Chapter 143: Child of Fantasy

"This Angel, would you like to learn about our Supreme Lord?"

Suddenly, a voice exploded in the ear of the "Angel of Knowledge," startling the Angel so much that he abruptly turned to look at the figure that seemed to have been behind him all along.

The newcomer wore a plain white divine robe, his hair was groomed meticulously, his face appeared slightly aged, his eyes were pale gold, and he carried the scent of dense Dream Phosphor.

"Are you the Pope of the Dream Sect?" The "Angel of Knowledge" remembered the identity of the person before him.

"I am merely a follower of the Supreme Dream; I dare not claim the exalted title of Pope." Hermes' golden eyes held a certain majesty as he stared directly at this "Angel of Knowledge."

In Hermes' perception, this Angel was too rude and arrogant, using his own abilities to pry into the secrets of the Dream Sect without restraint.

"Omniscience!" The gaze of the "Angel of Knowledge" fell upon Hermes, and the "Crown of Omniscience" atop his head flashed with a faint light, as a certain ability belonging to Sequence 1 of the White Tower Pathway was bestowed upon the "Angel of Knowledge."

Sequence 1 of the White Tower Pathway, "All-Knowing Eye"—one can infer the most obvious characteristic of this sequence from its name.

"Omniscience" is the most powerful ability of the "All-Knowing Eye."

Going a step further than the "Insightful One" in perceiving the rules of the world, the "All-Knowing Eye" is sufficient to analyze any knowledge of pathways below Sequence 1, and even has a powerful analytical effect on Angels of the same Sequence 1.

The brass color in the eyes of the "Angel of Knowledge" grew increasingly intense, and the faint light flickering within them broke through a level in a certain instant.

At this moment, this "Angel of Knowledge" had even attained the status and power of Sequence 1.

Hermes frowned; these people from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom were all lunatics. Not only did they love to show off their knowledge, but they also had a pathological possessiveness toward knowledge they had not yet mastered!

He pointed a finger lightly, and a "Mental Storm" crashed down.

He was also a Sequence 2 of the Visionary Pathway!

"God is with me!" The "Angel of Knowledge" was praying to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

This caused the power of the crown on his head to grow increasingly strong, bestowing a divine blessing upon the "Angel of Knowledge" for a short time, suppressing the mental upheaval.

And the effect of this divine blessing was even able to reduce all mental-type attacks to their lowest point.

The power of the Visionary Pathway was suppressed.

Hermes frowned, using the Collective Subconscious Sea to teleport and jump away, distancing himself from the bustling city and arriving outside the city where there was less human activity.

"Why leave?" The "Angel of Knowledge" pursued relentlessly, and he actually revealed a sense of confusion, "The exchange between knowledge should be a feast."

"When you use 'Omniscience,' this is no longer a fair exchange of knowledge."

Hermes had the constant illusion that all his secrets were exposed to the eyes of the "Angel of Knowledge."

But as the person in charge of the Dream Sect, many things on him could not be seen!

"The Lord will forgive you, but before that, I may have to send you to meet Him." The gold in Hermes' eyes faded, and points of Dream Light gradually appeared on his body.

"This is it!" The "Angel of Knowledge" widened his eyes abruptly, watching those Dream Lights with fascination, wanting to decipher the occult knowledge within them.

After being filtered by Hermes, these powers from the Dream Book already carried the knowledge of the "Dream" Pathway that Hermes himself had mastered, so it was feasible to analyze the knowledge within using "Omniscience."

Hermes pressed his palms together lightly, and these Dream Lights rippling outside his body suddenly became another kind of thing.

They became "Mirrors," isolating and reflecting the "Omniscience" that was prying into the dream knowledge.

"An Angel of the 'Dream' Pathway?!" The "Angel of Knowledge"'s expression changed slightly.

As the current Pope of the Dream Sect and almost the earliest follower of the Supreme Dream, Hermes had long since become an Angel in the "Gift" system!

Sequence 2 of the "Dream" Pathway, "Child of Fantasy"!

Having become a "Dream" Pathway Angel, Hermes was already able to drive the Dream Light to shape itself according to his will into all sorts of incredible things, leaving behind various dreamlike deeds.

The power of the "Child of Fantasy" and the power of the Visionary Pathway were a perfect match, sufficient to exert an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

"This system outside of Potions is indeed full of infinite potential; I am even more interested in it now." The "Angel of Knowledge" suddenly became excited.

"Lightning Storm!" The "Angel of Knowledge" threw out the Lightning Storm he had "mimicked," intending to test the limit of the "Mirror"'s ability.

This "mimicked" ability was similar to the "Record" of a "Recorder," both being somewhat weaker than the original ability.

"Disperse!" Hermes gave a light shout, and the crazily raging Lightning Storm disintegrated into points of Spirituality and scattered after entering the radiation range of the Dream Light.

This was already the manifestation of Fantasy descending into Reality at the Sequence 2 stage.

For an Angel at this stage, it was already a very unsolvable ability.

The "Angel of Knowledge" reached out his hand, stimulating the "Crown of Omniscience" on his head to its strongest state, and used "Mimicry."

This was the power of the "Scholar of Yore" from the White Tower Pathway; now that the "Angel of Knowledge" was using it with Sequence 1 status, it was sufficient to mimic all abilities below Sequence 1.

It was just... this was slightly difficult.

The "Omniscience" vision suddenly cleared up; the "Angel of Knowledge" was pleasantly surprised, feeling he had found an opportunity.

But what appeared in the "Omniscience" vision was a behemoth that the "Angel of Knowledge" had never seen before.

"How is this possible?" The "Angel of Knowledge" was stunned for a moment; he saw the "Dream" Pathway constructed from four Authorities.

The "Angel of Knowledge" often used this ability, but no other pathway could compare to the "Dream" Pathway in terms of complexity!

This was too complex and too terrifying for "Mimicry"!

This was truly an Angel of Sequence 2 of the "Dream" Pathway...

Crack!

The "Crown of Omniscience," having endured a certain power, directly shattered; this artifact, which carried the blessing of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, fell into Destruction because it could not withstand the essence of the complex knowledge of "Dream."

The "Angel of Knowledge" stood there stiffly, at a loss.

Who could have foreseen this result?

It was the first time the "Angel of Knowledge" had seen knowledge that was completely impossible to "simulate" or understand!

"No... impossible!" For a moment, the "Angel of Knowledge" was dumbfounded, having the illusion that his faith was collapsing.

"There is nothing impossible."

Hermes was also somewhat surprised, but in the world of dreams, everything was reasonable.

"Repent to the Supreme Dream." Intense Dream Light surged on Hermes' body, gradually manifesting that Dream Statue.

"Huh? Picked up a 'Wisdom Angel' Characteristic."

A gaze truly projected from that Dream Statue, falling upon the "Angel of Knowledge."
