Reverse Engineering and Sequence Compilation

Backlund, laboratory within Baron Konston's estate.

Edwin sat at a broad experiment table, its surface covered with spoils he had swept up from the Beyonder gathering.

The dagger known as "Slowness Sting" lay quietly atop a piece of velvet, its gray-green edge gleaming with an oily sheen beneath the candlelight. There was also an antique-looking ring, a badge engraved with intricate patterns...

Under Edwin's Spirit Vision, they presented entirely different scenes.

In essence, these items were all products of the fusion between the rules of Beyonder sequences and ordinary matter.

Their nature resembled the "Dharma treasures" described in the cultivation theories of the Infinite World—fragments of the laws of heaven and earth fixed into objects through specific means.

A user merely needed to infuse them with the corresponding energy to trigger the special effects contained within.

Unfortunately, Eye of Wisdom's gathering was ultimately only a marketplace for low-sequence wild Beyonders. Naturally, no truly high-grade mystical items would appear there.

Most of the things on the table were merely tiny fragments of some sequence ability.

For instance, this "Slowness Sting" was only an immensely weakened manifestation of the "Slowness" curse from the Demon pathway. That lightning ring, meanwhile, was a partial application of some Sailor pathway ability in terms of startling others and discharging electricity.

From a practical standpoint, this trade had undoubtedly been a loss.

These mystical items had single, limited functions. They were far less flexible than complete sequence abilities, yet their unusual conditions of formation made them quite expensive. But to Edwin at this moment, their value was immeasurable.

What he needed were precisely these incomplete, structurally simple "fragments."

Among the sequences he currently possessed, Sequence 6 of the Apprentice pathway was known as "Recorder." One of its core abilities was to record and simulate Beyonder abilities from
