Dean Richard Powell

The Derry Town Central Hospital -morgue, under the dual control ordered by the town mayor, must be hiding some unspeakable secrets.

Because of the female corpse's obstruction, Han Dong cannot go any further.

I could only silently make a note of it in my mind and investigate it again in the future.

Through touching the female corpse, he was able to communicate with her again. "May I use a morgue? I need some time to read Dean Richard's information and develop a plan."

"Um."

When the household registration book was opened again, a faint starlight and iridescent light seemed to emanate from within.

"Information on Hidden Resident collected - [Void - Dean Richard Powell]"

Background wall and character illustrations:

Half of the rooms are typical hospital wards, each occupied by a kind-looking, white-haired doctor.

Half of the twisted hospital was made of piled-up, bubbly flesh, corresponding to a gray-black, wrinkled skin. There was a sunken vortex in the center of the chest, and the lower body was dressed in a sacrificial long skirt, with only the two soles of the feet showing.

Introduction:

Richard Powell is the closest to God among all the Hidden Resident.

Before his 'promotion', he was located in the [World - Void Otherworld], where he was a doctor and a novice theological researcher.

Until one day, a squad of Abyssal Demon Familiar descended upon this world and came into contact with Richard... Ultimately, this squad was killed by Richard, who was an NPC.

Through his dissection, study, and ingestion of his relatives' brains, he formally acquired true "theology of the void."

The original world - in "Void Otherworld".

Dean Richard has completed the development of the national-level religious order, enabling him to formally enter the Void Gate through the Power of Faith, have his first contact with God, and transcend the original world level.

Appreciated by the town mayor, he received a promotion after signing an agreement.

Eventually, Central Hospital was established in Inside Derry Town to provide special treatment services for the townspeople.

Special abilities:

[Void Mark]: S

Dean Richard can apply Void Mark (a black triangle symbol) to any object within a ten-meter range. The mark cannot be resisted, avoided, or removed.

Different objects will produce different effects when marked:

Inorganic substances:

① Doors, walls, etc. (solid materials with a minimum side length greater than 50cm) will evolve into "Void Gate", which can lead to the Void Otherworld (with an exit) which is unsuitable for living beings.

②. Metallic substances will evolve into "Void Radiation," which will periodically radiate void ions (within a three-meter range). Organic Matter Void Mark will accelerate its decay when exposed to the radiation.

③. Non-metallic substances will immediately annihilate once marked.

Organic Matter:

①. Humans, or animals whose structure (including the brain) is at least 90% similar to that of humans.

Once the "Void Mark" is applied, it will undergo three phases of change over a certain period of time:

"Aether" → "Starlight" → "Causality".

(When the "starlight" stage is reached, the individual is considered dead; when the "cause and effect" stage is reached, the essence of life will change.)

90% of the time, only changes at the "Aether" level occur, resulting in the Humanoid Loss and transformation into low-level monsters with piled-up flesh.

9% can achieve the "starlight" level of change, Humanoid Loss, reconstructing their consciousness, and Transform Into an intelligent life form superior to humans, capable of using a small amount of Void Secret Arts.

Less than 1% of individuals are able to complete the final "cause-effect" change, completely break free from the category of carbon-based life, Transform Into Void Lifeform, and become elite subordinates valued by Dean Richard.

Note: The mutation time is affected by individual attributes. Those with higher "Perseverance" and "Physique" values can prolong the mutation time.

②. Lower-order animals that are not human.

Without any interval, Aether change occurs immediately (only the First Stage is carried out), becoming a corrupted pet at the beck and call of Dean Richard, mostly used for reconnaissance and patrol.

③. Plants.

Plants can absorb void energy through imprints and rapidly grow into polymorphic void plants (some of which develop simple self-awareness by building intercellular nervous systems). They are often used to build defensive fortifications, stabilize Void Gate, and create exoskeleton devices.

④. Life forms other than the three mentioned above cannot bear the mark and therefore cannot be imprinted.

[Super body]: A

Dean Richard has completely transcended the constraints of the Aether body, and can draw in the void to fill his body, freely changing his physical form and greatly increasing his "strength" and "agility" stats.

Alternatively, it can condense a void shell outside the body, greatly increasing the "attack coverage area".

Proficient in "Void Secret Arts"

Note: Dean Richard, who possesses a superhuman physique, has no apparent weaknesses and cannot be killed by physical or magical means.

[A devout believer in the void]: D

Dean Richard was more concerned with matters of faith than anyone else in Derry Town, and he showed an absolute sense of 'belonging' to the god he worshipped.

It was because of this piety that he received the gift of God – "immortality".

In Dean Richard's lair, namely the Derry Town Central Hospital, there are a total of nine enshrined statues of the "Void God," all placed in extremely hidden areas with heavy guards.

Dean Richard cannot be killed as long as any one of the "Void God" statues exists.

Destroying any of the statues would also weaken Dean Richard's abilities to some extent.

When all nine statues are completely destroyed, Dean Richard will no longer be under divine protection, will fall into a weakened state, and will be killed.

Unique equipment (cannot be dropped, can only be held by the corresponding Hidden Resident):

"The Void God's Sacrificial Dagger"

Grade: A

Type: Anti-personnel props

Distance: 1 (closest attack range)

The dagger was forged by Dean Richard using the Void Power.

It is a necessary tool for sacrificing objects, allowing the cut object to immediately establish a channel relationship with the void.

A human body branded with the "Void Mark" will undergo a faster mutation once struck by a dagger.

You can also plunge the Priest Dagger into the body of any void minion to give it full activation and enhancement (lasts 10 minutes). After the duration ends, the minion will be sacrificed.

"Void Orb"

Rating: B+

Type: Military Equipment

Distance: 0

It is crafted from a perfect spherical crystal from the Void Otherworld. When used, it will consume all the Void Energy stored within the sphere, ignoring the scene and terrain, and forcibly bring all matter within a 100m radius to the Void Otherworld.

After each use, you need to wait for the sphere to be fully charged before you can use it again.

[Overall Resident Ranking]: NO.5
