Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 460 Promotion Sequence 1: "Knowledge Emperor" (10,000-word update, please vote!)

Sophia, the angel of Fenneport, saw a warship flying the Remnburg flag thousands of meters in the air!
On the bottom of that ship, large magic arrays were in operation, emitting a bright light.

It was slowly circling there, as if sailing on an unseen ocean.

Here they were above the clouds, the bright sunlight shining through the rolling dark clouds below, giving Sophia an unreal feeling to the scene before her.

After a two-second pause, Sophia came to her senses. Having lived for over a thousand years, this was the first time she had been amazed by weapons made by humans.

He immediately realized that this weapon must be very important to Remburg, so he launched an attack.

Just as Sophia had predicted, the ship was indeed very important; it was Remburg's command center, and the "Red Angel" evil spirit was currently on board.

This is a large "comprehensive command ship" with strong and extraordinary reconnaissance capabilities. From here, one can even clearly see the location of those extraordinary beings on Midway Island, because their spirituality is richer than that of normal people, and they can be detected even at high altitudes.

Even with thick clouds obscuring their view, the "Red Angels" could always keep track of the movements of Fenneport's demigods.

Those dozen or so missiles were just now being modified by this "command ship." Those missiles have a certain range, but they can fly for several minutes while constantly modifying their trajectories, and even enter the water or clouds without affecting their flight.

The angel Sophia raised her hand toward the Remnburg command ship and said in Hermes, "Execute!"

The light around the command ship suddenly dimmed, and a mysterious and powerful force appeared in the void, threatening to crush the command ship.

But in the next second, the area around the command ship suddenly brightened up again, with a hazy light that blocked the mysterious and dark "execution force".

Elbera appeared between Sophia and the command ship, stopping Sophia's sabotage.

Such an important ship is naturally guarded by the Angels of Remnantburg.

Regardless of whether the enemy can find the command ship, this is the best place for the angels to prepare for battle, ready to be deployed to the battlefield at any time, and able to provide sufficient protection for the command ship.

During her battle with Elbera, Sophia sent the image of the command ship in the clouds into Slick's prayer light.

……

Marshal Slick was already in a bit of a mess at this point.

After he ordered the demigods to consolidate their lines and protect the positions defended by the extraordinary beings, all the missiles went to attack other targets.

In the next minute, two salvos destroyed the two ports where all of Fenneport's warships were docked, and hundreds of ships were pierced by lightning, bursting into flames. These flames then subsided and ignited the decks and sails.

Fortunately, a storm was raging, and the fire was quickly extinguished by the heavy rain. However, the warships were severely damaged, with more than one large hole in their hulls. Many sank immediately, and even those that did not sink immediately required major repairs.

Fortunately, the navy knew that these ordinary sailing warships would be sitting ducks if they went to sea, so there weren't many people on board. Otherwise, the entire fleet's crew would have been electrocuted by lightning.

Following closely behind, the Governor's House, the courthouse, the legislature, and other buildings on Midway Island were also struck by lightning and left riddled with holes.

In particular, the governor's mansion, where the governor of Midway was nearly electrocuted.

Next came Fenneport's camp, where large parts of the camp were engulfed in white flames, and many soldiers were electrocuted and turned into charred remains. However, most soldiers fled the camp in the pouring rain, and for a moment they were lost in the rain, not knowing where to go.

Marshal Slick soon learned that it seemed that all the positions except those on the coast had been lost.

Fortunately, the losses of the extraordinary individuals are not too great. As long as these extraordinary individuals are here, the people of Remburg will not be able to set foot on this island!
Just then, Slick saw the image that Princess Sophia had shown him. Although he had some guesses, he couldn't help but be surprised that there really was something thousands of meters in the air!
Slick hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should ask James I to attack the strange warship as well.

Just then, Slick seemed to hear a sharp whooshing sound. He looked sharply into the interior of the island, where something dangerous seemed to be happening.

……

Slick's spiritual intuition was correct.

Just minutes earlier, in the rainforest of central Midway, a demigod from the spirit world appeared here.

Using his own abilities, he "pushed aside" a large area of ​​trees, creating a huge clearing in the rainforest.

Immediately afterwards, the demigod unfurled a massive piece of leather in the pouring rain, revealing numerous "Garr runes" and a "Traveler" trait embedded in a magic circle.

The torrential rain seemed to bypass the leather, leaving the "Garr runes" on it completely unaffected.

This is a "teleportation array"!
After the magic circle was activated, several "extraordinary rocket launchers" drove out and quickly completed their launch mission at one of the extraordinary positions.

The sharp, piercing sound was the sound of hundreds of rockets being launched.

Meanwhile, the Remburg warships in the distance launched another wave of missiles, and for a time the demigods of Feneport were busy dealing with them.

This was not the end. In a defensive position of the Extraordinary in Feneport, two Lenburg demigods suddenly appeared from the spirit world. One was responsible for dealing with the Extraordinary in the surrounding area, while the other activated a "teleportation array".

Suddenly, a large number of extraordinary individuals and "extraordinary puppets" rushed out, and the position was immediately lost.

By the time the Extraordinary Ones from other positions arrived to provide support, they had already used the "teleportation array" to evacuate, and had also laid landmines on the positions, resulting in the deaths of several more Extraordinary Ones.

……

Marshal Slick felt he was really struggling to keep up.

He first questioned his own command ability, and then began to reflect on whether he had made any serious tactical mistakes. But no matter how much he reflected or analyzed, he still couldn't find a way to solve the current problem.

Marshal Slick was unaware that he was facing Medici, the man who understood the "art of war" best in the world.

What Fenneport lacks is not only a generational gap in weaponry and command systems, but also a generational gap in strategic and tactical thinking.

Anyone who sees Remenberg's new weapons nowadays would be somewhat bewildered.

Even Odis, the designer of these weapons, understood them, but did not know how to use them scientifically and efficiently.

Only Medici immediately mastered these new weapons and was able to quickly find the best tactics.

He felt great commanding such an extraordinary force, whose tactics were more diverse, or rather, whose gameplay was more varied.

Just like the command system designed by Odis, if an ordinary person got their hands on this system, they would only find that it would make communication with various units more convenient.

But Medici was able to quickly come up with this flexible and versatile tactic.

In other words, this is a matter of command mindset. Even if Marshal Slick on the other side had such a command system, his command would not be much better than it is now.

At that time, the mainstream command mindset was still: simplifying commands and tactics.

This is because in current wars, including those before them, it is impossible to obtain real-time intelligence; one can only guess how the enemy will react after one launches an attack.

If you guess correctly, you win. If you guess incorrectly, the outcome depends entirely on luck.

That's why Marshal Slick's orders seem so rigid; for example, when a demigod attacks, it's "all attack" and when he retreats, it's "all retreat."

Medici's orders were very detailed, specifying when the "Extraordinary Rocket Launcher" would launch, how many rounds of bombing it would carry out, and when it would withdraw.

These are all generational gaps in tactical thinking.

At this time, Marshal Slick still possessed a large amount of extraordinary power, but he was in a completely passive and defensive situation.

The Extraordinary Beings sent to search for enemy rocket launchers were ambushed, and by the time more Extraordinary Beings were sent to provide support, the Extraordinary Beings in Lenburg had already withdrawn.

At this moment, the positions on the coast were attacked again, and after they returned to reinforce, rockets were launched from an unknown location.

In short, the Midway defenses are now like a sieve, allowing the Remnantburg army to attack whenever they want, leaving Slick with no choice but to react passively and without any proactive or effective measures.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour before James I, the "Hand of Order" of the Kingdom of Fenneport, ordered Slick: "Retreat."

In some ways, Midway is no longer under their control.

To this day, Fenneport's extraordinary power still gives him a considerable advantage.

Because this time they are truly waging this war with the full strength of the nation, even the demigods protecting the king have been mobilized.

But they still failed, and the initiative remained firmly in the hands of the weaker Remburg.

Continuing to fight will only gradually deplete more of our extraordinary strength, and once a certain critical point is reached, it could lead to a catastrophic retreat, at which point it will be too late to withdraw.

We can still evacuate some important figures from Fenneport's political and business circles, and we still have time to take all the gold with us before calmly withdrawing from the position.

So, in about half an hour, Fenneport's elite forces were evacuated from Midway Island in an organized manner.

Marshal Slick was among the last to leave. He felt the battle was extremely frustrating, and even now, Remburg's warships are still in the open sea, even on the horizon.

Remburg did not launch any massed attacks; they relied entirely on surprise attacks.

At this moment, the rain gradually subsided, and the sunlight shone brightly on the distant Rembrandt fleet, making the metal warships seem to emit a dazzling light.

The storm has stopped!

……

Rembrandt's victory at Midway did not cause much of a stir in the countries of the North Continent, or even within Rembrandt itself.

Because on the battlefield of Rune, the forces of Fussac and Intis had already reached the outskirts of Backlund.

Everyone is watching the situation in Backlund closely, hoping to make the best choice as soon as possible.

Even the nobles of Rune were prepared to surrender and negotiate.

For nobles, even if Backlund is occupied, they are still nobles; even if Loen is destroyed, they are still nobles.

Because the Fussac Empire and Intis also need a sufficient ruling class to help them control the situation in Rune.

Only Odis thought to himself, "That was close!" He had managed to achieve his strategic objective before the war of the gods.

At this point, Remnantburg's maritime forces were united, and they had their own base of operations in the middle of the raging sea.

Now that the war was over, all that remained was to wait for the outcome of the divine war, so Odis began to prepare for his ascension.

He had made preparations long ago, but Remnburg had been busy with war, revenge against the "Rose School," prevention of retaliation from the "Rose School," and going to the Forsaken Land, among other things.

Now that all the goals have been achieved, all that's left is to observe and wait, and finally, I can adjust my mindset and prepare for the promotion.

When Odis discussed this matter with Bernadette, Bernadette did not support it. In her view, after becoming an angel, one would need to play the role for at least several years before adjusting to a state where one could continue to advance.

Especially in the struggle for divinity, if the process of advancement is too hasty, one may be at a disadvantage in such a struggle.

Odis couldn't tell Bernadette the truth, so he could only say that the "Lord of Mysteries" would provide help. Bernadette couldn't say anything more, and could only tell him to be careful.

Odis did not intend to let others know about his promotion, so he did not tell anyone else.

However, before his ascension, Odis entered the "Sage Time" space and asked the Celestial Master: "When I was advancing to Sequence 3 and Sequence 2, I was attacked by the 'God of Steam and Machinery' and the 'Hidden Sage' respectively."

"The 'God of Steam' is currently preparing for the divine war and should not have time to deal with me. I wonder if the 'Hidden Sage' will cause trouble?"

The Celestial Master smiled and said, "He won't stop you from advancing."

Odis was taken aback: "He still wants to merge with me? Once I advance, it will be one step closer to merging with Him? So He also hopes that I can advance as soon as possible?"

The Celestial Master shook his head and said, "'The Hidden Sage' knows very well that once you advance to Sequence 1, the final battle between you will be imminent. However, he will not make a move because he knows very well that even if he tries to stop you from advancing, I will stop him."

“But the ‘Fallen Mother Goddess’ did indeed take this opportunity to try to corrupt you.”

Odis was taken aback: "'Fallen Mother Goddess'?"

He paused for a moment before asking, "How does He intend to corrupt me?"

The Celestial Master then asked, "Every time you are promoted, do you hear a voice?"

Odis was taken aback again: "Yes."

Odis always believed that it was the "Hidden Sage" influencing him through the uniqueness of the "Hermit" path.

“That is the voice that ‘Fallen Mother Goddess’ spoke to you through the uniqueness of ‘Hermit’ in ‘Hidden Sage’,” the Celestial Master said unhurriedly. “However, she cannot face you directly, nor does she know your exact location or situation, so you have not been substantially corrupted.”

"That voice is like a seduction. You can hear the whole thing after you advance to Sequence 1. Only then will the previous seduction fully erupt, leading you to places that go against your own beliefs and corrupting you."

Odis was stunned for the third time: "Why the hell didn't you say this after I got promoted?"

The Celestial Master, however, said in his unhurried tone, "There was no need to say it at that time."

Oddess suddenly realized: "You have a solution?"

“The ‘Fallen Mother’s’ plan can only affect you at most,” the Celestial Master said. “She also guessed that the ‘Sage’ had not completely perished, but she certainly did not expect that I would be in such good condition.”

"So when you were promoted to Sequence 2, and we could communicate freely, her plan had already failed."

"After you complete your advancement, I will exert influence on you to prevent your spirit and body from being bewitched. You only need to overcome the bewitching voice in your mind."

Odis pondered for a moment and then asked, "Do you think I can do it?"

The Celestial Master glanced at the fish in the pond and said, "Don't be nervous. You are not directly facing the spirit of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess,' and you have maintained a good condition. There should be no problem."

"Not only that, you'll also gain some benefits."

Odis smiled and asked, "What if there's a problem?"

“If there are any problems, I will intervene forcefully.” The Celestial Master said seriously, “After you become Sequence 1, my foundation in the North and South Continents will become more solid, and I can directly descend upon the power of the ‘Wilderland of Knowledge’ to help you resist the ‘Fallen Mother Goddess’.”

"The barrier is still relatively strong, and the power that the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' can bring down to Earth is very limited."

After sighing, Odis finally said, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"You didn't ask earlier," the Celestial Master said with a smile.

However, Odis understood that the Celestial Master believed he would not be in any danger, so he did not give any prior warning.

Perhaps if I hadn't asked today, He would have reminded me before my promotion.

This incident did not hinder Odis's preparations for promotion; he simply made some mental preparations.

The next day, Odis had adjusted his condition and prepared the potion in advance.

The Sequence 1 potion is easy to concoct, requiring only one main ingredient, or rather, one portion of the extraordinary properties of the "Knowledge Emperor." As for the presentation of the eight mystical symbols used as auxiliary ingredients, Odis had consulted the Celestial Master beforehand and learned that they could be presented in two ways: one is in the form of books placed around the ascendant, and the other is in the form of an information flow intertwined with the properties of the "Knowledge Emperor."

Odis chose the latter, transforming the eight mystical symbols into a flow of information. As this flow approached the characteristics of the "Knowledge Emperor," the two dissolved together, forming a cloud of colorful gas. Within this gas, it seemed as if countless illusory eyes were observing everything around them.

With the potion in hand, Odis arrived at an uninhabited island in the raging sea. He recalled once again the ascension ceremony: making great contributions to the field of mysticism, bringing new mystical knowledge to the world, perfecting the system of mysticism, and being universally respected and admired by mystical researchers.

He had already confirmed in advance that the "Garr runes" were indeed a great achievement in the field of mysticism, and that not only those who studied and understood the "Garr runes" would show him respect and admiration, but also those who used the extraordinary tools that Odis invented based on the "Garr runes" would feel the same way.

Moreover, those who have been hit by Remnantburg's advanced weapons and are thoroughly terrified also count.

These people together constitute a large group, enough to support Odis's ascension ceremony.

Thinking of this, Odis took out the potion, took a deep breath, uncorked the bottle, and put it to her lips.

The colorful mist drifted into Odis's mouth, and he immediately felt a cool sensation in his throat. In that instant, his consciousness soared into the distance, as if detached from his body.

At this moment, Odis seemed to be in a phantom space. He felt weightless, as if he had no leverage no matter what he did.

But Odis was not flustered. He looked around and sure enough, there seemed to be one point of light after another in mid-air in this illusory space.

The points of light seemed to sense Odis's gaze and actually floated over on their own.

Soon, firefly-like points of light surrounded Odis. He reached out and touched one of them, and an image appeared before him: a man dressed in the robes of a bishop of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, diligently studying the "Garr runes," and exclaiming, "This is absolutely a major breakthrough in the history of human mysticism!"

Then another point of light flew onto Odis's body. It was also a scene. The scene showed a Lenburg soldier who had witnessed the explosion of the "Lingbo Cannon". He fled in panic for a distance before looking back at the deep crater created by the "Lingbo Cannon". At this moment, he was filled with awe for the weapon "Lingbo Cannon".

More and more points of light gathered around, some of them representing Feneport's demigods, their helplessness in the face of being unable to stop the missiles, and their lament: "When will Feneport have such a weapon?"

There were also the exclamations of Remburg residents about the "extraordinary stove"...

Each point of light represented awe or admiration related to the "Gar Rune". These points of light surrounded Odis in the center, making Odis, who had been feeling weightless, feel weight again. He quickly sank back into his body and completely regained his consciousness.

Odis took a deep breath and raised his hand to see symbols dancing on his hands and body, a result of the further transformation of his body after his advancement.

He suddenly realized that he could easily enter the "wilderness of knowledge".

This is an excellent ability to save one's life. If one cannot win a fight, one can hide in the "wilderness of knowledge." Even the gods cannot do anything about this move.

Soon, the symbols were completely hidden inside his body, which meant that Odis had successfully advanced.

When Odis was below the level of a demigod, every promotion was an ordeal, but after becoming a demigod, due to his past connection with the "sage," the promotion was relatively easy.

At that moment, the poem echoed in Odis's ears once more: O boundless universe!
"You are not just a pile of material possessions,"

"It is also a collection of information and knowledge, and a chaotic leap of spirituality."

"The chaotic babbling is the song of the Creator."
"It resounds throughout the universe and never stops."

"Endless knowledge is the knowledge of the Creator."
"It operates the universe, and it never stops."

Come to Kanar!

"I will help you hear the words of the Creator."

"Mastering boundless power."

Odis smiled helplessly and said, "Isn't that a bit too blunt?"

This Kanal doesn't sound very appealing. Who would be so crazy as to listen to some "Word of the Creator"? It sounds dangerous.

Just as he was about to carefully gather his spiritual energy, a voice suddenly arose from the depths of his heart: "Go to Kanar...go to Kanar..."

Odis paused for a moment, then immediately focused his mind.

But the voice grew louder and louder: "Go to Kanar...go to Kanar..."

Odis swallowed hard and said coldly, "Do you know where Canal is? Then go there."

"Isn't it right up ahead?"

Odis paused for a moment, then saw a majestic and sacred building appear in the distance. The building had a high roof, golden tiles, and wide eaves, and looked magnificent, giving the impression of a "celestial palace".

A series of steps leads to the palace entrance, making the building appear very tall.

The exquisitely carved wooden door opened, revealing a room full of books. Some were modern hardcover books, others had covers made of animal hide, and there were also ancient books in thread, as well as several piles of bamboo slips.

The voice in Odis’s mind said again: “Let’s go and see, it contains all the secrets from ancient times to the present.”

"Look, Chang'e was originally an extraordinary human being. She went to the moon to try to merge with the 'fallen mother goddess.' Although she failed, she made a mystical connection between the moon in the sky and the uniqueness of the 'moon' pathway."

"Look, Xing Tian, ​​who has no head, actually fought against an outer god..."

"The thoughtful Fuxi was likely corrupted by something from the past, which is why he became a human-headed snake. However, he still persisted in imparting his knowledge to more people, and this corruption also granted him a wealth of occult knowledge..."

Odis found it more and more interesting as he listened, and after a moment of confusion, he said, "Alright, let's go take a look."

The next instant, Odis appeared in front of the building, on the high steps.

Just as Odis was about to take a step, his legs seemed to grow onto the steps, and he could not continue.

At that moment, a solemn voice suddenly appeared in Odis's ear: "Gain and loss are impermanent; the way of nature is to be followed!"

In that instant, his mind became much clearer, and he realized that it was the Celestial Master who had intervened, ensuring that his physical and spiritual bodies would not be affected.

The next second, Odis realized that she was back on the stairs.

Just as I was about to turn and leave, a gentle voice suddenly said, "You must be very, very tired."

Odis was startled when she saw a mature woman with an ethereal air, dressed in long-sleeved ancient clothing, appear at the top of the stairs. Her kind smile immediately reminded Odis of her mother and the few warm moments she shared with her.

At that moment, he felt a sudden calm in his heart and an unprecedented sense of security.

Odis had a pretty good idea of ​​who the other person was, but he still asked, "Who are you?"

“I am the ‘Fallen Mother Goddess’ you speak of,” said the woman with maternal radiance. “People have a great prejudice against me. I am not as evil as you imagine, and I have never thought of harming you.”

"After all, who would hurt their own child?"

Odis felt that these words seemed credible, but he also felt that something was not right.

The seductive voice continued, “You must beware of the ‘Primordial Ones,’ the ‘Celestial Ones,’ who have ravaged the Earth, yet they have never realized their mistakes, nor have they been punished.”

"They have been tormenting humanity all along, and if you're not careful, they could awaken inside you."

Odis nodded, "That's true."

Seeing that Odis agreed with her, she continued, "However, things changed after the appearance of the 'Sage'... that is, the Celestial Master. It seems that he has found a way to deal with the 'Primordial' and the 'Celestial Venerable'."

Then she asked with a smile, "Do you know that method?"

"I don't know." Odis still felt somewhat dazed and said frankly, "The Celestial Master didn't tell me."

She exclaimed, "The Taoist priest is so careful!"

Odis nodded: "Yes, he is very careful."

At this point, Odis felt that this matter really needed to be kept strictly confidential.

Thinking about this, he felt his mind clear up a bit.

At this moment, the woman's voice spoke again: "What I didn't expect was that the Celestial Master would keep such an important plan from you as well."

“That’s quite normal,” Odis smiled. “After all, I don’t yet have the ability to keep secrets.”

He felt his mind becoming increasingly agile, and at the same time, he sensed a spiritual warning, as if there was some danger around him.

The compassionate woman paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, I know what the Celestial Master plans to do, because it's recorded in the Canal. Would you like to go and see it?"

Upon hearing this, Odis's sense of clarity began to fade: "Alright, I..."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Odis's mind: Canal is dangerous, do not go there, and do not inquire about it!

He immediately recalled that the sentence came from the "sage's" alter ego, the "sage" alter ego who had been hiding in Grosser's Travels for over a thousand years!
In that instant, Odis felt himself fully awake. Then he thought: The trait I used for my advancement was the same one from Grosser's Travels. The previous "Sage" clone appeared in that trait, so I have a very deep "impression" of that sentence. Is this a coincidence?
The compassionate woman above smiled slightly as she saw Odis's eyes clear up and said, "You've actually woken up."

Odis looked at the "Fallen Mother Goddess": "What exactly is Canal? Why does it hold such a strong attraction for me?"

Odis, already the "Emperor of Knowledge," immediately made a certain analysis using his spiritual intuition and the clues he had previously obtained.

He discovered that the "Fallen Mother Goddess" could only have a sliver of consciousness in the real world, but the reason her seduction could attract a Sequence 1 was by using a place called "Kanal".

It seemed to hold a mystical attraction for every extraordinary person associated with "knowledge".

The Fallen Mother Goddess did not leave immediately, but patiently replied: "The first syllable uttered by the 'First Creator' when His consciousness had just awakened before He created this universe is said to be 'Zha' by some and 'Kanar' by others."

"'Zha' is the syllable that is most likely to awaken people, and sometimes it can instantly boost the morale of one's own side. 'Kanal', under certain circumstances, represents the sum of knowledge in this universe."

"Humans on Earth are most affected by the 'original', so every human's genes... well, that word might not be quite accurate. It could be expressed as the deepest part of their mind, or the deepest part of their subconscious, contain corresponding memories."

"As long as you use the right method to keep waking up those memories, your subconscious will be able to recall your yearning for the 'sum of knowledge of the universe'."

Odis nodded: "I see."

He then asked, "If you take away the portion of the 'Mother Nest' on Earth, as well as the uniqueness and extraordinary characteristics that 'The Original' tore off from you, will 'The Original' stop you?"
"If 'The Beginning' awakens again, won't it still try to seize these attributes and essence? Will your efforts still be worthwhile?"

After all, this was already the "original" "property".

“It won’t stop it,” the Fallen Mother Goddess replied. “Because the ‘Primordial’ and the ‘Celestial Being’ have always been in a relatively active state, while the ‘First’ is in a state of ‘deep sleep’.”

"You can understand it as 'the Primordial One' and 'the Celestial Venerable One' awakening in place of 'the Beginning One'."

He paused for a moment and then said, “Don’t underestimate the ‘pillar’. I’m almost there. I can hold back the convergence of the ‘original’ extraordinary aspects for a short time.”

"And no matter how He gathers together, my consciousness remains independent."

"Even if He gathers all my essence and characteristics into Him, I will still be an independent individual when He falls into slumber."

However, like the "Primordial" and the "Celestial Venerable," they will become part of the "original" consciousness.

Odis smiled and said, "I didn't expect we could have such a calm and peaceful conversation."

“I only intend to take back what is rightfully mine; there is no deep hatred between us,” said the Fallen Mother. “Yet you describe me as terrifying and ugly, and have been preventing me from taking back what is mine.”

"According to your Earthlings' moral standards, aren't you the evil ones?"

Odis laughed and said, "Please don't confuse the concepts. No one objects to you taking back what belongs to you, but if you intend to pollute the entire earth at will, that is the behavior of an aggressor."

"Moreover, it was 'originally' that we stole your characteristics and essence, yet you want to pollute us ordinary people. Putting aside whether you are evil or not, according to our Earthlings' moral values, you either cannot distinguish right from wrong or you are just making excuses."

The "Fallen Mother Goddess" shook her head and said, "That is not pollution, but a blessing."

"In that state, you will be closer to the origin of this universe. If you rely on your own evolution, we don't know how long it will take to reach that state."

"Moreover, every Outer God will try to corrupt Earthlings, because you have been deeply influenced by the 'Original,' and each of you has the potential to become a medium for the 'Original' to awaken."

Odis chuckled and said, "See? You've revealed your true thoughts, haven't you?"
"The 'original' has a profound impact on us, so why are you polluting us?"

"Besides, you think it's a gift, but have you ever asked what we think? We never even considered getting close to the 'origin of the universe,' so who would want your gift?"

Before the other party could say anything, Odis shrugged and said, "Ordinary people think differently from gods."

The Fallen Mother Goddess wasn't angry; instead, she said, "Indeed, it's different."

Then He said, “I’d really like to see how the Celestial Master will confront the ‘Origin’ and the ‘Celestial Venerable’.”

"I also look forward to your battle with him after you reach the same level."

The Fallen Mother Goddess laughed and said, "The Celestial Master has given me far too many surprises. I both hope that he will win the battle against the 'Primordial One' and I do not wish for him to win."

Odis said, "It seems the long years have been quite boring for you?"

"No, it will be a long time for you, but it doesn't matter to me." The other person's voice began to fade: "Prepare yourself, when we meet again, we will be enemies."

After saying this, the figure of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" completely disappeared.

Odis was momentarily disoriented and found herself standing in mid-air with nothing around her.

He took a deep breath, checked his condition, and only after confirming that there were no major problems did he "reappear" as Suzaku and return to the cabin on the top of Cruz Island.

After first restraining his spirituality, Odis examined the new abilities he had gained after his advancement.

First, Odis understood what it meant to be the "Emperor of Knowledge": all knowledge would submit to Odis.

For example, Odis can temporarily or permanently deprive an enemy of much knowledge, causing them to lose control during battle due to a lack of relevant knowledge.

Moreover, this also means that Odis can arbitrarily modify the underlying knowledge of this world, and that he can represent anything as a data stream except for "source matter" and extraordinary characteristics.

For example, Odis could turn a mouse into a stream of information, and by modifying the parameters of this stream, he could turn the mouse into an elephant, or even a tree or a stone.

The greatest ability gained after promotion is the ability to "modify" knowledge. Before this, Odis could only "delete" or "add" information, but now he can change some important parameters.

This ability has a wide range of applications. For example, it can change the lifespan limit of an ordinary person to 300 years, and if a series of parameters are carefully "modified", that ordinary person will not turn into a monster.

If you deliberately "modify" only one parameter, who knows what kind of monster that ordinary person will eventually turn into?

In battle, this ability may not be the strongest in terms of attack power, but it is definitely the most troublesome.

In addition, Odis can "bestow" a target with a large amount of knowledge, which means stuffing a large amount of knowledge into the target's brain and bursting it.

It had similar abilities in Sequence 2, but it was nowhere near as powerful as it is now.
