Omniscience and Omnipotence
"Knock, knock"
Klein continued to ponder, Consciousness tapping the table with his fingers. The sound was soft, yet it seemed to echo heavily in Cattleya's heart.
Everyone waited quietly.
"That's fine."
He chuckled softly, "Since the [Hermit] has seen through your features, then in return, let you see her too."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed.
"Call!"
The Gray Fog surrounding [The Hermit] Cattleya dissipated considerably in an instant, and her previously blurry figure became clear in a flash. Everyone saw that this new member was wearing a classical robe embroidered with many mysterious symbols. Although her face was not completely recognizable, the basic features of her facial features could be identified.
A heavy pressure enveloped Cattleya, rendering her unable to move and forcing her to watch helplessly as she was scrutinized by the gazes of the crowd.
"That outfit, those eyes—there's no mistake, she must be a 'Admiral of Stars'!"
Alger, having confirmed the other's identity, felt some of his unease lessen. Meanwhile, the others took the opportunity to observe the Hermit Hanged Man.
This face... I feel like I've seen it on a wanted poster before. Luther thought to himself.
"That's all for now, let's make sure it doesn't happen again."
Klein released the Fog and said calmly, "[The Hermit] is attending Tarot Club for the first time. A little nudge will do. If I really do something to her, it would make me look like Fool who can't judge people, which is not good for maintaining my image."
"Yes"
Cattleya sighed.
After that, Klein had the other party materialize a pair of glasses and put restrictions on their eyes to ensure that such a thing would not happen again.
"We can begin."
He glanced at everyone and abruptly ended the topic, allowing the Tarot Club to move on to the next activity: reading Roselle's Diary.
The diaries were presented by Audrey (the Justice) and Fors (the Magician). Not to mention that Cattleya (the Hermit), who had just relaxed, was once again shocked by the fact that Mr. Fool knew it was a diary and could even read it, the diary itself was also very rich in information.
Of the four diary entries, the first two are Emperor Roselle's self-reflection after he entered a period of Sage reflection, which is of little use. The latter two, however, Record many valuable things, including Zaratul's quest for the Antigonus Notebook and Roselle's observations at the Twilight Hermit Order.
As Klein read, a thought struck him.
The Twilight Hermit Order hostile to the Solomon Empire of the Fourth Epoch because its allies are the True Creator. The reason seems to be related to the word "Omniscience and Omnipotence." Indeed, if the apex of the Shepherd Pathway —the "True Creator"—can Grazing the God corresponding to the other twenty-one transcendental Pathway, then in a sense, He is equivalent to Omniscience and Omnipotence Creator.
Perhaps deeper secrets are hidden within the Pathway of the Sequence. If one day Luther truly replaces the True Creator and exists in a more rational way, Grazing other True God, he might actually become the new Creator.
Thinking of this, Klein almost couldn't help but look in the direction of [Temperance] Luther.
"You may begin."
However, he ultimately suppressed his inner turmoil and addressed the crowd.
The transaction process has officially begun.
"Gentlemen."
Completely unaware of the extent to which his imagination had been stretched, Luther spoke first. He looked around at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on the [Hanged Man], "I'm planning to sell some things. Anyone interested?"
"Something new again?"
Alger, the Hanged Man up. "Is it Characteristic, or an item?"
"None of those."
Luther shook his head and said, "They are some high-value items."
"High-value items?"
"Um."
Luther nodded, and amidst the increasingly stunned gazes of the crowd, began to take stock. "There are jewelry, bank drafts, large bearer deposits, and two boxes of high-value artwork." For pirates, selling stolen goods is also an important part. After robbing the mansions of the steward and Mr. [Gluttony], it wouldn't be good to leave these things in the Captain's Cabin, so it's better to exchange them for cash.
Oh, by the way, this guy raided Toscarter Island.
Alger, the Hanged Man, took a deep breath, unsure whether to feel envy or fear. "These things are too conspicuous; I can't deal with them for you."
These are two large boxes of valuables, not as easy to hide as Beyonder Item or Characteristic. Besides, they're at sea, and if they're sold, the authorities might discover that someone is selling stolen goods and trace them back to us.
Luther then looked toward [Justice].
"I'm sorry, Mr. Temperance, I can't help you with this either."
Audrey shook her head as well.
As for the nervous [Magician] Fors and the bewildered [Sun] Derrick, there's no need to mention them.
I can help you with part of it.
"[Moon] Emlyn said, puffing out his chest proudly, "We Sanguine are never short of money, and we have a refined taste for jewelry and art. Of course, you'll need to pay me a commission. Uh, 200 pounds in total, please."
"Can."
Luther nodded. Having more channels is good; someone will always be able to provide a solution.
"You can leave the rest to me."
At this moment, the Hermit, Cattleya, spoke up, "I have connections to sell it, but it will be 30% lower than the normal market price."
She faced an identity crisis as soon as she joined the Tarot Club, feeling she had to demonstrate her value to gain more recognition. As for the "connections" she mentioned, they naturally referred to the stolen goods distribution channels of her pirate crew.
What about the commission?
"No need this time, consider it an apology for my previous reckless behavior."
Through the glasses sealed by the Fool himself, [The Hermit] Cattleya's eyes flickered slightly.
"Okay, I accept."
Luther nodded noncommittally.
After a brief pause, he continued, addressing the crowd, "Gentlemen, please keep an eye out for powerful and Beyonder Item for me. Price is not an issue."
After advancing to Sequence 4, his strength increased significantly. Apart from the mutated "Pain," his other two Beyonder Item were no longer sufficient, and it was time to find more powerful Beyonder Item.
As for the "Lucky Roulette," the glove from Harras, and the replaced Lamb Characteristic, he kept them as inventory for now. Anyway, he had plenty of cash, and he could sell them later if he really needed money.
"Specifically, how powerful is it?"
"[The Magician] Fors asked in a low voice."
"Demigod level, I guess."
Luther spoke casually, eliciting silence from everyone.
"I don't think the rest of us will have the opportunity to access items of this caliber for the time being."
[The Hanged Man] said it sincerely.
"It's alright, just keep an eye on it for me."
Luther doesn't necessarily have to find it from them, but as the saying goes, having multiple channels is always good.
His greater hope was to obtain a similar item from the "Queen Mystic".
