Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Chapter 226: Chapter 106: Charles: I give up╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Rocks, I think your behavior is very bad." Theresa suddenly changed her stance and spoke to Charles seriously.

"?" Charles looked at Theresa strangely.

"You always like to let others wear the clothes you choose, and you always say it's for their own good."

"But did you really choose this kind of clothes just for the other person's good?" Theresa looked at Charles seriously.

"Of course, Theresa, don't you think that the clothes Perozzi wore today... or recently, the clothes Perozzi wore were a little too simple and not very decent?"

Explorers are not celebrities, aristocrats or socialites, so they naturally don't need overly dazzling clothes.

She would even change into some simple clothes for convenience. Peroz likes this style very much, so her clothes are very simple most of the time.

If it happened to a noble, it would be extremely disgraceful.

"You're lying!" Charles' words made sense, but Theresa still spoke out loudly. "You're clearly doing this to satisfy your own wicked taste! Peroz doesn't need fancy clothes for dinners and dances, and the clothes you chose aren't suitable for dinners and dances!"

"I didn't!" Charles said weakly.

"Then prove it!" Theresa suddenly showed a sinister smile on her face.

"How to prove it?" Charles was a little confused.

"Since you helped us choose clothes for our own good, you shouldn't refuse our kindness, right~~" Teresa said with a smile.

Peroz, who was standing by, was also attracted by Teresa's words.

As she looked at Ciel, her eyes fell on the short black silk skirt in front of her.

Ciel shuddered.

Their gazes gave Ciel a bad feeling.

Women's clothing?

These two guys are not planning to make me dress up as a woman, are they?

As the high priest of the church, Charles swore that he would never do such a disgraceful thing, even if he crashed into the sun and was suppressed in the inner world for the rest of his life.

It definitely won’t smell good!

"You can help me choose clothes...but the clothes I choose for you are all for girls. You won't help me choose some clothes for girls too, will you?" Charles said seriously.

Peroz and Theresa looked at each other, and there was some regret in their eyes.

Theresa sighed. She had originally thought that if Charles was slow to react, she would try to help him pick out a nice outfit, and slowly want to try some things on him that she had been interested in for a long time.

Ever since she learned the truth about Maureen and Molly, she has become very interested in some kind of cosmetic sorcery...

"In fact, high heels, skirts, stockings and the like were originally men's clothing." Peroz explained this to Charles seriously, and then with a gentle face, he picked up the stockings and short skirt that he had just given Peroz.

"That was the beginning!" Charles tapped her forehead lightly with his hand knife.

In fact, there are many people in today's society who wear high heels, skirts, and stockings.

The aesthetics of this era are very peculiar. There are both universal aesthetics influenced by the Charles and some peculiar aesthetics caused by beliefs and customs.

If we have to use these aesthetic customs as an excuse, Charles feels that he might have to try to cheat today.

"Rocks, do you mean that you can accept all the men's clothes nowadays?" Peroz asked without getting discouraged.

Charles hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Rocks, do you like pop culture or fashion?" Peroz gave a wicked smile, while Theresa beside him looked at Charles thoughtfully.

"Okay."

Pop culture? Fashion?

According to the habits of his previous life and this life, popular culture is still something that Charles can easily accept.

Although many clothes look a bit avant-garde, they are still quite cool when uploaded.

He "beared the humiliation" today, and for a long time afterwards they were unable to refuse his invitation to go shopping.

Then we can call Melnade in their name...

You can arrange anything from rabbit ears to cat ears and skirts with tails~

Thinking of Mernadette's shy expression, Charles felt his fighting spirit ignited.

"Then let's go to the Fashion Frontier store." Peroz said, covering his mouth.

"I admit that I had some bad taste in buying clothes for you." The burning fighting spirit was instantly extinguished.

Fashion-forward....the clothes in this shop are not so much for customers to wear as they are for designers to express their own unique ideas...

Simply put, the pieces in this store are suitable for catwalk shows, generating buzz, and even as collectibles, but are definitely not suitable for wearing.

Charles once took Mernadette there out of curiosity. The most "normal" work inside that Charles thought was a women's handbag that looked like a birdcage - Charles couldn't imagine that those women's items could be placed in it without falling out.

Others include inflated, very round ball-shaped clothes that can give people a heart attack if they're not careful at night, and are made of raw animal meat and fur...

Rather than resisting in clothes like that, Charles thought it would be better to admit defeat early.

“Actually, the clothes there are quite ‘normal’ these days,” Perozzi said with some regret.

Charles rolled his eyes at her. No one would believe such a thing.

"You know, a lot of big things have happened in York Kingdom recently, so the style of that store has changed a lot."

"Rocks, you can go there. It's different there than before." Peroz said seriously.

It's definitely different there. It used to be just a bunch of ordinary designers' party, but now it's joined by some high-level transcendental enthusiasts. A few days ago, Peroz even saw a walking octopus walk out of the store. The tentacles on the clothes were still moving, it was alive...

Ciel flicked her forehead with his finger.

"If you can be my clothes rack whenever I call you in the future, I would consider it." It is not impossible to directly interfere with fate and cheat to make the clothes there normal indefinitely.

"I don't mind, but I'm afraid Theresa won't be happy." Peroz put his arm around Theresa's arm. "Theresa should do this, otherwise she'll cry alone in her bed at night."

"Who, who would cry over something like this!" Teresa said dissatisfiedly.

But her dissatisfaction seemed a little guilty when facing Peroz's smiling gaze.

If something like this really happened, crying would probably be impossible, but I would probably feel a little uncomfortable in my heart... although only a little bit.

Charles pinched Theresa's cheek lovingly, and when he was about to say something, a subtle fluctuation caused his expression to change.

Shadow creatures? Spirit creatures?

Chapter 227 Chapter 107 Spirit World Opera House

The shadow world, the spirit world, the dream world, the astral world...

In this land, the soil on which humans or extraordinary creatures can survive is never limited to the planet beneath their feet.

Extraordinary beings above the level of demigod who are involved in space can, like Reiner, create a derivative space attached to the main world at a certain price.

The extraordinary characteristics of a true god or some special gods after their fall can even truly evolve into a world.

This world is connected to the material world, but they can remain independent of each other.

Some are completely independent of the material world.

Even Ciel knew only a few things about the Shadow Realm, the powers these worlds represented, and how they came into being.

Sequence 2 of the Thief Sequence is Shadow. After their death, if there is no strong person of the same sequence to take away the deceased's extraordinary characteristics, then their extraordinary characteristics will become part of the Shadow Realm.

Therefore, the shadow world is a world that has more frequent contact with the material world. After reaching the intermediate level, the extraordinary people in the thief sequence can use the power of the shadow world.

At the same time, if a demigod-level shadow mage wants to become a Sequence 2 shadow, the materials for his extraordinary properties and the rituals must be carried out in the shadow world.

In the legend of the Five Gods Era, as long as one gains recognition from the Shadow Realm, one can become a true god of the Thief Sequence.

In addition to the shadow world, the dream world is vaguely mentioned in some church books as the dream of all things, and the spiritual world represents the spirituality of all things.

There is no record of the origin of the astral realm.

Although there is no record of their origin, the power of the extraordinary people is mostly closely related to them.

Regardless of which order of transcendents they were, they almost all had some way of leveraging other worlds to gain power. They even used these worlds to do things that seemed surprising to today's transcendents.

But, after the gods disappeared.

Although those worlds that were once closely connected with the material world have not completely disappeared, they have become as hidden and traceless as the gods.

The extraordinary people of the related sequence can still borrow some power from these worlds, but they cannot borrow too much power, let alone enter these worlds to obtain the extraordinary properties and materials unique to these worlds.

Although the Thief Sequence was not as good as the Orthodox Church's Extraordinary Sequence during the Five Gods Era, compared to other extraordinary paths, it had almost no other disadvantages except that it could not find the way forward without the True God. Therefore, the price of the Thief Sequence's potion on the black market has always remained high.

It relies on walking in the shadows. As the world with the deepest connection with the main world, the shadow world has almost become one with the rules and shadows of the main world.

As long as there are shadows, the extraordinary people of the Thief Sequence can quickly enter the shadow world, which is almost an unsolvable method for most extraordinary people.

However, in this era, with the shadow world becoming increasingly secretive, few people can enter it anymore. The only transcendent who can use shadow walking is probably Charles.

It's not because he can enter and exit there freely during the secret time of the worlds, but because Charles possesses the extraordinary characteristics of the Thief Sequence. With the blessing of his external general characteristics, he is now almost comparable to the shadow of the Thief Sequence.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, the extraordinary power in him can be transformed into a shadow world at any time, and he can also control the rules of the shadow world and the world's shadow.

It is not so much that his shadow walking is walking in the shadow world, but rather that he instantly transforms into the shadow world with the help of a little darkness.

There is only one person like him in this world.

According to common sense, when worlds like the Shadow Realm and the Spirit Realm fall into secrecy, not only should extraordinary beings be unable to set foot there again, but the creatures there should also be unable to appear.

Because of his own special nature, Charles has almost no dependence on those worlds, and apart from the time with Ms. Doom, he has not been to those places many times.

Therefore, after realizing that those places were hidden and inaccessible, Charles did not have much thought.

After all, compared with the disappearance of the gods and the changes of the times, the spiritual world and the like have almost no presence in his heart.

Even without a sense of presence, the simultaneous appearance of the shadow creatures and spirit beings, now extinct in this world, was enough to catch Ciel's attention. "Teresa, Perozzi, do you like opera?" Ciel turned slightly, smiling at the two who seemed a little embarrassed by the previous topic.

"Opera?" The two looked at Charles in confusion, as if they didn't quite understand why he mentioned this.

"I used to like it, but now I like movies more." Teresa thought for a moment and replied.

Opera, as a form of entertainment, has been enduringly popular from Charles' time to the present day. Theresa had also enjoyed it before.

However, recently, since a group of high-level extraordinary people started making movies like the Black Fire Age for their own interest and for votes, not to mention Theresa, even Charles has increased the frequency of going to the cinema - with the participation of high-level extraordinary people, the quality of the movies made is not inferior to the blockbusters in the cinema in the previous life, and even far exceeds it.

"He really gets bored with the old and loves the new~" Peroz complained.

"It's because those guys make really good movies." Teresa stuck out her tongue.

The movies in this world first appeared in the hands of Charles. He used special photo stones to invite some of his friends to make them. However, the photo stone movies never developed afterwards. After all, photo stones are a relatively precious supernatural material, and using them to make playful products like movies is not in the interests of supernatural beings.

At the same time, the extraordinary people generally belong to the ruling class, and most of them are not interested in such strenuous performances.

This situation continued until the Blackfire Era. Thanks to the development and utilization of oil, many areas, aside from the internet, developed within a short period of time, reaching a level approaching that of the Shire's previous life. Film was one of these areas, until the Blackfire faded away. Due to the disappearance of some cheap materials, film-related technologies also declined along with them.

Until now...because of the special nature of the Kingdom of York, some high-level extraordinary people have participated in it. Probably, for a long time to come, the movies of the Kingdom of York will be at the forefront of the world.

"Theresa is really hypocritical. She said before that Uncle Severus and the others were unhappy because of those guys, so they wanted to resist all actions of those outsiders. Who knew that she would surrender after just a few days." Peroz couldn't help laughing.

"If you say that again, I'll be angry!" Teresa's face turned red and her expression was a little unnatural.

For the current Kingdom of York, especially Moroston, almost all industries including food, clothing, housing and transportation are controlled by the "outsiders" she hates.

It is a very powerless or sad feeling to want to resist some things but be unable to do so.

Teresa felt sad every time she thought of this, but Peroz didn't care, or rather, it wasn't that he didn't care.

She just knew that some things couldn't be changed, she just knew what it would take to change them.

For her, the risk of gaining the power to change this place might be to destroy it first.

Many people, or "gods", don't want to see the Krolov family become too powerful...

"We were talking about the opera...you guys are making a fuss about this." Charles looked at the two of them with some doting, and then pulled the power of fate to guide the arrival of some things.

Spirit World Opera House, it's been a while since I last watched an opera there...

P.S.: Maybe, perhaps, or... have you gotten over your writer's block? I'll try to resume my two-day update schedule tomorrow...
