste time, and after a wandering he returned to the reality and came to a deserted island deep in the foggy sea.

He took a deep breath and took out the crucible and related materials: Spirit Bug, Star Bug, Time Bug, the extraordinary characteristics of the Planeswalker, and the extraordinary characteristics of the Miracle Worker that he had just acquired.

Everything was ready. Just as Edward was about to throw the Beyonder of the Planeswalker into the crucible, he suddenly thought of something. He took out a thousand paper cranes and a pen from his space pocket and wrote a simple sentence: "Help me get some more good luck."

After finishing writing, he put it in his arms and threw in the Beyonder characteristic that was like a quietly burning bright fire, and then added the three bugs from the Gou San family one by one. ~如?文¨徃￠ /嗯-错·內.内容′

Once these things came into contact, they quickly melted and blended together, rising in a grayish-white gas and quickly merging into a dark blue translucent liquid that sparkled with starlight.

Edward only took one more look and was immediately deeply attracted to it, as if he had passed through the magic potion and returned to the starry sky that he had only visited after many promotions. The twinkling stars, dotted in the boundless darkness, made Edward feel small, confused and desperate.

I feel like I'm going to be swallowed up by the universe in the next second.

Fortunately, at this moment, his spirit felt a sharp pain - not because it wanted to remind himself, but because of the "complications" brought about by the loss of vitality. In addition to the weakness of the body and the loss of vitality, his spirit also began to feel a sharp pain.

He quickly bit his tongue hard and regained consciousness.

At this time, the liquid in the crucible stopped boiling and began to condense quietly. The color became darker and the starlight became brighter.

Edward popped out the gold coin and did some divination. After confirming that the timing was right, he threw the extraordinary characteristics of the Miracle Worker, which was as transparent as a heart crystal, into the crucible.

When this extraordinary characteristic came into contact with the liquid in the iron pot, it was immediately absorbed into it, causing the darkness to condense instantly and become deep, as if countless eyes were opened at the same time, with starlight lit up in each eye, and then there was no reaction.

At this moment Edward's thoughts inexplicably slipped: children often say that the stars are twinkling, and now he really saw the "twinkling stars".

He waved his hand and the liquid in the crucible floated up. Then his eyes flickered for a few seconds and soon returned to calm. He took a slight breath and sucked the liquid in front of him into his mouth.

As soon as the potion slid into the stomach, it immediately split into countless cold "bugs" and swam towards every part of the body. Suddenly, Edward's spirit was torn into countless small pieces -

No, it's more than just spirit.

His body also fell apart in an instant, transforming into countless sparkling "stars".

The lights of each of these stars are first attracted by the sky above the dome. They can't wait to leave the earth and rush to the sea of ​​stars.

At this moment, black-gray smoke overflowed from every star. At first, it was like a "line" connecting all the star bugs that wanted to escape the starry sky, and then it quickly expanded and merged, gradually forming an obscurity that twinkled with starlight.

In each star worm, there emerged fragments of deconstruction, the deconstruction of the truth of "Intis", the deconstruction of Lilith's resurrection, the deconstruction of the rotten wooden door made by Mr. Gate and the Fallen Mother Goddess, and the deconstruction of "that person" in the mouth of the real creator.

Those so-called truths quickly converged, converged, and gathered together, and pieced together a complete result bit by bit.

It was not until this moment that Edward realized with horror that his previous interpretation and performance of the so-called "deconstruction of the truth of things" by the [deconstruction scholars] were actually inaccurate.

Deconstruction scholars deconstruct not the truth of things, but the essence of things.

Just like when we look at a person, he/she is not simply composed of water and carbon, but of cells, molecules, atoms... these are the true essence.

But...if that's the case, why can my Deconstruction Scholar potion be completely digested?

This thought went around in his mind, and suddenly he had a guess: Perhaps, all this is related to "the beginning"?

From the perspective of modern science, the essence of all matter is molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, etc., but the essence of the mysterious world is the beginning.

Everything is born from the initial division, and everything is also gathering for the initial revival.

The conspiracy of "Intis" involves Chike's original ambition to become...

Lilith's entry into the mirror world may also be related to the beginning.

The "original" in the body of the man mentioned by the true creator has awakened, and everything they have done is to fight against the original's revival.

So, I digested the potion by accident?

So if during this period of time, the events I deconstructed had nothing to do with the original events, would it be possible that I would lose control due to mistakes in my role-playing?

At this time, Mo Moran regrouped into Edward's original appearance. His mental consciousness also recovered as his body recovered, but he immediately discovered that something was wrong with his condition:

One was the stronger vitality of personal power and the indifference of human nature that he gained when he was promoted to Sequence 2. It carried the spiritual imprint of wildness, indifference, cruelty, madness, condescendingness, and no emotion at all. It quickly assimilated Edward's spirit, causing him to change his state uncontrollably.

The other is the continuous loss of the vitality of [Mad Man on the Right], which makes him feel the weakness and pain of body and soul, and the powerlessness to the passing of life, and drags him down from the indifferent and superior state of human nature - you are going to die, why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?

Therefore, in order to compensate for the latter's "dying" state, the former state continuously injects new vitality and extraordinary power into the latter, trying to make the two equal as much as possible, allowing his indifferent humanity to quickly return to normal.

"…"

Edward then remembered that if Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 demigods were still considered human, then Sequence 2 had completely deviated from the definition of human. In modern times, they were called angels, but in ancient times, "angels" meant "subordinate gods."

Therefore, when you reach Sequence 2, you must have an anchor point to help stabilize your humanity. Otherwise, at best you will lose your humanity, and at worst you may even go crazy and lose control.

In the original novel, Klein relied on the Tarot Club, the Scepter of Poseidon, and the natives of the Rorsted Islands to quickly stabilize his humanity. But Edward was basically alone in the past period of time. Who could he find to help him stabilize his humanity?

Even if he committed suicide again and used Bernadette's memory to revive, it would probably only last for a period of time. As time passed, he would still lose his humanity because he had no anchor point.

"Heh, it turns out that the side effects of [Mad Man on the Right] turned out to be a blessing in disguise."

Edward couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It was really self-mockery, because the loss of his vitality had not stopped, it had only slowed down a little, allowing him to hold on for a little longer.

"So I am neither dead nor alive now?"

Just as his condition gradually stabilized, he suddenly felt a burning pain on the back of his hand. Looking down, he saw the square mark on the back of his hand that looked like a "door" outlined by lines was emitting a faint light, and he didn't know what it meant.

He touched it gently, but felt nothing.

But what he was sure of was that at this time, he had officially been promoted to Sequence 2 and became an angel.

But this time he did not consciously go to the starry sky as before, nor did he need to push open the "door". He raised his head and looked through the sky, seeing the starry universe.

The next moment, the stars twinkled, and a stream of information from his advancement to Sequence 2 emerged in his consciousness:

[Sequence 2 Visionary]

Whatever the mind thinks is real.

Chapter 624 Entering the Mirror World

Edward's consciousness continued to read:

The Visionary's Extraordinary Abilities:

[Gate]: Transform yourself into a symbol and instantly travel to different planets and worlds. You can use the star worm to temporarily create a clone and appear in multiple places at the same time. (This is a summary based on existing data)

[Record]: Not only can it record extraordinary abilities, but it can also record scenes and people. It can directly transfer itself and the creatures within a certain range to the recorded scene, or let the recorded scene descend to the target's surrounding area, as long as the scene still exists. It can reproduce the recorded people and extraordinary abilities.

[Fantasy]: Through the collected "imagination" or one's own spirituality, one has the power to make fantasy come true.

Advancing to Sequence 2 gave Edward two and a half new abilities, one of which was [Record], which was a reinforcement of the recording ability he had acquired during the [Recorder] period.

One is the [Door], which not only gives Edward more powerful mobility, but also, like the other two families of the Gou San family, has an effect similar to that of "clone". However, his clone is not as good as a thief, let alone a fortuneteller's puppet. Its greatest function is to cooperate with the various extraordinary abilities recorded to complete a carpet-style coverage attack at the same time.

The second is [Imagination], which is the core ability obtained by this promotion to Sequence 2. Its usage rules are somewhat similar to the [Miracle] of a Miracle Master. One must first collect the imagination (wishes) of others, and then have the ability to make one's fantasy come true. Of course, spirituality can also be used as a "fuel" for fantasy, but relying solely on his own spirituality, what he can [Imagine] is actually quite limited, and can only be used as a "backup power source."

In addition, his other abilities were also strengthened due to his advancement to Sequence 2, especially [Stealing]. Sequence 2-level stealing had undergone a qualitative change, and its scope would be expanded to include destiny, identity, self-awareness, and Beyonder characteristics. It could be said to be quite powerful.

However, what Edward is most concerned about at the moment is not these, but the reinforcement obtained by [Deconstruction] when he is promoted, which can help him deconstruct the essence of the target faster and easier.

This was also the biggest reason why he was anxious to advance to Sequence 2.

Unfortunately, Edward had originally hoped to advance to Sequence 2 to fight against the loss of life from "Madman on the Right", but judging from the results, it was not as expected - he could only hold on for another three or two days.

"If the deconstruction takes longer than I can survive, maybe I can try [Imagination] for a while."

Having made up his mind, Edward continued to receive the remaining information about Sequence 1 from the potion:

[Sequence 1 Constructor]

Materials: Star Key Potion + Writer's Extraordinary Characteristics.

Ritual: Constructing a real and complete world

When Edward saw the Sequence 1 promotion ceremony, he was stunned: Constructing a real and complete world?

He couldn't help but think of the ceremony for a miracle worker to be promoted to a mysterious servant: building a town composed purely of secret dolls, and designing the destiny trajectory for each secret doll, allowing them to perform a sufficiently real picture of life through mutual interaction, and give birth to the corresponding area in the spirit world.

But many times, the less you say, the bigger the matter.

The mysterious attendant only needs to use the secret dolls to build a town. Of course, the more realistic, detailed and vivid the town is, the better the effect of the ritual will be. In a sense, it is also about building a "real world".

But at least it clearly states that this world is just a "town".

But what about me?

Just a simple sentence: a real and complete world.

There are different interpretations of this sentence.
