Chapter 112: Chapter 108 Consecution “Disguiser

In fact, when deciding which God Pantheon stairway to guide Theo onto, Karl hesitated as well.

People whose character traits match the affinity of a path find it easier to reach the top when stepping onto a God Pantheon stairway, yet Theo’s character traits aligned with both the “Path of World Order” and the “Path of Authority.”

The focus of the “Path of World Order” isn’t on requiring Extraordinary Exponents to comply with laws and all sorts of rules, but rather on maintaining principles within one’s heart.

The focus of the “Path of Authority,” on the other hand, is a strong identification with existing hierarchies and external rules.

As for the “Path of Conquest,” it was actually a path Theo was completely unsuited for because he lacked strong ambition.

Only those with intense ambition, who almost wish to devour everything, can really go further and further on the “Path of Conquest.”

Theo was a person who valued loyalty and honor, convinced that since he had taken the Fischer family’s money, he must be as loyal as possible as a “working man.”

He fit the character traits for stepping onto both the “Path of Authority” and the “Path of World Order.”

After much consideration, Karl still chose to give the Spiritual Radiance of the “Path of Authority” to Theo.

Since Vanessa had already embarked upon the “Path of World Order,” let Theo step onto the “Path of Authority.” It’s better to avoid having functional Extraordinary traits overlap as much as possible.

The Power of Consecution of “Path of Authority,” “Servant,” includes two Extraordinary traits.

They are “stalk” and “bestow.”

The Extraordinary trait “stalk” allows an Extraordinary Exponent to actively consume Spiritual Power to designate a target within sight.

After that, no matter where the target goes, as long as it’s theoretically possible to reach the target’s location, “Servant” can sense the position of the other party, and their body can even uncontrollably move automatically to the target’s side.

Whether it’s to find teammates or to seek enemies, “stalk” is a very useful Extraordinary trait.

The second Extraordinary trait, “bestow,” is theoretically the strongest trait in the lower ranks of the sequence.

An Extraordinary Exponent possessing the Power of Consecution “Servant” can only activate it once a day, by receiving an active “bestowment” from a higher-ranked Extraordinary Exponent, temporarily gaining the opportunity to use one of the higher Exponent’s powers.

Because of the complete difference in sequence levels, even if it’s the same Extraordinary power, the effect after use will be completely different; as a low-rank Extraordinary Exponent, “Servant” definitely won’t be as powerful as the original high-rank Extraordinary Exponent.

Without a doubt, the strength of “Servant” depends on whether the teammates are reliable, and its overall ceiling is very high.

And when advancing to a higher position on the Path of Authority, the Extraordinary Exponent becomes extremely adept at destroying and defeating lower sequences, striking down the weak, which is also a characteristic of this God Pantheon stairway.

“This is Extraordinary power, the Spiritual Power of the consecution from God Pantheon stairway spoken of by Mr. Byrne… It’s truly miraculous!”

Theo, utterly bewildered, looked at his hands feeling as if they were unreal, everything happened so suddenly and seemed so surreal.

A surge of extraordinary information appeared out of nowhere in his mind, dissecting, arranging, and reconstructing until he suddenly understood the ability he had gained.

Honestly, Theo could not comprehend this phenomenon.

Why had all these inexplicable pieces of information suddenly appeared in his mind, who had implanted them, and why did they let him know about the Extraordinary powers he had acquired?

He simply did not understand how all this had happened.

But his body indeed felt lighter and more powerful, his strength had clearly improved, and he had even become stronger than he was when younger.

At the same time, Theo also became aware of some odd, invisible, yet palpable “thing” existing within him.

It was like a silent lake, not located in any particular part of the body, its presence only becoming clearer when he closed his eyes.

Was that Spiritual Power?

According to the calculation method set by Byrne, the enhancement to physical attributes brought on by “Servant” was 6.8, while the boost to Spiritual Power was 3.2.

Undoubtedly, it was a Power of Consecution geared more towards physical enhancement.

“…”

Theo silently experienced his transformation, his worldview being rebuilt, and for a long time, he was unable to speak.

The next to receive the grace of the Lord of the Lost was Chris, and there was no doubt that it was today’s main event.

The Fischer family was almost looking forward to powerful strength more than at any previous time.

They had been driven to a desperate situation by the overbearing Kesse family, and needed to make a last-ditch counterattack, requiring the gathering of all strong forces to increase the chance of victory.

Chris was silent, having thoroughly understood one thing.

Why one of the available advancement ceremonies for the 3rd Rank on the Path of Tranquility, was to Disguise Portrayal of different people.

When disguised as different people, Byrne spoke a lot, with unprecedented eloquence, but his heart always remained tranquil.

Chris silently disguised himself as different individuals, and all the external noise, the reactions of the people around him, never touched the tranquility at his core.

Because the person he portrayed was not himself, no matter how the outside world reacted to that role, it could never truly touch his inner self.

Chris was an observer, quiet from start to finish.

He silently witnessed everyone’s every expression and movement, observing the role he was playing.

The Fischer family offered the Lord of the Lost their last Class 3 Extraordinary Material, the “dragon ice flower”.

This was a peculiar ice flower that resembled a dragon’s head and only bloomed in the valleys of the northern mountains on the Ouden Continent during winter. It could be used to make many high-level alchemical potions.

Because of the abrupt arrival of the Spirit World, bringing with it mysterious knowledge and peculiar items, the demand for extraordinary materials among the Extraordinaries on the Ouden Continent had suddenly become enormous.

The prices also became exorbitantly high—it could be said that extraordinary materials had seen the biggest price increase over the past decade.

Karl stood within the Spirit Realm, choosing one “constellation” that connected with the Path of Tranquility.

From then on, anyone who wished to advance to the 3rd Rank of the Path of Tranquility had to complete the ascent through the ritual of “Disguise Portrayal” using the extraordinary material, the “dragon ice flower”, along with other supporting extraordinary materials.

Of course, apart from the people of the Fischer family, no one in the world knew the specific magic potion formula and advancement ritual.

Karl also looked towards those other “constellations” that already had their own “things”. The peculiar items within them were the laws of many worlds.

Some of these belonged to the Claud World, others to different worlds, and many laws even affected more than one world.

Karl didn’t know how to destroy or change the extant laws of the worlds; deep down, he also understood one thing: they were not to be tampered with. Toying with them would undoubtedly bring about vast changes.

In the new dark blue constellation, there was a “masked figure”.

It was impossible to discern their age or gender, as if changing their various characteristics every moment, like a certain person and yet all people at once.

Karl took away the Spiritual Radiance and returned to the real world.

Every member of the Fischer family saw it.

A deep blue Spiritual Glow emerged in the basement.

“We thank you, great Lord of the Lost!” Irene said, her eyes filled with adoration and joy.

All eyes watched it slowly approach Chris, gradually merging with him.

Everyone’s expectations centered on Chris, who quietly closed his eyes, feeling the influx of new power.

The Power of Consecution, “Disguiser”!

A significantly stronger physical constitution, a substantial increase in Spiritual Power, and entirely new Extraordinary Abilities.

Countless indescribable bits of information rushed in, reconstructing and becoming understood, allowing Chris to fully comprehend the entire scope of the “Disguiser.”

He could feel that the physical enhancement brought by the “Disguiser” was a bit more substantial than that of the “Mysterious Scholar”.

The “Mysterious Scholar” boosted physical constitution by 20 and Spiritual Power by 50.

But the “Disguiser” saw an increase in physical constitution equivalent to 40, with an increase in Spiritual Power around 30.

Chris was very aware that the strength of his body had become close to that of a low-level Transmutated Bloodline Knight, and that even bullets from flintlock pistols could only cause grazes.

Unlike the “Mysterious Scholar” Sequence, which has many Extraordinary Abilities, the “Disguiser” had just one Extraordinary Power, named “fake-spirit card”.

An Extraordinary Exponent could create a card depicting a person by expending Spiritual Power, and anyone who tore or burned the card could instantly transform into the person depicted on the card.

Voice, appearance, and even scent and gender could be completely changed, yet it was impossible to mimic the Extraordinary Abilities of the person.

However, the duration of transformation through the “fake-spirit card” was limited, and the exact time depended on how much Spiritual Power was infused into the card during creation.

Moreover, other than the original user, one could use the “fake-spirit card” to transform only once per day.

If the current Chris invested all his Spiritual Power into a card, it could provide up to ten hours of disguise time.

“Very good.”

The murmuring Chris slowly stretched out his hand, with blue flames emerging from his fingertips, burning and dancing ceaselessly. In the next moment, a card depicting the image of “Baron Kesse” from his memory appeared from the blue flames.
