Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 167 Chapter 166 Church of Night
Through observations in Euclidean space, after spending some time customizing a dedicated 'bionic marionette' module for Zaratul, Tang released Zaratul and the ancient scholar Karls back.

"Collect as many high-level Beyonder traits as possible from the Diviner, Apprentice, and Thief pathways. Then, find a few Tricksters from the Secret Order and send them over."

Tang then added, "Those who are alive and have committed more sins will be given priority, not secret dolls."

There are quite a few cunning wizards in the secret order who have committed many sins. Without realizing that Zaratul and the ancient scholar Karls have "betrayed" them, even a cunning wizard known for his cunningness would find it difficult to escape capture by two ancient scholars of a higher order.

But if we capture a living Trickster, we don't need the Marionette... It's still a bit of a waste to use the knowledge fragments to repair the Marionette's spirit body and mass-produce spirit insects.

Using living, self-repairing magicians as a supply of spirit insects is just right for mass-producing yesterday's reappearance spells. There is no need to consume knowledge fragments, and there is no need to worry about the magicians causing any trouble here.

After all, there are quite a few secret dolls and "0" level sealed objects here, and there is also an old angel who is a thief strolling around.

Ah, as for what to do with the captured evil wizard... of course, lock him up in a room, give him some water and food every day, keep him not starving to death, then hang him up to split the spirit worm, kill the spirit worm, restore the spirit body, and then repeat the whole process of splitting the spirit worm and killing the spirit worm.

There is no need to worry about eating and sleeping, nor do you have to worry about being hung up as a secret puppet at any time. The never-ending theater comes with mass-produced food and a high-sequence status in the fortune teller path.

There is no need to worry about losing control - there are authoritative psychologists here, and if all else fails, just wear a monocle.

Worried about lifespan - the old man personally adds lifespan manually.

Worry about enemies - everyone here is your enemy, you are surrounded by enemies, what is there to worry about?

Isn’t this a perfect fortune teller’s happy house?

'Emm, host, you...as long as you like it...' If I give this house to you, host, you will be unhappy.

The system hesitated, and then the dog went to chat with Amon who was resting in the monocle.

"Isn't this a very common thing?" Amon shrugged, expressing surprise at the system's apparent excessive human nature.

Ahaha, a product of crazy knowledge actually sympathizes with those weird wizards.

The system got angry and got angry.

Well, it thought it had nothing in common with this naturally mythical creature.

Ah, I want to electrocute Him even more.

"Compared to this." Amon pinched his right eye socket, which seemed to be wearing a crystal monocle, "Ask your master for me... ah, it's like this, he still doesn't want to talk to me now, and to be honest, his thoughts are really interesting at times."

"So, hasn't he already obtained the main ingredients for Sequence 3 and Sequence 2 potions? Ask him when he plans to go to the Hornachis Mountains?"

The Time Angel, once the King of Angels in the realm of deception, asked with a smile, "Once the ancient scholar's ritual is completed, I think the next step of advancement will be very simple."

"Since he doesn't intend to become a Time Worm, a mistake, then he should be hoping to become, uh, the Fool, right?"

There seemed to be a certain degree of anticipation in Amon's voice.

The main peak of the Hornachis Mountains, the Kingdom of Night where the City of the Living and the Kingdom of the Dead blend harmoniously together. During the War of the Four Emperors, Antigonus, the King of Angels of the Fool's Path, successfully fooled fate and thereby accommodated the uniqueness of the Fool's Path.

Then the King of Angels was locked up in a dark room by the Goddess of Night.

The system had no idea what this crazy, annoying thing was expecting, so it could only fill its log with frustration and complain to its host.

"The two current Mysterious Attendant Extraordinary Characteristics are both concentrated in the Kingdom of Night controlled by the Goddess of Night, in the person of Antigonus."

After hearing the system's retelling, Tang returned to his room and sat at his desk.

For the Sequence 1 Mystic Attendants, although the promotion ceremony has been planned and is quite easy to complete without having to worry about sabotage, there are still some concerns.

Of the three copies of the Mystical Attendant currently available, two are with Antigonus.

"Another Beyonder's special characteristic is that it was directly swallowed by Sefirah Castle and will appear with Zhou Mingrui's birth."

There was a problem with the Lord of Mysteries' resurrection plan, resulting in the first two remnants of the Old Ones, the Goddess of Night and Emperor Roselle, not carrying the corresponding Beyonder characteristics of the Fool's Path when they were born. Therefore, the awakening of Tianzun's consciousness was delayed until the end of the world. Only then was the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic released by Sefirah Castle and fell with Zhou Mingrui.

This is most likely an arrangement made by God, the omniscient and omnipotent pillar of the five paths.

Honestly speaking, this arrangement of holding each other back can give everyone a chance to breathe. Otherwise, the first one to suffer will be the Goddess of Night, who will become the Lord of Mysteries the moment she is born.

The audience is horrible...

"In the original novel, when Zhou Mingrui was born, the Night Goddess manipulated Antigonus, the 'half-fool' whose will had been revived to a great extent by the Celestial Supreme, indirectly affecting the operation of Sefirah Castle and directly throwing the complete Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic that was supposed to have come with Zhou Mingrui into the God-Forsaken Land."

"Well, to some extent, this does fit in with the ancient Sun God's prophecy: 'Someone will emerge from the gray fog near the western continent.'"

Three copies of Sequence 1's extraordinary characteristics plus one copy of uniqueness now all have a purpose and an owner.

"I don't think I can get it from Sefirah Castle unless I awaken Tianzun's consciousness within me, then exploit the uniqueness of the Thief's Path to create a bug and force Sefirah Castle to acknowledge me as the Lord of Mysteries."

But by doing so, his mental state would be in jeopardy. After all, even if he wanted to use errors to exploit the BUG, ​​the will of the Celestial Lord would have to be revitalized to a terrifying degree in order to deceive Sefirah Castle.

Even if Tang relied on his own characteristics as a time traveler, after activating the Will of the Supreme within his Beyonder characteristics, he could use the essence of the higher-ranking beings, coupled with a large number of anchor points, to form a stable and balanced confrontation with them. However, if he used the mysterious servant in Sequence Castle as the main material for Sequence 1, his own condition would become even more precarious after he was promoted to Sequence 1.

The will of the Lord of Heaven is the biggest problem.

"The divinity brought about by the Beyonder characteristics is not spiritual pollution, and it is impossible to resolve it by systematically shattering the spiritual imprint."

This kind of problem can only be reduced when the end is near and the initial will gradually weakens.

This is one of the reasons why many Angel Kings didn't advance to Sequence 0 in the Fourth Epoch, especially Amon and Adam. "Unless I can obtain external assistance from a top-tier psychologist, I can suppress the awakening of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's will to the greatest extent possible."

But there is a high probability that Adam will take away the wrong uniqueness from him in exchange for supporting an audience who can interfere with the consciousness of the Heavenly Venerable, and this path will be directly blocked by the Angel King of Adam, the audience.

Tang didn't want to give up the wrong uniqueness. Therefore, unless he could directly turn Adam into a secret puppet, or explode him, so that he could not become a dreamer and ascend to the throne of God again, the Angel King, whose actual identity was the ancient sun god, would fall to Sequence 2.

Then, find "0-08", and the three plus one will support a dreamer secret doll at the level of a true god. The dreamer secret doll will then try its best to help him, so that its awakened consciousness of the Heavenly Venerable will be affected and it will still maintain a good mental state.

In this way, they cheated on the rules and created a bug in Sefirah Castle.

But the idea is beautiful, the reality is really too cruel.

"Even if Amon didn't say it, Adam should be able to guess that Amon suffered a great loss at my hands."

"Due to his ability to arrange the audience and his control over their minds, Adam, who possesses the power of fantasy, may not give me the opportunity to meet Him face to face."

Not to mention allowing the Angel King to explode to the Sequence 2 level. In the future, his actions would only explode Amon's uniqueness plus a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic. Adam, who was no less powerful than Amon, was even more unpredictable.

"Of course, we can also consider using Euclidean space, but it's highly unlikely to work, after all, it's source matter..."

The defense level is there, and even in the case of Sequence 2, it may not be possible to invade by taking advantage of errors.

"We'll discuss this method later... However, based on the inspiration, I can only consider obtaining Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics from the Evernight Goddess."

Just like Zaratul in the Fifth Epoch, enter the misty town and take a Beyonder characteristic from Antigonus.

"Compared to Zaratul, my advantage lies not only in the potential cooperative relationship between me and the Goddess of Night."

If he had gone to the Misty Town, the Goddess of Night would not have left a historical pore image of him there, causing him to lose control at the critical juncture of his promotion due to the incompleteness caused by the historical pore image.

Well, find some time to go to the Church of Night to pray and see if I can get any feedback.

But then again, what does the Church of Night think of the Spirit Cult?
"I don't know what the situation is like in the astral realm. The original barrier has been weakening, and the Seven Gods need to plug the loopholes. When they can't exert their full power and descend into the real world, to what extent can they interfere with the real world?"

But it should still be better than when Zhou Mingrui was born.

"Well, in this situation, the initial will to resurrect is still very strong. If the Goddess doesn't plan to deal with the Spirit Cult and try to take away the uniqueness of the Death Path, then I will personally go to the Southern Continent and transform some of the Marionettes there first. Using some of the Marionettes that possess the Spirit Worm as the cornerstone, I will secretly erode that place and, by the way, look for the Pale Emperor's Beyonder characteristics."

There are currently two problems in the southern continent.

One is the Spiritual Order itself, formerly the Church of Death, and the other is the Rose School.

The paths of prisoners and criminals all belong to the Mother Tree of Desire, and in the southern continent, the Indulgence School of the Rose School was influenced by the Mother Tree of Desire.

"Although the status of the Bound God and the Dark Side of the Universe is not good, we still cannot let our guard down."

He arranged the next things to do into sentences and wrote them down on paper. He took a look at what he had written, and after making sure there was no problem, Tang snapped his fingers and let it burn.

After waiting for the paper to be completely engulfed by the flames, Tang left the room, left the theater, and headed for the Church of the Goddess of Night in Tingen City.

"The goddess of night, who is nobler than the starry sky and longer than eternity..."

He manipulated the secret marionette to pray softly to the Holy Light of Night in the church, but it was different from the previous time. His inspiration suddenly moved, and he looked at a door on the side of the church that led to the interior of the church.

The secret doll stood up, walked over, and quietly entered the goddess's believers who were praying in low voices without their knowledge.

In the small prayer room, Archbishop Chanis seemed to have been waiting for some time. Seeing the person coming in, the demigod smiled kindly and said, "Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Archbishop Chanis."

The Marionette took his seat, and Archbishop Chanis said, "The ideas you provided earlier were very inspiring to me."

"The Church is currently negotiating with the Augustus family to dispatch appropriate Beyonders, carrying appropriate Beyonder items. They intend to temporarily pilot a new method of managing Beyonder cases in certain regions for a period of time."

The Nighthawk system cannot be established overnight. Tang, from the perspective of the future, has said a lot about the mature system in advance. Although this will help the Church of Night avoid many detours, it takes time to get used to it. The Augustus family and the Church of Night, and even the Church of Storms and the Church of Artisans, all need a certain amount of time to gradually perfect this theoretical thing.

"Is Tingen also one of the pilot sites?"

"Yes." Archbishop Chanis nodded and said slowly, "Soon, the Church of Tranquility will dispatch a team of Sequence 6 Beyonders, carrying the corresponding Sealed Artifacts, to Tingen."

"His Holiness the Pope expressed his hope for your assistance."

He handed Tang a document signed by the current Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Night. Tang took the document, glanced at it, and roughly understood the current attitude of the Church of Night.

"I have now passed the Church of Evernight. This at least proves that the Evernight Goddess and the Church of Evernight are on my side, provided there is no fundamental conflict of interest."

Putting aside the Church of the Lord of Storms and the insignificant Church of the Craftsmen, in Loen, as long as this document existed, even if the Augustus royal family wanted to embarrass him, they would have to ask the Church of Evernight for their opinion.

After all, it is the state religion. The Augustus family does not have a true god yet, so they have to be a little timid when facing the Orthodox Church.

"The only problem is, this document is for me, the 'Demigod of Tingen City,' not for 'Don Eggers Ramde.'"

Cutting off from this identity...

Well, if that's the case, he'll have to die in his current identity in a few decades... Of course, he can also die now and just treat it as part of the ceremony.

I just hope that when I meet Adam, he won't suddenly stand up and backstab himself...
