He Ao opened his eyes and looked at the card floating in his field of view.
The illustration on the card exudes a green brilliance, with a green sun hanging high in the sky, surrounded by a purple sky with strands of red clouds drifting above and below, seemingly a city.
This city is obscured by the green brilliance, its features indistinguishable, appearing to be densely packed with buildings.
At first glance, the buildings seem ordinary, but upon closer inspection, there’s a subtle ’strangeness’ about them.
So buildings allow one to walk from the bottom floor to the rooftop via stairs, or from left to right. So buildings appear both old and new, as if the past and future tis have overlapped.
And at the bottom of these buildings, there are faintly visible green lines undulating.
He Ao looked closer and vaguely realized that the entire scene on the card seems inverted, with the place where the green sun hangs more like the ground, and the twisted buildings resemble the sky.
He Ao lowered his gaze, looking at the crevices between the buildings.
There, it seed a twisted figure was slowly walking into the densely packed buildings.
His body bent forward, his feet invisible, as if rged into the ’ground’ below, yet his head slightly turned, seemingly sensing the gaze from the ’outside’, looking back towards the ’outside’.
He Ao raised his gaze, looking at the na of this card.
[Abnormal]
No adjectives, no embellishnts, just the simple word ’Abnormal’.
He Ao quietly gazed at the card, judging by the performance of Estella and the Primordial Wilderness, the power of Abnormal should be green.
The green sun seems to represent the power of Abnormal, but the purple ’sky’ cannot be explained by Super mory’s power.
With the Position of an Angel-tier in Super mory, it seems insufficient to leave such a vast area of content on an Abnormal card.
After all, the red clouds should be the residual War God power inside He Ao at that ti, and even the Position of the War God can only manifest as a few very thin clouds.
Generally speaking, things on a character card are symbolic.
So, the purple sky should be the power of the Witch of Desire?
If the purple sky is the power of the Witch of Desire, and the red clouds are the power of the War God, then the green sun should also belong to a ’Divine Being’, Mysterious Shadow?
So, the power of the elder sister and Mysterious Shadow eventually perated through the Abnormal.
He Ao turned his gaze back to the na on the card.
The system’s character card nas also carry a kind of mystical significance.
For example, Nell’s classic [Arrogant Person], which fits Nell’s state well, ’arrogant’ and ’person’.
Whereas this [Abnormal] lacks any adjective expression, similar to the naming of Pete’s [Saint].
And the [Saint] character card is because Pete himself is a saint.
Therefore, the naming thod of [Abnormal] also implies...
He Ao gazed at the character card before him.
This card is ’Abnormal’ itself?
Abnormal itself is chaotic without consciousness, He Ao once rged himself into it to briefly influence its ’decisions’, reversing the process of sealing and unsealing.
If his conjecture is correct, this card is indeed ’Abnormal’ itself, then he should have succeeded.
Moreover, it seems more successful than he anticipated, not only briefly ’influencing’ the Abnormal but also completely rging with it, becoming the ’consciousness’ of Abnormal.
Of course, He Ao knows, odds are things won’t be that ’smooth’, he surmises, the existence of this card is more likely due to a particular Bug.
After all, a weak consciousness rging into a powerful one is likely to be assimilated by the mighty consciousness, He Ao felt this strong assimilating power the instant he rged into the consciousness.
But at the mont of assimilation, he directly returned to the main world, placing his state at the instant of rging with Abnormal consciousness, at that mont, he and Abnormal were equal.
Yet, equal does not imply he is Abnormal.
It could also be ’Abnormal is him’.
Abnormal swallowed his consciousness, which is also its ’rging’ with him.
Though this card appears formidable, the danger it inherently carries is not small either.
Not to ntion the elder sister and Mysterious Shadow’s power hanging in the sky.
Judging by Mysterious Shadow’s performance, Mysterious Shadow seems to care a lot about the existence of Abnormal, otherwise, he wouldn’t put so much effort into sealing it, and he secretly guided Estella and others through fate to seal it, proving he didn’t want others—or at least other Divine Beings to know.
Although his secret ultimately wasn’t kept, discovered by the Witch of Desire, which led to this active event of Abnormal.
The color of Abnormal power and Mysterious Shadow’s power are both green, judging by the previous Abyss situation, Abnormal is likely similar to Abyss, of great importance to Mysterious Shadow.
So Mysterious Shadow’s attention to Abnormal is estimated to be very high.
anwhile, the Witch of Desire, the elder sister almost want to dissect He Ao, still harboring thoughts on Abnormal’s power.
The two Divine Beings behind this card have very strong intentions and are also very aggressive.
The Life Goddess does not involve herself this ti, only providing divine arts support, no power fusion occurs, otherwise He Ao could have borrowed Life Goddess’s power like with the [Whispering Lock], barely resisting.
But thinking about it, the Life Goddess probably also doesn’t want to wade into this muddy water.
Shaking his head, He Ao gazed at the card.
Combined with Abnormal’s innate powerful consciousness within this character card, until He Ao becos strong enough to resist these, he probably won’t be able to use this card.
Yet, considering his promotion speed, it should be soon.
With He Ao’s gaze, a system prompt box popped up accordingly.
[Would you like to pay 18 Exchange Stars to redeem ’Abnormal’? (You currently have available Exchange Stars: 18)]
Exchange Stars, really?
The last dungeon’s ’Night Peeping’ required 13 Exchange Stars, this one needs 18, is Abnormal this powerful?
How co I didn’t sense it?
Alright, throughout the entire encounter with Abnormal, it was sealed, and the victory was by obtaining partial support from Estella.
Looking at it this way, it seems indeed, I haven’t truly contacted the full power of Abnormal?
Based on the system’s evaluation criteria, the core of last ti’s [Night Peeping] stole the power of Divine Beings, touching the threshold of ’Usurper God’.
Thus, [Abnormal] has five more Exchange Stars than [Night Peeping], implying [Abnormal] is much stronger than [Night Peeping].
What is the abnormal energy level, the true ’Usurper God’?
But the [Abnormal] itself doesn’t seem to have stolen the power of any Divine Being like in the previous dungeon world with Di Man; it itself is a stable Higher Being of energy.
Or perhaps, becoming an Usurper God does not require directly stealing divine power; it is a stable tier, similar to the promotion of Talent Sequences, where one can ascend to an Usurper God by taking the corresponding Secret dicine and completing the necessary rituals or other requirents?
Reflecting back, it seems Kela also holds the position of an Usurper God. Her form appears stable, without a clear sense of stealing divine power.
Past experiences and mysticism knowledge gathered in He Ao’s mind, and a thought erged in his head.
’Usurper God’ itself is a stable level? And it possesses its own Talent Sequences?
This level can also be ascended through Secret dicine?
Then, can a Divine Being, like a Transcendent, also beco one by consuming Secret dicine, performing a certain ritual or fulfilling so requirents?
Can mortals too beco gods?
At that mont, He Ao thought of the apparent contradiction between Usurper Gods and Divine Beings of the sa nature.
If Usurper Gods can normally ascend to Divine Beings through taking the right Secret dicine, then every Usurper God on the sa path has an irreconcilable conflict with the Divine Beings.
Having reached the step of becoming an Usurper God, it’s hard to say there’s no further ambition, and to move further ahead,
one must slay the gods.
However, Usurper Gods themselves do not have the ability to slay gods, but they can unite with other Divine Beings to oppose the divine power on their own path.
And for the Divine Beings themselves, killing all Usurper Gods on the sa path is also a ans to ensure their own safety.
This is why the level ’Usurper God’ is called Usurper God.
Arrogant Person, below is human, above is god.
Therefore, they are ’Usurper Gods’.
That’s why the Tuning Master would side with the God of Machinery, and the God of Machinery would use the Tuning Master to threaten the God of Knowledge, while good friends must eliminate the Tuning Master.
Many things that couldn’t be understood in the past seed to connect at this mont in He Ao’s mind.
Although this is just one of He Ao’s speculations, there are still many things that cannot be explained, such as how a good friend could swallow the Tuning Master’s power, why the Mysterious Shadow only seals the Abnormal.
But overall, this ’speculation’ seems to explain many things.
He Ao suddenly took a deep breath, feeling the power of Super mory within himself.
During this dungeon, he has completely mastered Super mory. Although there are still remnants of abrupt promotion that left so fissures and disharmony, he has indeed truly mastered the power of Super mory.
As per the normal process for Transcendents, at this point, he should be preparing for ’promotion’.
And if his speculation is correct, he can now prepare to ascend to an ’Usurper God’.
Okay, so here cos the problem.
What is the na of the next Talent Sequence, what is the formula for the promotion Secret dicine, does the promotion require a ritual, and if so, what kind of ritual? He seems completely in the dark.
Additionally, this is just based on his conjecture. If he is wrong, and the Usurper God can only be ford through other ans, like Di Man in the previous dungeon, who stole divine power, then he would be even more clueless.
This is the headache of wild exploration, completely blind, knowing nothing.
He Ao sighed lightly; to truly obtain concrete knowledge, he would probably have to ask a real Usurper God.
But evidently, there are no Usurper Gods in the Main World, and in the dungeon worlds, the strongest seem to be Angels.
The path ahead seems like a road no one has trodden before.
What if he could find Kela? But Kela seems to be a naturally born Usurper God, with her own Talent Sequence, also a refined Talent Sequence. Asking her about promotion knowledge would likely provide no insights.
Indeed, knowledge truly is power; having knowledge can certainly avoid many things.
Eating als bite by bite, walking roads step by step, after encountering so many Divine Beings and Usurper Gods, perhaps there will always be a way to get so clues.
First, let’s solve the problem at hand.
He Ao took a deep breath, setting aside the thoughts in his mind, and looked at the available Exchange Stars, 18 in total.
After settling the previous dungeon, he had a total of 34 Exchange Stars.
By the end of this dungeon, he spent two Exchange Stars to exchange for the 24-hour use of the [Saint], almost failing to break through in ti. If it weren’t for He Ao’s swift breakthrough, more Exchange Stars for additional ti might have been required.
In order to break through in Martial Arts, he also spent one Exchange Star to exchange for twelve hours of dual-character usage. But since this did not limit the characters used, he simultaneously controlled Pete and Loren, Linen and Loren.
During the battle, he also spent one Exchange Star to trade for Pete’s ’Life Holy Grace’ for three hours.
There went four Exchange Stars; of course, the main event was next.
He also traded for Linen’s [Whispering Lock], costing eleven Exchange Stars.
Then he used one Exchange Star to trade for three hours of usage for the [Whispering Lock].
That’s sixteen Exchange Stars.
So back and forth, even though He Ao is so calculated, he only has 18 Exchange Stars left.
Just barely enough to trade for the [Abnormal], not even for its usage ti.
He Ao took a deep breath, gazing at the densely packed Character Cards within his field of view.
Joey’s [Prival Fla], Vian’s [King of Nightfall], Nell’s [Arrogant Person], Pete’s [Saint], Jess’s [Sea-Deep Glimr], Cito’s [Dream Phantom], Yiluo’s [Eternal Obsession], Linen’s [Whispering Lock], Suote’s [Circular City], Paxiu’s [Night Peeping].
Adding Loren’s [Abnormal] this ti, there are eleven Character Cards in total.
This is his accumulation across these dungeons, but not every card can be used.
Among them, seven have been exchanged: [Prival Fla], [King of Nightfall], [Arrogant Person], [Saint], [Sea-Deep Glimr], [Dream Phantom], and [Whispering Lock].
The remaining four cards, [Eternal Obsession], [Circular City], [Night Peeping], and [Abnormal] have not been exchanged.
These four Character Cards are not cheap, with one at nine stars, another at eleven, one at thirteen, and another at eighteen stars.
If he truly encounters a situation where he’ll need to use these Character Cards, eighteen Exchange Stars can’t provide full assurance.
He can only hope that this system settlent will grant a few more Exchange Stars.
He Ao took a deep breath, and the Character Card interface retreated from his field of view, replaced by lines of text, marking the system’s settlent interface,
