Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 341 Gift
The moment Luke took out the monocle from his pocket, Leonard's expression froze.

A terrified and trembling voice rang out in his mind. It was the voice of a powerful and mysterious old man who was not in a good condition but could still give him a lot of help. He was both his teacher and friend.

"run!"

Leonard found himself losing control of his body as the trembling voice rang out. An abundant and powerful spiritual energy poured into his body. He involuntarily stretched out his hand and grasped it, as if he was grabbing something. Then his eyes blurred.

The scene in my field of vision has changed. Rows of wooden chairs are arranged in an orderly manner. An aisle leads straight to the bishop who is preaching at the top. The narrow and tall windows inlaid with fine blue and red patterns let in wisps of colored light, so blue that it is almost black, and so red that it looks like the moon, making the surroundings unusually dark.

In just a moment, Leonard disappeared from the Blackthorn Security Company and arrived at St. Selena Church on Red Moon Street, as if the distance between them had been stolen out of thin air.

"This……"

Leonard was stunned and at a loss for what to do.

At this time, the old man named Pales Zoroast breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was relieved by the peaceful atmosphere in the church.

"I was mistaken."

If he really was Amon, the "blasphemer" who was the second son of the ancient sun god, the only spirit who could even temporarily steal the authority of the gods, he would not be able to escape in his extremely poor condition. The suppression of the upper sequence on the lower sequence of the same path is very strong.

Moreover, Amon always likes to parasitize in a plague-like manner. Wherever he passes, all humans, animals, insects and even microorganisms will be turned into his clones. If it were really him, everyone in the Blackthorn Security Company should have been parasitized.

If the man who took out the monocle had not suddenly said "Found you", and if the secret society member who died a few days ago had not been killed in a way that only an angelic person could use, he would not have been deceived!
When Grandpa Pales was thinking and reflecting, a depressed voice sounded.

"I don't know what you did wrong, but have you ever considered my feelings?"

Leonard spoke slowly, his eyes full of resentment and distress.

He was a Sequence 8 "Midnight Poet" of the "Sleepless" pathway. How could he explain to his companions that he had moved from Zouteland Street to St. Selina's Church on Red Moon Street in an instant?
……

Blackthorn Security Company.

A living person disappeared out of thin air, shocking everyone present into a state of panic. Luo Shan looked around blankly, at a loss as to what to do. Klein and Cornley were the same, and the latter's face became solemn.

Could it be that some extraordinary being or sealed object is causing trouble?

At the same time, Lu Ke's eyes became deeper, and his temperament became gentler and more kind, making people subconsciously feel that he was a harmless, safe and honest person.

He successfully defrauded a thief with the "Time Worm" of Sequence One, causing a huge emotional fluctuation in the other party. His "Swindler" extraordinary characteristic was almost completely digested within less than a day of taking it.

The reason why he couldn't digest it completely was probably because Pales was in such a bad state, and although the other party was frightened, he didn't lose anything. It didn't completely fit the concept of "fraud", which is to obtain something from the other party through deception.

But it was just one step away. He only needed to tell a few more lies to completely digest it and take advantage of the Beyonder properties of Sequence 7.

In fact, due to his rapid promotion, Luke had not even prepared for the next stage of Sequence 6 Beyonder characteristics. It was difficult to find a Sequence 6 to eat in a small place like Tingen. Perhaps he could go to Backlund...

Lu Ke temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind, pinched the monocle on his left eye, and pretended to be confused.

"Why did that gentleman suddenly disappear?"

At this moment, an invisible force began to erode Lu Ke's consciousness, making him feel tired and sleepy involuntarily. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a dream.

A deep, magnetic male voice sounded.

"Cornley, you will take over my duty of guarding the Chanis Gate."

Dunn Smith, a man with deep grey eyes and a high hairline, walked out of the stairs leading to Chanis Gate. He rubbed his brows and gave instructions calmly.

He actually knew some of Leonard's secrets, but if such things were exposed, it might cause inquiries and investigations from the Temple. He did not want his teammates to encounter such things. As long as there was no trouble, he would choose to turn a blind eye.

"Klein, go find Old Neil and use divination to locate Leonard."

Dunn sighed and turned his gaze to Luke, who had his eyes closed and looked peaceful and serene. His eyes gradually became sharp. This friend of Klein had just arrived and something unusual had happened. He was somewhat suspicious and needed to be investigated!
"Captain, Mr. Jenova is Klein's friend."

Luo Shan, who was standing next to him, noticed that the atmosphere seemed a little strange and gave a gentle reminder.

"I know. Don't worry. I won't hurt him. I'm just asking a few simple questions. This is a necessary procedure."

Dunn calmed the worried Roxanne and spoke in a low voice.

"Whether you have secrets or not, or what secrets you have, you are always honest in your dreams."

As the "Nightmare" of Sequence 7 of the Insomniac Pathway, Dunn can force or guide others to dream, and can also enter the dreams of others to influence and weave dreams to a certain extent.

He closed his eyes and entered Luke's dream.

……

The dream was shattered so quickly that the second hand on the wall didn't even make a full circle.

Less than a minute later, Dunn opened his eyes again. He ran away from Lu Ke as if he had seen a ghost, backing away repeatedly, his face full of embarrassment and confusion.

Dunn didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the curve of the young man's mouth seemed to be a little deeper.

Recalling the scene he had just seen in his dream, Dunn's eyes were complicated, containing disdain for vulgar people, regret for the degenerate youth, and a trace of envy that he wanted to deny but had to admit.

It has been nine years since Dunn became a nightmare, and he has entered the dream countless times, but this is the first time he has seen such a... vulgar dream.

That scene, viewed from afar, was filled with white and pink. Amidst the flowers, only the majestic evil parts appeared and disappeared in the waves of flesh at a very fast frequency.

How could the reserved and reserved people of Loen dream of such a thing? In reality, this kind of silver handkerchief would be far ahead of the straightforward and unrestrained places like Intistril.

Because it was too outrageous, Dunn regarded the scene in the dream as a delusion that the young man had suppressed for a long time. He endured the embarrassment and asked a few questions to confirm that the other party really knew nothing and ruled out suspicion.

He then re-wove a dream, replacing himself with Leonard. He greeted the young man in front of him on Leonard's behalf. The two of them briefly exchanged a few words about Klein's recent situation, and discussed some trivial polite words about the weather. Then, something happened in the company, so Coenley and "Leonard" returned to their posts, and Klein also had to work overtime.

Everything is normal.

Nightmare does not have the ability to modify memory, but it is possible to create a memory that makes people unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, causing confusion in the memory of ordinary people.

After doing these things, Dunn reminded Roshan, "Now he will feel that he has talked with Leonard and that he left for something. Don't make the mistake."

Roshan nodded, "Is there nothing wrong with Mr. Jenova?"

"No, he is an ordinary person, just send him back."

Dunn hesitated for a few seconds, then spoke up to remind him, "But it's best not to get too close to him."

"why?"

Luo Shan was very puzzled. She still had a good impression of Lu Ke, who was handsome and sweet-talking.

Dunn opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He couldn't question someone's character just because of an erotic dream. He smiled bitterly and turned away.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." A few minutes later, Lu Ke slowly opened his eyes, with no more doubt or confusion in his eyes.

He looked around and asked politely, "Are Klein and the others busy?"

"Yes."

Luo Shan beside him smiled slightly: "The rest of Klein's colleagues are not here. You have also met Cohen Li and Leonard in the company."

Luke showed a regretful expression, "Looks like it's time to say goodbye."

"Can you sit for a while until they are done? Do you want me to pour you a cup of coffee or tea?"

Luke smiled and shook his head. “With Klein not here, it’s a bit awkward for me to be here. Let’s just forget it.”

The most embarrassing thing about going out with friends is having to face the friends of friends after your friends leave.

He added, half flatteringly and half sincerely, "Besides, it's not good for the heart to stay with a beautiful lady like you for a long time."

Simple, straightforward and teasing love words are suitable for Trier or Feynaport, and this kind of subtle yet slightly exaggerated teasing is considered a favorite among ladies in Loen.

Roshan covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, her cheeks slightly red, her eyes moving, "Xenovia, have you said this to many girls?"

Lu Ke shook his head seriously, "How could that be? You are the first one in this world."

Luo Shan didn't want to believe this at first. Whether it was his appearance or the way he dressed, someone like Lu Ke should be quite popular with the opposite sex.

But looking at the other person's sincere expression and feeling the trustworthy temperament of the other person, she couldn't help but believe it.

So she returned to her seat and held up the newspaper to cover her blushing cheeks. This was the modesty of a lady, and she could not easily let the man see her affection.

After all, they had just met and didn't know each other well enough. They needed more time to get along with each other and wait for the man to confess before she would agree to be his girlfriend.

Lu Ke felt something when he saw Luo Shan's performance.

The best scam is a true lie.

Just as these words suddenly popped up in his mind, stars appeared in his eyes again and the sound of bubbles bursting rang in his ears.

After deceiving Dunn and Roshan and summarizing the role of the "swindler", the only trace of the "swindler" extraordinary characteristics that were left were completely digested.

After returning, he can eat the Sequence 7 "Magician". By then, his spirituality will be greatly improved, and he can hold more rituals and borrow the real "gift" from the original body.

This does not refer to the servant Parrot's cooking skills, which are just simple knowledge. He is referring to the real "gift" that belongs to Luke, which is a collection of Lukes from many worlds.

Thinking of this, Lu Ke's mood couldn't help but improve, and he felt like his trumpet was gradually developing.

He stood up, said goodbye to the shy Roxanne, and got on the carriage back to the apartment in the darkening sky.

……

After having the dinner prepared by Parrot and washing up, he meditated for a while to adjust his state.

When everything was ready, Luke lit the three candles for the ceremony. As the dim candlelight slowly lit up, he took a step back and read in Hermetic:
"The entropy increaser of disordered expansion, the alien god on the other side of the starry sky, the division and aggregation of all extraordinary characteristics."

As the honorific name was pronounced, a breeze began to blow around, and an invisible force made the candle flames flicker. Lu Ke solemnly took out a floating ball of unidentified matter and continued to chant.

"I pray for your help."

“I pray that you will grant me the ability to devour Sequence 7 Beyonder Characteristics.”

As if being pulled, the floating unidentified substance was slowly delivered to Lu Ke's mouth, and he slowly swallowed it into his stomach like jelly.

It was like a ball of fireworks exploding in his mind, and inexplicable mutterings rang in Lu Ke's ears.

"Honakis...Flegera...Honakis...Flegera...Honakis...Flegera..."

Luke's body began to twitch slightly, and the flesh under his skin squirmed as if it had life, especially in his arms. These strange phenomena quickly calmed down under the pressure of the invisible force.

In just a blink of an eye, Luke successfully passed the dangerous period of taking the potion and became a true Sequence 7 "Magician"!
He opened his eyes, and the spirituality that had not yet dissipated overflowed, making his pupils appear particularly bright. Without waiting for the ceremony to end, he began his second prayer.

This time, he changed the prayer.

"Everything returns to one, the paradox of energy conservation, the indescribable unknown!"

This new three-stage structure is a more direct collection of Luke's many powers, which comes from the power of the golden finger shared space. This part of the power is a power that even the original creator cannot understand or control.

"I pray to you."

"Pray for your grace."

"Please grant me the power of the 'Alien'."

As the prayers were chanted, the air around them became oppressive and sticky, and a shadow wearing a gray Taoist robe that was out of tune with the current world slowly emerged from the air.

The shadow was a young man who still had a youthful look. He was handsome and in high spirits, with his right hand rolling up the left sleeve of his Taoist robe.

The young man slowly approached Lu Ke and merged into his body bit by bit. His body, which had just calmed down, immediately began to boil. The veins all over Lu Ke's body began to bulge, expanding and contracting continuously, which was extremely horrifying.

It was as if the intense pain deep in his soul overwhelmed Lu Ke's consciousness. Even he couldn't help but groan at the horrible pain. He gritted his teeth and endured the continuous waves of tearing.

The entire room fell into silence and stillness, with only the faint sound of insects gnawing at flesh and blood continuing to be heard, and blood flowing from all parts of the body, staining the ground red.

Soon, this strong and sturdy body reached its limit and began to crack inch by inch, like a fragile container that could not withstand excessive force, and it turned into a bloody mess in an instant.

As if sensing that Lu Ke could not bear it, the shadow stopped and merged, dissipating in the air. A gust of wind blew, the prayer candles automatically extinguished, and the ceremony ended automatically.

Overwhelmed by pain, Luke lay on the blood-covered ground. He was silent for a long time, and finally uttered the first word after the ceremony.

"grass!"

Damn, it hurts so much!
Unlike other Outer Gods who have sequence and level divisions, the power of Luke, who comes from other worlds, has no precise standards.

He forgot to tell his main body in his prayer that the "blessing" should be about the same strength as the current sequence, and as a result, his main body really kept stuffing it until the limit of this body was reached.

Lu Ke barely resisted the urge to curse himself. After resting for a while, he closed his eyes. A red light appeared on his body and the cracks in his body began to heal at an astonishing speed.

In a short moment, Lu Ke's body returned to normal, and his physical fitness even improved.

“But the harvest is still good.”

He felt the power in his body and nodded.

It is about the level of Sequence 6, with a variety of abilities, a solid foundation, and all-round development. It is not too difficult to deal with ordinary Sequence 5.
