Chapter 1094: Just a Thought to Save the World
Lady "Magician" forcibly changed the subject:
"If the apocalypse really arrives in 1368 as prophesied, I don't need to rush to advance. In a few more years, Mr. 'Fool' should be able to fully wake up, and then unlock the seal of the Western Continent, allowing more people above the Sequence to be born. That way, when the apocalypse arrives, even if we are still at a disadvantage, we won't be without the power to protect ourselves."
"Without the 'Indefinite Mist' coordinating in the middle, those 'Outer Deities' cannot cooperate well. They must guard against becoming prey to other 'Outer Deities' after being injured themselves."
"Unfortunately, there is not that much time left. I can only upgrade to Sequence 1 as soon as possible. As an Angel of the 'Door' pathway, the chance of surviving during the apocalypse will be much greater than other pathways. After all, those 'Outer Deities' should not have set their targets on the 'Sefirah.' Do they think they aren't self-destructing fast enough?"
Her thoughts were similar to Lu Mi's, believing that the "Sefirah" and the three subordinate pathways were likely not the targets of the "Old Ones." Even if she became a Sequence 1 "Star Key," she would not be targeted.
Lu Mi heard the insincerity in Lady "Magician's" words.
No matter what, if it were purely for self-preservation and protecting the few closest people, Sequence 2 "Traveler" would definitely be better than Sequence 1 "Star Key," and she would not be noticed, allowing her to sneak away during the chaos.
Choosing to digest the potion as soon as possible and advance to Sequence 1 is to do more things when the apocalypse arrives? "Chariot" Lu Mi could vaguely grasp that mentality and thought.
At this time, Mr. "Fool," shrouded in gray mist, said to "Magician" Fors:
"'Star Key' will also become a target."
"Before I fully wake up, if the apocalypse arrives, no 'Outer Deity' will want to see the 'Lord of the Mysteries' truly born. They will seal the Sefirah, take away the corresponding Uniqueness and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, and extinguish the possibility of the Lord of the Spirit Realm returning."
"Although they cannot accommodate the 'Sefirah' again, it is no problem to occupy one or two more Uniquenesses and corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. Their power will also increase a little, and their abilities will be more diverse."
"And, not being able to accommodate the 'Sefirah' does not mean there is no way to use the 'Sefirah' that is suitable for themselves."
Lady "Magician" was silent.
She did not say she would consider it again, nor did she state on the spot that her goal was to become an Angel before the apocalypse arrived.
Lu Mi was thinking about another thing:
Even if there is only a year or two left before the apocalypse, with the efforts of the Major Arcana cards and Mr. "Fool's" current awakening speed, even if He is not fully awake by then, it should not be much different. As long as He does not actively stop the "Outer Deities" from invading, those "Outer Deities" will likely not have nothing better to do than provoke Him.
But, He is clearly preparing to resist the apocalypse...
"Chariot" Lu Mi glanced at Mr. "Fool" at the head of the bronze long table and did not ask any more questions.
Trier, inside the luxury villa.
Lu Mi, lying on the recliner, opened his eyes.
He reached out and touched his blood-red long hair, preparing to cut it short, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
Lu Mi stood up and paced back and forth in the room, his mind full of the knowledge he had obtained above the gray mist.
He had already understood that his goal of becoming a Sequence 0 True God and trying to accommodate the "City of Calamity" was not only needed to resurrect Aurora but also a requirement to transcend the Sequence and deal with the apocalypse.
"It's only a year or two. I need to finish digesting the 'Weather Warlock' potion, become a Sequence 1 Angel, then finish digesting the corresponding Sequence 1 potion, then find a way to defeat the 'Red Angel' Medici, hold the godhood ritual, and finally suppress the consciousness of the 'City of Calamity' and accommodate it. In the middle, I might also have to decide the winner with the 'Primordial Demoness'..."
"Is this time too tight?"
"If I'm unlucky, I won't even be able to complete the first step of digesting the 'Weather Warlock' potion..."
Lu Mi felt his scalp tingle just imagining the things he had to complete later, thinking that there was almost no hope of success.
Not to mention whether those steps could be successful, there was no time!
Digesting potions at the demigod level itself requires a long time. Lu Mi was able to quickly digest the "Despair" potion and "Ageless" potion before, first by relying on the one worshipped by the "Aurora Society" actively exposing himself, turning all previous arrangements into "Despair," and second by relying on the special nature of Aurora being a transmigrator from the Old Days, and Aurora's soul fragments could still maintain a certain activity, being sealed in his body, which was arranged by the one worshipped by the "Aurora Society."
Now, Lu Mi could not see any opportunity for him to quickly digest the "Weather Warlock" potion, and that one did not seem to have made any arrangements in this regard.
As an Angel of the "Hunter" pathway, Lu Mi already possessed an iron will and courage like fire. He quickly restrained his subconscious retreat and fear, first thinking about the first step, which was digesting the "Weather Warlock" potion:
"According to my previous experience, to digest potions quickly, there are mainly two ideas: one is to adjust the state of body, mind, and spirit to be incomparably close to the true meaning of the potion name through special encounters, and the other is to use higher-level Beyonders as acting objects to obtain better digestion speed."
"The former idea is no longer possible... The only ones higher than me are Angels, True Gods, and Great Ones, and 'Weather Warlock' is not an acting object based on people... Ask them to be the audience, watch me change the weather, and give feedback?"
"Go a step further, change the weather of a True God's divine kingdom? At the next gathering, obtain Mr. 'Fool's' consent, add special effects to the discussions of the Major Arcana cards, and change the weather of the 'Sefirah'?"
"I don't know if this will have any effect... Seek Mr. 'Fool's' revelation at the next prayer..."
Lu Mi, whose preliminary ideas were gradually taking shape, suddenly laughed at himself.
There is a way for him to digest the "Weather Warlock" potion in the shortest time:
That is to let the "Blood Emperor" Alista Tudor resurrect within him. Afterward, he would not need to digest any other potions.
The only problem is that he would die, and Aurora would not be able to be resurrected.
"I don't know what arrangements Alista Tudor has, is there any way to use this arrangement to quickly digest the 'Weather Warlock' potion?" Lu Mi thought for a while, but had no ideas.
He turned to think about Lady "Magician's" suggestion:
"Strengthen humanity, resist divinity, distinguish between normal emotions, desires, behaviors, and abnormal emotions, desires, behaviors..."
"Anchors bring the cognition of others. Everyone's cognition of me is somewhat different from the real me. This is also a kind of pollution, which easily makes my thinking, spirit, and humanity chaotic, but it can be used to balance and resist divinity, allowing the true self and humanity to have a chance to breathe..."
"If it is a normal emotional reaction that one's own humanity will also bring, even if it overlaps with divinity, there is no need to suppress it too much, and it can be expressed normally?"
"Does this count as a kind of fusion?"
"Mr. 'Fool' said in the dream city that it is both resisting and fusing... At the Angel stage, fusion is shallow and not obvious, mainly resisting and suppressing?"
Lu Mi examined himself and sorted out different emotions and desires.
After a while, he roughly knew what he could do, to what extent, and what must be suppressed to death, and must be controlled as soon as there was a sign.
Of course, he had just advanced and had not yet adapted to the potion, and his state was not stable enough. If he did many things he could do now, it would be easy to lose control during the process, be driven by divinity, and have terrifying developments. Therefore, he had to digest the potion preliminarily first.
Thinking of this, Lu Mi immediately used the "Hunter" pathway's "Mental Communication" to Franca, Jenna, Ludwig, who were also in the villa, and Anthony, who had not yet walked out of the 10-kilometer range:
"After I became a 'Weather Warlock,' Alista Tudor's arrangements might begin to appear. You must be more vigilant and careful, especially in matters involving the Demoness Sect."
"Mental Communication" does not transmit the things thought in the heart or the thoughts that flash by to companions. One must have the idea of "speaking out" to let the corresponding information echo in everyone's mind—if Lu Mi shared the "Manipulator's" Beyonder ability and attached it to "Mental Communication," he could achieve a weakened version of the "Hall of Truth" effect.
After speaking, Lu Mi took out a mirror and divined which region had extreme weather.
After getting the answer, he was about to "teleport" there.
Before activating the black mark on his right shoulder, he suddenly had a new idea:
Some things to maintain and strengthen humanity could be done now!
A gust of wind blew, blowing open the bedroom window.
Then, while sensing the Spirit Realm coordinates of the target area, Lu Mi picked up the coat rack in the room and threw it violently into the sky.
The coat rack quickly ignited with blue-purple flames and rushed toward the horizon.
Lu Mi jumped lightly, jumped out of the window, and landed accurately on the burning coat rack.
Then, he spread his feet slightly, put his hands behind his back, and amidst the rustling of his coat, stepped on the flaming coat rack that was getting faster and faster, already faster than the speed of sound, and still accelerating, flying toward the target area.
In the second-floor studio, Franca, who had temporarily returned to her senses from creation due to Lu Mi's reminder, heard a boom from high in the sky.
Wearing the "Mysterious Face," she came to the window in one step and looked at the blue sky, just in time to see Lu Mi stepping on a flaming "giant sword," with his hands behind his back, flying away from her field of vision at high speed, leaving only a new sonic boom.
Franca showed an envious expression.
At the same time, she also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Pope's office on the first floor, Jenna was originally having a headache about the negative effects of Franca's fully automatic treatment machine—this would make every treated person full of desire for reproduction while recovering, wanting to have a child.
Her solution was for ordinary diseases to be treated by Bishops and Priests, and for serious illnesses to pray to the great "God of Disease." Afterward, for those with families and partners, the Disease Church would be responsible for the economic losses caused by having children. For those without partners, consider introducing partners. If the introduction was not successful, then find Anthony to handle it—if you think you have a child, then you have one!
After hearing the sonic boom, she also came to the window, looked out, and saw Lu Mi traveling in a strange and arrogant way.
A smile gradually appeared on Jenna's face.
She felt that Lu Mi's state was a little better.
