Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 364: Promoted to Mystic
According to some information Odysseus obtained from inside the ruins, some time before the "Prime Creator" awakened, "Tianzun" and "God" seemed to have entered an active period.

Odysseus doesn't know the situation of "Tianzun" yet, but from what he learned today about human beings' research on "savior" and "God", he felt that it was arranged.

Why was the "Savior"'s body not found after two thousand years of disappearance, but was discovered shortly before the "Origin" awakened?

So were some of the subsequent research influenced by "God", or were they simply scripts "designed" by Him?

Odysseus guessed that since "Tianzun" also showed signs of awakening, these two old days might have entered a relatively active stage ahead of time.

In other words, a few years before the "first" awakening, human governments had already noticed the existence of extraordinary beings and began to pay attention to the research of extraordinary powers.

This is also reasonable, because some information discovered by Odysseus today shows that shortly after the research on Easter Island began, some magical phenomena appeared all over the world.

For example, in Chernobyl, a huge crater suddenly appeared. Or, oil suddenly seemed to come alive and started killing people.

This further proves that the "initial" awakening at that time was a process, but most people were not aware of this process.

After reviewing the clues and information obtained, Odysseus roughly had a timeline for this matter.

The cause of the incident was that, faced with the rise of the East, the West found that it could not stop it head-on and began to have evil ideas.

It happened that at this time they discovered the remains of the "Savior" Jesus, and then conducted a series of research.

While the research was going on, some mysterious events began to occur around the world. At this time, the West received news that the Eastern deity "Tianzun" seemed to be awakening.

So the research institute on Easter Island became a little anxious and started to conduct some radical research. As a result, they failed to awaken the "savior", but directly awakened "God", and then caused "The Beginning" to wake up early.

Of course, it is not ruled out that all this is the "original" arrangement.

After making guesses and summaries, Odysseus began to think about promotion.

At this point, the main and auxiliary materials are all available, as well as the blood of mythical creatures required for the ritual. All that's left is to digest the potion to advance.

At present, there is nothing important happening in either Wotai State or Cruz Island. Odysseus plans to use this time to study the drop of blood and adjust his condition for promotion.

With a simple plan in mind, Odysseus used "meditation" to enter the "wilderness of knowledge". He had been very busy some time ago and had not had time to continue writing "The Book of Astrology". He planned to finish the book today.

……

Adonis, the special envoy of Duke Bowen, the Interior Minister of Renburg, set out from Azshara.

His mission this time was to secretly investigate the situation in Wotai Province, determine whether the bandit problem had been completely eliminated, and examine Odysseus's status in the minds of the people.

Adonis knew very well that his mission was actually to find evidence to prove that Odysseus's power in the state of Votai had reached a point where it was difficult to control. Only in this way could the Lenburg government find an opportunity to revoke Odysseus's position as governor.

After getting off the train in Solothurn State, Adonis went to learn about the security station set up by Votai State here. At the same time, he had already thought of the first crime for Odysseus: to exert influence on the surrounding states.

Then Adonis took a carriage to the state of Votace, and along the way he asked his subordinates to look for information about the people's opposition to Odysseus's rule.

He saw that Odysseus wiped out the bandit army so quickly, and there must have been a lot of massacres. The two dead barons were the best examples.

But after asking around for a long time, the subordinates found that no one opposed the new governor's rule.

Even the remote mountain villages praised the new governor.

Because the new governor started building a large number of water conservancy projects across the state last month.

The construction workers were recruited from various villages, and the villagers initially earned a salary.

The completed water conservancy projects have brought them practical benefits and increased grain production.

Adonis fell silent after hearing these reports, because he really didn't want to fabricate charges in this regard. At the same time, he was also very clear that Odysseus was a very competent governor among the governors of Lenburg.

Unlike Feynaport, the grain production in Lund is mostly only enough for domestic consumption, and in many years it has to import grain.

The world's largest food exporter is Feynaport and its colonies, but Lenburg and this country are hostile to each other and can only barely maintain normal international exchanges.

This makes it difficult for Lundberg to buy food at very cheap prices, which can easily lead to instability in the country's food prices.

However, the governors of each state focus their main energy on developing business, because the development of business and industry is their important evaluation criteria.

So there are few governors who attach so much importance to agriculture.

As he continued forward, Adonis heard someone shouting in the distance, "Everyone, get out of the way! The mountain is opening!"

Adonis stopped the carriage and planned to take people to the construction site to take a look after the explosion of the mountain was over.

When he was in Azshara, he heard that Odysseus was building a railway, and the railway departments from Duke Bowen to Lenburg were not optimistic about this railway.

First of all, the funding and technical issues are difficult to solve. Because Wotai State is mountainous, the manpower for road construction is also a big problem.

Since he came to investigate the problems in Votai State, Adonis would definitely go and take a look, because there would definitely be problems of forced labor and poor working conditions on the railway.

After waiting for more than half an hour, there was still no explosion.

Adonis had seen the scene of tunnel digging during railway construction. First, holes were drilled, then explosives were buried, and finally the tunnel was blasted and the rocks were cleared.

However, the explosion sound he remembered never appeared, so he took his subordinates to the top of the mountain to check.

On the other side of the mountain is a busy railway construction site. Workers use horse-drawn carriages to transport crushed stones from the gravel plant to the designated railway line, then lay sleepers, cover them with stones, and finally connect the sleepers to the rails with large screws.

The whole process was orderly, and the workers used many tools that Adonis felt were very unfamiliar.

For example, workers laying rails and sleepers used a machine that looked like a small crane.

But Adonis did not understand how the machine worked because he did not find a steam engine around.

No large steam engine was found at the gravel yard, and the gravel crushing process did not seem to be entirely done by hand.

As for the situation of digging a tunnel in the mountain, it was even more magical. A worker was seen sitting on a large machine on the side of the mountain, and the large machine emitted a small silver-white light.

This ray of light actually passed through the mountain and appeared on the other side of the mountain.

The light that passed through the mountain had dimmed a lot, but it was still very sharp, and all the trees it touched were cut open with ease.

A piece was quickly cut off, and from the outside it looked like a stone about the size of an adult's forearm.

This means that a piece of rock of this large area has been cut off from the inside of the entire mountain.

At this time, the small silver-white light on the large machinery disappeared, and the operator blew the whistle to indicate that it was safe.

Two other workers stepped forward and unlocked a thick metal lever on the large machine.

The mechanical rod slowly extended forward and pushed the cut stones out of the mountain.

The design of this mechanical rod is very special. Two workers can screw on a new mechanical rod from the back of the large machine, which will make the mechanical rod longer and push out more rocks.

On the other side of the mountain, there were already people guarding there, two people in a group, holding a device that also had a silver-white glow. When the thick stone was pushed out to a section of two or three meters, it was cut off easily like cutting cheese.

The carriage had already been parked not far away, and workers used small lifting equipment to load the cut stones onto the carriage and transport them to the gravel yard.

The whole operation stunned Adonis and others, as they had never seen a tunnel mined in this way.

After watching for more than ten minutes, Adonis came to his senses and realized that Odysseus was using his extraordinary power to dig a tunnel!

Then questions popped up in his mind: Are those operators all extraordinary people?
Would an Beyonder do such work?
These questions obviously could not be answered by just looking, so Adonis asked his subordinates to find out the information.

But before he reached the construction site, he was stopped by the security team.

Adonis's subordinates only learned some information after giving him money and cigarettes.

It is said that these novel machines were designed by the new governor.

It only takes three days at most to dig a one-kilometer tunnel.

The key is that even if they work day and night, only a dozen workers are needed to complete a shift. Because digging tunnels saves a huge amount of manpower, the railway is laid very quickly. Some people even boldly predict that this railway may be completed in three to five months!
That night, Adonis couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The scene of digging the tunnel was all in his mind.

He seemed to see the door to a new world opening towards Lundberg.

If Odysseus were transferred from Votai State, these projects would most likely all stop, and the door to Lunburg would slowly close again.

After a sleepless night, Adonis came up with a bold idea.

On the second day, the group arrived in Wotai City and learned about the living conditions of the refugees, how the governor was suppressing bandits, the current situation in Wotai City, and other issues. Adonis' bold idea turned into a decision.

He planned to report everything he saw in Vautai to Duke Bowen and the King, and suggested that Governor Gar be transferred after the railway was completed.

If they didn't take his advice seriously, Adonis planned to publish everything he saw in Vote State.

……

Odysseus has locked himself in the studio for three days.

His studio is located in the mountainous area north of Wotai City, which was once a small town established by bandit troops.

After the large group of bandits was wiped out, this place was completely deserted.

So Odysseus established the Lenborg Institute here, which has several research institutes under it.

After the Pirate Conference ended, Odysseus first went to Chara Island to recruit a group of extraordinary people from the "universalists" path, and then because he obtained a large number of extraordinary characteristics from the "mystery peepers" path, he trained a group of "mystery peepers".

Then, Beavis, the third mate of the "Sword of Dawn", was responsible for establishing this research institute.

At this time, most of the people in the research institute were "Low-Sequence" Extraordinary people. They were sent to various construction sites to observe the Extraordinary tools designed by Odysseus, listen to the workers' demands, and find solutions for improvement.

At the beginning, when the extraordinary people from the "universalists" path heard that they were going to the construction site, they all planned to leave, but when they saw those extraordinary tools, they were reluctant to leave.

After working for a while, they were amazed at Governor Odysseus's genius design and devoted themselves to the work.

However, the extraordinary people on the "Mystery Peepers" path did not have such complicated psychological activities. They or their families lived a much better life after Odysseus arrived on Cruz Island or Wotai State.

They cherished the job opportunity that Odysseus offered them, and the salary for this job was indeed very high, 30 sachets per week, equivalent to 6 pounds per week.

It is difficult to find such a job in Votai State, and only Odysseus can provide such a high-paying job in Cruz Island.

Odysseus's studio is located in a large wooden house at the Lenburg Institute.

Because he had just moved in, the studio was still relatively empty, with only a few shelves and bookshelves, and not many tools on the workbench.

Odysseus has spent the past three days here studying the drop of blood of the mythical creature.

At the beginning of the research, Odysseus found that his research went very smoothly because of his previous experience in using the "Sage's Forehead Ornament".

On the surface, this drop of blood looks no different from normal blood. The only difference may be that even if it is left on the workbench for a long time, it will not dry up or deteriorate.

You only need a magnifying glass to see in this drop of blood the still-rolling streams of information contained therein.

Odysseus once asked Bernadette if she had any insights into the research process, but Bernadette said that he had to rely on his own ideas for research, and if he followed her research experience, it would not be of much help to Odysseus's promotion.

In other words, you have to explore this research process on your own.

So in the past three days, Odysseus has been observing this drop of blood using various methods.

First he tried to decipher the information streams, but he soon found that it was almost impossible. The information seemed to have a unique encryption method, and perhaps only the owner of this drop of blood could decipher it.

Or you need to know the owner of the blood very well to decipher this information.

Then Odysseus considered observing the drop of blood itself and studying the peculiarities of the blood of mythical creatures.

After three days of observation and reflection, Odysseus decided to conduct research in the second direction.

By observing under a microscope and comparing it with his own blood, he successfully discovered the characteristics of the mythical creature's blood.

These experiments and observations involved using bacteria and germs to corrode two drops of blood and observe their different reactions.

It also includes high-temperature heating, low-temperature freezing and other methods.

As for the method of observation, at first Odysseus only used a microscope, but he soon found that he could not observe anything using only a microscope, so he began to use a microscope in conjunction with the "Eye of Prying Eyes" to observe.

He soon discovered that when the blood of mythical creatures was attacked by pathogens or bacteria, illusory mystical symbols would immediately appear in the blood.

These occult symbols will quickly arrange themselves in a certain order, quickly killing germs and bacteria to ensure normal blood flow.

High temperature and freezing can also stimulate the mystical symbols in the blood, generating a mysterious power that can resist the effects of overheating or overcooling on the blood.

Odysseus even tried to simulate the "holy light", but this drop of blood might produce corresponding "extraordinary antibodies", making the high temperature and exposure of the "holy light" ineffective.

Finally, when Odysseus launched an attack with the Level 1 Sealed Object "Scepter of Disaster", he caused some damage to the drop of blood.

Through careful observation, Odysseus discovered that the blood of mythical creatures could also produce corresponding mystical symbols to resist the attack of the "Scepter of Disaster".

However, the attack of the Level 1 seal can effectively disrupt the arrangement process of these symbols and reduce the effects of these symbols.

After intensive experiments and observations, Odysseus began to summarize.

He believed that the power that produced those illusory mystical symbols was divinity.

In addition, only divinity can attack divinity!
This is something that is renewable, difficult to observe in normal times, but does exist.

Odysseus then divided his research into two topics: the first was how the divinity in the blood of mythical creatures was regenerated; the second was the relationship between divinity and the extraordinary and spiritual.

Odysseus designed a series of experiments and eventually came to further conclusions.

Through spiritual observation, he discovered that the spirits around the blood of mythical creatures were exceptionally active. He then determined through experiments that the divinity of the blood of mythical creatures was constantly replenished with power through the surrounding spirits.

Through a series of experiments, Odysseus realized that the extraordinary characteristics of the angelic level caused this drop of blood to undergo a qualitative change. This qualitative change could be combined with divinity to produce certain extraordinary effects.

In other words, the qualitative change that the divinity causes in this drop of blood is developing in the direction of the divinity's "expectations."

The characteristics of the cells and tissues of living organisms themselves are simply unable to resist the qualitative changes brought about by divinity.

Based on Odysseus’ previous research on the extraordinary and spiritual, he finally concluded that the divine nature is linked to the human body after qualitative transformation and obtains power from the spiritual;

Divinity can cause a qualitative change in Beyonder characteristics, and thus in the displayed Beyonder abilities;
Divine nature can replace extraordinary characteristics to a certain extent and react violently with spirituality under external stimulation;
Divinity is still an invisible and indescribable product. It seems to exist in a higher dimension and can have a drastic impact on the three-dimensional environment.

Observable information is merely a manifestation of the divine, while the divine essence is even more abstract. It exists and yet exists in the void. It can be a raging fire or a freezing ice. It cannot be described by real-world measurements like weight and temperature, yet it can influence the will and thinking of intelligent beings.

Divinity can bring about subversive changes to spirituality. Specifically, it can make many common things become unusual, such as severed limbs can be regenerated, and a handful of seemingly ordinary water can drown a normal person.

After completing these studies, Odysseus took a deep breath and felt that it would be difficult to conduct further research at his current level.

So he put away the drop of blood of the mythical creature that he had been struggling with for several days, sorted out his research results, opened the door and stretched.

It turned out that some of the wooden houses outside were on fire, some were struck by lightning, and some had completely disappeared.

There was no one in the entire institute, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

Odysseus called out twice before Beavis emerged from the distant cabin. "Captain, are you finally done with your research?"

Odysseus pointed to the surrounding wooden houses and asked, "What's going on with these wooden houses?" "I don't know either." Beavis smiled bitterly and replied, "On the third day of your research, some strange phenomena began to appear around your studio.

"Sometimes it would suddenly catch fire and be the kind of flame that couldn't be put out, or it would be struck by lightning, or it would just disappear.

"I sensed a lot of strange gazes spying on your research, but I knocked on the door for a long time without receiving a response, and I couldn't see what was going on inside through the window."

He paused and said, "I quickly went to Wotai City to invite the 'Mysterious Queen' over. She observed it for a while and told us that your research is too advanced, so it has caused some strange changes in the surrounding environment. She told us not to worry too much.

"I then evacuated all members of the institute and waited alone for your research to be completed."

This completely stunned Odysseus. He didn't expect that his research would cause such a reaction.

Then he felt a little scared, because he realized that his research in the past few days must have glimpsed the most mysterious part of the world, which led to the strange reaction.

If you are not careful, your experiments may turn you into a monster.

Fortunately, he is very cautious and never forces himself to conduct further research on any topic as long as it is beyond his ability.

Then Odysseus asked Beavis to move his studio to the top of a distant mountain and gave each staff member 50 pounds in compensation.

Then he used the "travel" to return to Wotai City and came to the governor's office.

Bernadette was half lying on the chair, looking at the documents in her hand lazily.

Seeing Odysseus arrive, she smiled and said, "It seems your research is very solid."

Odysseus sat across from her and asked, "What was your research topic at the time?"

Odysseus's research was complete, so Bernadette wasn't worried about affecting him. So, she asked, "What's the topic? Isn't it about studying the knowledge contained in the blood of mythical creatures? Whatever knowledge is in the blood, that's what we'll gain."

Odysseus was stunned and thought: My research seems to have gone a little astray.

Then he realized that there was nothing wrong with his research. After all, he had completely analyzed the drop of blood and gained a lot of advanced and vast knowledge from it.

The only problem was that he seemed to have designed the subject to be too difficult. Rather than studying the drop of blood itself, it was more like studying the nature of the mythical creature.

So Odysseus decisively ended the topic and asked, "What big things happened during my absence?"

"Bishop Casey of the Church of Knowledge in Wotai State came to see you," Bernadette said. "He said the king was going to transfer you from Wotai State, but it was just a promotion, and a three-level promotion.

"What the 'Knowledge Church' means is that they can only guarantee that you will not be demoted, but they cannot interfere with such job transfers.

"If you wish to stay in Wotai Province, then go to Azshara immediately. The Church of Knowledge will help you to make connections among the nobles."

Odysseus smiled and said, "As expected."

He paused and said, "I'd like to see what position the king has prepared for me. It would be best if I could be a high-ranking official."

But that is almost impossible.

Bernadette made no comment, but continued, "Roxanne, the clerk you hired, wants to speak to you alone."

Three clerks were recruited at that time, and it has been confirmed that two of them are spies for other organizations. Now only Roxanne is still in office.

Odysseus nodded and waited for Bernadette to continue.

Something else must have happened, because yesterday Odysseus's potion was suddenly completely digested.

At that time, he was concentrating on his research and did not actively digest the potion, so he guessed that this should be considered "passive digestion".

It may be that some of the things he had previously led had changed, which promoted the digestion of the potion.

As expected, Bernadette said, “Duke Bowen’s envoy came to Wotai State. It is said that he came to look for evidence of your crime, but after returning, he strongly suggested that you continue to serve as the governor of Wotai State.

“But the king and Duke Bowen did not adopt his advice, so he contacted the newspapers and made the changes in Vautai State public.

"This landed him and the newspaper's president in jail."

Odysseus realized that it was the people of Azshara who knew about the changes in the state of Wotai and further shaped Odysseus's mysterious image, so the potion was completely digested.

But he was a little confused: "Why did the special envoy do this?"

"I'm curious too." Bernadette said, "So I went to talk to him yesterday.

"He said he hoped Lundberg would seize the opportunity."

Odysseus was stunned for a moment and asked again: "Is he a noble, and a young noble?"

Could this be a member of the radical faction?
"Not really," Bernadette said, "He passed the exam and entered the Lenburg government, and was appreciated and valued by Duke Bowen.

"But he wasn't an official, just a senior staff member."

Odysseus nodded, which means that his parents were most likely ordinary people. It must be that during his investigation of Wotai State, he saw the current vitality of this state and the people-friendly policies of the state government, and did not want the governor's departure to put the people of this state into despair again.

This made Odysseus feel quite emotional: this is the courage shown by ordinary people in this world.

Now that Odysseus has returned, Bernadette's duties as acting governor have ended, and she returns to her residence to rest.

Odysseus first looked over the documents from the past few days, then asked the waiter to call Roxanne, the clerk, over: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Originally, Odysseus thought that Roxanne might be a spy for the "Moss Ascetic Order", but now that the attack by the "Moss Ascetic Order" has ended, she still has no intention of leaving.

Longzel had observed her before and hadn't noticed anything unusual.

This made Odysseus curious. Who sent Roxanne?

Roxanne smiled and said, "Mr. Governor, I would like to make a request of you."

Odysseus said, "Hmm," and then he said, "You go."

He realized that Roxanne was about to show her hand.

"I hope you will open a valley in the state of Vautai to Feynaporte." The other party then said seriously.

Odysseus was stunned. "Is this guy one of Feynet's men? The clerk who died first, whose name was... I forgot what it was, wasn't he from Feynet's military?
After a moment's thought, Odysseus immediately said, "Absolutely impossible!"

If he really agreed, it would be an act of treason. As long as he was still the governor of Wotai, the saints of the royal family of Lenburg would probably be able to detect such an action.

Moreover, he had just basically resolved Fenaporter's infiltration into Lenburg, and then he reintroduced Fenaporter's forces. This was boring.

Since he had already broken up with Feynaporthe, Odysseus no longer had any hope for them.

"Don't rush to refuse," Roxanne continued, "My statement just now might not be accurate. To be precise, it's not open to Feynaporte, but to the Church of Mother Earth."

Odysseus was stunned: Is this a spy from the Mother Goddess Church?
He thought he had no grudges against the Mother Goddess Church, so why would the Mother Goddess Church send people to keep an eye on him?

He pondered for a moment and said, "I must know. What is the name of that valley? Why do you want that valley?"

"In the valley north of Krishi Town," Roxanne replied. "Every year, a few to a dozen Black Threadflowers grow in that valley. They're the extraordinary material we need."

To be precise, it was the extraordinary materials needed to advance to Sequence 8 "Doctor". The Mother Goddess Church had previously supported Feynaporte's infiltration of Wotai State precisely for the extraordinary materials in that valley.

Odysseus thought for a moment before saying, "That ancient battlefield?"

"Correct."

The town of Clichy is close to the border between Feynaport and Lemburg, and the Clichy Pass is an important passage from Lemburg to the state of Vautai, with garrisons from both Feynaport and Lemburg.

In the past few years, the state of Wotai was in chaos, and the garrison guarding the mountain pass in Lenburg was disbanded. Only recently did Odysseus re-dispatched the garrison.

It's just that there isn't much commercial exchange between the two countries, so the roads here aren't very busy, let alone railways, there isn't even a paved road.

In the "Battle of Oath Breaking" hundreds of years ago, the Fenaport Army and the "Central-Southern Allied Forces" led by the two countries of Lenburg and Masi had repeatedly fought for this mountain pass, and many people died here.

Odysseus remembered that according to some information he had read, a large number of corpses from both armies seemed to be buried in the valley north of the town of Krishi.

Yet, that valley steadily grew extraordinary materials for the "cultivator's" path.

This made Odysseus sigh: No wonder the teachings of the Church of Mother Earth say that life absorbs nutrients from the earth like plants, slowly grows and flourishes, and finally declines, returns to the earth, and nourishes other life.

Odysseus thought for a moment before saying, "I will not allow the Fenaport government and military to enter the Wotai State again."

This does not include the power of the church.

"Thank you." Roxanne regained her smile. "The Mother Goddess Church will surely remember your kindness."

Odysseus asked, "Are you leaving too?"

"No, I like working in Wotai State." She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have never shown my faith in the Earth Mother Goddess in front of others. I won't cause you any trouble."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Okay, I wish you a happy work in Wotai State."

He felt that it would be a good idea to leave an informant from the Mother Goddess Church, as perhaps he would need this channel in the future.

Then Odysseus smiled and said, "But I won't be the governor anytime soon."

Roxanne said, "From what I've observed, you won't give up the power you've established in Wotai State. Even if you no longer serve as governor, the affairs of the state will still be run according to your intentions."

Odysseus smiled and said, "You are quite professional in intelligence work."

Roxanne continued, "One more thing. I hope to order a batch of submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles from you."

Although she didn't specify, it was definitely weapons ordered for the Feynaport government.

Odysseus did not refuse: "How many do you want?"

"1000 of each."

Odysseus quickly gave a quote: "Twenty pounds a pair, payable in gold pounds."

This price was 8 pounds higher than the price offered to the Feysac Empire for similar firearms, but after all, they were still in a hostile relationship with Feynaport, so it was good enough to be able to sell it to them.

Roxanne was obviously a little surprised that Odysseus agreed to this deal: "No problem."

For Odysseus, submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles can be sold to hostile forces. If they dare to use these weapons against Odysseus, Odysseus will tell them what fire suppression is.
Odysseus was not afraid of their imitation. The machine tools of this era were far less sophisticated than the ones Odysseus had created using the "wilderness of knowledge".

Therefore, the accuracy of the guns they imitated would be much worse than the originals, which was equivalent to giving Odysseus free advertising.

After the arms deal was concluded, Roxanne said goodbye.

Odysseus carefully considered whether the matter was handled properly. Because of the "War of Oath Breaking", although the official Beyonders of the Church of Knowledge and the Church of the Mother Goddess were not on adjacent paths, they were hostile to each other.

Since Odysseus has chosen to cooperate with the Church of Knowledge, he cannot openly cooperate with the Church of the Mother Goddess.

So as long as Roxanne's identity is not made public, there won't be any big problems.

Over the next two days, Odysseus carefully adjusted his condition and returned to the studio that had been moved to the top of the mountain to mix potions and advance to Sequence 4.

Looking at the materials on the workbench, Odysseus suddenly felt a little emotional. He didn't expect to be promoted to a demigod so soon. At this time last year, he was still a Sequence 9.

He then looked ahead to his plans after his promotion. Thinking that becoming a Sequence 4 would grant him divinity and allow him to do more, his resolve to advance became resolute.

After checking his preparations again, Odysseus took out the beaker and began to prepare the potion.

First, add the auxiliary materials, which are the "psychedelic red coral powder" that looks like it has star particles, the colorful and beautiful "wings of the phantom cockroach", the golden resin of the thousand-year-old pine, a grape with golden patterns, and a small piece of fine parchment.

Just by adding these auxiliary materials to the beaker, some reactions occurred. Although they were all solid, they showed signs of melting.

Next was the "Core Crystal of Psychedelic Red Coral" that Bernadette helped seal. It was a bright red bead surrounded by some misty air. Just one look at it would make people mesmerized and unable to take their eyes off it.

Finally, add the "Head Crystal of the Flowerbird Phantom Cryptoceras", which is a crystal that looks unreal, as if it can disappear into the void at any time.

After all the materials were added to the beaker, they began to react on their own and soon formed a ball of liquid that kept changing its shape.

Odysseus recalled the ritual required for advancement: completely analyzing a drop of blood from a mythical creature and gaining complex and vast knowledge from it.

The ceremony was completely over-fulfilled.

So Odysseus took a deep breath, picked up the beaker, and drank the potion.

When it was in his mouth and esophagus, Odysseus could feel the potion changing its shape on its own, which made him feel like he had swallowed a live mouse.

When the potion fell into his stomach, Odysseus felt as if his whole body exploded, his consciousness rose, and suddenly became a little blurry.

He seemed to be in an endless starry sky, walking forward, but it seemed that he would never reach his destination.

At this moment, a group of stars in the sky suddenly formed a very special mystical symbol.

Odysseus instinctively interpreted it as meaning "nothing" or "nothingness".

Suddenly, all the research and information about the "Gal Rune" appeared in Odysseus's mind, and he seemed to have regained control of his consciousness in an instant.

Odysseus looked at the mystical symbols in the starry sky again, and other stars also began to change, forming "Gal Runes" one by one.

After a certain arrangement, the starry sky finally formed a simple magic circle representing the "exit".

In a flash, Odysseus returned to the real world and back to his body.

He saw that his body was covered with a layer of occult symbols, and these symbols were some of the symbols he had observed when he was studying the drop of blood of the mythical creature.

Odysseus suddenly realized that his previous research results on the blood of mythical creatures were a kind of protection for his body and consciousness.

And the more in-depth the research, the more comprehensive the corresponding protection will be.

Through the process of promotion, Odysseus realized that the so-called divinity is the "Gal Rune".

In other words, the "Gal Rune" is a way to unlock divinity!

At this moment, Odysseus suddenly had a deeper understanding of divinity.

There are two levels of divinity: the physical level and the abstract level.

On a physical level, divinity can be understood as a special kind of spirituality. Divinity is not only produced by extraordinary materials of Sequence 4 and above. In fact, divinity can be utilized to a certain extent before becoming a demigod.

Odysseus also understood that his ability to "simulate" other pathways was actually a use of divinity using the "Gal Rune".

Because only divinity is diverse, or in other words, the extraordinary characteristics of diversity alone can only be a poor imitation of the abilities of other paths, and the effect will be discounted.

Odysseus's simulation of abilities from other channels can almost restore the original power of that ability.

This involves the abstract aspect of divinity. Odysseus believes that all divinity originates from the "original creator". As long as this "original" does not completely fall, and all gods do not completely fall, divinity will still exist.

Since divinity comes from the "beginning," theoretically, by utilizing divinity, one can use all avenues, including all the abilities mastered by the Outer Gods! However, the prerequisite is that it does not involve the corresponding authority.

Odysseus suddenly had a new understanding of omniscience and omnipotence.

(End of this chapter)
