Opening his eyes, Lex saw the dim room, but from the light filtering through some cracks, he was sure it was already morning.
"It should be around seven in the morning now, half an hour until breakfast, and about 13 hours until the negative effects disappear."
Lex found that once he had nothing to do, his grasp of time became so clear, so clear it was a little uncomfortable. After all, in an era without television, internet, or video games for entertainment, spending 13 hours in a place like a prison was sheer agony.
Since there was nothing to do anyway, Lex simply got up, then raised both hands level and chanted a spell.
"Eye that sees everything."
"God that Oversees All Things."
A moment later, Lex saw the 'mysterious book', watching this illusory yet heavy book open by itself, stopping on the page of 'Artisan of Mysteries'.
"The dimensional crystal has increased, now at 1079, finally breaking through a thousand."
Lex was quite emotional, then looked at the record.
"The book you couldn't find told you to guess where I am, and generously rewarded you with 10000 dimensional coin again, which has been automatically converted into 100 dimensional crystal."
This time there was only one record.
However, new items appeared on the tag side.
"You have obtained a new tag."
"Indestructible Will: This tag has received more than 33 praises. Your will is as hard as steel, and there is a small chance to be immune to the effects of abilities and items targeting the mind."
In addition, the number of likes for other tags also increased to some extent.
'lord of traps' received 1019 likes, 'crimson king' had 785 times, 'playboy' was 754 times, 'National Husband' had 750 times, 'Luen Gentleman' 639, 'God Slayer' 532, 'Red of War' 316, 'Future Duke' 167 times.
With the enhancement of these tags, Lex's trap abilities were significantly improved, the power of his flame abilities and related items were strengthened, and others, such as his attractiveness to the opposite sex, social charm, abilities against True God, and the intensity of leading wars, all received different degrees of enhancement.
These were the 'powers' bestowed upon him by the Watcher!
Lex turned the page to the 'Creation' section and found that there were more options in this item.
"Song of the Mermaid, Cup of the Dead, Sleepless Eye..."
Suddenly, Lex saw two 'interesting' items.
"staff of resentment: This item allows you to master some of the abilities of a 'Wraith' and a 'Zombie'. It requires one complete beyonder characteristics of a 'Wraith', a sturdy wooden staff, some residual spirituality of an ancient Wraith, 10 grams of mummy powder, and 485 dimensional crystal."
"Baron Emblem: Using it, you can exercise some of the abilities of a 'Corrupted Baron' and a 'Briber'. It requires one complete beyonder characteristics of a 'Corrupted Baron', an emblem carved by yourself, three berserk grasses, 5 drops of black mandrake juice, and 246 dimensional crystal."
"I have the beyonder characteristics of both 'Wraith' and 'Corrupted Baron'. Last night, I also picked up what should be the beyonder characteristics of a 'Spirit Medium'. Speaking of which, I have quite a few beyonder characteristics on hand now. I even have an incomplete 'Gatekeeper' characteristics."
Lex's gaze fell on the information of those two items again: "The staff of resentment can allow me to master some of the abilities of a 'Wraith' and a 'Zombie'. The Zombie is fine, but the 'Wraith' is very strong. When I encountered Eugene in Tingen City, if I hadn't summoned the projection of a deity, I would have likely died."
"This staff requires nearly five hundred crystal, that's half of my 'family fortune'."
"The Baron Emblem is also good, and its 'price' is only half of the 'staff of resentment'. I still remember fighting that 'Corrupted Baron' when protecting Kaven in Backlund; he could twist my attacks, which was a very practical ability."
"However..."
"I still lean towards the 'staff of resentment'. A Wraith can allow me to become a shadow, pass through obstacles, hide in mirrors and all reflective objects. It can also possess and control opponents, and control ice and frost..."
"Hmm, and the required materials, besides the beyonder characteristics, I happen to have the residual spirituality of an ancient Wraith. I only need a wooden staff and mummy powder to create it."
"I'll find a chance to go ashore and collect these materials. With the 'staff of resentment', the 'evil bandage' can be sold. I just don't know if the members of the Tarot Club will be interested."
Lex turned the page, found his last message about 'whether drinking another potion would lead to losing control', and saw that there was already a reply below.
"I have the crimson king: Excess characteristics can be expelled by having children, do you understand what I mean?"
Excess characteristics can be expelled by having children? I understand. No wonder Mother gave birth to Harribel, and Harribel was born half-Beyonder. So beyonder characteristics can be inherited by the next generation like genes!
"Romance King: Does the protagonist want to have children?"
Sure enough, everyone is leaning towards having children.
"Mojou: It won't immediately lead to losing control; instead, it will enhance the Pyromaniac's abilities to a certain extent, but it requires an additional potion to be digested, affecting the digestion progress, and the risk of losing control will indeed increase. By the way, most Angel King have assimilated two Sequence 1 potions, and a small number have assimilated one Sequence 1 potion and a uniqueness."
"Ting: No, but you have to digest it again."
Fortunately, I won't lose control on the spot. It's just that I have to digest it again, and it will enhance the abilities of the current Sequence to a certain extent, but the risk of losing control will indeed increase.
However, I master the Acting, which can be used to avoid the risk of losing control and accelerate potion digestion. So drinking the second 'Pyromaniac' potion is not a big problem.
Most Angel King assimilate two Sequence 1 potions, and a small number assimilate one Sequence 1 potion and a uniqueness?
I know that uniqueness is the physical symbol of the corresponding authority of the beyonder pathway. Angel King can even assimilate uniqueness, and one Sequence 1 potion, or even two...
So, this is the secret of their power?
Two Sequence 1 potions should be from different pathways, right?
But being able to assimilate uniqueness is truly powerful. A Watcher once said that uniqueness can influence the corresponding power of the same Sequence, either enhancing or suppressing the Beyonder abilities of the same pathway. It is the embodiment of authority, like a king and his subjects.
An existence capable of assimilating uniqueness is only one step away from a True God, although this step is definitely not that easy to cross.
Feeling that his spirituality had noticeably weakened, Lex ended the summoning and wanted to take out his pocket watch to check the time, but worried that the smooth surface of the pocket watch would act as a mirror, Lex had to abandon the idea.
He lay back on the ground, waiting for breakfast to be delivered, but after a long wait, there was no movement outside the door.
"It's only morning, and I still have to stay here until tonight. How can time pass so slowly?"
