Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 198 The Core Abilities of the “Weird Guest” (2)

Of course, after being blessed by the "Between Reality and Illusion", Star seems to be invincible? In other words, he doesn't have to worry about his life being in danger?

After all, if Star died, it is hard to say that "Between Reality and Virtuality" would not have any impact on the source quality and uniqueness here?
In this way, he was like holding an "automatic-trigger nuclear weapon". After Adam and the goddess knew about it, it was impossible for them not to take care of it.

But Star didn't know how to define it, and words like "probably" and "should" were still unstable.

And he had made many worst-case scenarios from the very beginning.

For example, when he was in Tingen City, he might have been driven to Backlund by someone.

As for someone's plan, Star still doesn't understand why He did this. Is it just to prevent himself from interfering with the arranged script?

Moreover, it seems that He has never shown up to deal with an existence like himself that carries the threat of world destruction?

Star had many doubts in his mind.

Scared? But it is hard to say whether the “between reality and illusion” will swallow Him up.

In his situation, he should be considered to be the only Lord, so it is difficult to judge whether he will be interested in him "between reality and illusion".

After all, Xiao Ke is not yet at the angel level, and cannot be considered the master of "Source Castle", so "Between Virtual and Real" will react to "Source Castle".

If it really encounters something like the "Chaos Sea" that has an owner, "Between Reality and Illusion" will probably pick on the weak ones first...

Not only was Star confused about them, he was also confused about his own existence:

Why did he "travel through time"? If he really did travel through time, how did the "golden finger" between reality and illusion come about?
The reason of "a must-have for time travelers" cannot convince Star. After all, he already knows that he came to this world inexplicably a long time ago in the form of sealed memories and partial consciousness.

Also, what will happen at the end of the "tampering" path?
These things filled his heart, and sometimes Star had to find some fun with Xiao Ke to divert his attention.

Otherwise, his ties to this world do not seem to be enough to free him from the vicious circle of self-doubt.

But this is something he will have to face sooner or later.

After much deliberation, Star decided to rely on the two new abilities of [Transformation] and [Appearance] given by the "Stranger", as well as props such as talismans produced with the help of "Between Reality and Illusion" to complete the subsequent rituals as soon as possible.

At the same time, have more fun.

No, that's not called having fun, it's about establishing further bonds and memories with this world!
Star responded righteously, curling up the corners of his mouth and revealing a "healthy" smile.

After all, the relationship with Xiao Ke has reached this point, and he also has this disguised "cooperative relationship" with Bai Zao.

With the blessing of "Between Reality and Illusion", it can be said that Star can just lie down in this sequence.

If Star wasn't worried about the "price" behind these "gifts", he would have really stopped and done something.

Anyway, with all the cheat-level abilities in "Between Reality and Virtuality", he has already stood in a situation where it is difficult to beat him to "Game Over"...

Doing whatever he wants and shaping the world in the direction he wants not only brings him pleasure, but is also one of the requirements for the subsequent "tampering" path to the demigod ceremony.

If there really is some conspiracy, the best way is to improve your own strength step by step.

In addition to this path, Star also saw the possibility of using [Transformation] to bring himself a huge boost.

If you must say it, the ability of [Transformation] is an upgrade of [Items], or it can be called [Equipment] of the "player" ability.

However, there were so many new effects derived from it that Star had to admit that after the upgrade, it was simply an all-powerful ability.

Star once speculated: Would the upgrade of [Items] be similar to [Skills], creating the ability of [Equipment] and [Equipment Bar]?

And it has the effect of "Knight will not die unarmed".

I never expected that this is indeed the ability of the "Knight".

It’s just that the ability of this “knight” is slightly different from what he imagined!

"[Transformation]: Allows the user to activate the magical power contained in the Beyonder characteristic, thereby manifesting a suit of armor that can resist damage, and switch between various forms to make good use of the power within."

(Note: The extraordinary characteristics used must not exceed the upper limit of the user's tolerance)

Originally, Star had imagined that after being enhanced with “items”, a Sequence 7 “Weapon Master” who truly possessed the “Warrior” path would be able to make good use of even “Seal Objects”.

Now it seems that it is close to having this effect, but it also seems not to be happening.

Because the blessed items limited to [Transformation] refer to "Extraordinary Characteristics", the range is not that large.

It can be said that this inherits the consistent style of the "tampering" approach. Just like the "dice rolling" of the "gambler" and the "skills" of the "player", it is an ability that requires "paying money".

It is an ability that requires external support to function well.

But Star will not underestimate it, because this can even be said to be the strongest core ability of "Weird".

After the "Stranger" uses the "Extraordinary Characteristic" [Transformation], the [Armor] will have a certain effect in resisting damage. It can even cancel the transformation state at the last moment when the "Stranger" is about to disappear, and help the "Stranger" to perform a [Resurrection] that does not require any consumption to resist a fatal blow.

The effect of "making good use of the power within" may seem unremarkable, but it simply brings out the inherent power of the magical item.

This is totally wrong!

At this moment, Star couldn't wait to take out the "Magician" extraordinary characteristic extracted by the "Search Spell" he had just made and experience it directly.

As for the style of the external armor, he temporarily used the highest-level item of the "tampering" method "between reality and illusion" to set it to a knight he was familiar with.

So Star officially started his first time:
"Transformation"!
Light and shadow effects that emerge with the "Magician" illusion ability and the "Stranger" [Appearance] ability.

Star walked out in an illusory flame that contrasted with the crimson moonlight.

Due to the "fire" contained in this "Magician" extraordinary characteristic and the inherent abilities related to "fire".

So Star finally chose the bird series combination of "Kamen Rider OOO" as the display form of this extraordinary characteristic external armor.

Because this is also a knight's flame form, which happens to be highly compatible with this.

And when Star truly experienced the enhancement effect of [Transformation] on himself, he discovered how significantly this armor improved his physical fitness.

Simply put, it gives Star the physical fitness equivalent of half a "clown", allowing Star to have strong body coordination and balance, and precise body control.

Agility and speed have improved by at least a quarter, and strength has also increased.

And this is an improvement based on his original physical fitness.

It is worth mentioning that with this subsequent improvement, the "Stranger"'s armor seems to be an external equipment that can be carried with him. It is easy to wear and flexible enough to allow Star to move without any shackles.

Not only that, but its lightness also allows Star to have a certain degree of affinity with the Joker's technical fighting style, and he has a keen fighting intuition as if he can predict the future.

So, combined with the "player's" inherent learning ability, Star became proficient in how to use this set of armor to fight in a short period of time.

As coin-sized ripples appeared behind it like a phoenix spreading its wings, Star intuitively knew more of the "strange guest"'s abilities in this form.

"If I want, I can use my spiritual power now to shoot those things behind me out like 'air bullets'?"

He just felt his spirituality slipping away like a trickle of water, and since this was someone else's hotel, Star didn't try out the power of this move after all.

Because he had already seen the general situation of this move in the "Panel" or the upgraded "Narration"/"Reconnaissance".

Several "air bullets" with power comparable to that of a revolver came at once, enough to cause large-scale effective damage to the enemy as soon as they appeared.

However, due to its poor accuracy, it is best used to clear out miscellaneous soldiers.

Otherwise, if you consume a lot of spiritual energy and don't hit anything, won't you fall into the "defeat" state of the knight right from the start? It will also greatly shorten the "transformation" time.

But spiritual issues are not a big problem for Star.

So Star did not continue to focus on this, but instead studied the two abilities [Transformation] and [Appearance], wanting to dig out the effects that have not yet been revealed.

As mentioned above, the effect of [Appearance] is combined with the other abilities of the "Stranger".

One of its effects is that the "stranger" can automatically stimulate its "potential" when "transforming", greatly improving its reaction ability, as if time has stopped, or as if the "stranger"'s own time has been accelerated, allowing the "transformation" to be completed in a short moment.

At the same time, since you need to stimulate your "potential" when you [appear on the stage], it is best to do some "transformation movements" to stretch your muscles.

By the way, this "transformation move" is not the embarrassing "masked dance" that some people do just for the sake of trying to get away with it.

At the same time, it is not impossible to cooperate with the "channel" ability of the "player" to stimulate the special effects required for "transformation" while making sound effects.

So, after adjusting the sound effects for [Appearance], Star casually wiped it down.

While switching to another form of this extraordinary characteristic, he heard an electronic sound coming from the surroundings: "Form Control"

With a big arc on his lips, Sta said:
"Henshin!"

The phantom of the light pattern appeared again, along with a trailing explanation:
"The Fool-Magician"

As the spiritual power continued to flow out, Star used his own physical fitness to bear the burden of "transformation" in this form, and he was slightly surprised.

"Is this the 'ultimate move' when the 'Stranger' transforms?"

Because of the elements of this loaded extraordinary characteristic, and because of the killing skills that the "Magician" already has.

When Star switched to this form, it seemed as if flames were accumulating in his hands and were about to burst out.

Picking up the armored bracelet, he somehow wanted to make a scanning motion to trigger the ultimate "ultimate move" of this form.

But his hand still stopped.

Forget it. Who would be so idle and idle in the middle of the night as to blow up someone else's hotel room?

Star then checked his other abilities during the "transformation" and finally cancelled the transformation into the "magician form".

"Don't you have the ability of 'Paper Doll Substitute'? Instead, there are many offensive abilities related to 'fire'."

"Yes, if the 'Stranger' can really master all the abilities contained in this extraordinary characteristic when 'transforming', it would be amazing."

"It's just that I don't need to worry about the consumption of spiritual energy. I have the 'unlimited health' given by the 'recovery spell', which allows me to last this long."

"Also, it is necessary to deliberately transform magical items into extraordinary properties. Otherwise, it would be too painful to suffer some negative effects while 'transforming'."

Star summarized his experiences during the "transformation", and then revised his guesses based on the information given by the "narration" and "panel".

"By the way, the form unlocked during 'transformation' needs to be evolved through practice many times to stimulate the 'potential' of the Beyonder characteristics."

"That is to say, if I hadn't used the 'Magician's Ring' for a long time, I might have only been able to unlock a 'Basic Form' just now?"

Star read the instructions given by the "panel" and didn't know what to feel for a moment.

[“Weirds” need to constantly stimulate “transformation” and “potential” to reach the extreme]

Should we say that he is worthy of being called a "Weird Man" similar to "Kamen Rider"?

Star thought back to the knights who had slowly grown stronger from the beginning, and he didn't have much hope of finding shortcuts.

Well, upgrading from "basic form" all the way to "final form" makes sense...

Anyway, it’s actually quite nice to experience the process of a knight leveling up and fighting monsters.

Haven’t you seen that the final forms of some knights are not much different from their basic forms?

It's just like they modified the leather case and used it, as if they owed funds.

After experiencing all this, Star also came up with an idea for his long-awaited idea of ​​creating a "Knight's Belt", which basically allows people to enjoy a similar "transformation" as him.

It’s just that the other effect of [Appearance] is difficult for others to experience.

unless……

Add money.

Because another effect of [Appearance] is that when the "Stranger" (Knight) "appears", he will automatically use "Tease" once to weaken the enemy while strengthening himself.

It has to be in the form of language.

Depending on the "appearance language", the buffs and debuffs applied will be different.

For example, "Well, let's start the experiment" and "Watch me complete the level with one life", most of which are self-enhancement.

For example, "I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by, you'd better remember this", "Come and count your sins", etc., the weakening effect on the enemy will be improved.

After the categories are divided, there are subtle differences in the "appearance language" within the same category.

For example, "My grandma said: I am a man who follows the way of heaven and controls everything" will add layers of prestige to yourself and gain a special attack buff against the enemy in the next battle.

And "I'm here" ("I'm here") can also gain a special attack buff against the enemy, but it will not make the enemy respect you, but will attract more hatred.

This seems to have also stimulated the ability to "roll the dice"? It's just that this time the "rolling the dice" will be successful.

This also reminded Star of a "Word Talisman" he once obtained, which had the function of "a super simplified version of making your words come true".

Could it be that this ability to [appear] is the source of the talisman?
He once made such a guess.

Just after making the talisman, Star discovered that this was not the "Word Talisman".

To be honest, there are similarities. Perhaps he would have to wait until he was promoted to Sequence 5 before he could have that "one word makes others anxious" effect.

But now, we still have to follow the rules of the "strange guest"'s "appearance".

The information obtained through "reconnaissance" at that time was that the power source of the "Word Spirit Talisman" belonged to the middle sequence.

Sequence 5 is also a middle sequence, which seems to be correct?

Star curled his lips and thought.

However, if the Tarot Club members wanted to use the belts they made to achieve the same "appearance effect" as themselves, it would cost them more...

I hope they don't just want to use the castrated version, otherwise the progress of bringing Kamen Rider back will be put on hold.

Star gave a faint smile, then turned to think about something.

From "rolling the dice" to "imagination" and then to the current "appearance", this is indeed a power of "change", but what do the other abilities reflect about the path of "tampering"?

Also, after choosing the corresponding field, it seems that the abilities gained and the abilities of the path are -

Somewhat similar, but also different?

After all, the ability of the "Gambler" is similar to the power of distorted order of the "Lawyer" path or the "Black Emperor" path.

The "talking patient" is also related to the emotion representing "desire".

The "Weird Guest" could barely explain that the ability of "Transformation" was similar to the "Fool"'s "Fool", the "Miracle" of the "Miracle Worker" and other powers in the "Mysterious" field.

But when it comes to "players", what does it have to do with "lucky people"? Are they all "chosen by heaven"?
"Player" and "destiny"?
Did he miss something?
Under the dark starry sky, Star was thinking in the room shrouded in dim lights.

But he suddenly glanced out the window instinctively, and did not continue to delve into this topic -

Now I should think more about my plans after promotion.

His thoughts drifted back to the conclusion he had just drawn.

It seems that since "appearance" and "rolling the dice" are related, there seem to be some "appearance lines" that cannot be said casually, so as not to set a flag and curse yourself.

Therefore, Star immediately used "Between Reality and Illusion" to delete some things from "Appearance" and "Script".

For example, "For the first time, I felt that blindness was a good thing" can greatly stimulate one's combat power.

But the story behind it makes Star "heartwarming".

Therefore, Star always stays away from this kind of knife-like buff.

Although this kind of thing can't happen to me, right?
The original text of the mystery said: Amon, the "thief" at the highest level, deleted and modified the knowledge transmitted by the "thief" channel he was in.

After truly accommodating the uniqueness of the corresponding field, its form can be changed.

Therefore, from then on, the setting of "Stranger" is really close to Kamen Rider in appearance.

As shown below:
"In this situation, he retracted the mask and transformed the cloak into a black windbreaker.

Then, he turned the crystal monocle into a pair of black gloves, and the eyeballs made of starlight into a cane inlaid with stardust.

——This is only a change in appearance, the essence has not changed. Once these two objects leave Klein, they will return to their original appearance. Of course, if Klein stabilizes and accommodates them, and revises the corresponding concepts and symbols again and again, they can change their forms permanently. "
