Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 46 We Are All Civilized People

Hermione took the initiative to change the subject, causing a hint of doubt and regret to flash across Amanesis's eyes.

This nearly one year of contact allowed Him to confirm that Hermione had the most simple desires, and that these desires were directed towards Him.

Coincidentally, He felt that this desire of His seemed to be slowly growing.

This kind of desire is also a part of human nature, so He took the initiative to bring up this topic, wanting to see if this desire would have any impact on Him.

But He did not expect that Hermione would avoid the subject.

He wondered what Hermione was worried about...

Afraid of being rejected by Him?
This idea is a bit ridiculous. Hermione doesn't seem like such a sensitive and fragile person.

Although he felt doubtful and regretful, he quickly adjusted himself and asked, "Which Beyonder characteristic do you want to exchange for?"

Concentrating on arranging a new sacrificial ritual, Hermione replied, "'Hanged Man' Path Sequence Three, 'Three-Headed Temple'."

"The Hanged Man's Path..." Amanesis moved aside and asked, "You seem to know the names of many pathway sequences?"

He smiled meaningfully and said, "You didn't name these, did you?"

After re-carving the "Hanged Man" symbol, Hermione shrugged and said, "It's a remnant of that huge light and shadow... But for now, I can still say it was named by me."

Amanisis wondered what it meant to count.

Hermione explained:

"Paths and sequences objectively exist in this world. It's just that so far, no living being in the world has discovered them and named them. Well, it's like the periodic table of elements."

"Periodic table..." Amanesis's expression suddenly became clear. The familiar words from another world made him truly and thoroughly understand the sequence of pathways, while also bringing up some nostalgia for that other world.

He still remembered the loneliness that had arisen when he first arrived in the alien world, the disordered, brutal, and crazy life in the Demon Wolf Kingdom, and the influence of the Beyonder characteristics within his body. These had all caused him to unconsciously abandon his humanity and become cold and indifferent.

To Him, this strange world is like an ocean full of malice.

Until He followed His intuition and picked up the human Hermione...

The place where he lived with Hermione was like an isolated island, allowing him to breathe and gradually rediscover his own humanity.

This was the case in the Demon Wolf Kingdom, and it was even more so after coming to the Ilusha tribe, so He was determined to build a house for the two of them in the tribe.

He wanted to use Hermione's influence to regain his humanity, fight against the madness that came from divinity, and fight against the influence of "Source Castle".

However, contrary to his expectations, in the process of regaining his humanity, his emotions also became richer...

At this time, Hermione continued to explain:

"In fact, I now have the ability to display the names of all the sequences of the twenty-two pathways on the 'Slate'." After the dream space was formed, Hermione, whose connection with the Profane Slate deepened, could confirm that she possessed this ability.

"But it's just an empty shell. I don't know the potion formula and promotion ritual corresponding to the sequence. For example, the promotion ritual for the 'Knight of Disaster' requires you to be pulled into the space before the 'Slate' fully manifests."

The content on the blasphemous stone tablet is a manifestation of God's "omniscience and omnipotence" authority and is the only correct path to becoming a god in the mysterious world.

The essence will not change, but the sequence and the names of the materials on the stone slabs will change with the development of the times and the will of the powerful beings at the top of certain paths.

Hermione hesitated, then added:

"The 'Kings' currently at the top of the Path actually possess the ability to name sequences, but they haven't yet understood the concepts of Path and Sequence, and naturally won't use this authority."

Upon hearing this, Amanisis pondered for a moment and asked, "Will the change in the sequence name have any impact?"

Hermione paused, forming her words, and replied, "Changing the name won't alter the fundamental power of the Sequence, but it will lead to significant shifts in the overall ideology of the Beyonders within that path."

Thinking of the nonsense of a certain Midnight Poet in the original story, she laughed again and said, "For example, if I were a Sequence 0 of the Dark Path, I could change the sequence name from 'Midnight Poet' to 'Midnight Howler'."

Having said this, Hermione looked at Amanesis provocatively and said rather proudly, "Of course, I can change it now that I hold the slate."

Amanesis didn't seem annoyed when he heard this, and smiled back, "Really? I'd like to see who will become the Midnight Screamer..."

Sensing the danger of dying if she tried, Hermione, knowing she still needed to grow, coughed softly and continued, "Just kidding. Howlers are not as gentle as poets. We are all from a civilized era."

In response, Amanesis chuckled, then asked seriously, "What would happen if you and Sequence Zero of this pathway changed the sequence name of this pathway at the same time?"

Having arranged the ritual, Hermione stood up. Upon hearing this question, she answered without hesitation, "Of course, the will of Sequence Zero of this Path Sequence will be dominant."

The Blasphemy Slate was essentially a deduction from "God," not a setting. Holding the Blasphemy Slate, she certainly couldn't compete with the Sequence Zeros for the naming rights.

Even the true God, the "Original Creator", can only influence those pathways that correspond to His containment of the Source Matter. He cannot fully cover the twenty-two pathways on Earth, at least the pathways of the Lord of Mysteries and the Outer Gods cannot be affected.

Seeing that Hermione had already begun preparing for the ceremony of praying for the gift, Amanesis stopped asking questions and took the initiative to avoid the question. His figure disappeared from the study, and the hidden power enveloped the place.

Hermione, concentrating her consciousness, chanted the Honorable Name once more. She saw mountains of spiritual material continuously filling up the dream space through the illusory "Gate of the Kingdom".

The spirituality within the towering stone statue in the dream space thus became enriched.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Three-Headed Holy Temple" separated from its body, causing its abundant spirituality to wither away again.

The extraordinary characteristics of the "Three-Headed Temple" brought a strong sense of temptation to Hermione.

"Fully automatic separation... I thought I had to pry it out from the stone statue myself." Hermione complained, trying to resist the temptation. She quickly took the initiative to guide it, responding to her own prayers and injecting the extraordinary characteristics of the "Three-Headed Holy Temple" into the illusory channel.

Almost in the blink of an eye, this Beyonder landed on the altar in the study.
