The method for separating a Rampagerās mental corruption from a Beyonder characteristic⦠The Hermit Cattleya shot a glance at The World and guessed that he mightāve obtained one to two Beyonder characteristics that a Rampager left behind. In addition, one of them likely involved the advancement characteristic for The World or someone close to him.
This was a very easy inference since if one didnāt use a Beyonder characteristic as the main ingredient of a potion, the mental corruption of a Rampager in it didnāt matter if it was made into a mystical item. At worst, the negative side effects would be extremely strong, making it equivalent to a Sealed Artifact, but that didnāt mean that there was no way of using it.
After adjusting his emotions, Klein controlled The World to answer hoarsely, āWrite it on a piece of paper and pass it to me.ā
With that said, Klein originally wished to encourage Little Sun for being a trustworthy person, but upon considering how The Worldās image was that of a gloomy and reserved person who didnāt say anything else unless he had ulterior motives. He instantly fell into a slight dilemma.
No, thereās an ulterior motive⦠By letting Little Sun maintain his principles, it will make things a lot easier in the future. To put it simply, it will be easier to fleece him⦠Of course, Iāll have to suffer the damage from his honesty and uprightness as a result⦠The World is an experienced and shrewd Beyonder in the eyes of Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, and the others. They likely wouldnāt notice any problems⦠Kleinās mind raced as he made The World let out a deep laugh.
āYouāre really a trustworthy person. Your character is worthy of praise.ā
The Hanged Man pricked up his brows and took the initiative to say to Derrick, āIām also interested in the knowledge regarding this. What can I use to trade for this information?ā
He planned to do the transaction if it wasnāt too expensive, and he would give up if it exceeded his expectations. After all, he didnāt have any use for it at the moment.
Having been praised, Derrick was still lost in his joy. After two seconds of thought, he said with abnormal sincerity, āMr. Hanged Man, thereās no need. Youāve often been giving me suggestions in the past when I was faced with trials. Just treat it as a way of showing my appreciation.ā
⦠If The World is a real person and was drinking, he definitely wouldāve spewed out all the water in his mouth. Thankfully, heās neither drinking, nor is he real. Klein mustered all the Beyonder powers of a Clown to ensure his expression remained unchanged.
āā¦ā
The Hanged Man was briefly at a loss for words. The Sunās reply was completely out of his expectations.
He had been traveling the seas for years and had experienced numerous encounters. His outlook on things was no longer that of black and white, with it mainly shades of gray. At this moment, he felt a baffling sense of guilt.
āYour character is really worthy of praise,ā Alger quickly composed himself and praised Little Sun.
Donāt copy what I said! Canāt you use a different sentence⦠The World glanced at The Hanged Man as The Fool lamented how wily old foxes were all one and the same.
Dumbass! No, heās dumber than an ass! A dumb sheep! The Moon Emlyn silently condemned The Sun.
From this morning, he had been filled with anticipation for this Tarot Gathering, as he had already advanced to Baron and had wished to find a chance to covertly flaunt himself.
They might not be able to tell, apart from Mr. Fool⦠Mr. Hanged Man likely can guess it⦠I should do something later to let them know that Iām an honorable Lord Baron⦠Emlyn pondered as he listened.
Towards Little Sunās words, Justice Audrey didnāt feel any guilt or anger, as she knew very well that Mr. Hanged Man had been the one who had been guiding him every time. The others were only occasionally giving suggestions.
This is the natural result of being a good person⦠I hope Mr. Hanged Man will become kinder in the future⦠She watched this scene in delight and didnāt have the urge to spend money to obtain the method for separating the mental corruption from a Beyonder characteristic.
Derrick quickly turned around and obtained Mr. Foolās approval and conjured two yellowish-brown goatskin parchments.
Klein controlled The World and took a piece. He scanned it impatiently.
āThere are two methods. The first is to use an item that can steal the Beyonder powers of others. Extract the mental corruption left behind by a Rampager and concoct the Beyonder characteristic into a potion before the theft loses effect. This way, the mental corruption will have nowhere to go and will directly dissipate.
āThe second is to hold a ritual and pray to one of the two mystical items in our City of Silver. Use its feedback to shatter the Beyonder characteristic and let the mental corruption expire. After that, the Beyonder characteristic will automatically gather together slowly.
āI only managed to obtain the corresponding ritualās procedure and was unable to obtain the precise description of the item. Only the elders of the six-member council have the right to know it and preside over such a ritual.
āThe ritualās procedure isā¦
Hmm⦠Thoughts went through Kleinās mind as he nearly forgot to control the dummy, The World.
The first method is indeed something I never considered before⦠The Sealed Artifact, Blood Vessel Thief, behind the Chanis Gate in Tingen City is able to steal a targetās Beyonder powers. By viewing a mental corruption as one of them, thereās nothing wrong with this logicā¦
But here comes the problem. The mental corruption inside the All-Black Eye isnāt that of an ordinary Beyonder but from the evil god, True Creator. Regardless of if itās the Beyonder whoās stealing the power or a mystical item of a similar trait, it will not be able to withstand such mental corruption. The former has a hundred percent chance of losing control, while the latter will directly be corruptedā¦
In theory, I can sacrifice a similar mystical item and use it to replace the All-Black Eyeās corruption. However, the timing has to be done perfectly without any errors; otherwise, the two items might end up corrupted.
Klein quickly analyzed the viability of the first option. As for the second option, it was similar to his and Edwinaās previous guess. Only the details were somewhat different.
The two powerful mystical items in the City of Silver are, at best, Grade 0. Basically, it canāt be a true godās Sequence 0 remains; otherwise, they wouldnāt be in such a pathetic state in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Therefore, does it mean that in order to shatter a Beyonder characteristic, one doesnāt need a godās strength? Itās enough to do it at the level of an angel? According to Little Sun, an angel is equivalent to a subsidiary god and can barely be considered a godā¦
Yes⦠This matter can be verified. Sea God Kalvetua only obtained a portion of Calamity Cohinemās characteristic. The remaining part is in the Book of Calamity⦠There might even be a third part. I wonder where itās hidden since it helps this high elf, at the level of an angel, be able to resist death. In short, it can be seen that Cohinemās Beyonder characteristic was split into at least two parts. This is essentially the same as shattering a Beyonder characteristic.
With all the evidence validating each other, I can make a preliminary conclusion that as long as the ritual is right, the feedback of a powerhouse at the angel level will be able to shatter a Beyonder characteristic. Then, here comes the problem. Where do I find an angelā¦
Mr. Azik might be one at his peak, but he clearly hasnāt recovered yet. As for Saints, Snake of Fate, Will Auceptin, is only a fetus that hasnāt even been born at the moment.
Klein didnāt spend too much time thinking, deciding to consider how to resolve the problem after the Tarot Gathering ended.
With that, Alger quickly scanned the area and gained an understanding to a certain degree.
Towards this, he had a theory.
Getting The World to seek the method to separate the mental corruption from a Beyonder characteristic is likely a test Mr. Fool had given to his Blessed.
But does this imply that Mr. Foolās strength has only recovered to the level of a Saint and not an Angel? Otherwise, thereās no need to go through such trouble. He couldāve directly removed it.
How long has it been? Itās just been seven months and Mr. Fool has already recovered to this extent⦠Right, āHeā can already respond in place of Sea God Kalvetua!
In another one to two years, he will likely be able to escape from his seal. Standing at the pinnacle as an Angel, he will just be one step short of the ultimate goal.
Ignoring The Hanged Manās reaction, Cattleya looked at The Hanged Man and thought for a few seconds before chuckling.
āIām not sure if those methods include one of the methods I know of.
āI can provide it for free. An Unshadowed of the Sun pathway can directly cleanse away the mental corruption in a Beyonder characteristic.ā
Maāam Hermit is a lot more proactive than the last time⦠Has she adjusted her state of mind, or does she have a motive? Or could it be that sheās discovered that everyone else is a weakling, so thereās no need to be too careful⦠Klein was first surprised with Cattleyaās attitude before being delighted that he had obtained a third method. It was from the Sun pathway which the City of Silver lacked.
But I canāt find the help of an Unshadowed, although I do have an incomplete Unshadowed potion formula⦠He controlled The World to deliberate for a moment before having him turn to Cattleya to laugh deeply.
āThank you for your generosity, Maāam Hermit.ā
Following that, he switched to the demeanor of a salesman and asked Derrick, āDo you know of a book named Groselleās Travels?ā
Derrick thought seriously before honestly shaking his head.
āNo.ā
No⦠Klein nearly failed to continue what he had to say, but thankfully, he steadied himself and let The World explain himself, āItās a magical book that originates from dragons. Many of its owners have vanished.ā
āOriginates from dragons?ā Audrey keenly noticed this important point as she asked with interest.
āYes, a Beyonder plans on selling it for 8,000 pounds,ā The World said hoarsely.
He didnāt raise the price above Edwinaās offer because he had yet to bargain with her. This was where he could profit on the trade. Besides, even if Edwina insisted on 8,000 pounds, he could still obtain Groselleās Travels and study it. It was worth the time he spent closing the deal.
Audrey pursed her lips slightly as she darted her eyes around a little and cautiously asked, āWhatās so magical about it?ā
ā⦠It requires further study.ā The World chose to be honest.
āIāll consider it.ā Audrey wasnāt in a hurry to agree to it because 8,000 pounds was also a considerable sum of money to her as well. Especially with her having just been reimbursed for Lie, it was very difficult for her father, Earl Hall, to accept a book of unknown purpose. And if she were to rely on herself, it would take her at least three to four monthsāthis was built on the premise that she had already purchased the Psychiatristās Beyonder characteristic for Susie.
Hence, she turned to ask The World about the Psychiatrist Beyonder characteristic.
⦠I mainly spent this week hunting Vice Admiral Ailment and failed. I didnāt find a Grazing target to switch to⦠Klein was instantly left somewhat embarrassed, feeling as though The Worldās shrewd image had been damaged.
