Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 30 Cause and Effect

"The most prominent feature of this ability is that it has a touch of dream come true, of wishes being fulfilled..."

"But this also means that I must have a truly deep understanding of something."

What you think is the foundation; what you achieve is the result of your choices.

Truman turned his gaze to the forest outside the city-state; at this moment, he could already see the mercury serpent.

"Let's call it 'Cause and Effect,' with me as the cause and him as the effect, and perhaps it also needs to be connected to the spirit world." The spirit world is said to contain all possibilities of the past, future, and present, and has enough "cause" for Truman to need.

Truman further elaborates on the second branch of authority in the Book of Dreams.

As this ability improved, much of the fog surrounding Truman seemed to dissipate.

"I see you." This is because Truman learned of the existence of the Mercury Serpent and its abilities, which linked the two of them together in terms of fate.

"A visitor from the distant spirit world happened to appear at the location of the Mercury Serpent, disrupting its state."

This is the consequence Truman chose.

Click!

The god of fortune suddenly opened his eyes, and his luck plummeted dramatically; his spirit issued a warning.

The next instant, a spirit creature opened the gate to the spirit world and came to the real world, but under the watchful eye of the Mercury Serpent, its luck vanished, and it became unlucky, being swallowed by a passing spirit demigod.

He used his power to influence the world, and ripples of destiny spread outwards.

At this moment, the unique destiny of Lady Luck could no longer be concealed and was revealed to the world.

"Oh no!" The god of fortune even sensed that the luck he had accumulated over hundreds of years was declining at an alarming rate.

Someone is trying to influence His destiny!

"Why does this goddess of fortune have to stay so far away? I feel we can be friends," Truman said softly, with a friendly tone.

However, the symbols all over this mercury serpent were about to explode, flickering and uncertain, and it just wanted to get away from this place.

"Spatial barrier!" Truman reached out and grabbed, and the space where the Mercury Serpent was located became a cage, trapping it inside.

The "Planetary Planeswalker" has reached a very high level of control over space.

"Hiss!" A red light flashed in the mercury snake's eyes. Its fate had changed, and it had already swum out before the cage was even completed.

He glanced at Truman, who felt a jolt and a strange premonition.

If it weren't for the Book of Dreams, that one glance might have wiped out all his luck and turned him into a nightmare, to the point where he would choke on his water.

Truman instinctively grabbed, and the thief activated the "Trojan Horse of Fate" ability related to the pathway several times, stealing the Mercury Serpent's luck.

Wow! Is this the illusion of good fortune?

Truman even had the illusion that the world revolved around him.

That's the terrifying luck of stepping out the door and encountering demigod-like characteristics, or bending down and picking up angel materials.

That was so... awesome!

But at this moment, a rhythmic movement of light and shadow appeared on the mercury serpent.

"The cycle of fate!"

The Mercury Serpent fixes its luck in a cycle, and Truman's act of stealing luck triggers this mechanism, causing it to activate.

The light and shadow stopped flickering, and Truman's illusion became unreal, like a bubble bursting.

"What a pity!" Truman said with a hint of regret. Who wouldn't want to be a lucky person?

The mercury serpent in the cycle of fate did not linger in battle, but directly opened the gate to the spirit world.

"What a powerful Serpent of Fate!" Truman exclaimed. "Much more powerful than Ouroboros."

"...Never mind, we probably can't win, and even if we do, we can't kill it." Truman watched the Mercury Serpent leave the spirit world without stopping it.

Now, thanks to the Book of Dreams, he can forcibly upgrade the power of the magical items on his body by one level, bringing his corresponding abilities to the first-order level.

Even the upper limits of the abilities "cause and effect" and "dream" are unpredictable, depending entirely on how much power one can mobilize.

But that's Mercury Serpent, a true lucky player, and his "reboot" is a divine skill.

Most importantly, the Elf King might be watching right now!

Indeed, when fortune smiled upon this city-state, the Elf King's gaze fell upon it.

"Another angel!" The Elf King was also in poor condition, and the lightning around him had dimmed considerably.

"That sun has been plotting for a long time!" The Elf King's voice made the entire Elf Palace tremble.

"I even suspect that his birth wasn't much later than ours, but he only appeared because we suffered too much damage this time!"

"Foolish Olmir! He betrayed Lilith! He let the sun seize the opportunity!" The tyrannical Elf King even had the idea of ​​attacking the Giants' Court.

"The Sun God is truly a formidable opponent!" Queen Goshinam of Calamity said solemnly.

She handed the stone tablet presented by the elven guards to the Elf King.

"This is a sequence potion." The stone tablet clearly displayed a potion recipe.

Missionaries have already spread the recipes for low-level potions, and they have now reached the Elf King.

"This is blasphemy!" Thunder roared, flashing with destructive light. "A blasphemous potion!"

"But we can no longer destroy it!" the Queen of Calamities said calmly. "We must take control of the potion's legacy!"

"I am preparing to send an envoy to the Kingdom of the Sun God!"

The Elf King's gaze fell on the Queen of Calamity, forcing himself to calm down and await an explanation.

"If you don't go, the other ancient gods will scramble to go!" The Queen of Calamity said coldly, "Potions are the future! Use the magical items in the elven treasury to exchange for the relevant potion recipes."

"A hundred years from now, all elves will need to use this as a means of advancement and to stabilize their mental state!"

"Hundreds of years from now, our elven race will not lag behind other extraordinary races!"

The Elf King, unusually suppressing his tyranny, pondered the matter and finally nodded.

He probably had his own worries too.

So-called blasphemy is directed at gods. Could it be that the sun was created by this magic potion sequence that made the ancient gods?

Wouldn't the sun be much more stable than the dragon?

"Send the newcomer, Olnia, to her!" the Elf King commanded.

The goddess of beauty, Olnia, was originally a follower of the vampire Lilith. Now that Lilith is "dead," she has sought refuge with the Elf King and gained his protection.

"Alright!" The entire elven race sprang into action, and a group of elves, equivalent to Sequence Five, headed towards the Sun God's Kingdom under the guidance of the goddess Olnia.

The same was true in most other places, and the ancient gods quickly obtained the potion recipes that the missionaries had spread and made the same decision.

Potions are the future of our race.

All the ancient gods were aware of this, and then, for the sake of exploring its mysteries or strengthening their race, they sought to do so.

Each race sent delegations carrying a vast number of magical items or extraordinary properties to the Sun God's Kingdom.

The impact of the potion system on the modern era has only just begun.
