The Tarot Club's Mass Hysteria
"The Parasite!" Klein's gaze swept over the member, and Mr. Azik's most recent reply quickly flashed through his mind.
His former colleague, Leonard Mitchell, was suspected of being Parasitism an Angel through the "Marauder" Pathway, though it was unclear what type of Parasitism it was.
He's been worried about this for a while now, trying to find someone to help him determine Leonard's condition and see if there's any hope for him.
However, due to the insufficient strength of the members in Backlund, this request was not formally made to everyone at the Tarot Club.
Unexpectedly, today I have the chance to learn valuable knowledge belonging to those in high positions along this Pathway from the mouth of a "Hermit".
Thinking this, Klein's heart stirred, and he glanced at the "Magician" subtly, thinking to himself, "Perhaps I can get some progress from her."
Amidst his flurry of thoughts, he heard the "Hermit" woman continue speaking:
From the moment he became a "Parasite," the Demigod "Marauder" possessed the ability to split into Worm of Time, Parasitism others, and create clones.
"And the way to replenish the Worm of Time is through the absorption of Beyonder Characteristic along the same Pathway."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Gray Fog fell silent once more.
Everyone undoubtedly understood the subtext the "Hermit" was trying to convey:
The Magician's friends are at least Sequence 4 of the "Marauder" Pathway! Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to go to such great lengths to collect these traits! Half-Human, Half-God!
The same word echoed in the minds of most of the Tarot Club members, and their gazes toward the "Magician" held a hint of awe.
The other party is actually able to associate with an Beyonder at the Demigod level!
No, it's dating!
But among them was not the "Fool," who sat at the head of the Bronze Long Table.
Klein's first reaction was to activate his Spirit Vision without hesitation and secretly mobilize the power of the Gray Fog, preparing for battle at any moment!
Five seconds later, he breathed a sigh of relief and found that the "Magician" was not acting strangely.
Then, he secretly performed a divination and received the result that the other party had not been Parasitism. Only then was he completely relieved and dropped the "Sea God Scepter" onto the pile of junk.
This also excludes "The Magician" Fors and the new member "The Judgment" Hugh.
Parasite! I've heard that guy mention that name before! Hugh's body jolted as he suddenly realized a problem he hadn't noticed before:
When that guy told me that the method of secretly providing protection belonged to Sequence 4 of the "Marauder" Pathway, I didn't even have any doubts!
How can a Sequence 7 Beyonder use Sequence 4 abilities?! And what's more!
Afterwards, I seemed to have forgotten about the conversation, as if it had never happened, until I heard the "Hermit" mention it just now, and it suddenly came to mind!
So there's only one Truth! That guy has been secretly influencing me with his Beyonder Ability along! The previous acting and Advancement were all an illusion!
She carefully analyzed the cause and effect, and realized that this was the only guess she could come up with. She suddenly leaned forward, trying to get an answer from her friend.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Fors was also stunned and began to question the meaning of life.
What? Isn't he Sequence 7?
Rather... Half-Human, Half-God?
What is all this nonsense? Are you all out of your minds? I helped him collect all the Beyonder Characteristic for his Advancement, how could it possibly be Sequence 4?
If that's the case, he would never have allowed his superior, who treated him so well, to be "sacrificed." I'm quite certain of that!
And Hugh, what was that reaction of yours?
They don't know the situation, why are you joining in?
Please visit... to see the latest chapter! Address: Thinking of this, Fors suddenly felt a sense of helplessness—too lazy to explain, and not knowing how to explain—and mentally complained in utter speechlessness:
"Mr. Fool is really something..."
"Of all people to bring in, they had to drag Hugh in... Now look what's happened, because of her, the overall IQ of the Tarot Club has been lowered..."
"I'm speechless... What is all this nonsense..." she sighed inwardly, and under the watchful eyes of many, she coughed awkwardly and explained:
"I've already said it, he needs it, I'll help him, it's that simple."
"Also, you seem to have misunderstood. I don't know why he collected these Beyonder Characteristic, but it shouldn't be the kind that the ' Hermit ' lady mentioned."
"Mmm." Some people echoed in agreement, while others nodded noncommittally.
The "Magician" lady was quite modest...
If he wasn't Demigod Marauder," why would he collect so many Beyonder Characteristic?
Steamed or deep-fried?
"You guys..." Seeing everyone's perfunctory expressions, Fors felt utterly exhausted.
Forget it, do whatever you want... Anyway, no one would believe me if I told the truth, so why waste my energy?
"The Fool" Klein silently completed a divination, obtaining a meaningless result, without the slightest surprise.
It's normal for a Demigod to fail when there's limited information available.
He himself was only Sequence 6, yet his "Blessed" was already Half-Human, Half-God... He quipped Self- deprecatingly, and the dummy controlling the "world" coughed lightly:
"Miss Magician, I have a simple request."
"Please ask your 'friend' how to distinguish between Shallow Level and Deep-Level Parasitism Parasitism. If it's Deep-Level Parasitism, are there any ways to treat it?"
"You know I'm not familiar with him, so I hope you can help me."
"World" paused, then asked:
What kind of compensation do you need?
Uh, I knew it... There's no such thing as a simple request. If it were really simple, it wouldn't be discussed at Tarot Club... except for that time buying the Wireless Telegraph...
"Fine, let's give it a try... After all, it's the same Pathway, maybe he knows something..." With that thought, Fors nodded reluctantly.
"I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee I'll get the results you want. So, we'll talk about payment later."
"Very well." The "world" did not object to the proposal.
At this moment, "The Hermit" Cattleya turned slightly to the side and said:
"I can get most of the materials on the list, and in considerable quantities, but I don't need that much money."
Her "The Star Pirate Group" had nothing like that, but the "Moses Ascetic Order," as an ancient and Concealment organization, had a rich enough collection.
As long as you're willing to spend contribution points, exchanging for Beyonder Characteristic through non-essential Pathway is quite easy.
I didn't do it before because I felt it wasn't worth it.
Money is useful to her in itself, but it doesn't mean much to her.
Right now, the most important thing for her is to Advancement!
If I don't accumulate enough contributions, I can ask her for help... With this thought flashing through my mind, Cattleya said in a deep voice:
"Tell the one behind you that I need a drop of blood from Mythical Creature."
"He should know what Mythical Creature represent. If you can produce something similar, the materials on the list won't be a problem."
