Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Above the gray fog, at the head of the long bronze table.

Klein leaned back in the bronze chair, and after memorizing the information, he began to savor the feeling he had just experienced.

At first, I felt a tremendous suction force, and then I felt a fall and spinning at the level of my soul.

I also saw many "different versions of myself," each starting now and branching out into the past and future, extending like a net into endless possibilities, before finally converging back together...

After receiving this information, my body began to evaporate into symbols, but without any pain. Instead, it made me unafraid of death, maintained absolute rationality, and became indifferent to my surroundings, as if nothing else mattered...

Klein, who was a keyboard warrior in his previous life, guessed that those scenes were different "world lines" created by his different choices, and that they were ultimately brought together by the influence of the gray fog.

The talismanic abilities gained from the subsequent evaporation and combination are likely manifestations of these two pathways of power, or perhaps the power of that being...

According to the "Cult of Nothingness," these world lines have already occurred; it's just a matter of which line "I" will take now. Perhaps the gray fog was protecting me, as not all of those world lines entered my mind; I can only remember a small portion of what I saw.

Klein frowned. He saw the end of Old Neil's loss of control, the moment he felt immense grief. He also saw the image of the captain, his hairline receding, dissecting his own heart...

He also discovered some anomalies: some parts of the internet were "blocked," and he saw strange feathers fluttering in some images. Based on the many novels he had read in his previous life, Klein tried to deduce that some "fates" were changed or determined by unknowable forces.

Unfortunately, my brain capacity is not enough to hold that much information, but based on the information I have, it is worth being cautious and paying attention to the condition of Old Neil and Dunn.

However, it seems there's a "side storyline" where the captain and "psychic" Daly get married? That's a big surprise... Klein silently hoped this storyline would come true.

He also obtained the methods for making three talismans, which required praying to that revered name. Klein planned to try it only after thoroughly verifying the divination effects of the gray mist.

And that being actually liked gold... Although Klein felt a little sorry for him, he felt better when he thought about the powerful functions of the talisman.

"Entropy cessation": to completely stop the entropy of all objects in a region.

"Deconstruction": Randomly deconstructs one of the target's attributes into mathematical symbols, and the target loses this attribute within 2 hours.

"Logic Storm": Disrupts the operating logic of organisms in a certain area.

These abilities are probably the power of either the "Lover" pathway or the "Storyteller" pathway. Klein leans towards the former because these abilities are more consistent with Sequence Five, "Scientist," of the "Lover" pathway.

This seems way cooler than divination… Klein felt a moment of regret; the formulas he now possessed could lead all the way to Sequence Seven "Painter" or Sequence Six "Paranoiac." But then he realized that becoming a "Diviner" was the best choice at the time, and he quickly felt relieved.

Maybe my skills will be just as powerful and bizarre in the future... Klein comforted himself with this thought.

After calming down, he suddenly realized that today's events were somewhat coincidental. His "lover" was now probably Sequence 8 "Teacher," which was related to this path.

Later, in his diary, he revealed that Emperor Roselle had also come into contact with this being, and he even recorded it, which I happened to see. Mr. "Lover" also happened to be collecting information about the "Storyteller"...

He knew there was something wrong with this page of the diary and that it was related to his methods, but he couldn't figure it out himself, so he showed it to me so I could discover the problem? How could he be sure I would find the problem? In his eyes, I should be a hidden and powerful figure, but even if I discovered the problem, I probably wouldn't tell him...

However, he'll probably try to buy the formula later, then I can show off a bit...

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but in any case, he showed no malice, was very cooperative, and was actively communicating... Klein shook his head, felt a stinging pain in his temples, and then simulated the feeling of falling back to the real world.

……

At this moment, Kut prayed to "infinite collapse" through a ritual set up in a closed spiritual environment, requesting to obtain the "painter's" main material.

He was unaware that Klein had recklessly divined the source of "Infinite Collapse," and that Klein now knew about his pathways and adjacent pathways, even suspecting him. Of course, Kurt didn't really care; it was Klein. Later, when his mental fortitude strengthened and his true identity was revealed, it wouldn't matter; they could still keep each other company.

He had originally planned to inform Klein of the methods for making some talismans through the diary of Emperor Roselle two weeks later...

"Main material for 'The Painter': A pair of wings of the Rainbow Illusion Cicada."

After obtaining the name of the main material, Kurt then performed the ritual taught by the Fool, tidied up the scene, and went out to buy experimental equipment such as microscopes.

He felt he could combine some experimental methods from his previous life to aid in the creation of species. Because of Frank Lee's "demonstration" in the original work, Kurt dared not experiment with his bold ideas in Backlund...

After dinner, Bill arrived at Kurt's house as usual, carrying Lori's reply.

Kurt made Bill a cup of coffee before opening Lori's reply.

"Protect the items inside from under the carpet in front of the room."

Kurt suppressed his urge to explore immediately and chatted with Bill, who had a standard slicked-back hairstyle, for a while. Then he waited for Miss Hugh Deercha, whose hair was still messy, her face was still youthful, and by evening she was probably 149 cm tall. She looked much better.

After seeing Bill off, Kurt told Hugh that the documents from the Church of the Night would be delivered the next day, and that she shouldn't panic.

After that, just like the previous few days, they went to the East District, but Hugh was much more reserved than before.

Hugh finally spoke as the public carriage passed through the Backlund Bridge area.

"Mr. Kurt, do you need any other informants?"

Kurt, who was staring blankly out the window, paused for a moment, sensing that they were getting impatient. After all, he knew the character of the person in front of him, but from Hugh's perspective, they had only known each other for almost a week. Although he had indeed expressed complete trust and friendliness, he was, after all, an official.

Of course, Hugh walked right into this mess, and given my current strength and status, I clearly don't need to resort to such underhanded tactics. Simply capturing him and using spirit communication would solve most things…

After a brief silence, Kurt smiled and spoke:

"That requires my observation, to see if your companion is trustworthy."

Kurt didn't actually intend to recruit Fors as an informant, since she still had that bracelet, which could easily attract the attention of the authorities. Moreover, Fors was a novice follower of the Steam Church, which would connect her to the Heart of Steam. Since Hugh was currently being monitored by him, he could cover for her, and if caught, he could use the excuse that he was still under observation.

The Mother Goddess probably wouldn't concern herself with these matters... Kurt mentally drew a symbol of life.

Xiu said after careful consideration:

"Do you need another bodyguard? She can help you escape if there's danger, and escape very far!"

If you describe a wild extraordinary being in this way to other suspected mid-sequence powerhouses, their first reaction will be, "What are the side effects of your friend becoming an extraordinary item?"

Fors's extraordinary characteristics will probably make users alternate between being diligent and lazy...

Kurt shook off the strange thoughts in his mind, thinking that it was no wonder; they didn't know about conservation and the law of immortality, and they didn't even understand the method of acting...

"Fortunately, I am indeed a good person," Kurt asked with great interest.

"Apprentice? What sequence?"

Hugh, who was thinking about how he could help Fors right away, froze for a moment, his dangling foot slightly touching the ground, and asked in surprise:

How did you know?
