Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 202 201 Out of control?

With the last Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 1 of the Thief's Pathway taken away, the purpose of attacking Amon this time was also achieved.

But in order to obtain this last extraordinary characteristic of the Time Worm, Tang paid a heavy price.

"You've underestimated Amon, the God of Deception. He's already thought about what he'll do if I catch him. Even if it means self-destruction, he'll drag me down with him."

The Star Ocean was being eroded by a sea of ​​chaos. The Dark Angel Sasriel, the evil spirit, gradually emerged from behind the veil of shadows. Through this gradually eroding barrier, he looked in Tang's direction. His eyes were indifferent and emotionless, as if he was looking at an ant that was not to be feared. A calm voice gradually sounded:

"First, awakening within you."

Tang's eyes became even darker and deeper, as if hiding a bottomless ocean.

He looked at the evil spirit that was a mixture of the malice of the ancient sun god and the pollution of the Chaos Sea, and stretched out his hand.

Tang had no intention of attacking the evil spirit of the dark angel. His condition was constantly declining, and the consciousness of God in the evil spirit of the dark angel Sasriel was obviously much more active than a thousand years later, and it could not be solved with just one or two moves.

"The first blasphemous slate isn't something I need right now. I'll find another opportunity later."

As Tang took action, the next moment, irregular marks appeared between the Dark Angel and Tang, like marks left after glass was cut. The two were in different dimensional levels in the next moment and could no longer influence each other through ordinary means.

The Euclidean space enveloped the entire polluted area of ​​the Giant King's Court, blocking it in spatial dimension, so that Sasriel, who might interfere with his departure, was temporarily unable to borrow the power of the Chaos Sea to help him.

This blockade cannot last too long. There is a strong mystical connection between the Chaos Sea and the first blasphemous stone tablet. This connection will not be easily blocked by Euclidean space, just as the Chaos Sea cannot easily block its connection with Euclidean space.

After suffering Amon's dying counterattack, Tang, carrying the trophy of the Time Worm's extraordinary characteristics, gradually faded into the high-dimensional space and left the Giant King's Court.

The gaze in the void left as Tang left and no longer focused on this place.

The Dark Angel Sasriel watched the Beyonder who killed Amon disappear before his eyes, with no intention of stopping him.

The Star Ocean also gradually disintegrated due to Mr. Men's departure with a broken hand.

Then, the gaze of the Left Hand of God, the Deputy Lord of Heaven, fell on the historical pore image that was still in a maintained state.

Beneath the giant feathered serpent, Nicolas Flamel walked out from an illusory river that seemed to contain all the colors in the world. The angel who stole Amon's destiny pinched the monocle in his right eye socket and stared silently at the dark angel evil spirit for a few seconds.

Then, Nikola, the Worm of Time, smiled silently, looked back at the young man who was high up behind him, and his figure gradually disappeared. He followed his Puppet Master and left the Giant King's Court.

At this moment, the place seemed to have fallen into a strange and dead silence again.

Silently, the illusory ocean that seemed to encompass the entire world did not retreat. The dark angel evil spirit seemed to be waiting for something. He waited quietly until the scene that only existed in the gaps in the historical image collapsed. The young man with dark eyes, holding a three-meter-long scepter, walked out of that scene and entered reality.

The dark angel evil spirit, a glimmer seemed to flash in his calm eyes.

-

In the Euclidean space corresponding to the never-ending theater.

One sticky tentacle after another slid out from Tang's body, and an unknown, great consciousness sent an inaudible and incomprehensible voice to his spiritual body.

It was a magnificent, layered, crazy, and irresistible spiritual pollution. The mere suppression made Tang feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

The revival of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun will, under the leadership of Amon, have an irresistible impact on his mental state.

"Do you need help?" Nicolas Flamel asked as he stood beside Tang, whose Tianzun consciousness had begun to awaken and was obviously no longer able to be effectively suppressed. The role played by the anchor point was far less than that of Tianzun's awakening consciousness.

"No need..." Tang's voice began to become sticky, as if the spiritual worm in his mouth had also undergone an uncontrollable mutation, making his voice become extremely strange.

"Where are the other Amons?" he asked vaguely.

"Those Sequence 2 clones are in hiding. It looks like the real Creator and Adam were behind this. You know, you can't look directly at God. Adam's Church of Bones is also a very special thing. I can't see through it."

Nicholas said.

"As for the other clones, they seem to be normal. Amon's original body should have changed as well, but I don't know which Fate Horse it is."

Amon's status fell to Sequence 2. Unless something unexpected happened, it would be extremely difficult for this former Angel King to return to the throne of Sequence 1.

Just as Tang was about to say something, many slippery tentacles appeared on his body.

His thoughts were becoming increasingly confused, and he felt as if he was about to sink into a gray mist, merging with the countless lights in it, stripping away all humanity and awakening some terrible ritual.

He said calmly, but with some difficulty: "Honestly, I was able to kill Amon so smoothly, and in the end, He only gave me a Tianzun awakening gift package. It's already a good deal."

"I thought He would let Adam and the True Creator, ahem, compete with me."

Nicholas dragged his knuckles along the rim of his monocle and offered his guess: "Perhaps it's not that He doesn't want to, but rather that Adam and the true Creator don't want to? As He once said, 'These are necessary sacrifices.'"

Necessary sacrifice...

Sacrifice an Amon to give birth to the Lord of Mysteries.

Tang sighed, and then his expression became distorted again, "I... I think... I should get some sleep... Phew, this feeling is really not good. Tianzun's consciousness is really hard to suppress..."

"I think I should sleep for another three hundred years..."

Nicholas glanced at Tang, then pinched his monocle and said, "Stop it."

The next moment, the countless mutated tentacles that were constantly twisting all over Tang's body were frozen.

His expression was vivid, showcasing pain, struggle, and madness. No one could doubt that this was Don Eggers Ramd himself. Yet, this very being was now subjected to the powerful suppression of Euclidean space. Countless brilliant lights gathered around him, enveloping him and sealing him from within.

This was not Tang's original intention to seal himself off and use Euclidean space to suppress the awakening of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's will.

A young man walked out from the side of the completely mutated 'Tang', as if he had suddenly entered an observable state from an unobservable state, and appeared out of nowhere and walked to Nikola's side.

He looked exactly like the mutated, painfully-looking 'Tang'.

And this young man smiled like Amon who had just watched a good show.

"I don't know if Adam noticed it, but Amon was obviously deceived too. Isn't this a bit too coincidental?"

Tang looked carefully at 'Tang', whose body was covered with slippery tentacles and whose will had been broken by Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, and could not help but marvel at it.

"Well, I cheated the God of Fraud. If I were an angel of the Thief's Path, I should have digested the potion by now."

Amon cheated me and I cheated Amon too. That's fair, isn't it?

Nicholas looked at the newly promoted miracle worker and asked, "When did you start using the Secret Marionette?"

"Guess?" Tang glanced at Nicolas Flamel, who had stolen Amon's out-of-control fate and now behaved like a normal puppet. He then looked at the puppet that had slippery tentacles, was gradually going crazy, and was transforming into Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

He said with a smile on his face, "One of the rules of the Puppet Master's role is that I stay behind the scenes. How can the Puppet Master perform in person?"

In the previous performances, if he had not had an insufficient number and level of secret dolls, he would not have had to perform himself.

If something bad happens to you, won’t you become a clown?
Just like this time...

'Tang's' face began to move, revealing a slightly pale and thin face.

This is Sequence 6 of the Diviner's Path, the extraordinary ability possessed by the Faceless Man.

Look, at this time, isn't this extraordinary power at the middle sequence level quite suitable?

The one on the verge of losing control and suffering from the awakening of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's will, and the unstoppable transformation towards a terrible direction, was not Tang, but Zaratul, the recipient of the "Supreme One" who stayed quietly in the Euclid space when he was promoted to a miracle worker and did not participate in the battle afterwards.

"Without extraordinary characteristics, we will not be able to withstand the changes brought about by the awakening of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun." Tang snapped his fingers, and the Euclidean space began to vibrate.

A brilliant light emanated from Zaratul's body.

That is the extraordinary power that the 'Observer' constantly possesses, allowing the recipient to always be at the peak of their ability.

Tang possessed Zaratul's Sequence 2 Beyonder Characteristics, but he was currently only a Sequence 3 Ancient Scholar. How could he possibly possess the Beyonder Characteristics that revived Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun?
You know, at the Sequence 3 level, you don't really need to rely on anchor points to fight against the tendency of madness and loss of control.

Even at this point in time, the initial resurgence would never be able to reach such a powerful level in a Sequence 3.

This is an intentionally created bug.

The slippery and sticky tentacles seemed to have suffered an incomprehensible collapse caused by the loss of their foundation, which caused them to gradually shrink and turn into insects. The terrible and terrifying aura was rapidly weakening.

Nicholas thought for a moment and said to Tang, "I think from the very beginning, you used the 'Bionic Marionette' module to create a personality that perfectly matched Zaratul's destiny, thoughts, consciousness, abilities, knowledge, and memories. You then replaced Zaratul's own 'Bionic Marionette' module."

As a Sequence 2 Miracle Artist, he also has a system and control over Euclidean space. Everything he has is roughly equivalent to his true self, so this secret doll is his true self.

They are timid when they are unprepared, but rush forward directly when they are prepared. They are reckless but timid, and timid but reckless, so as to avoid the corresponding risks to the greatest extent. This is indeed like Tang's style.

The extraordinary people of the Gou San family are truly more sinister than the other...

As a Sequence 1 Time Worm, Nicolas Flamel couldn't help but pinch his forehead, feeling deeply saddened by Tang Lian's deception.

Apart from anything else, only people like this can live longer, right?

"Host, host, this is dirty, ahhh, there's more dirt—"

Amidst the system's cyber-screaming, Tang smiled sincerely. "Correct... I was just testing Amon and Adam. Killing Amon would be best, but if I can't, weakening him and allowing him to remain in Sequence 1 for a while longer wouldn't be a big deal."

"And apparently, fate is on our side."

If it fails, the worst consequence is that the secret puppet Zaratul will be broken. As long as the extraordinary characteristics can be recovered, a new Zaratul will appear soon.

The Bionic Marionette module is a renewable resource, like a gift. Once harvested, there will be another harvest. As long as there are Beyonder characteristics, the Bionic Marionette module, Euclidean space, and his future self, then for Tang, the death of a Sequence 3 and relying on the power of a gift to become a Sequence 2 Marionette is really not a big deal.

Failure was nothing more than a temporary reduction in his own strength, but for Amon, this was a real and real setback.

After the personality of 'Tang' completely died, the will of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun unwillingly fell into silence again, waiting for a new opportunity.

Zaratul was suppressed by the Euclidean space, and the countless slippery tentacles on his body all disappeared. The spirit insects that had become crazy calmed down in a very short time because their main bodies were secret puppets.

Dead people can't go crazy, can they?
With the re-installation of the 'Bionic Marionette' module 'Zaratul', the other party came back to life.

The spirit insects followed the fate of their original bodies and crawled back into the body of the leader of the secret society, combining with the other's rejuvenated spirit. Although the influence of the initial awakening of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's will was still there, and those whispers still faintly echoed in the ears of this ancient scholar, it was obviously much better than the previous out-of-control state.

"Well, a great harvest."

Tang clapped his hands and said to Nicola, "Then we can prepare as well."

"A weakened version of the godhood ritual, completely replacing Amon's position."
