Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 172 171 Arrangements of All Parties
After taking in the chaotic battle situation on the southern continent and obtaining some useful information and the Spiritual Cult's next decisions from their subordinates, Tang integrated the current situation on the southern continent, then rearranged the actions of other secret puppets on the southern continent, adjusted his strategy, and focused on the indulgent faction of the Rose School of the Highland Kingdom.

"It's a great feeling to just be the boss behind the scenes without having to do anything myself."

Tang withdrew his gaze from Kotal, the 'God of Wishes' who was stirring up trouble in the southern continent, and looked at the Abandoned Land and the City of Silver.

The secret doll placed in the God-Forsaken Land had already reached the edge of the God-Forsaken Land more than half a year ago and saw the gray-white fog that seemed to extend infinitely and even covered the entire continent.

Tang and his marionettes attempted to cross the gray fog and reach the Western Continent, which was sealed by Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, blocking all source substances except Sefirah Castle and the Chaos Sea. However, all his attempts failed to see any hope of success.

In other words, faced with this level of interference, there is no such thing as hope.

Even through Euclidean space, once a person or a marionette enters the fog, they will soon be enveloped by the fog and unable to move.

This feeling was similar to when Tang once tried to enter Sefirah Castle, but compared to that time, the gray fog covering the western continent was more dull, and it was even impossible to notice the fact that someone had quietly invaded it. Only some of the power of the essence affected Tang and the marionettes in the high-dimensional space.

The marionettes, wrapped in thick fog, were trapped inside. For this reason, Tang had no choice but to abandon the marionettes and use the extraordinary ability of the Trickster to exchange positions with the insects to reduce losses.

"My only luck is that this gray fog doesn't seem to be able to block the connection between the spiritual thread and me... Is this because of the power of the knowledge wilderness? Is it the extension of crazy knowledge?"

"But it is true. Before the apocalypse in 1368, or before the birth of a new Lord of Mysteries, this layer of gray fog will be impossible to pierce through by any other means, unless something originally belonging to the interior of the Western Continent is used to deceive the gray fog."

In the Fourth Epoch, in many historical fragments of the Age of the Gods, there were signs that the Source Essence had penetrated the seal of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun and infiltrated into the real world, such as the tributary of the River of Eternal Darkness, which was now flowing in the deepest part of the city of Calderon.

Among the tributaries, there are the death marks of the former God of Death, Gray Carrie, and his grandfather, Salinger.

For example, the town of Binxi was eroded by the power of the City of Disaster.

This brought unspeakable changes to the town of Binxi, making the area quite terrifying.

For example, the system in his body is essentially the evolution of crazy knowledge in the wilderness of knowledge.

The activation of the Hidden Sage, the changes in the Brass Book of Trunsost... many of the secrets hidden in the Fourth Epoch may be more or less related to the Source.

"If that's the case, you can try to take advantage of this opportunity, after you've completely mastered Euclidean space."

"After I become an angel and can make deeper use of Euclidean space, I'll use the channel connecting the system to its main system and use the 'knowledge chasing people' mode to turn myself into an information stream. Together with the system, I can pass through the channel opened up by the knowledge wilderness. I should be able to bypass the Tianzun's blockade of the Western Continent. Perhaps, I can go in and take a look at the situation inside beforehand."

Of course, Tang tried to use the Sun Scepter to mobilize the power of the Chaos Sea, trying to blast a passage through the gray fog covering the western continent. However, the power of the Chaos Sea mobilized by the Sun Scepter was not much, and in the end, it was left unresolved.

Either wait patiently for the end of the world to come, or cultivate a new Lord of Mysteries.

Otherwise, apart from the Heavenly Lord and God, the extraordinary beings of the Three Paths of Weirdness and the Five Paths of Omniscience and Omnipotence, who can ascend to the status of the Old Ones before the Old Ones arrive, would other paths want to obtain the corresponding essence to ascend to the Old Ones? Don't even think about it!

The birth of the Lord of Mysteries is very likely to lead to the resurrection of the original Lord of Mysteries.

Old silver coin.

While roasting by the fire, Tang in his heart despised this pillar who had been dead for who knows how long, this old silver coin who had played overt schemes and finally took off.

As expected of the Lord of Mysteries, it is not difficult to see that between Amon and the Lord of Mysteries, the former is easier to get along with.

"The Goddess of Night doesn't know that there is a backup plan like Xiao Ke. Maybe to some extent, I am one of the backup options that the Goddess of Night has in mind for the Lord of Mysteries."

"And this alternative plan might also help me obtain the Beyonder characteristics of a Sequence 1 Mystical Servant from Him in advance."

After all, Half the Fool's condition was really too bad. After completing the rituals of the Ancient Scholar and Miracle Worker, Miskatonic University would definitely be exposed to the Church of Evernight.

For the Goddess of Night, Tang, who bears the 'Mark of the Old Ones', is obviously a better partner than half a fool, isn't he?
-

Today, the Silver City, which is completely in a free-range state, is still brightly lit in the depths of darkness.

There seemed to be something strange growing on the roadside made of black bluestone bricks...

That looks like a tree with strange things growing on it?
what?
Tang suddenly withdrew his gaze and looked at the experimental field next to Miskatonic University Hospital.

A secret doll raised its head and seemed to notice Tang's gaze.

Tang glanced at the commotion caused by the secret puppets that the farmers in his own experimental fields had been experiencing recently, and then quickly shifted his attention to the Silver City in the God-forsaken Land.

He couldn't help but be speechless.

"Did you bring something in from the outside world? No, what did you say to those druids?"

The former chief of the City of Silver, Sequence 4 Demon Hunter Gar Bray, glanced at the sky and planted the sapling covered in eyes in his hand.

There weren't many people around him. Not far away, there seemed to be other demigods from Silver City standing. They were the other members of the six-member council.

He was either protecting or monitoring the former chief of Silver City, who had escaped from his out-of-control state for unknown reasons.

"Nothing." Shaking off the monster's blood on his hands, Gar Bray planted the sapling with eyes in a pit.

There were many monster corpses buried in the pit. The roots of the saplings covered with eyes grew rapidly after coming into contact with the monster corpses. It seemed that they were deeply rooted in the monsters and absorbing their nutrients.

Gar Brenner buried the roots of the saplings and the corpses of the monsters with soil.

Tang looked at it with a distorted face and leaned back.

Good guy, really good guy.

“…I don’t believe it.” What the hell is this?

The demon hunter showed no expression. "But you didn't specify that this wasn't allowed."

I didn't say this kind of thing is okay!
Tang almost crawled to Silver City with a twisted scream to shake his own secret doll's neck.

Oh no, what on earth are those druids researching? Do you care about the theater?!

Theater: Hehehe, I just like seeing you jumping up and down.

You are anxious!

Have the druids get some more rice with ears, trees with heads, grass with mouths, and the like. Eat as much as you can. This is the God-forsaken Land, so having something to eat is good. System: 'Hehe.'

I don't know why, but it just follows suit.

Tang: That’s not funny at all, okay!

Would you dare eat the fruit from a tree covered in eyeballs? You'd be better off growing mushrooms!

Tang moved the corners of his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

"Those people in Silver City still don't seem to trust you?"

Gar Bray paused as he buried his hand in the soil, then said quite naturally, "It's only natural, especially after I showed some abnormalities."

Tang snapped his fingers, dimming the fire in the room a little.

This guy did it on purpose, deliberately exposing some special features to make the people in Silver City wary of him...

Never mind, whatever, just give up.

There are underlying logical constraints of the 'Bionic Secret Doll' module, so as long as it doesn't harm you, it's fine.

"Okay... get ready. You and the others will go to the Giant King's Court later."

Don got down to business.

After all, during the period when his ceremony is being held, he must make the best use of these long three hundred years.

The Giant King's Court, the former kingdom of the Giant King Ormir, is located in the God-forsaken Land and is completely cut off from the real world. Only a few beings can reach there.

Without opening the door that seals the Dark Angel Sasriel, it is an absolutely valuable treasure trove.

Tang, who was able to bypass the seal and enter the East Continent, had obviously obtained an admission ticket to the God-Forsaken Land, and the Giant King's Court was a huge monster spawning cage.

There are quite a few potion formulas, various treasures, and extraordinary characteristics in it.

"Giant King's Court...are we going to open that door?" asked Gar Brai.

"No." Tang picked up the book he was reading and answered casually, "What's sealed inside it is the Chaos Sea. Why would I go and fight the Chaos Sea and the Dark Angels and Evil Spirits when I have nothing better to do?"

"Let Xiao Ke solve this thankless problem. My ritual doesn't require Silver City's participation. I can solve it myself without having to restore the history of the God-Forsaken Land."

"Furthermore, at this stage, the God's consciousness is still extremely strong. Compared to the Dark Angel evil spirit a thousand years from now, it's probably countless times more dangerous... This is not something you can handle. Even if you bring the demigods of Silver City with you, just getting close will end you all."

The Dark Angel Sasriel was a firewall created by the ancient sun god. Unfortunately, this firewall is now out of control.

Gar Bray had no choice but to give up the idea.

"Let me think... Hmm, let Brooks, the War Bishop, lead the team, followed by Zaratul, who carries a Level 0 Sealed Artifact. Um, let the Ancient Guardian go as well, followed by an ancient scholar from the Esoteric Order, a number of Sequence 4 Demigods, and some Sequence 5 Beyonders with special abilities."

Form a team of secret puppets and let the system do real-time monitoring. Every demigod and every secret puppet should have the spirit insect of the trickster in its body as much as possible. Some insect secret puppets should be placed in the Euclid space for emergency use. Such combat power should be able to clear any other area outside that door.

"The harvest should be rich, but the only problem is the True Creator."

"Ah, we'll see when we meet him. If all else fails, we can just retreat. Although we haven't faced the True God directly, if we just exchange the Marionettes with those on the Northern Continent, He won't be able to catch up."

If you don't chase, your enemy is out of your sight. If you chase him, you will be beaten up by the seven gods together. Are you angry?
After arranging matters in the God-Forsaken Land, Tang turned his attention to the Secret Order.

After a year of erosion, with the immediate superior rebelling, the Secret Order had been almost destroyed by Tang's Marionettes.

"What a pity for old Zaratul's legacy." Tang shook his head with regret. After reading a book for a while, he put himself in the rocking chair and rocked back and forth. In the warmth of the fireplace and the snowflakes falling outside the window, he sighed comfortably.

"Tongzi, I was wondering if I should customize some characteristic moves for myself."

'? '

The system was puzzled, "Host, what is a characteristic action?"

"Take Amon for example. Look, doesn't this God of Deception start wearing a monocle after he parasitizes someone?"

This behavior also caused some Beyonders who had faced Amon to feel fear involuntarily when they saw someone wearing a monocle.

Tang reached out, touched his chin, and looked at the ceiling. "I think this kind of symbolism is quite interesting sometimes."

"If I take a second, third, or even fourth dose of the Trickster's potion, I think I can digest it quickly with this trick."

"Ah, of course, this should also help me in my role as the Mysterious Servant. After all, the Lord of Mysteries always needs some Mysterious Servant, right?"

"But host, you are scary enough..."

The system flipped through its own system logs and found that not long ago, someone in the secret society could not stand the increasing number of people around him, and deliberately displayed an abnormal "atmosphere" of his own host secret puppet, which frightened him so much that he lost control of his mind and went crazy on the spot.

The system sincerely suggested: "It's enough to let the secret puppet reveal a little abnormality from time to time. Host, let's be human~"

"Well, then I'll be a maggot." Tang happily gave up on being human. "Wearing a monocle does seem a bit like Amon's duplication. Amon only wears a monocle on his left eye now... Ah, how boring. If he still wore it on his right eye, maybe I could reversely interfere with Amon through the uniqueness of the error."

Amon hasn't been to Tingen for a long time. The villain has been silent, so he must be up to something. I just don't know what Amon is going to do.

Well, we have to be wary of this.

"Well, given the precedent of Amon, my marionette wearing a monocle seems a bit out of place. Hmm, what pose should I use? Peel off the face, exposing the unprotected flesh? Open the skull, revealing an empty head? Or transform the body into a spirit worm, appearing half human, half worm?"

"I always feel that it's too bloody and too violent."

"I've tried to create the same smile before, but that smile only creates a terrifying effect when there are a certain number of Marionettes. It's difficult to create an extremely terrifying effect with just one Marionette."

Tang pondered for a while and decided to do some dream divination to find some inspiration.
