Mystery: Beginning with the Pope of Night

Under Truman's arrangement, things progressed smoothly enough. Raimondo made enough contributions as an auxiliary priest and will personally become the "Destined One" under the auspices of Father Costel.

"You will become the Sequence Nine 'Dancer'..." Father Costel arranged the altar and put Raimundo in it.

"Recite after me..."

"The power of fate!"

The language that can communicate the mysterious power gives a certain power a clear direction and converges into the altar.

Raimundo only felt the power of an infinitely great being, and the terrifying whispers from the infinite distance sounded in his ears.

He could only close his eyes and pray quietly, "You are the past, the present, and the future..."

After the chanting of the honorary name was completed, the altar seemed to be activated, and there was some obvious movement, as if a monster was emerging from it.

Some kind of power condensed from the black thorn badge enshrined in the church, and an illusory liquid appeared out of thin air, wrapping Raimondo inside.

Raimundo's whole body was being swallowed by evil liquids, which penetrated from all parts of his body, as if they were going to tear him apart completely.

His mind suddenly blurred, as if he was about to be overwhelmed by the endless pain in his body and die completely.

But at a certain moment, Father Costel's prayer voice rang in his ears, "The power of destiny..."

"The power of 'fate'?" Raimundo's remaining wisdom captured the keyword.

He thought of his father and himself.

Both father and son are "law enforcers". This is destined. His father was not smart enough to become a "master", but he did it. With his own ability, he gradually became a master-level "sheriff" and won a An opportunity to become a destined one.

This is about the knowledge of "fate".

This kind of understanding is not even deep enough, but now Raimundo just wants to become Sequence Nine.

Raimondo regained consciousness instantly during the promotion, and was lucky enough to maintain himself.

Buzz!

The black thorn symbol flashed a glimmer of light, and some kind of knowledge poured directly into Raimundo's mind.

The "gift" is completely completed, no magic potion is needed, only a simple ritual is required.

"'Dancer', 'mendicant monk', 'contracted person', 'ascetic monk', 'life hunter'..."

Truman on the side was watching the changes in Raimondo's body while also quietly reading the confidential documents of the Church of Destiny.

These are the sequences recorded in the Church of Predestination.

These records and the knowledge gained from the out-of-control desire cultist gave Truman a full understanding of the "gift" system established by the outer gods.

"There are no records of semi-gods. Is it because the level of the church here is not enough, or is it because the so-called divine gifts in the 'gift' system are a big pit?"

"Both guesses are very likely, especially the latter..."

The demigod level is a qualitative change in the potion system, which may be similar to the "gift" system.

"However... if there is no magic potion, divinity may come directly from the 'ring of destiny'."

"Maybe I can also get a 'gift', a 'dream path'?"

"Weakening the Book of Dreams..."

…

Kono returned home after a day of law enforcement operations. He was really tired in the past few days. The old captain was promoted and the new captain had not yet been appointed. Many things had to be handled by themselves.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. Most of his troubles come from the desire cultists he saw a few days ago.

That battle was perfect. Father Costel eliminated the Desire Cultists who had abandoned their destiny. This was probably also a manifestation of "fate".

But he had other thoughts during that battle.

Why...do we have to obey "fate"?

He can choose to become a "chef" and study gourmet food, or he can become a "writer" to write his own stories...

"Have I fallen?!" Kono looked at himself, feeling both sad and relieved.

The thing that had been imprisoning him in his body seemed to be broken. He broke free from fate and had the right to choose in the torrent of destiny.

"Huh?!" Kono suddenly raised his head and looked at a statue that suddenly appeared on the table.

The statue is about the size of a lamp, as if carved from white jade, and is extremely delicate.

"The spirit of truth, the pure man, the master of dreams, the supreme being beyond all eternity..."

The first time he saw the white jade statue, Kono had a lot of mystical knowledge in his mind.

About how to pray, how to ask for the "gift" of divine power...

"This is it!" Kono was shocked by all the beauty in the dream, his eyes were shocked, and he almost fell to his knees in front of the statue.

"Is it because of your presence?"

Because of the existence of this god statue, he can break free from his "fate" and take complete control of himself?

"Do you want to be free?" The statue seemed to be speaking.

"Freedom?" Kono's pupils narrowed.

“True freedom means being able to do whatever you want, not being determined by ‘fate’.”

It was as if there was a power that penetrated into Kono's heart and awakened his nature that had been suppressed by "fate".

It's not necessarily bad, just what he wants.

Kono's body froze there, and it took him a while to recover. He slowly knelt down towards the statue and began to pray.

"The Spirit of Truth..."

Buzz! The dreamy phosphorescence, as gentle as water, fell from the dreamy idol, wrapped around Konod's body, and gradually left traces on him.

The dreamy phosphorescence completely covered the traces left by "fate" on his body.

The breath of source material itself is the strongest kind of pollution, covering a person who has not been completely marked with "fate" will not be discovered by that person.

"Sequence nine, the prayer prays because of faith, and the prayer is fulfilled..."

Dream Path Sequence Nine, Prayer!

"Visiting shrines every day and praying day and night, it will probably take me about ten days to become a true 'prayer'..."

Kono confirmed the occult knowledge in his mind and made a judgment, which made him feel happy and seemed to get some kind of satisfaction.

“So what kind of person do I want to pray to be?”

"Prayer", this is a sequence nine that contains many changes, the root of which is spirituality.

Becoming a prayer will achieve high spirituality comparable to that of a "secret prayer", but you will not see things you shouldn't see because of your high spirituality.

The most important thing is that according to the petitioner's own inner understanding and desire for dreams, the spiritual direction will be clearer.

For example, if you want to become a rich man, you will get a corresponding perception and a certain degree of luck when faced with a choice that can make you rich.

Who believes in dreams and doesn’t have a little desire in his heart?

In addition, they will also master fantasy sacrificial methods and ritual magic, and be good at making spells.
