Along with the departure of the two demigod Extraordinary characteristics, several mid-sequence Extraordinary characteristics also left.
"Two Faceless, one Wind Blessed, one Scholar."
The black curtain swayed like a fluttering, slender ghost in mid-air, and the 'stars' overhead flickered with faint light. Tang found a place to sit down and opened the 'Craftsman' module.
The upgrade of the Judgment pathway's demigod-level mystical item was not yet finished, and the mutated version of 'A Moment of Luck' also needed to be strengthened.
Since eating a demigod-level Extraordinary characteristic, the 'Craftsman' module could provide three simultaneously working 'boilers,' and there was one slot left. Tang thought about it and decided to try his idea first.
"The remaining Faceless Extraordinary characteristics can be made into two Extraordinary items similar to masks."
One for Owen, one for his father.
After making up his mind, Tang looked at the Black Knight's Extraordinary characteristics in the System storage.
"Black Knight, Noiseless Hunter, Manipulator, and then the mid-sequence Wind Blessed and Scholar."
Three demigod-level Extraordinary characteristics, two Sequence Six Extraordinary characteristics.
These corresponded to the Hanged Man, Sun, Dreamer, Tyrant, and White Tower pathways.
These were five completely adjacent pathways, also known as the omniscient and omnipotent five pathways.
Extraordinary characteristics and Extraordinary characteristics could fuse with each other, even if they were not adjacent pathways, just like 'A Moment of Luck.' Monster and Seer were not adjacent pathways, but the resulting Sealed Artifact was quite distorted.
"The law of Extraordinary characteristic aggregation, emm, actually after reaching high sequences, even between non-adjacent pathways, there should be a certain aggregation effect, after all, they all originate from..."
And what would happen if the Extraordinary characteristics of the five adjacent omniscient and omnipotent pathways were fused together, he wasn't quite sure.
"Could it revive the Ancient Sun God? Or make that audience behind the scenes notice this? Or the True Creator of the Land Abandoned by God? After all, this should be equivalent to a simplified version of the 'Ancient Sun God,' right?"
"However, no matter which side it is, the Never-Ending Theater blocks the spirit world, and I'm separated by a layer of the System. Even if the will of the Ancient Sun God revives, it should just be a simple change in some 'spiritual imprints' inherent in the Extraordinary characteristics. The System can block it... you can block it, right?"
System: '...'
The System didn't want to talk, the System just wanted to watch the host court death.
'Fuse the Extraordinary characteristics of [Black Knight], [Noiseless Hunter], [Manipulator], [Wind Blessed], [Scholar]?'
'Warning: Due to the aggregation of Extraordinary characteristics from multiple pathways, the resulting Extraordinary item will undergo unpredictable mutations!'
'Starting fusion...'
'Purifying the spiritual imprints remaining in the Extraordinary characteristics...'
'Remaining time: 43:59:57.'
A few quiet days passed.
Tingen was very peaceful. It seemed that the many people who had disappeared before hadn't brought too much danger to this newborn city. But Tang also noticed that many more people had recently appeared in the nearby town.
"Should be people from the Church."
They were investigating the "0" level Sealed Artifact, and perhaps also incidentally investigating the mid-sequence Extraordinary individual of the Abyss pathway.
His father seemed to have already revealed the news to the Church. Now he and Owen were quietly staying in the castle, with no intention of going out.
Of course, it wasn't as if no Extraordinary individuals had come to their door. As the master of this territory, it wasn't uncommon for the Ramd family to be investigated.
This investigation not only involved asking if they had recently discovered any strange people, but also a series of methods such as divination and entering dreams through nightmares were secretly taking effect.
However, divination was interfered with by high-sequence powers, and the path of entering dreams was even vetoed by the Death Magistrate, so that dreamers who might reveal problems were either hinted at or kept a certain level of sobriety, so as not to talk nonsense.
For an Angel of the Death pathway, he was equally aware of the various methods of adjacent pathways and could take various precautions accordingly.
After sending away a nightmare, the surrounding castle hall scene reorganized into countless strings of symbols, forming a new dream. Tang sighed at this, silently complaining to the System in his dream, "If they were allowed to dream of an Extraordinary individual who was very hostile to them, they probably wouldn't even know how they died."
Entering dreams at will was not a good habit. If it were his former father, perhaps the moment that nightmare entered the dream, his body would have decayed and withered, dying instantly.
"Of course, it's also possible that the Church has already deployed certain high-sequence Extraordinary individuals nearby. If anything unexpected happens, the assumption that 'the Ramd family is highly suspicious' will be established."
The Never-Ending Theater had the power of the Night pathway, and now it had been strengthened by the System. Without an Angel of the Night pathway coming, it wouldn't be easily found. Tang wasn't too worried about this.
"After these few days of screening, the suspicion of this area should be ruled out."
Extraordinary methods were not uncommon in the Fourth Epoch when the gods walked the earth. Even many knights who obtained noble titles through war were Extraordinary individuals.
However, their family intentionally hid their Extraordinary nature—the Death pathway and the Seer pathway were both on the blacklist of the Night Church. Tang didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble and simply pretended to be an ordinary person.
After the nightmare made one aboveboard visit, another dream entry should be enough to confirm that they had no problems.
Of course, this screening might not be just once, and Sealed Artifacts might also be involved in the investigation, but they at this level shouldn't be able to use too high-level Sealed Artifacts, and they would also be interfered with by his father in advance.
"Owen, if you're going to participate in the Ruen conscription, it's best to make yourself look less like an Extraordinary individual."
"Although I know you mean well, I'm not an idiot." Owen glanced sideways at his younger brother. "I can pretend to have accidentally obtained Extraordinary power later and become an Extraordinary individual."
This kind of thing was not uncommon. For Owen, it was at most a matter of drinking more potions. The Sequence Nine potion wouldn't take too long to digest.
Who told you to look like the kind of person who wouldn't use their brain... Tang muttered a few words softly in his heart, then looked up again in a certain direction.
"Father has been locking himself in the study for longer and longer."
Was the time approaching, so preparations had to be made?
Tang thought for a moment and opened the System to look around.
He remembered something he had obtained before that he hadn't studied yet.
The new module, 'Bionic Marionette.'
'Still troubled by the lack of agility of your marionettes? Still worried about the marionettes being too far away to control? Do you also feel regret for having to abandon old marionettes because you obtained new ones? The brand-new bionic marionette meets all the needs of the Master of Marionettes...'
This was like WIFI and data. After the marionette was equipped with this module, it was equivalent to having its own antenna. As long as the spirit world, which served as the base station for sending and receiving signals, was not shielded, theoretically he could control the marionette even across hemispheres.
