Grade 0 Sealed Artifact

Leticia was a taciturn Warlock who gave the "Hermit" a strange feeling. Although she never said it explicitly, Cattleya believed that she must be an Angel.

According to the information that Cattleya had learned in advance, the only high-ranking members of the "Moses Ascetic Order" currently guarding "Utopia" were Toriope and two other "Ten Pillars" who had been conducting research there for many years. Leticia should have already left.

Unexpectedly, He appeared again.

He is on the Dark Side of "Utopia".

Every time He says He's leaving "Utopia," unless He really has something to deal with, it's just going in circles and entering the Dark Side? Is He guarding against something, or is He doing something secret? "Queen of Stars" Cattleya was surprised but not flustered.

It's a good thing that Leticia is at the headquarters of the "Moses Ascetic Order," saving us from having to search for Him and eliminate Him!

At this moment, Leticia, with her long, wine-red hair and loose-fitting robes, stood atop a massive, broken Stone Pillars, gazing at the Prophecy traitor, her voice echoing throughout the area:

"I saw you turn into a swan..."

As she spoke, Leticia's body rapidly expanded, and her loose black robe was quickly torn apart, turning into numerous pieces of cloth that drifted down towards the base of the Stone Pillars.

In the blink of an eye, the Vice President of the "Moses Ascetic Order" stretched his neck, which was covered with rose-red scales, as was his body.

It was already five or six meters tall, with its tailbone extending outwards, becoming very long, and covered with joints and barbs.

Leticia had transformed into a giant dragon, a powerful, Evil beautiful, rose-red dragon with a head that still resembled a human's.

His Brownish Yellow vertical eyes immediately locked onto "The Hermit" Cattleya.

Sequence 2 of the "Mystery Pryer" Pathway is called "Sage," whose core ability is the control and utilization of information, including but not limited to his own information management.

In such a situation, if one has a sufficient understanding of oneself, without disrupting the overall information balance, one can add appropriate, non-conflicting, and fully mastered Mysticism knowledge into the corresponding information stream, while deleting unnecessary information, thereby completing the transformation of one's body and the standardization and acceleration of certain spells.

Leticia chose to gradually transform herself into a dragon on an informational level in order to gain a significant boost to her physical body and vitality.

To this end, He spent hundreds of years studying the remains of various dragons, and was known as the "Dragon Scholar" within the "Moses Ascetic Order".

"Queen of Stars" Cattleya initially thought the title referred to Leticia's profound research into the dragon race, making her a true expert in the field. However, it wasn't until the "Queen of Mysteries" also became a "Sage" that she realized there was another layer of meaning:

A scholar like a dragon!

Immediately afterwards, through the gaps in Leticia's rose-red scales, one by one, indifferent, eyelash-less eyes opened.

The "Mystery Pryer" Pathway Mythical Creature Form that appears as a giant dragon!

At the same time, countless fragments flashed through the mind of "Hermit" Cattleya.

There were the "Queen of Mysteries's" admonitions when choosing the "Mystery Pryer" Pathway aboard the "Dawn"; the relentless pursuit of knowledge and the repeated indoctrination from the "Hidden Sage"; the Pain near-loss of Loss of Control on several occasions; the Protection offered by Mr. "The Fool"; the exclusion and suspicion suffered since becoming one of the "Ten Pillars"; and the various evil and depraved scenes witnessed along the way after venturing into the Dark Side...

It's finally coming to an end... With a sigh, Cattleya's back arched slightly, and one after another, pure white, ethereal feathers grew.

"The Fairy Tale Magic" - the Ugly Duckling!

Even the Ugly Duckling can turn into a swan!

Sequence 3 can also display incomplete Mythical Creature Form, holding out for a short time against the Angel's Impact!

As these swan feathers grew, cracks also appeared on Cattleya's body. Within each crack, flesh and blood coalesced, forming indifferent, black-and-white eyes.

As these eyes swept across the surface, they met the countless eyes on the crimson dragon's body.

The "Hermit" Lady and the dragon Leticia both became much more blurred; one seemed to have become an abstract black shadow, while the other's body dimmed, losing its Evil beauty.

Although Lumian possessed the ability to "Teleportation," considering the numerous dangers lurking in the Dark Side "Utopia," she didn't dare to venture in directly like the "Magician" Lady, but instead "Flash" in segments.

After three or four times, he arrived at a place that resembled the rooftop of the Palace.

The area is paved with large, dark black Stone Bricks, surrounded by walls and Tower. The night sky is deep and dark, dotted with twinkling stars, as if countless unknown beings are watching over the area, and those stars are their eyes.

A tall, thin man dressed as Warlock stood atop the nearest Tower, carefully holding a silver water bottle with a long, slender neck in his hands.

The surface of the water bottle was covered with a dense array of bumps, each with a deep crack. Within the cracks, countless black and white pupils slowly moved.

This is a Level 0 Sealed Artifact, but it has no serial number.

This is because it does not belong to the Orthodox God Church, and because it is sometimes Angel, sometimes Sealed Artifact, and its form cannot be fixed.

It originated from a founding member of the "Moses Ascetic Order." After the Angel mysteriously Loss of Control and died, he left behind this Sealed Artifact. In the long period that followed, three Saint of the "Moses Ascetic Order" used this Sealed Artifact to become Angel, but all of them inexplicably Loss of Control within three hundred years, either dying on the spot or becoming Monster, bringing considerable Calamity to the "Moses Ascetic Order."

For the past thousand years, no one has dared to use this "0" level Sealed Artifact for advancement, and it has thus acquired a name:

"Fated Madness!"

As a long-established Concealment organization, the "Moses Ascetic Order" had six "0" level Sealed Artifact at its peak, excluding Angel. Later, some were lost in internal strife, some were dedicated to the "Hidden Sage", and some became the cornerstones of Angel. Now only three remain, and "Fated Madness" is one of them.

The Warlock holding this Curse water bottle is Sydis, one of the "Ten Pillars," who resides in the "Utopia" year-round and studies Mysticism knowledge.

As Sequence 3 "Prophecy Master" in the "Mystery Pryer" Pathway, he chose "Fated Madness" instead of the other two "0" level Sealed Artifact because, for him, the current negative impact was still acceptable and could be sustained for a period of time.

The gaze of those countless eyes atop the slender silver water bottle created a multitude of Phantom.

They were all kinds of knowledge, some in human form, with bulging eyes, clutching their chests, or with their heads exploding; some like writhing snakes, slippery and disgusting; some grotesque and indescribable, all rushing toward Lumian.

Knowledge is coming to everyone!

Before Lumian, a Gray-White color emerged, surging towards the materialized knowledge like ocean waves.

Wherever the Gray-White passed, the Stone Bricks seemed to grow thicker, and the air seemed to solidify.

When the power of Petrification touched knowledge, those Phantom successively donned a Gray-White cloak.

However, in the next second, knowledge of "stone," "rigid," "slow," and "lifeless" merged into those Phantom, becoming part of them.

The pursuit of Lumian's knowledge did not cease; it merely transformed into heavy yet swiftly moving Knowledge Statues in various shapes.

On the azure ocean, thick with Grayish-White Fog.

Because the area they were in would cause even the Messenger to lose their way, Franca could not contact the "Hermit" Lady by normal means. Therefore, she could only inform the holder of That One Major Arcana and the book that the operation could begin by praying to the "The Fool".

After she finished this task, Mr. The Hanged Man gave instructions to the "Professor," the "Periodic Table," and the "Prototype":

"Next, you may experience some hallucinations and see some illusions, but you must never take them as real, otherwise you will harm not only yourselves, but also your companions."

Even if you see me turn into Monster, or see your companions attacking you, you cannot dodge or fight back; you must believe it's all fake.

"Of course, something that violent might not necessarily happen."

The professor and the others looked at each other, but ultimately chose to trust the experienced and powerful captain, especially since "Sleeve Sword" was also present.

Next, the "Blue Avenger" continued deeper into this Sea Area along a channel where the situation ahead was no longer visible.

After a moment, the "professor" suddenly felt that the surroundings had become unusually quiet.

Although it was a "Ghost Ship" with very few people, it had never been so quiet before, with only the sound of waves.

The professor slowly looked at the captain, the Sleeve Sword, and the Sailor in the distance, and noticed that they were moving in slow motion, as if they were Puppet being manipulated.

The professor was startled and instinctively looked back at the Periodic Table and the Prototype.

The two members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" simultaneously curled their lips into chilling smiles.

The two smiles are exactly the same in details.

In his panic, the "professor" remembered the captain's warning, quickly closed his eyes, and kept telling himself:

"This is fake, it's all fake..."

At this moment, it felt as if tentacles were reaching out from the seawater, the slippery sensation growing ever closer, and the "professor's" thoughts began to slow down, even becoming somewhat chaotic.

"It's all fake, it's all fake..." she whispered repeatedly, trying to suppress her fear.

After an unknown amount of time, all these anomalies suddenly vanished, as if they had never happened at all.

The "professor" opened his eyes and saw that the captain's behavior had returned to normal. However, whether it was "Sleeve Sword," "Periodic Table," or "Prototype," all of them had traces of doubt and fear on their faces, more or less.

The professor and the others were about to ask a question when they all frowned in unison.

They felt knowledge chasing them, rushing out from the thick Gray-White fog!

Of course, this isn't as exaggerated as the indoctrination from the "Hidden Sage," and it's something that can be handled relatively easily.

Upon seeing this, the Hanged Man immediately said to Franca:

We've arrived at our destination.

Franca nodded and took out several sheets of finely textured yellow Paper from the "Traveler’s Bag".
