On the morning of July 8th, the entire population of Atlantis was either summoned or spontaneously gathered.
Some traveled a long distance from their villages to the towns as soon as dawn broke.
Others arrived at the city square half an hour early, waiting to watch the Emperor's coronation ceremony.
Without exception, a large silver-white screen hung before them, and they were curious about what kind of technological product could show the coronation process in Caesar Port.
Although gathered together, the situation in the south and north was not quite the same.
The southern part of the Southern Continent was Atlantis' core ruling area. Hobert enjoyed high prestige here, and everyone was excited and thrilled to hear that the King was to be crowned Emperor.
After gathering, everyone was also very interested in discussing the great victories achieved before.
The north, however, had just been occupied, and even the land had not yet been divided. People were generally indifferent to the coronation ceremony. Many were annoyed by being summoned together so early in the morning, but they did not dare to object to the village chief.
At eight o'clock in the morning, images suddenly appeared on all the silver-white screens in Atlantis.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and after expressing their disbelief and amazement, they began to seriously watch the images on the screen.
In a spacious and tall hall, people in gorgeous costumes were all looking outside.
Outside the hall door, a figure wearing a solemn black robe was slowly approaching. He looked very young, with a solemn face, and his majestic aura made the people in front of the screen afraid to breathe deeply.
This was not some "advanced technology." It was a "Beyonder Broadcast" conducted by Hobert using Beverly's connection to the "Nation of Disorder."
First, Beverly prayed to the "Creator" and presented the images and sounds she saw to the "Nation of Disorder." Then, Hobert used the power of the "Nation of Disorder" to project the images and sounds onto screens everywhere.
In Angel City's square, after the shock, someone suddenly said, "That's our King!"
"Long live the King!"
"Not the King, our Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
… …
Caesar Port, Paz Palace.
This coronation ceremony was quite special. After Hobert and the two Queens took their places, no archbishop came forward. Instead, a master of ceremonies with a melodious voice began to read out Hobert's achievements: "…He came from the wealthy Northern Continent, gave up his comfortable life, and led the people of the Southern Continent to gradual prosperity!
"He eliminated the invaders, eliminated the local nobles who exploited the people, and distributed the land to the people."
"He promulgated a code based on 'respect for personality,' allowing every citizen to enjoy basic rights."
"He unified the Southern Continent, completely ending colonial rule and war…"
Hobert's request for this speech was to be "as straightforward as possible," because this day was to be a "national broadcast," and most of Spectator had not received much education.
Only by making the people understand His achievements could they sincerely support Him becoming Emperor, which would count as the relevant description of "corresponding sacrificial rituals spread across different cities with the participation of the vast majority of the people" in the ascension ceremony.
The master of ceremonies finally said: "…All the people support you in becoming Emperor, and the countries of the Northern Continent are willing to submit to the Emperor's majesty.
"Please be crowned and become our Emperor, the new master of this world!"
The officials and demigods present knelt on one knee together: "Please be crowned immediately and rule this land!"
The angels, led by Medici, also bowed and asked Hobert to be crowned.
The reactions of the heads of the four major countries in the Northern Continent were somewhat bewildered because this was not quite the same as a normal coronation ceremony.
Previously, Atlantis' foreign affairs personnel had not communicated with them about the details of the coronation.
However, Queen Ethel of Feynapotter reacted first and immediately knelt on one knee to Hobert: "Please be crowned immediately."
The heads of the smaller countries also reacted, immediately following suit, kneeling on one knee and shouting the same words as Ethel.
The King of the Feysac Kingdom and the Prime Minister of the Intis Republic hesitated for a moment, then also knelt on one knee, requesting Hobert's coronation.
Jevington II of the Loen Kingdom was the last to react, and he also immediately knelt on one knee.
The members of the Church were somewhat embarrassed. They also did not know how Hobert wanted to be crowned. For them, not being crowned in a church was already disrespectful to religion, and they could not possibly kneel to Hobert.
Only Klein and Roselle did not feel embarrassed standing there. The two were also sighing in their hearts: This guy really knows how to stir things up. Is he going to do the "three refusals, three acceptances"?
At this time, in Angel City, in Rockville City, grassroots officials sincerely hoped that Hobert would be crowned, and many people knelt on one knee with tears in their eyes, requesting Hobert's coronation.
In the palace, in many cities of the Southern Continent, there was enthusiastic cheering.
Only after the cheers subsided did Hobert rise from the throne.
Another master of ceremonies presented a crown made of "Order Crystal" on a tray. Although this crown was not very gorgeous, the Transcendent present felt that the crown's status was very high!
Hobert took the crown with both hands and said to everyone very seriously: "The Atlantis Empire is everyone's empire, and it needs each of us to support, build, and cherish it!
"I will try my best to be a good Emperor, you will try your best to be good officials, and the people in front of the screen will try their best to be good workers and farmers, each doing their job and jointly supporting a strong empire!"
Amid everyone's applause, Hobert placed the crown on his head: "I declare that in the Atlantis Empire, money and power are not the criteria for distinguishing personality. No one is born noble, and no one is born lowly! After today, no one needs to kneel anymore!"
The officials applauded vigorously. Almost all the senior officials in Atlantis came from humble backgrounds, but they now manage a vast empire.
Although this is inseparable from the fact that the bureaucratic system was mainly built by Hobert, it is enough to show that officials do not necessarily have to be nobles!
Hobert said solemnly, wearing the crown: "I declare that in the Atlantis Empire, as long as people are diligent, they will have a good life. The fruits of labor will not be exploited."
Everyone applauded again.
Hobert said: "I declare that in the Atlantis Empire, sin will eventually be punished! Justice will last forever in this land!"
The officials in the hall shouted: "Long live the Emperor!"
So, in the sounds of "Long live," the new pilgrimage began.
Everyone saw that the Emperor crowned himself. The authority he obtained was the result of his own efforts. He did not need the endorsement of the Church, and the people also recognized it very much!
At Hobert's beckoning, the Emperor's brief coronation ceremony officially ended.
Immediately afterward, Hobert began to crown the two Queens, which also showed that the Queen's power was granted by the Emperor!
This time, neither Fors nor Audrey was as excited as they were when they became Queens last time, because with Hobert's achievements, becoming Emperor was expected.
So, it was also expected that they would become Empresses.
After the brief coronation ceremony, a grand banquet will be held in Paz Palace to entertain those who came to attend the coronation ceremony.
Before that, the Emperor, the Queens, and the officials and VIPs all went to the side hall to rest.
Hobert asked the two Queens to entertain everyone. He himself changed into an easy-to-move outfit in the lounge and disappeared into the palace.
The next moment, Hobert appeared in the Suspicious Tomb he built. He glanced at the sky and felt some gazes.
After all, in the eyes of many people or gods, the location of the Suspicious Tomb is not a secret.
After entering the Suspicious Tomb, Hobert immediately entered the real mausoleum at the bottom of the lake using the internal teleportation array.
Just as He left the Suspicious Tomb, a ball of light suddenly exploded in mid-air, and streams of information surged out of thin air.
In this instant, the "Spiritual Barrier" hiding the Suspicious Tomb instantly turned into a string of rolling characters, revealing the Suspicious Tomb behind the "Spiritual Barrier."
For the "Hidden Sage," if Hobert becomes a god, then He will definitely help Roselle become a god if He has the opportunity.
Even if he doesn't help Roselle become a god, the "Hidden Sage" shouldn't even think about finding trouble with Roselle.
So, for the "Hidden Sage," this may be the last chance to change his destiny.
When that huge pyramid-shaped building was also about to become illusory, a string of rolling characters suddenly turned into pieces of wheat, pieces of herbs.
A kind figure holding an illusory infant appeared; this time, the Earth Mother was directly confronting the "Hidden Sage."
Last time, when Lilith, a King of Angels, was dealing with the "Hidden Sage," she discovered that although he only possessed the strength of a King of Angels on the surface, he seemed to have some connection with a Sefirah, allowing him to unleash the power of a True God in many aspects.
Fortunately, Trunsoest was quickly dealt with by Hobert, and the battle between the "Hidden Sage" and Lilith ended quickly; otherwise, Lilith might have been injured in the battle.
So this time, the Earth Mother simply took on the "Hidden Sage" herself.
After the Earth Mother blocked the "Hidden Sage," a layer of frost suddenly appeared on the Suspicious Tomb, and a full-length mirror suddenly appeared not far from the pyramid; the "Primordial Demoness," whose hair resembled venomous snakes, revealed herself.
Under Hobert's series of blows, the "Demoness Sect" had almost lost all of its strongholds, especially during the Beyonder War that had just ended, when the "Demoness Sect's" extraordinary power suffered another heavy blow.
Fortunately, the "Primordial Demoness" had foreseen this and secretly cultivated a group of believers on the Rorsted Archipelago, where the official Beyonder forces were relatively weak.
Otherwise, she would probably collapse as soon as she appeared in the real world.
For the "Primordial Demoness," the losses of the "Demoness Sect" alone wouldn't have driven her to desperately fight Hobert.
But she feared that Hobert would not let her go after becoming a god, especially since Hobert knew her hiding place, making it difficult for the "Primordial Demoness" to maintain a neutral stance.
Just as she was about to launch a further attack on the pyramid, the pyramid suddenly disappeared from the real world, and the morning sky instantly turned into night. In the starlight, a surge of peaceful power descended, blocking the "Primordial Demoness."
The next second, the sun reappeared in the sky, with a faint azure light in the sunlight. The Eternal Blazing Sun and the God of Steam and Machinery appeared in mid-air one after another, but did not immediately take action.
Because of Roselle, neither of them strongly supported Hobert becoming the new "Black Emperor."
However, because the Earth Mother and the Evernight Goddess steadfastly supported Hobert, they were prepared to observe the situation. Their fighting spirit wasn't high; they would try to stop him if they had the chance, and if not, they wouldn't bother.
Opposite the two gods, dark clouds gathered. In a storm that blotted out the sky and the sun, the Lord of Storms arrived.
Beside the storm, there also appeared a tall tower with bronze-colored eyes, stacked like books, layer upon layer. The God of Knowledge and Wisdom also arrived.
These two gods were also wary of each other, but they stood opposite the Eternal Blazing Sun and the God of Steam and Machinery, adopting a confrontational stance.
If the Eternal Blazing Sun and the God of Steam didn't take action, the Lord of Storms and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom didn't plan to actively provoke a battle.
… …
Inside the true mausoleum beneath the lake.
After confirming that this place would not be disturbed by the divine war not far away, Hobert arrived at his enormous seat and requested that "The Fool" lift the seal on the Genie.
The wick burned on its own, and that blurry, distorted figure reappeared.
Hobert placed the Genie on the armrest of the chair: "I'm counting on you."
The "Genie" glanced at the sky. He seemed to sense the gaze from "The Fool." He seemed slightly stunned before saying in a majestic voice: "No problem."
Hobert took out two portions of the "Prince of Abolition's" Beyonder characteristics. The potion for advancing to godhood could no longer be neutralized with any supplementary ingredients.
Because Hobert had already accommodated the Uniqueness in advance, he used his spirituality to wrap the two sealed artifacts. Under the effect of the Uniqueness, the two Beyonder characteristics collided slightly, and the solid characteristics gradually turned into a jelly-like substance, eventually becoming a black liquid.
Hobert took a deep breath and reconsidered the "Black Emperor's" ritual: to possess a kingdom belonging to oneself, to link one's name with the title of Emperor, to become common knowledge among the populace, and also to establish a set of strict and complex rules that violate normal circumstances, including architectural style. Then, to drive the populace to secretly build nine mausoleums similar to pyramids, and then to enter one of them, and in corresponding sacrificial rituals spread across different cities, in which the vast majority of the populace participated, to consume the Sequence 0 potion.
At the same time, he finally confirmed the preparations for the ritual. First of all, he already possessed a kingdom belonging to himself.
After more than a year of efforts by grassroots officials, the fact that "Hobert is the King" was already common knowledge among the people of the southern part of the Southern Continent, and after today's "live broadcast," the common knowledge that "Hobert is the King" was smoothly transformed into "Hobert is the Emperor."
Before the start of the war, the demands of the countries of the Northern Continent on Hobert and Atlantis were to "restore normal political order." In their view, land division, suppression of the nobility, establishment of new political systems, and so on were all "rules that violate normal circumstances."
Finally, today's "live broadcast" was equivalent to a ritual in which the majority of the populace participated.
Thinking of these things, Hobert felt slightly relieved.
He beckoned to the black liquid, and the potion flew into his mouth and was consumed.
Instantly, Hobert found that his body was becoming illusory. At this moment, he was transforming in the direction of the "Shadow of Order." The next second, his consciousness seemed to disconnect from the real world, becoming extremely ethereal.
The nine mausoleums that had a close connection with him were like islands in the sea of nothingness, forming a part of the entire rule. The shouts of "Long live the Emperor" from the populace in the squares and towns were countless beacons, jointly anchoring Hobert, preventing him from completely detaching from reality and becoming a part of the "Shadow of Order."
A few minutes after Hobert's consciousness disconnected from reality, clusters of grayish-white mist suddenly began to emerge from the cracks in the bricks of the mausoleums.
The mist seemed to have been present in the mausoleums all along, only erupting after triggering a certain mechanism.
Klein, who was watching Hobert's advancement, immediately felt that the mist were very familiar, bearing some resemblance to the mist in the "Sefirah Castle." This should be the "arrangement of the Celestial Worthy" that Hobert had mentioned.
Klein recalled that it didn't seem like such a scene had appeared when he destroyed George III's ritual before.
But then he thought that George III's ritual was destroyed shortly after it began, and it might not have reached this stage before George III exploded.
After waiting until the grayish-white mist formed a human figure, the "Genie" glanced again in the direction of "The Fool's" gaze, and then suddenly waved his arm. A space in the mausoleum suddenly became illusory, and the entrance to the spirit world appeared in the real world just like that.
Immediately afterward, Klein felt the Sefirah Castle tremble slightly. The feeling was as if he was sitting comfortably in a chair when suddenly several burly men lifted him up, chair and all.
At this time, Klein sensed that he could terminate this process, but at the same time, he understood the "Genie's" operation, so he simply remained highly focused, allowing a force to "lift him away."
Soon, in that illusory spirit world, a tall and mysterious castle appeared, which was precisely the "Sefirah Castle."
The "Genie," using the grayish-white mist and his own seal, actually "connected" to the "Sefirah Castle!"
It was just that the "Sefirah Castle" was actually still there. Even in his prime, the "Genie" might not have been able to move the "Sefirah Castle."
What happened just now was more like the entire spirit world moving, finding the location of the "Sefirah Castle," and presenting this Sefirah.
Because of the surging changes in the spirit world, Klein had the feeling that he was moving.
But the "Genie" had no way to perform any operations on the "Sefirah Castle," only using the symbolism of the "Sefirah Castle" like borrowing a Sealed Artifact's powers.
The appearance of the "Sefirah Castle" plunged the grayish-white figure into a brief daze, as if that mysterious castle was more attractive.
… …
Hobert's consciousness was walking in a long, illusory river. After what seemed like a very, very long time, light finally appeared in front of him.
In an instant, everything around him was different. That light gradually grew larger, eventually occupying his entire field of vision.
The intense glare was fleeting. After it disappeared, Hobert's vision became colorful, with beautiful clusters of light forming and huge clusters of dust condensing together.
Soon, some smaller lights appeared, and dust also formed some irregular rock bodies.
At this time, Hobert finally understood what he was seeing: the process of the universe forming from the beginning to the basic formation of galaxies.
Immediately afterward, Hobert also understood why he could see these scenes: the authority of the "Black Emperor" had participated in the transformation of the universe's environment!
After becoming a god, Hobert became part of the operating rules of this world. Although it was a very small part, it also meant that he had completely broken away from the concept of a living being and become a true god!
The next moment, Hobert suddenly realized that he couldn't keep watching, or by the time he finished watching the whole process of the solar system's formation and went back, the day lilies would be cold.
He tried to establish contact with his body and his mausoleum. Suddenly, nine huge spots of light appeared in front of him.
Those should be his nine mausoleums, but in front of the nine light spots, there was a faint dark mist blocking the way.
Just as Hobert was considering how to get past these mists, small clusters of light suddenly appeared in the mist.
When Hobert saw those small clusters of light, he could immediately understand them. Some of these clusters of light were part of the 'Order' that Hobert had formulated; some were corresponding imprints in the spirit world when land was divided in a certain region; and some were the tears of joy of someone in the Atlantis Empire who had rekindled hope for life.
These clusters of light, like stars, gathered together to form a "Starlight Bridge" leading to the nine huge light spots.
Hobert walked forward on this avenue, and he seemed to hear voices of "Long live the Emperor!" in his ears.
The black mist parted, and he finally arrived at the location of the nine huge light spots. In the center of the nine light spots was a mysterious black chair.
Hobert suddenly realized that this chair seemed to represent the root of everything, the essence of everything.
He slowly sat on it, and for a moment, he felt that all the rules were in his hands.
At this time, Hobert truly understood why 'Celestial Worthy' coveted the authority of the 'Son of Chaos'.
Just the 'Black Emperor' pathway alone could see 'Order' and, to a certain extent, reshape 'Order'.
This should be the most core part of the ability that the 'Son of Chaos' inherited from the 'Original Creator'.
This ability first showed signs when Hobert became Sequence 9. One of the abilities of the 'Lawyer' was to more easily discover the weakest point of an item.
But this ability had not been improved for a long time. Finally, when he became a god, this ability 'exploded', and he could see the 'Order' of this universe!
He took a deep breath, and when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he had already returned to the mausoleum.
At this time, 'Genie' was still using the 'Sefirah Castle' to contend with the 'Celestial Worthy's' arrangement.
Hobert's illusory body instantly solidified, and a fleeting, faint black ripple spread out around Hobert in an instant.
At the moment of being affected by the black wave, the shadows of the world's rules became clearly visible. Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, 'Genie' made the 'Celestial Worthy's' arrangement chaotic. The human-shaped shadow formed by the gray-white mist faded and eventually became illusory.
The light golden figure of 'Genie' clenched his fist, and the gray mist was immediately 'tampered' into a layer of dust.
At the moment of becoming dust, these gray-white dust particles formed a phantom face, roaring hoarsely at 'Genie'.
But the next moment, the dust that made up the illusory face fell to the ground due to the sudden increase in gravitational influence.
'Genie' also returned to the lamp in the shape of a kettle.
…
Almost in an instant, the black wave spread to the vicinity of the 'Suspicious Tomb', and the Beyonder abilities of the four gods who were fighting fell into varying degrees of 'disorder'.
The rolling stream of information suddenly turned into sheets of paper filled with words; clumps of wheat suddenly bloomed with morning glories; petrified objects turned into paper-tie trees, flowers, and animals; a pure spring emerged from the surging darkness.
The 'Primordial Demoness' and the 'Hidden Sage' were slightly stunned.
Without any hesitation, one turned into a mirror and the other turned into a ball of light and exploded, disappearing instantly.
Not far away, the four gods, including the Eternal Blazing Sun, who were confronting each other, looked together at the distant lake, as if they had finally found the true location of Hobert's apotheosis.
The next second, the Eternal Blazing Sun and the God of Steam left, followed by the Lord of Storms and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
The Earth Mother and the Evernight Goddess also returned to the Astral World.
Only the traces of the gods' past battles remained around the 'Suspicious Tomb'.
…
The black wave spread to Angel City, and everyone's movements became very uncoordinated for a moment. Raising a hand became raising a foot, walking became a big jump, turning the head became sitting down.
But this feeling was fleeting, and few people could realize that something was wrong.
The black wave continued to spread. In Caesar, the angels of Atlantis suddenly realized that a new god had been born!
In the Northern Continent, the remaining 'Balancers' of the Loen Kingdom and the Feynapotter Kingdom both felt that they had a new object of allegiance.
The black wave instantly spread to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'. In a dark ancient castle, Amon, who was sitting on the ground and stabilizing his state, suddenly opened his eyes: "He has become a god!"
At the same time, in the 'True Creator's' Divine Kingdom, Adam and the True Creator, who were merging, looked at the Giant King's Court, the direction of the entrance to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'.
Adam solemnly announced: "The new Black Emperor has descended!"
…
In the mausoleum where Hobert was located, he originally wanted to go and chop people after his advancement, but he found that it was impossible at all. His spirituality was dissipating very seriously, and he had to stabilize his state first.
So he made a "safe" gesture to the "Fool" over there and tried to adjust his state.
"The Fool" Klein resealed the "Genie" and left from here, giving Hobert an undisturbed environment.
Just as it became extremely quiet in the mausoleum, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded in Hobert's ear: "You are the 'Black Emperor' in the best condition so far."
Hobert turned his head and looked around. In the "shadow" of the mausoleum, a cloud of illusory mist appeared.
The next moment, Hobert was startled, because he was meditating at this time, and if he didn't stay focused, his spirituality would definitely be affected.
But soon, Hobert was surprised to find that he had "split into two".
Originally, he thought that the "potion effect" of the potion hadn't passed yet, and his consciousness and body were about to separate again, but the gradually restored spirituality made Hobert realize that his "shadow" could also have independent thinking.
Of course, this thinking was under the command of Hobert's main body. For example, now Hobert could distract himself to observe the thick fog, while the thinking in his body was still converging his spirituality to make his state better.
This was a very wonderful feeling. Hobert could command two bodies to do two different things at the same time without affecting each other at all.
Hobert didn't continue to think about it, but asked the thick fog: "Are you 'Uncertain Mist'?"
"Yes." The other party said: "We have met once before."
"That time almost killed me!"
"That should be your honor." Uncertain Mist said: "You escaped under the gaze of a Great Old Dominator, although you borrowed the power of a god."
Then he said again: "We have limited time, let's talk about something more important!
"I can feel that 'Genie' is next to you. He is very dangerous to you. If not handled properly, you will easily be swallowed by him.
"Let me handle it. Otherwise, you will definitely be affected by him.
"I'll tell you a ritual that can sacrifice him to me, or allow me to briefly descend into the real world…"
Hobert directly interrupted Uncertain Mist's words: "As you said, let's talk about something more important.
"I really want to know, why the 'Black Emperor' is not affected by the Outer Deities before becoming a god, but after becoming a god, you can easily find me?"
He spread his hands and said again: "As far as I know, the previous two 'Black Emperors' and one 'Justiciar' seem to have been affected by you.
"It seems that after becoming a god, one hundred percent will be affected by the Outer Deities?"
"It's not that I want to influence you." Uncertain Mist replied: "It's just that when the 'Black Emperor' is in the 'shadow of order', although he can see the deep-level rules of this world, the 'Black Emperor's' level is not enough to protect himself at all times, and he will easily be affected by some influences.
"As for the 'Justiciar', there is no such influence, but Trunsoest needs me to find the 'Nation of Disorder', and he voluntarily accepted my influence."
Hobert slowly nodded: So it seems that being able to see the "Order" of this world is not all good. Hehe, if even the level of the gods is not enough, then this is a bit exaggerated. Obviously, this is a lie. The "Black Emperor" was actively influenced by "Uncertain Mist" through the "shadow".
Then He asked again: "Why have you always wanted to obtain the 'Genie'? As far as I know, even if you get it, you won't be able to break its seal or acquire its Beyonder characteristics, right?"
"Of course, it's to prevent it from endangering the safety of the real world," the thick fog said shamelessly.
Although he didn't hear the correct answer, Hobert seemed to understand the purpose of the Uncertain Mist.
Before this, Hobert had always found it strange, why could the "Uncertain Mist" contact him after he advanced to "Black Emperor"?
This is equivalent to being able to talk to the "Mother Tree of Desire" when advancing to "Abyss"; being able to chat with the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" when advancing to "Moon".
It's very likely that you'll be corrupted just by talking to them. Who can stand that?
It wasn't until just now that Hobert finally understood that if the "Celestial Worthy's" consciousness awakened in his body, then contacting the "Uncertain Mist," this Outer God should immediately be able to "awaken" and "recall" that he is the "Celestial Worthy".
Then the "Black Emperor" might immediately rush to the cosmos and merge with the "Uncertain Mist," or, with the help of the "Uncertain Mist," quickly find the "Nation of Disorder" and become an Outer God before merging with the "Uncertain Mist" in the cosmos.
In this way, the "Celestial Worthy" would soon possess most of the power of the "Son of Chaos".
Obviously, this is a kind of "fooling" of the "Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence".
However, the "Genie" has been hindering this process. Even if the "Uncertain Mist" doesn't have the "Celestial Worthy's" memories, His spirituality will make Him realize that he must control the "Genie".
After thinking about these things, Hobert said to the "Uncertain Mist": "I want to tell you something, I know the Ancient Sun God and know many secrets.
"So... well, our conversation can be more efficient."
Hobert said: "Let me sacrifice the 'Genie' to you, it's not of much use to me anyway.
"But I need to get some benefits, that's not too much to ask, right?"
The "Uncertain Mist" asked: "What benefits do you want?"
"Tell me the main authorities of the Outer Deities."
"Okay!" The "Uncertain Mist" said: "Let's make a deal..."
"No, no, no, no." Hobert interrupted Him again: "You probably didn't quite understand what I meant.
"Your previous answer was very disappointing. I must decide whether to make a deal with you after I get the answer."
The mist slowly rolled, obviously having never encountered such a problem, so it needed to think about it.
Although His consciousness is basically composed of divinity, this does not mean that He has no wisdom, it's just that His thinking is somewhat different from normal people.
After a few seconds, the "Uncertain Mist" said: "I'll say three Outer Deities' authorities first. If you are satisfied with the answer, we will make a deal. If you are not satisfied, the deal can be cancelled."
Hobert nodded: "Okay.
"The premise is that if there is anything I don't understand, I can ask questions at any time, and you must explain it clearly."
"Okay." The "Uncertain Mist" asked again: "Which three Outer Deities' authorities do you want to know?"
Hobert pondered for a moment before saying: "'Supernova Dominator', 'High-Dimensional Overseer', and 'Primordial Hunger'."
He had carefully considered these three Outer Deities. First of all, Hobert wasn't very sure about the authorities of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity", "Mother Tree of Desire", and "Uncertain Mist", but he knew them roughly.
The "Monarch of Decay" seemed to be related to "decay", the "Circle of Inevitability" seemed to be related to "fate", and the "Inextinguishable Ravings" sounded a bit like the "Hidden Sage", possibly related to "knowledge".
Obviously, even if Hobert became an Outer God, it was unlikely that he would devour the above six Outer Deities.
Then the similar authorities might be among the remaining three Outer Deities.
The "Uncertain Mist" began to explain: "The authority of the 'Supernova Dominator' is 'Weight, Density, and Fundamental Forces', and it possesses some characteristics such as the super-strong gravity of a star. He can not only 'explode' himself like a supernova, instantly producing a terrifying blow, but also make the target 'collapse' under infinite gravity and weight, letting the target's life and spirituality be wantonly scattered.
"'Weight and Density's symbolism can affect the River of Fate, leading to an extreme heaviness and attraction towards the end of fate."
"The authority of the 'High-Dimensional Overseer' is 'Dimensions, Fantasy, Observation, and Truth'. He can create other dimensions. It is said that in higher dimensions, He can easily attack the target's spirit body and affect the target's Beyonder characteristics.
"As for 'Truth', there's no need to explain it, right? He has the most understanding of the material world. Even through barriers, He can see many hidden things through different dimensions and perceive the essence of the world, similar to me.
"The core authority of 'Primordial Hunger' is 'Convergence, Hunger, and Devouring'. Convergence is the ravenous nature, seeking to consume everything, leaving nothing. It actively seeks out and draws in everything, almost like a Black Hole.
"'Devouring' is easier to understand. It is said that He can even 'devour' dissimilar authorities without losing all reason and digest them completely. I guess His 'Devouring' authority comes from 'Hunger', because the gap between these two authorities is very large."
Hobert slowly nodded: "Then are all the Outer Deities in the universe in the solar system?"
The "Uncertain Mist" replied: "Almost all of the strongest are here."
Hobert asked: "Are there other Outer Deities in the universe?"
"There are a lot, but the ones gathered are the strongest, who dare to approach and are likely to reach Pillar level strength."
Hobert pinched his chin and thought: The three Outer Deities, "Supernova Dominator" and others, also don't seem to have much connection with the authority of "Truth", "Distortion," or "Order".
But if you say there's no connection, it seems like there is some connection. The authority of "Supernova Dominator" seems to be the most Reality Oriented, being the Order of Reality, which is physics.
The Dimensional and Fantasy authorities of the "High-Dimensional Overseer" seems to have the element of "Truth".
Even Primordial Hunger seems to have similarity to Entropy and Blasphemy, an authority of the Chaos Mist.
This is troublesome!
Hobert realized: The authority of the "Son of Chaos" is a bit like the ability of the "Black Emperor" pathway. It seems to be able to cooperate well with any ability. But that's just cooperation. The only truly adjacent pathways are "Justiciar" and "Chaos Mist".
At this time, the "Uncertain Mist" reminded: "Time is running out. Can we complete the transaction first?"
"Sorry." Hobert spread his hands: "I am very dissatisfied with your answer and don't plan to make a deal."
Outer Deities are not good birds, trick them if you can.
The "Uncertain Mist" was not annoyed at all. Of course, it may be that He doesn't understand what annoyance is: "It's useless to go back on your word. In fact, when you agreed to try to trade with me, our transaction had already begun.
"Even if the transaction is not reached, I can easily affect you.
"As long as you sacrifice the Genie to me, I can consider letting you go!"
Hobert didn't buy it at all: "Since you are so powerful, come and get it yourself! You can't even take away a sealed artifact, and you still want to threaten me, who has the double protection of a barrier and the 'Nation of Disorder'?"
"The barrier will disappear one day." The voice of the "Uncertain Mist" became more and more ethereal: "The 'Nation of Disorder' cannot protect you forever..."
In the end, the thick fog disappeared from the "shadows".
Hobert thought to himself: This guy is good at making threats.
The reason why Hobert doesn't take the other party's threats to heart is because he knows too much from Adam and the "Genie" and is very clear about which of the "Uncertain Mist's" words are deceptive.
When communicating with Adam at the time, this "Visionary" did not intend to deceive Hobert.
The "Genie", after realizing that Hobert had seen the "Ancient Sun God", didn't dare to easily deceive Hobert. Even if he wanted to deceive, he would have to pay a lot of real information and deceive at a certain point.
After "sending away" the "Uncertain Mist", and his substitute had also restrained his spirituality, Hobert began to use his spirituality to observe the authorities and new abilities he had obtained.
