Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars

Julian had thought this through very clearly. One of the two extraordinary items corresponded to the "Sun Priest" of the "Singer" pathway, while the other corresponded to the "Wizard" of Sequence 7 of the "Secret Seeker" pathway.

The "Sun Priest" has its advantages, especially when facing Beyonders of the "Corpse Collector" and "Prisoner" pathways.

In contrast, the extraordinary abilities of the "Mystic" path are also limited by the "Sun Priest," but overall the impact is not as significant as the other two paths.

Not to mention that Julian's purchase of this extraordinary item was not solely for the purpose of targeting the "Aurora Society." He also needed to consider other battle scenarios, such as the "Secret Society," which had disappeared since the Antigonus Family Notes incident.

Besides, Julian currently doesn't have a good way to deal with high-frequency burns, so the side effects of this extraordinary item will have a greater impact on him than imagined.

In contrast, the "wizard's" abilities are more suitable for Julian, not only because they are more versatile, but also because Julian's existing knowledge can amplify the effects of this extraordinary item.

As for the so-called side effects of the supposed "hidden sage" knowledge indoctrination, Julian was not afraid—he already had a guy in his ear who was constantly buzzing, which could reduce the impact of the knowledge indoctrination to some extent.

Previously, when they encountered Old Neil, "Starry Night" seemed to have taken action against "Hidden Sage". Now that the two forces have clashed again, there is undoubtedly some personal grudge involved. Therefore, it is not Julian himself who should be worried.

"Can."

Mr. Hanged Man nodded, then looked at Ms. Justice:

"Then, Miss Justice, we'll discuss the fees later."

"Sure...but how do you plan to contact me? By letter?"

Miss Justice paused for a moment before speaking.

"hehe……"

Mr. Fool's soft laughter rang out, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

"You don't need to worry about that."

This mysterious being crossed his arms:

"We'll talk again after this deal is completed."

"OK."

Upon hearing Mr. Fool say this, Mr. Hanged Man knew that this great being must have a way for the members of the Tarot Club to communicate with each other.

After all, Mr. Fool had already demonstrated all sorts of incredible things, so this little thing should be no problem at all.

"Thank you both, and thank you Mr. 'Fool'."

Seeing that the deal was done, Julian, the "Tower," spoke up:

"Then, as agreed, I will tell you why the Church of Orthodox God restricts the spread of 'role modeling'."

Mr. Hanged Man and Ms. Justice immediately perked up their ears and listened intently to Julian's next words.

There are three main reasons for this.

Julian chuckled softly.

"The first reason stems from a fundamental rule, which we usually call the 'law of conservation of extraordinary properties'."

"I imagine you don't know what extraordinary characteristics are, do you?"

"I really don't know."

Miss Justice acknowledged Julian's assumption.

"Extraordinary traits are the source of extraordinary power. They are incorporated into potions through genetics or specific combinations of potion ingredients, and thus enter the inner world of humans and non-extraordinary beings, endowing them with extraordinary abilities."

"Even when these extraordinary individuals and superhuman beings die, these characteristics are preserved and released for a period of time after the corpse has completely lost its vitality."

"The extracted extraordinary properties can be used directly as the main ingredients for potions. The heart-like thing I gave you earlier was an extraordinary property extracted by a 'psychiatrist'."

Upon hearing Julian's words, Miss Justice suddenly realized:

"I see... So the precipitation you mentioned earlier is definitely going to happen?"

"Unless there are special circumstances, it will definitely happen."

Julian nodded slightly:

"This is also one of the reasons why the world of extraordinary beings is so cruel. As we advance, the extraordinary beings on the same path naturally become our enemies. While we are hunting, we also become the prey of others. If we are not careful, we may become the main ingredient of someone else's potion."

After making sure Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man fully understood, he continued to explain:

"The Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics states that the total amount of extraordinary characteristics is constant within the same pathway."

In other words, when high sequence characteristics increase, low sequence characteristics must decrease, and vice versa.

"Therefore, if the 'role model' is widely disseminated, the number of extraordinary individuals in low-sequence and even mid-sequence classes will increase dramatically."

"This will directly affect the number of high-sequence extraordinary individuals, and even the Church's high-level combat power and its dominance over low- and mid-sequence extraordinary individuals, which is undoubtedly very dangerous."

"Do you understand?"

"Mr. Tower, there's something I don't understand."

At this moment, Miss "Justice" asked again:

"Can't the Church control the number of Sequence 9 Beyonders? If there aren't so many Sequence 9 Beyonders, there shouldn't be so many Mid-Sequence Beyonders, right?"

"No."

At this moment, Mr. Hanged Man suppressed his sudden realization and explained to Ms. Justice:

"You're oversimplifying this... Miss Justice."

"I think I understand what Mr. Tower means. This kind of thing can't be solved by control alone."

"Because the Church of the True God faces not only internal threats, but also the problem of wild extraordinary beings."

"A wild extraordinary being?"

"Yes, wild extraordinary beings."

Mr. Hanged Man nodded:

"Take the 'Sailor' path that I belong to, for example. In theory, this path is completely controlled by the Church of Storms, but in reality, there are a large number of unofficial low- to mid-sequence 'Sailors' at sea."

"In other words, the corresponding potion recipes and potion ingredients have been circulating through unofficial channels, and according to Mr. Tower, the corresponding extraordinary characteristics have been supplemented due to the battles and deaths of extraordinary individuals."

"Therefore, if the church does not restrict the 'playing method,' then there may be a large number of official extraordinary individuals who have digested low-sequence potions and can buy potion recipes from outside without any pressure, and then secretly upgrade themselves without the church's knowledge."

"The 'role-playing method' will also spread outside the church, thereby giving rise to a large number of unofficial non-sequence extraordinary individuals."

"According to the 'Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics,' this will directly affect the number of official Extraordinary users and even threaten their lives."

At this point, Mr. Hanged Man glanced cautiously at Mr. Fool and bowed slightly to this great being.

After making this respectful gesture, he continued:

"Because by then, even the saints of the church... even the angels that may exist in mythology, could become targets hunted by wild extraordinary beings, or even by their own people!"
