Mystery: The New Black Emperor Descends

Chapter 760 "The Creator" Contains the Third Path

Hobert returned to the palace in Angelou with his office.

Upon returning, He discovered that not only had His office mysteriously moved from its original location, but the entire palace seemed to have been dismembered by some force and scattered throughout the country.

Hobart retrieved them one by one and "assembled" them together like building blocks.

The palace staff were somewhat frightened. Hobart explained what had just happened to the two queens and asked Audrey to provide some "psychological counseling" to the staff.

About two years ago, after the palace staff signed a confidentiality agreement, they stopped hiding the extraordinary events that occasionally occurred in the palace from them.

Otherwise, if they are constantly hypnotized, their minds and spirits will be under considerable pressure, and they may inexplicably turn into madmen after reaching their limit.

So they decided not to hide it anymore, but this information could not be taken out of the palace.

Hobart left the two queens in charge of the palace before he used his "Twisting" ability to enter the mausoleum.

At this moment, the "Creator" had just returned from the "Forsaken Land." He tossed Hobert a small crystal and said, "I have some ideas and would like to ask for your opinion."

Hobart caught it and saw that what he held in his hand was a polygonal crystal with some starlight, but inside the crystal was an eye with a blue pupil.

He "recalled" for a moment, and realized that this was one of the dozen or so crystals that the "Creator" had sucked up from the "High Dimension Overlooker" using a black hole during the previous battle.

All the other crystals shattered when they entered the black hole, but this one survived, and it looks quite unusual.

After a moment's thought, Hobart said, "I agree with you."

The "Creator" slowly nodded, then brought up another matter: "After the 'Disordered Kingdom' became whole again, I roughly understood the authority of the 'Children of Chaos'."

"The main focus is on 'change,' which means changing things that have already been established. This is changing 'backward.'"

"And the 'chaos' ability that I just acquired is actually a kind of 'change,' only it's a change 'forward.'"

Hobart pondered for a moment and said, "So it seems that the 'genie' wasn't telling the truth before."

"Our next step in seizing power should focus on 'reform,' not so much on 'creation.'"

The "Creator" sat in an exquisite chair: "That's a good idea."

Then He added, "Fortunately, we never completely believed the 'genie's' words in the first place."

This is a "wise time" just for the two of them. Many seemingly amazing plans, but not too difficult to achieve, are discussed and devised in this way.

……

In the northern mountains of Atlantis, a team of extraordinary individuals appeared using their "travel" abilities.

Captain Cohen glanced at the surrounding fields, where a layer of ice covered the ground, creating a silvery, wintery scene.

But it's summer in this area right now!

This is highly unusual.

The surrounding villagers had all been evacuated. Before arriving here, Cohen and the others had already inquired with the village chiefs of the surrounding villages who had been evacuated.

According to them, the "cold wave" appeared suddenly last night.

The villagers were awakened by the cold, and then they were stunned by the sight before them.

As the temperature dropped further, the village chief, realizing that this was very unusual, immediately led the villagers away and reported the incident.

Therefore, the investigation into this extraordinary case began in the early hours of this morning.

It was eventually determined that this was an extraordinary event involving a high sequence, so the demigod Cohen was tasked with leading a team to conduct further investigations. The team members were all elites among the official extraordinary individuals and could request angelic support at any time.

Their main task this time is to find out the source of this "cold wave".

Even by sight alone, it is obvious that the ice in the mountains is much thicker than that in the villages below.

This time, however, they were very cautious and did not continue to use "travel". Instead, they used the method of "twisting" their position to quickly approach each other.

Upon reaching the summit, one is greeted by howling winds and swirling snowflakes, a scene reminiscent of a heavy snowfall imminent in the depths of winter.

On the other side of the mountain lay a vast, sparsely populated mountainous area. They traversed several mountains, seemingly having found the source of all this extraordinary event.

It was a pool at the foot of a mountain, its surface now covered by a thick layer of ice. The ice was as smooth as a mirror, and in its reflection, there seemed to be some black shadows floating about.

The team members sensed the danger early on and quickly looked away from the lake.

After glancing at it, Cohen immediately prayed to the angel Beverly.

He is the chief commander of the official extraordinary beings in several nearby counties.

As Cohen prayed, wisps of illusory silk appeared around them and bound them before they could even react!

Immediately afterwards, several balls of black flame flew towards them. Cohen "distorted" the trajectory of those flames and narrowly avoided them.

Hundreds or even thousands of ice arrows immediately shot at them, and Cohen could only "twist" a portion of them.

Just as the ice arrows were about to hit the members of the Extraordinary Squad, the space in front of them suddenly became "chaotic," and a large number of ice arrows scattered in all directions as if they had "lost their way."

The next second, Beverly, wearing a black jade pendant, stepped forward and, with a wave of her hand, rescued Cohen and the others from the thin threads.

Beverly glanced at the lake below the mountain before saying, "This could be an opportunity."

He smiled slightly: "Queen Audrey's chance!"

Since the incident where the Underworld faction of the Byron Empire brought Calderon, the "City of the Dead," into the world, He and Audrey gradually developed a good friendship.

At this moment, the dark figure in the ice mirror seemed to sense the danger and tried to escape, but Beverly "distorted" its thoughts.

While having Cohen lead the team away, Beverly reported the situation to Hobart through a prayer.

A dozen seconds later, Hobart arrived with Audrey.

He glanced at the ice at the foot of the mountain and smiled, "I didn't expect the Witch Cult could make such a contribution."

Hobert had already recognized the black figure. At the beginning, the "Cult of Witches" had three angels: one normal and two in very poor condition.

The normal angel Sherry was killed by Hobert, who was still the King of Angels, in the "Mirror World," along with two other angels in very poor condition.

One of its characteristics formed the sealed artifact "0-71" during the Battle of South Colson, but its spirit and consciousness used extraordinary abilities to escape, and was later completely killed by Hobart after he became the King of Angels.

There was also an angel in very poor condition who escaped by burning his "essence" during the Battle of South Colson and has been missing ever since.

His condition must have worsened, especially after Hobart reconstructed the "Mirror World," leaving him with nowhere to hide for long.

The person standing before you is the angel whose whereabouts are unknown and who is in very poor condition.

The fact that He reappeared in people's sight at this time can only mean that His condition had deteriorated to the extreme and He was not far from being completely out of control, which is why He had almost no idea of ​​hiding or any rationality to hide.

Audrey's ritual for ascending to angelhood involved observing an angel, finding their weakness, and then using that weakness to weave a dream that would leave that angel with severe psychological trauma.

Hobart had originally planned to find an angel from the North to be Audrey's subject of observation.

Unexpectedly, this angel from the Witch Cult came knocking on their door while the matter was still being planned, which is why Hobert made those sarcastic remarks about the Witch Cult.

Today, a very important extraordinary power witch research society in Atlantis has two demigods. The extraordinary characteristics of these members are all bestowed by the witch cult.

This sect has made significant contributions to the extraordinary development of the Atlantis Empire.

While making a joke, Hobart raised his hand and, with the power of the "Creator," created a small "Shadow Domain" to trap the black figure in the pool.

He then gave Audrey a few more instructions, gave her a pair of glasses made of "Order Crystals," and followed Audrey into the "Shadow Realm," while Beverly guarded the "Shadow Realm" from the outside.

Upon arriving in the "Shadow Realm," Hobart used the exact same terrain as the outside world, including pools and mountains, to make it easier for Audrey to observe. However, this space could trap the "Disaster Witch" who was about to go out of control.

The "Disaster Witch" sensed Hobert's level of spirituality, so she hid at the bottom of the pool, afraid to come out. Hobert raised his hand, the ice broke open, and "squeezed" the "Disaster Witch" out.

The "Shadow Realm" is Hobert's divine kingdom, where he can easily deal with a Sequence 2 angel.

The angel's condition was visibly poor. One moment it would form a beautiful ice sculpture, and the next it would collapse. Then it would form a very beautiful female figure on the mirror-like ice, but this figure was also difficult to maintain, and it would eventually turn into a clump of black hair. But before long, it would turn into an ice sculpture again and start a new cycle.

Hobert used his extraordinary abilities to fix the "Disaster Witch" in front of him, allowing Audrey to observe her carefully, however she wanted.

This "Disaster Witch" sometimes emits a horrible shriek, sometimes tries to escape using her Stand ability, and sometimes teases Audrey with a very beautiful voice.

These extraordinary attacks were all thwarted by Hobart and had no effect on Audrey.

However, even when faced with a "disaster witch" with a constantly changing appearance, Audrey blushed slightly.

She had to put herself into a little "hypnosis" to be able to concentrate on observing the witch:

His clothing in his ice sculpture state clearly has a Quaternary style, indicating that he was at his best during the Quaternary period...

The state of His hair appears to be His most "chaotic" state, but in fact, He maintains the most rationality when maintaining a clump of hair.

She appears to be a fairly normal female, with some facial features characteristic of the central highlands, confirming that her homeland is in the northern continent.

……

As her observations deepened, Audrey gained even more useful information:

He tried to keep himself away from Hobart, clearly afraid of Hobart, or rather, afraid of Hobart's level, which shows that he still had some rationality.

In his struggle, he used many abilities, but not "Mirror Jump" or "Mirror Stand," indicating that he was well aware that the "Mirror World" had undergone a drastic change. Moreover, knowing that the "Creator" had reconstructed the "Mirror World," he knew that if he used any abilities related to the "Mirror World," he would likely be discovered by the "Creator."

……

After observing for seven or eight minutes, Audrey felt that her observation skills had improved again, which was likely because the object of her observation was an angel.

After gathering some information, Audrey decided to weave a dream about the Pale Age of the Quaternary Period, in which Hades and the "Primal Witch" were killed by the Seven Gods!

According to Audrey's analysis, the scene of Hades and the Primordial Witch being defeated by the Seven Gods must have left an indelible psychological scar on this witch, and she intends to "rub salt into the wound."

After consulting with Hobart on several historical questions about the Quaternary period, Audrey decided to give it a try.

With Hobart's help, the "Disaster Witch" successfully fell asleep, and even while asleep, her appearance continued to change.

Under Hobart's protection, the two of them leaped into the witch's dream.

The dream was quite chaotic. The mountains, though appearing to be mountains, were covered with chunks of flesh dripping with blood. The lakes within were filled with creatures that had strange mouths but resembled lotus flowers. The people in the dream were made up of strands of hair, looking somewhat like stick figures.

This was relatively normal; not far away, there were also black vortexes that made Audrey dizzy just by looking at them.

There were also some creatures that were just a giant skeleton wandering around, and creatures with a bull's head standing motionless in a pond.

These bizarre creatures and those vortexes are basically the part of this witch's madness and twisted nature. With Hobert's protection and the glasses made of "Order Crystals," Audrey was not greatly affected; otherwise, her spirit would have been easily corrupted in such a dream.

After calming herself down, Audrey began to weave her dream.

The surrounding scenery was stirred up, but Audrey tried her best not to touch the black vortexes or the strange creatures.

In her dream, an ancient city gradually appeared, an impression formed from descriptions of ancient Trier that Audrey had seen in some previous documents.

Because she had never seen the entire city, she could only create a part of it. Fortunately, it was used as a background, and in the dream, she could use the influence of the subconscious to make the target believe that it was the ancient Trier.

Next, Audrey began to create the image of the gods, first the goddess of the night with a sense of surging tranquility, followed by a majestic figure in the storm and dark clouds.

Just as He was sketching the third deity, a mountain full of flesh split open, and a huge statue rose from it!

The statue had an unparalleled beauty, and its hair stretched out like pythons.

The enormous statue swayed slightly, its stone outer shell crumbled away, and the statue came to life. Its hairs tumbled up and down, and everything the eyes at the tips of its hairs saw gradually turned gray and petrified. Everything it touched transformed into beautiful women.

Hopper immediately stepped in front of Audrey: "The Primal Witch!"

This is somewhat unexpected.

Audrey was also somewhat surprised: "Could this 'Disaster Witch,' who is on the verge of going out of control, be part of the 'Primordial Witch's' resurrection plan?"

"It's possible." Hobart realized that the "Primal Witch" in front of him was bluffing. He thought about it and it made sense. The uniqueness of the "Witch" pathway and the three Sequence 1 characteristics were all with the "Creator". The "Primal Witch" in the dream was just an empty shell.

It is very likely that He realized that if Audrey were allowed to weave her dream, the "Disaster Witch" would easily go completely out of control, which forced the "Primal Witch" residing in the "Disaster Witch" to come out and fight to the death.

Hobert led Audrey backward, saying, "I'll give you a vision; try to recreate it and see if it can affect the 'Primordial Witch'."

If that doesn't work, He will step in.

Audrey nodded and immediately received the image that Hobert had "distorted" into her mind. After a slight pause, she immediately conjured up that majestic figure.

The figure wore a dashing black cloak and exquisite armor, resembling an emperor on the battlefield.

Behind Him appeared a magical fairyland, shrouded in mist, with high platforms, pavilions, and flowing water floating in mid-air.

Within the pavilion, there is a faintly visible ancient bell, which seems to be an eye that looks down on everything.

With each breath He exhaled, He influenced the rules of the surrounding sea. Around Him, some rules were severely distorted, while others became ironclad laws that no deity could alter.

This is the mythical creature state of "Creator" Hobert at the "Half-Old One" level.

Upon seeing this figure, the "Primordial Witch" seemed to once again feel that surging, immense force that relentlessly shattered everything before her eyes!

He retreated; the mythical creature state of the "Creator" left an indelible psychological shadow on Him.

Even when He faced attacks from three gods alone in the Fourth Age, He was not so desperate!

The retreat of the "Primal Witch" immediately triggered a catastrophic consequence: large swathes of dreams began to collapse, as if the world had fallen into apocalypse.

Ultimately, the image of the "Primal Witch" also collapsed, and the entire dream became even more distorted and chaotic.

Hobert immediately led Audrey out of the dream, and the "Disaster Witch" in front of them was completely out of control.

Most of the time, Hobert is only at the level of the King of Angels, but he is the "Creator," and the "Creator" is Hobert, so when He needs him, he can possess the level of the past.

This is how it is right now. He has isolated himself from all contamination with his old level of understanding. Otherwise, if the King of Angels had emerged from an out-of-control angelic dream, he would certainly have been affected to some extent.

Then, Hobart continued to use the power of the "Creator" to change the monster in front of him from "living" to "dead".

The out-of-control "Disaster Witch" instantly lost all vitality.

Hobert then used his newly acquired ability to make the monster's extraordinary characteristics "chaotic," thus disabling its ability to resurrect, which fundamentally blocked its resurrection process.

Soon, Hobart acquired a level 0 sealed artifact comparable to the "Disaster Witch".

He then looked at Audrey: "Can the actions we just performed in the dream be used as a ritual for advancement?"

Audrey took a deep breath and assessed the situation: "It's okay."

Moreover, it was a very solid ceremony.

……

In the tomb of the "Black Emperor".

The Creator has been in a stable state for over a month, and now He is ready.

He once again brought out the uniqueness and extraordinary properties he had seized from the "Uncertain Mist" in the previous battle.

Initially, these extraordinary traits were intertwined under the influence of the "Uncertain Mist" spiritual imprint. Later, the "Creator" shattered them multiple times, eventually obtaining traits equivalent to four Sequence 1 levels.

The reason it is "equivalent to" is because these characteristics have not been used for promotion multiple times, and there is no such precise Sequence 1 "dose" as on Earth.

The "Creator" also intervened in the aggregation process, which is how these four characteristics were obtained.

Three of them clearly follow the same pathway, while the other one follows a separate pathway.

This made the "Creator" realize that there were two more Sequence 1 properties, which were likely with the "Children of Chaos".

In other words, the "Child of Chaos" had four pathways within him, two of which were the "Black Emperor" and the "Judge".

Another aspect of this captured route is that the main authority is "trading," and being outside of "trading" also includes things that can inflate the target's ambition, create an undisturbed "black box space," and abilities similar to "laws" and "attack reflection."

The Creator calls this path the "Overseer," and everything can initiate and complete transactions. Although the outcome of the transaction is exactly what He wants, He can remain uninvolved and act as the supervisor of the transaction.

The "creator" believes that what is more difficult to deal with than "transaction" is the other party's ability to "observe".

Most of the extraordinary powers of the past can alter the "outcome of a deal," but it is difficult to harm the person who initiated the deal but is merely observing it; hence the term "observer."

So the fourth path should be the "chaos" ability, which has the characteristic of "changing forward". Its uniqueness and the other two extraordinary characteristics are likely to be in the "Child of Chaos".

Based on the Sequence 1 extraordinary property of the only "Chaos" pathway obtained by the "Creator," He deduced that the authority of this pathway was clearly "Chaos," which could be described as restoration or "forward alteration."

Overall, there is no authority beyond "change".

Its main ability is probably a qualitative change and enhancement of the "Duke of Entropy" ability, which can return the target to a "chaotic" state.

Many of its abilities are very similar to those of the "Black Emperor," such as putting the target into a state of "chaos," which is very similar to the state of "disorder."

Another remarkable aspect is that "chaos" not only represents "the source of everything" but also "the unknown".

The "Child of Chaos," who possesses the authority of "chaos," should be able to manipulate the unknown. For example, something that is unknown to others may have a clear outcome for Him.

For example, in a chaotic region, it might be the initial state of the universe, or it might be a self-contained world where everything is unknown.

But for the "Child of Chaos," everything in this chaotic region is controllable, so if He so desires, the "unknown" can have a definite outcome.

The Creator believed that the Child of Chaos should be able to use his own status and the authority of Chaos to simulate the abilities of the other three pathways, including the Black Emperor.

The theory behind this ability is: first, a "chaotic" ability is generated, which is unknown at this time, but it can turn this unknown into the known. Under its guidance, abilities such as "change" or "trade" can be simulated.

Of course, one can only possess abilities within His authority; abilities not derived from adjacent pathways cannot be formed.

This conjecture arises because the "Creator" "remembered" some of the "Genius's" abilities.

The "genie" once helped Bernadette gain a Sequence 1 level and ability for a day, which was a kind of "change" that transformed Sequence 3 into Sequence 1.

Of course, it can also be seen as a very advanced "distortion", or a "distortion" that has undergone a qualitative change.

The reason why the "Genius" was not afraid that Klein would go back on his word in the "once" deal between the "Genius" and the "Fool" Klein was because he had the authority to "oversee the deal".

The genie told one thing the truth: He almost became a pillar back then!

This is a good thing for the "Creators," because with the efforts of the "Children of Chaos" ahead, the "Overseer" path is now a path with similar authority to the "Creators."

Having accommodated the uniqueness of the "Overseer," He can "change" this path into an adjacent path for the "Black Emperor" and the "Judge."

In the future, it should also be possible to transform "chaotic" paths into adjacent paths.

Inside the mausoleum, the "Creator" first recalled its previous conjectures, then adjusted its state, and waved to the "Observer's" uniqueness and a Sequence 1 characteristic. In its unsealed state, they quickly entered the "Creator's" body!

The "creator" felt no hindrance whatsoever, as if two raindrops had fallen into a glass of water.

But then, the "creator" seemed to become completely illusory, as if it had no connection with the real world.

Emptiness, coldness, and powerlessness filled all of the "Creator's" feelings.

Because He was already the old day, He did not lose His mind in the process; He simply felt that He had completely detached Himself from this world.

This feeling was strange, yet somewhat terrifying, because it seemed as if He could no longer exert any influence on the world.

At the same time, it is because of the old level that the "Creator" can summon a substitute more easily and give that "substitute" a "connection" to the real world.

The stand-in reached out and grabbed the "creator," who seemed to be drifting further and further away from the real world.

This phenomenon is clearly illogical. First, extraordinary power cannot be used during a process similar to advancement. Second, since the "Creator's" original body no longer belongs to this world, the substitute He summons should also not belong to this world.

But the "Creator" is the "Shadow of Order," and it is His disregard for order that constitutes the normal order.

Thus, the "Creator" did not continue to become illusory. Immediately afterwards, the power of the "Disordered Kingdom" manifested, quickly helping the "Creator" to accept and organize the abilities of the "Overseer".

Soon, the figure of the "Creator" began to solidify.

But it was at this moment that He felt His spirit was invaded in some way, and His consciousness was affected in some way.

That is the spiritual imprint of the "uncertain fog".

The appearance of the spiritual imprint indicates that this process of accommodating uniqueness is coming to an end.

The "Creator" immediately focused all its attention on dealing with this spiritual imprint, striving to keep it under control.

Just as He was about to summon the "Clock of Order," He suddenly grabbed His stand-in and coldly said, "Tell me, what would be the consequences if I let you go at this moment?"

The Creator paused for a moment and said, "I couldn't ask for more."

He realized that the spiritual imprint of the "Uncertain Mist" had failed to gain a place with the "Creator," so he instantly invaded the spirit and consciousness of the Stand that had a close connection with the "Creator."

This is the power of an ancient-level spiritual imprint; even though it is just an imprint, it seems to give people the feeling of a complete consciousness.

At the same time, the "Creator" realized that his ability to summon Stands had been "distorted," and he was unable to summon a new Stand at this time.

The Creator wasn't being sarcastic. If the Stand were to let go now, He would be more than happy to do so, as that would allow Him to completely sever the connection with the Stand.

This substitute will become an independent entity, while the "creator" will become illusory.

However, in that case, the "Creator" would no longer be affected by the Stand with the "Uncertain Mist" mental imprint, and could still pull himself back to the real world by summoning another Stand.

He doesn't even need to take action; the angels of Atlantis are enough to destroy the substitute. If that doesn't work, they can ask "The Fool" for help, which will also solve the problem easily.

Now, the Stand hasn't released the "Creator," so it's stuck between reality and illusion.

The stand-in said, "Let's discuss this."

The Creator discovered that, in its current state, it could still summon the Clock of Order, albeit a rather slow process.

He asked, "Who are you?"

"I am a part of you," the Stand said expressionlessly. "If you want complete control over the extraordinary properties you just acquired, if you want it to become an adjacent pathway to the previous two, you must accept me."

The Creator certainly knew that the Substitute was telling the truth. Without the mark of the Uncertain Mist, although it could complete the process of inclusion, there would be a noticeable inconsistency between its extraordinary characteristics.

After all, the "Overseer" path, the "Black Emperor" path, and the "Judge" path are not strictly adjacent paths, but rather paths with similar authority.

The Creator is also ready to accept a part of the spiritual imprint of the Uncertain Mist, making it a part of His divinity, but He does not wish for it to be a passive acceptance.

thump~

The "Clock of Order" was finally summoned. With a melodious chime, the Stand's figure only trembled for a moment before returning to normal: "It's useless. I'm not taking over your consciousness right now, and I'm not exactly a divine part, so the 'Clock of Order' is useless to me."

The "Creator" frowned. If he were to accept the "Uncertain Mist's" spiritual imprint as the other party intended, his own spirit and thinking would undergo significant changes.

However, if we don't accommodate it, continuing the stalemate is also dangerous, as it could very well lead to a complete break from some of our connections to the real world.

That would definitely affect your performance.

Neither of these two options is what the "Creator" wants to see, because He has been striving to maintain a good state so that He has the opportunity to devour the other Old Ones and eventually face the "Children of Chaos".

But soon the "Creator" had another way, and in the next second, Hobert appeared in the mausoleum.

He tried to pull the "Creator", but the problem was that he was in the real world and couldn't grasp the "Creator".

Furthermore, under the influence of the Stand "Uncertain Mist," the "Creator" is currently unable to affect the real world and cannot turn Hobert into an illusion as well.

Hobert stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then prayed to the Fool, asking Him to "fool" the real world and to accept the Creator back.

The Fool responded quickly, "fooling" the real world, but the Creator, in his current special state, still couldn't return.

Hobert suddenly realized that he was the "Creator's" biggest connection to the real world!

So he first returned to the palace of Angelou and spread his spirituality throughout the country, "distorting" the thoughts of all his subjects so that they would all praise their emperor.

In an instant, the surging "power of faith" flowed into the nine tombs, and after being "amplified" and "stabilized" by the tombs, it surged towards the "creator" and Hobert.

Because the "creator" was Hobart, their connection was strengthened.

At this moment, Hobart immediately returned to the mausoleum and leaped towards the now more illusory "Creator." The connection between the two indeed made them merge into one.

For a time, Hobart became the "foundation" for the "Creator's" existence in this world. The process of containment continued and soon came to an end, and the "Creator" returned to the real world.

As for the Stand bearing the mental imprint of "Uncertain Mist," it seems to have realized its fate. Of course, it's also possible that it simply doesn't have a complex thought process, which is why it didn't run away.

The Creator sensed that after returning to the real world, all of its abilities were no longer affected by the Stand. It was about to release the Stand from its maintenance, but then it thought that this was a good time to conduct an experiment.

So the "Creator" asked the "Fool," who still hadn't left, to fool the substitute, making the "Uncertain Fog's" mental imprint believe that it was the "Creator."

Because if the substitute is removed, a portion of the "Uncertain Mist's" spiritual imprint will revert to its previous state, attacking the "Creator's" true form.

This is because the root of these spiritual imprints lies in the uniqueness and superior extraordinary characteristics of the "Observer" pathway, and they are already within the "Creator" at this moment, which is inevitable.

However, the "Creator" can now focus entirely on resisting these spiritual imprints. This process of resistance may take some time. Currently, the "Creator" has the advantage and will eventually integrate a portion of the spiritual imprints within a controllable range.

It's impossible to not integrate at all; that's the price of gaining power. Currently, the "Creator's" advantage allows Him to integrate at will according to His own intentions.

If the "Uncertain Mist" were to believe that it is the "Creator's" spiritual imprint, even if only for a short while, theoretically, the "Creator" could quickly resolve the problem of the "Uncertain Mist's" spiritual imprint.

The "Fool," following the intentions of the "Creator," immediately "fooled" the other.

The "Creator" released the maintenance of the Stand, and in that instant, His spirit and consciousness were indeed impacted once again.

But this shock was very mild because the "shocker" considered himself the "shocked one".

This is equivalent to saying that if the "Creator" was a burning furnace before, then the spiritual imprint of the "Uncertain Mist" is like pouring a bucket of water into the furnace.

The spiritual imprint of the "Uncertain Mist" is now merely adding a fire to the furnace. This fire may be at a different temperature than the fire in the furnace, but it is still a flame.

The "Creator" separates the twisted and insane parts of the spiritual imprint from the obviously gentle parts.

He quickly merged the gentle parts and "gifted" away the twisted and insane ones.

At this point, the effect of the "fooling" ended, and the mental imprint of the "Uncertain Fog" seemed to suddenly "come to its senses," but it had already been decomposed. Although it still impacted the spirit and consciousness of the "Creator," the effect was limited.

Thanks to the efforts of the "creators," this influence quickly diminished.

The "Creator" did a quick assessment and concluded that the problem of the mental imprint should be completely resolved within three days.

Immediately afterwards, the "Creator" realized that it had acquired some fragmented knowledge and some scattered ideas.

Those all belong to the "uncertain fog." These pieces of knowledge and ideas will eventually have some impact on the "creator," but the impact will not be significant. Overall, it is already a good situation.

"Fooling" the old spiritual imprints or consciousness is a method that the "Creator" and the "Fool" discussed before, used to deal with the "Child of Chaos". The "Fool" is also using this method to deal with the "Celestial Venerable".

Based on current experiments, this method is very useful for "creators," but not so effective for "fools."

Because "Celestial Venerable" is already a part of Him, if He is not manipulated properly, He may very well "fool" Himself.

The "Creator," however, is different. He first deceives the spiritual imprint of the "Uncertain Mist" before integrating it, thus gaining control over the process.

The Creator expressed gratitude to the Fool, and only after the Fool left did He turn His attention to the knowledge and ideas He had gained from the spiritual imprint of the Uncertain Mist.

Although this knowledge initially seemed somewhat disorganized, the Creator's spirituality quickly organized it, making it part of the Creator's knowledge.

The same applies to "ideas," which will also become the "ideas" of the "creator." If there is any plan, the "creator" will even try to complete it.

Among these pieces of knowledge and ideas, the "Creator" quickly discovered some important information, including information about the "Celestial Venerable" and the "Uncertain Mist": the "Celestial Venerable" had once used the "Uncertain Mist" to conduct experiments on the decomposition of source matter and extraordinary characteristics.
