The gathering ended.
Sifa returned to reality.
He took stock of what he had gained so far.
He had obtained two sequence 1 characteristics.
He had learned the whereabouts of the Red Priest Uniqueness.
He had acquired a method for extracting the Red Priest Uniqueness.
He had learned secrets from ancient times.
His gains...
Were quite considerable.
But as things stood, making contact with the City of Calamity, let alone making limited use of it...
To extract the Red Priest Uniqueness from Salinger...
Was essentially impossible.
Leaving aside the fact that Klein had yet to become the Lord of Mysteries and could not yet break the seal on the West Continent...
Even if he did...
There was no telling which corner of the West Continent the City of Calamity lay in.
And as for how to use it...
Sifa had no idea whatsoever.
So Sifa was more inclined to use the Book of Mysteries' function.
To briefly become a true god.
To become the Red Priest.
And forcibly extract the Uniqueness from Salinger.
However...
There was no need to rush this.
Even if he extracted the Uniqueness now...
How to remove its corruption...
Would remain a problem.
Another problem was...
The ritual for advancing to sequence 0 was not yet ready.
Only after resolving these two issues...
Would it be better to consider extracting the Uniqueness from Salinger.
After some thought, Sifa summoned the Book of Mysteries.
He wrote a new question in it.
"Watchers, do you know any methods for removing the corruption from a Uniqueness?"
If the Watchers did not know...
He would consider praying to the Lord of Storms. Perhaps that Tyrant could accomplish it through a simple, brute-force approach.
After dismissing the Book of Mysteries...
Sifa called Katarina over.
He gave Katarina all the Beyonder characteristics
