Chapter 1575
Chapter 1575: Section 1576 Granting Authority Chapter 1575: Section 1576 Granting Authority Frode pondered, how should these creatures of sin be dealt with?
Initially, he planned to treat the creatures of sin just like Nightmare Predators, searching for solutions from the books written by Dream Sorcerers. However, the deeper he thought, the more painful his headache became, because even Dream Sorcerers seldom provoke Nightmare Predators. They mostly return to reality to avoid unnecessary troubles.
In his memory, he truly couldn't find an effective means to deal with Nightmare Predators.
Eventually, Frode shook his head. Even if the methods of Dream Sorcerers could handle Nightmare Predators, they wouldn't be applicable in the Wilderness of Dreams; it was better to think about solving the crisis from the perspective of being in the Wilderness of Dreams.
Frode thought for a long time without a clue. Suddenly, in his trance, his gaze met with 'Shalu' inside the glass chamber. A sudden idea struck him, “Right, sir, how did you know about the Authority of the Mist of Sin? Why can you control the creatures of sin?”
A thought flashed through Frode's mind, perhaps Angel had obtained an authority related to the Mist of Sin. If he could control the creatures of sin, maybe he found a way to counter them!
Angel: “Because this time I acquired an authority from the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain, called the Ability Tree …”
Ability Tree? What kind of authority is this, and what does it have to do with controlling creatures of sin? Just as Frode was about to ask, suddenly there came a sound from Angel's side–
“Hold on, I've discovered something.”
Immediately, Frode shut his mouth and waited for Angel to explain. However, all he got in the end was, “I'll tell you more when I get back.”
After the conversation ended, before Frode could say anything, he was no longer facing Angel, but the reverter hideous-looking Shalu.
Meanwhile, Angel did indeed have a new discovery. Through the Ability Tree, he could use the Authority of the Mist of Sin, albeit limitedly. On this basis, Angel discovered some interesting methods, like how he spoke with Frode remotely. He could control the creatures of sin to communicate over long distances.
During his conversation with Frode, Angel was also continuously exploring other tricks of the Mist of Sin. He indeed dug up two very useful ones.
For example, Angel could “expel” and “suppress” the creatures of sin within Shalu. The so-called expulsion naturally means driving the creatures of sin out of Shalu's body, allowing him to regain his senses. Although this technique works well, Angel cares more about “suppression” rather than expulsion.
Angel could suppress the creatures of sin within Shalu, preventing them from emerging and causing trouble for a short time, while Shalu could somewhat recover his senses. This “suppression” may seem insignificant, but it allows Shalu to retain the high combat power granted by the creatures of sin while keeping his mental clarity.
It's akin to gaining high combat power out of thin air.
Frode's greatest concern just now was hoping for a way to deal with the creatures of sin. And this, isn't it a method?
–By using suppression, tapping into the power of the creatures of sin within the body to address other rampaging creatures of sin.
This is undoubtedly a method. Moreover, it could be used to form a special task force that not only deals with the creatures of sin but also protects the safety of Originheart City.
Of course, although this is a good method, it also comes with risks.
Angel's suppression of the creatures of sin doesn't guarantee that all is well. This form of suppression is more like a special “sealing”. Sealing the creatures of sin within the human body, a person can leverage their power in battle.
However, to obtain more power, one must inevitably relax this seal to let the creatures of sin provide stronger capabilities. But as the seal loosens, there will eventually come a time when it exceeds the limits of suppression, and the creatures of sin would break the seal, turning on their host.
Thus, these individuals fused with the creatures of sin are akin to walking with an unexploded bomb at all times, never knowing which battle might ignite it.
The risk is extremely high.
Nevertheless, taking on such high risks also brings them power far beyond ordinary people. This is a form of balance, sacrificing peace for the sake of protecting the peace and safety of loved ones and friends, dancing on the edge of the knife.
Regardless, this is indeed one of the better methods Angel thought of for ordinary residents of the Dream Realm to deal with the creatures of sin.
Such circumstances at least relieved Angel from constantly focusing on the Wilderness of Dreams, allowing him to delegate the task of handling the hidden dangers brought by the Mist of Sin to others.
As to whether to implement it, and how to implement it, he could discuss it further with Frode later.
Aside from discovering this “suppression” technique, Angel noticed another peculiar thing, which couldn't simply be called a technique but should be referred to as a function.
A function of equal value to controlling Mist of Sin creatures.
This was also why Angel eagerly ended his conversation with Frode and immediately calmed his mind to research further.
Angel had noticed this while he was still talking to Frode; when he focused his gaze carefully on Frode, strange information seemed to emanate from him.
This information was like a fuzzy concept data, which Angel not only captured but also read.
From this information, Angel deciphered a figure: 69.
The meaning represented by 69, Angel had previously meticulously searched the Ability Tree and found that it indicated an ability compatibility.
That is, Frode's compatibility with the Mist of Sin ability reached 69%.
This suddenly reminded Angel of something; when he fused with the “Gatekeeper” ability, he noticed that the location of Originheart City resonated with the “Gatekeeper” ability.
Later, after verification, it was found that Monroe, the City Lord, matched with the “Gatekeeper” ability. If Angel had agreed then, it meant Monroe also possessed a part of the “Gatekeeper” Authority.
Just like how in reality Angel comprehended the Gravity Meridian, when the opportunity is just right or the compatibility is high, there is a chance for comprehension.
Monroe, the City Lord, clearly was someone with high compatibility.
Upon recollecting this, Angel immediately thought if someone also reached an extremely high compatibility with the Mist of Sin ability, could it be possible to share a part of its authority with them?
With this doubt, Angel searched for the answer within the Ability Tree.
Indeed, he found relevant information –
The answer: yes.
Once he encountered someone with high compatibility with the Mist of Sin, Angel could initiate a heritage directly through the Ability Tree, meaning the so-called “Authority Granting Ceremony”.
At that time, when facing Mist of Sin creatures, those who comprehended the Mist of Sin ability could fully replace Angel's role in suppressing and driving away these creatures.
This way, the security of Originheart City would be enhanced further! It would also free up some of Angel's time.
This function of “granting authority” matched perfectly with Angel's desires.
The only drawback was how to find someone with high compatibility with the Mist of Sin?
The last time Angel fused with the “Gatekeeper” ability, only Monroe, the City Lord, comprehended it, which was already very fortunate.
Despite Originheart City being prosperous now, with only about ten thousand people under its control, could they really find someone suitable?
No matter what, “granting authority” is an exceedingly practical function of the Ability Tree.
Angel noticed another point, whether it was the suppression of Mist of Sin creatures or this function of “granting authority,” both essentially equated to a new power system that could grant the residents of the Dream Realm a considerable degree of power.
He just didn't know how Sanders' authority was doing, especially since the power Sanders is currently fusing with likely involved energy control as well.
While Angel thought this, in the darkness, the towering tree representing authority suddenly swayed its branches as if caressed by the wind.
