"This time's goal is to determine how far into the future the Yesterday Once More charm can borrow from within Euclid's space, and what power it borrows."
There weren't many Yesterday Once More charms. Tang couldn't advance to Trick Sorcerer yet, and with an insufficient number of spirit worms, grasping the most core and advantageous power source for him was crucial.
"If I use Yesterday Once More in the real world, it will at most provide me with some spiritual support."
But the demigod advancement ritual for the Seer pathway required a grand theatrical murder of a demigod. As a Sequence Five, without multi-faceted help, the difference in level wasn't easily bridged.
"Maybe a sneak attack in Euclid's space could work." Tang took out the Sun Scepter, familiarly first checking on Amon's avatar in Tingen and then on the old grandfather in his own territory. After confirming that Amon hadn't affected this side and the old grandfather didn't seem to plan on leaving, Tang felt relieved and began the experiment.
He remembered clearly that the first time he used the Yesterday Once More charm, he saw the Sun Scepter he carried and a booklet made of thin brass.
"That Sequence Two, or even Sequence One self, must have had the Extraordinary characteristics of the Sun Scepter raised to a higher level, Sequence Three, perhaps Sequence Two. If Extraordinary items of this level could be brought over using the Yesterday Once More charm, even if only for a few seconds, utilizing the inherent properties of Euclid's space, it wouldn't be impossible to directly blast a Sequence Four across a layer of space."
The inability to observe four-dimensional existence meant that the demigod couldn't receive any spiritual intuition feedback before the attack arrived. After all, spiritual intuition originated from the spirit world, and Euclid's space itself had a higher dimension than the spirit world. The spirit world couldn't capture information within the higher-dimensional space, so it naturally couldn't provide the demigod with spiritual intuition feedback.
Similarly, a demon's premonition of danger wouldn't work before the attack 'dimensionally reduced' through Euclid's space.
Tang picked up the scepter in his hand.
The sun symbol was like a bronze mirror, reflecting Tang's figure.
In the extremely blurred image, beside his reflected figure, there was another blurred shadow.
It was far too blurry. Rather than a shadow, it was just a patch of unknown darkness.
After fusing the Extraordinary powers of the five pathways of Omniscience and Omnipotence, the Sun Scepter underwent uncontrollable and incomprehensible mutations.
Normal sunlight transformed into the aging and dying black sun. All spiritual beings shrouded by the black sun would produce 'shadows' in the sunlight—these shadows were reflections of themselves, but more inclined towards the dark side.
Subsequently, these shadows would activate, influenced by the manipulator's power, causing them to separate from the original body. Then, using the Extraordinary power of the Scholar, they would simulate the characteristics and combat skills of the original body. The Black Knight would corrupt and strengthen them, and the Wind-Blessed would make the original body and the shadow extreme and mad. Ultimately, either the shadow would kill its master, or the master would kill their shadow, and then their power would wane.
After all, the shadow could also be considered a part of him.
This involved the influence of multiple supernatural elements. Once those shadows truly killed their master, they would also take the master's place, becoming terrifying sources of pollution that were constantly mad.
It would become a new black sun, and all spiritual beings who stepped into its territory would repeat the above process until it killed those spiritual beings or was killed by others.
The unbalanced Sun Scepter could already do this. A Sun Scepter with all its Extraordinary characteristics balanced at the same level would have even more terrifying simulation abilities and mental influence.
Similarly, the Sun Scepter in Tang's hand had an extremely terrifying negative effect.
'Remaining uses before the next sun rises: 21 times!'
Experimenting in Euclid's space and killing marionettes to corrupt their shadows had consumed many uses.
But just this one negative effect, if used well, might even be able to trap an angel king.
For example, letting Amon steal this thing, and then the sun happened to rise.
"But if it can be borrowed, the spirituality consumed would probably be extremely terrifying."
As for the other item, the booklet made of thin brass, Tang felt that it was probably the Uniqueness of the Judge pathway.
The Trensoost Brass Book.
"A Uniqueness contaminated by the Primordial One, also called the Book of Rules after becoming a Sealed Artifact."
If it was aimed at Amon, he felt that this Book of Rules would be more useful.
The power of an Ancient Scholar didn't allow pulling out the historical projection of a Uniqueness. A Uniqueness, as its name suggested, was unique. It was impossible for two identical Uniquenesses to exist in this world, even if one was false or from the past.
Similarly, the various angel kings and gods who accommodated the Uniqueness couldn't be pulled out from the historical gap through normal ancient projections.
"But there's also a BUG."
Instead of pulling the Uniqueness, pull out items related to the Uniqueness; instead of pulling the gods, pull out powers related to the gods.
For example, the Hidden Angel, or a certain god's kingdom.
If he had seen the Tyrant Old Pigeon making thunder in the astral world, he might even be able to pull out the Old Pigeon's lightning.
So, what he wanted to borrow was a part of the rules promulgated by the Trensoost Brass Book... if there were any.
"History."
With the recitation of the ancient Hermes words, the historical mist and historical gaps unfolded again.
Euclid's space overlaid the past, present, and future. Countless scenes drove the historical gaps to become long and deep. Following the power of the charm, Tang arrived at the huge, cold mausoleum again.
Gray fog spread across the ground, the illusory river flowed slowly, and countless spirit threads coiled around the bizarre feathered serpent, extending to the dome above.
The young man with closed eyes sat on the invisible object, and this time he saw more scenes.
The Uniqueness of the Death pathway and half of his father's soul were bound together. This was also the reason why his father, as an 'Undying,' constantly lost and regained his memories, and involuntarily was attracted by this huge mausoleum.
The soul yearned for completeness, and the Death's arrangement would allow his father's soul to revive within him the moment it became whole.
The huge feathered serpent had undergone even more terrifying changes compared to the scene Tang had seen before.
Countless feathers with yellow grease grew all over the island-like feathered serpent's body. The originally illusory spirit threads were also stained with this bizarre color. They were dying, merging into the illusory river, becoming a part of it.
The spirit threads constantly 'died' and were constantly awakened by some power.
The two opposing sides were locked in a stalemate, and the huge feathered serpent looked equally painful.
Tang also understood what was happening here.
"It's grafting."
