About Loss of Control

"Is it a good thing?" Klein was taken aback, immediately reflecting on the reason Lin Ruo said so.

He never underestimates the evil of human nature, just as he believes in the goodness of human nature. If the law of Indestructibility becomes widely known, then those who aspire for promotion but can't find the corresponding materials might direct their attention to the same source. The cruelty of such an extraordinary realm could be multiplied several times.

"It's cruel..." Klein sighed and asked, "What does losing control have to do with the source of extraordinary abilities?"

"You should be familiar with the creation myth. There's a simple point in it—everything originates from the same source," Lin Ruo replied, assuming Klein's familiarity with the creation myth.

While the creation myth contains partly accurate content, most of it is fictional and doesn't need to be repeated.

"This view can't be considered completely correct, but it's not entirely wrong either, because all extraordinary abilities in this world do indeed stem from the one and only Creator," Lin Ruo paused, not providing a more detailed description, unsure if the further content would be too much and overwhelm Klein.

"Extraordinary abilities don't belong to humans. In a way, humans' actions of harnessing extraordinary abilities for power can be seen as stealing. And stealing what doesn't belong to oneself comes at a price, including loss of control," Lin Ruo explained, not delving into the true nature of losing control. After all, he couldn't reveal that it exists because the underlying rules of this world are insane and chaotic. But his words were not entirely false, as humans do gain extraordinary power through potions, which can be seen as a form of theft.

Just like how the essence of "Acting" is a form of deception.

"Stealing..." Klein suddenly thought of the existence of Sequence 0. If all extraordinary abilities come from the so-called Creator, then what humans are doing can indeed be considered as stealing the Creator's power. "So that's the case."

It must be said that the amount of information Lin Ruo revealed in those few words was a bit overwhelming for Klein.

"Okay, let's end this topic here." Lin Ruo looked at Klein thoughtfully, noticing his stunned state, and coughed softly, changing the subject. "Since I've talked about the source of losing control, let me now explain the different situations of losing control."

"Losing control is generally classified into five types," Lin Ruo recalled various instances from the original work and explained, "The first three are directly related to using potions. The first type is losing control due to consuming potions of higher levels."

"Generally speaking, whether it's an ordinary person or an extraordinary person, if they want to advance, they can only take potions step by step, starting from Sequence 9. However, there are sometimes special situations where ordinary people directly take Sequence 8 or Sequence 7 potions, or an extraordinary person of Sequence 9 takes Sequence 5 or Sequence 6 potions. In such cases, there's a high probability of experiencing loss of control."

"Once someone loses control, they may either suffer mental death, transform into a monster, or undergo a drastic personality change, becoming cold, cruel, impulsive, irritable... or even develop a mental disorder and become a walking monster," Lin Ruo explained with a sigh. "In any case, when a Beyonder loses control, they are no longer their original selves, but mere monsters within their own bodies."

Upon hearing this, Klein was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "What about the second type?"

"The second type is when a half-Beyonder, who is born with some extraordinary characteristics, takes a potion that is not in their sequence. Well, in fact, the third type is similar to the second," Lin Yan continued to explain.

"In this world, there are individuals born as half-extraordinary people. Some of them possess pure talent, while others inherit corresponding characteristics from their extraordinary parents. For these individuals, if they try to become extraordinary without taking the Sequence 9 potions of their respective series, they may experience mental problems or, at worst, lose control on the spot."

"The third situation of losing control is similar to the second, but it occurs when a true Beyonder takes a potion that is not within their sequence," Lin Ruo elaborated. "Generally speaking, once a potion sequence is chosen, it cannot be changed. There's only one way forward. If an Extraordinary takes a potion outside their sequence, although the probability of immediate loss of control is low, they will become mentally unstable and can no longer advance. Otherwise, they will almost certainly lose control."

Pausing briefly, Lin Ruo hesitated and added, "However, this is not an absolute rule because there are similar pathways within the Beyonder path. Beyonders with similar pathways can undergo sequence replacement within certain limits. For example, the Darkness pathway , Death pathway , and Warrior pathway share similarities in their sequences. Therefore, an Extraordinary from the Darkness pathway can take a potion from the Death pathway with the appropriate sequence and complete the transition."

"This is also a secret that most Beyonders aren't aware of..."

Lin Ruo truly possesses knowledge that surpasses that of ordinary Beyonders.

Upon hearing Lin Ruo's words, Klein couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He was about to ask about other similar pathways when he heard Lin Ruo say:

"Klein, you must remember that once your extraordinary path in this world is determined, your corresponding enemies and friends will also be determined."

"This is incredibly important, very crucial!"

As Lin Ruo spoke, his voice became more serious and solemn than ever.

This made Klein glance at him a few more times, although he didn't notice anything specific. Nonetheless, he nodded solemnly and said, "I'll remember."

"Just keep that in mind. Well, let's continue with the introduction of the remaining two types of losing control!" Lin Ruo's tone returned to its usual relaxed state as he proceeded to explain the fourth and fifth types of losing control to Klein.

The fourth type involves being influenced by the mental imprint left in the potion after consuming it. If one advances hastily without completely eliminating the potion's influence, it can result in loss of control. The fifth type pertains to one's daily life, such as listening to forbidden information, watching forbidden content, being enchanted by a mysterious entity, or experiencing intense emotional stimuli that lead to loss of control.

After explaining all the conditions that can cause losing control, Lin Ruo looked at a visibly frightened Klein and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. Losing control is not inevitable, especially at lower sequences. The probability of losing control is quite low."

"If you're interested in this aspect, you can become a low-sequence Extraordinary first. Once you personally experience the changes and dangers brought by the potion, you can then consider further promotion."
