Mystery: Beginning with the Pope of Night

Truman stayed in the Church of Destiny for a long time, and even visited the so-called headquarters of Destiny and met a demigod-level pope.

"The man in the ring" is the fourth sequence of the "destiny" path. In the "gift" system, the source of divinity is naturally the "ring of fate".

And even a tiny bit of the divinity of the "old days" is unimaginable.

So in many cases crossing the threshold of divinity means complete physical and mental breakdown.

The total population of this entire "fateful" civilization is even larger than the earth today, but being able to see a demigod is already a blessing.

"I didn't expect to see a demigod of the 'gift' system." Truman observed this demigod with great interest for a while, completely draining his value.

Just like this, several years passed by in a hurry.

On a morning that was no different from usual, Kono put on the "desire-free badge" and walked into the law enforcement bureau.

"Hello, captain!" Many law enforcers stood at attention and saluted when they saw Kono.

"Hello to you too!" Kono nodded with a chuckle and returned to his office.

After believing in dreams, Kono struggled and weighed several times, and finally chose his own job based on spiritual direction.

This also resulted in his subsequent career journey being almost smooth, rising step by step.

None of the various clues involved in the investigation could escape his spiritual perception, which allowed his accumulation of contributions in the Law Enforcement Bureau to reach a terrifying level, becoming the youngest captain.

Recently, he became the youngest "sheriff" again.

It's just that as a dream believer, he doesn't have the confidence to face the Church of Fate. He keeps pushing and pushing, otherwise he would have been qualified to step onto the altar of promotion.

"Alas," Kono sighed in distress and prayed subconsciously, "Supreme Lord of Dreams, please guide my way forward..."

It was just the most ordinary prayer, and there was no preparation for a sacrificial ceremony, but this time it got a dreamy response.

"Sequence eight, illusionist, illusory favored one..."

Gu...

Kono's Adam's apple rolled, and the huge surprise overwhelmed his mind. He forcibly suppressed his curiosity about the new sequence, and returned to his new home after a long day.

"Father!" As soon as Kono entered the residential area where he was, a believer saluted him.

Kono twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.

He is now also the only priest and "shepherd" of the Dream Church, managing a church that has just started to gain momentum.

He ignored these believers and quickly entered the place where the dream statue was enshrined.

He prepared a simple prayer ceremony, knelt before the statue of the god, and prayed devoutly for blessings.

"...the master of dreams, the supreme being beyond all eternity..."

There were dots of radiance scattered on the dream statue, and eventually it gathered into a storm, pouring all of it into Kono's body.

Buzz!

As if under the pressure of infinite will, Kono only felt that a sea of ​​dreams appeared in front of him, which was countless times more magnificent than the infinite starry sky.

There are countless dream bubbles floating on the sea, and all dream bubbles are surrounded by an endless light and shadow.

As if the Lord of Dreams had come in person, the Lord of Dreams in the form of a mythical creature surpassed the limits of what Kono could imagine.

It was also because of this glance that he truly became the Sequence 8 of the Dream Path, the "Illusionist".

Kono broke away from a certain state and looked directly at the mythical form of the Lord of Dreams. He could not help but feel infinite respect for that supreme being.

At the same time, all the information about the "Illusionist" flooded into his mind.

"Illusion?"

This is the foundation of the "Illusionist". At this stage, the Extraordinary's spirituality has once again made a qualitative leap, becoming the strongest among all known ways, so much so that it can be combined with illusions to affect the real world.

The "real world" here includes but is not limited to the enemy's five senses and spirituality!

"Five senses, spiritual control..."

"The boundary between reality and reality!?"

The five senses and spiritual manipulation can blind the senses of most low-sequence extraordinary people. Only those extraordinary people whose spirituality is higher than that of "illusionists" can detect the problem.

And this "boundary between virtuality and reality" is the strongest ability of the "Illusionist".

"Illusion always makes reality?" Kono was stunned. "Using illusion magic to simulate gunshot damage, can this damage actually make people feel pain?"

"If I use illusion to make the enemy's brain think that he is dead, he will die?"

If your vision sees you being shot, your smell senses the smell of your own blood, your touch senses the pain caused by a real shooting, and even your spirituality is deceived, then you have been shot.

"So powerful..." Kono's Adam's apple rolled as he compared the eight "mendicant monks" in the destiny path sequence he had learned.

"I seem to be stronger than him..."

"The 'Illusionist' is indeed very powerful." Truman took out the Book of Dreams and wrote down his observation data.

All changes in Kono's body are also under his monitoring.

"It can basically reach the level of a normal Sequence Seven, but it consumes too much spiritual energy."

"This can be restored quickly by praying to Mew."

The "Dream" path has basically taken shape here in Truman. Except for sequence nine "Prayer", which is a stage that establishes a deep connection with dreams and is not outstanding in intensity, the other sequences are comparable to the best of the corresponding sequences in each path. .

Now Kono's understanding of "Illusionist" is still too superficial. Only after he has a deeper understanding will he be able to perform various tricks.

For example, after injuring the enemy's right hand with a firearm, the five senses are changed to make the enemy think that the wound exists on the left hand.

This leaves real wounds untreated and the enemy quickly falls into a weakened state.

He even holds a real gun and simulates a fake gun in the enemy's senses. The two guns are fired at the same time, making the enemy unable to tell which bullet is real and which is weak.

This is the meaning of "virtual and real boundaries".

The fundamental reason why the "Dream" pathway can be so powerful is because of the four authorities contained in the Book of Dreams.

"Dreams," "Cause and Effect," "All Things" and even a kind of power that Truman has not yet fully developed.

If there are extraordinary characteristics as support and the four powers are regarded as unique, Truman can even create four extraordinary paths!

And the intensity of today's "Dream Path" is equivalent to the combination of four paths!

Just imagine what the concept would be if the five paths of "God" and the three paths of "mystery" were combined?

Or more directly, a "Origin Castle" path and a "Chaos Sea" path?

That's what's really fun.

"Develop believers, select the devout among them, and grant them the title of 'Prayers'."

Truman sends an oracle to Kono.
