Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 170: Ince has become...

"Okay, now can you tell me how you know my name?"

Green pea vines hang down from the sky, interweaving in the air to form a lush and dense forest.

In the forest, green plants form a hammock-like seat that sways gently at high altitudes.

Tingen City was over. Sitting on the hammock made of pea vines, Bernadette looked at Star beside her and asked in a soft but flat tone.

Star laughed as he looked at Bernadette, who was about to be promoted to Sequence 2 "Sage" and become an angel.

Before, when I felt the position I created with "between reality and illusion", you were not so rebellious. You even thought I was your father...

Now that you have grown stronger, you can become more powerful?
Stario raised his hand and took out the excuse he had prepared long ago - the special smell contaminated by the mark of the "Hidden Sage", and then said:

"I happened to meet the Hidden Sage and got this..."

As for what happens after that, needless to say, smart Bernadette will figure it out in her own imagination.

But is there really a saint’s name in the knowledge that the “Hidden Sage” imparts to people?
Bernadette was a little confused, but she noticed that the pea vines around her created by "Yesterday's Reappearance" seemed to have their own consciousness in an instant, and the entire forest seemed to be ready to devour anyone.

She hurriedly asked Star to put away the polluting breath.

The premonition of danger flashed by, and soon, Bernadette's inspiration no longer warned her of anything.

At this time, not knowing how Star dealt with that breath, Bernadette guessed hesitantly for a moment:

Is this the agent of the gods? Or is he some kind of special being?
The caution brought by the "secret peeper" made Bernadette not ask more rashly, and just explained:
"I have to prepare for promotion. Where are you going?"

Star shook his head and said:

"Although what you did just now should be able to achieve the effect you need for the Ascension Ceremony, what if the Hidden Sage interferes during this process?"

"Are you sure you don't need my help again?"

Bernadette got stuck in her throat as she thought about how, if it weren't for the extraordinary person in front of her who helped her at the last minute in Tingen City, she might have missed this opportunity to be promoted.

In addition, Star's considerations made sense, and he seemed to have the ability to do so - judging from the special aura contamination mixed with the mark of the "Hidden Sage".

So Bernadette didn't say anything more polite, and nodded slowly:
"I owe you another favor."

Star just smiled and said nothing more, watching Bernadette take out the "Sage's Headpiece".

In fact, this relationship is easy to explain.

He had finally managed to catch up with an angel who was in good condition and had great power. If Bernadette died during the promotion, wouldn't one of the biggest gains of this battle be lost?

After all, according to the original development, after Bernadette personally sealed her father, the "Black Emperor" who was contaminated by the "Fallen Mother Goddess", during the promotion ceremony, if it weren't for Xiao Ke acting as the Fool to protect her, she would have almost been on the verge of losing consciousness several times during the ceremony.

At that time, not only would a large part of his own gains be lost - it would also be very difficult for him to deal with the creation of such an out-of-control monster.

As for how to influence it, of course, it is by "rolling the dice":

With the blessing of "Between Reality and Illusion", the ability to use "rolling dice" to change the probability of certain things and certain behaviors to a certain extent has bestowed Bernadette with a certain amount of good luck.

Of course, you can't go too far, otherwise there may be backlash, such as a "big failure"...

Thinking of this, Star glanced at the distant sky. Fortunately, he was not too greedy. It was enough to use "between reality and illusion" to achieve the current level.

Otherwise, if they encounter a "big failure" in the process of preventing the "real creator" from coming, and the "between the virtual and the real" also reacts to the "sea of ​​chaos", who knows how much trouble it will cause...

By the way, I was busy "tampering" with the effect of the ritual at that time, and Ins seemed to have taken advantage of this opportunity to use his "gatekeeper" ability to bring a spiritual creature to forcibly take Xiao Ke's first blood.

It was a pity that he was allowed to escape like this. But after all, it was He who arranged for Ins to leave the house with the red chimney outside Tingen City - to prevent him from taking people to Ins to get "0-08".

Judging from the situation, he thought that after Xiao Ke divined the house with the red chimney, he told him the relevant information, and he might be able to use it to locate Ins.

So, like Will, out of a fear that the extraordinary characteristics needed to become a god might be taken away from him, he made some changes.

Star was not unhappy about this, and thanks to the fact that the house where Ins was became the venue for the Aurora Society's ceremony, the final battle did not endanger others.

I just don't know why Ins gave him the same dark history as Emperor Roselle: "The taste of witch is really good."

He was also able to save Ins' life without making a fuss, allowing this pen holder who could become a saint to keep "0-08" for a while longer.

Should we say that He is worthy of being a being with only divinity and some obsessions...

I don’t know how Ince is doing now.

……

After coming out from the spirit world, Ins, carrying "0-08", suddenly felt that the strange-looking spirit creature next to him was getting restless.

He knew that he had to fulfill the terms of the contract himself.

Even the things that the spirit creatures ask for are very strange. The price can be limbs, blood relatives, lovers, sacrifices, the upper limit of spirituality, part of sanity...

This is a spiritual creature summoned by "0-08" at a less tragic cost, and it will not have any impact on his subsequent promotion.

Anyway, if it was necessary to perform a blood sacrifice himself, Ins dared to say that it was not worth mentioning.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ins felt that the spiritual creatures next to him had attracted their tribe.

Each one has his or her own strengths.

Each has their own unique tricks.

"No, what are you going to do?"

Ins suddenly realized that something was wrong and wanted to take advantage of "0-08" to rewrite his own ending.

But the seal "0-08" had already accumulated enough backlash for Ins to bear.

Then he was shocked to find that the feather pen numbered "0-08" had left his pocket at some point.

Now it jumped aside and wrote frantically on the ground:

"...In the process of traveling through the spirit world, there are always various accidents that happen. For example, Ince Zangwill's belt broke due to the weight and his pants fell off."

As if he couldn't hold it anymore, Ins's pants suddenly fell to the ground.

At this time, the spiritual creature, carrying a spherical object with a fishy yellow color and spikes, and its tribe - three other spiritual creatures, were slowly approaching Ins.

Some of them had rotten black bandages on their heads, some stretched out transparent tentacles covered with mucus, some stood up in front of their bodies with horns that were two sizes larger than Ins's palm, and some rubbed their scarlet tongues that were leaking out.

Wow! They turned out to be four big guys wearing very little clothing; their lewd eyes, lascivious smiles, and annoying movements showed that they were the best of the spirit world!

Looking at the spiritual creatures gradually approaching him, Ins could only scream loudly:

"Don't come over here!"
