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

"Among the extraordinary people, I played the role of the person who could attract their favor the most. After that, I joined the church and couldn't wait to show off my knowledge, just to be able to go further."

"Just like that, step by step, I became the legendary high priest. It was also at that time, when I thought I could relax and take a break, that I left my era and came here."

"Initially, I just wanted to gain some insignificant sense of security, because I had no one to rely on in this world."

"But gradually, I no longer know why I should work so hard to do something I don't like."

"Especially after coming to this era." His expression became ferocious.

"Admittedly, I've gained many things here that I only dreamed of. But my life seems to be manipulated by an invisible black hand, like a chess piece or a puppet."

"Don't I know the advantages of playing it safe? Of course I know."

“But I don’t want to do that anymore.”

"I don't want to fight year after year, day after day, for an invisible future. I just want to solve everything once and for all."

"If there really is a black hand, I want to see how he responds to my choice."

Charles laughed wildly.

If the other party interferes in his affairs and allows him to successfully obtain the power of the only creator, although he is still under the other party's "manipulation", he has obtained stronger power than the original plan and is more likely to escape his control.

If the other party does not interfere in his affairs, then he will be able to fight for a future that truly belongs to him.

Being close to the power of the One Creator is enough to make him move from a chess piece to a chess player.

Looking at Ciel who was laughing freely, Reiner seemed to understand his heart vaguely for some reason.

If you think about it carefully, his life seems to be full of weirdness.

But compared to Charles, he had no interest in resisting. After all, no matter why the mastermind chose him, he would always use all his strength to fulfill his beliefs.

At the same time, he will use the rest of his life to see the truth of this world clearly.

He and Ciel were in a similar situation, but their mindsets were completely different.

But he can truly understand the other person.

ps: I went home to renew my driver's license, and wanted to be lazy and didn't take my keyboard. Who knew that the laptop keyboard that I hadn't used for a long time had several broken keys, which made me completely confused. The manuscripts for the new book were used up, and this book also stopped updating for a few days... I'm desperate.

Adjust your work and rest schedule and try to catch up on the updates that were interrupted before the end of the month o(╥﹏╥)o

Chapter 423: Analysis and Undercurrent

"You're so willful." Reiner looked at Ciel.

"I gave up everything for something like this."

"Is this really worth it?" he asked in a low voice.

Perhaps in Charles's view, his whole life was controlled by others.

But at the same time, his experience is something that countless people desire but cannot obtain.

It's just less than a hundred years of hard work.

If such a short time could be exchanged for his current strength, there would probably be countless people willing to take his place.

Sometimes freedom is not that important.

"Maybe it's not worth it." Ciel smiled, then looked at Reiner with a burning gaze, "Then, will you help me?"

Reiner sighed a few times, "I'm not really interested in helping you."

"But I am very interested in studying the power of the righteous gods and becoming a righteous god."

"After all, I don't want my Truth Association to disappear because of my personal strength."

Charles waved his hand. "No, if you were facing someone else, you might have encountered something similar, but Melnadette is not the kind of person who uses her power to bully others."

If she were such a person, she wouldn't have only Fort Nason as a testing ground now.

With Ciel's support, the whole world will become a testing ground for her ideas.

"But I want to do this kind of thing. It's a very novel experience to overwhelm others with force." Reiner said seriously.

"You're really not frank..." Charles' eyes were complicated.

It was clearly to help myself, but he found a lot of excuses.

Reiner grabbed his hand fiercely and said, "If you are so anxious, then stop talking nonsense."

"You said before, you have a lot of materials around you that I can analyze."

"Start with the power of the true God, start now." Reiner said in a serious tone.

"Maybe it really is possible." Charles grabbed his shoulders with a complicated expression.

Reiner didn't quite understand what Ciel meant, and didn't ask any further questions. He just waited for him to take him to find the materials for the true power of God.

Charles didn't explain to him.

When he brought Reiner to the Sea of ​​Lust, what he thought in his heart was... Reiner might really be able to become the sixth true god.

Whether it is talent or character.

"Is there a Sequence 1 True God hidden here?" After arriving at the Sea of ​​Desire, Reiner surveyed his surroundings, but didn't detect any fluctuations of supernatural power. He looked at Ciel with some curiosity and asked.

"There was one before, but he was separated due to some things some time ago and has not been resurrected yet."

Ciel said in a nostalgic tone.

At that time, he was very angry about what Pandora of the Sea of ​​Lust had done.

But now that he thinks about it, although Pandora went too far at that time, she also helped him a lot.

Whether it was giving him the power to complete himself in that way after his death, or helping him to achieve a breakthrough in his relationship with them at that time.

"Hasn't resurrected yet?" Reiner looked at Ciel with a strange look.

I haven't been resurrected yet, why did you bring me here?

"I'm relieved. Although she hasn't been resurrected yet, I can summon her power."

After killing Pandora of the Sea of ​​Lust, Ciel gained her power and authority over the Sea of ​​Lust.

Standing on this land, Charles can use his own power to simulate and transform Pandora's power at that time.

As the owners of the twelve conceptual cities in the star realm, the twelve Pandoras have varying degrees of strength.

Putting aside the Pandora that has not yet revived or that Charles has not seen, there are only four Pandoras that he has seen.

Pandora of the City of Knowledge, Pandora of the City of Gluttony, Pandora of the Sea of ​​Lust, and Pandora of the Valley of Existence.

In terms of power level, Charles felt that Pandora of the Sea of ​​Lust was the weakest.

She probably has the power of half a true god, but less than a complete Sequence 1. Of course, although she is not a complete Sequence 1, the essence of her power is no different from that of other Sequence 1s.

Then there is Pandora of the City of Gluttony. Although she is a foodie, Pandora of the City of Gluttony should be stronger than Pandora of the Sea of ​​Lust, and is probably infinitely close to the normal Sequence 1.

It can even be said that if the other party had not used the magic power of the City of Gluttony to subsidize Charles, she would now have the power of a normal true god.

Then there is Pandora, the City of Knowledge.

Although he has never shown his strength, through other contacts and some things that Charles has seen, Charles can feel that the other party's strength exceeds that of an ordinary true god, and his combat power is above average.

Pandora of the Valley of Existence stood at the top of all Pandoras. Charles heard from Pandora of the Sea of ​​Desire that her power was the closest to their true selves.

It's the type that even three or five true gods can't defeat.

It is precisely because of the existence of these four people that Ciel has the confidence to make the promise to provide Reiner with enough materials.

The power of the true God is difficult to analyze, but if there is a person who is weaker than the true God but has the same essence as the true God, then it will be of great benefit to their experiments.

At the same time, due to the different levels of power and tolerance rules, these Pandoras can also provide Reiner and him with more diverse experimental materials.

With them around, the difficulty for Ciel and Reiner to create extraordinary characteristics at the level of true gods is greatly reduced.

Even because of the existence of Pandora in the Valley of Existence, it will provide certain help to the power of the righteous gods after the true God.

Of course, the premise of all this is that they are willing to provide him with some help.

While thinking about how he should persuade them, Ciel simulated the summoning of the power of the Sea of ​​Lust.

Reiner's gaze fell on those powers, and then he slowly walked into the ocean surrounded by peach-colored aura.

Watching Reiner jump into the sea of ​​lust, Ciel's eyes twitched slightly.

He originally thought that in order to analyze Pandora's power, Reiner would at most absorb some of the breath from the Sea of ​​Lust, or swallow some of the water from the Sea of ​​Lust.

Who knew he would be so reckless.

If he jumped in here directly, he wouldn't be afraid of drowning.

Or will they encounter some other strange threats, leading to more serious consequences?

While Ciel was complaining about Reiner in his heart, he used his power to pull Reiner out of the sea of ​​lust.

Looking at Reiner, whose face was pale and whose body had become a little weak, Ciel couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Reiner, if you really want to experience what love is, or if you really want to feel the power of lust, I personally suggest that you find a girl in your Truth Association who admires you and experience it with her."

"Jumping straight into the sea of ​​lust is exhilarating, but it can also easily leave some aftereffects."

As he spoke, Charles's gaze slowly shifted towards his lower body.

Reiner's face flushed and he glared at Ciel fiercely, "Who is interested in that kind of thing? I just want to analyze the power of this ocean."

He originally thought that he could hold on for a few minutes, but he didn't expect that after being surrounded by the sea of ​​lust, his will was instantly corrupted.

At that moment, he seemed to be enjoying the most perfect happiness in the world, making him feel reluctant to leave.

Even now, when he thought about the experience he had just had, he had an urge to jump in again.

He has tried very hard to overcome this impulse, but the throbbing comes from within himself, and he cannot overcome it by faith.

Looking at Reiner's changing expression, Shinji Kirihara put his hand on him.

Wisps of pink breath slowly lingered around his fingertips.

Reiner then slowly returned to normal.

"That's truly terrifying... Rocks, are you sure the opponent's power is only as strong as half a true god?"

It's just a difference of one sequence, but it seems like the difference between heaven and earth.

"What do you think?" Ciel looked at Reiner speechlessly.

Reiner laughed, then stopped talking and approached the power of the Sea of ​​Lust again. He slowly absorbed a part of the power of the Sea of ​​Lust and began to analyze it.

Charles didn't say anything more and analyzed the power in front of him like him.

Although he thought that Reiner was the main force this time, he was also the [Truth] and he was not just going to sit around and wait for death.

Perhaps compared to Reiner, he lacks some brilliant ideas and decisive inspiration, but in terms of basics, Ciel is better than the other.

After all, from a certain perspective, the strengthened Ciel can be considered as Sequence 1 of [Truth].

The minds of the two people were connected together. With their full strength, the power of the true god in the sea of ​​desire was constantly analyzed, and then transformed into data that was stored in the hearts of the two people.

Reiner had a more intuitive understanding of the power of the true God, and at the same time a rough idea slowly emerged in his mind.

Ciel didn't think much about it, but just tried his best to analyze the power of the true God into a form that Reiner could understand.

While the two of them were constantly searching for the root power of this world, in Nathan Castle, Mernadé was also facing the most important test in her life.

The mutual aid society developed rapidly, and the number of people in Nathanburgh at this time had reached the same level as in its heyday.

When there are a lot of people, all kinds of ideas will come out.

Plus Noah's guidance and instigation.

Although Fort Nason looks prosperous now, it is actually like a raging fire, or an unignited bomb.

Just a small trigger and the mutual aid association may disappear.

Mernade vaguely sensed the crisis of the mutual aid association, but no matter how many methods she came up with, she could not change this situation.

The human heart is the most difficult thing to control.

In difficult times, people may work hard and strive for a goal wholeheartedly.

But when life is not so hard and everything is moving in a good direction, many people no longer have their original intentions and may even fall into depravity at a very fast speed.
