Experiment

As Kronos was gently stroking the Gloves, he was teleported out of the Mausoleum.

Unlike last time, he didn't appear at the bow of the ship, but on the deck, with Olmer standing beside him.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Olmer asked.

Kronos detected a hint of pride in those words, so he asked, "You chose this for me?"

Olmer nodded. "I cannot disobey His Night Emperor's Rules, but I can help you choose the reward you receive after passing the trial."

"This Gloves may not be one of the most powerful Demigod- level Sealed Artifact, but its negative effects are well-controlled, so you won't accidentally cause problems when using it."

Then Olmer continued earnestly, "You haven't seen many Sealed Artifact yet, so I need to give you a few words of advice. The abilities of Sealed Artifact are indeed very important, but the negative effects are also an issue that absolutely cannot be ignored."

"You don't know when you'll need to use this Sealed Artifact. Even if some negative effects can be mitigated or exempted with proper preparation, you won't have time to prepare when a real crisis comes. I just hope that when that time comes, you won't regret it."

Olmer's words were very earnest, and Kronos also thought of his own Parasitic Bone.

Having 2-081 can indeed avoid the negative effects of Parasitic Bone, but as Olmer said, in a real emergency, there's no time to imitate another ability; survival comes first.

Kronos bowed to Olmer and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Duke."

Olmer didn't stand on ceremony this time either, and simply helped Kronos up gently.

"If you can help Olnia return, that will be a great favor to our Sanguine. We'll be thanking you profusely."

Kronos asked with some curiosity, "Does Her Majesty the Resurrection Queen really need me? Can't she form a contract with someone else?"

Olmer shook his head. "I don't know. I asked Olnia, but she didn't answer me."

Kronos continued, "Where is He? Why didn't He come with you?"

"He is not awake for long periods each day, so unless you summon him or something very important happens, he spends the rest of his time sleeping in the Underworld."

Seeing Kronos's curious gaze, Olmer continued, "It's said that the souls of the dead enter the Underworld and slowly perish Underworld, but there's no evidence to prove the truth of this claim."

"Olnia was more like a semi-dead person back then; her body and soul weren't completely dead, but rather asleep in the Underworld."

"It was your existence that awakened Him, so after signing the contract with you, as you grow stronger, His condition will improve. As for how He will be able to completely escape His current state, no one knows."

Kronos nodded. Olmer didn't know how someone as insignificant as him had gotten involved with Olnia, but he had a vague guess that it was probably related to the Time Stone.

At this point, an awkward silence fell between the two of them.

Kronos continued, "Duke Olmer, could you please find a suitable place to drop me off? I'm completely lost at sea; if I continue like this, I'll die at sea."

Olmer laughed. "Neither Olnia nor I expected you to be so reckless, heading towards the Ghost Empire without any prior knowledge of the route."

After speaking, Olmer raised his head, closed his eyes, as if sensing something.

After sensing the situation, Olmer opened his eyes, pointed in a direction, and said to Kronos, "I promised Olnia that I wouldn't interfere with your actions, so I can't help you."

"But I can point you in a direction; it's 300 kilometers this way, and you'll reach Nas."

After saying that, he turned his hand in the opposite direction. "And five hundred kilometers over there is Oravi Island. The choice is yours."

Having received definitive guidance, Kronos was quite satisfied. After all, Kronos was a little uneasy about having a Sequence Two Angel personally escort him all the way.

Having obtained his bearings, Kronos boarded his Small Starship and parted ways with Olmer and the Ghost Empire.

At the bow of the Ghost Empire's ship, Olmer watched Kronos' departing figure and said to the Skeleton General beside him, "Kaust, do you think he can help Resurrection His Night Emperor and Her Majesty the Queen?"

In fact, Olmer's words to Kronos were exaggerated.

Even with the Time Stone, it's impossible for Olnia to Resurrection automatically as Kronos grows stronger.

Even Olnia herself didn't know how Kronos could help her.

It was merely Spirituality guidance that told Olnia that Kronos was the one who could help her and her husband Resurrection.

Olmer knew these things, but he had no intention of telling Kronos.

Such immense pressure is beyond the capacity of a single Sequence 5.

In Olmer's view, Kronos would have to grow into an Angel to have the courage to shoulder so much pressure and responsibility.

After Olmer finished speaking, he patted the Skeleton General on the shoulder, but unfortunately, the Captain of the Guards Kaust didn't move an inch.

Seeing that Kaust did not respond, Olmer sighed deeply and then disappeared Above the Ghost Empire.

Actually, 300 kilometers isn't that far. At Kronos's speed, it would only take him about ten hours to get there. However, Kronos didn't choose to go to Nas because he was completely unfamiliar with Nas.

Kronos had only three things he wanted to do on this voyage. He had already collected the blood of the Phoenix Ancestor, boarded the Ghost Empire, and taken away a Demigod- level Sealed Artifact.

Now there's only one thing left: to find the Queen Mystic Bernadette or the Admiral of Stars Cattleya.

Although in the original story, Klein and Cattleya met in Nas, which suggests that Nas had a base of operations belonging to Cattleya.

But even if Kronos went there, he wouldn't be able to find the location of that stronghold, and it would only leave a bad impression on Cattleya.

What if, because of this, Cattleya avoids Kronos? Wouldn't that be a greater loss than a gain?

Therefore, Olavi is still the best choice.

Olavi was certainly not Kronos's ultimate destination; it was mainly a transit point on his way to Bayam Olavi.

In Bayam, Sharf could gather Message through various channels, and Amyrius controlled the most powerful force in the entire Sonia Sea.

With these assistance, it will certainly be much easier than if Kronos were to fight alone.

So even though Olavi was farther away, and even though going to Olavi meant that Kronos would have to drift at sea for another day and night, Kronos still chose Olavi.

They had been sailing at sea for a short time when it gradually grew dark.

The arrival of Evernight pleased Kronos, for he had something to verify.

Kronos had previously made assumptions about the relationship between Constellation and emotions, but he struggled to find a way to verify them.

No matter how hard Kronos tried, he could never muster a completely genuine emotion when he was fully aware of the purpose of the experiment.

But now Kronos has a new method.

The Control Gloves seemed to have been made specifically for this experiment.

Kronos could use this Gloves to Hypnosis himself, unleash his most genuine emotions, and then try to attract the few incomplete Constellation he had already identified.

Although Kronos didn't know what emotions these Constellation corresponded to, he figured he could just experiment with each emotion—joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—one by one. Could researchers lack that much patience?

Without any hesitation, Kronos used the Control Gloves to Hypnosis himself.

At the level of Manipulator, Hibernation becomes far more profound than before.

Once you allow your Mental Body to traverse the Sea of Collective Subconscious and enter the Mind Stone Island, you can no longer simply call it Hypnosis.

Kronos used the Manipulation Gloves to directly access his own Mind Stone Island.

Logically speaking, one's own Mind Stone Island should be under one's own control.

But matters of the Mind Stone are not something you can control just by knowing them.

So unless you take the Visionary Pathway, even if you know the Sea of Collective Subconscious, even if you know the Mind Stone Island, you still won't find a way to enter.

After entering his own Mind Stone Island, Kronos began to manipulate his Consciousness through the Manipulation Gloves.

The first emotion Kronos Endowment to himself was Envy.

Kronos himself didn't know if it would be as he thought, but he believed that Scorpio might be a good match for this emotion.

Creating such an emotion is indeed very easy; one only needs to alter one's own memories.

Create a background for yourself where you are unloved by your parents, and then portray yourself as a brother who is pampered by your family.

In short, Kronos used every melodramatic plot he knew to fabricate a memory.

He didn't want to kill himself, so the memory would only last for twenty minutes; after that, it would naturally disappear.

After the memory was formed, before Kronos left the Mind Stone Island, he was not affected by it.

However, after leaving the Mind Stone Island, Kronos clearly noticed the difference.

He was afraid something bad would happen, so instead of erasing his previous memories, he created another set of memories out of thin air. This was to prevent things from becoming unreliable, as even twenty minutes could cause a lot of trouble.

Even so, even though Kronos knew in his heart that the extra memories were false, he still couldn't help but Envy of his brother who was good at everything, Envy that he wanted to kill him.

Fortunately, this inexplicable emotion did not affect Kronos's focus on his work, so Kronos, with this feeling of Envy, turned his gaze towards Scorpio.

If this level of emotion has no effect, then Kronos could basically declare that emotions have nothing to do with Constellation.

But in Kronos's eyes, the Scorpio on the horizon had indeed changed.

It didn't directly attract Kronos's attention like Lion Constellation did, perhaps because this emotion was ultimately false.

However, in Kronos's eyes, the fragments he had already discovered became particularly shiny, and slowly began to connect into lines.

As the Constellation were slowly outlined, changes also occurred in Kronos; the Potion within his body began to be rapidly digested.

Kronos had previously discovered three Constellation: the Big Dipper, Pisces, and Lion Constellation.

However, these three Constellation were discovered in similar circumstances.

These three Constellation were the ones who actively attracted Kronos, and then appeared before him in their entirety.

Although they all progressed well in digesting the Potion after Kronos successfully communicated with them, this process was different from the process by which Astronomer discovers Astrology phenomena.

But today is different; Kronos is now discovering the Astrology, not being discovered by Astrology.

As the outline of Scorpio became clearer, the entire Scorpio was completely exposed to Kronos.

After a while, the memories in Kronos's mind reached their end and instantly collapsed completely.

Kronos's Envy dissipated as a result.

However, the Scorpio in the sky did not disappear.

How could Constellation found by an Astronomer possibly disappear?

Gradually, the last corner of Scorpio was completely filled in, and a complete Constellation appeared in Kronos's sight.

Then Kronos saw a beam of starlight descend directly from Scorpio, falling towards Kronos.

Kronos didn't hold back and immediately used Star Sand, preparing to directly draw upon the power of the Constellation.

However, after the starlight fell on Kronos, Star Sand felt no power at all.

Kronos clearly saw that the starlight was excluded from his body.

At first, Kronos was puzzled, but then he suddenly Consciousness something.

After Consciousness something, Kronos quietly increased the power of Concealment of Time.

After Kronos advanced to Sequence 5, the range of Concealment of Time increased, no longer limited to Kronos's body, but could be maintained within a range of one meter.

Kronos isn't using his Time Concealment as much right now, firstly because it consumes Spirituality, and secondly because it's unnecessary.

However, under Kronos's command, the Concealment of Time slowly expanded its range, starting from Kronos himself, gradually increasing in radius to ten centimeters, twenty centimeters... until it reached a meter.

And this starlight descending from Scorpio slowly dissipated as Time Concealment and the area became hidden.

After Kronos withdrew from this range, the starlight drew near again.

Kronos felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

While the previous three Constellation had taken the initiative, they had only revealed their positions. Kronos was puzzled that Scorpio would actually lower its power.

The results confirmed that this was not the power of Scorpio at all. It was probably some Outer Deity who discovered Kronos's behavior and wanted to try to establish a connection so that it would be easier to Descent later.

Perhaps this is how many people who have tried to observe the starry sky were inspired.

The methods of the Outer Deity are indeed difficult to guard against.
