Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 163 The Genius Hazel

North Backlund, Berklund Street, Macht House.

Aside from normal social and physical activities, Hazel has been holed up in her room these past few days researching the extraordinary power bestowed upon her by the gods within her body.

After several days of research, she gradually sensed a power within her body that was isolated from her spirit, and this power somewhat resisted merging with her spirit.

She could mobilize this power and use the abilities bestowed upon her by the Lord, so Hazel guessed that it was about incorporating this power into her spirit, allowing the spirit to accept it. In this way, the outer space would be freed up to receive new power.

This is what she has been doing these past two days. Based on the initial ideas given by the Lord, Hazel is close to success, and this strange power has been accepted and utilized to some extent.

Just as she was trying to find the pattern, her spirituality was suddenly triggered, and she immediately opened her eyes after receiving a complete "basic education in mysticism" from Taiyi.

Then she saw endless dark clouds and a black peak that could not be looked up at.

Then some things came to mind.

Every Sunday, a certain amount of blood is offered to Taiyi, and a jar of water is prepared on that day to receive the blessing of the fresh blood.

It also provides a preview of several new abilities, requiring that the cultivation methods be researched as soon as possible.

Hazel's eyes lit up as she looked at the many abilities such as "teaching", "divination", "body enhancement", "illusion creation" and "wound sharing".

Hazel immediately reported on the recent success and inquired about how to acquire these abilities.

Kurt actually discovered that part of the corruption he had previously bestowed upon Hazel had already merged with Hazel's spirit, which is why he made the promises he was making, giving her some hope.

Kurt carefully reviewed the report he received later and found that Miss Hazel was indeed very talented and had figured out that some special parts of the spirit might be more conducive to the absorption of power.

They even developed an "internal and external theory hypothesis"—which summarizes that a person's capacity to contain pollution is limited. Before this pollution is completely refined, the "external" space will decrease, while after complete refinement, the external space is likely to expand, thus allowing the absorption of more and stronger abilities.

That makes a lot of sense. Because Kurt possesses the source essence, the pollution almost merged with Kurt's spirit as soon as it entered his body. Only a small part was left outside, so it was perfectly integrated in no time.

Is she really a genius?

It seems that having his followers test things on his behalf is the right approach. Kut, satisfied, casually tossed some occult knowledge to Hazel—some fun stuff, like how to make amulets that can improve one's luck, or some very basic spells.

To satisfy Hazel's curiosity and her yearning for the occult.

Consider it a reward for Hazel. After taking one last look at Hazel's obviously excited but still forcibly controlling piety, Kurt smiled and cut off the connection.

He now wonders what it means for Hazel to grow up and remember this night—at that time, she didn't yet know what it meant to be "cared for" like this by a god-like being.

This is why Tarot groups are generally very loyal; in a pre-deity meeting, no one would be foolish enough to betray or sell out.

Then Kurt bestowed upon himself all the abilities of the Storyteller pathway, Sequence Eight "The Mental Patient" —

They gained the ability to create wounds on themselves out of thin air and then share those wounds with people within a 50-meter radius.

Furthermore, they gained the ability to construct their own illusions in places such as dreams or hallucinations, and their storytelling abilities were further enhanced, allowing them to induce hallucinations in enemies more quickly.

Back in the real world, Kurt felt the extra abilities in his body, as well as his increased spirituality and mental resistance.

"I can support another id now," he murmured to himself.

Since no one had tested it, he didn't know the extent of this illusion's power. However, it suddenly occurred to him that the Nihilistic Cult might use this ability to make people see their deceased lovers or the altered forms of things they wanted to change.

Such abilities would be incredibly easy for ordinary people who have no knowledge of the extraordinary world to fall for. Because he had to attend Phinks and his mother's funeral the next day, Kurt didn't use the All-Night Bracelet and enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep without nightmares.

On Friday, Kurt put the sleeping Vivi into his pocket and took her to the Harvest Church.

He first asked Mrs. Saliz, who had arrived on time to wait for little Carter to finish his morning prayers, whether she was still being harassed by the missionaries.

Mrs. Saliz replied that although she hadn't encountered her again, several elderly people in the community were still being harassed, and one old man had even been proselytized, saying that he had seen his deceased wife.

After politely thanking the bishop, Kurt nodded to him and entered the church.

Upon seeing Ms. Melanie reading a novel, Kurt glanced at the book, which looked brand new.

"Stormy Mountain Villa"! Even Melanie is reading it, Fors is quite talented.

Melanie smiled when she saw Kurt's gaze, "The author of this book has the potential to be a detective, and the psychological descriptions of the characters are also very good."

After all, those reasoning processes seemed to have taken Forls a long time to think before writing them down. However, Forls's thinking was indeed very sharp, although sometimes it was a bit unrealistic, such as the plot of White Ghost falling in love with the daughter of a mob boss.

Although Fors could be considered a semi-official, it was still his privacy, and Melanie wouldn't proactively reveal that she knew the author unless asked.

Melanie simply smiled and nodded, then took Vivian, who was still sleeping, out of her pocket.

When Melanie saw Vivian, her eyebrows immediately rose, and she got up and took the rather thin bat.

"I knew you smelled stronger of vampires than usual today, and I thought it was some kind of strange change caused by the sacred object bestowed upon you by the Mother Goddess. So what's going on with this little guy?"

Kurt shrugged and began to recount the story of the bat that had happened after he returned from the cemetery the day before, with a somewhat troubled expression.

Of course, the story of her having a pleasant card game with Fors, the author of "Stormy Heights," is omitted.

"That's roughly the situation. This involves a demigod who may have lost control, so I chose to report it to the church. Besides, this vampire can't be ignored—"

"So, teacher, what should we do?"

Melanie looked at the bat that had been placed on the table and said with a headache, "This bat can be left to Walker to take care of, but that castle is a bit more difficult. I'll report this to the Holy Temple first. In the end, we'll probably have to join forces with the local vampires. They won't be able to refuse a share of the Witch King's characteristics."
