Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 213 The Most High

After patting the cube placed above the stone chair, Tang took out the corresponding nine spiritual specialties from the system space and prepared to pray to the Goddess of Night, asking her to lift the secret effect imposed on the foggy town.

Whether it was the promotion ceremony of Sequence 1 of the Diviner Path or the simplified ceremony of becoming a god that needed to be carried out later, both required the participation of the spiritual world and could not be in a closed environment where communication between the inside and the outside could not be achieved.

"The cat box is like a thought experiment in quantum mechanics. A cat is placed in an unobservable box. There's a poison inside. There's a 50% chance the poison will evaporate, killing the cat, and a 50% chance it will remain intact, allowing the cat to survive."

"Without opening the box, a cat like this appears to be in a state of both life and death."

"The 'cat box' created by the observer can create an unobservable realm similar to the box in which Schrödinger's cat resides. Things within it will always be in a state of continuous superposition, neither losing control nor truly waking up."

The clumping worms now trapped in the perfect cube possess both Antigonus's own will and Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's ability to indirectly influence Source Castle.

"However, this extraordinary power also has certain limitations and is not omnipotent."

The two opposing states must be in a delicate balance. Once the probability of a certain state occurring is as high as 99%, the role of the "cat box" cannot be effectively exerted, and there will be no way to make the things inside appear in a balanced state.

Before using Euclidean space to exert such influence on Antigonus, the purpose of awakening the opponent's will, maintaining the corresponding blessings, and stacking BUFFs is to initially fight against Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

To prepare for the extraordinary power of the next path of grace.

In this way, a superposition state of two possibilities, Antigonus waking up and Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun resurrecting, is created, which is in a delicate balance. This can not only limit Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's resurrection, but also further increase Nicholas's stealing success rate.

Tang placed nine spiritual specialties into a distillation bottle that had been prepared in advance. As these nine spiritual specialties interacted with each other and began to gradually dissolve due to the addition of Tang's spiritual power, the auxiliary materials were ready. The miracle worker who was about to be promoted looked at Nicholas, the Sequence 1 Angel King.

Nicholas squeezed his crystal monocle, then looked through the 'cat box' to see Antigonus, who was in a superposition of two completely opposite states: out of control and awake.

At this moment, a large number of occult symbols began to appear in the crystal-carved monocle worn by the Angel King whom the thief passed by.

Transparent insects kept surging under the skin of the Angel King, one spiritual worm after another wriggling, convex and concave, evil and weird.

As the top cryptographer, Nicolas Flamel began to decipher the occult symbols and characteristics represented by the Angel King, the Seer's Path Sequence 1, in order to gain a deeper understanding and prepare for the subsequent theft.

Beside him, the corpses of Antigonus's secret dolls also stood quietly. They also wore monocles and looked at Antigonus in the 'cat box'.

They also have the Time Worm from Nicolas Flamel living in their bodies. They used to be puppets, but now they have become Nicolas Flamel's clones and have been given many extraordinary characteristics of the Thief's Path.

The next moment, the Time Worms, which were not few in number and of varying strengths, all made a stealing move together.

Each of the Time Worm clones was not very strong, reaching Sequence 3 at most. Nikola did not split out a Sequence 2 clone. In this case, facing the Angel King in the adjacent path, even if he was controlled, the probability of successfully cutting off the corresponding illegal characteristics was not high.

But among a large number of repeated thefts, there is always a tiny chance that a few will succeed.

Tang used the power of "miracle" to magnify this possibility. While decrypting, Nicholas calculated the possibility of all the thefts by the Time Worm, and created a BUG in the clone that achieved the theft. The success of the theft would be counted on the original body of Nicholas, the King of Angels.

Although the probability is low, it cannot be stopped due to the high frequency and fast speed. Soon, Tang saw a dark and profound object emerging from the body of Antigonus, the Sequence 1 Angel King. There was a strong spiritual imprint on it that came from Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

This Beyonder characteristic contained more Celestial Master imprints than the Beyonder characteristics of the Thief and Apprentice Sequence 1. If it were directly mixed into a potion, the probability of losing control and going crazy would also be much higher than that of an ordinary Sequence 1.

Also stolen were the seal of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun and some other things.

"The spiritual imprint of old Zaratul."

This was the extraordinary characteristic that Old Zaratsu had taken away when he was ambushed by Mr. Men and Antigonus during the Four Emperors' War.

After this extraordinary characteristic left Antigonus' body, the state of the 'cat box' began to become unstable and tended to collapse.

"Of the three things within Antigonus' body, the uniqueness undoubtedly holds the most of the Celestial Lord's will. After the remnants of old Zaratul's spirit left Antigonus' body, the barely-established balance was once again disrupted, and the probability of the Lord of Mysteries reviving increased once again."

Tang summoned more Euclid space fragments and carefully examined the state of the 'cat box'. Then, he said to Nicola, "Just steal the uniqueness."

"it is good."

Nicholas nodded.

Tang Ze took the dark and gloomy substance that flowed out of Antigonus' body and poured it into the distillation bottle containing nine special products of the spiritual world.

The Beyonder characteristics interacted with the nine spiritual specialties, and it seemed as if dark and profound things appeared and then disappeared. Pupilless eyes and twisted lines appeared and then sank into darkness. In the end, this Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic and auxiliary materials were mixed into a Sequence 1 potion.

"This position is one step closer to the divine throne, and this in itself represents a certain danger."

As a fortune teller, as an extraordinary person who could truly feel the 'future', Tang took a deep breath, looked at the potion that was as light as air, tilted his head back, and drank it.

Before the complete collapse of the 'Cat Box', Nicholas was exerting various influences on the Fool's uniqueness, trying to separate the connection between the uniqueness and Antigonus.

This is a rather difficult move in itself. Antigonus' body, mind, and spirit are already highly bound to this uniqueness at the mystical level. Any attempt to separate the two is likely to stimulate the will of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, so the other party further erodes Antigonus and allows the Lord of Mysteries to return completely.

But at this moment, the will of the Lord of Heaven actually gave up the bond with Antigonus, and the mask emerged from the constantly twisting and wriggling worms of Antigonus.

This is not a good thing.

Nicholas thought.

A Time Worm clone monitored Tang's situation. If anything went wrong, he would immediately steal his identity, destiny, and extraordinary characteristics. He would then let Tang die once, performing a miracle of 'resurrection from the dead' to clear the pollution.

Before Tang drank the potion, Tingen City, Hoy University and Tingen University.

The sewer pipes beneath the two universities stretched in all directions, connecting the entire underground of Tingen. This complex facility required long-term and costly maintenance. At this moment, a sewer pipe somewhere between Khoy University and Tingen University suddenly collapsed.

The figure of the War Bishop appeared in the corner of Hoy University, and the figure of the Dark Demon Wolf Kotal was hidden among the countless secret puppets of Tingen University. This huge demon wolf that survived from the Second Age to the present day did not attract anyone's attention.

They also destroyed part of the sewer lines of Khoy University and Tingen University, making the three hundred years of rituals here suddenly ineffective.

The spiritual world, the spiritual world area corresponding to Tingen City.

In a world where countless pieces of information and symbols are intertwined and blocks are stacked, the abstract concepts suddenly seem to receive a violent impact, and the information that has been delayed for three hundred years suddenly floods into this spiritual area.

Thoughts, information, knowledge, symbols and logos, countless things, puppets and people, and every bit of interaction between puppets over the past three hundred years instantly refreshed the concept of the corresponding area of ​​the spiritual world. A vivid picture of life was played out here, and a city of puppets was born, replacing the original Tingen City of three hundred years ago.

Here, countless marionettes experience birth, old age, sickness, and death, with each marionette having a complete life trajectory designed. Such a city still stands in the Ruen Ahowa County. It is real and tangible.

Tang's soul was traveling in the spirit world along with countless spirit insects. His mind was constantly fragmented. Sometimes he turned into an old woman who died in the snow, sometimes he turned into a baby who was just learning to speak but died due to lack of food, and sometimes he turned into a homeless man on the street who thought the bread on the roadside that was so hard that it could make teeth crack was delicious.

People of all kinds believe in the same existence. They are both themselves and the secret doll.

The intertwined threads of countless human figures crossed the veil of time and space and penetrated deep into the Kingdom of Night located at the main peak of the Honachis Mountains.

Tang suddenly had a clear self-positioning. In the aftermath of the promotion ceremony, he quickly digested the magic potion belonging to Old Zaratul and Antigonus in his body, and re-established a new bond and balance, suppressing the will of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun to revive and return again.

In fact, influenced by the 'Supreme One', he was not too afraid of factors in the ritual that would affect his own mental state.

"I am who I am."

"The me of the past is me, the me of the present is me, and the me of the future is also me."

Sequence 1, Mystical Attendant.

The shadow seemed to come alive and expanded rapidly.

After Tang was promoted to Sequence 1, his reflection looked like a gigantic monster covered in filth and covered with countless slippery, evil tentacles.

Tang looked at his own shadow. Although it was not affected too much by Tianzun, some details still showed the existence of the will of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

He stood in the hall, and the surrounding environment was clearly reflected in his eyes.

This misty town was once swallowed up by patches of quiet darkness. Now, the red moon is towering in the sky, and the crimson moonlight truly falls into the town, making it appear somewhat real.

"Next..."

Tang looked at the translucent mask in Nicola's hand, which was engraved with half a pupilless eye and half a twisted line. A smooth tentacle engraved with many patterns took the mask from his hand.

He looked at this picture that represented the most important thing on the Fool's path to becoming a god, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

Then, the slippery, evil tentacles slowly pressed the mask onto Tang's face.

The translucent mask was pressed against his face, and the even crazier, tangible will of the "Lord of Mysteries" erupted.

It was a combination of blatant malice, cunning, absurdity, and terror. It was even more powerful than the will of the Lord of Mysteries that Zaratul had experienced not long ago when he faced Antigonus.

Can……

"Weaker than I thought." He muttered to himself, and then the hand connected to the Euclidean space penetrated into the depths of that space, as if passing through the curtain of history and reaching towards an even more distant era.

He caught something that was like a huge monster, heavy, cold, and difficult to shake with ordinary methods.

It is a symbol, a symbol.

It is the holy light composed of the curved surface that symbolizes space, the twisted line that symbolizes time, and the eye of nothingness that watches.

It was a completely new symbol, one that did not belong to the current era.

"The ritual of godhood I chose is to fool both time and fate."

The Goddess of Night has withdrawn the power that concealed the entire town. The interaction between reality and the foggy town, and the outbreak of the weakened version of the apotheosis ceremony have attracted the attention of the demigods and angels who are paying attention to the relevant matters.

Even the ruler behind the shadow curtain, the symbol of destruction and doomsday, the embodiment of spirituality and numbers, was looking obscurely and coldly at the newly promoted mysterious waiter wearing a translucent mask in the ancient palace.

But no one took action.

No one dared to take action.

A great power is pouring in from the 'future'. The starry sky around the Crimson Moon presents a strange and distorted feeling. The countless stars are like eyes that are constantly blinking.

Above the astral realm, within the primordial barrier, twisted, illusory figures, as if not entirely existing in the material world, floated around aimlessly, as if in some extremely special state.

He looked at the vast starry sky beyond the barrier, his gaze sweeping across the red ocean that occupied the moon.

"It looks like it's really lively."
