I'm not just human!

"The operation was a great success. The Father of All Stars was forced to leave, they divided up the Father of All Stars' territory, and the Crimson Agents even occupied the City of All Stars."

"Then, the Crimson Agent led the two of them to open the tomb."

"Originally, they just wanted to join forces to venture in and see if they could obtain any rare treasures, but no one expected that the tomb... would be full of all sorts of bizarre corpses."

"Yes, there are all sorts of bizarre corpses, ranging from the fungus level to the ruler level, and even some that are close to the level of veteran extraordinary monarchs."

"This time, the Crimson Agent has found a new lease on life. The Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet are not disappointed, because they know that with the rise of the Crimson Agent, they will also become completely powerful."

"The rest is simple. The Crimson Agents used these bizarre corpses to create a large number of Plundering Orbs through the Mechanical Plundering Disk."

"Then, he used the Holy Orb to activate the eternal plundering treasure that looked like a bone needle, and went around plundering the secret contracts that others had signed and understood, thus rapidly increasing his strength."

"But the Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet, as pirate emperors who have ruled the two major territorial seas of the Baron Ocean for hundreds of years, have a number of anchor spheres, which can provide mental stability for the three of them."

"Therefore, not only did the Crimson Agents' strength increase by leaps and bounds, but the Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet also became more and more powerful."

"Until one day, the Crimson Agent finally reached the strength to sign twenty-five secret contracts and attempted to absorb and contain the [Eternal Plunder], but failed."

As Dick Tudor spoke, a rather gloating smile crept across his face:

"Then, He finally discovered that it wasn't 'Eternal Plunder' at all, but merely the secret treasure of eternal plunder, hahaha!"

Xia Fa couldn't help but smile with delight. It was impossible not to be happy to see his enemy suffer such a humiliation, even though the Crimson Agent was already dead.

"So, the [Eternal Plunder]... actually fell into your hands?"

Upon hearing this, Dick Tudor nodded and continued:

"Yes, back in Rum City, the Crimson Executor mistakenly bestowed that cloud-like [Eternal Plunder] upon Pompeii. Since inducing the Snow Demon to lose control a second time doesn't require much skill, Pompeii could do it too."

"At that time, I was already the Emperor of Secrets, having signed thirty secret contracts, but because of some enemies I had offended... especially some subordinate gods and outer gods, I dared not act rashly."

"After all, if they discover the [Eternal Plunder], then all my efforts will be in vain."

"Not to mention, the cleaners were already active everywhere at that time, which made me even more afraid to run into them. Luckily, I ran into you then."

"To be honest, Xiafa, you really surprised me back then, because now it seems that if it had been just ten days later, the Crimson Agent would probably have abandoned Pompeii and taken back everything that had been given to him. In that case, I think the difficulty of obtaining [Eternal Plunder] would have increased dramatically."

Xia Fa smiled and said sincerely:

"Actually, from my perspective, if you hadn't given me a Silver Throne for free and sold me a Gate of Stars for 500,000 gold pounds in advance, I wouldn't have been able to kill Pompey. I might have been killed by Pompey or the Baldr family long ago. It's all thanks to you."

Dick waved his hand and said with a smile:

"In that case, we friends don't need to be so polite with each other, haha."

Immediately, He continued:

"So you probably understand why I acted strangely afterward. After obtaining the [Eternal Plunder], I simply hid inside the belly of a monster traveling whale, quietly absorbing and containing it, attempting to break through to the level of a god."

"Moreover, because the Crimson Agent constantly uses the power of the Eternal Plunder Treasure to plunder other people's signed and understood secret contracts on behalf of Himself, the Howling Emperor, and the Thousand-Faced Prophet, the power of the authority within is rapidly consumed and returns to the body of the Eternal Plunder."

“Originally, if it were the original form of [Eternal Plunder], then this power of authority could be restored no matter how much it was consumed.”

"However, because it is an eternal treasure, it cannot be replenished once it is used up."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa seemed to ponder something:

"So, by hiding inside the belly of a monstrous traveling whale, one can quietly become a god, without being hunted down by various powerful beings in the Protoss Realm, and without attracting the attention of the fake Nine Great Gods and the Cleaners?"

Dick Tudor then sighed softly:

“I know what you’re thinking, but it’s because of my own special circumstances, plus the fact that [Eternal Plunder] lost most of its power, that I was able to succeed unscathed. If it were you… well… I’ve been thinking about it for you lately, to see if there’s a similar way.”

Xia Fa had known this might be the case, so he wasn't disappointed upon hearing it.

After all, putting everything else aside, just figuring out how to make most of the authority of [Eternal Critical Strike] or [Eternal Secret] dissipate in order to refine an Eternal Treasure is an extremely difficult problem.

Especially considering that even the three true gods—[Paradox Joker], [Silver Universe], and [First History]—dare not act rashly.

Only by refining an eternal treasure can the scattered authority be fixed; otherwise, it will soon return.

On the other hand, he had long noticed Dictator's special nature, which was probably the main reason why He was able to quietly become a god.

However, just as they both had countless unique qualities, they tacitly agreed not to question each other.

Dick Tudor then picked up a bottle of whiskey, and without caring whether it was an exceptional spirit or not, he uncorked it and gulped it down.

After drinking to his heart's content, He then wiped his mouth with a very unreserved air of divine majesty and laughed:

"That's pretty much it. I figured this out after I became a god, using the strong connection between [Eternal Plunder] and the Crimson Agent. Of course, I also did some research."

"As for what happened after that, I don't know much about it."

"Because afterwards, the Crimson Agent somehow obtained the [Eternal Secret] and hid everything related to Himself, even changing His appearance and trying to blend in with Dionysius."

Xia Fa asked curiously:

"Do you know why He wants to be the head of my Gilgamesh family?"

Dick Tudor shook his head:

"I'm not sure. Didn't you ask at the time?"

Xia Fa said what he meant:

"No, this bastard has too many tricks up his sleeve. I'm afraid that if I wait too long to kill him, he will take the opportunity to escape. Moreover, he is a transcendent monarch, so I can't extract the memories from his soul."

To extract the memories of a transcendent lord, one would need to be at least an Outer God, since this involves the very essence of the soul and cannot be accomplished without a significant leap in rank.

At this point, Xia Fa suddenly realized that although many secrets about the Crimson Agent had been solved, there seemed to be quite a few more secrets surrounding the Crimson Agent.

For example, what was He looking for outside the carriages of the Dream Come True sea train, a place that, theoretically, would mean certain death if entered?

For example, why did He associate with Dionysius?

And why did He accomplish that great task for the "temporary reality"? And why did He insist on becoming the head of the Gilgamesh family?

Xia Fa even suspected that it was precisely because the Crimson Agent had done things for [Temporary Reality] and learned secrets it shouldn't have known that [Temporary Reality] allowed the Crimson Agent to be killed by it, essentially using someone else to do its dirty work.

As for the Crimson Demon Tree, it deliberately found an excuse to attack, likely already eyeing the Eternal Secret he had obtained.

However, to be fair, this Crimson Agent's schemes were so complex, its cunning so deep, and its scheming so meticulous... yet it was completely outmaneuvered by [Dickdo], [Crimson Tree], and [Brief Reality], the true god. In the end, it probably didn't even know why it died, and thought its plan was about to succeed again.

It seems there really is a mountain higher than the one before it.

That's right. Now that Dictator has become a god, Xiafa thinks that the symbol "[]" should be added to His name.

Of course, this is not necessary under normal circumstances.

"Speaking of which, between the [Eternal Secret] and the [Eternal Critical Strike], which should I absorb and contain if I could obtain the [Eternal Critical Strike]?"

Xia Fa thought that since they had already come this far, he might as well ask Dictator.

From the moment he first met Dictator, he felt that He was extraordinary, and now he felt that He was even more extraordinary.

Thinking of this, he added:

"By the way, so you used the authority of [Eternal Plunder] to stop the [Crimson Demon Tree] from killing me?"

Dick Tudor smiled and nodded:

"Well, no matter what, I can't just watch you die. In a sense, you're the only friend I can truly confide in. As for the cost, it wasn't that high, because I took a shortcut."

Xia Fa couldn't help but ask:

"What trick did you use?"

Dick Tudor smiled mysteriously:

“Originally, if I really wanted to stop the Crimson Tree’s attack with Eternal Plunder, I should have plundered the Outer God’s power that He used. But if I did that, I’m afraid I would be seriously injured and dying.”

After a slight pause, He said with considerable pride:

"So, what I chose was... to 'plunder' the idea in His mind that He wanted to attack you!"

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised:

"This...this is okay?"

Dick Tudor laughed:

"So you think that's why He suddenly stopped, and that if He continued to attack, I would continue to plunder the ideas in His mind that were attacking you. He was also afraid that the pollution He caused to reality would produce too many strange or monster-like things—that would make His Cleansers blame Him. Therefore, He retreated."

Xia Fa asked curiously:

"He fell for your trick the first time, so couldn't he stop you afterwards?"

At this moment, Dick Tudor's face suddenly revealed an indomitable and domineering air:

"It is possible, but as I said before, at worst, I can still stop Him even at a great cost. So, after His first failure, He had no choice but to retreat."

Xia Fa let out a long breath:

"Thank you so much, you have no idea how much you've helped me."

Dick Tudor picked up a bottle of wine, handed it over, and said with a smile:

"I told you not to be so polite with me. Since you insist on repaying me, then drink this bottle of wine."

Xia Fa was about to take the bottle when Dick Tudor suddenly withdrew his hand:

"Forget it, I'll keep it for myself. Giving it to someone like you who doesn't know anything about wine would be a waste, hahaha."

Xia Fa defended himself by saying:

"What do you mean I don't know anything about wine? I just don't drink much normally, haha. If you don't believe me, let me try some."

Dick Tudor chuckled:

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. So you should understand which kind of Eternal Token you should absorb and accommodate, right? [Eternal Secret] isn't one of the strongest dozens of Eternal Tokens, but [Eternal Critical Strike] is, and it ranks very high."

Xia Fa pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and asked:

Why isn't [Eternal Secret] ranked among the top dozens?

Dick Tudor replied without hesitation:

"It's quite simple. [Eternal Secret] is somewhat lacking in offensive methods. However, because the concept of 'secret' is very broad and extensive, it can actually rank among the top few out of the strongest dozens of eternal credentials."

After thinking for a moment, He immediately added in more detail:

"Moreover, it seems you are attracted to the [Eternal Secret], which makes things easier."

"You can absorb and contain [Eternal Critical Strike] while simultaneously using the various powers of [Eternal Secret]; these two things are not contradictory."

"In fact, many gods and outer gods do this, but they can't fully exert the power of the [Eternal Secret], they can only exert about 20 to 30%, but that's enough for most people."
