Normally, all that awaits Byson is ruthless abandonment.

Mark found himself still relenting.

The Caribbean stopped at the dock for two days and was ready to leave on the third day.

The capital of the arts no longer has what Mark needs.

These days are nothing more than some useless aristocratic invitations, either luncheons or extravagant balls. Every nobleman or wealthy merchant wanted to use his name to gain political capital or economic benefits.

It's boring.

After the High Priestess of Music, Alini, promised to help him pay the money into the Imperial Bank of Latt once every six months, Mark left.

"My lord, our goal?" Captain Wren asked.

"What if you go to the Endless Ice Ocean to the north?"

This is a very general goal. Wren didn't directly object, he just said: "Then we need a big resupply in the port of Osterten in the North Continent." ”

Helena added: "It's close to winter, and there will be many icebergs and even large areas of ice floes near the north of the ice ocean, and the Caribbean is an ocean-going vessel, but if we want to go further north, then we need a major refit to strengthen its ice-breaking capabilities." As well as the heating system of the converted vessel. ”

"How long?"

"Port Osterdine has an important base for the Mechanics, however, even if we get the full cooperation of the other party, it will take two months at the earliest, but after the modification, it happens to hit the harsh winter. If you are not in a hurry, it is better to go through the spring again. ”

Mark was stunned for a moment: "Okay then! ”

Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter! Mark understands this.

Valkyrie's right arm was too far away, which made Mark a little worried.

After a moment of silence, Minnie spoke in the soul circuit instead: "Don't worry about me yet, I don't think I have the strength to fuse the spirit body of the Valkyrie so quickly." Mark: You prioritize your own business. ”

What can Mark do?

He is now in the process of accumulating, such as reading enough books, which is just in a hurry.

He smiled bitterly: "If I have to say that I lack something, it is probably that my [Apocalypse Card Deck] still lacks a [War Knight]. ”

There have always been very few horsemen of the Apocalypse walking in the world, which is something that cannot be encountered.

Mark simply didn't want to.

"Then let's go around."

On the surface, he looks like a rich man after becoming famous, rich and capricious, driving cruise ships around.

In fact, Mr. Galaxy listens to the supplications from different places and goes out in all directions.

In order to prevent the cult from directly targeting itself with the target of revenge, Mark completely acted as a 'zealous citizen', and asked Bison to help disguise himself and go to various orthodox churches to report it.

One report is accurate.

For two weeks in a row, cultists along the northeastern coast of the entire empire were hacked.

And Mark himself put on a lot of pomp and circumstance, reading for 4 hours a day, and spending the rest of the time eating, drinking, and having fun.

It just so happened that Anvena Sanniu seemed to have foreseen something, and she was quite enthusiastic for a while, and as soon as she entered Mark's study, she drilled under the desk, and she couldn't stop it.

Mark lived three weeks of happy and depraved days.

On the surface, it's not an exaggeration to say that he made a cameo appearance as a priest of great sin.

Only Mark's closest comrades-in-arms can clearly feel that his spiritual power is increasing day by day.

Yes, secretly drip hard, and then amaze everyone, talking about Mark in his current state.

[Eye of Knowledge] has been reading books day and night, so that his extraordinary book reading volume has finally exceeded 1,000.

Just as he finished reading the last book, the book "Encyclopedia of Low-Level Mysticism" given to him by the God of Knowledge suddenly bloomed with a powerful aura.

From this moment on, it was no longer a simple and extraordinary book, but truly one with his soul.

It hovered about 40 centimeters above Mark's right shoulder, hiding in the mysterious aura that Mark naturally released. Unless the other party has a strength far above Mark, it will not be visible at all.

It was no longer a simple book, and Mark could sense that there was a space inside it that was completely different from its appearance. Tens of thousands of secret arts are like soldiers waiting to go to the battlefield in full armor, waiting for the call of his master.

Even the title of the book has been changed to "The Book of Knowledge", and on the front and back covers, there is an [Eye of Knowledge] open, scanning back and forth like a living creature, like a sentinel to mark the enemy.

Mark has no doubt that once an enemy appears, the Book of Knowledge will help him attack the enemy before he can react as his master.

His surging spiritual power shocked all the powerhouses on the ship.

When Wren arrives with the others, he sees Conrad, Hank, and Helena standing outside the study. It's just that miraculous vision that has transformed the metal façade of the study into the shape of a bookshelf.

Translucent books with mysterious characters written on the covers of them keep jumping around the shelves, as if they want to jump out.

"Master, promoted?" Wren didn't hide his joy.

Helena nodded: "Please keep your post strictly with the captain." ”

"Good!" Without saying a word, Wren let the Storm Squad disperse while he returned to the bridge.

Mark's promotion continues.

In his vision, everything was changing rapidly.

From the initial surprise, he is now accustomed to the strange feeling of shuttling through translucent and extraordinary books.

But what appeared at the end of the sea of books was not just 'knowledge', but also the [fate] that he plundered, which turned into 'history books' in the form of experience, and existed in Mark's soul in the most special form.

Mark realizes that he must deal with these 'books of fate' or it will not only be wasted, but his soul will be the first to be eaten when they break free from the cage of fate he has set up.

Squinting his eyes, he tried to blend the books, and it felt very heavy.

It's like touching it, and immediately a whole mountain hangs upside down overhead, and it is pressed down.

There was a faint hissing from inside the book, and there were weepings of extreme pain, as well as all kinds of violent roars, which made people easily think of the various evil beasts in the bottomless abyss who participated in the eternal bloody battle.

Mark finally realized that these powers from cultists and demons from all walks of life were not powers that he could integrate and completely master.

This does not prevent Mark from 'exploiting' them.

As a god recited, the souls of the sinful sins suppressed in Valhalla heard Mark's grand and majestic voice proclaim at the same time:

"O great sinner of failure—"

"Your insistence is pointless—"

"Surrender to fate! That's the only value of your existence—"

The Priests of Great Sin and the twisted creatures have emerged from the Blood Moon Cards, and the torment of an unknown amount of time has long since worn out their faith in the Demon God.

The irresistible dominance has diluted their last insistence.

They fell on their knees and bowed to the being who ruled their destiny!

At this moment, just below the right side of the "Treasure Book of Knowledge", a 'colorful' black hand appeared out of thin air.

This is the hand of sin, and the hand of great sin.

All the great sinners whose fate has been plundered by Mark will be in the cage of Valhalla, day and night, spitting out their vicious tongues, offering the greatest magic power for Mark's use.

In the second step, Mark set his sights on the largest number of Samsara members in Valhalla. With their strength, a [Reincarnation Eye] opened over Mark's left shoulder, which was much darker than the "Book of Knowledge".

The third step is to condense the [Sword of Light] with the power of light as the core, and the [Blade of Night]. It was the Bishop of Light and the Inquisitor who had fallen into Mark's hands by accident to provide the power......

No one could see that behind the four strange things, there was a thread of fate that connected to Mark's left hand.

His hand is the [Hand of Destiny]!

It was only at this point that Mark's condensation was temporarily completed.

Actually, there is also a [Spear of the Apocalypse], but it lacks [War].

For some reason, Mark had a faint premonition that sooner or later he would have to make a 'Seven Stars with the Moon'

"Whew-" Mark let out a long breath of turbid air and began to gather the spiritual power he had released.

The sparkle faded away.

When he heard Mark's voice "come in", everyone close to him had a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

"Mark, you've been promoted?" Helena's voice was impassioned.

"Well, I've been promoted to [Polyma]." Mark smiled, he didn't say anything about the improvement of fate, after all, it was almost a little, probably a hundred million points.

Even so, the cheers rang out.

"Congratulations to my lord!"

"Congratulations!"

One counts as one, but all the guys who can be called by the name have come to congratulate Mark.

As the saying goes, laymen look at the bustle, and insiders look at the doorway.

Those who don't understand only know that the stronger their master, the better, and only an old powerhouse like Ren knows how difficult the title of [Polymath] is.

In other sequences, the difficulty of promotion tends to rise more evenly.

Only the occult sequence is different, it is infinitely elevated from the beginning, and it is typical that it is difficult first and then easy.

It's like a ship, if the lower level is just a sampan, the superstructure can't be tall at all.

If it's based on the hull of a dreadnought, there's as many superstructures and weapons as many options as the stars in the sky.

Promotion sequence 6 is the most difficult, and once the power of other sequences is fused, it will form a power leap similar to a thousand miles in a day.

It is impossible for Wren to know that Mark, a freak, actually appeared when he was promoted, and the [Parallel Thinking] and the two god-level talents of the Fa Ye appeared.

If I knew, I would have dropped my jaw.

In a congratulatory voice, Mark looked out the window at the endless sea.

"Yo, fate, don't you want something to practice for me?"

Hearing his call, the dice seemed to reply with a "yes!" ”

The thread of fate began to be reknitted silently.
