After the Angel Amon's clone was jointly defeated by Hobert and the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven," the "Worms of Time" that He had previously parasitized in insects, animals, and even microorganisms all ended their "parasitic" state one after another, stiffly appearing in the corners.
"Great Sage" opened its mouth and sucked all the "Worms of Time" over, and then it came to Hobert's front.
Hobert glanced at Osment and Rafter, who was still lie lying on the ground. The dagger in his hand turned into a blue greatsword with a sulfurous aura once again.
Then, Hobert injected "Power of Order" into the greatsword, causing it to emit a black light.
At this moment, his thought was to silence them, to kill these two people who had met with the Angel Amon's clone.
But suddenly, Hobert seemed to wake up and thought: The idea that Amon's clone stole from me didn't actually reveal too much information. They only knew that Trunsoest had influenced my fate. As for the "that place" that Amon mentioned later, how would they know which place it was?
Hobert put away "1-105": Just knowing this is not enough to kill them to silence them! Besides, given their state at the time, they might not have been able to hear the Angel Amon's words clearly. The only thing to pay attention to is to do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath, because since the "Creator" appeared, "Hobert" has been standing there without moving, but this is easy to cover up.
After reason once again defeated the bloodlust, Hobert returned to the "Nation of Disorder" and retrieved the power of the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven," who was preparing to find Beverly and Raymond to fight.
This guy also knew who was strong and who was weak. After sensing the King of Angels' position of the "Creator," he decided to find trouble with the two angels who were not in good condition.
After retrieving the power of the "Bull Devil Monarch" and the "Great Sage," the "Great Sage" in front of Hobert's main body disappeared, and the "Worms of Time" that had been sucked into its belly were all piled up in front of Hobert.
Having no time to stay in the "Nation of Disorder," Hobert immediately returned to the real world, pretendingly saying: "Praise the Creator!"
Just now, he had been posing in a praying posture, looking like he and Rafter had been praying all along, establishing enough connection with the "Creator" so that the "Creator" could continuously transmit energy over.
This point can stand scrutiny. It's like the "Son of God" Suah. Each time its power needs an accurate coordinate. Sacrifice and constant prayer are almost standard for the arrival of evil gods.
Although the state of the "Creator" must be better than that of the "Son of God," and it doesn't need to pray constantly to descend power, but if Hobert doesn't say it, who would know?
Hobert opened his eyes and saw Osment in the center of the courtyard over there, kneeling on the ground, shivering.
When the "Creator" had the intention to kill, Osment's spirituality keenly felt it, but the suppression of the same pathway made him feel his own powerlessness, leaving only kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy and tremble.
Hobert said to Rafter, who also felt the threat: "The great 'Creator' has already left. You can stop praying and open your eyes."
Only then did Rafter raise his head and look around. Most of the previous battle was a contest at the level of Beyonder abilities, and the surrounding buildings were not damaged much.
He patted the dust on his body: "Thank you for the protection of the 'Favored' just now."
Of course, Rafter felt the great pressure from the surroundings just now, but Hobert had been maintaining the black barrier around him while entering the "Nation of Disorder," so Rafter, who was closer to the core of the battlefield at Hobert's feet, did not receive any damage.
Of course, he also knew why Hobert would let him close his eyes, because opening his eyes would easily see the complete or incomplete state of mythical creatures, and he would lose control because of it.
Hobert put away the "Worms of Time" on the ground, and then said to Osment: "It seems that the battle that took place in Valentine's courtyard has also ended. Now the other people in the Tony Manor or the 'Worms of Time' in their bodies should all be dead. Go and retrieve them."
"Yes, yes, yes." Osment felt that it was a matter of course for him to obey Hobert's orders.
… …
In the courtyard where Valentine had lived before, because Beverly and Raymond were both good at close combat, the surroundings had basically turned into ruins.
Beverly glanced at the few "Worms of Time" on the ground. In the middle of them was also an Beyonder characteristic of the "War Bishop," which should be the deceased Valentine. Putting away this Beyonder characteristic, He said to Raymond: "Did you feel the ultimate majesty just now, and see the figure wearing black armor?"
"I saw it, and I felt it." Raymond said: "I remember Solomon had a similar feeling, and there was similar black armor."
He asked: "Is the 'Black Emperor' pathway going to have a new True God?"
Beverly did not answer this question, but asked: "Do you still remember Antigonus?"
"I remember. He looks very young, but gives people a very vicissitudinous feeling."
"I witnessed Antigonus become a King of Angels." Beverly reached out and stroked the thick Tree of Order: "After you grew up, His condition was not very good, and I was not very familiar with Him.
"Before His condition became not very good, I often went to Him for divination, and vaguely learned that our father, the great Blood Emperor, would fall, and the Tudor family would leave the sight of the world for a long time.
"Until the appearance of the new 'Black Emperor,' the Tudor family took this opportunity to become great again."
Raymond immediately asked: "The young man with the mask you mentioned just now, is he the subordinate of that King of Angels just now?"
"Perhaps not just a subordinate, I can feel that his relationship with the 'Creator' is very close." Beverly looked at her brother and said: "This will be the key for us to contact the 'Creator.' We must maintain a good relationship between Tony Manor and him."
Raymond nodded: "I will."
"In addition, he may also be our hope for restoring our state." Beverly said: "Not this kind of temporary recovery, but a complete recovery.
"When Antigonus divined for me, he also drew a circle-like pattern and told me that if I encountered danger, finding this circle-like thing would save me.
"Although reality deviates from this divination, that circle-like thing must be the key! I once asked Antigonus, is that a donut?"
Raymond twitched the corner of his mouth. He knew that his sister liked to eat donuts the most, but according to common sense, it shouldn't be a donut, right?
If it is a donut, what kind of donut is it? It is unlikely that even the donut made by the Earth Mother herself would have such an effect, right?
However, the suppression from the bloodline made him dare not say anything, and could only listen quietly from the side.
Fortunately, Beverly was not so influenced by donuts that she lost her mind: "Antigonus replied that he couldn't see clearly.
"For the past few hundred years, I have been looking for this circle. My spirituality tells me that through Hobert, I should also be able to obtain that key thing."
Raymond nodded: "I understand, I will guide Tony Manor to lean towards Hobert as much as possible."
Beverly "um"ed: "Before that, we must continue to lie low."
For the orthodox churches, for "remnants" like the Tudor family, having a demigod-level leader, they will only turn a blind eye, and even establishing a certain force outside the Northern Continent is nothing.
But if they were to learn that there are still angels in poor condition, they would definitely launch a new round of encirclement and suppression.
As for now, in a hidden state, the Evernight Goddess probably already knows the existence of their siblings. Beverly is not worried about this point. First of all, the "Creator" is more likely to attract the attention of the Evernight Goddess. Secondly, Beverly has discovered that as long as they do not pose a threat to the church, the current Seven Gods seem to not care much about these things.
Beverly took advantage of her good condition to give her brother a few more instructions, but the two people's spirituality felt something, and they both looked at the courtyard that had already turned into ruins.
"Are you two descendants of Tudor?" At this time, Hobert walked quickly and put all the seized "Worms of Time" on the ground.
Beverly nodded: "That's right."
Hobert glanced at the messenger, thinking, 'No wonder Amon is willing to have an "in-depth exchange" with her. The messenger looks like a delinquent girl, which might be right up Amon's alley.'
While his mind wandered, he asked, "Has the Blood Emperor Tudor found any clues about the 'Uncertain Mist'?"
"To my knowledge, they have found some," Raymond replied to Hobert. "The 'Uncertain Mist' has bestowed its power upon Solomon and Trunsoest.
"We speculate that some of Trunsoest's actions may have been influenced by the 'Uncertain Mist'."
Beverly didn't interrupt, as this information wasn't clear when she died.
"So, with our help, Tamara obtained the clues about the 'Uncertain Mist' left behind by Solomon," Raymond said, sharing the information without reservation.
"According to our observations, the 'Uncertain Mist' is trying to influence Beyonders of the 'Black Emperor' and 'Justiciar' pathways. Also, it's looking for a lamp, supposedly to destroy it completely."
Hobert simply nodded slowly. His spirituality told him that he knew what the lamp represented, but he had left the relevant memories in the 'Nation of Disorder'.
Then, he felt discomfort in his spirit body, believing that the detailed information about the 'Uncertain Mist' was contaminating him, so he changed the subject: "Does Tamara know that you are using her for experiments?"
Actually, Hobert, now under the protection of the 'Crystal of Order,' could briefly discuss the Outer Deities, as long as he quickly sealed those memories to avoid significant risks.
Hobert didn't expect that Tamara, who had defected to the Tudor Empire, hadn't been treated well at all but was instead being used as a pawn.
"She knows, and she is willing to gain power through the 'Uncertain Mist' and use it to take revenge," Raymond further explained.
"Originally, the Tamara family had a 'Hand of Order,' but the Six Gods, in order to support Trunsoest, seized the characteristic of the 'Hand of Order'.
"Tamara hates the Six Gods and Trunsoest."
Hobert nodded slightly, not expecting such a hidden history, but on second thought, it made sense.
Both the Augustus family and the Castiya family were loyal to Trunsoest. As Sequence 2 of the same pathway, there was no reason for the Tamara family not to be loyal to Trunsoest!
However, the fact that the Tamara family supported the Tudor Empire was problematic in itself.
Hobert recalled the interrogation of the undead in '1-107.' Perhaps his spirit body was incomplete and lacked the relevant memories, only remembering that Tamara betrayed Trunsoest because of the clues about the 'Uncertain Mist'.
Or perhaps the Six Gods or Trunsoest used some ability to make Tamara "keep secrets."
After all, this wasn't a glorious matter. Not completely destroying the Tamara family was already the mercy of the Six Gods and the Night Emperor.
Of course, it was most likely not mercy. Perhaps the 'Hand of Order' of the Tamara family, seeing that his death was inevitable, simply offered his characteristic in exchange for the temporary safety of the Tamara family.
When the time was right, Tamara immediately fled this dangerous camp.
For a moment, Hobert made many guesses. At this time, Osment came over with the 'Worms of Time' he had collected, respectfully placing them in front of the group.
Hobert smiled and said, "Thank you for your answer."
Putting the 'Worms of Time' together, they had captured 68 of them this time! Far exceeding their expectations.
However, the danger of this hunt also far exceeded their previous expectations.
At least they had never expected that two Angel-level Amon avatars would appear. Fortunately, the 'Creator' intervened, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"As a Blessed of the 'Creator,' who contributed the most this time, may I distribute the spoils?"
Neither of the two Angels present had any objections, and the two demigods had even less to say.
"First, I will take out 8 to give to the existence that provided the hidden space." Although Hobert had only promised the Evernight Goddess 6 'Worms of Time,' since the harvest far exceeded expectations, it was better to be generous and give two more.
Hobert then said to Beverly, "Also, I will give each of you 8, and give Osment 2 for his performance in the battle.
"The rest will belong to the 'Creator' and our Angels and Saints who participated in this battle. What do you think?"
Beverly certainly had no problem. After all, this time, the 'Creator' and the Angels loyal to Him had single-handedly taken down an Angel-level clone of Amon, as well as most of the demigod-level avatars.
After distributing the spoils, Hobert instructed Osment, "These 'Worms of Time' are materials for high-level talismans, and their Beyonder characteristics can also be obtained by crushing them or similar methods.
"But before that, they must be properly kept to prevent their Beyonder characteristics from returning to the main body."
Osment was slightly stunned and nodded seriously.
Raymond suddenly said to Osment, "Come with me."
The two went behind the 'Tree of Order,' as if they had some confidential matter to discuss. After a while, Osment returned with Raymond, looking solemn.
Beverly smiled and said, "Then this hunt concludes with our victory. Well, I should release the 'Tree of Order' state."
She could feel that the 'Tree of Order' could last for a few more minutes. Since Hobert didn't ask for it, she would honestly take it into the coffin.
Beverly returned to the coffin first. After releasing the 'Tree of Order' state, the coffin lid closed, and the messenger girl returned to her original appearance.
Raymond's body also burst into flames again, turning back into the original fire man.
Hobert stretched out his hand towards the air. The huge flower in the air closed and turned into the shape of a fruit, falling into Hobert's palm.
This strengthened Sealed Artifact could still be used for a few more minutes.
Under everyone's gaze, the Tony Manor in the hidden space gradually overlapped with the manor in the real world. Finally, the two Tony Manors merged into one.
Raymond nodded slightly to Hobert and then burrowed back into the underground of Tony Manor.
The messenger also disappeared into the void.
Hobert and the others saw the crescent moon in the sky again and heard the sound of the waves in the distance, and suddenly felt that the encounter just now was like a dream.
Osment was the first to react and said to Hobert, "Mr. Jeffrey, Tony Manor owes you a favor. Feel free to ask for anything."
Raymond had called him behind the 'Tree of Order' just now to tell him the importance of this masked young man.
Hobert didn't immediately answer Osment's question but asked Rafter behind him, "What do you want?"
Hobert had only realized just now that although this Rafter looked like a gambler, he basically sent him a fortune every time he contacted him.
Tonight's operation was indeed a huge risk for Hobert, but he also gained the favor of the Tony family and 42 'Worms of Time'.
He didn't really have to share the spoils with 'Bull Devil Monarch' and the others. All 42 'Worms of Time' were his. It could be said that he had achieved 'Worm of Time' freedom in one go.
So, Blessed like Rafter still needed to be carefully cultivated.
Seeing that Rafter was a little hesitant, Hobert added, "If you don't want to continue staying in Tony Manor, I can arrange for you to go to the Southern Continent or the Feysac Kingdom. There are many Blessed of the 'Creator' there."
Seeing this, Osment quickly said, "I can arrange for this Mr. Rafter to work in the external communication department of Tony Manor, using bribes to the Governor-General's Office and Backlund to digest the potion.
"After he advances, he can also be arranged to manage a piece of land in the manor to continue to digest the potion."
Rafter was slightly stunned. The conditions offered by the other party were exactly what he needed.
So, he said to Hobert, "Thank you for the favor of the 'Favored One.' I have been in Tony Manor for nearly three months and have developed a good impression of this place. I will continue to stay here."
Hobert nodded: "I respect your choice."
This was also what he most wanted to see, letting Rafter act as the liaison between the "Creator's" blessed and Tony Manor.
Then Hobert simply said to Osment in a half-commanding tone: "You can't use that Sealed Artifact from the 'Marauder' pathway casually anymore, otherwise it might attract Amon's avatar."
Although it was unknown how long Tony Manor had been using that Sealed Artifact without any problems, these things, when used for too long, would sooner or later attract Amon's avatar.
This was almost inevitable, just a matter of time.
Hobert was also a little strange, why the angels of Tony Manor hadn't reminded them of this.
What he didn't know was that Raymond's condition was actually very poor, and most of the time he couldn't communicate normally. He only felt Beverly's aura tonight, and his condition was briefly better.
Although Osment had encountered Amon's avatars before, it was the first time he had encountered an angel-level Amon avatar.
This was like a paradox, if he had encountered Amon's angel-level avatar before this, he might not be alive now.
So Osment and others didn't have the concept of guarding against Amon's avatar, which ultimately led to this disaster.
Osment quickly said, "We will definitely not use it randomly again in the future, if you need that Sealed Artifact..."
Hobert waved his hand: "I don't mean that."
One "1-101" was enough, too many Sequence 1 Sealed Artifacts of this pathway would easily be targeted by Amon.
Hobert smiled politely and said, "Well then, the matter has been resolved, I'll take my leave!"
"Please wait!" Osment said: "Mr. Jeffrey, under the inducement of Amon's avatar, many young people in our family have begun to believe in evil gods, and have already received the grace of the evil gods through sacrifices, what should we do?"
Before, Amon's avatar, under the guise of Valentine's destiny, talked to Osment about this matter, saying that the doomsday was coming, and the Tony family needed to find a god to rely on, even if it was an evil god, it could give Tony Manor a support in the doomsday.
Osment believed it to be true, and also provided many conveniences for the sacrifices of the young people in the family.
Now he knew he had been fooled, but what about those young people in the family? Those were all elites of Tony Manor!
Hobert sighed, Amon's avatars' "deceptions" were all very clever lies, the doomsday was indeed coming soon, and it was indeed necessary to get the protection of the gods at that time.
But that was to let the gods protect them, to avoid being invaded by Outer Gods, not to throw themselves into the embrace of Outer Gods.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Are you willing to let them convert to the 'Creator'?"
In that case, the relationship between the "Creator" and Tony Manor would be even closer.
Osment immediately said: "Of course, we couldn't ask for more!"
"However, before that, I need to first examine their condition." Hobert said: "Whether they can be accepted in the end depends on the will of the 'Creator'."
Then he asked Osment: "What grace did the evil god give them?"
"The blessing gave them some Beyonder abilities."
"Beyonder abilities?" Hobert asked again: "Briefly obtaining some abilities?"
"No." Osment looked a little puzzled: "It's obtaining many self-contained Beyonder abilities without taking potions."
Hobert pondered for a moment before asking: "Specifically, what method was used to obtain the abilities?"
"By sacrificing spiritual materials to the evil god, after establishing a stable connection with the evil god, one can pray to the evil god for power," Osment said:
"However, not all prayers can be successful, we have done some experiments, it seems to be purely a probability problem, and has nothing to do with Sequence level or pathway."
Before, the Tony family really thought this was a way to gain power, so they did a lot of experiments.
This reminded Hobert of the crown on Longtail Island ten years ago. If the "Mountain God" was really an angel, it seemed that he gave the native power through the process of grace.
There was also the Sequence 6 "Wind Blessed" of the "Sailor" pathway. If one could obtain the grace of the Lord of Storms, they would be able to master more Beyonder abilities.
Wasn't the "Concealment Fruit" in Hobert's hand a kind of blessing?
But the problem was that these powers were temporary, or phased, not Beyonder abilities that could be used for a long time.
Hobert asked again: "What is the probability of losing control after the ritual is completed?"
"There has been no sign of losing control so far."
Hobert opened his mouth in surprise: Obtaining power from the Outer Gods without losing control! This was a bit unbelievable.
"There is also a very important piece of information." Osment said: "We have done experiments with the 'Hunter', 'Lawyer', and 'Arbiter' pathways, and all can obtain the same grace from the evil god, and there is no sign of any conflict with the Beyonder characteristics in their bodies."
Hobert frowned: This was even stranger!
Osment continued: "The only consequence may be that the recipients' temperaments have changed somewhat, but not in the direction of madness, and it has not caused too much impact."
Hobert slowly nodded: "Bring them to see me."
Osment immediately made arrangements. He personally accompanied Hobert to the front yard, to the courtyard that had not been damaged by the battle, and ordered his subordinates to organize the followers of the "Uncertain Mist".
It had to be said that this sudden attack by Amon's avatars caused many Beyonders below demigod level in Tony Manor to be killed by their own people, lost control due to the influence of the angel-level battle, or turned into lunatics.
The followers of the "Uncertain Mist" suffered almost no losses.
Of course, this was inseparable from the fact that Amon's avatars regarded them as research objects.
About twenty young people came to a spacious living room.
Among the young people, Zert, the leader, and another Sequence 5, saw a person wearing a black crystal mask sitting on the inner side of the living room.
The material of the mask, those black crystals looked very attractive, as if they contained infinite power.
On the side of the masked man was the tutor Rafter, who stood there like the masked man's servant.
Hobert carefully looked at the twenty or so young people in front of him. They looked energetic, without any signs of madness or loss of control.
"I am a friend of Mr. Osment." Hobert introduced himself: "I came to help deal with the enemies who attacked tonight.
"I heard that you performed very well tonight. For this reason, I have been invited to assess your condition, which is considered one of the rewards for you."
Everyone did not doubt Hobert's words. They also felt the angel-level battle before. Tony Manor could not have dealt with the battle tonight independently.
Judging from Mr. Osment's respect for this masked man, it was not difficult to guess that he should have played a huge role in the battle tonight.
"First, show me your abilities." Hobert said: "I will assess whether the state of your abilities is stable."
Zert asked: "How should we show them?"
"Use your abilities on me!" Hobert said: "With all your strength! Start with you first."
"Yes." Zert took a deep breath, stretched out his hand towards Hobert, and used: "Instigation! Greatness! Charm!" one after another.
The ability of "Instigation" made Hobert feel that Rafter was very hateful, and he wanted to kick him to death, but Hobert easily "distorted" his thoughts.
The ability of "Greatness" made Hobert feel that his body uncontrollably wanted to submit to the other party. His consciousness was clear, but his body was out of control.
However, the body's reaction was also easily "distorted" by Hobert.
The third ability, "Charm," made Hobert feel that he was willing to obey any instructions from Zert next, and it was resolved by him using the ability of "Exploitation" to end this state in advance.
In the end, Hobert summarized in his heart: It was probably at the Sequence 5 level, a bit like the abilities of the "Lawyer" and "Arbiter" pathways, but there were obvious differences, giving people a feeling of being adjacent to these two pathways.
Hobert asked: "How are your other abilities? Do you feel they are still stable?"
"As stable as my Beyonder abilities." Zert introduced without any precautions: "When entering the 'Politician' state, my intelligence will be greatly enhanced, while the intelligence of people around me will be correspondingly weakened.
"When I enter the 'Bureaucrat' state, I can make the target's logic more complex, and they like to come up with ideas that have nothing to do with important matters.
"In this state, the probability of my traps succeeding will be greater. Even if I haven't set up traps in advance, I can still slow down the reactions of the surrounding enemies."
Hobert nodded pretentiously: "It can be seen that you are using your abilities very well."
Then he asked as if inadvertently: "'Politician' and 'Bureaucrat'?"
"These are the names given by the great 'Uncertain Mist' to different levels." Zert explained: "'Politician' is equivalent to the Sequence 9 ability, but the 'Politician State' will also have corresponding improvements after obtaining higher-level Boons.
"In order to facilitate distinction, we call the obtained Boon the 'Politician Pathway'."
Hobert asked: "You have already obtained five levels of Boons, right?"
"Yes."
"What are the names of these five levels of Boons?"
Zert replied: "Politician, Bureaucrat, Dignitary, Orator, Diplomat."
Hobert nodded and smiled: "Your condition is very good, next."
"Instigation! Greatness!"
After once again "twisting" the influence of these two abilities, Hobert asked: "Why did you only use two abilities?"
This Sequence 5 said: "About a week ago, Mr. Valentine did a similar test, but strangely, after that test, I couldn't use the 'Charm' ability!"
Hobert was slightly stunned. Valentine a week ago should have been Amon's angel-level avatar. Could it be that He did something to this blessed person?
So he said: "You come over."
The blessed person came in front of Hobert. Hobert lowered his head as if he was devoutly whispering something. In fact, he entered the "Nation of Disorder" and carefully looked at the other person with "True Sight", but he didn't see anything wrong with him.
Hobert frowned slightly. Under "True Sight", even if the other party's fate was tampered with, he could still see some clues, but apart from a thin circle of white mist surrounding his body, there was nothing unusual.
Because he was in the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert's memories of both the Outer Deities and Amon were complete in his mind.
This gave him a bold guess: Could it be that the 'Charm' ability of this Tony family member was stolen by Amon's avatar?
The power of the Outer God's Boon is different from Beyonder Power. Beyonder Power is based on Beyonder characteristics, so the ability of the 'Marauder' pathway can only steal an ability for a period of time, and then it has to be 'returned'.
This is because the Beyonder characteristics are still on the Beyonder who had their ability stolen, which destined his ability to only be stolen temporarily.
The power of the Boon, however, is not based on Beyonder characteristics. Once these powers are stolen, they are gone!
If this is really the case, Hobert estimates: This stealing process should be very complicated, and may require 'deceiving' the Outer Deities' position to a certain extent! After all, these powers are Boons from the Outer Deities, and it is impossible for anyone to steal them. Therefore, Amon's avatar only stole one ability.
The more Hobert thought about it, the more he felt that this should be the case. Amon's avatar himself said that one of his important purposes in coming to Tony Manor was to use the Tudor family members to observe the state of the "Uncertain Mist".
Such observation must involve some research, and perhaps one of his research purposes is to try whether he can steal the power of the Boon.
After figuring this out, Hobert took another look with "True Sight". Suddenly, he realized with his spirituality: After becoming an angel, I can take these Boons back to the "Nation of Disorder"!
After thinking about it carefully, Hobert felt that this was normal. After all, this was the Boon of the "Uncertain Mist", and part of the composition of the "Uncertain Mist" was the source material "Nation of Disorder" in the cosmos.
It was normal for him to be able to take back these Boons for the "Uncertain Mist", but this recovery was limited. He could only recover the Boons from the "Politician" to the "Diplomat" level, and it would not work any higher.
There was no time to think about it in detail at this time, so Hobert quickly returned to the real world and said to Sequence 5 in front of him: "Your condition is also normal, but you can no longer use the 'Charm' ability."
The other party was slightly stunned: "Why is that?"
Then he asked: "Are you also a believer of the great 'Uncertain Mist'? I just felt a gaze similar to the 'Uncertain Mist'."
Hobert thought to himself: Of course it's similar.
But he smiled and said: "I am the favored of the great 'Creator', but the relationship between the two of them cannot be told to you for the time being."
As a "Favored", when you need to be unfathomable, of course you have to show it.
Hobert's appearance of being in control of everything really frightened everyone in the living room. Osmund also believed that this "Favored" had received instructions from the "Creator" through the prayer just now, and now he knew everything about the "Uncertain Mist".
"As for why you can no longer use the 'Charm' ability, it was caused by the attackers tonight." Hobert found the most trustworthy reason to prevaricate: "You should have noticed that the enemy had already sneaked into the manor a long time ago."
The blessed ones had basically experienced the battle caused by Amon's avatar, and they deeply believed Hobert's lies.
Next, Hobert patiently asked them to show their abilities one by one. After this process was over, Hobert asked again: "Have you heard any whispers in your ears?"
Everyone answered almost at the same time: "No."
Hobert asked again: "Has anyone felt any changes in their emotions? For example, being easily angry, or being easily sad."
"No!"
This is strange!
Hobert smiled helplessly. Why didn't obtaining the Outer God's Boon show any signs of loss of control? When did the Outer God become so kind and amiable?
He pondered for a while and asked again: "What are your opinions on the colonial strategy of Loen?"
This was to examine their worldviews.
"Loen people are all fools!" Zert suddenly became indignant: "They didn't organize the power of the Rorsted Archipelago at all!"
Another blessed person also said: "Organizing the natives of the entire Rorsted Archipelago completely has the ability to launch a world war."
The emotions of the other blessed people seemed to have suddenly found an outlet, and they began to express their opinions: "We should seize the power of the Governor's Office and form a large-scale navy and army!"
"That's right, we should take this powerful army and conquer the entire Southern Continent!"
"Then the Northern Continent, let the four countries of the Northern Continent crawl at our feet."
"..."
Hobert felt a lot more relieved when he saw their impassioned speeches: While obtaining this power, they are very enthusiastic about conquering and ruling more territories.
Note: The Boon system was not announced when the settings for this book were being made, so there were no settings in this regard at the beginning.
At that time, the author Jun was also preparing for secondary creation. The reason why the Outer Deities of the Stars did not lose their position may be because each pathway actually has four Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. The Outer Deities retained multiple Sequence 1 of the corresponding pathway to maintain their position.
The Boon system has solved this problem.
Since there was no such setting at the beginning, let the protagonist not know the Boon system before this, otherwise it would be quite abrupt to suddenly mention the Boon system now.
