Knowledge Mentor

As his physical body and Mythical Form continued to adapt, Kronos gradually felt that his state was becoming less stable.

Having reached this level, no part of Kronos remained human; he was entirely under the influence of the Potion and the power.

Therefore, without a way to stabilize one's own state, it is very easy to Loss of Control once one reaches the Angel level.

Fortunately, Kronos persisted in Angel the Nine Secrets Meditation every day, and his willpower was much stronger than that of people at the same level, so he was able to barely maintain stability.

Once you reach the Angel level, it becomes very difficult to be a lone wolf, because without enough anchors, maintaining stability is virtually impossible.

After finally managing to forcibly control the situation, Kronos prepared to utilize his prior arrangements.

He wasn't without anchors, just not many, since he still had his own influence at sea.

After the Potion was fully digested, Kronos contacted Gner and Todd. The two had no objection to supporting Kronos, so they had already been making preparations.

Kronos was not capable of making any significant movements at the moment; he merely stirred his Spirituality, and someone in the Spirit World received the alert and relayed the Message.

The one in the Spirit World is Olnia, who is responsible for delivering Kronos's Message in a timely manner.

Given Olnia's need for Kronos, in theory, the Sanguine could also give Kronos a push.

However, the number of Sanguine was indeed not very large, and they also had to support the anchors of three Duke, so it was really difficult for them to help. Therefore, Kronos did not mention this matter at all.

Olnia's Message quickly reached Gner and Todd.

Led by Gner and Todd, the entire crew of the Iron Anchor and the Flame chanted the same Honorific Name together.

"A seeker of esoteric knowledge;"

"Pioneers of modern Civilization"

"The Evernight’s Blessed;"

"The Mysterious Kronos."

As early as when he reached the Sequence 3 of advancement, Kronos could have had his own Honorific Name, but the limitations at that time were very high, so Kronos did not set his own Honorific Name so early.

Kronos's current status is no different from that of Angel, so he can sense the Honorific Name no matter where it is uttered.

The excavator of mystical knowledge and the pioneer of modern Civilization —these two phrases simultaneously represent the Hermit Pathway and the Paragon Pathway.

There may be others besides Kronos, but only Kronos is truly a follower of the Evernight, so this Honorific Name naturally refers only to Kronos.

These people don't need to chant the Honorific Name together during the promotion, but since they are not devout believers, it's still more effective to chant it.

At the same time, Kronos sensed his own anchor.

To Kronos's surprise, in addition to the people on the Pirate Ship, Kronos also sensed other anchors.

After a brief moment of observation, Kronos realized that this part of the faith was clearly directed towards Horamick.

As the Archbishop of the Church of Steam and Machinery, he could naturally receive a certain amount of faith from the church; otherwise, how could the church support the existence of several Angel at the same time?

Horamick himself is long dead; the one now using Horamick's identity is Kronos.

As for Van Aisting, his condition is special; he can't be considered still alive, so naturally it won't affect Horamick's faith.

Therefore, these beliefs, which pointed to Horamick, naturally fell to Kronos.

Kronos was quite surprised by this discovery; with this additional faith, his condition would certainly be able to stabilize.

We were initially worried that there wouldn't be enough people on the Pirate Ship, so we were planning to use another group of people as backup, but now we don't need to worry about that anymore.

Kronos's own willpower is already outstanding, so he doesn't need that many anchors; the current number is sufficient.

However, Horamick's anchors certainly had drawbacks, since they all came from the Church of Steam and Machinery.

Once Kronos's identity is exposed, the Church of Steam and Machinery will be able to undermine Kronos by reclaiming these anchors.

Therefore, temporary emergency situations shouldn't have much impact, but it's essential to have alternatives ready.

Putting all that aside for the moment, Kronos began to use the anchors.

With the power of the anchor, Kronos's Mythical Form gradually stabilized.

The Mythical Form gradually merged with the body, and Kronos gained complete control over the Mythical Form.

Therefore, under Kronos's control, his Mythical Form gradually dissipated, leaving only his physical body standing in place.

Even though the Argel Family knew a lot, they only had a superficial understanding of the ascension of Angel. Therefore, Marquis Argel could only keep a close eye on Kronos, fearing that something might happen to his son.

A few minutes later, Kronos gently opened his eyes, his gaze clear and lucid, devoid of madness or Loss of Control.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Marquis Argel rushed over excitedly and embraced his son tightly.

He was very happy that his son had achieved such success, and also relieved that nothing bad had happened to him.

In the world of the Beyonder, the higher you stand, the more likely an accident is to happen.

That evening, Argel Manor was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Not only Argel Manor, but all of the Argel Family's businesses were given a day off and received substantial bonuses.

The official explanation given was that something good had happened to the Marquis Argel, which was why he received this benefit.

If powerful forces were to investigate further, they would discover that Marquis Argel has been promoted to Demigod.

As for Kronos's situation, it was naturally impossible for it to be leaked.

Regarding Marquis Argel's ascension to Demigod status, no faction has expressed any particular stance.

This was mainly because the Marquis Argel had long since distanced himself from Backlund and had never expressed any intention to vie for power.

Given this level of understanding, all the various factions were still able to tolerate such a Demigod.

The celebrations at the Manor continued until after 10 p. m., and only after everything was over did Kronos have a chance to return to his room and properly study his newly acquired abilities.

Knowledge Mentor, Old Name Master, is someone who can alter the laws of physics to a certain extent.

Within the visible range of the Knowledge Mentor, all physical laws are under the Knowledge Mentor's control.

He can use the laws of physics to help him achieve all his goals, or he can change the originally reasonable laws of physics according to his own will, causing them to develop in another direction.

For example, gravity. If a Knowledge Mentor needs it, they can completely control all gravity within their range at will.

To increase gravity, reduce gravity, eliminate gravity, or even create anti-gravity.

If a Knowledge Mentor wanted to, He could float all the way to the Moon.

When Kronos learned of this ability, the first thing that came to his mind was the Rinnegan from Hokage.

Almighty Push, Universal Pull, and Planetary Devastation are all applications of gravity, and Knowledge Mentor can Replication them.

If the power of the Scholar of Yore leans more towards chemistry, then the power of the Knowledge Mentor leans towards physics.

In the eyes of the Knowledge Mentor, everything in the world is closely related to force. As long as one can control and change these forces, then everything in the world will be under His control.

Physics determines the world!

That's really high-class; it sounds impressive.

The logic is indeed correct, but Sequence Two still has its own limits. If those limits are exceeded, it will naturally become uncontrollable.

At this moment, Kronos somewhat regretted not studying physics back then. If he had understood the four fundamental forces and combined them with the abilities of his Knowledge Mentor, he should have been able to wield considerable power.

Since Kronos doesn't have as much knowledge in his head right now, he can only Replication some abilities from anime and novels, but they're still quite powerful.

Records of this Sequence within the Church of Steam and Machinery are scarce; it is generally described as teaching knowledge and helping others.

The God of Steam and Machinery resides above, possessing all three of the Sequence One Enlightener, thus the Knowledge Mentor is the end of this Sequence.

Therefore, there was not much point in trying to digest the Potion, so not much experience was left behind.

Occasionally, some with slightly greater ambitions might try to switch their Pathway to becoming the Knowledge Emperor, so they would expend some merit to consult the God of Steam and Machinery.

But ultimately, they didn't get any useful Information.

Stiano definitely had his own selfish motives.

Which True God wouldn't want to become Dual-Pathway True God, or even Great Old One?

So even if Stiano had a clear idea, he most likely wouldn't share it, let alone that he probably didn't have one.

In Kronos's judgment, Stiano likely knew very little about the Paragon Pathway.

The activation of the Hidden Sage blocked Stiano's path through the Hermit Pathway, so he had no choice but to turn to the Enlightener.

Therefore, Stiano had absolutely no experience as Knowledge Mentor.

Then, before the Enlightener had a clear understanding of what was happening, the time came, and He was propelled to the Divine Throne by that opportunity.

If it weren't for the appearance of Emperor Roselle, who indirectly helped him guide the development of the era and facilitated his assimilation of the Enlightener, it's hard to say what Stiano's current situation would be.

Therefore, even if Stiano wanted to teach his subordinates, he lacked the ability, because he was completely ignorant of his own Pathway.

In Kronos's view, Stiano had taken the wrong Pathway.

It's such a waste that such a darling of Fate didn't follow the Wheel of Fortune Pathway.

If He had chosen the Wheel of Fortune Pathway from the beginning, perhaps Fate would have truly pushed Him step by step to the Divine Throne, without any side effects.

It is precisely because of this God's incompetence that the overall strength of the Church of Steam and Machinery is indeed weaker than that of the other churches.

As for digesting the Potion from the Knowledge Mentor, Kronos had to figure out a way on his own.

Judging from the name, it should be related to knowledge and mentors, so it should involve the dissemination of knowledge.

Within the Church of Steam and Machinery, there is an Enlightenment Church, specifically overseen by an Grounded Angel whose status is second only to the Pope.

Firstly, it was to teach some promising young talents within the church; secondly, it was to assist the person in charge in digesting the Potion.

However, none of the successive leaders achieved satisfactory results.

That's why Greenton went to great lengths to give up this position, preferring to serve Stiano in the Perfect Land rather than remain the second-in-command in the Church of Steam and Machinery.

But in Kronos's view, this path was probably the wrong one.

The knowledge acquired through the Paragon Pathway is never the knowledge of the Beyonder, and therefore has little to do with the Beyonder.

If we're talking about imparting knowledge, perhaps teaching some physics and chemistry would be more suitable for Knowledge Mentor's digestion.

Kronos himself wasn't entirely sure about this guess and might need to try it out.

But it should at least be more reliable than teaching extraordinary knowledge in Enlightenment Church.

If this idea is correct, Kronos still has a suitable way to complete this digestion.

Although Kronos hadn't paid attention to it for a long time, he knew that the Scientific Research Base he had spearheaded back then had already gained considerable fame in Backlund, the Loen Kingdom, and even the entire Northern Continent.

Before leaving Backlund, Kronos organized many ideas and handed them over to Professor Portland.

Following these ideas, and with the help of many top Scientists, Professor Portland achieved numerous results.

Because of the strong friendship between Kronos and Portland, Kronos's name is on all these achievements.

Kronos wasn't too concerned about the economic benefits of these achievements, but the reputation was undeniable, and the Backlund Technical University had already successfully started its enrollment process.

Kronos can teach at Backlund Technical University anytime he wants.

If imparting scientific knowledge could truly facilitate the digestion of Potion by Knowledge Mentor, Kronos couldn't even imagine how enjoyable a large lecture with hundreds of students would be.

It probably won't be long before the Potion is completely digested.

If Kronos wants to accomplish this plan, he should return to Backlund openly and legitimately.

Kronos has basically never left Backlund during this long period of time, but he has always done so under other identities.

This time, he might be able to return under his true identity.

This would not only allow them to complete their own plans, but also buy more time for the Argel Family to develop.

Kronos is the only son of Marquis Argel and the sole heir of the Argel Family. Once Kronos returns to Backlund, the attention from various factions towards the Argel Family will decrease.

Therefore, Kronos acts as a provocateur, diverting attention away from the Argel Family's power.
