Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 84 The Phantom Sea Scroll
The Book of No Thought was struggling, but every page it turned was crushed under its weight.
He trembled a few times, then forcibly changed the book's title on the cover to "The Pirates of Sisyphus".

A massive pirate ship roared out of the book, but only its bow was visible before it was crushed into pieces.

As if defying all superstition, the Book of No Thoughts then changed its title.

However, the leopard-shaped demon that had just appeared was instantly killed.

"Not honest yet?"

Caesar opened his hand and grasped it loosely. The leather cover was pulled and stretched to both sides. The stitching of the spine was stretched to its limit, as if it would be torn in two if any more force was applied.

Under this pull, the entire book trembled, and the title immediately changed to "Nothingness".

The Book of No Thought flickered, then was enveloped in a layer of hazy light.

But this kind of etherealization only applies to the real world; here, all its struggles are futile for Caesar.

The intangible state lasted only two seconds and had no effect whatsoever. Caesar still held it firmly, and it looked like it was about to be torn in two.

Finally, the Book of No Thoughts yielded; the title on its cover changed almost instantly, like a desperate cry from a dying man:

Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!

Caesar flicked his hand, and it collapsed onto the floor of the hall, its cover turning back and forth like an exhausted person collapsing and panting.

After catching my breath for a while, the title on the cover changed to:

I Want to Negotiate

"A book of defeat, dares to negotiate terms?" Caesar said.

My most valuable ability is one that only I can use.

If you let me go, I'll grant you any request.

You'll get nothing if you destroy me.

This passage is quite long, and it appears on the cover in batches.

If you'd like, I can also tell you how to use it.

This is an absolutely worthwhile deal.

"I don't need you to tell me how to use you."

Caesar reached out and grabbed it; the Book of No Thought was immediately pulled toward him.

A buzzing sound rang out, and the Book of No Thoughts suddenly realized that every page of its pages was being invaded, and every part of its soul was being scanned.

Analysis, a fourth-order spell, reveals all information about an object. However, as a fourth-order spell, it requires the object to be a defined object. Objects that have never been seen before cannot be analyzed.

This is generally used to analyze magical artifacts that were obtained or seized unexpectedly.

The Book of No Thoughts had previously been contained by the Rhine Bureau, so its information must have already been recorded.

About ten minutes later, a series of analytical messages unfolded before Caesar:

[The Book of No Thought: An ordinary-looking book with a cover made of an unknown brown leather. The cover and contents are usually blank. Once the ability is activated, the cover and contents will switch to the corresponding ability's style.]

[Laboratory Containment Number: 0-016]

[Danger Level: Tsunami Level (Extremely dangerous; application for use requires the approval stamps of at least three laboratory supervisors)]

[Containment Item Characteristics: This containment item contains seven different literary works and can project the content of these works into reality. The containment item itself possesses high intelligence, is communicative, and frequently uses the promise of granting wishes as bait to fool humans. After long-term observation, this behavior has no practical use and seems to be merely a hobby of its.]

[Note 1: The seven works displayed by the contained object have no real-world origin and are self-generated.]

[Work 1: *The Pirates of West Sissfria* This work tells the story of Captain Tequila, who pilots a ghostly pirate ship called the Tyrant Shark in search of treasure in the waters of West Sissfria. Effect: Projects the captain and the Tyrant Shark pirate ship into the real world. The pirate ship has the ability to navigate any terrain and is equipped with an unlimited number of cannons. The crew consists of skeleton monsters that can be summoned at will.]

[Note 2: Unconfirmed ability. If one gains the captain's trust and joins the Tyrant Shark, there is a certain possibility of obtaining the treasure coordinates and acquiring a real treasure in the real world.] [Work Two: "Solomon and the Seventy-Two Demons" The content differs somewhat from the legendary story of King Solomon. Switching to this work allows the demonic entities from the book to be projected into reality. However, the demonic entities' combat power is tied to the summoner's; the stronger the summoner, the stronger the demon.]

[Note 3: It's not actually possible to summon 72 demons. After numerous experiments and calculations, a total of 6 demons can be selected and projected into reality. However, it's uncertain whether this is related to the summoner's ability. Each summoning requires randomly sacrificing an inch of the summoner's skin as a price.]

[Work Three: *The Forest of Sambamilan*, a clearly horror novel, depicting a primeval forest inhabited by numerous ghouls. Its use summons a primeval forest, capable of altering the surrounding environment in the shortest time, and allows the user to choose whether to summon a forest teeming with ghouls.]

[Work Four: "The Cuckoo's Call" tells the story of Susan, a girl with autism, and how she helps those around her overcome their psychological trauma. Once activated, her abilities grant immunity to all mental attacks and allow her to freely enter the inner world of everyone, guided by Susan.]

[Note 4: If you disregard the contained object itself, this is a very heartwarming story, but to get Susan to lead you into her inner world, you first need to gain her trust, which is not easy.]

[Work 5: Gladiator, a very ordinary work about gladiators in an ancient arena, but when the power is activated, it will cause the surrounding creatures to enter a beast-like state, losing their sense of pain and rationality, becoming animals that only know how to kill.]

[Work Six: "Nothingness," as the title suggests, contains a complete blank. When switching to this work, both the contained object and the user will enter a state of nothingness, immune to all damage, for a period of only two seconds.]

[Note 5: This effect is more like being removed from the material world for two seconds.]

[Work Seven: "Carnival," the meaning of which is unclear; it merely depicts young men and women indulging in unrestrained revelry during a festival, and its power is to amplify the darkest desires within the human heart of a particular region.]

[Note 6: Unlike Gladiator, this work had a far more detrimental impact; more terrifying than mere killing was the darkness of human nature.]

[Note 7: In addition to the seven works mentioned above, according to the Book of No Thought itself, it also possesses an ability that can only be used by itself, and this ability can satisfy all human desires. However, this claim has never been proven through long-term experiments and is merely a deceptive claim.]

The following content consisted of long-standing containment logs from the Rhinek Bureau, which Caesar only glanced at briefly.
“It seems your reputation isn’t very good,” Caesar said.

Clearly, Lawrence was likely one of those deceived by it, probably believing its lies and ultimately losing his life.

It's all slander; everything I said is true.

"Only a bunch of fools don't deserve my favor, that's why they don't believe me!"

It's obvious that it's in a hurry.

“I have no interest in listening to your nonsense. I’m giving you two choices: be destroyed by me, or submit to me,” Caesar said calmly.

The cover remained silent for a moment, then the title appeared: "What Benefits Would I Gain By Surrendering to You?"

"You still don't understand our current situation."

Two forces grabbed the book from both sides and pulled it in opposite directions.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

The text immediately appeared on the cover.

“Very good,” Caesar raised a finger, and a silver lock suddenly appeared on the book cover.

"This lock can freeze you for at least three seconds, and those three seconds are enough for me to pull you into the Formless Heavenly Realm. Of course, I don't want to do that either. Do you understand what I mean?"

"clear"

It certainly understood that by then, once it entered, it would most likely face certain death.

The Book of No Thoughts quieted down, but Caesar was not at ease.

After reading about the abilities of its seven books, he also felt that this contained object was quite useful, and it would be best if it could be put to his own use.

However, this kind of thing, which can think independently and is also quite cunning, is quite troublesome to control. In future interactions, it is still necessary to be prepared to take precautions. It is advisable to test it first for the time being.

“Furthermore, now that you belong to me, you also need to change your name,” Caesar said.

After all, the name "Book of No Thoughts" sounds similar to "Heavenly Realm of No Forms" in the Iro language. To make it easier to pronounce and as a kind of ritual after the change of ownership, he still planned to change the name.

What's Your Name?

"To keep it simple, I'll just call you that." Caesar thought for a moment and then said, "The Scroll of the Illusory Sea."
