Anime Crossover: Starting with an Infinite Dragon God as a Mount

So, if Su Mu could also make his actions occur in a four-dimensional way...

In this way, if someone is in front of Su Mu, Su Mu can directly reach out and remove their internal organs without touching their skin.

Even if the opponent wears the most sturdy armor on their body, it will be ineffective.

Because from a three-dimensional perspective, he might be completely covered by armor.

But for Su Mu, his heart and armor were actually placed side by side in front of him.

Thinking this, Su Mu struggled to control her fingers.

Because it was his first time experiencing four-dimensional perception, he was not yet very comfortable with this state.

His gaze fell on his closed drawer, and then, without opening it, he took out the notebook inside.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Brilliant 22nd Path!

A wave of dizziness washed over me, and the notebook in my hand suddenly fell to the ground. The Tarot card named "The World" reappeared in my hand.

Su Mu covered his forehead with one hand, his face pale and exhausted, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

The consumption is simply too great.

However, after observing from a four-dimensional perspective for a while, he took out a book from the closed drawer and actually exhausted all the spiritual power in his body, even reaching a state of overdraft.

It was merely a depletion of spiritual energy that would have caused him to be in this state.

The key point is that he also bore a tremendous mental burden.

Observing the world from a four-dimensional perspective yields far more information than a three-dimensional perspective, sometimes by hundreds or thousands of times.

Even his later actions, which allowed him to act as a four-dimensional being, placed a burden on him.

While using this tarot card, Su Mu was so immersed in the allure of the higher-dimensional world that he did not realize he had already reached his limit.

However, Su Mu was not discouraged by this.

He picked up the tarot card, a faint smile on his face.

On the card "The World," the goddess dressed in purple cloth is running and dancing, holding a scepter. She possesses boundless power and travels throughout the world to reveal the truth.

This card indicates that there is nothing in this world that is unattainable.

Yes, Su Mu realized that the function of this "world" was not just to observe, interfere with, or control the world from a four-dimensional perspective.

Or rather, it is not because of the perspective of "higher-dimensional beings" that one is able to control the world.

Rather, it means that he, who is able to control the world, naturally possesses the means to become a higher-dimensional being.

When using this card, the whole world appears to him like a running machine, and he is the operator of that machine.

He had previously obtained tarot cards.

The "Minor Arcana: Imprint: Scepter IV" obtained through the Bronze achievement possesses the ability to completely imprison enemies.

The "Grand Arcana Rubbing - Lovers" crafted from gold allows one to transcend the barriers of time and space and share the power of their loved one.

However, because it is such a powerful thing as the Grand Arcana, the rubbing has greater limitations and can only be used once.

Su Mu had thought that the limitation of the Grand Arcana rubbings was only in the number of times they could be used, but now it seems that it is more than that.

Compared to the authentic Tarot deck "The World," which truly controls the world, the "Lovers" deck, if it only allows one to share the power of a lover, seems rather weak.

Looking back now, rubbings were not only limited in number of uses, but also a stripped-down version with weakened and restricted features in various aspects.

In comparison, this genuine Major Arcana "The World" tarot card truly deserves the description "terrifyingly powerful".

Whether it's the immense power to control the entire world or a perspective that transcends the world.

Looking at the "world" in his hand, Su Mu suddenly remembered a passage from the book "The Jade Record" that he had read before.

In this way, one can obtain the glory of the world and stay away from darkness and ignorance.

This is the power of all forces, capable of destroying the strong and uprooting the weak.

This means that by seeking immortal spirituality, one can awaken from the reality of existence, gain clairvoyance, and find the light.

After that, when you return to real life, everything becomes clear, and the spiritual eternity that can be achieved through enlightenment will transcend the limitations of time and space.

This passage from "The Jade Book" seems to share many similarities with the "World" tarot card.

However, the Jade Record focuses on spiritual transcendence, ultimately achieving omnipotence in the material world.

The "World" tarot card, because it represents the world, means that for a truly qualified holder, transcending the world, both spiritually and physically, is only natural.

"As expected of the Tarot cards, which are said to be capable of anything—"

Su Mu held the tarot card in his hand, a satisfied smile on his face.

He once thought that the so-called "omnipotence" was probably just an exaggeration.

However, given that just one tarot card has such terrifying power, it seems reasonable that collecting all the tarot cards would grant one omnipotence.

Based solely on the concept of "world," he felt that the material world was like a machine that could be manipulated at will.

In natural theology, the concept of a "clockmaker" has been proposed.

If you see a stone while walking down the street, you will naturally assume that the stone was there all along.

However, if you replace that stone with a clock, people will naturally assume that there is a clockmaker behind the clock, meaning that the clock didn't just appear out of nowhere, but was made by a clockmaker.

If there are watchmakers, then it's perfectly normal for there to be stone craftsmen, and even craftsmen from all over the world.

With the "World" card in hand, Su Mu, provided he possesses sufficient power, can become the "Craftsman" of the entire material world!

Chapter 59 Orpheus Wants to Be Punished

"Looking down with a detached perspective, controlling the material world as if manipulating a machine—"

Gazing at the "world" lying quietly in his palm, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He couldn't help but recall the beings called "demon gods" from a certain work he had once read.

Demon gods are a special type of magician who have fully entered the realm of gods. They have mastered all knowledge of magic and, through special rituals, elevate themselves to the realm of gods.

A fully-fledged demon god possesses limitless power, capable of overturning all laws; the world is fragile and easily shattered by their touch.

I wonder, once the power of this "world" is fully unleashed, how will it compare to this?

Even if it's hard to compare, what if we combined all 22 Major Arcana cards?

It's important to know that this card, "The World," is by no means among the top in terms of its symbolism and significance in occultism among all the Major Arcana cards.

The card that truly symbolizes power, the unknown, the unimaginable, and the immeasurable is number "0," the "Fool," which represents the beginning and end of the Tarot deck.

Furthermore, if one could collect all 22 Major Arcana cards...

"However, it is still too difficult in the end." Su Mu sighed and carefully put away the "world" in his hand.

To collect all 22 Major Arcana cards, you'll need to achieve at least 22 Diamond-level achievements.

This is assuming that every Diamond-level achievement is a Major Arcana card.

Even if the rewards given by the system are similar, there is a high probability that the rewards issued later will be similar to or complementary to the previous rewards.

But this doesn't guarantee that the diamond-level rewards given by the system will always be Major Arcana cards, right?

Su Mu sighed inwardly.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

However, which is more valuable, 22 diamond-level achievements or 1 rainbow-level achievement?

Although the Rainbow level achievement is the highest level achievement, it shouldn't be comparable to 22 Diamond level achievements, right?

[Ding! Accumulate 5 achievements to redeem a higher-level achievement!]

Seemingly sensing Su Mu's doubts, the system's mechanical voice rang out to answer him.

In other words, is the Kabbalah Tree far less powerful than a complete Tarot deck?

Su Mu was puzzled, but quickly realized what was going on.

Although he had obtained the Kabbalah Tree, he was completely unable to use it.

However, depending on the specific tarot cards, their effects vary...

If we could obtain them all.

Then, even an ordinary person with no background would probably be able to use it freely!

The current limitations on Su Mu's use of tarot cards are issues such as insufficient spiritual power and a lack of willpower.

For example, the "world" in his hands consumes an astonishing amount of spiritual energy.

Moreover, passively receiving too much external information while using it can also put a burden on one's mental state.

However, if you can obtain certain specific tarot cards...

Then, these two problems will probably be solved directly!

"In other words, what is equivalent to a complete Tarot deck should be one that can fully exert its effects."

"Compared to me, who is severely restricted and can only light up the Kabbalah Tree of the 'Kingdom'..."

"The one that can truly unleash 'omnipotent' power on par with, or even surpass, the complete Tarot system should be the complete Kabbalah Tree, shining with four worlds, ten primal elements, and 22 paths!"

Su Mu felt a sense of realization and examined the Kabbalah within his body once more.

As before, of the ten primal elements, only the "Kingdom" shines brightly, while three of the four worlds are completely dark. Of the 22 paths, only the path from the "Kingdom" to the "Foundation" still carries a glimmer of light—wait a minute!

Looking at his Kabbalah, Su Mu's face was filled with shock.

Of the four worlds now, apart from the fourth-ranked "Active World" or "Material World," a faint light has also appeared in the third world, the "Forming World"!

The source of this light is the last of the 22 paths, the path connecting the tenth element "Kingdom" and the ninth element "Foundation"!

In the third world, this path is shimmering!

Yes, previously, the path between the tenth and ninth primal substances only appeared slightly luminous, far inferior to the dazzling "Kingdom." Its light was completely invisible in the dim Third World.

But now, the brilliance of this path is almost on par with that of the Tenth Primal "Kingdom"! Even the gloomy Third World cannot obscure its light!

In other words...

This path is probably not far from being fully connected.

Su Mu realized this.
