Chapter 143-The main point is to be down-to-earth

Back at the mental hospital, Ron first purchased a batch of ritual items needed for ascension.

After this period of accumulation, Ron's system coins have exceeded 200 and reached 234. And after this period of waiting, the system has successfully refreshed the third umbilical cord.

The price was one hundred, which made Ron speechless. The first umbilical cord was fifty system coins, the second one was eighty system coins. And now the third one has reached one hundred system coins. According to this calculation, the fourth umbilical cord should be at least one hundred and twenty.

Fortunately, he had saved some money during this period, so Ron did not hesitate to click to buy. After completing the purchase, Ron did not rush to close the system interface, but bought a batch of ritual items. Including but not limited to the wisdom of the gods, the cold blood of frenzy, the head of the tortured and many other props.

After a while of spending, by the time Ron was sure that he had almost saved enough materials, his assets had shrunk to 42 system coins.

Back in his room, Ron reached out and cut his wrist with the ceremonial dagger, then took out the Disaster Resonance Bell and shook it gently.

In the game, the effect of the Calamity Resonance Bell is to transform into a red spirit and invade other online players. Because it is not available on PC, Bloodborne has a large number of die-hard fans due to its unique aesthetic style, but its influence among the player community is not as great as that of Dark Souls III, Sekiro, and the culmination of the Souls series, Elden Ring.

In Dark Souls III, the effect of the Calamity Resonance Bell is to transform a person into a high-walled firebrand, bullying those ignorant newbies.

But games are games, and reality is reality. In reality, the effect of the Disaster Resonance Bell is to activate the hunter's negative consciousness and activate the beastly nature hidden in the soul.

Although this sounds strange, because hunters are fighting monsters whose beastly nature is out of control, but now they have to specifically activate the beastly nature in their souls. But in fact, quite a number of hunters use beast transformation as a means to enhance their combat power, which can be seen from the classic strengthening medicine "Monster Blood Pill" that is considered taboo by hunters in the Medical Church.

Because the outbreak of beast nature is not only because of the contamination of the superior's thoughts after the blood treatment, but also because the beast nature is hidden in the human body. And using monster blood pills and disaster resonance bells to activate the beast nature of the human soul is also a way to fight against the superior.

Through frenzied animality, one can deny all the realities brought about by the superior's thinking, thus avoiding the result of becoming inhuman due to loss of control.

On this basis, the Monster Blood Pill can stimulate stronger animal desires by attacking enemies and bathing their flesh and blood.

However, in many cases, Monster Blood Pills must be used with caution, because when used, along with the human strength enhanced by the animal nature, there is also a strong mental pleasure, which is the so-called addiction.

The Disaster Resonance Bell does not have this negative effect. However, because the activated animal nature can easily cause the hunter, whose will is not strong to begin with, to lose control and turn into a complete monster, the stock of the Disaster Resonance Bell is extremely small. The one in Ron's hand was obtained from the corpse of an old hunter by accident.

As the sound of the disaster resonance bell rang, an inexplicable impulse rose from Ron's heart. After suppressing this impulse, Ron manipulated it into his blood. As his heart beat, the blood mixed with the original animality in his soul was transported to his arm and flowed out along the scar on his wrist.

The sticky blood dripped straight down to the ground, as if it had its own consciousness, and quickly formed a ring-shaped base for the ritual.

For other spells, Ron usually asked Mingnu or the Wild Hunt Knights imprisoned in Ron Park to bleed, but he was still very serious about his own ascension ceremony. After completing the construction of the basic spell, Ron took out the Call of the Other Side, the Blood of the Daughter of the Universe, and Ron's old friend, the Psalm Bell.

The Call of the Other Side is a small amulet similar to a sea slug. It is one of the secret tools of the "Chorus" of the Medical Church's high-level leaders.

Once upon a time, the Church of Medicine used the elves as a medium to contact the dark side of higher dimensions.

They tried to communicate with the astral world far away, but unfortunately failed. However, according to Ron's determination during this period, the reason for their failure was not the call from the other side itself, but the lack of the necessary ritual.

The blood of the Daughter of the Universe. When Ron got his weapon back in the Bloodborne world, the blade was still covered with the blood of the Daughter of the Universe. Ron collected it carefully without wasting it.

Although the superiors are generally called superiors by hunters, it is undeniable that there are different levels among the superiors. And the Daughter of the Universe is not even a complete ancient god, but an unknown family that was accidentally attracted to Yharnam.

Although he was not very sure, Ron could more or less feel that he had some vague connection with the Girl of the Universe because he was killed by her.

Needless to say, the hymn bell was made in imitation of the bell that can travel through dimensions. Its power was reduced, but it has the power of healing.

Although these things seem unrelated, they actually all come from the Medical Church. With the future uncertain, Ron can only choose the safest and most systematic items for the ceremony.

but……

After taking a look at the foundation of the deification ritual, Ron fell silent again.

Three one-third umbilical cords were collected. Logically, the umbilical cord should be complete now, but in fact, there are four one-third umbilical cords.

Three thirds of the umbilical cord were complete in the literal sense, and were enough to complete the ascension ceremony in the game, from a mortal to a superior being. But... what about the fourth umbilical cord?
Although Ron had already decided to collect four thirds of the umbilical cords before performing the most reliable and complete ascension ceremony, he had already collected three cords and all the ritual items were complete. In the face of the temptation to immediately ascend to the god...

Ron didn't waver at all.

"It's still not safe enough."

Ron rubbed his chin and thought - if it was in the world view of Bloodborne, it would be fine if the three umbilical cords completed the ascension to godhood, the final result would be nothing more than turning into a giant squid, the so-called ancient god cub.

But now, having left the worldview of Bloodborne and entered a higher realm, able to come into contact with higher beings that the Bloodborne world could not bear, should he still choose the ascension of the three umbilical cords? Isn't this just gambling with his own future?
