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

Come to think of it, she drank the potion directly in the office after receiving it from the messenger.

"I think... it's not as dangerous as you said..." Sif muttered softly.

"No, this is a very dangerous thing. Ordinary people will suffer great punishment if they drink the potion rashly without preparation." Theresa, who was beside her, heard her muttering and then said seriously.

She was the "first" among the three to become a superhuman, and she always remembered what happened when she drank the potion.

Not to mention the taste, even the shock from the depths of the soul and the torture brought about by the changes in the body are unbearable.

"Although I also want to see how Rocks will react after drinking the potion, but based on my experience, this kind of thing is not suitable to be done here." Theresa obviously misunderstood Sif and thought she wanted to play a prank on Charles.

Sif was somewhat helpless about this.

She really felt that it was nothing...

After all, she remembered that when she drank the potion, apart from the unbearable taste, everything else was fine...

"The Farmer Sequence is a relatively mild sequence, not as serious as you said." Charles said with a smile.

Although low-level supernatural characteristics have a certain chance of causing accidents and leading to the death of the user, generally speaking, as long as one is well prepared and has a strong will, he or she will not be greatly affected.

"In short, this is no small matter. Rocks, you must remember this."

Charles nodded obediently.

However, in order to express his inner "excitement", he put the potion in his pocket on the desk and looked at it carefully.

Ok?

When his eyes fell on the potion for the tenth time, his expression changed slightly.

As the high priest of the Church of the Earth, he had seen the farmer's potions many times. He even had a batch of potions used to develop believers before he traveled through time.

But for some reason, he always felt that the bottle of potion in his hand was a little different from the potions he usually handled.

“It feels like too much water has been added…”

After a moment, Ciel looked at the potion in his hand with a strange expression.

In terms of color, the potion in his hand was a little lighter than the ones collected in his own space, as if more water was added.

However, the formula of the sequence potion and even the quality of water have long been regulated. Generally speaking, as long as the sequence potion is successfully made, there should be no difference in appearance and quality.

And the taste of this potion always makes Ciel feel a little...how to say it...something weird!

It’s like the clothes you wear after eating hot pot. When you take them out, they are full of the smell of hot pot.

This bottle of potion was filled with the aura of other extraordinary properties. It was not just an aura, Charles seemed to be able to vaguely see the existence of a small amount of other extraordinary properties in the potion.

"It's really interesting..." Charles unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it all in one gulp.

After a moment his vision brightened, and memories of the potion's past began to emerge in his eyes.

The moment he saw the Heart of Yellowstone appear, Charles could hardly keep his composure and crushed the bottle in his hand.

"Ha! I knew you couldn't help it, Rocks." After Charles made the noise, Sif, who was discussing cosmetics with Theresa, raised her head.

After seeing the potion bottle crushed by Charles, her expression became a little excited.

Charles gave a complicated smile and then slowly closed his eyes.

Theresa looked somewhat helpless.

I've said so much...why don't you listen to my advice?

Although she was a little crazy inside, she still pulled Sif and said, "Leopold, don't disturb Rocks now. I'm going to find Professor Endsworth."

After she finished speaking, she hurried out of the office.

Perhaps Sif was infected by Teresa's behavior, and her expression became nervous, and then she began to do divination in the office.

After a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I knew it would be okay. Don't worry, Rocks, you can do it."

Hearing her words, Charles just gave a complicated smile.

I was careless...

You really can't underestimate anyone.

He had previously come into contact with Reiner, the president of the Truth Association, and had a brief encounter with him.

When Sif revealed the Sivismont language, in order to figure out some strange things about her, Charles went to the Truth Association to investigate the situation there.

But because his focus was on Sif and Silvesmont, he only took a brief look at Reiner's past - an ordinary demigod was not worth his attention.

But I didn't expect to miss such important content.

"The Truth Association... they're quite capable..."

Chapter 144: Dream City, Charles' New Identity

Endsworth quickly came to the office at Theresa's urging. However, by then, Ciel had already demonstrated his mastery of the potion.

"It seems like you have mastered it well, Rocks. However, the farmer-sequence potion is still a bit rare. It will be difficult to make further progress after the potion in your body is completely digested."

"I'll help," Sif said, raising her hand.

Charles left his clone to chat with the others in the office, while his real body appeared in Merogat, the area where the Truth Association's headquarters was located.

Unlike last time, this time he unleashed all his strength.

The commonness of the earth, the secret of thieves, the protection of fate...

Even Reiner, who was one with the entire Merogat, failed to detect the intruder, Charles.

He slowly walked to the top of the highest tower of the Truth Society.

Reiner was sitting at the desk, writing or drawing something. Scattered around him were many books on the use of magic power and even scientific theories.

The knowledge in these books constantly rubbed and collided in Reiner's mind and even began to merge.

Charles's hand was on him, but he was still unaware.

At this moment, Charles had an idea.

steal.

He can steal the opponent's abilities and at the same time steal the opponent's "factory" that exists in the gap.

"Not only the extraordinary characteristics of those below my own rank, but also the extraordinary characteristics of those at the same rank as my own, and even the first extraordinary characteristics exceeding my own rank that are about to be completed."

"Any leak of this ability would cause a global shock."

"Everyone will be greedy for such abilities, and I am no exception."

Ciel's hand gradually moved from his shoulder to his head. At this moment, he only needed to gently mobilize the power in his hand, and everything that belonged to Reiner would fall on him.

He can replace the other party to continue to complete subsequent experiments and thereby obtain the power that best suits him.

If he feels sorry for it, he can just steal the other party's knowledge and "factory", or even use other powers to compensate the other party.

"The significance he represents cannot be compared to the 'Wan Yue' or even the 'Holy Light'."

"A truly extraordinary characteristic that suits me, combined with my uniqueness, I am not just an ordinary true god, I might even be able to face the true god directly."

"Then I can go to the depths of the sun and above the moon and find the truth about everything directly from there."

"I can even travel alone to the depths of the universe, searching for my homeland."

He tried to convince himself.

"Noah could have left the legend of the Ark there, and I could have found it."

"If I could use that technology to create a Sequence 1 transcendental being, I wouldn't even have to worry about the effects of the passage of time."

“There are countless reasons that drive me to do this.”

Morality? Right and wrong?

These are worthless in the face of interests.

Charles said this to himself, and in his heart there were countless voices telling him what was the best solution at this moment.

But for some reason, he always stood behind Reiner without saying a word and never used his power.

Even as time passed, the extraordinary power that was faintly visible in his hands began to slowly dissipate.

Finally, he withdrew his hand and scratched his hair in annoyance.

Melnadette's figure reappeared in Charles' mind, and her voice when they first met seemed like it was just yesterday.

"As for me... since I promised you to change, I will definitely change."

"It's better not to cross the bottom line."

"After all, once there is a first time, there will be many more times." After that, he relaxed completely.

He walked slowly around Reiner's office and opened his collection of fine wines to taste.

Although he had made up his mind, looking at Reiner's serious figure, Charles' hands were always restless.

The mental impact of his extraordinary characteristics has always been minimal on him.

But this time, he felt like he couldn't control himself.

"It's not like there aren't other ways."

"Stealing the opponent's abilities is indeed the easiest way, but it's not the only way."

"The Apprentice sequence itself is one of the most optimal sequences I pursue."

“Although cooperation is more troublesome, at least it will not touch the bottom line.”

The bottom line is something that can be said to be very important, but can also be said to be unimportant.

Charles had been wavering between the two for a long time, and at that time he believed that the necessary bottom line needed to be preserved.

But if the benefits outweigh that line, it is not incomprehensible to take risks and cross the bottom line.

But that was a long time ago.

"The wine is good." Charles reached out and tapped the table lightly. Reiner, who had been ignoring Charles, instantly took a defensive stance.

Some cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

I didn't notice it at all.

Just now, he had no idea when Charles arrived or when he sat in his office. He didn't even notice that he had secretly drunk his wine.

Even if the other party had not deliberately let him discover him, the protective measures he was proud of would not be able to detect the other party.

This was undoubtedly terrifying for a demigod - it meant that if the other party wanted to take his life, it would be a very simple thing.

"Who are you?" Reiner wanted to change his position immediately, but the time and space around him had closed. At this moment, his office was like an independent small space. Apart from the arrangement of his office at this moment, he could not contact any means left by him in the outside world.

The Truth Association's coherent defense seemed like a joke in front of the enemy.

"You can call me Rocks, Charles Rocks." Charles said calmly.

This was a superficial identity he prepared for himself, Charles Rocks, the high priest of the Church of the Earth.

The real me playing myself.

In the process of getting along, he will try his best to act like a demigod of the Five Gods Era, but he will inadvertently reveal some flaws.

These flaws will tell the other party that his identity is false.

Some of the flaws were acted out by him, but some were real.

For example, his age.

He lived in the Five Gods Era, but the tens of thousands of years that had passed in this world were just a single year to him.

This is the biggest flaw in his identity.

"What is your purpose?" Reiner asked in a deep voice.

"Just came to visit some friends, we met last time." As he spoke, Ciel's clothes gradually changed, and then slowly turned into a figure that Reiner was very familiar with.

"It's you!?" Reiner's expression became even uglier.

After Ciel's last "visit", he forged a new batch of Horcruxes and set up a new barrier.
