The Celestial Master and Adam worked together seamlessly. Adam, with his long golden beard, gazed into the "dark side of the universe" with clear eyes.
All movement in the "dark side of the universe," a viscous liquid, immediately ceased. At this moment, a "mental storm" swept through my mind, and I had to try my best to maintain my composure so that my thoughts would not wander and I would completely forget that I was in a battle.
While Adam was using "Mind Storm," he removed the bronze cross from his neck and threw it to the Taoist priest.
The Celestial Master held up a cross, "recreating" a huge light and shadow, in which one could vaguely see a person pointing at the "dark side of the universe".
A blinding beam of light descended, transforming into a golden cross radiating divine light before striking the "Dark Side of the Universe." Like a sharp sword, it pierced the viscous liquid within the "Dark Side of the Universe."
Mystery reappears: Let there be light!
Intense light shone from the interior of the "dark side of the universe," causing him to collapse instantly, but fortunately he still retained the form of a demonic phantom.
Adam then looked at the "dark side of the universe" again, and the huge demonic phantom immediately sat down, as if it were leisurely having afternoon tea.
"Battle Hypnosis" at the level of a true god!
The Celestial Master continued to hold up the bronze cross, "reproducing" a huge iron-black cross. This cross, seemingly standing between heaven and earth, had iron nails and chains. After it appeared, the huge demonic phantom of the "dark side of the universe" naturally opened its arms, allowing the chains to lock its arms and the iron nails to lock its wrists.
Mystery reappears: I am guilty!
As an evil god, the "dark side of the universe" is certainly guilty, so the appropriate punishment is that the phantom image in the form of a demon explodes like a balloon.
The "Dark Side of the Universe" in its demon form was also severely damaged. When the giant cross disappeared, only a viscous liquid much smaller than before remained.
Although the cooperation between the Celestial Master and Adam was seamless, even if the opponent was a true god, they would still be easily defeated by them.
However, they also cannot completely kill the "dark side of the universe" with its unique "abyss" pathway in a short period of time.
The "dark side of the universe" has been resisting, and perhaps if it can hold on for another ten or twenty seconds, it can re-establish contact with the abyss of the real world and restore itself to the level of a true god.
Moreover, the spiritual senses of the "dark side of the universe" suggest that if we wait a little longer, there is still a chance for things to turn around.
The so-called turning point should come from the Outer Gods in the starry sky. If Odis and the others had only killed the "God's Abomination" Siea, those Outer Gods might have just watched the show.
However, if the "Dark Side of the Universe" is at risk of being destroyed, the Outer Gods should provide some assistance to prevent the "Mother Tree of Desire" from suffering too much loss.
To put it bluntly, it means leaving enough unstable factors on Earth, which is also beneficial to them.
Just then, Odis arrived to provide support.
As a Sequence 1, theoretically he couldn't be of much help, but Odis possessed the "Grape Leaf," a holy light that demons utterly despised.
That is the purest power in the world, a powerful weapon against demons.
When the "grape leaf" was taken out, the already extremely weak "dark side of the universe" couldn't help but tremble.
This kind of restraint in power is unavoidable even for the "dark side of the universe".
Of course, what made him tremble was not only the "grape leaves," but also the person using the "grape leaves" and his own condition.
First, Odis is destined to die. The key is who uses the "grape leaf." According to Odis's summary, this grape leaf can be used to kill enemies of a higher level. At this time, Odis is half a level below the "Dark Side of the Universe," and his will to kill the "Dark Side of the Universe" is very firm.
Secondly, the "dark side of the universe" is currently in a very weak state.
The battle just now has left almost no normal wild animals within a hundred kilometers, and they can no longer escape by exploiting the depravity and evil within the wild animals' hearts.
With the Celestial Master and Adam present, the "dark side of the universe" is inevitable.
Not only could they not escape, but the actions of the "Dark Side of the Universe" were completely restricted by the Celestial Master and Adam's abilities, which was tantamount to exposing their necks to Odis for cutting.
Odis held the "grape leaf" in both hands, and a clear light fell, forming a long sword that looked like it had pure light, which pierced into the body of the "dark side of the universe".
Beams of light pierced through the "dark side of the universe." This time, the clear light was different from the light that the Celestial Master had "reappeared" before. The light emitted by the "Ancient Sun God" had only dispersed the viscous liquid in the "dark side of the universe." Although it had a certain purifying effect, it was not thorough enough, which allowed the viscous liquid to reassemble.
At this moment, these clear lights, though not dazzling, can fundamentally purify the viscous liquid.
Finally, the clear light completely burst through the "dark side of the universe," leaving only a tall, thin human skeleton of the evil god.
The "grape leaf" in Slaodes's hand split open in the middle, its power about to be exhausted, but the longsword composed of clear light was still there.
The longsword pierced the skeleton's head again, all the way to its chest.
Suddenly, a groan that made all the angels' heads ache rang out. The skeleton collapsed and flew away into the distance like a shooting star.
With a wave of his hand, the Celestial Master scooped up three enormous meteors from his long robe, which were the uniqueness of the "Abyss" pathway and the two Sequence 1 characteristics.
Other "meteors" fell to the ground, either causing a large number of creatures to mutate into demons, or turning the lake water into blood. All the creatures in and around the lake mutated, or combined with other creatures, giving those creatures twisted and powerful abilities!
The Celestial Master glanced at the uniqueness and extraordinary characteristics, frowned, placed the two Sequence 1 characteristics into the "Knowledge Wilderness," temporarily sealed the uniqueness, and threw it to Odis: "Find a way to deal with it."
After Odis received it, the spiritual realized that within the uniqueness of the "Abyss" path, there was a strong spiritual remnant of the "Primordial God".
Its power was so great that even the Celestial Master dared not place it in the "Wilderness of Knowledge." After all, the "Primordial" had once forcibly contained the "Wilderness of Knowledge," and putting this unique item in might create a connection and cause uncontrollable consequences.
Odis thought for a moment and decided to find a secluded place to seal it away.
At this moment, the battlefield where Fabuti and Medici were besieging " Bound God " changed again. As expected, reinforcements from other Outer Gods arrived. The first to arrive were "Hidden Sage" and the last remaining angel from the "Morse Penitentiary".
The remaining support was somewhat unfamiliar to Odis and the others. A beautiful woman arrived shortly after, followed by a huge siren, a middle-aged woman with a maternal glow, a tree-man bearing heart-shaped fruits, and so on.
Apart from the "Hidden Sage," the other reinforcements were basically at the level of angels or archangels, clearly representing the power or followers that the Outer Gods had sent down in previous eras using their respective strengths and methods.
The seven gods not only maintain the barrier left by the "original" in the astral plane, but also keep an eye on the situation on Earth. So normally these outer gods' followers don't dare to show their faces, but now they've all come out at once.
But as soon as they arrived on the battlefield, they witnessed the "Dark Side of the Universe" being cleanly and efficiently wiped out.
They glanced at the gradually yellowing grape leaf for a second or two, and almost without hesitation, left immediately.
Because of the lack of the "dark side of the universe" as a fighting force, Adam and the Celestial Master are enough to hold them off for the time being. Then the true gods will surely descend one after another, and none of them will be able to escape.
However, their sudden appearance drew most of the attention of Fabuti, Medici, and other angels to them.
This allowed " Bound God " and "Grand Duke of Blood" Andrerad to escape.
With the enemy gone, Odis, holding the unique "Abyss" pathway sealed by the Celestial Master, ordered Fabuti, Trensost, Elbera, and Constantine to cleanse the monsters that appeared due to the fall of the "Dark Side of the Universe" and the remaining forces of the "Rose School".
A group of demigods and mid-sequence extraordinary beings were also dispatched to provide support.
As Odis gave the order, Adam and the Celestial Master disappeared from the sky one after the other.
Odis then returned to Azshara with the remaining angels. In a deep mountain dozens of kilometers north of the capital, Odis burrowed underground to further seal the uniqueness of the "Abyss" pathway. He also continuously provided power using the properties of the "ancient artifact" he had just seized to ensure the sealing was foolproof.
To completely resolve the issue of the strong residual mental energy within the sealed artifact, an opportunity is needed, and such an opportunity can only be waited for.
Until an opportunity arises, sealing away these mental remnants is the only method available to deal with them.
This gave Odis a reason to deal with Fabti. As for this ancient god, Odis believed that he should always be at least half a level higher than him in order to achieve power and prestige.
Fabuti is currently at Sequence 1, and Odis is also at Sequence 1. Fortunately, the Celestial Master is at the level of the King of Angels in the real world.
Only after Odis becomes a true god can we consider allowing Fabuti to re-accept the uniqueness of the "Abyss" pathway. Only after merging with the Celestial Master can we consider allowing Fabuti to return to his divine position.
Fabti should understand Odis's thinking; he won't actively demand uniqueness and sequence 1 characteristics, but it would be better to have a legitimate reason.
The seal is completely invisible on the surface of the deep mountains.
However, for safety reasons, the angels still need to take turns watching over them.
Because it is not far from Azshara, Odis can arrive at the scene as soon as possible if an unexpected situation occurs.
After arranging this matter, Odis rode the Vermilion Bird to an uninhabited island and shouted Adam's name several times.
Soon, Adam's voice rang in Odis's ears: "What is it now?"
Odis took out the sealed artifact, covered in tree burls, which he had obtained from killing Shea: "I'm here to deliver your spoils."
Adam, dressed in a simple white robe, appeared before Odis: "This sealed artifact has a certain probability of revealing my location."
You can use it yourself.
Odis was taken aback, thinking: What should we do then?
Adam nodded and said, "I know, I know. The extraordinary and unique characteristics of the 'Demon' pathway will be used by Fabti in the future, and you have already used the characteristics of that 'Ancient Evil Artifact' to seal 'The Primal'."
Odis laughed and said, "You can 'see' such complex psychological activities."
Adam smiled warmly and said, "In this battle, those who can disrupt the 'Primordial's' arrangements along the 'Abyss' pathway..."
For me, that is the greatest trophy.
"I know you still want to talk to me about that 'Knowledge Emperor' characteristic."
"I haven't given you that special ability yet because you haven't actively played the role of 'Knowledge Emperor'."
Odis paused for a moment: "Is playing the role of the 'Knowledge Emperor' really that important?"
"It's very important," Adam said. "Based on my observation, the Angel King with dual Sequence 1 status needs to frequently play the role of Sequence 1."
Only then can you maintain a good state of mind.
Before you obtain the second Sequence 1 'Knowledge Emperor' trait, you need to have some ideas or summaries about how to play the role, or have a comprehensive understanding of the "Hermit" approach.
Odis was taken aback again, feeling that Adam wouldn't lie to him about such a thing. After all, several of his former "colleagues" and subordinates in the Third Age were Angel Kings of the Double Sequence 1, and his observations were very authoritative.
He was stunned because he found it strange that the Celestial Master hadn't told him.
"Some things just can't be explained," Adam said. "Especially things you can't explain to yourself."
"The reason the Celestial Master didn't tell you was so that when you became aware of this matter, you would realize the recent tendency to act rashly."
Odis frowned: "Reckless?"
"Yes," Adam said. "You have now built an organization that is more powerful than a single church of God, and the implementation of 'Extraordinary Technology' is going very smoothly. It is normal for you to become a little arrogant and conceited at this point."
"This is very much in line with human nature, and you don't need to change it. In fact, it's beneficial to your condition."
Odis thought about it for a moment and quickly realized that he had indeed been getting a little carried away lately.
Many of his actions were somewhat radical. For example, his proposal to discuss completely eradicating the Fenneport royal family with the Church of the Earth Mother was rather arrogant, and it's no wonder that the Church of the Earth Mother wouldn't agree to it.
Thinking of this, Odis first thanked Adam: "Thank you."
He then asked, "Won't telling me this so explicitly affect my self-reflection?"
"No," Adam said. "Through our conversation, I've already made your subconscious aware of your mistakes, which has the same effect as your own self-reflection."
Odis remarked with relief, "Fortunately, you are my friend, not my enemy."
Such an enemy is really damn annoying; in the time it takes to have a conversation, they've quietly changed some of my ideas.
Odis then smiled and said, "Thank you for your suggestion. I will go back and seriously consider how to play the role."
Then he simply asked, "You've been keeping that item safe for so long, I should express my gratitude."
"
Adam was silent for a moment before saying, "If you have the chance, kill that giant sea monster and give me its special properties."
"This reward is not time-limited. If you fail to hunt the sea monster, it doesn't matter. It won't affect my decision to give you another 'Knowledge Emperor' trait when the time is right."
Odis immediately realized that the "giant sea monster" Adam spoke of was part of the support of the Outer Gods today.
One of them was a sea monster of angelic level.
So he nodded: "Okay."
After finishing their business, Adam didn't waste any more words and quickly disappeared from Odis's sight.
On the deserted island, only Odis remained, pondering how to play the role of "Knowledge Emperor".
Remenberg Institute.
Bazel, who had just been promoted to Sequence 4 "Fallen Earl" a few days ago, fell into deep thought as he looked at the crime scene in front of him.
This is the third case of a researcher losing control. Regardless of the era, the loss of control by extraordinary individuals is the most common type of extraordinary case.
However, this mostly occurs among wild Beyonders. During last year's "Great Recruitment," almost all the wild Beyonders in Remburg chose to join the official Beyonder organization.
As a result, the wild extraordinary individuals currently in Remnantburg are most likely members of some secret organization, and they must have some purpose in lurking in Remnantburg.
Out-of-control incidents also occur among official Extraordinary Individuals, but they are not very frequent, especially among members of the Remnburg Institute, because they need to grow rapidly, and the President also has a large number of "Secret Seekers" and "General Knowledgeers" Extraordinary Individuals who need to be used.
Therefore, after members of the research institute voluntarily become extraordinary individuals, they are usually informed of the "role modeling method".
In the year or so since the institute was established, most researchers have been in good condition, at least until this year.
There was no incident of researchers going out of control.
However, in January of this year, three researchers had already lost control.
Barzel said to his former third mate, Bivis, who was standing next to him, "This matter is definitely not as simple as just being in a bad state, which led to things getting out of control."
Because these three out-of-control individuals are all low-sequence extraordinary beings, theoretically speaking, out-of-control individuals at this level will not become strangely shaped monsters, but will only exhibit many mutations based on their human nature.
The three out-of-control individuals that Bazel encountered turned into different forms: the first became a ribbonfish-like monster, the second became a worm covered in festering sores, and the third became a jelly-like monster.
Theoretically speaking, this level of mutation only occurs when one reaches the "middle sequence" or even demigod level and goes out of control.
In addition, these three out-of-control individuals have two things in common. First, they had already broken down before they were discovered to be out of control, and when they were found, they had already become dead monsters.
Secondly, strange writing appeared on the walls of the rooms of the out-of-control individuals, writings that Bazel and the others had never seen before.
Bivis asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"When that out-of-control person appeared before, I had already reported the situation here and also reminded Duke Bernadette," Bazel said. "But it seems that His Highness the Duke did not take it seriously."
All the official extraordinary beings in the North Continent of Lenburg are under the control of the angel Bernadette.
The extraordinary beings of the Raging Sea and the Southern Continent are all under the control of the angel Elebella.
Odis had put a lot of thought into this arrangement.
Firstly, the official Extraordinary Individuals in the Northern Continent are quite diverse, including Extraordinary Families, Elves, and a large number of newly recruited wild Extraordinary Individuals.
Ellebella, Constantine, and Trensost are not suitable to serve as extraordinary officers here, and Medici and Hermes have other tasks. Only Bernadette is suitable for this position because there are not many members of the "Elemental Dawn" on the North Continent.
The power of the Raging Sea mainly comes from Odis's old followers and the power of the "Elemental Dawn," as well as the power of the Elven race. The power of the Southern Continent mainly comes from the extraordinary forces of Rosalind and others who rose up from the "Mors's Penitentiary."
Although after the war, Odis focused on building important islands in the Raging Sea such as Midway, expanding his influence in the southern continent, and sending a group of extraordinary forces to the southern continent.
However, Odis deliberately did not transfer any members of the Stiano family, so that Elbera could take over the official Extraordinary organization there.
In fact, being able to send two angels as the highest-ranking officials of the official Extraordinary Ones—and not just in name—is already a top-tier configuration among all countries. The highest-ranking officials of the official Extraordinary Ones in other countries are basically only Sequence 3.
Bazelton paused for a moment and continued, "I'll write to the captain right away, hoping to get his attention."
This is an advantage that Bazeir and his associates possess: they can report directly to higher-ups.
Of course, this would inevitably offend their direct superiors, so they would not easily summon the captain's messenger.
Bivis was well aware of this, so he reminded Bazel, "Is this really necessary?"
Bazel said solemnly, "Three people have already died, but this is by no means the last."
Bivis took a deep breath before nodding and saying, "I will write this letter, in which I will explain your concerns."
The Remburg Institute is not part of the official management system for extraordinary individuals, but rather a direct unit of the Remburg government, which helps Bazel avoid a lot of trouble.
Bazel nodded and said, "Okay."
So the two of them went to Bevis's room, took out some stationery, wrote down the strange cases the research institute was currently dealing with, and slipped a few photos into the envelope.
After summoning the captain's bluebird messenger and delivering the letter, the two chatted and shared their recent experiences.
Bivis has already been promoted to Sequence 5, but researchers don't have very high requirements for Sequence, and he also needs time to continue accumulating merits, so it's unlikely that he will be promoted to Demigod in the next year or two.
As they were talking about the other crew members' experiences, the Bluebird appeared in Bivis's room. A letter floated toward Bazel and Bivis. Just as Bivis was about to reach out to take it, the letter suddenly opened by itself, forming the shape of a mouth.
Then the envelope emitted the captain's voice: "Immediately and completely destroy the writing in the out-of-control room, and gather everyone who has seen that writing."
"Hermes's men have gone there to make everyone forget those words, including the two of you."
After saying those two sentences, the envelope seemed to lose all its power and fell onto the table on its own.
Bazel and Bivis paused for a moment, then immediately got up and rushed to the out-of-control person's room to destroy the eerie writing.
A small town at the foot of the Remnburg Institute.
The research institute is located in a somewhat remote area, but the researchers are well paid, so a small town has sprung up here for the researchers to relax.
This place was originally a village, but it was transformed into a small town in less than six months.
The research institute on the mountain has a gym, sports field, and card room, so the town mainly provides services such as bars, streetwalkers, and casinos.
Odis really wanted to abolish the profession of street prostitutes, but when he became president, he found that although the North Continent was constantly talking about respecting women, in any formal occasion, "ladies" had to be in front of "gentlemen".
However, women's social status, salaries, working conditions, and job opportunities are far inferior to men's. Even when doing similar jobs, their salaries are only about 70% of men's, mainly because there are fewer positions available, and they are primarily concentrated in light industries such as textiles.
Therefore, many women are forced to work as prostitutes to supplement their family income, and the so-called respect for women has become a pretense for showing gentlemanly manners.
Odis knew very well that men and women could not achieve true equality, only "relative equality," but the huge difference in their social status was still difficult for him to accept.
Thinking about this, Odis lamented his "middle-class mindset," because in the society he had previously lived in,
Neither the top-tier nor the bottom-tier groups respect women; only the middle class truly respects women.
But in any case, now that this has happened, Odis can't pretend nothing has happened.
Therefore, he had no intention of abolishing the profession of streetwalker until he provided enough jobs for this woman.
As for gambling, Odis fell into the category of "not understanding but supporting". At first, Odis had almost zero tolerance for this industry. However, when he discovered that government officials occasionally liked to gamble, he realized that this was the "national condition" of the world.
The prevailing ideology in this world is not steady progress, but rather a recurring "take a gamble" mentality.
Therefore, Odis did not abolish the gambling industry, but instead legislated for it and imposed strict regulations to prevent people from going bankrupt due to gambling.
That afternoon, a young man in his twenties, dressed in a plain suit with a black trench coat draped over his shoulders, appeared on the streets of the small town.
He strolled around the streets with prostitutes, checked out the casino, and finally arrived at the town's biggest bar.
At this moment, many people in the bar were talking about the three out-of-control cases that had occurred at the research institute. Of course, since there were ordinary people around, the patrons did not say that they died from the loss of control, but rather that they died from a strange disease.
They weren't entirely clear on the specifics, so there were some rumors circulating that the three researchers lost control while conducting some research, and that this incident had even caused some people to feel uneasy.
At this moment, a middle-aged drinker said, "I know those three young men. I've even talked to them about philosophy—alas, what a pity."
The young man in the black trench coat, who had been listening intently, suddenly asked the middle-aged patron, "Sir,"
You don't seem to be a researcher at the institute, do you?
The middle-aged drinker glanced at the young man and said, "You're not a researcher either! I've never seen you in town before."
"
The young man warmly extended a hand and said, "My name is Poirot, and I'm new to this town."
That's right, this is actually Odis after his appearance has changed. He recently discovered while trying to play the role of the "Knowledge Emperor" that there is no need to overly summarize the rules of playing the role or constantly remind himself that he is seeking opportunities to play the role.
Find time to immerse yourself in ordinary life as an ordinary person and interact with other ordinary people; your spirituality will become more vibrant.
Because at the Sequence 1 level, the names of the potions already encompass certain fields, such as "Emperor of Knowledge".
As long as Odis deals with matters related to knowledge, it falls within the scope of his role.
For example, he once taught a child math for three days, which was acting; another example is when he discovered a cheating case on an exam, which was also acting.
Therefore, for extraordinary individuals at this level, opportunities to play a role are easy to find, but digesting the potion requires a specific opportunity.
Odis's situation is the opposite; the potion has been completely digested, and she is currently acting.
Overall, after starting to act, Odis felt that her condition had improved a lot, and the restlessness she had felt after her promotion had basically disappeared.
So recently, Odis has been going around acting whenever he has time.
Just then, Odis saw Bazel and Bivis's report, so he came to see what was going on.
According to the files that Odis reviewed, the three researchers who went out of control were frequent patrons of this bar, so Odis also came here to see what was so special about this bar.
Upon hearing Odis's words, the middle-aged drinker frowned: "Poirot? Just arrived in town?"
He paused for a moment and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Odis smiled and said, "I'm looking for something."
Then he said, "That's not the point. You're not a researcher here, are you?"
The middle-aged drinker was about to say, "Why should I answer your question?", but instead said, "Yes."
Odis then asked, "So what were you doing in town?"
"I'm here to provide the scientists with goods they need to order, or to run errands." The middle-aged drinker didn't know why, but he unconsciously answered the young man's question honestly.
Odis gave the middle-aged drinker a careful look, then smiled and said, "Take me to your place."
The middle-aged drinker was about to refuse, but he had already stood up and started walking out.
Odis followed and soon arrived at a house in the town where middle-aged drinkers usually stayed.
The curtains in the house were drawn, and all the furnishings were in a mess. On the walls were words that looked very strange, and even Odis felt alarm bells ringing in her heart!
Or rather, only those at the angelic level can perceive how dangerous these words are; those below the angelic level simply wouldn't care.
Odis said somewhat helplessly, "I originally wanted to be a great detective, but my talent is just too overwhelming."
The moment he entered the bar, his spiritual senses detected something was off about the middle-aged man.
As it turned out, this guy was indeed acting strangely!
Odis couldn't help but sigh: If Hercule Poirot, the great detective who was on par with Sherlock Holmes, had such keen intuition as I have...
I believe that any case can be solved more easily than those in the book.
