Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 42 Conjectures about the Way of Judgment

"Huh, I'm really tired."

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur withdrew his gaze from staring at the star where the lamp god was, and leaned against the back of his chair, closing his eyes and thinking about what he had just gained.

After whipping the lamp god twice at the beginning, he found that about half of his spirituality remained, so he wanted to experiment to see if he could directly affect the wishing lamp.

This also led to the scene that Bernadette saw when she opened the door.

He didn't want to conflict with Bernadette for the time being, and the loss of spiritual power was accelerating. When Bernadette made a move to strengthen the seal, he left and returned to the Hall of Stars.

After tonight's testing, he has determined that the current lamp god is not a threat to him.

For more than a month, he has taken time out every night to whip the lamp god. Apart from testing whether the lamp god has the ability to fight back now, he has another attempt.

Now there are only about 1368 years left before the prophesied doomsday of 19.

During these 19 years, he wanted to be promoted to Sequence 1, and establish a kingdom to become the new Dark Emperor. The time was really rushed.

Especially in the ceremony of becoming a god for the Black Emperor, it will definitely take him more than ten years!

He remembered that the Black Emperor's ritual of becoming a god was:

Owning a country of one's own, closely linking one's own name with the title of emperor, has become common sense among the people.

It is also necessary to establish a set of strict and complicated rules that violate the normal situation, including architectural styles, customs and habits, and so on.

Then there are still nine pyramid-like mausoleums to be built. After secretly entering one of the mausoleums, with the participation and approval of most of the people, they are scattered in corresponding sacrificial ceremonies in different cities, and consume the magical medicine of Sequence 0.

Only by resisting madness and maintaining reason can one succeed in being promoted to Sequence 0 Black Emperor.

Becoming a Dark Emperor is hard, especially not long after the previous Dark Emperor failed.

Jumping to the adjacent trial path is a great option, then.

Because he speculates that the time required for the godhood ceremony of the trial path Sequence 0 judge will be shorter than that of the Black Emperor.

His speculation mainly comes from the known rituals of becoming a god in several ways.

such as:

Wrong path: Becoming a Sequence 0 mistake is to replace someone else to become a god in the ceremony of becoming a god.

Storm Path: To become a Sequence 0 tyrant, you must have 10,000+ followers who surrendered due to fear, then challenge a god, and survive successfully.

Red Priest Path: If you want to become a god, you must set off a war that sweeps the continent and win it.

Visionary approach: Let the development of the times conform to your own expectations, and then at key points, within the prescribed trend of the times, take magic potions and be promoted.

Other references to apotheosis include Eternal Sun, God of Knowledge and Wisdom
The sun, the white tower, and the tyrant became gods after the same event, so it can be inferred that their godhood rituals should also involve the power of the gods.

From these rituals of becoming gods, a relatively credible conclusion can be drawn. The rituals of becoming gods are generally related to their respective names corresponding to sequence 0.

Based on this, Hastur tried many times to speculate on the god-making ceremony of the Sequence 0 judge of the trial path.

The judge's ascension ceremony is very likely to be: to judge the crimes committed by other gods and make them obey the judgment!

Apart from judging the existence of the god level, Hastur can't think of what else the Sequence 0 judge can judge for the time being.

Judging a true god in Sequence 1 and making that true god obey the judgment, the difficulty and personality are enough to support a new true god.

After all, the crime of judging the true god is tantamount to shaking the anchor of the true god's belief.

In this case, if someone successfully ascended to the god position, there must be a god who will go crazy or even fall due to the chaos and shaking of the anchor of belief.

Hastur reasonably suspects that the reason why Sequence 0 does not appear in the path of judges is probably because the seven righteous gods do not allow it.

In their past history, there are definitely many evil things committed, because evil and good have never been a moral issue that the gods need to consider.

Especially the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the Eternal Sun, who eats the ancient sun god.

If there are not two cards of judgment and justice in the 22 Tarot cards, then he believes that the justice card should belong to the path of judgment, not the path of audience.

Righteous audience... that's as weird as it sounds.

A just trial... that's very pleasing and reasonable.

Of course, all of this is just Hastur's personal guess. He only dared to think about these things when he was in the Hall of Stars. In reality, he would not dare to offend the true God.

If his speculation comes true, then he has a very good chance of becoming a god in the future.

When Amon and the Fool began to compete for the Lord of Mysteries, Adam became a god as a dreamer, imagining half a step of the power of the past, and sealed the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Three Gods of Eternal Blazing Sun, and let them It is impossible to leave the Kingdom of God in a short time.

At this time, if he can become the Prince of Sequence 1 Sequence Killer, and he can gather three Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics and Uniqueness of the Judgment Path, then he can take this opportunity to judge the true god!

I believe that both Amon and Adam are happy to see the results of the trial of the three true gods. If he makes good friends with the Evernight Goddess again, then more than half of his godhood ceremony will be basically completed.

If it doesn't work, the Hall of Stars can invite the old days to hold a meeting with the Outer Gods, choose an Outer God, and judge him. I believe that the existing seven righteous gods will not stop them.

Genie is a very suitable choice.

Sealed in the magic lamp of wishing, the existing power is limited, and he is an outer god involved in the trial and the path of the black emperor, there is really no more suitable candidate than him.

Furthermore, there is another possibility that the god-making ceremony of the Sequence 0 judge may be related to enlightenment, rules, and order.

Anyway, smoking the lamp god's whip and educating him on trial, in the long run, may allow him to perform the role in advance.

Just like Klein walking faster and faster in the later stage.

In the short term, it is necessary to test the lamp gods. Only by testing the authority of the Hall of Stars can they be brought here for a meeting.

Moreover, the Genie is an existence at the top of the Judgment and the Dark Emperor's path, and sooner or later he will be an enemy. It is very reasonable to whip him, and it can also take advantage of it to cheer up the mood. Why not do it?

There must be adventures, but in the mysterious world, which choice does not require adventures?

Hastur quietly pondered about related issues, and the starry sky above his head sprinkled brilliant brilliance, adding a sacred and immortal aura to him.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to wait a little longer.
When he uses the second chain of order to formulate a new rule, and then pulls the lamp god to the Hall of Stars, this is double insurance.

But for the second rule, he has no idea yet.

After thinking for a long time, Hastur didn't leave the Hall of Stars until he felt a bursting pain in his head.

When he fell into a drowsy sleep, he seemed to see a chain of order glowing with stars merged into his right arm.

In a daze, that chain of order can also transform into different weapons, allowing him to drive.

……

"Sure enough, I'm so tired that I can't even dream so vaguely."

Hastur woke up early in the morning, patted his swollen head, and lay on his back on the quilt for about ten minutes before getting up.

Get out of bed, simply move your fists and feet, and you can really feel the powerful strength contained in every inch of your body.

Crouching down in a horse stance, and punching straight out, it was really a bit of a hollow sound.

With a light jump in the room, he could easily jump more than two meters high, and almost hit the roof. Fortunately, his hands supported the roof in time, so no accident was caused.

"Tsk, if you go to the Olympics with such a body, you can at least win one or two gold medals, right?"

In the room, Hastur gradually adjusted to his power surged by the barbarians at this moment.

Picking up the usually heavy cane and swinging it twice, it is obvious that it becomes much lighter, just like holding a plastic stick.

"Weapons suitable for barbarians should be heavy weapons such as mace and sledgehammer, right?"

Hastur imagined that kind of scene, holding a big hammer in his hand, and smashing it with a hammer, he smashed through even people and houses!

If this was on the ancient battlefield, he would definitely be a fierce general!
Hastur thought about it, and felt that it was too bullying.

Until now, he has the feeling of being an Extraordinary, surpassing ordinary people, possessing something extraordinary.

After staying in the room for another 10 minutes, Hastur left the room to go out to wash and have breakfast.

His appetite was much larger than usual, and his digestive system might have evolved along with it when he was promoted to a barbarian.

"..."

Butler Neil looked at Hastur, who was eating a lot today but trying to maintain an elegant appearance, with a silent expression on his face.

After breakfast, Hastur did not go to Backlund University to study. He had asked for leave a few days in advance to serve as an adaptation period.

Come to the study, sit at the desk, take out a blank sheet of paper, and prepare to sort out the rules of playing a barbarian.

The difficulty for him to play the role of a lawyer lies in reciting and remembering those tedious provisions. As for distorting the law, using the law for his own benefit, and the core points of the law conforming to the tide of the times, it is not difficult for him.

After all, the laws he knows have surpassed this era. Even if he is not a legal professional, he still knows a lot of modern laws under his influence.

Especially after an extrajudicial lunatic who was good at popularizing science using Zhang San as an example appeared, he also listened to a lot of lessons.

Playing the barbarian made him a little bit more difficult.

His current status is aristocrat, and aristocracy is a symbol of etiquette and elegance, which are simply two extremes with barbarians.

What is a barbarian?
If you are indecisive, you will be served with a big stick, instead of stopping and patiently telling you the facts and reasoning.

They are the opposite of rules and order, often colliding, ignoring, and smashing rules and order.

The powerful force makes them not need to be bound by the rules, they go their own way, regardless of the rules of the game set by the outside world.

At the same time, they are also representatives of brainlessness and low IQ.

There is another kind, when they are rejected by mainstream ideas, they will naturally be called barbarians.

Hastur patiently summed up the main points of playing a barbarian. Although it is not necessarily correct, it is generally in this direction.
