The Psychology Alchemists

As knowledge continued to be absorbed, Kronos felt as if he were facing a bottomless pit.

Not long afterward, he began to feel his strength waning.

Although the intention was merely to solidify this knowledge, for the Knowledge Emperor, knowledge was power.

The knowledge flowing from his mind possesses a corresponding degree of power.

To solidify all this knowledge into the Figurines you create is no easy task; it's almost like creating a puppet at the Angel Level.

With his current strength, it's simply impossible for him to accomplish this.

At this moment, Kronos finally understood why the power of the Blasphemy Card only reached Sequence Two; it truly couldn't go any higher.

Having realized this, Kronos decisively withdrew his power, as there was no need to continue wasting it.

To achieve the state of Blasphemy Card, it's not difficult to gather several Playing Cards together and unleash the power of Sequence One strike. As long as a small amount of power is left within them, it can be accomplished by accumulating small amounts over time.

Therefore, at this point, Kronos could be considered to have successfully created an object comparable to the Blasphemy Card.

Looking at the Hermit Figurines in front of him, Kronos felt a sense of accomplishment.

I don't know if I will eventually succeed in ascending to True God, or if I will be killed by the Hidden Sage or Stiano.

If I ultimately fail, the Figurines will perhaps become what I leave behind in this world, just like Blasphemy Card.

With that thought in mind, Kronos picked up his carving knife and gently engraved "God's Figurine" on the back of the Figurines.

The name "desecrate Figurines" is simply too offensive, so Kronos should give it a name in advance.

After completing this action, Kronos gently placed the Figurines on the Table in front of him and then began making the other Figurines.

Based on his own energy level, Kronos could only make two or three replicas a day; making more would be too taxing on him.

Therefore, Kronos plans to complete the Paragon Figurines today as well.

When creating the Paragon Figurines, Kronos was very careful.

It's not for any other reason than that this Pathway leads to the True God.

The tragic lesson of Blasphemy Card demonstrates that the True God can indeed influence all forces within this Pathway.

Therefore, if Kronos shows any signs of agitation, Stiano might actually come knocking on his door.

At this moment, the only person capable of creating such an item is likely someone like him, who copied Perfect Land.

That would be troublesome.

Therefore, Kronos layered his Power of Time with several times as a safety net before daring to make his move.

While Kronos didn't understand the Paragon Pathway as well as the Hermit, he had actually switched to Pathway and infiltrated the Church of Steam and Machinery for a long time, so he understood it better than those who didn't understand Pathway.

First, use the knowledge of the Paragon as the foundation for encompassing everything.

Then, the Savant, Archaeologist, Appraiser, Mechanical Expert, Astronomer, Alchemist, Scholar of Yore, and Knowledge Mentor —one Sequence after another—was solidified into the Figurines.

This time, Kronos only attempted to input a small amount of knowledge from the Sequence One Enlightener, and after completing the entire Pathway, he stopped.

After completing the two Figurines, Kronos felt quite exhausted.

This is no easier than fighting, and it's even more tiring than taking down two Angel.

However, the exhaustion was worthwhile, as at least Kronos's Potion digestion rate was quite impressive.

Having accomplished his goals for the day, Kronos meditated for a while before leaving his room.

Going home is largely about spending more time with family, so how can you just stay in your room?

Duke Argel had already returned by then.

It was the Duke who notified him, and no matter how busy the Duke of Argel was, he went straight home.

Upon seeing Kronos, Duke Argel actually felt a sense of relief.

The reason for this behavior is ultimately Kronos's own problem.

During this time, he stayed in the Twilight Hermit Order and was very engrossed in it.

Therefore, the Duke of Argel tried to contact him several times, but ultimately received no response.

In this situation, how could he not overthink things?

The old father went through the whole process, from being hunted down by True God to going out of control and Loss of Control mad. If he hadn't already been Demigod, he would have scared himself to death.

He was relieved to see that Kronos was safe and sound.

At the dinner table that evening, Kronos asked, "Father, are there any problems with the western defenses and the army? If there are any issues, please let me know; perhaps I can help you resolve them."

Duke Argel smiled and shook his head, then said, "The Loen Kingdom is currently focused on Backlund, wanting to know who will gain the upper hand between Negan and Levitt."

Therefore, there is absolutely no one to hinder us from addressing the problems in the west.

"The war has only just ended, so both the Republic of Intis and the Feynapotter Kingdom are quiet, creating a favorable environment for me to take over their power."

"Therefore, the journey was smooth and without any problems."

Given Kronos's current abilities, Duke Argel had no way of hiding anything from him.

So since Duke Argel's demeanor was normal, it meant that this was not a lie.

Although Kronos didn't care about these trivial matters, his father did, and he hoped the family could rise to prominence, which was why he paid attention to these things.

For the rest of the time, Kronos stayed in Conston City, spending his days with his family.

His only real job was making one or two Figurines every day to accelerate the consumption of Potion.

The rest of the time was spent either chatting with her mother or staying by her Younger Sister's side, playing with her, and teaching her about occult knowledge.

This pleasant life allowed Kronos to relax completely, both physically and mentally, and he felt that he had become much more humane.

Although Kronos had prepared enough anchors for himself, he was no longer a person, so his humanity was still somewhat affected.

Spending time with his family and experiencing the warmth of everyday life has indeed been quite beneficial to his well-being.

It was precisely because he sensed this that Kronos slowed down his production of the Figurines, wanting to take a little more time.

During Kronos's "vacation," a small incident occurred.

During a Tarot Club, Audrey approached him and offered to become a member of the Psychology Alchemists's Review Board Member.

Honestly, if Audrey hadn't brought it up, Kronos would have completely forgotten about it.

Audrey had originally become a member of this committee, codenamed "Pride," because she had succeeded Hvin Rambis in his position.

However, the one who chose Audrey was Baoli Dellau, a victim of Kronos's blade.

Because Baoli was already dead, the Psychology Alchemists was now riddled with holes and no one was repairing it.

Audrey had considered this decision for a long time.

After all, joining a Secret Organizations and becoming a Executives is no ordinary matter.

Audrey's decision was influenced by everything she had experienced recently.

After the failed Apotheosis Ritual of George III, Feysac, Intis, and Feynapotter jointly invaded Loen. The Loen Kingdom suffered repeated defeats, and the allied forces besieged Backlund. Under the influence of the war, the economy was devastated, a large number of poor people lost their jobs, and food supplies were in short supply.

Audrey tirelessly sought to raise food to relieve the poor, but still could not solve the problem. She then decided to use her Beyonder Ability to manipulate and organize demonstrations by the impoverished masses, forcing merchants and nobles who had hoarded large quantities of food to donate it.

At this very moment, her father, whom she had always regarded as Justice and kind, was already preparing how to surrender to the new country.

Later, Audrey decided to go to the front lines to fight, doing her best to help Loen not collapse before the end of the War of the Gods. She fought against Admiral Feysac in front of the Allied Forces' positions and survived the Allied Forces' retreat caused by the apocalyptic phenomenon of the God of Combat's fall.

All of this made her realize that her previous life had been too "pure," which prevented her from seeing the real world.

But she was already Demigod; she shouldn't be living in that kind of environment.

So she chose to abandon her previous life and try a completely different one.

Baoli was no longer in the script at this point, so she naturally turned to Kronos.

Kronos did not comment on Miss Justice's decision.

This was the path she was meant to take; she was merely offering Fate a chance to correct itself.

Therefore, after that Tarot Club, Kronos contacted Adam directly.

At this point, Adam was already considering rebuilding the Psychology Alchemists. This organization was indeed a good Gloves for the Twilight Hermit Order, so it was still necessary for it to continue existing.

After receiving Kronos's Message, he finally made up his mind to have Hermes lead the Psychology Alchemists again and rebuild its power.

Hermes was quite loyal to Adam and was therefore one of Adam's Confidant, so Kronos was not surprised that he made this decision.

According to Kronos, Hermes chose to flee mainly because he was frightened.

Hermes was the Angel Discerner of the Visionary Pathway; he had reached a complete dead end.

The White Tower, the Tyrant, the Sun, the Visionary, and the Hanged Man all have True God, so there is no place for Archangel.

However, after Adam merged with the True Creator, perhaps a position for a Dark Angel could be made available for him. Therefore, logically speaking, continuing to follow Adam would be the right choice.

However, he learned a Message from the Mind Dragon Ariehogg: Adam was the Ancient Sun God, and this so-called son of the god was merely a backup plan for his Resurrection.

How could this Message not frighten Hermes?

Adam had a grand plan in mind, and it didn't seem like something easy.

As someone with such deep cunning, wouldn't he choose to leave himself a backup plan?

If Adam wanted to have a backup plan for Resurrection, to whom should he entrust this plan?

In Hermes's view, "Who else but me!"

Of course, he wasn't that proud of it.

Therefore, he had to run. The position of Archangel was not as important as his own life. He didn't want to risk his life for Adam's plan.

That's why he eventually took everything from the Garden of Garden of Eden and went elsewhere to rebuild the Psychology Alchemists.

However, Adam was unaware of these things at the time, so Hermes naturally became the best choice.

After giving this order, Hermes immediately summoned all the current members of the Psychology Alchemists to assess the losses.

Audrey took the place of "Gluttony," so what's now vacant is "Pride" after Hvin's death and "Wrath" ceded by Hermes.

Only by filling all the committee positions can the Psychology Alchemists operate more effectively.

Hermes then began searching for potential members within the Psychology Alchemists who could be promoted to Demigod, hoping to get the Psychology Alchemists running at full capacity as quickly as possible.

After Audrey attended the meeting in the Garden of Garden of Eden, she reported this Message directly to Kronos.

When Cronus saw that Hermes was in charge of the Psychology Alchemists, Kronos simply smiled and made no comment.

He also had no interest in reminding Adam.

We're just allies, not blood brothers, there's no need to do so much.

Moreover, in Kronos's view, the escape of Hermes was not a significant loss for Adam, who had become half of the Great Old One.

Instead of wasting time like this, you'd be better off spending time with your family.

Kronos spent a month and a half in Constant City this time, which was the result of his best efforts to delay.

When he first came back, he was making two Figurines a day.

Later, it became one per day, supposedly to save more energy and make the craftsmanship more refined.

By the end, it was happening every two days, and they didn't even bother to find reasons for their changes anymore.

But even if it's delayed any longer, there are only twenty-two ways to Pathway it, and it will eventually be finished.

After finishing all twenty-two Figurines, Kronos stayed at home for several more days, reluctant to leave the warmth of his home.

But no, there are many things waiting for Kronos to accomplish.

He knew that after leaving home this time, his next return might be after the battle with the Hidden Sage.

His departure now is to allow him to possess power comparable to that of the Hidden Sage.

Because he is preparing to become the King of Angel.
