"It's you again!"
Turning around to see George standing in front of him, Ammon's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Put down the extraordinary ability in your hand and leave quietly, or do you want to play a game of smashing things with me."
George pointed to the Time Worm's extraordinary ability in Ammon's hand, a faint smile on his face.
Ammon, who was currently just a clone, wouldn't suffer any harm even if he were killed, so he didn't bother to take action.
That was, of course, if Ammon knew his place. If not, George wouldn't mind humiliating him thoroughly before making him disappear.
Ammon recalled the humiliating experience of being lifted by George and smashed back and forth, and his mouth twitched again. He then put down the Time Worm's extraordinary ability and left without a word.
The clone that split off from Sequence 2 also affected his strength.
Previously, he had just been killed by George in the Forsaken Land, and now another clone was killed. His main body's strength was now only 80% of its original power, and he needed to rest for a while to recover.
Rather than fighting and losing, it was better to give up and find another way with Adam.
"A game of smashing things?"
Klein, who had finally relaxed after seeing Ammon leave, stood up with a hint of doubt on his face.
However, he didn't ask any further questions.
"He's quite sensible."
George walked forward and took the Sequence 1 Time Worm's extraordinary ability. Looking at Leonard, he said to the Palas Soorios inside him:
"Let's have a chat?"
Half an hour later, George returned to the Bekeland family's home.
His conversation with Palas Soorios was simple.
In the future, George would protect Palas Soorios and prevent Ammon from killing him. He would also help Palas Soorios recover to Sequence 2.
The price was Palas Soorios's Sequence 1 Time Worm extraordinary ability.
Palas Soorios had no objections because, without George's intervention, his Sequence 1 extraordinary ability would have been taken by Ammon anyway.
As for whether Ammon would kill him, it depended entirely on Ammon's mood.
Currently, the only way to protect himself was to accept George's proposal, which would at least allow him to survive as a Sequence 2.
"You can start taking the potion now."
Two days later, after feeling that the potion had been fully digested and the ritual was complete, George swallowed the potion and began to advance to Sequence 1 Mystic.
Because he followed the process exactly and had incredibly strong powers, his advancement was very smooth, without any danger.
"Now I can test my previous hypothesis."
After becoming a Sequence 1 Mystic, George immediately began constructing the Mystic Realm.
The Mystic Realm was the embryonic form of a divine kingdom that needed to be created after advancing to the next sequence, the Fool. It was equivalent to the incomplete world George had created before.
He had previously hypothesized that if he could merge the incomplete divine kingdom embryo into his created world, allowing his world to fully absorb the Mystic Realm's laws.
Perhaps he could use these laws to freely convert the massive energy within him into spiritual energy.
Many magical and ability conversions would also become much simpler, without requiring more time for research.
If it were possible, it would mean that he could release all his strength without being detected by his true body.
At that time, even as a mere Sequence 1, he could release power equivalent to that of an Old Day.
If he added the Source Fortress, the top-level source quality, ordinary Old Days would not be his match.
The Mystic's acting rule was to serve the Mystic Lord. George now possessed the Source Fortress, equivalent to the Mystic Lord.
As soon as he advanced, the potion in his body was fully digested, allowing him to fully unleash the Mystic's abilities.
That's why he almost instantly completed the construction of the Mystic Realm.
"Merge!"
After constructing the Mystic Realm, George activated his world, engulfing it in one bite, and began to quickly parse and merge.
In about half a day, the Mystic Realm was completely merged into his world.
"As I thought."
George couldn't help but smile, his hypothesis was correct.
After merging the Mystic Realm, with just a thought, the magic within him was instantly converted into spiritual energy that conformed to this world's rules.
This gave him spiritual energy equivalent to that of an Old Day, even as a Sequence 1.
"Next is the True God ceremony."
George stroked his chin, considering the True God ceremony.
The advancement ceremony for the Fool sequence was to deceive time, history, or fate.
Essentially, it made the ascender feel a sense of incongruity, and their spirit, which had merged with all things, would pop out slightly, regaining some self-awareness and no longer losing themselves.
He wasn't worried about losing himself, but to achieve perfect advancement, he decided to use the ceremony.
The question was, how to deceive time, history, and fate. He didn't have many ideas.
For now, he could only refer to Antigonus's method.
Antigonus had used the method of deceiving fate to advance to the Fool. He had Adam hypnotize and implant memories into a half-god of the Empire, making the half-god believe he was Antigonus.
Then, Ammon stole his identity and fate, and Antigonus used grafting to give his identity and fate to the half-god.
The half-god then lived as Antigonus for a period.
Later, Antigonus removed the graft, and Ammon lifted the theft. Everything returned to normal, and the ceremony was complete.
If Antigonus hadn't lacked a Sequence 1 extraordinary ability at the time, he would have become a true Fool, not just a half-Fool.
However, that would also mean that the Celestial Being would fully revive in his body.
"It's too troublesome; the Door and Error paths' advancement ceremonies are simpler."
George shook his head, deciding not to use Antigonus's method, although he could have completed the process with magical assistance from other worlds, even without Ammon and Adam.
But that would have taken at least a few years, which wasn't worth it.
Instead, he thought it was better to jump directly to the Door and Error paths and use their ceremonies to complete his advancement.
After all, adjacent paths could be jumped freely, and these two paths' deification ceremonies were too simple for him.
First, the Door path: as long as he escaped from the True God's seal and exile, the ceremony would be complete.
With his current strength, the True God's seal was nothing he couldn't handle with a single slap.
As for the Error path's deification ceremony, it involved replacing someone else's position in their ceremony.
That was also not difficult for him. He could just put Mr. Door back and forcefully replace him during his deification ceremony. After all, Mr. Door was no match for him.
