I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

A few days later, when Lloyd returned to Mizkatok, all the complicated and trivial matters in the outside world had basically been dealt with.

New mobile phones are being produced in an endless stream, pay-to-win mobile games are ready for official operation, newly acquired old school districts are being steadily cleared, and the design plan for the next new city is being put to public bidding.

Hiltina's illness has shown signs of improvement, and the expedition to redeem the saints is progressing in an orderly manner. Cell phones have also been sent to the remaining saints to help them relieve their mental burden.

My sister's [Transcendence] is about to enter the second stage, and even the kitten has become smarter and cuter.

Except that there is still no movement in Viya's belly, everything is on track.

So Lloyd, who had been busy for a long time, suddenly experienced a feeling of "the glitz and glamour faded away".

It’s like returning to the relaxed, fulfilling and comfortable time at the beginning, where all I have to do every day is learn, add a little, grow and become stronger.

5 points [Inspiration], add.

[Ding~Add points to complete]

[User: Royd]

【state:? ? ? 】

[Insanity value: 1/50000, upper limit: 15000000]

【Rationality: 15000】

[Spiritual power: 15000]

【Inspiration: 15000】

[Cognition: 15000]

[System: Distort LV7, reject LV7, falsehood]

[Number of possible transcendences: 1]

This happened after I sent new mobile phones to several other saints and taught them how to use the [Eliminate Mental Pollution] function, which in turn resulted in a large wave of attribute expansion.

After that, it would be natural for him to meet Hiltina casually and obtain this [Transcendence] opportunity.

In fact, he could have performed [Transcendence] earlier, but Lloyd still waited a little while. After stacking the four attributes as high as possible and balancing them, he returned to the academy and clicked [Transcendence] +1.

Of course, this time just use it on the [Veto] system, and [Distortion] will automatically upgrade.

The panel then sounded several prompts:

[Ding~ [Transcendence] has been completed, the distortion system level has been improved, LV7 → LV8, all attributes +2500]

[This system has been [transcendented] so far: 8 times]

[Continue to go deeper into the system to conduct more [detachment]]

[Ding~ [Transcendence] has been completed, the system level upgrade has been rejected, LV7 → LV8, all attributes +2500]

[This system has been [transcendented] so far: 8 times]

[Continue to go deeper into the system to conduct more [detachment]]

[Ding~ Strength level +1]

[Ding~ Life level +1]

[Ding~Cognitive level +1]

[Ding~ Allocable skill points +10]

Well, it is very convenient, but there is no sense of ritual, no 'purple air coming from the east', 'attracting strange phenomena from heaven and earth' or anything like that, and it lacks a sense of accomplishment.

Improvements in all attributes, skill points, and three major levels are all expected.

Lloyd pursed his lips, feeling a little regretful.

But there is no other way. If you don't use the panel to take shortcuts and follow the normal process to go through the eighth-level ritual of the [Veto] system, it will take about half a year to complete the entire ritual process.

If we add the preliminary preparations, ritual arrangement, material collection and preprocessing, the time will probably double.

The same is true for the other systems. The [Transcendence] ceremony itself will become extremely long.

For example, the butler Randolph is still busy with his ceremony.

On the contrary, someone like Lloyd was so fast that it looked like it was open...

No, no, I have come to where I am today entirely through my own efforts, and I took shortcuts based on my own abilities. How can you say that I opened the way?

Lloyd shook his head, opened the panel again, and prepared to allocate skill points.

As a result, when I looked at the panel, there was actually a slight change.

[User: Royd]

[Status: Human]

[Madness value: 1/50000, upper limit: ???]

【Rationality: 20000】

[Spiritual power: 20000]

【Inspiration: 20000】

[Cognition: 20000]

[System: Distort LV8, reject LV8, falsehood]

[Supreme Way: Immortality (30%), Domination (22%), Domination (37%)]

Huh? The state is no longer a mental state. Has the upper limit of mental pollution been reached?

This is not surprising. Ever since I found myself again, mental pollution has become pure nourishment to me. There is no such thing as the panel not working when I fall asleep or unconscious, so this upper limit doesn't matter.

What I am most concerned about and worried about now is my own cognitive problems. Changing the status bar to "human" is also a reasonable "self-optimization", right?

Lloyd rubbed his chin as he analyzed the changes on the panel, and then looked at the last item, "The Supreme Way".

In fact, he had a vague feeling about this after he transformed back into his original form once, but it had not been displayed on the panel yet. By updating himself today, he could see the progress in this regard more intuitively.

But surprisingly, the one who was at the forefront was [Overlord]? Even faster than [Immortal]?

Lloyd still remembered the crazy ravings, or rather the hymns that mentioned the way to godhood.

"Touch the truth, and you will become immortal..."

That sentence just corresponds to the "Book of Truth" that I hold.

"Embrace the madness, this is the one who dominates..."

This sentence corresponds to "The Book of Madness", which is its own panel and main body.

Then there is "Benefits are enjoyed without order, this is the one who dominates..." This sentence naturally corresponds to "The Book of Falsehood"

After gathering all of these, you will become the final "God-ascending person" who "faces chaos".

But judging from the order of getting started, as well as "intimacy" and "proficiency", it should be that the "Book of Madness" that embraces madness is closer to oneself and more important to oneself, right?

This is all my own body...

But why is the progress in [Domination] slower than the other two?

What I mean is that after all this trouble, the person I least understand is myself?

Is it because the skill level of [Space Control] is not high enough?

Lloyd had an idea, so he allocated 1 skill point from [Transcendence] to [Space Domination], raising its level to LV13.

But looking at the progress of [Domination] again, there is still no change...

This shows that the problem is not here, but somewhere else.

Lloyd thought about it carefully again, and although he couldn't figure out anything, he could vaguely feel that this might be related to life forms.

But human self-identity cannot be abandoned, and life forms cannot be changed...

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

Maybe when I become a saint, or go further on the other two paths, I will be able to find an opportunity to solve the problem?

Lloyd still forced himself to think in an optimistic way.

Then, he divided the remaining 9 skill points into two points for [Spatial Control], and three points for [Distorted Realm] and [Microscopic Analysis], the three core skills, and pushed the levels to LV15/LV15/LV13.

The last remaining skill point was added to [Consciousness Tentacles], which were upgraded from LV3 to LV4, making the 'Ahoge' thicker and more shapely, and able to transmit mental pollution faster, in line with the release of the new version of the mobile phone.

This skill was originally learned from the hexahedral offspring of the evil god. It is actually very difficult to upgrade it. There is really no good way to increase it without skill points.

"Okay, take a few days off to relax and digest what you've gained from Transcendence. You don't have to be so busy anymore."

Lloyd clapped his hands, stretched comfortably, and then ran to the kitchen to cook a large table of dishes to celebrate his completion of [Transcendence].

I had been planning to invite some friends to celebrate together, but when I picked up the professor's handbook, I was surprised to see that all the contacts in the address book were dark.

Metis seems to have returned home, Dr. Mao Mao seems to be still busy in the ancient armory, and Professor Lawrence has gone out fishing and has not returned yet...

The only person who could be contacted was Dean Hazlade, who was busy dealing with matters of the old school district.

There was no other way. Lloyd could only enjoy the dishes he had prepared with the kitten.

Although it is a bit lonely, maybe this will be the norm in the future?

Lloyd couldn't help but recall that when he was in District 18, it was always bustling, then when he came to Mizzikatok, the number of people around him quickly dwindled, and finally today, he couldn't even find anyone to eat with...

As my strength grows and my status rises, the number of people around me decreases...

Lloyd became inexplicably sentimental and took out a bottle of fruit wine with a certain alcohol content from his pocket.

"Well, let's drink. A little drunkenness can make all your worries go away."

But there is a good thing. Lloyd no longer has to wash the dishes himself.

All you need to do is take out a small box that contains hundreds of micro robots and make a request to the tentacle grass, and the pots, pans, wrenches, pipe pliers, etc. will be automatically cleaned and the damaged parts of the kitchen utensils will be repaired at the same time.

Although I wasn’t able to drive the giant robot, I did get to experience the fully automatic kitchen in advance.

Lloyd then happily collapsed on the sofa, took out the professor's manual, opened the long-missed message board, and surfed the Internet.

He also added functions similar to the message board and address book to the new version of the phone. Except for the inability to make calls, the other functions of this phone are basically the same as those of mobile phones on Earth.

Not surprisingly, the biggest topic on the message board right now is naturally the completely open illusory trial.

"Seeking a team, a high-rated and powerful team, come to the [Veto], [Law] system rank 5 or above, C+ rating or above priority, equipment with high defense and vitality priority, serious players only, no noobs please!"

"Fuck, if I have this level, why would I team up with you? Are you recruiting teammates or recruiting your father? Why don't you go find the professor to team up with?"

"Everyone, I seem to have fallen in love with the beautiful girl in the nightmare scene who changes color even when she's not wearing shoes. She's really beautiful. I'd rather be chopped to death by her than be her enemy."

"Yes, she is really beautiful. She was still beautiful even when she drew her sword and stabbed me..."

"How do you use a sniper rifle? There are so few of them, and it's so difficult to use them. Is it impossible to use them? Has anyone tried to use a sniper rifle to play this level of Fortress Blood War?"

"I seconded! I can't use this equipment either, but I heard that this gun is more suitable for use in the Endless Front scene."

"It's like this. You all underestimate this gun. I got my first C+ rating with a sniper rifle. But this gun is really hard to use. It's best to find a good teammate and someone to cover you so that you can unleash its true power."

Because the pay-to-win mobile games have not yet been fully launched and the points ranking has not yet started, there has not been much discussion about this on the message board.

I believe that in a few days, everyone will pay attention to this.

Lloyd smiled and looked at other topics on the message board.

As luck would have it, I found a discussion about myself:

"Everyone, do you know anything about Lecturer Lloyd... No, Professor Lloyd? I've heard about his deeds and his titles, and they seem a bit exaggerated, don't they? Is there any suspicion of over-exaggeration?"

Unsurprisingly, all the replies below were cursing this person.

"Huh? Are you a new student? How dare you question Professor Lloyd? I think you want to start an academic dispute?"

"Bah! Disgusting! You call it exaggeration if it's beyond your imagination? Idiots really can't accept things that are beyond their own scope of cognition."

"In Mitzkatok, you can question the dean, but don't question Professor Lloyd. Haven't you ever experienced his [Trial of Illusion]? It's impossible for us to lie to you about something so real, right?"

"Your mother is dead! She died because of my bragging!"

Oh... please don't say bad words, really...

Lloyd didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and continued reading.

As a result, at this moment, the manual shook and received a message.

It was sent by Metis?

"Have you returned to the academy? I brought some cakes and desserts from home. Do you want to share some?"

Lloyd happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so he opened a portal and landed precisely in front of Metis.

Metis was already used to this kind of thing and was not frightened. Instead, she quickly smoothed her hair and skirt, took off her shoes, and walked into the portal barefoot.

As soon as I saw Lloyd, I heard him say with a very regretful tone:

"You're late. I made a lot of delicious food today, but you were not here at the time."

call……

Metis secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the food box in her hand and handed it to Lloyd.

Inside were the strange-tasting cookies she had carefully prepared.

Although they look like cute cartoon animals, their flavors include sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

She herself couldn't eat it anyway, but she didn't know if Lloyd would like it?

Lloyd picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Not bad, huh? Delicious!"

"Hehe, as long as you like it, then...a few more pieces?"

"No, no, save it for tomorrow."

Lloyd said this, and then looked at Metis's feet, which were specially painted with red nail polish and had a crystal anklet on her ankle. He then picked up a biscuit and put it into his mouth.

Then he asked a question that I had been curious about for a long time:

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask you, what's going on between you and Wei Ya..."
