I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"However, they are willing to pay such a high price because you are good enough to help them win this important bet... So, have you decided whose invitation you want to accept?"

The butler continued to ask.

"It should be Your Excellency Olga, right? Madam Inisa... you always feel like something is wrong?"

Lloyd answered truthfully.

"Yeah, it's the same as I guessed."

The butler nodded and added:

"Olga's family is very old, well-off, and has a profound foundation. It is very influential in the City of Illusion. It is a very smart choice to establish a relationship with him. As for Inisha... there is nothing wrong. He’s just a little too cheerful and enthusiastic.”

"Is that so? I'm just a little worried about...Ms. Olga...doesn't he really like men?"

"How is that possible? His two grandsons are as old as you and they just got married this year. Don't believe Inisha's nonsense."

The housekeeper said dumbfounded, stood up again, took Lloyd into the last high-end black steam car downstairs, and then drove him towards the city.

"After that, I will leave for a while. You should be more careful. If possible, protect the young lady for me."

The housekeeper suddenly said something again.

Lloyd just thought that it would take him some time to complete the final ritual and digest the gains from [Transcendence]. Without thinking too much, he nodded without hesitation and added another eighth-level thigh to his side. Being able to hold her makes me secretly happy.

"Then will you advance to the ninth level in the future?"

Lloyd asked casually again.

The housekeeper was silent for two seconds before he answered:

"Maybe I'll give it a try if I have the chance?"

"Speaking of which... there is already a saint in the [Embodiment] system, right? Then if you think about [Transcendence] again..."

"I will try different routes like [story] or [projection], just like [redemption] and [law]."

After hearing this, Lloyd was slightly startled, and then asked quickly:

"Huh? You mean... [Redemption] and [Law] were once a system? And then they branched off into two paths?"

"Yes, [Redemption] is the first extraordinary system controlled by human beings in the end of the world. [Law] is the second one, extending from [Redemption]. [Embodiment] is similar, coming from [Intellect]" ] extends, like a branch that keeps forking."

"What about [Veto] and [Asylum]?"

"They are different. For a long time in the past, the [veto] system was actually a taboo system without the protection of a saint. It was not until a saint appeared in this system that it was accepted by the world... and the [protection] system ], I don’t know much about it, I only know that the saint is very young and is still a bit immature in all aspects.”

"Is that really the case?"

Lloyd now understood why the butler had many records of fighting against extraordinary people of the [Rejection] system in his notes.

If you look at it this way, how old should the housekeeper be? Isn’t it older than the Brilliant City?

The lifespan of an extraordinary person is really incredible...

After Lloyd sighed in his heart, he asked the question he wanted to ask the most:

"Then according to what you say, if systems like [Pain] and [Curse] can emerge saints, can they also become legal systems like [Veto]?"

What he actually cares about is not these two systems. What he really wants to ask about is his own [distortion], but he can only adopt this indirect approach.

But the housekeeper only gave a vague answer:

"Theoretically, such a possibility does exist, but it involves many interests and contradictions, which makes it difficult to explain... In short, [transcendence to sainthood] is not that easy, and it may not necessarily depend on one's own wishes...

Moreover, becoming a saint is not necessarily a good thing. Although it symbolizes supreme power and status, it also has to bear endless responsibilities and suffering... Not everyone is willing to face this, and I don't know myself. Whether it is possible to have such will and consciousness. "

"Looking at it this way, the Saint is really great..."

"Of course, they are all great people who have made great contributions to mankind and endured heavy pain... So even now, I don't dare to show any disrespect to them. Under their gaze, When you go down, you will feel your humbleness and insignificance.”

The butler said seriously, his tone full of pious respect.

I think... the saint is quite gentle, at least mine is...

Lloyd cursed in his heart and continued to ask:

"What about above the saints? Are there any more powerful beings?"

After hearing this, the housekeeper couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then turned to look at him, as if wondering why he would ask this?

But Lloyd looked innocent and curious, and didn't seem to mean anything else.

The butler then replied:

"Have."

"Eh?"

"But that is not necessarily a human being. No, it should be said that such an existence, even if it was once a human being, has broken away from the category of human beings, so it is generally called a 'great being', or it can also be called -

'The Most High'

Although many people do not believe in their existence and think that they are just theoretical speculations and hypotheses, I do not think so and believe that they really exist. "

Hearing terms like 'great being' and 'supreme being' from the butler's mouth made Lloyd feel somewhat unreal.

In his impression, the housekeeper should have a more pragmatic character, and he should sneer at such a controversial hypothesis.

In the end, he actually believed more than me?

Is that possible... to get him to join the gang?

Uh... let's forget it. She is really the eighth level. I'm afraid that my little tricks of disguise will be exposed at once?

After a while of random thoughts in his mind, Lloyd showed a surprised look on the surface and sighed in a low voice:

"Ah...is this really true? I thought the 'great beings' and 'supreme beings' described in the street novels were all made up."

"Of course those things are all made up. It's just that the authors heard a term from somewhere and wrote it into the book. You'd better read less of these books..."

The housekeeper said something dumbfounded, and then added:

"In fact, the current cognitive system of mankind is not enough to understand and touch such great existences, so many people think that they do not exist, and perhaps only by reaching the saints who can also be called 'great' , can we really come into contact with this level, right?”
