They all call me master.

Chapter 928 Ascending the Stairs Ⅳ

Hearing Old Charlie's answer, Arthur sighed helplessly -

"Having an excellent grandfather is really stressful!"

There is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Winters, Arthur's parents, died in the struggle between 'blood' and 'death' for old Charlie.

As Old Charlie grew stronger, he displayed many excellent qualities.

How could 'Blood' and 'Death' not want to completely control Old Charlie?

And everyone has weaknesses.

Old Charlie is no exception.

Old Charlie's weakness is his family.

So, 'blood' and 'death' struck upon the Winters.

result?

Arthur, who already knew the answer, looked at old Charlie who kept smiling, as if he had long forgotten the death of his son and daughter-in-law.

But the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of the right hand, which were resting on the cane, were tapping rhythmically.

This is 'psychic' code language.

In other words, this is one of the Kratos family's proprietary secret codes designed by Old Charlie.

In order to cope with different situations, Old Charlie designed five special encryption languages, and finger tapping is just one of them.

And the secret message now roughly means that he will continue to attract the attention of those two bastards, and then let Arthur kill those two bastards.

"Arthur, you are good enough."

Old Charlie said as he tapped out the secret code.

"of course."

Arthur raised his head and crossed his legs.

The toes were shaking.

Of course, this is also a secret code.

After that, the two of them talked on the surface, but they kept whispering in private -

Arthur: It's a little difficult.

Old Charlie: It all depends on human effort.

Arthur: As my dear grandfather, aren't you going to give me more help?
Old Charlie: The best way for me to help you is to go to the 'Eternal Resting Place'.

Arthur: Well, thank you for your help, but I think you can give me more. I am your only grandson!

Old Charlie: This kind of unswerving persistence is very much like me.

Arthur: Thank you, you want to say shameless?
Old Charlie: As a medium, you should be more tactful in your speech. It's good for both you and the client.

Arthur: Thank you again. Let's get practical. We'll talk about the psychic experience later.

Old Charlie: The ritual, the ritual arranged by Death, the ritual that He dreamed of becoming the original sin Fraud, still exists. That will be the key point.

Arthur's heart was shaken.

The original sin 'fraud' ritual that was arranged was not destroyed?

It is natural if it is not used. If 'death' is used, it will not be 'death'.

What really surprised Arthur was that a ceremony of this level was not disrupted.

According to common sense, the "blood" should have destroyed the ritual.

and many more!

'Death' chases after original sin.

Why not 'blood'?

Arthur instantly made many guesses in his mind.

The swaying toes did not stop——

Arthur: Where?
Old Charlie: I'm being watched closely by two bastards and watched by a bunch of disgusting guys. Do you think I have a chance to find it?
Arthur: Well, my dear grandfather, besides this, I think I still need help.

Old Charlie was almost rolling his eyes.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that although he had experienced reincarnation, this was his own grandson.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to look so much like him.

"How are Drake and Cassandra doing?"

Old Charlie did not speak in secret language anymore, but asked directly.

This is what an old father should look like.

This is also a reminder given to Arthur by old Charlie, his grandfather.

family!

Arthur can rely on his family!
"Okay, okay, I'm the only Muggle in the family!"

Old Charlie's reminder brought back unpleasant memories for Arthur.

The young psychic did not hide anything and kept complaining.

"What if you told me in advance?
I can’t possibly drag the Kratos family towards…”

“It is destroyed.”

Old Charlie interrupted Arthur.

As Arthur was confused, Old Charlie said very seriously -

“I’ve seen countless possibilities.

Only this kind of thing can keep you alive.

Only then can my family be reunited.

leftover……

It’s not beautiful.”

"For example?"

Arthur raised an eyebrow, curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"For example: you just woke up and completely abandoned your bottom line. You muttered "Sacrifice the Skull" and slaughtered the entire South Los in a terrifying hunting posture. Then, you met a masked strong man and were torn to pieces by him.

For example: Facing the threat from the sheriff, you directly drew a 9 and chose to go along with the crowd. You began to play with others and started a war again. The war swept across South County, North County, near sea, far sea and west coast. Finally, just when you were about to become a new god, you were nailed to death in the starry sky by a girl with a cat. Your blood became synonymous with filth, and your name became a curse.

For example: After discovering the benefits, you began to lick Melinda relentlessly. Finally, after squeezing Melinda dry, you went to lick the countess. After squeezing her dry again, you set your sights on the Grand Duke of Swallow Castle. You continued to lick like this, and ten years later, you stood at the pinnacle of the world, and the old lion was killed by the women you licked.

You are about to become the new emperor.

However, on the night before you became emperor, you were chopped into pieces by the women you licked, and each of them took a piece of you and returned to their hometown.

For example: You, who are used to using your brain and no longer appear in front of the stage, have been planning for twenty years, and finally you have frightened the whole world in the name of "Shadow". You have forced those strong men into desperate situations, but the old lion and the tigress in desperate situations have burst out with unimaginable power. They have torn off your disguise and killed you on the beach of South Los. Finally, Melinda took your body to Coconut Island, where she buried you at the sunrise and silently guarded your life until the end of your life.

For example...” “Okay, that’s enough, wait, stop!”

Arthur tried to stop Old Charlie with a series of words.

It’s not that I don’t believe it.

But it's too miserable.

Wasn't there ever a good ending for him, Arthur?
Why is it all so miserable?

But Arthur did not doubt its truth; he knew himself too well.

He could really do those things.

Of course, some things still need to be clarified.

"What about me who might be under these circumstances?"

"Gone.

When I pulled you back from the 'farthest place', they disappeared. They were your possibilities, and when you appeared here, these possibilities disappeared.

Or you can say...

You are the only one in fate and reincarnation.

Your possibilities become your nourishment."

"So, if I die, I'm really dead, right?"

Arthur focused on this key point.

Old Charlie nodded.

And, emphasized:

“This time, it’s like this.”

Arthur raised his left hand, placed it to his mouth, and pressed his raised fingers on the bridge of his nose. Then he raised his right hand and placed his index finger on the right side of his nose.

This scene shocked old Charlie.

"Fate, choice!

Should I go left or right?"

Arthur sighed.

Old Charlie tapped Arthur on the forehead.

“Whether you go left or right, time will tell you which is the best choice—don’t be confused by the present, and don’t be bound by the past.

You have to look forward.

Don’t look back. ”

As Old Charlie said this, the car door opened silently.

It was clear that this conversation was coming to an end.

Moreover, it ended much faster than Arthur had imagined.

When Arthur wanted to say something, Old Charlie grabbed him by the collar and threw him outside the car door. Then he kicked him in the buttocks.

"Go away!"

Arthur threw himself forward.

The next moment, he once again stood on the fourth step under the starry sky.

The three seemingly invisible silk threads all broke at this moment.

With just one more step, Arthur would be able to step onto the fifth level and become a god in the eyes of all living beings.

Moreover, he is not a false demigod who relies on the power of faith.

A true demigod.

But Arthur stopped.

The unprecedentedly active [spirituality] kept reminding Arthur that if he took this step, he would lose something extremely important.

The sudden feeling is like a hungry stomach protesting at midnight, wanting to eat barbecue hotpot crayfish.

It was so hot and fierce.

Arthur was a man who listened to advice.

He lowered his raised leg.

He stood still, took a deep breath, and looked at the flashing words in front of him——

[Ritual 'Seventeenth Stage' Completed! ]

[Physique +10]

[Spirituality +10]

[Level 17: A new road opened up by Aiolia. This 'Golden Lion Cat' burned his all and built an unprecedented road with an indomitable faith. In order to make it smoother for those who come after him to embark on this road, 'Mimi' also burned himself and opened up all levels I-IV. This allows those who come after him to gain powerful strength faster, and the road ahead will be smoother. In addition, he has the adaptability, recovery, endurance and amplification that other people who have taken the precepts, indulgences and oath rituals do not have.]

[Effects: 1. Ordination. Fake; 2. Feast. Carnival; 3. Super healing. Extreme; 4. Adaptation. Extreme; 5. Gold thread. Real; 6. Big body. Huge; 7. Thick flesh. Armor; 8. Ladder. IV]

[Receiving precepts. False: You can be picky about food, but if you start eating, you don’t have to finish it. But next time you face your favorite food, you can only eat half of it. You have at least two hours of sleepiness every day, and you can stay awake for a long time. When you accumulate it together, when it reaches 240 hours, you need to take a 24-hour long sleep. During the accumulated sleep, you will not feel sleepy, and it will not affect any strength. At the same time, you can also take a 24-hour sleep in advance to accumulate it and make yourself more comfortable. Moreover, under normal circumstances, when you encounter sleep or mental secrets, you will be alert instantly. When you are asleep, when someone with malicious intent approaches, you will quickly wake up.]

[Feast. Carnival: After reaching the top, you, who possess the Phantom Whale's stomach, will once again undergo a qualitative upgrade. Not only will the food you eat be completely digested and converted into muscle and fat in the body, allowing your physique to grow slowly, but you will also be able to store enough food by eating it as a backup. When you need more power, you can burn the food in your stomach for a rapid increase. At the same time, your food range has long gone beyond the defined protein, carbon water, fiber, etc. Even if it is a stone, you can now taste the saltiness. Of course, if it is an arcane item, you will get greater satisfaction. Current food: 900/30000]

[Super Healing. Extreme: When facing injuries or negative states, you have excellent recovery ability, but you can still speed up recovery through sleep and food. Even if it is a fatal injury, for you now, it means eating a few more bites or taking a nap; Current sleep: 0/240; Current food: 900/30000]

[Adaptability. Extreme: When facing unfamiliar and extremely harsh environments, you can adapt more quickly. When facing special requirements for props, you can greatly reduce the demand. When you are in flames, frost, poison, lightning, mental field, and illusion field, you can use the food accumulated in the illusion stomach to strengthen your resistance; Current food: 900/30000]

[Golden Thread. True: After reaching the level, the golden thread is truly golden thread. As time goes by, the harmony value you can achieve will steadily increase, making your 'spirituality' more secure, and your 'physique' will also increase at a rate more than twice the harmony value over the years.]

[Big Body. Huge: After reaching the next level, your body will become bigger and bigger, and your 'spirituality', 'physique' and characteristic upper limit will undergo a qualitative change.]

[Thick Flesh. Armor: A special defense formed entirely by a strong 'physique' and the 'food energy' accumulated daily. It is a hybrid defense method between simple 'physique' and 'force field'. Any attack method targeting the 'physique' or 'force field' alone will be considered invalid and then swallowed by you to become a new 'food energy'. Only when a mixed attack is made can it really touch you; the current 'food energy' (999)]

[Stage.IV: When you step onto the fourth step, you will have a 40% overall enhancement. At the same time, your phantom will have substantial attack power. When the phantom is broken, you need time, gold, sunlight or moonlight to repair it, but you will not be harmed, but your enhancement will disappear.]

(Note 1: If you do not complete the 'False Ordination', your 'spirituality' will not be disordered. Only when you fail to complete the 'False Ordination' for more than 9 times in a row, your 'spirituality' will be disordered for a short time. When you fail to complete the 'False Ordination' for 27 times in a row, the 'Golden Silk. True', 'Big Body. Giant', and 'Thick Flesh. Armor' states will be damaged, but they can be repaired by the food in the stomach. If you add the 'Food Qi', it will speed up the repair)

(Note 2: When facing the food you like, you will accumulate "food energy" as you eat. When facing food that is toxic or filled with malice, the "fake" can ignore it and can accumulate a large amount of "food energy")
(Note 3: With the blessing of "Feast. Carnival", the climber will break through the original size limit faster as his physique increases)
(Note 4: The seventeenth level can more perfectly integrate the other cat-style rituals in the other cat caves, and can also optimize and accommodate other styles of rituals to a limited extent. When facing the "spirituality" brought by the secret props, it has extremely perfect tolerance and can quickly distinguish the "evil spirit" that is residual, hidden, and concealed on the props)
(Note 5: When the climbers learn other schools, secret rituals, and mystic arts, the new 'Seventeenth Stage' not only has strong adaptability, but can also greatly reduce the requirements for mystic arts and rituals. And as time goes by, the adaptability becomes stronger and the requirements are reduced more.)

(Note 6: When the spirituality of the superimposed mystical props is beyond the limit of the body, the "Adaptive State. Extreme" will make the recipient unaffected for a short period of time)

(Note 7: 'Feast. Grand Carnival', 'Super Healing. Extreme', and 'Adaptive State. Extreme' will slowly increase over time, and the existence of 'Big Body. Giant' will further increase the upper limits of many ritual characteristics, bloodline characteristics, and talent characteristics)
(Note 8: Your phantom is affected by swordsmanship, rituals, etc., and is divided into two layers, the outer layer is a snake and a bird, and the inner layer is a cat; the snake and the bird can merge into a bird-snake, and the cat can bring you 9 times of immunity to fatal damage. When the 9 times are used up, the cat will fall into a deep sleep, and you will need a long time and a huge amount of food to restore it - this is similar to the rumored cat cave secret 'Nine Lives', but it is different. This is a unique feature of the seventeenth level)
……

The words gushed out like a fountain and appeared in front of Arthur.

Arthur's mouth curled up.

He couldn't be happier.

because--

This is not the end!
