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

However, no one expected that this time he not only came and went as freely as last time, but also made a qualitative leap in concealment.

"Tell me your purpose." Reiner stared at Ciel, his hands calmly placed on his waist.

Some "gems" have been activated. Although he is unsure, he is not a man who will wait for death.

"There's no need to make the atmosphere too tense. I'm here to discuss cooperation." Charles looked at the other party calmly.

"I don't think there's any point in cooperating with a bad guest like you."

"City of Dreams." Charles raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at the other person calmly.

There were some cracks on the desk, and Reiner's expression was a little gloomy.

"How did you know where it is?"

"A coincidence." Charles didn't elaborate on what it was.

"Oh, is this what you came here for last time?"

"No, no, no! Last time I just came to make friends, and my purpose was really just for Sivismont." Charles waved his hands quickly.

But Reiner didn't believe him.

"The Dream City is useless to people like you. You should know that it can only produce extraordinary characteristics that are lower than my own sequence. At the same time, the higher the order, the greater the loss." After a long silence, Reiner said in a low voice.

There are still a few people in the Truth Association who know about the Dream City.

But although Reiner is naive, he is not childish.

Although he told some people about the Dream City, he omitted some important things.

For example, efficiency, loss, and actual output.

No one except him knew that he was able to consume a large amount of resources and produce extraordinary characteristics of the same sequence at a certain cost and under the premise of bearing certain failures.

He even made a plan to extract divinity and forge higher-level extraordinary characteristics.

Although the probability of failure is high, there is a certain probability of success.

"[Omniscience], or [Truth], Sequence 2 of the [Apprentice] Sequence. I want a copy of the [Truth]'s main ingredient, the [Heart of Omniscience]."

[Heart of All-Knowing], also known as [Heart of Drax], is an extraordinary characteristic that is extremely precious even in the Age of Five Gods.

Charles once briefly searched for the traces of Drax, a god-level supernatural creature, but did not gain much.

"How did you find out?" After Ciel said that, Reiner's expression became even more gloomy, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

It wasn't all bad news...at least he hadn't faced betrayal.

He had never mentioned his plan for the [Truth] potion to anyone.

"Supernatural power is omnipotent." Charles answered irrelevantly.

"Then you should know how much I have invested in my plan."

"I'm not going to let this go to waste."

Reiner said through gritted teeth.

Rather than becoming a tool, it is better to fight him to the death.

Although the most likely outcome would be his own death, he was unwilling to give up his lifelong pursuit in vain even if he died.

"It's better not to do this."

"I have a holy relic, passed down from the Age of the Five Gods. It can help me steal everything from my enemies: wisdom, talents, thoughts, and even extraordinary abilities."

"I've been here for a long time, and I've thought countless times about simply stealing your dream city, stealing your plans, and then taking over your place."

"But in the end I chose to give up."

"If you want to take action, I welcome it. After all, this will give me a reason to take away your ability directly."

Reiner gave a slightly disdainful smile.

Just steal his abilities and his dream city?

He didn't think anyone could do such a thing. The importance he attached to the Dream City determined his arrangements there. To him, it was a place that no one except himself could find and invade.

As for extraordinary abilities, even a demigod of the thief sequence cannot steal his extraordinary abilities of the same sequence, let alone a holy relic?

Charles didn't say much about this, but just took out a pair of white spider silk gloves as thin as cicada wings and put them gently on his hands.

He slowly walked to the other person's side and stretched out his hand slightly.

Reiner suddenly realized that his connection with the gap space was broken.

The next moment, a question popped up in his mind: What is the interstitial world? Is it important to me? What is it used for?

It didn't last long before Ciel gave the other's ability back to him.

"What a demigod can't do, a god can do." Ciel's voice made Reiner fall into silence.

"Don't be too pessimistic. What I want to do is not to take away your achievements. If that were the case, I would directly steal everything that belongs to you."

"After your experiment is successful, or even after you successfully advance, I am willing to pay you with the raw materials and ask you to help me create a [Heart of Omniscience]." Charles said in a sincere tone.

"What can I get?" he asked suddenly.

Ciel's lips curled up slightly. "Sequence 8 [Identifier], Sequence 6 [Craftsman]."

"You must have some regrets and remorse for what you did in the past."

"I can help you change your regrets." Charles said in an aria-like language.

"What?" Reiner looked at the other party in surprise.

The apprentice sequences from low to high are: Sequence 9 [Apprentice], Sequence 8 [Identifier], Sequence 7 [Medicine], Sequence 6 [Craftsman], Sequence 5 [Potion Scientist], Sequence 4 [Alchemist], Sequence 3 [Mentor], Sequence 2 [Truth].

As for Sequence 1, no one has ever completed this sequence and become a true God, either in the past or now.

This sequence is somewhat similar to the farmer sequence. Before reaching a certain level, the combat effectiveness is very weak.

Even before the high level, the extraordinary people in this sequence have almost no combat power.

But when they reach a higher level, especially after Sequence 4 [Alchemist], the extraordinary people in this sequence will immediately be differentiated from those in other sequences.

Some of the best ones can even defeat the extraordinary people in the church sequence.

This is a systematic extraordinary sequence, and each level is an important component.

Ciel had seen 6 [Alchemists] and 3 [Mentors], and in terms of strength and talent, Reiner was the strongest.

But at this moment, he was still not in his strongest form, as two important pieces of the puzzle were missing in his extraordinary sequence.

Although he used many ways to cover up and replace his own defects, but... if he could really make up for it, he would be willing to pay a very high price. It's a pity that for the extraordinary people, the potion sequence cannot be changed once it is drunk.

Even he couldn't break this rule.

"This is impossible..." Reiner couldn't help but say loudly in surprise. After all, before the Dream City plan set sail, he had spent several years trying to solve his own shortcomings, but all failed without exception.

But before he could finish his words, he felt some differences and changes in his body.

"This is my sincerity." Charles said calmly.

At this moment, within Reiner's body, the extraordinary power of Sequence 8 [Reader] was suddenly changed.

【Identifier】!

Although there was no basis for it, Reiner could still feel the power surging in his body to make up for the gaps.

His pupils shrank slightly, and his expression became somewhat incredulous.

"How... did you do that!" he couldn't help but ask loudly.

Chapter 145: The Cheek Under the Mask, Stories about the Past

Incredible skills.

In Ciel's mind, Reiner's "Dream City" is magical.

But in Reiner's heart, Charles' behavior at this time was truly amazing.

After all, his dream city conforms to the rules of the world, the laws of science, and the codes of magical power.

But now, Charles's behavior is like opening the lid of Newton's coffin in the scientific world, denying the most basic but most correct theory in contemporary times.

"...How did you do that..." he asked hesitantly.

The [Apprentice] sequence is an extraordinary sequence of exploring the world, discovering and utilizing new rules.

In their eyes, the world is very strict and standardized.

Even though many extraordinary people can do many magical things, in their eyes, that is also in line with the laws of magic.

But now, as far as he knew, the rules set by countless predecessors in the [Apprentice] sequence had been broken.

"Do you know Sherlock Clifford?" inquired Charles.

"The first of the apprentice sequence, [Truth]." Reiner nodded.

"This is his work, his last work before he disappeared."

The symbol of the godless era is the disappearance of God.

Demigods and demigods were not among them, but gods and true gods, both the church and other forces also disappeared at the same time.

At the same time, considering the time from the Atheist Era to the present, there is no way to verify whether Clifford really has this work even if he wants to.

"If you are interested in this, I can tell you some of the principles involved. Of course it's not free, just consider it as a bargaining chip in this transaction." Charles showed a gentle smile.

Of course he was aware of his own abilities, which were nothing more than a fusion of different extraordinary characteristics.

But apart from him, probably no one can do it.

After all, this fusion is not the disordered accumulation of two extraordinary characteristics, but a fusion that is completely integrated into one.

"These are my wages for your labor. I will collect the specific material expenses myself."

"This is all my sincerity."

Please refuse...

A voice suddenly emerged in Charles's mind.

On the outside he appears calm, gentle and refined, but on the inside he is like a volcano about to erupt.

He suppressed his greed, but in his heart he couldn't help but hope that the other party would refuse.

Because... [Omniscient Heart] he will not give up.

If he refused, he would have an excuse to convince himself whether to seize the ability or to seize the [Heart of Omniscience] when he succeeded.

"I don't seem to have any reason to refuse." Feeling his body, Reiner finally chose to nod after a moment of silence.

No matter how gentle Charles behaved at this moment, it could not change the fact that he could be killed by him at any time.

On the surface, he was sincere, but Reiner believed that if he had refused, he would never be like this now.

"However, you said you could help me after I advance."

Ciel nodded seriously. "Of course, once you become the Truth, your success rate in crafting will definitely be much higher than it is now."

"Besides, you can feel more at ease this way, right?"

"I've said it before, and I mean it with deep sincerity."

Reiner remained silent about this.

After a moment, he suddenly said, "In that case, can I see your true face?"

At this moment, he could see Charles' cheek and even see the position of the hair on his face.

It looked extremely real, but he knew that this was not Charles' true face, but a face in his subconscious.

A face that was born from a combination of some truth associations and people he was familiar with.

This is a way of using the power of destiny. It is very simple and direct, but to break it, you also need the simplest and most direct way.

"Of course." Charles paused. He expected that the other party would be able to notice the mask on his face, but he didn't expect him to directly raise this suggestion.

After nodding, Charles slowly wiped his hand across his cheek, and a transparent and clear "mask" that looked like flowing liquid was taken off by him.
