Calvin and the other six elders immediately gathered around upon hearing the door open.
They knew from Moira's expression that Elliot's "bribe" had succeeded.
Elder Bowen said, "It's unbelievable!"
When Elliot planned to "bribe" the 'Creator' to restore Moira to her normal state, Bowen thought Elliot's request was too difficult and the 'Creator' might not agree.
Last night, Bowen learned that the 'Creator' had granted Elliot's request, and he remained skeptical.
In fact, Bowen had always been somewhat doubtful of the 'Creator's' attitude, but after seeing Moira's recovery, Bowen's attitude towards the 'Creator' completely changed.
In Nonexistent Town, which family doesn't have a crazy relative?
Moira's awakening also gave all the elders hope of lifting the curse.
After everyone congratulated Elliot, Calvin asked, "Is there any sign of digestion of the 'Briber' potion?"
Elliot's emotions had been too volatile just now, and he was reminded by Calvin. He radiated his spirituality to sense the state of the potion, and after a while, he exclaimed with joy, "Half of it has been digested at once!"
Everyone was filled with envy. They had all experienced Sequence 7 and knew that from 'Briber' onwards, potion digestion required more time and acting.
And Elliot had digested half of it almost effortlessly!
...
Hobert carefully scrutinized Elliot. Judging from the other party's reaction, this shortcut was feasible.
Moreover, as long as he bribed "God" twice, he could basically digest the potion. With some acting in normal times, he could achieve a high degree of compatibility between the potion, astral body, and ether body, completing the thorough digestion process.
Then, Hobert looked at the sacrifice before him, a "specialty" from the Southern Continent: a characteristic of a "Werewolf" and a sealed artifact from the "Death" pathway.
Hobert's cost was a characteristic of a "Barbarian" and a "Lawyer", making this deal a huge profit!
He first held the "Werewolf" Beyonder characteristic in his palm. He remembered that if he used a Beyonder characteristic from the "Prisoner" pathway to perform divination, it would attract the attention of the "Mother Tree of Desire" and be contaminated without realizing it.
He wondered if shattering the "Werewolf" characteristic would attract the attention of the "Mother Tree of Desire".
After a little thought, Hobert felt it wouldn't. First of all, the "Nation of Disorder" could isolate most of the attention.
Secondly, he was using the power of "Chaos" to shatter the characteristic, which theoretically could isolate all mystical powers.
With two layers of isolation, the "Mother Tree of Desire" should not be able to sense the shattering of this "Werewolf" characteristic.
Even if the "Mother Tree of Desire" noticed it here, Hobert had enough home-field advantage in the "Nation of Disorder".
So Hobert immediately tried it, first wrapping the "Werewolf" characteristic with the "Power of Chaos" and then trying to shatter it.
Suddenly, a huge tree appeared before Hobert's eyes. It was full of vitality, constantly growing, flowering, and bearing fruit.
This tree floated in the dark universe, nurturing life on planet after planet.
On many planets, stones, magma, and even entire planets had life.
They intertwined and collided, constantly giving birth to new life and constantly destroying old life.
Hobert was startled. This should be the main body of the "Mother Tree of Desire"! Just as he was about to end his operation, the picture suddenly disappeared.
The "Werewolf" characteristic had been divided into three parts and began the process of re-condensing.
Hobert then realized that it was not the gaze of the "Mother Tree of Desire", but the influence of the "Mother Tree of Desire" on this characteristic. Before it was destroyed, it established some kind of connection with Hobert, allowing Hobert to see the past or present body of the "Mother Tree of Desire".
Seeing the past "Mother Tree of Desire" was more likely because Hobert did not feel the other party's "looking back". It was likely the state of the "Mother Tree of Desire" when it influenced this Beyonder characteristic.
Looking at the Beyonder characteristic divided into three, Hobert seemed to see three stacks of gold pounds.
Then he summoned the sealed artifact to his hand and quickly understood the ability of this sealed artifact using the authority of the "Nation of Disorder":
"It can hide in the spirit world for 60 seconds, temporarily avoiding enemy attacks; it can make the holder very agile; wearing this sealed artifact makes it easy to encounter ancient ruins or tombs."
The negative effects are: "You must not move when hiding in the spirit world, or you will be completely lost in the spirit world; you are easily hated by undead creatures; the wearer will increasingly like to tell ghost stories, and the plots in the ghost stories are likely to happen to the wearer."
Hobert first thought that this sealed artifact was probably comparable to a Grade 3 sealed artifact.
He threw the sealed artifact onto the stone platform. This sealed artifact was not very useful to Hobert. Perhaps its greatest use was that it "easily encountered ancient ruins or tombs." And there were considerable risks. He should put it in the "Nation of Disorder" first and take it out when it was useful.
Back in the real world, Hobert stretched and looked at the drizzle hitting the window, quietly enjoying the state of emptying his brain and body.
At noon, after Hobert had lunch with Fors, he returned to his bedroom and read a novel for a while. At about 2:50, he locked the door, closed the curtains, and prepared for the "Tarot Club Meeting".
At three o'clock sharp, Hobert's vision was occupied by gray fog, and the giant palace appeared in his vision. A new round of the "Tarot Club Meeting" began.
Klein, who had activated his spiritual vision, immediately noticed the change in "Emperor", which greatly surprised Klein: Emperor was already Sequence 7?
"Justice" Audrey, "Hanged Man" Alger, and "Sun" Derrick did not immediately notice the change in Hobert.
Audrey was about to greet him happily, but Alger preempted her and said, "Mr. Fool, I have collected a total of 19 pages of Roselle's diary this time.
"Here, I must thank you for sending your attendant to help us eliminate Qilangos. These diary entries are the reward I should pay."
Klein smiled faintly, "This is in line with the principle of equivalent exchange."
Alger's attitude was somewhat humble, "My current memory limit is six pages, please allow me to give them to you in installments."
Klein, shrouded in thick gray fog, nodded slightly, "No problem."
Then came the "expression" process, and the part where Klein began to read the diary.
Audrey, sitting opposite Alger, was already very excited: Qilangos was really eliminated by Mr. Fool's believer. Mr. Hanged Man's attitude became humble, probably because he had seen Mr. Fool's powerful believer.
Then she looked at "Sun": Mr. Sun was not surprised at all, after all, he was in the "Forsaken Land". Mr. Emperor was a little surprised, but his surprise seemed a little fake.
Wait, something was wrong with "Emperor's" state. Could he have advanced again?!
