As Anthony Stevenson's words echoed through Remembrance Square and spread elsewhere, the people of Rune who participated in the Sleeping Mass were both moved and saddened, warm and depressed.

In different squares, different choirs recited the Psalms, and the ethereal and holy voice seemed to resound in the depths of everyone's heart:

"The crimson full moon rises and reflects the earth,

"All sank into sweet dreams, dreaming of themselves,

"When you dream of your parents, your wife, and your children, you will ...... forever" (Note 1)

Unconsciously, everyone felt that their spirit had been baptized, and their spirituality was naturally expressed.

They seem to have really entered a dream, wandering in a quiet darkness.

Here are their children, their parents, their wives, their husbands, their friends, these dead no more suffering, no more pain, serene expressions, soft expressions.

"We'll look up at that night sky,

Speak His name tenderly:

"'Goddess of the Night!'

“...... If He hears, He will answer,

"A pure smile will surely be revealed to the deceased:

"'Come, rest, sleep in peace, my children!'" (Note 2)

Those who wandered through the dream again swelled with intense sadness, as if they understood that they really had to say goodbye.

They recalled all the beautiful episodes of the past, recalled the scene of the family sitting around the table enjoying the food and laughing, recalled the person who looked at them warmly, recalled the pain that saw them hurt, heard that they could tear their souls apart, recalled the clouds and parting brought by this war.

They slept in this quiet kingdom and had no more troubles, but the survivors had to be tormented day and night, emaciated and withered.

A tear slid down, another tear slid down, and the people at the remnant Mass in the Memorial Square could no longer suppress their inner emotions and silently and unreservedly vented their accumulated pain.

A great sadness pervaded, intertwined in the choir's chanting, as if it had taken on a substantial form.

"Cross your hands,

"On your chest,

"Say that wordless prayer,

And cry out with your heart:

"The only place to go is peace!" (Note 3)

The people who wept silently with their eyes closed subconsciously followed the content of the Psalms, made similar actions, and then, infecting each other, shouted in their hearts:

"The only destination is stability!"

The grief reached its extreme, and more than 10,000 hearts in the Memorial Day Square resonated strongly.

At this moment, Audrey opened her eyes, bent down, and took out a bottle of potion from the leather pouch that Susie the golden retriever was carrying.

The potion floated with countless fragments of light, like the embodiment of the sea of the collective subconscious.

Audrey did not hesitate, and in such a scene, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank the liquid inside in one gulp.

Unlike in the past, where you could experience potions sliding through her throat and into her stomach pouch, Audrey suddenly had an abnormality.

She felt that she could no longer sense her body, and her whole person seemed to be condensed into a mass of thoughts, blending into the illusory sea around her.

This is the first time that she has seen the collective subconscious ocean directly without going through the "island" where her dreams and hearts are located, just like returning to the pre-birth period, to her mother's arms, to the beginning, washed away, disintegrated, and affected by the imprint left by the human ancestors.

There was fear, madness, and all kinds of terrible spiritual pollution, and Audrey was difficult to resist for a while, her consciousness faded, and her "figure" shook and was about to melt.

However, the nearby "sea" is not quiet, and there is a certain amount of ups and downs, which exaggerates the intense sadness and pain all around.

Under such influence, Audrey, whose self-perception is about to be assimilated by the sea of the collective subconscious, also resonates, and produces an uncontrollable grief.

Grief passed from one thought to another, and soon filled the "thoughts" that Audrey had "mutated" into, piercing into her spiritual body and soul.

Audrey finally came to her senses, skillfully soothed herself, and kept giving hints, removing the pollution, until she came to her senses.

A voice in her ears became more and more obvious, louder and louder, and finally completely echoed in this sea of collective subconscious:

"The only destination is tranquility!"

"The only destination is tranquility!"

"The only place to go is tranquility......," Audrey repeated the prayer, her figure flying and clear.

She was just a thought, and she had a transparent and illusory multiple self separation, swimming in the ocean of the collective subconscious, arriving at the island of the mind that represented different people and climbing up.

In these "places", she intuitively saw where different people's grief came from:

From the shells that fell from the sky, from the airships that formed the formation, from the letters sent back from the front, from the bad news from the postmen, from the splashes of flesh and blood, from the sudden fall of a loved one, from the pile of toys without their owners, from the violent coughing in the great haze......

"The only destination is tranquility. ”

Susie, the golden retriever, also closed her eyes during the Mass and recited the words in her mind in human language, not noticing any changes around her.

Suddenly, in her soul, in her mental body, Audrey's voice sounded:

"Susie, I made it......

"I was always worried that I would become more and more affected by potions as I progressed through the sequence, becoming more and more aloof, more and more like a mythical creature rather than a human. ”

Susie looked up a little dazedly, only to see that although the blonde girl beside her had her eyes closed, her face was full of tears at some point.

Then she heard Audrey say in her heart:

"Thankfully, I can still feel their grief.

"That's a good ......"

In Susie's eyes, a tear slipped down from the corner of the blonde girl's eye, crystal clear and clear.

At this time, the sun retracted its last rays of light, and the night brought tranquility.

Everyone opened their eyes at the same time and said in a calm voice:

"The only destination is tranquility!"

............

After crying without restraint, the originally sunny Audrey was calm, a little more delicate, with a touch of sadness, so that everyone who saw her felt pity from the bottom of their hearts.

With all kinds of protection, she returned to Queens and returned to her room.

It was only then that she had the opportunity to take a hard look at herself, digesting the knowledge and experience gained from the potion, from the sea of the collective subconscious.

Others may not be able to see it, but Audrey knows very well that the beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes in the mirror has super strength and exaggerated dragon scale defense, which belongs to the kind that can burst a piece of steel with a single punch.

"Well, I can also 'dragonize', which is equivalent to using an incomplete mythical creature form, but this must wait until I get used to the potion and constantly superimpose the correct psychological cues, otherwise it will just get out of control...... Each 'dragonization' must not exceed a certain period of time, otherwise even if there is a treatment for the spirit and mind, it will be deeply infected by madness and chaos, causing it to get out of control...... My current limit is around a minute......

"The core ability of the 'manipulator' is called 'manipulation', I can let the mind body enter the island of other people's minds through the sea of collective subconscious, directly tamper with their subconscious, read their thoughts, and silently drive them to do all kinds of things......

"Paired with 'manipulation' is 'virtual personality', I can simulate many personalities and let them have corresponding mental bodies, which on the one hand can counter many influences in the field of the mind, and on the other hand, it allows me to talk to others while using 'them' to silently invade the target's island of consciousness without any signs on the surface......

"I only have thirteen avatars at the moment......

"The 'manipulator' can also create a terrible 'spiritual plague', using the collective subconscious sea to infect all kinds of mental illnesses and extreme madness......

"Well, 'deterrence' has become a large-scale 'mental deprivation', and there is no longer only one effect of deterrence......

"I can also turn my designated thoughts into 'psychic storms' that sweep around me and affect all enemies......

"Hehe, as a 'manipulator', the ability to swim in the sea of the collective subconscious is also necessary, this is called 'consciousness walking', otherwise when I arrive at the predetermined place slowly after complicated manipulation as before, the target has already left......" Audrey looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly showed a shallow smile.

Then, she puffed out her cheeks and opened her mouth as if she was about to vomit something.

Since her mythical creature form is a psychic dragon, it must have breath.

This can directly stimulate and damage the target's mental body and mental body, which is a range-based, effect-enhanced version of "Psychic Piercing".

Audrey's eyes immediately turned slightly, retracted her gaze, and sighed in her heart:

"This is a demigod and a half-human, and these abilities make me feel scared myself...... And how powerful Mr. 'World' must have been able to kill Herwin Lambis......"

............

Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.

As the participants of the hunt got ready, they decided to organize a private meeting to discuss the details.

"'Manipulator' is so terrible?" "Magician" Furth blurted out in shock as he looked at Miss "Justice" beside him.

Just now, "Justice" Audrey briefly mentioned the changes after becoming a demigod, although in order to protect the hole cards, she did not say anything in detail, but it still made "Magician", "Hermit", "Judgment" and "Star" frightened.

"It's not that scary, Mr. 'World' knows it very well. Audrey looked at the bottom of the long mottled table.

"The World" Gelman Sparrow did not nod his head, but said "um":

"I also have a strong helper to kill Herwin Lambis. ”

He paused, then said:

"Before discussing the hunt, I want to know how to make the Abrahams feel my friendliness?"
