Sorting out his thoughts, Tang also considered several contingency plans that could utilize this module.
The remaining gains...
"Other than that, there's only one extraordinary characteristic of the Iron-Blooded Knight left."
A demigod-level extraordinary characteristic, emmm, not too bad.
Thinking about it, Tang buried his face in the pillow, "This is killing me."
After rolling around a few more times, he looked at the ceiling, his eyes vacant, his mind wandering.
"Next, it depends on what the Night Church intends. The Angel of Concealment, capable of mobilizing a sealed artifact of that level, plus the goddess's descent, She already knows what the Dark Side of the Universe is trying to do."
And he himself shouldn't have revealed anything in front of this Mother of Concealment.
Tang began to replay the scene in his mind of him coming out of Euclid's space and fighting the vessel of the Dark Side of the Universe.
"I changed my face, and indirectly released my Sequence through the System's control over my body. Euclid's space, the System, and my own Sequence can all exhibit anti-divination and anti-prediction abilities."
The System belonged to the Knowledge Wilderness, his Sequence and Euclid's space both belonged to the higher-dimensional world, and he himself was closely bound to the System. Euclid's space was also related to his spirit body. With these three intertwined, plus the System's essence being related to the Knowledge Wilderness, with so many buffs stacked, it should be difficult to see through.
"Plus the爆发ed abyss and Chaos Sea pollution, even if the Night Goddess was already in position from the very beginning, She might not be able to see anything through the Angel of Concealment."
"The only two problems are the Never-Ending Theater and the Chaos Sea pollution爆发ing from the Sun Scepter."
Who would have thought there was a goddess watching overhead? Who could have guessed that?
Tang wiped his face. It was his fault too. He had too much faith in Euclid's space's observation capabilities.
The Never-Ending Theater, this sealed artifact had appeared in Tingen before. Afterwards, to divert the attention of the church's high-levels, his father had also left Tingen.
"The church's high-levels might not be able to see that the sealed artifact that appeared in Tingen before was an angel-level sealed artifact of the Seer pathway, but if the goddess knows about this and investigates downwards, it's easy to find that the sealed artifact I used is similar to the one that appeared in Tingen, or even the same item."
Thinking about it made his head hurt. Tang banged his head against the pillow, going a little crazy for a while with no real purpose.
If the goddess knew that the Never-Ending Theater was related to the Dark Side of the Universe, then Tingen's suspicion would suddenly become very high. After all, the Never-Ending Theater was originally a sealed artifact that appeared in Tingen.
The situation escalated, and the church might thoroughly investigate again, sending Beyonders of higher Sequences. This wasn't impossible.
"And if this matter is related to the descendants of Death, and also involves the primordial one..."
A Beyonder of the Seer pathway related to the descendants of Death, carrying a '0' level sealed artifact and an item related to the primordial one, fighting against an evil god. Just thinking about it felt strange.
"Even if father has made some interference, the Night Goddess undoubtedly has extremely strong control over the authority of concealment, and might not be unable to see the truth of what father wants to conceal."
Putting aside the relationship between Death and the goddess, and also excluding high-level, high-Sequence things like the primordial one, just the fact that a descendant of Death was involved with this evil god of the Dark Side of the Universe would definitely change the attitude of the church's high-levels.
At that time, if the goddess issued a divine decree, perhaps a Sequence Two Servant of Concealment, an Earth Angel, would come to visit Tingen.
The goddess might not have locked down his identity, but necessary investigations wouldn't be few.
And whether the old fogey of a god had made arrangements in this, whether the old fogey would come to him because of the Chaos Sea, and whether he knew his true identity, then directly sit next to him and listen to his thoughts... ahhh, he didn't know, and didn't want to know.
"The Audience pathway is also one of the five pathways of omniscience and omnipotence. The Ancient Sun God also mastered a certain authority of the Chaos Sea, and the Imaginary Angel also borrowed the Chaos Sea after ascending to godhood, imagining the power of a half-Outer Deity..."
Even the current Adam might not be unaware of the Sun Scepter's own secrets, knowing that it was a magical item that could mobilize the power (pollution) of the Chaos Sea after meeting certain conditions.
It depended on whether the dual pollution of the Knowledge Wilderness and the Chaos Sea, as well as his own high Sequence, could make this King of Angels hesitate.
"Thinking about it now, being exposed under the eyes of the Night Goddess and the Imaginary Angel is really creepy. Just thinking about it makes me a little scared."
The King of Angels of the Audience pathway, bleh.
The Night Goddess, also... never mind, it's wrong to gossip about others behind their backs.
'Host, you're so double-standard...'
"Compared to the old fogey of the Audience, I'd rather deal with the Night Goddess. After all, with the Audience pathway, who knows when they might secretly inject something into my subconscious without me noticing? At least as far as I know, the goddess does transactions with clear prices."
'Emmm, alright~'
Of course, Tang didn't want to deal with either of them right now.
One shouldn't have to choose between something unpalatable and something even more unpalatable, right?
People can't, at least shouldn't.
"Still need to prepare early."
Aaaah, don't think about it anymore, shut down, go to sleep first, whatever it is, wait until he wakes up.
There was something called mental fatigue. Having advanced to Trickmaster and then gone through a major escape, Tang only felt that he should get a good night's sleep to replenish his energy.
Rubbing his aching temples, Tang's thoughts quickly settled down, and he soon entered a dream... then he was quickly woken up again by the System.
"What did you say?"
'Host, someone broke into your house.'
Tang: ?
He was dumbfounded.
Ah, no, did the goddess come knocking so quickly?
——
Tingen.
Beside the castle made of dark green bricks.
The baby-faced knight had a look of utter despair, "Why come here? I haven't finished my work today."
If he didn't complete his task, he was afraid he would go hungry tonight.
Just then, the unknown existence hidden within the baby-faced knight suddenly spoke, concisely and directly revealing what the baby-faced knight most wanted to know: "Don't you want to know how to enter the extraordinary realm? Look, the opportunity is right in front of you, it just depends on whether you can seize it."
"You mean... Lord's place?"
The baby-faced knight's eyes lit up at once, but he also looked equally cautious, "Lord probably won't accept my visit."
He pursed his lips, "And, Lord can't possibly help me either."
Only the captain of the knights was qualified to come to the lord's residence. Someone like him, still at the bottom, would probably be killed on the spot as soon as he entered.
His expression became gloomy, and he muttered very softly, "How could the extraordinary realm be so easy to enter? I have no money... my family doesn't have that ability either."
A chuckle seemed to echo in the depths of the baby-faced knight's mind. The voice said to the baby-faced knight, "Little guy, when you truly understand what the extraordinary in this world is, you will know that money is nothing to the extraordinary."
"...Of course, in the process of comprehending the extraordinary, it's not bad to appropriately acquire money as well."
"Sometimes, the difference between people is not just a simple difference in status. Experience, ability, background, and even a large amount of money can quickly bridge the gap between their statuses."
The middle-aged man with meticulously combed white hair laughed again, "Alright, get close to the wall, let's see what's inside. Think about other things after you meet the lord here."
Of course, there were no normal living people in the entire castle anymore. Everyone, including the 'lord's family' mentioned by the possessed, were all marionettes.
As the Sequence One Worm of Time, he should have noticed these things long ago, but limited by the current state of the possessed, coupled with the nearly perfect puppetry of the marionette controller, not long ago, all the marionettes in this castle fell down at the same time, and only then did he discover the abnormality here.
"Tsk, a noble, along with his servants, butler, knights, and himself, all turned into marionettes. Done by a high-Sequence Beyonder of the Seer pathway?"
And it wouldn't be just any high-Sequence, Sequence Four, Sequence Three, most likely an Earth Angel, or a sealed artifact and magical item of the same level.
Pales Zoroaster observed his surroundings with great interest. His current state wasn't bad. As an angel of the Thief pathway, the Sequence One Worm of Time, merely exploring a marionette castle of this level of adventure, as long as it didn't involve Amon's main body, he was confident that he wouldn't put himself or this possessed in danger.
"Or perhaps it's a trap deliberately set to lure me out? Maybe there's a possibility, but isn't this an opportunity for me to recover some characteristics?"
Facing Amon, who was of the same pathway and Sequence, Pales Zoroaster understood him best, and also knew best how to deal with this God of Deceit.
After all, the one who understands you best is often not yourself, but your enemy.
He hid himself very carefully and was sure that Amon hadn't discovered his踪迹. Even if there was a very small chance of facing an ambush by Amon's avatar and a high-Sequence Beyonder of the Seer pathway, this danger wouldn't threaten himself.
"Hmm, not long ago, a sealed artifact that should be of a high Sequence of the Seer pathway appeared in Tingen, and then this sealed artifact was targeted by the Trickmaster of the Secret Order..."
"And then, news of the appearance of the descendants of Death spread."
This Sequence One angel keenly noticed the subtle connections within.
Coupled with the current state of the entire castle, a guess slowly formed in Pales Zoroaster's mind.
So, he fearlessly stole the entity between the walls and entered the interior of the castle filled with marionettes along with the possessed.
"Sure enough, possessing a Beyonder is more helpful to me."
Pales Zoroaster sighed silently, facing the ignorant possessed whose mind was full of "so powerful, this is extraordinary power," he could only shake his head helplessly.
However, at the same time as entering, this Sequence One angel also noticed the诡异 state of the surroundings.
He made a "huh" sound. It was very quiet all around, no passing servants, no guarding knights. The candlelight illuminated the interior of the castle, but no one could be seen, as if it had been abandoned for a long time, but the ground was spotless, everything filled with a sense of disharmony.
"I like the environment here, at least it makes me feel somewhat human."
The old man sighed with emotion.
The baby-faced knight: "..."
He knew! He knew! He would go back to clean the house right away!
Clean old men always made people feel polite.
Tang stayed in Euclid's space, watching the chattering conversation between the intruder and the old man, silently sighed, and then took out a monocle from his pocket.
Just now, Tang had split off a spirit worm and used the 'Bionic Marionette' module to give it to the War Bishop in Tingen. Then, the War Bishop used the Trickmaster's extraordinary abilities to catch an insect and make it into a marionette. He then exchanged with the insect marionette, thereby completing a super long-distance marionette replacement.
"After advancing to Sequence Four, plus the help of the 'Bionic Marionette' module, it will be very difficult to catch me."
As for the function of the monocle?
'New task updated.'
'Task: [The Roleplaying of the Trickmaster]'
'After advancing to 'Trickmaster', you have truly undergone a fundamental change!诡谲, terrifying, horrifying, and madness are the truths that a Trickmaster adheres to throughout their life. Please digest the potion as soon as possible and summarize the roleplaying rules of a Trickmaster!'
'Task completion rate: 27%'
"Roleplaying in advance was indeed the right thing to do." Look, wasn't this another opportunity for roleplaying?
Tang used his divinity and spirituality to form layers of ripples, leveraging the power of this space.
After becoming a demigod and obtaining divinity, he could initially grasp some of the power of this space.
Of course, these still needed to be explored, and he could only initially apply them at present.
For example, now, through the essence of Euclid's space being higher than the real dimension, using divinity and spirituality as a medium, he could not only down-dimension some of his extraordinary powers, but also down-dimension a part of Euclid's space, allowing the projection of this space to appear in the real world.
There was a fundamental difference from the false demigod...
Tang's figure quickly appeared in his room.
After noticing someone trying to enter the castle, all the marionettes here were retrieved into the theater under the theater core's hidden power. The current entire castle was just an empty shell, leaving nothing behind.
Therefore, the entire castle was森森, giving people the詭谲 feeling that one second there were still people here, but the next second everyone had disappeared.
The projection appeared, but the main body was still in Euclid's space, so Tang was naturally not too afraid of this angel of the Thief pathway.
At the same time, he was also thinking about how Pales Zoroaster had discovered the secrets of this castle.
Soon, he also understood the problem.
"Before, when the theater core was switched over, the spirit thread's control was interrupted. Even in the hands of a Miracle Invoker, marionettes that were detached for a period of time wouldn't immediately die by dispelling the marionetting, but they would be unresponsive due to the loss of the puppeteer. At the same time, without the Miracle Invoker's concealment, it's not surprising that this angel noticed it."
