My setting is above yours!

Chapter 80 The Non-Existent Person, The Omniscient Domain Displays Its Power (4k8)

[Setting Update: Ability Formula - Omniscience Domain (Temporary)]

In your personal reality, you have imprinted with rules that allow you to control all vectors and monitor the movement of all matter—

The direction of movement of all things gradually became clear.

"All fear stems from the unknown... but in the void of the unknown, where should we go?"

—Ronald, president of SkyEye Corporation, the first cave explorer, and [the fire thief]

This is a "Profession: Superpowered" binding setting. By loading this setting, you will be able to use "Omniscient Domain - Pseudo" through the activation ritual.

Enabling this formula will significantly enhance your perception of material movement within your personal reality, allowing you to react automatically based on the formula's preset parameters. This setting has 10 remaining uses.

[Note: This setting can be upgraded to imprint new rule segments into the formula, improve computing power and personal performance.]

Omniscient Domain!
Ron looked at the text on the Dimensional Update Manual and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

As expected of the [Vector Manipulation] [Ability Formula]!
It's important to understand that this "ability formula," while merely a very inferior form of "omniscience," significantly enhances one's perception of physical motion within their own physical realm and allows them to react based on the formula's pre-set parameters...

But in reality, for [Vector Manipulation], it's practically a "brain" unique to Ron that can assist in calculations!
The ability model of [Vector Manipulation] is extremely powerful; Ron has only scratched the surface of it so far...

[Vector Manipulation] is powerful enough, but Ron is unable to control it precisely or use it in a timely manner, making it difficult to unleash its true strength.

As long as Ron can enhance his control over [Vector Manipulation], the number of methods he can use will increase dramatically.

For example, if Ron pre-plans many physical movements, then most of the sneak attacks will be meaningless to him when Ron opens his personal reality.

[Vector Manipulation] automatically reflects attacks that do not exceed its power limit, and even reflects various substances that may enter its vicinity.

For example, Ron once disliked air fresheners and wondered if he could use [Vector Manipulation] to exclude similar products, and now it is clearly sufficient to do so.

Thinking about it carefully, if the formula is used, as long as it is within the range of the [Vector Manipulation] ability, wouldn't Ron be able to directly create a "whitelist" to block everything outside the whitelist?
Moreover, in close combat within his personal reality, Ron's combat power would increase dramatically thanks to his perception of material movement through [Omniscient Domain - Pseudo] and his influence on vectors through [Vector Manipulation]...

No wonder the [Ability Formula] is so important to superpowered individuals!
However... why have we never heard of other superpowered individuals imprinting new rule segments onto such an important [Ability Formula]?
Ron looked at the text on the Dimensional Update Manual and couldn't help but ponder.

He had never heard anyone say that a Level 3 ability user could imprint new rule segments onto an ability formula after constructing it, thus enhancing it further.

Is this a special characteristic that was extracted from his settings by the Dimensional Update Manual, or...?

Is this something he shouldn't know?

Ron thought about it carefully and immediately frowned.

In Ideal City, things that Ron, in his current identity, cannot know, all seem to concern magicians…

Even the method to improve the [Ability Formula] is related to magicians?
They really have severely restricted the paths for superpowered individuals to advance...

Ron shook his head, no longer thinking about things that were meaningless to him for the time being, and decided to first activate [Omniscient Domain - Pseudo] to construct the "whitelist" he envisioned.

Only by creating a "whitelist" can he unleash the power of [Omniscient Domain - Pseudo], which will also increase his chances of winning the final battle against Father Suer.

Of course... not now.

Anyway, the Ritual of Pursuit of Fire still has a few days left, and Ron has already obtained the temporary [Ability Formula] he wanted. He can simply return to Ideal City, finish his monthly exam, and use [Prometheus]'s access privileges to obtain the complete [Ability Formula]...

At that time, the [Ability Formula] might be upgraded again, demonstrating even greater power, making it more likely that Idris will be able to save her.

Thinking this to himself, Ron was about to snap his fingers to activate [Omniscient Domain - Pseudo] when he saw Idrila, who had just finished drawing the magic circle for him and left, push open the door and exclaim in surprise:

"Ron! Come out here quickly... The Inquisitors of the Scorched Earth Sanctuary have arrived!"

“He is a Sequence Six [Vanguard Knight]. With his help, we can return to the Sanctuary today and judge Father Sull’s crimes!”

Judge? Are we going to try Father Sue today?

Ron was stunned for a long time.

After a moment, he came to his senses and subconsciously stopped snapping his fingers, thinking to himself:

"Anyway, we already have the [Ability Formula], so it doesn't matter when we build the 'whitelist'. This is a Sequence Six superhuman reinforcement, so we might as well meet him first."

"Moreover, we are going to judge Father Suer's crimes today. If we don't know his abilities, what if something goes wrong during the battle?"
"We need to see him first!"

With that thought in mind, Ron nodded, carefully put away the "Growth Tree Fruit" that had been almost completely drained of magic and left only with its extraordinary properties, and then followed Idrila out of the room.

Following her down the long corridor to the familiar Great Hall of the Academy, Ron immediately spotted the knight standing before the large round table, engrossed in perusing the Academy's secret manual.

He wore a bright, shimmering suit of armor and carried a spear taller than a man.

The last time Ron saw him in the Dimensional Update Manual version PV, he couldn't see what he looked like because the man was wearing a helmet that covered his entire face.

This time, perhaps because there was no need for combat, the Silver Knight was not wearing a helmet, revealing a handsome face with blond hair and blue eyes.

Judging by his appearance alone, he was even more beautiful than Idrisla, making it difficult to tell whether he was male or female.

Looking at the Silver Knight's face, Ron couldn't help but feel quite comfortable, feeling that he resembled An Hui and a sense of closeness arose in his heart.

"coming?"

He looked up, placed the secret manual back on the round table, looked at Ron and Idrila, and laughed heartily:

"I didn't expect there to be other people in the academy... I thought it was just Miss Idrila alone."

His voice sounded quite clear, and coupled with his appearance, he looked like a teenager of only fifteen or sixteen years old...

At this age, how can one become a Sequence Six, a Vanguard Knight of the War Sequence?
Ron couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion and a touch of respect for him.

To achieve such success, both talent and hard work are indispensable!

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Ron's mind.

Why shouldn't I get to know someone like him?
If he knew I was an agent of an angel, I might be able to get something out of him...

Perhaps, I can obtain the potion recipe to advance to Sequence Six, thereby overcoming the constraints of authority and becoming a Level 4 superpowered being!
Ron immediately struck up a conversation with the Silver Knight, explaining his background in detail.

After hearing Ron's words, the Silver Knight looked at Ron with a half-smile, his tone full of admiration:

"Ah... so it was a hidden being whose sequence I had never heard of before."

"For Lord Ron to gain the favor of such a mysterious figure, he is indeed a promising extraordinary individual, just as Miss Idrila said."

Upon hearing this, Ron shuddered, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

You're...sweating?

He frowned, suddenly feeling that the underground hall of the [Truth Society] was truly eerie.

It's so hot in the middle of winter, wouldn't it be unbearable to live in this underground hall in the summer?

As Ron thought this to himself, he saw the silver knight in front of him smile gently and say:
"But since everyone has arrived, I think we shouldn't delay any longer, right?"

"The [Ceremony of Pursuit of Fire] is only a few days away. If we haven't dealt with this traitor, Suer, by then, and he's allowed to hold the ceremony, there will be a lot of trouble later." He said, decisively making his decision.

“Let’s go now to the sanctuary to arrest that apostate—Mr. Ron, the school is unguarded, so I’ll have to trouble you to guard it.”

The Guardians' Association?

Yes, President Elvis hasn't returned yet, and the school's defense is so weak. I really should take responsibility for this...

Ron subconsciously thought so, but after opening his mouth and hesitating for a long time, he still didn't say yes.

After struggling with his thoughts for a moment, Ron finally spoke:
“Father Suer has a Sequence 4 containment artifact, if it's just the two of you…”

"Then you don't need to worry."

The Silver Knight immediately interrupted him, "As a Sequence Six [Vanguard Knight], it's not difficult for me to capture an old man who has been wasting decades in Sequence Seven."

Ron's expression immediately became hesitant again.

He paused for a moment, then stammered:
"That containment object can greatly enhance physical abilities after use, surpassing even Sequence Six. You might not be able to defeat it..."

"There's no need to worry... Who said he's the only one with containment items?"

As if he had been prepared, the Silver Knight produced a longsword from somewhere, with intricate patterns and an extremely exquisite hilt bound by steel thorns.

He explained, "This is a containment item that His Excellency took out to prevent any accidents during this trip... The power within it comes from the extraordinary characteristics of [War] Sequence 4, and is a ceremonial sword carried by a [Thousand Death Warrior] on the battlefield."

"Using it will instantly grant you the combat experience of a [Thousand Death Warrior] and unparalleled [War] magic, enough to easily defeat that traitor, Suer!"

As the Silver Knight spoke, he prepared to hand the longsword to Idrila:
"Idrila, I'll entrust this sword to you for safekeeping for now..."

As he spoke, a heroic expression appeared on his face, and he said earnestly:

"The task the bishop assigned me was to capture the heretic, Suer, alive... but Lord Ron's concerns were justified. What if I lose the battle with Suer?"
"To prevent this from becoming irreversible, I'll temporarily entrust this sword to you—if I lose, you'll use it to kill Father Suer!"

Upon hearing this, Idrila's expression turned serious, and she felt a surge of pride:
"I...I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

But just as she was about to take the longsword, she was stopped by a trembling hand.

Ron didn't know why his hands were shaking like he had Parkinson's disease today, and his spirit was trembling as if he was about to collapse, but he still managed to stop Idrila and take the Silver Knight's longsword.

He vaguely remembered what this sword was... In the version update PV, Idrila used this longsword and was injured by various air weapons, as if she was being slowly sliced ​​to death.

“That lord gave me a trial…yes, it was because of that lord’s trial.”

Ron muttered to himself, gripping the longsword tightly:

"To complete that lord's trial, I must take action against Father Suer... This sword should be mine to wield!"

Seeing Ron's actions, the Silver Knight was somewhat puzzled, but then suddenly nodded in understanding:
"Oh... I almost forgot that Lord Ron still has a trial to complete with a hidden being."

His face was grave, and he still spoke in that tone as if he were about to die a martyr's death, entrusting his son to someone else:

"Then you may wield the sword... If I fail, you must use this sword to kill Father Suer and save Evening Bell City from its dire straits!"

Having said that, the Silver Knight didn't hesitate any longer and immediately got up and left.

"Alright... a lot of time has already passed, we can't waste any more time!"

His voice was heavy with sorrow: "We still don't know how many innocent people that apostate, Suer, has harmed, how many doctrines he has violated, and how many times he has blasphemed God..."

"This is no ordinary apostate; we must act immediately!"
"Come with me, let's go and kill this traitor and restore peace and order to Wanzhong City!"

Upon hearing the Silver Knight's words, Ron felt a surge of pride, while Idrila beside him had her eyes shining, her [War] magic coursing through her veins, clearly ready.

After the Silver Knight finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the bookstore, with Ron and Idrila following closely behind. They walked quickly towards the Scorched Earth Sanctuary outside Evening Bell City.

But as he walked closer to the Scorched Earth Sanctuary, Ron gradually calmed down, but couldn't help feeling a little hesitant.

He felt it would be too reckless to just get up and leave without any preparation, so he activated the [Potion Sequence] and used the [Medium]'s divination abilities to perform a divination on the Silver Knight—

Good luck!

This means that the Silver Knight's operation to capture Father Suer was incredibly fortunate, a stroke of luck that came from all sides!
Upon seeing the divination result, Ron was completely relieved, and the last bit of doubt in his heart disappeared.

He said, "With so many preparations made, how could we possibly lose to Father Sue?"
Another Sequence 4 containment object, another Sequence 6 Inquisitor's...

Father Suer was only a Sequence Seven!

Perhaps, I won't even need to lift a finger...

No, that's not right, how could you think like that?
Thinking of this, Ron broke out in a cold sweat again, and a multitude of thoughts raced through his mind:
'You can't just rely on divination... Divination can fail too. I even did a simple divination based on my intuition, without using my spiritual vision or going all out with a medium. How can I assume everything will be perfect just because of one divination result?'

'Even Father Harvey has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve, and the Church of the Lost doesn't even know how many traps they're hiding. I still don't dare go back to explore... Who knows what tricks Father Sull might have up his sleeve?'

'Going directly to the Scorched Earth Sanctuary without preparation, starting a battle on Father Sul's home turf, is already risky enough. How could I possibly harbor such thoughts?'

'At the very least, we need to build a whitelist first to ensure we can unleash our full potential!'

'That's strange...why is it still so hot outside!'

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but the idea of ​​using [Omniscient Domain - Pseudo] to construct a "whitelist" to enhance his strength, which he had prepared beforehand, ultimately prevailed.

He hesitated for a moment, then, with a thought, changed the names of [Superpowered Person] and [Ability Formula - Omniscient Domain] in the Dimensional Update Manual, and lightly snapped his fingers—

The next moment, personal reality spread out, and Ron silently began to record some physical movements, constructing a "whitelist" for temporary use...

The vast majority of material movements were clearly visible in his personal reality, and Ron felt a sense of surprise and delight at the feeling that he could know and control everything.

This ability... is too powerful. I must report it to the Silver Knight immediately and tell him that this is a trump card that can be used in the battle later!
With this thought in mind, Ron looked at the Silver Knight, about to speak, but his expression suddenly froze.

He finally "saw" the breakthrough point.

Behind the Silver Knight, in that empty space, why is there a non-existent person, completely invisible to Ron, taking steps?

Who's there?

He seemed to be holding something in his hand... Was he writing something down with a pen?!

No, no, no…

Ron suddenly snapped out of his daze. The doubt he had just experienced finally exceeded his tolerance level, completely waking him from his daze, and cold sweat poured down his back.

He recalled everything he had just done, and a chill ran through him, setting off alarm bells in his mind:

"What...what am I doing?!"

He looked at the Silver Knight as if he'd seen a ghost, then at the non-existent person behind the Silver Knight—

What are they doing now?!
