I'm not just human!

Dictator smiled and spoke, still casually leaning against the Roman-style column in the palace, his gaze fixed on Xiafa.

Xia Fa thought for a moment and then said:

"What is the fundamental secret technique?"

This is something he has never found in "The Mystical Exploration Record of the Fog Man", "Secret Texts and Divination" or other books on mysticism.

But ironically, whether he understood the advanced secret contract of the Ether Source or the overlord-level secret contract of the Silver Throne, he obtained the original secret technique.

Coincidentally, Dick Tudor had mentioned this before, which is why Xia Fa asked this question.

Dick Tudor spoke almost without thinking:

"It's very simple. When extraordinary individuals claim to have 'completely understood' a certain secret text, whether it's an ordinary secret text, an advanced secret text, or an overlord-level secret text, they are still far from having a complete and thorough understanding. For example, there are always a few secret texts that they cannot understand."

“In this situation, although it is still possible to sign another secret contract, and the risk of losing control is not very high, there will be some losses. As for the losses, they will naturally be the original secret techniques corresponding to each of the secret contracts.”

"Only by thoroughly understanding all the secret texts on the secret contract can one obtain the corresponding original secret technique."

"For example, the basic Assassin's Pact can grant you original secret techniques such as 'Psychological Stealth,' 'Shadow Stealth,' and 'Deadly Thrust,' which are usually only available on advanced secret acts."

"There are about ten basic secret techniques in a normal secret contract, while there are one hundred in a high-level secret contract. However, a superhuman can only obtain one technique from a single secret contract."

Xia Fa nodded thoughtfully.

He had never encountered a situation where he couldn't understand the secret text on the contract, but it seemed that this was a very common phenomenon in the extraordinary world.

After all, neither the demigods like Tyrean nor the like Chestnut Fensni had ever mentioned the existence of the Origin Technique to him, so he probably hadn't obtained it.

They might not even know about this occult knowledge.

Dick Tudor concluded by adding:

"According to the righteous god [First History], while the abilities of each overlord-level secret contract are fixed, their original secret techniques are different, and there are as many as a thousand of them! However, extraordinary individuals can only obtain one of them, and it seems to be purely random, so..."

A sly smile appeared on his face:

“You can absolutely use the original secret techniques of your Silver Throne as your trump card. After all, there are only a handful of people in history who have signed the Silver Throne, and it’s impossible for them to be able to count all one thousand original secret techniques of the Silver Throne.”

Xia Fa listened attentively, his eyes sparkling.

There are actually a full thousand different origin techniques corresponding to each of the overlord-level secret contracts.

Then it seems that my [Judgment Silver Sun] can really be considered a hidden trump card.

So, the Primal Secret Technique [Holy Spirit Crystal] that I obtained from the advanced secret contract of the Ether Source is probably unique?

No, that's not right. The Ether Source is just a high-level secret contract. There must have been a lot of people who signed it throughout history. After all, there are so many life-bearing planets in the universe, and there are only one hundred original secret techniques corresponding to the Ether Source. They have probably all been counted long ago.

Of course, only beings of angelic rank or higher could obtain and understand this level of intelligence.

On the other hand, it seems impossible for the enemy to guess what the specific secret technique of his Ether Source is, which can be considered a hidden killing move.

"This knowledge is truly invaluable," Xia Fa said, raising his head to look at Dikto, and said quite sincerely.

Thank you.

Dick waved his hand casually:

"Why are you being so polite with me? Just help me get that thing from Pompeii, haha. But you also need to be careful and don't push yourself."

Xia Fa solemnly hummed in agreement, indicating that he would remember, and then said:

"Can you take me back to the Mist God Hunting Grounds?"

Dick Tudor smiled slightly:

"of course."

The moment His words fell, a rainbow bridge appeared before Xiafa.

The rainbow bridge, which was originally a refreshing color like the sky after the rain, almost immediately turned bloody, with countless skulls and bone claws appearing and hanging precariously by the bridge, as if they would fall at any moment.

"Go ahead, my old friend is almost here too."

Fortunately, Xia Fa had already witnessed how the beach castle could transform from a fairytale-like beauty into a gloomy, ghostly place, so this time she was much more accustomed to it and walked onto the blood-stained rainbow bridge in just a few steps.

As he walked, his figure suddenly disappeared on the rainbow bridge, and the rainbow bridge collapsed into specks of light.

Squeak-!

The sound of the wooden door being pushed open echoed in the empty palace, making one's teeth ache.

Patriarch Osius entered.

The patriarch of the Silver Church, who was second only to God, had a face full of wrinkles that seemed to be preoccupied. He didn't even glance at Dicket when he walked in, lost in thought.

Dick Tudor walked over with a smile on his face, casually tossed the empty whiskey bottle he had just finished drinking on the ground, and picked up a bottle of vodka.

With a "pop," He popped the ebony cork off the vodka, and He was just about to take a big gulp...

Patriarch Osius then suddenly looked at Him.

"What's wrong? After drinking so much, are you thinking about those things again?"

Dick paused briefly while pouring the wine, glancing at Patriarch Osius without answering, before gulping down half the bottle in one go.

Patriarch Osius sighed softly, hesitated, and ultimately decided not to discuss the topic, instead asking:

"Do you possess a supreme-level secret covenant, the Silver Throne? I would like to represent our Silver Church and offer three million gold pounds to purchase it from you."

Dick, still tipsy, casually lay down on the sofa before replying:

"Three million gold pounds? Since when can a hegemonic secret agreement be measured by price?"

Patriarch Osius raised a slight brow:

"That person who appeared in the Mist God Hunting Grounds, the future extraordinary monarch who signed the Silver Throne, is related to you, isn't he?"

Dick Tudor suddenly realized what was happening and sat up abruptly:

"Old fox, were you testing me just now?"

A mischievous smile, incongruous with his advanced age, appeared on Patriarch Osius's lips:

"So, does this mean you're indirectly admitting it?"

Dick Tudor shook his head like a stubborn mule:

"I don't know."

When Patriarch Osius saw His attitude, he became very anxious:

"Quick, tell me! If this gets recruited by another church, and Lord Silver Universe blames me, how am I supposed to take responsibility? That's an extraordinary being who signed the Silver Throne!"

Dick Tudor still maintains a tough, unyielding attitude:

"Who told you to try and trick me? I don't know anything, haha. Besides, do you think your Silver Church can compete with the Absolute Church? I've always heard the rumors that the strongest of the nine righteous gods, the [Absolute Defense], also signed the Silver Throne, a hegemonic-level secret pact, right?"

When Patriarch Osius saw that He was unwilling to speak, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Snapped!

The half-empty bottle of whiskey in Dick's hand suddenly exploded, spilling the whiskey all over him, but the glass shards disappeared in mid-air.

Dick Tudor was suddenly startled, as if he had sobered up, and angrily said:

"Old man, you—"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Not far behind Him, beside the platinum throne, on a long table laden with various fine wines, bottles of liquor burst open one after another.

Dick's face was contorted with heartache. He had initially wanted to stop them, but suddenly deflated like a limp ox, and lay down on the sofa in a cowardly manner.

"I can't beat you anyway, so whatever, I'm not saying anything. Also, you have to buy me back all the wine you wasted!"

……

Mist God Hunting Grounds, Southwest District.

The broad, heart-shaped leaves, as wide as door panels, overlapped each other, resting on the crisscrossing vines and branches in the air.

The vines and branches are like the skeleton of the house, while the broad leaves become the brick walls, interdependently forming a verdant house.

Xiafa is located in this natural plant house, where he has just been sown with live iron powder.

This plant house has no entrance and is completely hidden from the outside by dense bushes and ancient trees that are thousands of meters tall.

He happened to appear here when he came down from the Rainbow Bridge. It's unclear whether Dick Tudor did it on purpose, but it made things convenient for him, as he no longer needed to find those towering trees to make tree holes.

Previously, in Dick Tudor's palace, time was a bit tight, and he hadn't had time to examine the specific details of the two secret abilities of the newly acquired Star Gate.

Now, I finally have time to calm down and take a good look.

With a thought, Xia Fa's knowledge of the relevant secret abilities in his memory automatically surfaced in a form he could understand.

[Starry Body]

[The core secret ability of the Gate of Stars: After use, the body will merge with the starlight of the stars, gaining five abilities: "Teleport," "Starlight," "Exile," "Seal," and "Gravity."]

[Flash: Appears anywhere in space within a certain range; the size of the range depends on rank or tier.]

[Starlight: When attacked, the body can disintegrate into starlight, thus avoiding most attacks.]

[Exile: Exiles the enemy into the Protoss realm. After reaching the demigod level, the exile can extend to the cosmos. The higher the rank or level, the deeper the exile.]

[Seal: Use the power of the stars to seal the target. Once you reach the Dominator rank, you can choose to seal the target inside a planet.]

[Gravity: Manipulate the gravity of all things in the world to launch unexpected attacks. The higher the rank or position, the greater the gravitational coefficient that can be manipulated.]

"This……"

Xia Fagang was utterly shaken when he finished reading it.

Originally, after signing the overlord-level secret contract of the Gate of Stars, the process of obtaining the contract's abilities was so gentle and peaceful that he subconsciously felt that the Gate of Stars was probably inferior to the Silver Throne.

But now, Xia Fa realizes that he was wrong, terribly wrong.

At this moment, he could only sincerely exclaim, "Truly worthy of being a hegemon-level secret contract!"

Whether it's the Silver Throne or the Gate of Stars, they truly deserve the title of overlord in the Secret Pact!

Although the three abilities of banishment, sealing, and gravity are not something he can do now, whether it's banishing a target to the depths of the Protoss Realm, sealing it inside a planet, or manipulating gravity to attract meteorites, they all require at least a demigod level.

However, the abilities Flash and Star Power can greatly make up for his current shortcomings!

The Silver Throne is indeed extremely domineering and powerful, but it is slightly lacking in flexibility. The Star Silver Charge is more for offense and not very useful for dodging.
