Chapter 303: Mythical Races
"Is she the one you told about when we entered this City? You said sothing about Goddess of Trickery fooled so Destiny Goddess, right? Is she the one?" Charles asked in a solemn tone.
anwhile, Oswald moved away from the ritual circle, went near the wooden chair, and sat on it.
Then, he let out a deep sigh and shook his head.
"Nope. There are many Divines out there with the sa Domain. This Destiny Goddess is an expert from the Elder Plane. I heard that she is a Mid-God and controls the domains of Destiny and Sword. Although she won't even last a few seconds against the 'Madman,' she should be powerful enough to give trouble for Sun God."
Upon hearing those words, Charles's eyes squinted.
"Mid-God… Hmm, how powerful is this Sun God? He must've reached the realm of Mid-God, right?"
"I'm not certain about that. But he is very powerful and mysterious. Sothing is off about this Angel of Ti. Why did he appear here? Why is he hiding from the 'Madman'?" Oswald showed a grim look on his face.
"He said that he stole sothing precious from the Madman." Charles deliberated a mont and then explained what Sun God told him in detail.
"Hmm… Testers, huh. He seems to be testing all the participants. Is he searching for a perfect candidate? It is possible. But your actions must have startled him greatly. Every action of yours ended up resulting in a great ss after all." Oswald suddenly paused for a mont and asked.
"What is your next action?"
Upon hearing those words, Charles went silent.
In truth, he was utterly shocked by the previous incidents.
After a long silence, he went near Oswald, sat on the opposite chair, tapped his finger on the wooden table, and spoke.
"I don't care about Sun God's sches or gas. But if not for his help, I wouldn't have co this far. The System helped in many ways. So, I will help him once and repay the favor."
anwhile, a surprised expression appeared on Oswald's face.
"Repay the favor? When did you beco a selfless guy?" He couldn't help but show a curious look.
Upon hearing those words, Charles couldn't help but chuckle.
"Selfless? Nah, I have deep enmity with Red Prince and Destiny Goddess. One way or another, I'm bound to face them head-on one day. Moreover, the Sun God seems to be a polite guy. As long he didn't cross the line, I will stay neutral and help him a little." He paused for a mont and then added with a smile.
"Before that, I need your help with sothing else."
"My help?" Oswald raised his eyebrows in suspicion.
Charles nodded his head and spoke.
"Yes, I want you to take a look at the System-45 artifact and see if you can modify it. You once said that so forbidden artifacts could help one to steal soul essences from souls, right? Can you create and add them to the System? I also want you to add this Seven-Leaf rune array."
For the first ti, Oswald's expression turned serious.
"I thought that artifact is your deep secret." He asked in a shocked tone.
A bitter smile appeared on Charles's face as he heard those words.
"I thought that artifact was a powerful one and could help in many ways. But after seeing Madman's tiny bit of power, I realized how naïve I was. That guy could attack us from countless stars away and even hold on against the Sun God's Will. He can read our past, present, and all possible futures. From the Sun God's earlier words, I learned that he is actually in a sealed state! Do you know what this ans? Even he isn't invincible. If I want to beco an omnipotent being, I've to be stronger than that guy! But if I rely on this current System, I won't even survive from the sches of Divines." He said in a cold tone.
"You want to upgrade the System Artifact, huh?" Oswald nodded his head in understanding.
"Yes. If possible, I also want you to add this Pocket Watch to it. It has the ability to Stop the Ti, so why not?" Charles made another request, placed his soul imprint on the pocket watch, and checked the Star Watch's function in detail.
'Hmm, True Vision, and Fog of Ti… Fog of Ti could help erase my existence from others… Wait.' At that mont, he suddenly recalled the potion master Stephen's death and widened his eyes.
'When he was concocting a potion, the array circle activated on its own and warned him about an intruder. At that ti, he thought of the intruder as so rat and returned to his work. But within a few minutes, sothing attacked him and turned him into a stone… So, that's Emilia's work, huh!' He nodded his head in enlightennt.
'Moreover, the Foster family seems to have so connection with Elder Plane. The Eternal Sin language inscriptions on the walls… It seems I need to pay a visit later.' He thought to himself and shifted his attention towards the Star Watch.
At that mont, he noticed a row of information appeared in his mind.
'Ti Stop… Once I activate this skill, I can indeed stop the 'Ti' around 100-ter radius for the next 30 seconds. Everything within the 100-ter radius will be affected by this skill. But there is a long cooldown of 30 days for this skill. Moreover, if I want to move my body, my physical attributes need to be above 50. So, it's basically useless now, huh.' He let out a deep sigh and turned his gaze towards Oswald.
anwhile, the white-haired old man stared at the hall's ceiling and seed to be in deep thoughts.
After a short silence, he shifted his gaze towards Charles and asked.
"Can you communicate with your System artifact? Does it have self-consciousness? Like the normal Intellectual artifacts?"
Upon hearing those words, Charles frowned for a mont and nodded.
"It is possible. When I constructed the 'Life of Fire spell model, it voluntarily ca forward and helped . But I don't sense any life presence in the Ga-System. What happened?"
anwhile, Oswald wore a troubled look and spoke.
"When you told about how Sun God presented intellectual artifacts to other participants as gifts, I felt ridiculous. In truth, creating an intellectual artifact is very hard, lad. If not, why would a Divine and countless powerful Mystics united together to sche against , put in Eternal Prison for thousands of years, weakened my soul, and then create this Holem's Crown? In truth, I'm not even a powerful Intellectual artifact." He stopped for a mont and soon frowned.
"But how did the Sun God create intellectual artifacts in bulk? Don't you find sothing is off about it?"
At that mont, Charles suddenly thought of a possibility and asked.
"They are not intellectual artifacts?"
"No, they are intellectual artifacts. But they are incomplete artificial. Have you heard of Tower Spirits?" Oswald took out a crystal ball from his space ring and asked.
Charles frowned for a mont and shook his head.
As if he had already expected such an answer, Oswald placed the crystal ball on the wooden table and spoke.
"Tower Spirits are actually artificially created spirits. They have no soul, no emotion, and no consciousness. They are a collection of images, mories, and information. They are incomplete life forms and only obey the command of their owner. They don't distinguish the difference between good and evil."
Upon hearing those words, Charles subconsciously thought of artificial intelligence.
On the other hand, Oswald deliberated for a mont and then spoke in an excited voice.
"But before the Era of Past Ti, there lived a few mythical races in my ho planet. They were Primordial Dragons, High Elves, High Humans and Primordial Titans. They were considered masters of all elents and were very smart. They lived there for eons, conquered countless Planes, and terrorized the whole universe. Even the Demons and Devils feared them."
"But one day, all the four Mythical Races suddenly disappeared. No, not only them, but other Mythical Races from other planes also disappeared all of a sudden. But they seem to have anticipated such an outco and made multiple preparations for future generations. The four Mythical Races in Easica Plane also did the sa. Before they left the planet, they created 24 Magic Towers and gifted them to their descendants."
"Unlike the normal Tower Spirits, the Tower Spirits in those Magic Towers have their own emotions, consciousness, and even a soul core. In the whole universe, none managed to create a soul out of nothing. But those maniacs did it. They defied the logic and created completely new life forms. Your System might be an imitation of this thod!"
Charles was stunned by the new information.
"Mythical Races? Wait… Even Gods can't create new life forms?" He asked in surprise.
"Gods? Nah. If they are capable of such a feat, why do they need to rely on mortals? They actually steal mortals' souls in the na of faith and took them to their Divine Kingdom. This has sothing to do with the World Trees." Oswald said in disdain.
His earlier excitent also disappeared in an instant.
