I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

After calming himself down for a moment, Lloyd reopened the familiar panel and took stock of his gains.

First of all, the biggest gain was undoubtedly the interruption of the revival of an ancient god and the successful recovery of the extremely powerful "heirloom" of the self-discipline array.

This thing is really extraordinarily useful, and is similar to the nanofactories in science fiction works.

Lloyd only needs to think about it and make a request to the tentacle grass in the [Thinking Field].

The tentacle grass will make a "whimpering" sound to spur its employees on.

Then he saw a group of micro robots flying up and polishing a new wrench right in front of Lloyd.

The one in the kitchen is broken, so I'm using this one to replace it.

With this powerful tool, it will be much easier to do anything in the future.

For example, the production capacity problem that had been bothering Lloyd's new version of the mobile phone was immediately solved.

All we need to do is come up with a detailed design drawing, let the autonomous array process those core precision components, and then hand them over to outside workshops for assembly and sales. Soon, the world will be able to live a good life where everyone has a mobile phone.

For example, the transforming armor that Lloyd had always coveted was also limited by production capacity and raw material issues. He couldn't be given a new one, so he could only borrow it from others, and it was almost broken this time.

After returning, ask the engineering department for the blueprints, and then take out the most important [Tears of the Stars], and Lloyd will have his own transforming armor.

For example, the giant robot outside was indeed difficult to complete with the technology at that time.

But with the help of autonomous arrays and today's new material technology, it might actually be able to move!

In addition to the power of the autonomous array itself, the entire set of operational mechanical soldier production lines in the core area is also an equally important achievement.

Drag it back intact and restart it, and the Abyss Purification Operation will no longer have to worry about manpower and cannon fodder.

In short, Lloyd not only solved the possible hidden danger of the ancient god's revival, but also obtained a real artifact. The price was just a [Almighty's Spinning Stick]. It can be regarded as Ying Zheng touching the wire - he won.

But the gains from this trip go far beyond that.

This time he took the risk of changing back to his original form. The risk was indeed great, and it inevitably shook Lloyd's self-awareness as a human being. Even now that he had calmed down, he couldn't help but recall the extremely powerful feeling of comfort he had at the time.

It can be said that if there were no Everole, no Weiya and Xildina, Lloyd would probably not have changed back just based on his sense of responsibility and mission...

Of course, in terms of the benefits relative to the risks, in addition to allowing Lloyd to crush the conspiracy of the ancient god's revival almost effortlessly, it also brought him one step closer to the next [Transcendence].

In just 1000 seconds, the forbidden knowledge and skill fragments that Lloyd absorbed easily surpassed his previous half a year of hard work.

You can imagine how powerful this entity is.

If Lloyd had moved a little slower, he might have completed the [Ascension] right on the spot.

But if that happens, whether it can be changed back is another matter.

In short, after returning, just learn some more forbidden knowledge and you will be able to perform the eighth [Transcendence].

Now that I have found my 'true self', I don't need any rituals to complete [Transcendence]. I can just add some points directly.

So what is really important is not the sense of ritual, but whether we can achieve [transcendence] in human form and self-cognition.

Lloyd summarized it in his mind and added the attribute points he had accumulated.

1000 points of [rationality], 1000 points of [spiritual power], 1000 points of [inspiration], 1000 points of [cognition], give me some!

[Ding~Add points to complete]

[User: Royd]

【state:? ? ? 】

[Insanity value: 9/50000, upper limit: 11500000]

【Rationality: 11500】

[Spiritual power: 11500]

【Inspiration: 11500】

[Cognition: 11500]

[System: Distort LV7, reject LV7, falsehood]

This wave of madness points, plus some of the miscellaneous accumulations he had made recently, just accumulated enough to reach 4000 points, which allowed him to continue to maintain his balanced lake-level attribute distribution.

But in comparison, the gain in madness value was actually not that much, because after changing back to his original form, Lloyd could clearly feel that his resistance to mental pollution had become much stronger, and he absorbed a lot of forbidden knowledge, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

Otherwise, you should be able to gain more attribute points.

Fortunately, the skill fragments that came with the forbidden knowledge made up for this regret and gave him several important skill points that could be allocated flexibly.

[Ding~ Skill points have been allocated, Distorted Realm LV11→LV12]

[Ding~ Skill points have been allocated, Space Domination LV11→LV12]

[Ding~ Skill points have been allocated, Ritual Mastery (Distortion) LV11→LV12]

[Ding~ Skill points have been allocated, Microscopic Analysis LV9→LV10]

Since the last time he 'found himself', Lloyd had a clearer self-awareness, which enabled the panel, or in other words, enabled the 'skill point' mode.

But this time I only got 5 skill points in total, which is half less than the points last time.

But Lloyd was very content. After all, he took the risk of [Deep Mind Dive] last time, sneaked into the [Forbidden Library] where the [Brilliant Gold] was buried, and found himself, and finally got so many skill points.

This time is much safer and easier. Even acquiring knowledge is not the main purpose. I can also earn 5 points by the way. I can only say that it is really different after turning back into the original body.

If humans in normal conditions are like a flickering candle in the night, attracting forbidden knowledge like moths to the flame...

After turning back into her original form, her attraction to forbidden knowledge is just like that of the new wife in the card pool of a pay-to-win mobile game who likes to talk about "flying moths into a flame".

All in all, these 5 skill points are an unexpected surprise.

However, when Lloyd distributed the energy, he did not put it all into [Micro Analysis] like he did last time. Instead, he divided it evenly among several of his important and difficult-to-improve core skills.

It was with this wave of skill level improvements that he had accumulated enough foundation for the next [Transcendence]. If he went back and worked harder, he would be able to directly obtain a 'Transcendence count' to complete the [Transcendence].

Lloyd looked at the skill panel carefully again and found that in addition to skill points, there were unexpected gains?

[Ding~ Sufficient skill fragments have been obtained to unlock the skill - Engineering, LV3]

[Ding~ You have learned the special skill - Moment of Ascension]

【已掌握技能：专注学习；强化探查；占卜LV10；眩晕抵抗LV10；超凡剑术LV5；扭曲之境LV12；攻击性言语LV10；恩赐扭曲LV10；仪轨掌控（扭曲）LV12；空间支配LV12；意识触须LV3；微观解析LV10；工程学LV3】

[Special skills mastered: Thus Said the Supreme Being; Incomplete Miracle; Supreme Realm - Distortion; Moment of Ascension]

There's nothing much to say about this special skill, and it's not much of a surprise. It's actually just "changing back to the original form."

The name sounds quite mysterious, but it is also quite appropriate.

During the time when he transformed back into his original form, Lloyd finally found a relatively clear path to becoming a god.

It turns out that one needs to master the supreme realms of three different realms at the same time, and become the supreme being in these three realms, the 'immortal', the 'ruler', and the 'master', in order to reach the final 'ascension to godhood'.

Although I know such a way, I can't do it in human form!

Even the most outstanding and talented group of [Brilliant Gold] at that time only dabbled in the realm of [Immortality].

In principle, humans cannot touch the two areas of "domination" and "mastery".

Even Lloyd himself can only say that he still has hope.

Perhaps you can try to get involved in these two areas by [dominating space] and [dominant illusion].

As for [Immortality], it is relatively simpler. Our cheap uncle has paved the way for us, so we just have to follow the path.

But the problem still lies in the issue of 'human beings'.

The core issue of this path to "ascending to the gods" has magically returned to the most critical question that Uncle Cheap encountered when he first proposed this idea long ago after going through such a long journey.

Can you really reach the final destination as a human being?

In the past, Lloyd could still confidently say that he would never give up human self-cognition and so on.

But after truly feeling the power of "not being human", he began to doubt this to some extent...

It can be regarded as a deepening of our understanding of the wisdom of our predecessors, right?

In short, let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, my current [Control of Space] is still a long way from [Domination of Space].

The understanding and mastery of [illusion] is far from the level of [mastery].

Lloyd said this in his heart, and suddenly a thought popped up in his mind:

And...I don't have any children yet...

At this moment, Lloyd found himself actually longing for an heir?

This will definitely be an important link and channel for him to maintain human cognition.

All I can say is that in the past, the seniors all advised him to get married early and have children, but he thought that others were being old-fashioned.

Now it is proven that the experience of the older generation is really correct...

It seems that I have to work harder on Wei Ya after I go back. Now she is the only one who can do this.

Maybe ask this guy Toledo?

I wonder if those pretty girls in the engineering department he mentioned like to wear shoes?

Forget it, forget about this now.

Lloyd shook his head vigorously and looked at the last real gain, [Engineering]

[Engineering (LV3) - Advanced engineering skills. You can master some basic engineering techniques such as engineering design, mechanical maintenance, and line laying. You will be more sensitive to mechanical structures and find it easier to understand mechanical design. Continue learning to improve your skill level.]

There is also a line of small print below as additional explanation:

"Steam and gears are the true romance of men. Those sissies won't understand."

In conclusion, this skill is not a very impressive [Domination] type skill, and is even inferior to [Ritual Control].

That is to say, Lloyd was promoted from a barely entry-level apprentice to a level similar to that of an ordinary engineering student.

Of course, it's Mitzikatok's engineering department. If you go outside, it shouldn't be a problem to become an engineer.

Forget about wanting to be a lecturer or professor in Mitsukhotnik. It's totally impossible.

Lloyd had no plans to develop in this direction, but he said that after acquiring this skill, when he wanted to create transformable armor or repair giant robots in the future, he could participate appropriately with a certain foundation.

Don’t be like the product managers on the other side of the world who can’t even understand the meaning of ‘if’ and ‘then’.

........................

After taking stock of the gains from this trip, Lloyd opened a portal and returned to the giant robot to reunite with his teammates who were still waiting for him.

It turns out that everyone has already jumped down from the high scaffolding and is busy picking up the scattered parts on the ground?

After seeing Lloyd coming back, Toledo raised the gear in his hand to him with a look of joy and pride, and said:

"You're back? Look at these parts. They have all been disassembled intact. This is amazing! It seems that the weapon in the palm of the giant robot should be the secret weapon recorded by the engineering department before. It can disassemble engineering creations back to their component forms."

Seeing his friend picking up scraps, Lloyd didn't know how to tell him the good news.

I have already dealt with the autonomous array and can start reclaiming the entire engineering school district, and you are still picking up junk here...

He was also at a loss for words, and quickly motioned for everyone to come over, then opened the portal and returned to the "sled battleship" first.

Then, Lloyd offered to cook for everyone himself and prepare a celebratory banquet.

But Toledo couldn't resist his curiosity, so he grabbed him and asked him to explain what had happened first.

Lloyd didn't have the chance to show off his cooking skills, so he could only take out some dry food to distribute to the medical team members, and then tell them what happened before.

Everyone else present remained quiet and listened to him patiently.

The more I listened, the more surprised and shocked I was.

After Lloyd finished speaking, Toledo was stunned for several minutes before he asked:

"So... you have recovered the autonomous array? Without our help?"

"Yes, the key to recovering this thing is not the level of engineering, but other aspects, such as space and distortion."

"This, this, this... let it out so I can see it!"

Toledo urged again impatiently.

But Lloyd spread his hands, indicating that he did not take those "little bugs" with him, but ordered them to stay where they were and continue the production of mechanical soldiers.

"Don't worry. Once we have hauled the entire school district back, there will be more things for you to study than you can finish."

Lloyd said, patting his shoulder with a smirk on his face.

I see these lazy people in your engineering department. How are they going to slack off in the future?
