04)The Talk

(POV: Unknown)

13th January,Corpse Cathedral

Why are they doing this? Maybe they don't want a "God Almighty" when the doors to the apocalypse open? How can they divert the order so much? Was it Son of chaos? But he's not supposed to have will strong enough for such actions, Mysteries sealed his persona, maybe he utilized a 'loophole'. Even after numerous prophecies, I failed to know about reason for change, I guess I was overestimating our power over the world's flow. Not good enough, being an author is not only about the setup of event but even the 'knowledge' of the world, I still lack such prowess.

13th January, Meeting Hall, Royal Palace, Backlund

[General POV]

The 3rd Prince of Loen, Edessak Augustus who was also a newly promoted Sequence 8(Sheriff) was waiting for the King in meeting hall, as his thoughts wondered on how he would further advance on his path, the guards announced that the King had arrived, Edessak stood up.

He could feel it, now better than ever before, just being in his mere presence deactivated all his passive abilities and even suppressed his existence as a whole, and the King didn't even do so conciously, for it was the difference between their life stage, George was an Archangel, a being closest to True God, his mere presence warped the reality around him.

As Edessak bowed, George gave a polite smile and said, "So you're an Seq8 now, I thought it would take you atleast 2 weeks to digest your first potion" he mused. Edessak reciprocated his father's smile with one of his own, George continued "I hope you do understand, that this world is not one without madness and chaos, and even if you can evade all that, there would still be obstacles in your path. Now then, being a member of the royal family does maker your path much easier, atleast until Seq5, which I beleive you can reach in 3-5 years, but becoming a demigod, is a rather unique occurrence, even the one with all the resources may fail that stage, on the other hand if fated even a worm can end up becoming a demigod. But all power comes at a price, if you want to become a demigod you do have to contibute, you can either join the MI9 directly or create your own auxiliary MI9 organisation, the later is definetly a good alternative, especially for people like you and your aunt who don't enjoy restrictions"

He then handed Edessak a chart which showed the average prices of potion formulas and ingredients along with MI9 contribution exchange. George then handed him a black chest and explained "They house characteristics and supplementary ingredient for Sequence 7 'Interrogator' & 6 'Judge', only after advancing to Seq7, you can create your organisation, so after you advance, go to West borough, you'd know what to do then. I would be sending a Weapons Master for your training then". His Majesty then wished him goodbye and left Edessak on his own.

[POV: Edessak]

Dude that was stressful!

Why can't my life be like Klein he only had to deal Seq7 forgetful Dunn when he started his path, and here I'm meeting Archangel after a week.

⊙﹏⊙

So I have to create an organisation now, it's quite a good option to be truthful, as organisations are important to higher sequence beyonders as anchors. While overthinking my current situation, I reach my mansion, and if I'm not forgetting anything I should getting my own personal trainer sooner or later. Hopefully he's a nice guy.

(Golden Mansion, Backlund)

[POV: Edessak]

This world is truly chaotic, I remember thinking that Trainer I would get you'd probably a nice guy, but no! fate had to fuck me over!!! He's grumpy old man who makes me run till I fall dead, and being Seq8 with physical enhancement and still sucumbing to cramps all over is a lot, even my maids pity me now.The old man's a knight named Neil Smith, who was also a Seq7 "Weapons Master", he couldn't advance any further so he had decided to literally master all weapons in existence and become a master combatant. Thus he also began my weapons and instict training, and the later done by attacking with me all sorts of weapons and me dodging them pitifully.

However it did contribute in the digestion of my Sheriff potion as it's core is intuition and territorialism. Thus after more than a month of consuming the potion, I had finally digested it. So I called both my main guards to look over me as I advanced.

Sequence 7 'Interrogator'

Main Ingredients:

The horn of a Flash-patterned Black Snake.

Dust of a Lake Spirit.

Supplementary ingredients:

Golden Dracul blood 60 ml.

I took golden colour viscous drink into my hands and then gulped it down into one go.

I felt it the changes it brought, as my spirituality calmed down, I slowly opened my eyes and reviewed the change as Sequence 7 brought a qualitative change, my charisma and intuitive power increased drastically, and for the first time I gained offensive Beyonder powers,

Psychic Piercing: This ability doesn't interfere with thoughts and affect the spirit but directly attacks the target spirit body. They can put pressure on the target's spiritual body, condense the spirit, piercing the target's spiritual body.

Whip of Pain: It will make the target feel like electric currents are running through their spirit, connecting to form a whip of thorns that constantly beats their soul. This creates feelings of pain and numbness that originates from the depths of their brain making them be unable to resist the interrogator's questions. It can also make them tremble and fall on their knees depending on the intensity.

I had also gained a much enhanced mind and body adapted for combat.

I looked over at my main guards, we all smiled and they congratulated me, for my advancement, so did my tsundere trainer.

After nearly two months of my transmigration, I had become a Mid-sequence Beyonder.
