worked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he naturally made a few guesses about the illusory Omniscient Eye and Pure White Angel blocking the passage:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could those have been created by Twenty-Five Dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why is the Pure White Angel so much stronger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only those items and ’spots,’ but even the Omniscient Eye itself is relying on

Omniscient Eye and himself—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and understood that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the so-called \"early access to next Sequence abilities\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was the Omniscient Eye shifting its power according to his will,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>adding as much leverage to him as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, though he could \"see through\" the

point—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>my processing power has risen again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>likely reaching Sequence 2 level, a qualitative leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This means:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can now use the Pure White Eye to preliminarily see through the mysteries of Authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I cannot ’create’ Sequence 3 characteristics, or simulate many Sequence 3 abilities,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is because Sequence 3 already borrows the power of Authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, Sea King in ocean

accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But fortunately, I have countless lifetimes of memories at Sequence 3 and above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least for Wheel of Fortune, Moon, Death, Door,
