Successful advancement

These are Kronos's true words.

If Kronos were asked to impersonate a Duke or a general, he would still have some confidence in this aspect.

But if you make Church of Steam and Machinery's Archbishop, you really have no confidence at all.

Let alone familiarity, he has never even seen him before, so how could he pretend to look like him?

Therefore, the best way is to use the help of others, and the person who is being helped, Kronos, also has an idea in his mind.

Who can be more suitable than Fan·Aisting Archbishop?

As a Archbishop who once worked for Republic of Intis, Fan Aisting hardly understands the operation of Church of Steam and Machinery's system Rules.

And as Mechanical Puppet, whom Horamick relies on most, when Horamick is not available, it shouldn't be unreasonable to help pass on Archbishop's orders, right?

So, with Old Fan and Kronos by your side, it is even more powerful.

But after listening to Kronos's story, Fan Aisting basically entered a state of despair.

He didn't expect that Kronos would dare to take on such a task.

There is some truth in what Arianna said. For example, all forces have preset Backlund as a restricted area for Angel, so as long as there are no major problems, no Angel will come to see Horamick.

But as a member of Council of the Gods, the connection between Horamick and Steam Cathedral is definitely much deeper than imagined.

If there is no way to distinguish the fake from the real, then as soon as Horamick appears on Council of the Gods, there will definitely be clues.

Kronos also knows this, but he also knows one thing.

That means the whole world will be in chaos.

As long as he disguises his identity before then, he will be able to escape directly.

So this risk is only a very short-term one.

And Kronos only needs to make one decision, that is, no matter what happens, never leave Backlund. Even if the secret is exposed, Church of Evernight can protect himself.

It's not that Kronos believes in Evernight Goddess's kindness, but that he knows that Evernight Goddess can use him.

Since the backer can protect him, it is not unacceptable to take advantage of the trend.

Just like Arianna said, his conventional promotion method has been completely blocked by Will, so he can only think of something unconventional.

Even if you can't get the Beyonder Characteristic of Knowledge Emperor from Church of Steam and Machinery, as long as you get the Angel of Potion Formula from the collection of Horamick, then the risk will be worth taking.

Kronos did not explain this to Fan Aisting, but his firm eyes told Old Fan the answer.

Having already made up his mind, Old Fan knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade her, it would be meaningless, so he stopped talking.

Seeing the state of Old Fan, Kronos knew that countermeasures against Old Fan must be left as soon as possible.

Originally, the two were in the honeymoon stage of their cooperation, and there would be no major problems in a short period of time, so there was no need to be so anxious.

But things are different now. I have to take him to do something extremely dangerous, so Old Fan is very likely to betray him at any time.

Thinking of this, Kronos gently dropped a drop of his blood into Home without Old Fan paying attention.

If you cultivate your own Worm of Time one day early, you can also feel confident about Old Fan one day early.

After that, Kronos began preparations for his promotion.

With Scholar of Yore, Beyonder Characteristic, and Kronos, you only need to prepare some auxiliary materials.

Although it is Potion of Sequence 3 level, the auxiliary materials are not that rare, and Church of Evernight is already in stock.

Potion is ready, all that's left is Advancement Ritual.

Advancement Ritual of Scholar of Yore is. "Create ten reasonable analysis diagrams of the nature of matter, and take Potion after being approved by the authority of knowledge."

I have to admit that Scholar of Yore and Sequence really suit Kronos.

This Sequence mainly studies the essence of matter in Real World. Because it has studied the essence, it can use its own ability to reversely decompose matter and reach a state close to the matter of Oblivion.

And studying the nature of matter is Kronos's special skill.

Before coming to this world, he studied chemistry.

In this world, the existence of Beyonder Ability hinders the development of chemistry.

Therefore, Kronos can only start from Materials Science to achieve his name as a scholar.

When it comes to understanding the nature of matter, even God of Steam and Machinery cannot compare with Kronos.

And Advancement Ritual of Sequence, in essence, is to find more anchors for Beyonder himself.

As Sequence gets taller and taller, Potion's influence on Beyonder himself becomes greater and greater.

In order to prevent Beyonder himself from being unable to resist the influence from Potion, more "witnesses" must be anchored to help Beyonder himself.

The previous analysis of Mythical Creature's blood was to anchor the knowledge in the blood.

This time, the material essence analysis diagram also uses knowledge to stabilize itself.

Only these two pieces of knowledge Sequence can help me with pure knowledge.

As for the analysis diagram of the essence of matter, it is really not a problem for Kronos.

Not to mention college, even in high school I learned some.

Many people in Church of Steam and Machinery will get stuck here because in their cognitive environment, they are simply unable to observe matter at such a deep level, so naturally they can only be blind.

Horamick is relatively lucky. He has strength and a certain amount of luck. The things he obtained are probably useful, so he was able to be promoted to Sequence 3 smoothly.

But after being promoted to Sequence 3, more results are needed to support him.

Not only the digestion of Potion, but also the improvement of one's own abilities require more knowledge.

During this period, Horamick's luck was not that good. Even if he tried his best, he still had no chance to completely overcome it.

Otherwise, with Horamick's qualifications and accumulation, it would have been Advancing to Angel long ago.

So after Church of Evernight's auxiliary materials were delivered, Kronos directly drew ten analysis diagrams of the essence of matter with a stroke of his pen, and was ready to directly complete Ritual.

If I want the authority of knowledge to recognize these analysis diagrams, there are mainly two aspects. One is that I have truly researched it, and the other is that it is unique and original. As long as the two aspects are combined into one, it will be fine.

These ten analysis charts are definitely not researched by Kronos himself, because he has not done any research in this area for even a minute.

But it's not possible to be original, because there are only a few "remnants" in this world.

Ancient Sun God, Evernight Goddess, Emperor Roselle, Klein.

Among them, Ancient Sun God, Evernight Goddess, and Klein are not the Sequence, and they will not affect these problems.

The only one is Emperor Roselle. He went all the way from Paragon Pathway to Sequence Two, and then transferred to Knowledge Emperor. He may have an influence.

Sure enough, as Kronos expected, only four of the ten material analysis charts were finally approved.

Having a "senior" like Roselle is really not a good thing.

It not only affects our Mr. Fool's path to wealth and show off, but most importantly, it affects Kronos's Sequence 3's path.

But Kronos was not afraid. He was studying chemistry after all, so he was not stumped by the ten analysis charts, so he started to draw new analysis charts.

At this time, Old Fan next to him was really shocked.

The material analysis diagrams of Alchemist stumped countless people, and surprisingly Kronos drew them one after another.

In the blink of an eye, there were already twenty-three, and only ten of them were recognized.

After the knowledge feedback arrived, Kronos didn't hesitate at all and drank the Potion in front of him in one gulp.

The promotion of Knowledge Pathway is considered a relatively mild one. It will not change Beyonder too much, and naturally it will not change Affliction too much.

The only thing is that you need to have more tenacity in willpower, so that you can more easily resist the influence of Potion.

Kronos's willpower is definitely the best, so when he was promoted to Demigod, he didn't even feel anything.

But this time it is different, because you need to transfer to Pathway. Even if it is Adjacent Pathways, there are still differences, and it is impossible to be promoted without feeling it.

As Potion entered his stomach, Kronos's brain seemed to have been hit hard with a stick. He was immediately confused, and the world in his eyes seemed to be spinning.

The next moment, Kronos clearly felt that a strange force had invaded his brain.

Although Potion will have a certain impact on the body, it ultimately makes the user possess Beyonder Ability by affecting the mind.

Therefore, after converting Pathway, the power of the new Pathway will naturally enter the brain immediately.

After this new power invaded the brain, Kronos's original power immediately responded and began to fight back.

Although the power of Paragon Pathway is that of Sequence 3, in terms of personality it should be higher than Hermit Pathway.

But Hermit Pathway and Kronos walked down to Sequence 4 step by step. Each Sequence Kronos controlled it perfectly, so the foundation is particularly solid, unlike Paragon Pathway which is like a castle in the air.

So for a while, the forces on both sides started an evenly matched battle.

This fight doesn't matter, Kronos has suffered a lot.

Every time there was friction between the two sides, Kronos's brain felt like it had been hit hard, twitching and painful.

This is what Arianna Lady said there is no danger. He feels that if he takes a few more blows, the person will be gone.

Perhaps they knew the limits of Kronos, so when they approached the limits of Kronos, the forces on both sides actually reached a tacit ceasefire.

Immediately afterwards, Kronos felt that the forces of the two parties began to slowly converge.

It seems that the previous battle was just a means of running-in. After experiencing running-in again and again, the two forces have reached a point of convergence.

Then relying on this point of convergence, the forces of the two parties began to merge.

In Kronos's view, this is the benefit of Adjacent Pathways. Because they are adjacent, they can find points of convergence with each other. This is the basis for integration.

If it is not adjacent Pathway, then there is basically no stable matching point, so it will be difficult to integrate.

Roselle hopes to grasp the common ground between Knowledge Emperor and Black Emperor, with the intention of creating a stable point of convergence, and then successfully convert it to Pathway.

But it is a pity that maybe he is not as crazy as Tudor, but he is definitely not in a normal state.

It can be seen that between non-adjacent Pathway, it is best not to try rashly.

Otherwise, the two abilities that cannot be completely integrated are constantly fighting in the brain, making Kronos confused every time, let alone continuing forever. It would be strange if he is not crazy.

As expected of Adjacent Pathways, the integration between the two forces was very rapid.

It didn't take long for the two forces to be completely connected and become one, and began to further integrate.

Switching to Pathway does not mean that all the abilities of Kronos have been transferred from Hermit Pathway to Paragon Pathway.

The abilities of Mysticologist can still be used, but the abilities of Scholar of Yore have been added.

As the fusion was slowly completed, the two energies merged into one, and Kronos slowly opened his eyes. His promotion was successful.

As soon as Kronos opened his eyes, he saw a Mechanical Puppet staring at him. This was naturally Old Fan.

Seeing Kronos's eyes clear, Old Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I can't hold on?" Kronos asked.

"It's been nearly four hours. It took a little long for you to transfer to Pathway. I'm afraid something went wrong."

Seeing that Kronos didn't seem to understand the situation, Old Fan explained, "The most important thing about converting Pathway is the integration of the two forces. At the very least, it must be able to make a preliminary connection. This is considered a success."

"But if you have a strong willpower, you can naturally wait for them to fit together, and then slowly merge until they are completely integrated. This way you will get twice the result with half the effort when digesting Potion."

"It's just that the longer it takes, the better the chance of willpower Loss of Control will be. So it takes a long time to see you, so naturally I am more worried."

Regarding these Executives times of knowledge, there is no record in the Argel Family, and Kronos had no idea about it before.

In fact, at the very beginning, when the two forces found a point of convergence, Kronos's promotion was already successful. However, Kronos didn't know it himself, so he persisted until the final integration.

After listening to Old Fan's explanation, Kronos just felt that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

This kind of treasure must not be let go easily. It must be tied to your side to help you complete the great cause of Infernal Affairs.
