Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 34What’s above the moon?
''Craftsman' has been upgraded.'

Time has passed without me noticing.

Basking in the sun and enjoying a quiet life, Tang, who was following his heart and playing badly, looked at the system and opened the "Craftsman" module.

With him as the center, the surrounding light and various buildings twisted and squirmed, radiating waves like water ripples.

Rays of light that seemed to be composed of countless basic particles, mixed with various mystical symbols, kept bouncing out, jumping and twisting in the air. The light and shadow intertwined, and the bright sunshine also lost its original color, becoming a little gray, hazy and illusory.

Inspiration made Tang discover the changes of the "craftsman" at once.

Compared to the previous monotonous occult symbols that served as a backdrop, the background behind it changed silently after consuming a portion of the alchemist's extraordinary characteristics.

Deeper, more mysterious, complex and ancient patterns are connected with various occult symbols. From the occult knowledge known to Tang, only a few of these symbols point to 'knowledge', 'civilization', 'mystery' and other occult symbols commonly used by extraordinary people who are peepers and knowledgeable people.

Most of them are unclear in meaning. They are either abstract symbols revealed by the demigod-level mythological creatures above sequence four of these two paths, or they collectively point to extraordinary realms that current mysticism cannot reach.

If I copy it down, I'm afraid it will have quite terrible consequences.

But it didn't have much impact on him after all, so Tang just looked at it and ignored it.

After roughly reading the instructions provided by the system, Tang submitted "The Never-Ending Theater" to the system for optimization.

'Start optimization, consume one forging time, remaining forging times: 22 times.'

'Time remaining: 47:59:54.'

That is two days.

Optimizing a seal takes much less time than creating a brand new magical item.

After the upgrade of the 'Craftsman' module, it was finally able to stably process extraordinary items of Sequence 3 and below.

It shortens the processing time, reduces the negative effects of the corresponding extraordinary items, can constantly produce more powerful extraordinary abilities, and can also produce magical items with the extraordinary characteristics of the angel level. However, as before, if it is forced to do so, unknown changes will occur during the production process.

There is a watershed between sequence five and sequence four, and there is also a watershed between sequence three and sequence two.

One is the birth of divinity, the other is the emergence of a complete mythical creature.

"But it's just optimization, appropriately reducing the negative effects of finished magical items or sealed objects. A system that has consumed an alchemist can be optimized."

Because Sequence Four is a qualitative change, after certain conditions are met, even if the selected object is a Sequence Two Miracle Worker Beyonder, the 'Craftsman' can still make a move.

"Also, a single 'craftsman' can now handle three different magical items."

Tang thought for a moment, then threw the inverted cross given by his father into the system to purify the spiritual imprint within it. He then took out the Judge Sequence Four, the extraordinary characteristics of the Law Mage, which he had prepared in advance and separated from the ball of flesh, and threw it in along with his own iron chain to enhance it.

Enhance Sequence Six to Sequence Four.

Still only choose one extraordinary ability and maximize its effectiveness.

The reality enhancement laws of the fourth level of sequence will undergo a qualitative change.

As for the rest...

Tang thought about it and decided to talk about it later.

"In this case, the most important thing is actually digesting the potion. Using Sequence 5 spiritual power to drive a demigod-level magical item consumes a huge amount of energy."

With his Sequence 5 spiritual power, even if the negative effects were not strong, he would not be able to sustain it for too long.

Having too many Demigod-level Extraordinary Items isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's certainly a bit wasteful. Spreading the last bit of decolorized syrup on the ground and letting it dry, Tang put away the Marionette and returned to the castle.

"Olsson."

Tang found Olson in his own garden. Olson was squatting on the ground, not knowing what he was doing. He looked at the flowers planted in the ground in a daze.

"what?"

Olson raised his head and Tang returned the magic book he had lent him before.

This magical item called "Travel Notes" was lent to him by Olson before entering the theater. It recorded a "banning" at the demigod level, which helped him banish the Black Knight and was of great help to him.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing in Tingen this time?"

After returning the magical item to Olson, Tang brought up the topic.

He and Olsson had known each other for a long time, but Olsson's visit to Tingen this time was a bit sudden.

"I want to go somewhere quiet and peaceful," Olsson said directly. "I don't know why, but lately I've been hearing strange noises at night."

As a traveler, distance is not a problem for him.

"sound?"

Olsson mentioned it yesterday, but his condition was so bad at the time that Tang didn't ask any further questions.

Now we can understand in detail what Mr. Men’s mumblings consist of.

"Hmm." Olsson sat on the ground without much ceremony. It wasn't clear if the effects of losing control hadn't worn off yet, or if he was simply too exhausted to have any strength left. "That was probably a mumbling. That still vague sound gave me a vague sense of losing control."

"But at the moment, it's not serious. I can still bear it, and it won't affect my stability."

"but……"

"But what?"

Olsson fell silent, pursed his lips, and looked a little hesitant.

"Tang, do you know what happens when a High-Sequence Beyonder loses control?"

Without waiting for Tang's reply, he continued, "It will transform into an incomplete mythical creature, indiscriminately attacking any life it sees around it."

The Abraham family, the few remaining demigods since the Four Emperors War, have gradually lost control in recent years.

Some of them realized something before they were on the verge of losing control and exiled themselves to other places, while others did not undergo any changes, but suddenly turned into monsters at a certain moment and killed many of Abraham's children indiscriminately.

They used many methods to verify these questions, but all the questions pointed to Abraham himself and their bloodline.

"The elders noticed the problem and told us to leave Abraham's family land on our own and find a place that could block the moon."

"Blocking the moon?"

Tang pressed, "Is there something wrong with the moon?"

"I don't know." Olson shook his head honestly. "The elders... they should know something, but they haven't told us. They only vaguely mentioned something on the moon..."

"have what."
