Special-Grade Culinary Arts

Although I had been mentally prepared for the strength of the divine skill.

But when the Great Dimensional Slash actually slew these two powerful enemies.

Roger's inner emotions were still very complex.

First, there was a surprise.

Mechanical Angel are one thing.

After all, that was just an Immortal-grade avatar of Messenary.

But Olmerdo is a truly formidable opponent at the Immortal-grade!

The other party also holds power over the Black Crystal World.

That thing played a crucial role in advancing the Starry Sky God Race' subsequent actions in the Prime Material Plane.

Roger believes.

If Felton's claim that the Starry Sky God Race and the source of the Aberrant Matter 'colluded' is true.

They will then certainly promote the spread of Aberrant Matter in the Prime Material Plane.

And the desire is to spread it.

The most crucial element is the medium.

In his view.

The Black Crystal World, which was 'forced' to descend upon due to the Ice Dragon Canyon incident, is the best medium!

"The uppermost layer of the black crystal should connect to the depths of the starry sky."

"Now that Olmerdo has fallen, there is no one in charge of the power, and the Starry Sky God Race's plans are likely to fall through!"

Roger thought with a touch of excitement:

"If I can go a step further and seize the authority left by Olmerdo, the Starry Sky God Race will have a hard time causing any trouble in the short term!"

As per the previous plan.

He has to defeat Olmerdo first before he can think about power.

Defeating Olmerdo would be a very difficult problem.

But the current problem has been easily solved.

How could one not be pleasantly surprised?

Second point.

He was pleasantly surprised.

They also felt a deep sense of apprehension.

This fear stems from the terrifying power that the Gambler's Roulette can manipulate! Not to mention whether one's potential enemies might possess similar tools capable of manipulating power beyond their own level.

Roger believed that everything has symmetry.

The "Unknown Event" of the Gambler's Roulette can unleash a divine skill that can end the enemy.

Then it's also possible to unleash a power of the same level that will end your own life!

In other words, I was just lucky.

Or perhaps the Ancient Steel Dragon was just incredibly unlucky.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of weird stuff would come up with!

This thought came to mind.

His desire to banish Gambler's Roulette from the gaming world grew even stronger.

This thing isn't unusable.

But it should at least be used in situations where the weak are trying to overcome the strong.

And with Roger's current strength...

There are few people more powerful than him, whether in the Two-Dimensional World or the Prime Material Plane.

so.

It's better to save this kind of unstable stuff for desperate situations where you can gamble with your life! Normally...

He could easily overwhelm them with his own strength!

After recovering from the lingering fear...

Roger began to analyze the potential consequences of those two strikes.

Olmerdo.

The fall of one of the Three Main Gods will inevitably deal a great blow to the high-level power of the Starry Sky God Race.

This could cause the balance between them and the Celestial Gods Race to collapse instantly.

This will affect the battle situation on the Fallen Pine Plains.

Unfortunately, Roger knew nothing about what had happened on the Fallen Pine Plains.

Therefore, they could only rely on information from before entering the Black Crystal World to forcefully deduce the situation, like trying to find a sword by marking the boat where it fell into the water.

The final conclusion remains unresolved.

At this point...

He actually really wanted to get involved.

We can't wait until the Celestial Gods Race have killed all the Starry Sky God Race ' brothers before we join in the fun, can we?

Roger thought it over and over.

The decision was made to accelerate the exploration of the Black Crystal World.

Considering the rampant expansion of the Black Crystal World.

As long as he pushes fast enough.

Who knows, maybe if we keep pushing him, he'll manage to sneak into the battlefield?...

In contrast to Olmerdo.

The death of the Mechanical Angel can at most serve as a warning.

Second Life sounds intimidating.

But there are ancient gods like Messenary who have lived for countless eons.

Who knows how many similar second lives there are! Roger knew it very well.

The appearance of the Great Dimensional Slash could not possibly frighten Messenary, who is also a god.

On the contrary.

This could further enrage this god who is very hostile to the Fifth Star Track.

Roger, however, was not afraid of this.

Messenary's sinister attitude was on full display from the moment the Whale Fall Event occurred.

Whether Roger angered Him or not.

For their own benefit.

He will definitely continue to target the Fifth Star Track!

Not only that.

His interference with the Fifth Star Track is escalating—

Roger remembers it very clearly.

Initially, they secretly mobilized their power to alter the intensity of the "Genesis Meteor Shower".

Later, they simply started openly using Interstellar Bow and Sun Arrow to shoot.

Now...

They even logged into the Fifth Star Track directly using a clone! What about next time?

Next time.

Could it be Messenary himself?

Roger didn't know.

Although the descent of a deity in person is troublesome and dangerous.

It is by no means beneficial to Him personally.

But he simply couldn't fathom the thoughts of the gods.

What if Messenary is crazy?

His mind grew increasingly heavy.

"We must further strengthen ourselves before Messenary makes his next move..."

"Immortal..."

"Perhaps it's time to put it on the agenda."

Roger sighed inwardly.

Time is of the essence.

He originally wanted to stay in the upgrade period for a longer time.

Let's clear five, six, seven, eight, or nine slots first.

Looking at it now...

After the Second Ascension ceremony is completed.

He'll have to consider the ritual for achieving immortality!

Because only when you reach that level...

He was barely qualified to compete with Celestial God-level expert in a non-direct confrontation.

"We need to explore all the Qi Refiner caves in Kuinan, as well as the Thunder Grotto Heaven in Mystra, as soon as possible!"

"There's a Heavenly Dao Ascension; could there be a similar enhancement strategy for immortality as well?"

"We must not overlook any detail that could potentially make us stronger!"

Roger secretly made up his mind.

Besides the deaths of the two formidable enemies mentioned above.

Another effect of the Great Dimensional Slash was the expansion of the Black Crystal World, which Roger already knew about.

The difference is...

After Olmerdo's fall.

Roger noticed that the expansion of the Black Crystal World had become even more unbridled!

Olmerdo's power and checks and balances have been lost.

The Black Crystal Will began to reveal its reckless, wild, and angry side.

Nowadays.

It is accompanied by excruciating pain, like being shattered to pieces.

It frantically launched a self-destructive annexation attack on the surrounding Totem Realm and Prime Material Plane!

In the short term, this expansion is beneficial and has no drawbacks.

But given the madness of Black Crystal Will.

If you can't stop in time.

Therefore, annihilation or explosion are the only two options for the Black Crystal World!

This is another important reason why Roger is preparing to accelerate his progress in the Black Crystal World! He not only wants to seize Olmerdo's power.

I still have to try to soothe the Black Crystal Will that I hurt!

no way.

Why should he be so responsible?

He did indeed create the Great Dimensional Slash.

The result was that the Black Crystal World was in so much pain it felt like it was about to crack open.

He will naturally take full responsibility!

at last.

Roger was taking stock of his fishing spoils.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Fishing Rod triggered a hidden mechanism.

Among his spoils.

Here are two items that are different from ordinary loot.

"Key to the Creation Staff (1/2): A relic from Olmerdo, used to awaken the Creation Staff"

"Silver Body (Construct/Mechanical Race/Soul Vessel): A relic from the Mechanical Angel (Messenary)."

You can infuse a part of your soul into it.

This grants the user a superhuman, Hero Template -level clone.

These two things were caught with Golden Fishing Rod.

But that's not entirely true.

Because these two items came from beings who were killed by Roger but whose bodies he did not touch.

This caught Roger's attention.

"Could it be..."

"While the Golden Fishing Rod is used for random fishing, there's also a chance it will pull back the loot from the people I kill?"

If this is true.

That would be fantastic!

For Roger...

The saddest thing is killing two tough guys but not having had time to issue Extermination Order.

They took down two tough guys but didn't get a chance to collect the loot! Therefore...

After discovering this.

He decided that he would fish whenever he had a spare moment.

Let's see if we can fish back what rightfully belongs to him!

And then there are the details regarding the spoils of war.

Roger wasn't very satisfied with either of them.

He knew almost nothing about the Creation Staff.

Not to mention it's just a simple key.

He had no interest in bothering with puzzle games.

As for the Silver Body, it's even worse.

Roger already has Vilan as a powerful clone.

Even if a clone of extraordinary level has the most bizarre racial attributes, it is difficult for him to be interested.

The only redeeming feature is the "Hero Template".

This means that this mechanical clone can be upgraded.

Roger has no plans to play an alt account anytime soon.

So he banished both of these items to the cold palace! Based on past experience with similar items...

The chances of them regaining their brilliance are extremely slim.

After all that was done.

Roger deftly put away his fishing rod.

He ignored the goblins following closely behind him.

He strode straight ahead toward the prison.

It got dark.

It's time to show our true power! A moment later.

Outside of prison.

Roger charged ahead alone.

Eight sprites and a timid goblin followed behind.

But then a flash of blood appeared in his hand.

A pair of weapons resembling mantis blades appeared in his hands!

"Hint: Do you want to replace ' Gambler's Roulette ' with ' Demon Blood Blade ' as your primary weapon?"

"Change successful! Your base attack has been increased to 4 points!"

Hint: You have discovered the Black Crystal Prison (Abandoned Gate)

"You encountered a group of thuggish prison guards."

"You killed a scoundrel prison guard."

"Sin Mark 1: Your soap-picking skill has received a slight boost."

"Sin Mark 2: You have gained a little knowledge (experience from a failed prison break)"

"Why would I need soap-making techniques and failed prison break experiences!?"

Roger made his usual sarcastic remark.

Then he cut open the Sin Mark.

Finally, surrounded by the fairies, it plunged fiercely into the group of villains!

The little sprites' cleaning efficiency is already exceptional.

But when the summoner who was originally just going through the motions joined the melee phase with an incredibly strong presence.

Things then changed.

It only took two minutes.

Roger cleared the two rooms near the Abandoned Gate in one go!

Black Crystal Prison does not have monsters with unique mechanics like the Half-Dragon Man.

Roger's pioneering journey naturally seemed to go smoothly.

The newly equipped Demon Blood Blade also shone brightly.

Amidst the chaotic dance of blades.

Countless monsters have perished here!

A day and a half later.

"Black Crystal Prison: Warden's Office"

Boom! Boom! Boom! The roar of the engine echoed repeatedly in the fairly spacious study.

Thick black smoke billowed up.

A beam of blue light suddenly pierced through the black smoke.

Immediately afterwards.

A swift figure quickly disappeared from the black smoke.

It instantly crushed the oncoming group of monsters into mincemeat!

Lightning Speed!

Roger drove the Ghostfire back and forth in the study three times.

Until all the monsters fell silent.

He then casually jumped off the motorcycle.

now.

There wasn't a single living being left standing in the Warden's Office besides him.

Those were the last remaining monsters that slipped through the net.

As for Roger's goal for this trip—

Warden Rogge.

He had already fallen to his crazy "Blood Blade Dash" 3 minutes earlier! Although he had accumulated Blood Blade Charge counts by killing monsters in the early stages, he had not yet reached 100 stacks.

But 70+ layers of bleeding status are enough to exhaust that bulky Flesh Golem.

Moreover, Roger also had the help of the elves.

The process of clearing the Black Crystal Prison was simpler than he had imagined.

certainly.

This is also partly due to his increased strength.

There aren't many people in the entire Black Crystal Prison who can withstand a single blow from the Demon Blood Blade.

This undoubtedly confirms Roger's choice.

After getting off the motorcycle.

He searched for any loot he might have missed.

While checking the data panel.

"Log: You used ' Demon Blood Blade ' to kill ' Warden Rogge ' (Ascension/Lord/Species Rank...)"

"Extermination Order: You have acquired the feat from Rogue - the Flesh Golem bloodline."

"Flesh Golem lineage: Your body is compatible with organs, viscera, limbs, tails, and other inserts or implants from other creatures, races, and materials..."

"You have gained Aberrant Authority Rank from Rogue (+0.03) (Already owned)"

"You have acquired a specialty from Roger - Master Chef"

"Master Chef: You are extremely skilled at cooking."

Even the most ordinary ingredients.

Thanks to your skillful guidance.

It can also make your mouth water and leave you wanting to stay longer!

"What's so special about this?"

"A warden who doesn't want to be a chef isn't a good Flesh Golem, is he?"

Roger scratched his head.

Isn't cooking skill just about being good enough for the job?

The Superb Culinary Skills from the Flesh Golem

It doesn't seem plausible no matter how you look at it! Similarly...

The description of the Flesh Golem lineage also looks strange.

"What exactly are the inserts and embeddings implying?!"

If it weren't for the fact that the Aberrant Authority Rank still has some use...

Roger wished he could resurrect the Flesh Golem, Roger, and kill him all over again! Fortunately...

The treasure chest awarded for clearing the Warden's Office saved Roger from his less-than-ideal mood.

It was a prop item that shimmered with a pale purple light!

"Phantom Scythe (Inspire/Sharp Weapon/Bloodline): When you equip this item, two phantoms identical to you will appear around you when you launch an attack. When your main body attacks an enemy, these phantoms will also attack in sync and have Attack Power equivalent to yours!"

The Phantom has a 90-second cooldown.

Note 1: As long as you are not knocked down, the phantom will continue to follow you.

Note 2: After the first phantom is knocked down, the cooldown will only begin after the second phantom also disappears.

Note 3: The location where the phantom appears is not fixed and is purely random.

Three attributes! Amazing stats! "This is the final piece of the puzzle for the Encouragement Stream!"

Roger clutched the Phantom Scythe tightly.

I almost burst into tears.

certainly.

Excitement aside...

He didn't forget to cut off the Flesh Golem's head as well.

On the data panel.

"You have completed the 'Special Mission: The Suffering Maiden '!"

"You have earned the girl's gratitude (a top-tier recruitment token)."

"You have activated your second character card!"

"Should we adjust the Item Column order of the second character card and place it in the 'Active' state?"

"Adjustment successful!"

"You've obtained a brand new character card (Two-Dimensional World)!"
