Ed had noticed something strange a long time ago.
Perhaps it's because of its low rank, or perhaps it's because of some problem that cannot be currently identified.
In short, some of Little Green's abilities exhibit a very strange phenomenon --
That was a situation that was a mixture of distortion and irrationality.
The " Omniscience " of this suspected World Tree sapling is not as reliable as the traditional concept of Omniscience Authority.
Often, Ed needs to actually obtain a part of the observed object before he can activate Little Green's ability.
Whether it's blood or twigs, a small sample is needed.
For example, he had just completely killed a worm and obtained some of its blood.
Only after Little Green analyzed it did he arrive at the name Rosalind.
Rosalind, one of the seven vampire grand dukes, might be female based on her name.
Ed had been uncertain about her Authority before, but that's no longer an issue.
Rosalind is the Grand Duke who holds the Authority devouring, and is also one of the two Grand Dukes who are currently the most likely suspects.
Muller was one of her vampire marquises.
After the analysis, Ed quickly visualized the full picture of Rosalind's "devouring" of Authority:
[Grand Duchess Rosalind's Authority - Devouring]
The Low Tier high-ranking Blood Corpse (earls) of this lineage gain the ability " Gluttonous Body "—greatly enhancing their digestive and absorption abilities, bite force, and all attributes when in a satiated state. They can also generate a second mouth in their abdomen, which also possesses the ability to eat.
The Middle Tier Blood Corpse (Marquis) in this lineage gains the ability " Hunger Manifestation "—all flesh and blood can be transformed into worms, which can devour any flesh and blood and nutrients they come into contact with. After devouring to the limit, they can differentiate into more worms on their own, or return to their original body to return the nutrients.
High Tier Blood Corpse (Dukes) in this lineage gain the ability " Aspect of Origin "—shedding their physical bodies to become their most essential devouring desires, greatly enhancing all their attributes. The duration of this state can be extended by consuming food.
Special ability of the main body: Hunger Plague - Spreads a Psionic Energy plague, and those infected will be devoured by an insatiable appetite. Only by eating their own kind can they slightly alleviate the hunger.
The method for merging other lineages is to completely devour the body of a Grand Duke and thoroughly digest it to complete the consolidation of Authority.
Another numerical anomaly...
Ed looked at the description of Rosalind's abilities and asked in his mind:
"Can I use this ability?"
"Not for now. The Blood Corpse's abilities come from the progenitor, and we need a sample of the progenitor in the lineage before we can begin analyzing and replicating them. Of course, if we could just devour a Grand Duke, things would be much simpler."
Looking at the content that Little Green presented in his mind, Ed couldn't help but click his tongue.
Is the Grand Duke some kind of stray dog you can just get whenever you want him?
Judging solely from her Authority, Rosalind possesses a simple yet powerful strength, making her a late-game powerhouse.
Although it's still a bit weaker than her three exclusive abilities, it's normal for a despicable outsider to have a few more skills. Rosalind's abilities are already considered a bit overpowered in the World of Disorder.
In this way, Ed could also understand why Muller was able to possess the ability to have multiple lineages simultaneously.
The Blood Corpse of the York Lineage is in the Demon Realm. Muller most likely defeated an earl or marquis of the York Lineage in the Demon Realm in the past, and thus obtained dark abilities.
The origins of the abilities of Antos and the Adelaide Lineage are much easier to guess.
Muller infiltrated Klaf City, a city that sealed away almost two entire lineages of Blood Corpse and vampire nobles.
As an outsider with two different abilities, he was virtually untouchable here, except for the Grand Duke and the Duke.
Ed could easily imagine what it would be like for Muller to enter Klaf City; it would be almost no different from putting a rat in a granary.
The weakened brethren who had just broken free of their seal were like fresh and delicious dishes to Muller.
No wonder no Blood Corpse ever appeared to help Muller throughout the entire ordeal; they had already been swallowed by him.
Although Ed didn't know how long Muller had been in Klaf City, he had a feeling that the number of Blood Corpse he had personally killed was probably more than the vast majority of humans.
As expected, the most severe punishment the authorities could think of was simply to render the Blood Corpse harmless and then use it for work.
In contrast, Muller, who had been showing off his bloated and smug manner the whole way, clearly had more authority in the iZombie TV world than humans, and was at a level where Ed should have awarded him a medal.
After a moment of reflection, Ed fell into deep thought once more.
Although the source of Muller's many strange abilities has been answered, one question still lingers in Ed's mind—
When, how, and from where did Muller, the "spy" identified as the vampire marquis, enter Klaf City?
It should be noted that the Demon Realm, where Rosalind Lineage resides, is separated from Klaf City by two gatekeepers and half of the Wilderness of Chaos.
Unless this guy can teleport long distances, even if he flies over the middle section from high altitude, according to Gray's previous statement, he will be shot down by the steampunk airships that are special to the Graycast Corridor.
However, seeing Muller being brutally beaten like a gopher, Ed felt that his problem would soon be resolved.
Hopefully, he's a tough nut to crack.
"Lich!"
"Bang!"
"You've gone too far!"
"Bang!"
Perhaps having grown accustomed to the intervals between the alchemical golem's powerful attacks from a distance, Muller now has more and more to say each time he peeks out.
Ed shared the information that Muller was not of the Wens Lineage with the Lich, who clearly indicated that he had read it, but the intensity of the attack did not seem to decrease at all.
Muller is an arrogant guy; you'd have to capture him alive to get anything out of him.
Capturing a vampire marquis alive was something no one in the Second Holy See had ever done before.
Ed deduced that to get Muller to talk, he would have to completely submit.
To completely subdue someone like that, you have to force them to reveal all their cards.
Left with no other option, Ed sent out new instructions, which Willow quickly responded to.
Meanwhile, several players also received Ed's secret orders and began to quietly change positions.
Muller leaped out from a player's Shadow and launched another bite.
To his surprise, this time the iron fist, far exceeding his physical strength, did not appear nearby.
That lich's Psionic Energy has dried up!
Muller didn't have time to consider whether it was a trap or not, and immediately launched an attack on the nearest player.
His remaining physical strength no longer allowed him to hesitate.
With one bite, Muller felt as if a sticky lump had been stuffed between his teeth.
He looked down and saw that the attacked player was now enveloped in a hazy Psionic Energy shield.
Although his bite wasn't as forceful as when he attacked the boy, it was still a very serious strike, enough to pierce through a normal Psionic Energy barrier.
However, the lich actually cast three layers of protective spells. Although the strength did not change significantly, the thickness of the spells was obviously increased.
