"Having Babies"

At 6:15 PM, at a cheap Inn near the "Bravehearts" bar.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Lorry nodded slightly and bowed to the lady opposite him.

Sharron gave a soft "hmm" in a nasal tone, and slightly lifted her skirt to give a slight bow.

Immediately, her figure carrying the black Suitcase disappeared from the spot, reappearing in the window behind the desk, and then vanished completely along with the Suitcase.

Watching the "Temperance Faction" member leave, Lorry sat back down on the edge of the bed, the "Notarization" he had just signed replaying in his mind.

He must fulfill the agreed-upon Beyonder Characteristic within a year, regardless of the Sequence; the higher the Sequence, the fewer the number, and vice versa, the number becomes terrifyingly large.

Actually, it shouldn't take more than a year.

"Pali Beria herself had planned to hunt down members of the ' Rose School ' to digest Potion, and now even the buyer issue has been resolved ahead of schedule."

"However, I need to find a way to give her a trump card to protect herself, preferably one that can threaten a Demigod, to prevent this clone from being sacrificed."

As he muttered to himself, Lorry's brows furrowed slightly.

As his first incarnation, he invested heavily in Pali Beria. Leaving aside the "Abyss" cards created by Emperor Roselle, the "Desire Apostle" Potion and the "Ocean's Heart" alone amounted to an astronomical sum.

The value of both items is no less than £20,000.

This is almost half of Mary Gale's net worth.

--She was a member of the Kingdom Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee and a colleague of Fitz Posner. Thanks to the tens of thousands of pounds worth of Coim Company shares left by her father, she rose to the upper class of the Kingdom and was pursued by many men, including some nobles from long-established families.

After a moment's thought, Lorry's eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head.

He cannot give items at the Demigod level to the other party, either because his main body also needs them, or because the negative effects are too severe for his clone to carry or use.

"I'm afraid it will all come down to the deal with the ' Hermit ' lady in the end. Once I master the method she mentioned, I'll create a Demigod Charm for my clone."

Fortunately, this matter is not particularly urgent.

"The clone has the ' Abyss ' card to Anti-Divination and prophecy, and the ' Teleportation ' Silver Medal to escape at any time, so nothing bad will happen to it for the time being."

"At most, I and my clones will have to work hard to Teleportation as soon as something happens."

Thinking about it this way, Lorry felt a little more at ease and didn't dwell on the matter too much, shifting his attention to the dark wooden box on his desk.

--This is a Level 1 Sealed Artifact traded by the "Temperance Faction". After staring at it silently for a few seconds, a deep solemnity appeared in his eyes. He did not dare to touch the dark wooden box directly, but pulled out an Illusions and picked it up.

He then grabbed the Illusions's shoulder and quickly Teleportation to a deserted riverside area.

The warm sunlight shone on him, and Miss Sharron's voice echoed in Lorry's ears:

Its name is "Monstrous Procreation Marionette," which corresponds to Sequence 4 "Marionette" in the "Prisoner" Pathway. It allows the owner to use the power of "Source of Curse" to transform into items such as arcane Marionette and magical Paper Figurine, establish Mysticism connection with the target, and curse the target through various methods.

"During this period, any damage inflicted on it will be simultaneously reflected back to the target; similarly, any damage suffered by the target will also be reflected on it."

"Marionette's" physique is only average in Sequence 4, so few people use this ability during the "Marionette" stage.

"But it is different; for some reason, it possesses the ability to Self- repair—an ability even stronger than that of the ' Shaman King '."

"In other words, as its owner, if you can overcome the negative effects, you can easily deal with other Sequence 4 with this Sealed Artifact."

"In addition, you can use it to manipulate inanimate objects within a certain range, including ordinary objects and Mystical Item on the target."

"The premise for manipulating the latter is that the target has not yet been imbued with Spirituality."

"The only negative effect is the continuous spread of a strong reproductive instinct to everything around it; whether it's living beings, animals, microorganisms, or inanimate objects, all will be affected; unless Angel- level Purification power, this instinct cannot be eradicated. The specific manifestations are..."

"This is the only Level 1 Sealed Artifact we're willing to offer. You have ample time to consider whether to proceed with the transaction."

Lorry collected his thoughts, and despite knowing that the "Monstrous Procreation Marionette" was currently sealed, he still instinctively hid more than ten meters away.

He first consulted the oracle to confirm that Miss Sharron's account was correct.

Then I started remotely controlling the command.

The Illusions dutifully opened the dark wooden box, its expression immediately twitching.

Inside the wooden box, however, lay a hidden world. Around the perimeter was a recessed area filled with Mercury liquid, acting as a kind of "moat."

The "moat" guards another wooden box, in the center of which is a palm-sized Marionette, surrounded by beads of various sizes.

These beads are constantly "giving birth"!

Small beads were expelled from the large beads as if giving birth, and then quickly grew to the size of the "mother" before joining the reproductive army.

As the wooden box filled up, the overflowing beads fell into the "moat," where they were quickly swallowed and disappeared by the Mercury liquid. Simultaneously, Lorry's face displayed an expression similar to that of the Illusions.

As expected of a long-established Concealment organization...

To think that a Level 1 Sealed Artifact could be successfully sealed using such a simple method... although the sealing method is rather unconventional and ingenious...

As he reflected on it in his heart, he began to seriously consider how to use it.

Theoretically speaking, Illusions don't belong to the category of "things" because they don't actually exist... Perhaps this Sealed Artifact is just right for them...

The thought flashed through his mind. Lorry took a deep breath and carefully gave the Illusions a command, instructing it to reach out and pick up the finely crafted Marionette.

Then, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

The Illusions's lower abdomen visibly swelled up to the height of her forearm within half a minute, resembling the state of a pregnant woman about to give birth in October.

Sizzle!

Two tiny hands suddenly reached out and began to tear at the Illusions's belly until they had ripped a large hole large enough for the illusion to pass through.

The miniature Illusions bounced out and grew rapidly.

At this moment, the wound on the Illusions's lower abdomen, which had no bloodstains, healed rapidly, quickly returning to its original state. Then, it gradually swelled up again, growing higher and higher. "Hiss!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Lorry couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill run down his spine. He almost had the urge to abandon the Sealed Artifact and turn away.

Luckily, I was quick-witted; when creating the Illusions, I just used a random face, not someone I knew... He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced himself to continue his research, despite his discomfort.

"The Source of Curse!"

Based on the inherent Mysticism connection, the "Monstrous Procreation Marionette" held in the Illusions's palm Distortion and instantly transformed into a miniature version of the Illusions.

Click!

The Illusions broke off the head of the "Monstrous Procreation Marionette".

At the same time, the miniature Illusions let out a venomous wail, clutching its head to prevent it from falling, and slowly dissipated into the air.

In the Illusions's palm, an invisible force connected the "Monstrous Procreation Marionette's " head and body together, instantly restoring it to its original state.

A severed head can heal so quickly? This self-healing ability is truly Horror!

But it's really weird... that little thing could even glare at people before it died... no wonder the "Temperance Faction" agreed to the deal, I'm not even sure who set up whom... Of course, that last sentence is just a joke, being able to exchange for a "1" level Sealed Artifact, even with its major negative effects, is still a win for Lorry.

Rory's gaze swept over the three miniature Illusions bouncing around the main Illusions, calling out "Mommy," and Lorry lips twitched again as he forced himself to look away. "Anyway, with Illusions as cannon fodder, at least I can indirectly use ' Monstrous Procreation Marionette ' to deal with ordinary Sequence 4."

"Considering the negative effects, this Sealed Artifact was most likely not formed normally, but rather suffered some kind of contamination, leading to its uncontrolled cleansing."

Thinking this, Lorry suddenly had a thought:

Etc!

Since its negative effects are caused by contamination, if I were to follow Klein's example and steal the contamination from the "All-Black Eye"...

Let's get started.

He conjured up a new Illusions a "Fire Thief," using it as a firewall to carefully observe the "Monstrous Procreation Marionette" with the Fire Thief's abilities.

The Red Light relentlessly eroded all sorts of Light Clump.

No Spirituality guidance is needed.

Lorry knew that this was the source of the pollution!

He immediately gave the "Fire Thief" Illusions the order to Stealing the contamination, and his own consciousness quickly withdrew, switching to the "Fire Thief's " perspective.

Stealing failed. Stealing failed.

Stealing failed.

Stealing successful!

Lorry saw a Red Light suddenly disappear, Future any joy, he was astonished to see that the Red Light quickly "grew" back.

His expression froze for a moment, then he suddenly realized. "So the ' Monstrous Procreation Marionette's' repair ability has nothing to do with itself, but comes from the pollution it encountered."

"From this perspective, it's best to leave this pollution as it is."

"Moreover, they also possess the ability to Self- repair; unless Stealing completely at once, they will most likely grow back the same amount as what was stolen."

The thought flashed through his mind, but Lorry reluctantly dismissed his previous idea.

Suddenly, he saw a miniature version of the Illusions emerge from the "Fire Thief" Illusions's abdomen, growing rapidly while calling out "Mama".

However, unlike the first Illusions that was still constantly repeating the cycle of "pregnancy and childbirth" not far away, the "Fire Thief" Illusions only gave birth once.

The contamination is so weak that it can only reproduce once? If that's the case, could I Stealing a trace of the contamination and try to create something extraordinary, like a bullet?

Lorry boldly let his imagination run wild, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

What is certain at present is that the contamination will not cause the Mystical Item to "give birth," meaning that one should only imagine Stealing the "Fire Seed" glove.

The next challenge is how to use the power of contamination to create bullets with extraordinary effects, rather than letting it spawn a bunch of smaller bullets.
