Chapter 23 Klein: Potion System, Rise Up!

On Thursday morning, Klein's spirit slowly awoke, covering an area of ​​five or six miles.

He looked down upon the world.

"Now, my spiritual power has reached the level of a ghost immortal, and the spiritual power surging from the dark gold sphere has also strengthened my physical body."

Sensing a completely different power within his soul, Klein withdrew his thoughts from his mind.

Even with such a significant increase in his mental strength, only a thin layer of the mental sphere in his sea of ​​consciousness had melted away.

And it was these emanating spiritual energy that, in part, transformed his body into something ten times harder than diamond.

"What level can this sphere allow me to reach? Planetary-level telekinesis? Plus a Fourth Tribulation Ghost Immortal?"

Klein looked into the distance, as if he could already see the scene of his successful revenge.

"With this kind of power, I should be able to take revenge on Ince Zangwell, and since I can now freely control my thoughts, I should be able to avoid being discovered by 008."

Last night, Klein still took the potion. It wouldn't be wise to completely expose his special abilities. There are still many mysteries surrounding him, so he should continue down the path of the diviner.

As for the will within the potion, it cannot be erased.

“But if I can suppress this will and use it as resources, wouldn’t that change the whole thing?” After changing his mind, Klein couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Uh, what do you mean by indelible? It will awaken one day.

I thought it was an unlimited buffet inside my body.

Go and speak to my mental thoughts.

Unfortunately, after Klein consumed all the surface spiritual imprints, the will within the extraordinary characteristic fell into slumber.

No matter what Klein did, it seemed like He wouldn't wake up...

“It’s good to be young, you can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow,” Klein said with a shake of his head and a smile.

Although having a consciousness inside his body was quite disgusting, Klein was now eager for it to wake up and strengthen him.

"Sigh, I guess my gaze now is probably the same as that of an American rancher looking at a black slave in my past life, all that's missing is a whip in my hand."

Klein sighed, then began to experience the special abilities that had appeared in his body after he was upgraded to Sequence 5.

But when he felt it, he almost laughed in anger.

"What is all this... It seemed alright at first, but now it's starting to look more and more funny..."

Klein gave a wry smile:
"Air bullets have been upgraded to the level of steam guns. They used to seem pretty powerful, but now it feels like carrying a gun is better..."

"And the other abilities are also based on the enhancement of the previous sequence..."

"Hmm, the Faceless Man's characteristic is that it can permanently transform into people with different appearances, but it's only a superficial change. It can also simulate voices, which is not bad..."

But what Klein couldn't hold back the most was his core ability as a Sequence 5 power: Spirit Threads.

"This is……"

At this moment, his eyes were filled with countless illusory black lines.

Emerging from his own body and from different nearby places, countless and numerous, corresponding to different parts of his body, they spread to infinity, reaching the end of the void.

This bizarre scene, with its intense and beautiful density, was not unfamiliar to Klein. He had seen similar images several times when he borrowed the power of the "All-Black Eye" and relied on it to create the "World" dummy.

This is the source of the extraordinary ability of the "Master of Puppets"—to turn others into puppets.

Klein frowned. It looked powerful and sounded like a strong control skill, but the problem was... the control and manipulation were too restrictive.

Uh, what does it mean that the distance between the puppeteers and the puppeteers cannot exceed 200 meters?

What does it mean to activate the ability to control the opponent, with a distance not exceeding 10 meters?
Please, this distance is practically face-to-face for a superhuman with enhanced physique.

Is this definitely a skill used by a mage?
What made Klein most uneasy was that this ability was limited not only in terms of range but also in terms of activation time.

Even if you are within 10 meters of the enemy, it will take at least 5 seconds to gain initial control, and that will only slow down their thinking and actions. It will take another two and a half minutes to gain complete control.

Two and a half minutes? Does it take 0.1 seconds for a bullet to pierce my head? If the other side had a gun, pulling the trigger wouldn't take that much effort at all. They could completely control the other side's timing, and they would be riddled with bullets by then.

This was after Klein completely removed the spiritual imprint from the potion and fully integrated it with the potion.

If it's the first time taking it, the effective range will be shortened to 5 meters, and the time may even be 20 seconds.

5 meters... 20 seconds...

Klein couldn't help but think of Rosago, the "Master of Puppets" whom he had killed.

In the other person's memory, this was one of the most difficult extraordinary abilities to suppress below the high-sequence level...

Well, putting aside the drawbacks, just tell me, isn't it hard to control yourself?

"hehe."

Forgive Klein for not being able to hold back his laughter.

Fortunately, the potion system is a bunch of weaklings with only one type of skill. If you switch to a potion system with high base stats, you can win in 20 seconds.

As for using a secret puppet as a backup body to test the waters?

The problem is that I am now a ghost immortal, and my soul can possess and seize bodies.

He has at least a thousand thoughts that can instantly possess a body thousands of miles away. Why would he need to spend several minutes? Is he having a fit?

Klein shook his head and smiled wryly:
"Does this mean that this is all the ability I have to achieve to reach Sequence 5 after risking five deaths from losing control?"

After reaching Sequence Five, even if one advances, a ritual is required to assist in the process; otherwise, there is almost a 100% chance of losing control and dying.

Even if there is a ceremony, there are still huge risks involved.

After looking at it for a while, Klein felt that the only ability he could use after the advancement was the Faceless Man's ability. The extraordinary abilities of the potion system were varied and strange, but they were not practical.

The premise of being a monster with a strong mechanism is that the mechanism needs to be powerful, rather than being crushed by a monster with high stats. Right now, I estimate that I can overcome all magic with my own strength and tear apart several demigods.

As for the mechanism? Let's talk about it with my telekinesis.

Klein covered his face and shook his head.

"Alas, potion system, you rise to prominence."

The risks were too high and the results were useless. The more Klein looked at it, the more he felt that the potion system could only be used as food for the soul.

"We can only hope that the Sequence 4 transformation will be somewhat useful. According to Ms. Daly, perhaps initially unrelated extraordinary abilities will gradually show a connection later on, just like five fingers that were originally unrelated can later become a fist."

he thought.

"My current abilities are all related to the spirit world and spirits. Is this path so inextricably linked to the spirit world? That's interesting. What will these abilities become when combined? Will they involve the essence of spirits and the spirit world?"

However, the extraordinary properties of the potion system that can be bought with money only go up to Sequence 5, and the premium is already very high.

The next Sequence 4 consists of demigods, who are already major figures in the world of occultism.

Klein knew that he would have to find his own way to advance. Potion recipes were not rare, but extraordinary traits were limited and would only become more scarce as he went higher. Perhaps he would have to seek out other extraordinary individuals at that point.

Then Klein suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right, it's Thursday today, and I have an appointment with old Kohler, so I can't forget about that."

In the eastern part of Backlund, there is all kinds of industrial pollution and thousands of homeless people suffering from hunger and pain. Under such circumstances, this area is easily targeted by evil gods.

So a week ago he asked old Kohler to keep an eye on things in the East End in his spare time.

Of course, this might just be Klein's sympathy, wanting to help this former homeless man.

However... this is indeed an opportunity. If there really is an incarnation of an evil god, he wouldn't mind eating more food... Of course, it's best not to exceed the level of a demigod, otherwise he might fail.

With that thought in mind, Klein tidied his clothes and went out.
