Chapter 114: Promoted to the Second Order, Child of the Storm

"Is there a natural spirit with power in the skull?

This strange thing really can't be measured by common sense. ”

Byron didn't expect that when he was reading it, he was also trying to read himself, and he also recognized that he was not the real Charlotte through the power of the agricultural field.

Ever since he activated the [Storm Seal], he had never encountered anything like this.

Even though it is only vaguely aware of the knowledge in its own relevant powers, it is already terrifying enough.

It is a treasure born from all the agricultural knowledge of a civilization.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you my brain, but from now on, your head belongs to me."

Byron wasn't prepared to talk nonsense with it, and went up to take it off the altar.

From the memories of the dancer Charlotte, she knew that this thing had no attack power of its own, and that it had to be served by the bountiful attendants.

Now that "she" has taken the initiative to take on the task of guarding, and the others are not there, she can naturally do whatever she wants with it.

But the next words of the crystal skull made him pause, and he couldn't help but listen:

"Wait! Do you aspire to the sublimation of the essence of life?

Do you want to know what makes up spirituality? Want to know why contraindications have all the strange side effects?

Want to know how you can reach the realm of the 'gods'?!

This is forbidden knowledge within a taboo, and the Lord of your faith will never reveal the slightest.

But I can tell you. ”

At this time, the crystal skeleton is like a devil who penetrates people's hearts.

There is hardly any transcendent being in the world who can withstand this temptation.

Without waiting for Byron to speak, he sang another poem again, just as he had sung "On Man" to a group of pioneers:

God treats man as a creature whose nature is undetermined and has appointed them a place in the middle of the world.

God says to man,

We put you in the center of the world, where it's easier for you to see everything in the world.

We have made you neither heaven nor earth, immortal or immortal.

So that you can take the freedom and glory of choice, and shape yourself in any shape you like, as if you were your own maker and caster.

You can be both savage and sacred.'"

Despite the use of metaphors and subtle expressions, Byron quickly grasped the meaning of the poem by virtue of his wealth of extraordinary knowledge.

There was even a sudden feeling of enlightenment.

At once, I understood part of the underlying logic of the operation of the entire transcendent world.

In other words, human beings, or human spirituality, are actually a combination of animal and divine nature.

Man can become a 'beast' or a god.

The forbidden knowledge that prevailed overseas was 'beast', and the silver law of the Old World was 'god'.

The cursed thing is the 'beast', the holy relic is the 'god', the outside of the sequence is the 'beast', the inside the sequence is the 'god', and so on. ”

The more Byron listened, the brighter his eyes became.

"In modern terms, bestiality is the 'id' representing desire and primitive drives, and divinity is the 'superego' representing morality and collective guidance.

But the 'id' and the 'superego' are the two tyrants vying for control of the mind.

The former are physical slaves, while the latter are in cahoots with human society.

The most typical manifestation is that the forbidden knowledge rooted in 'animal nature' all has all kinds of strange side effects, gluttony, laziness, and eccentricity

Even many of the degenerate have become evil spirits and grotesques.

And the ladder of glory rooted in 'divinity', although it is very stable and safe, without any side effects, is rigid and rigid from the beginning to the end.

If you are always trapped in the rules set by the Church and the Creator, you will stop at the supreme kingship of the world, and you are doomed to be unable to achieve transcendence.

Whichever of these two is completely inclined to the other, it is too extreme and neither is the right way!

Do not add entities unless necessary.

The whole transcendent system seems to be completely unified by this theory. ”

Thinking of this, Byron's eyes brightened like never before, and he seemed to see the truth through the crystal skull's eye sockets.

Of course, it is more likely that the Inquisition will regard it as blasphemy and hunt down the truth to death.

Without the accumulation of knowledge on both the Old World and the Bantaan Islands, it would have been impossible to have such a transcendent vision.

It is also possible that it is because it drinks too much brains on both sides of the relationship.

Byron didn't expect that he had just arrived in the Bantaan Islands and had gained this level of transcendent knowledge, and he felt that his transcendent path was bright.

Then I couldn't help but confirm my conjecture with it:

"Do you mean that the most correct path for the transcendent should actually be to stabilize the [anchor] in oneself by constantly touching the [Silver Law].

Then delve into the [Taboo Knowledge] and create a [Sail] for breaking out of the safety zone and riding the wind and waves.

Only by being still and moving can he make his sailboat run fast and steady, and finally touch the realm of the gods and become an immortal existence.

Isn't that so? ”

In his expectant gaze, the jaw of the crystal skull opened and closed, but instead of answering his question, he coldly pronounced the verdict:

"I mean, you can't run away!"

It was obviously a skeleton without any flesh and blood, but it could clearly feel the banter on Byron's face.

The floor of the entire chamber began to roll violently, and bone skulls with shattered skulls emerged from below.

Like those bountiful attendants, each head is filled with a toothy and clawed root.

Like a tidal wave, "Boom la La" poured towards Byron.

The small secret room seems to have become a nest of "skeleton spiders" in an instant.

At the same time, two hurried footsteps could be heard from the entrance to the secret passage behind Byron.

There is still some time before the other party rushes in, but if Byron chooses to run out at this time, he will definitely bump into the other party head-on.

Apparently the Crystal Skull didn't know what method to use, and notified the [Famine Slayer] who was most closely connected to it to come back to the rescue.

The Famine Hunter used the Nautilus to call the Corona Priest again.

"If you want to get knowledge, you have to pay a price.

Don't struggle anymore, your brain must be delicious! Let me eat! Let me eat! ”

However, Byron's face did not show any panic, but glanced at the countdown in the journal, and smiled toothily at the crystal skeleton that had been guarded by the "skeleton spider":

"Three minutes have come, and you are the one who can't run away."

The psychological transfiguration on his body was lifted, and his eyes erupted with an intense spiritual glow of azure blue.

In this second-order promotion ceremony, he obviously chose the first pirate route.

Hold high the banner of "strong victory is better than hard work" and complete the plundering of the three group targets.

If the value of a one-time raid is huge, it is possible to complete the promotion immediately.

The sign of success of the raid is to obtain the full right to dispose of the target's property without anyone on the enemy can stop it: buy, sell, discard, destroy

Hold it for at least three minutes.

It is about the same as the state of: "You scream, you scream, and no one will pay attention to you if you cut your throat".

The conversation just now seemed to be that Byron was bewitched by the other party's words and passively waited.

In fact, he already knew that according to the previously determined position, it would be impossible for the other two people to rush back in three minutes.

Why not the high-end transcendent knowledge given for free?

While listening to the class, his second-order promotion ceremony had quietly begun.

With the manifestation of the [Silver Law] in the spiritual world, the great net descended instantly.

Another anchor chain in Byron's spirituality gripped the second layer of the law, and the transcendent power belonging to the second-order [Storm Knight] was also instilled into his body.

Phewβ€”β€”!

A gust of wind blew abruptly through the chamber.

Blow away the skulls that had rushed to him.

If Byron takes the knightly route, the core ability he gains will be the [Breath of All Things], which symbolizes domination:

"Your spirituality will be in tune with the frequencies of all things, and you will be able to understand the emotions of any living thing and grasp the weaknesses of the dead.

Rocks, steel, and even formless winds can be easily cut with a single stick. ”

However, the core ability of the currently selected pirate route is [Children of the Storm], which is not inferior to the former:

"As a child of the storm, the winds of the world will bless you.

First, you will grasp the meaning of the wind, and you can easily shape the massive amount of wind into a short-handled battle axe, which can be used as a powerful throwing weapon.

Second, your own gravity can no longer restrain you.

As long as you activate the ability, you can use the power of the wind to force the gravity of yourself and your personal equipment to zero.

Not only can you walk on snow and water without a trace, but you can even fly like a piece of paper with the help of the opponent's sword wind.

Cooperate with the Storm Sword Technique to multiply the power! ”

In the time principle of swordsmanship, the hand, torso, foot, and footwork, the speed of the hand is the fastest, and the speed of footwork is the slowest.

All the frames and sword moves of the Storm Sword Technique are designed to shorten these four times.

And with the blessing of [Storm Child], you can do it as fast as your footwork!

The swordsmanship realm immediately took a big leap.

Byron stretched out his hand, and the crystal skeleton that was re-exposed on the altar was instantly swept into his waist bag by the wind.

Bang!

There was a loud bang.

The [Famine Hunter] and [Corona Priest], who had just stepped into the secret passage, were also violently shocked out by one of his storm battle axes.

Then, a figure struck in front of the two second-order transcendents with the empty door wide open.

"Today I'm going to fight two at a time!"
