Chapter 13 The Liar Eater and the Prisoner of Destiny
Extraordinary people, as the name suggests, are people with extraordinary abilities.
Where do their extraordinary abilities come from?
The answer is simple.
In this world view mixed with steam machinery, swords and magic settings, nature is given by the gods.
Therefore, extraordinary people can also be called divine beings.
Generally speaking, if you want to become a transcendent, you first need to choose a faith and join the church corresponding to the god. Then you can go to the cathedral to take the qualification test.
This test can distinguish ordinary people from people with extraordinary talents. Those who pass the test will become candidates.
Once the opportunity is right, the church will gather the candidates and arrange the divine ordination ceremony.
During the ceremony, people with sufficiently pious beliefs will have a much greater chance of passing.
And when you pass the divine ceremony, you will receive a trial from the gods - generally speaking, the difficulty of the trial is related to your rank.
The lower the rank, the simpler the trials that need to be completed.
For example, if you want to become a first-level transcendent, you will often get a simple test such as pleasing the gods, and you only need to sacrifice some treasures.
As the level increases, the difficulty of the trial will increase exponentially.
For example, the well-known strong man in the empire, the "Dragon Slayer" Beo from the Holy Dragon Family, his trial to advance to the fifth level of legend was to slay a living giant dragon!
Once you complete all trials, you can proactively communicate with the gods and pray for promotion to the next level.
The benefits brought by level promotion are undoubtedly huge.
Not only can you obtain new extraordinary abilities, but you can also ignite more divine factors to exert your abilities to a stronger effect.
But generally speaking, the types of abilities awakened by extraordinary beings are often linked to the authority of gods.
For example, the predecessor was once a believer in the Tenri Church.
The god this church believes in is the Lord of billions of stars, so most of the abilities awakened by extraordinary beings are related to air currents, gravity, weather, and even magnetic fields.
Once you choose one belief, you can no longer relate to another belief.
So the abilities of extraordinary people in this world often have limitations or are relatively single.
Few people can master the extraordinary abilities of several faiths at the same time.
In other words, there has almost never been a similar precedent.
From now on, Lynn will set the precedent.
Although his divine factors have been deprived and his faith has also dissipated, with the existence of the system, everything has been solved.
He only needs to improve the plot deviation of the original character, and he can continuously obtain system points to extract or strengthen extraordinary abilities.
According to the system, it can even ignite the divine factor with its own power!
The effect is amazing.
But then again.
It doesn’t seem to be easy to improve other people’s plot deviation.
For this 0.01% change, he was almost killed by the villain princess!
So at this moment, looking at the rapidly rotating relief disk in front of him, Lin En felt uneasy for the first time.
What exactly will be the first ability from the system?
For him, this is simply a matter of life and death, which directly determines whether he can survive this experiment.
Under Linn's gaze, the rotation speed of the relief disk finally slowed down, and then slowly stopped in front of him.
The pointer stopped in front of a strange mark.
The mark is very abstract and complex, like a crying clown or a puppet controlled by silk threads.
[Congratulations on extracting the first level ability - Liar Eater. 】
A liar?
Lynn took a breath.
Well, well, as expected of you, Groove System.
He originally thought that he might have a chance to extract abilities such as body strengthening, or a blurring effect that can blend into shadows like Morris.
In short, as long as I can escape from here, I can do anything.
But the system happened to give him something similar to the concept system.
Lin opened the skill introduction stiffly and started browsing.
[Name: Lie Eater]
[Rank: First Level] [Effect: The lies spoken from your mouth will become easier for others to believe; on the contrary, from You can easily spot the lies told by others. 】
[Activation conditions: None]
[Points required for level up: 10]
As expected, it is an ability that seems a bit useless.
It may occasionally work wonders in daily life and combat, but it seems difficult to solve Linn's current predicament.
It is estimated that the effect will gradually become stronger only after upgrading.
But now, it is just an ordinary ability corresponding to a first-order extraordinary person.
Besides, I don’t know which faith it belongs to.
Helplessly, Linn tried to activate this ability.
As a result, the next second, layers of ripples suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the scene of the underground laboratory in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Instead, there is another scene.
This, where is this? !
Lin suddenly felt like he could move freely, and stood up blankly.
However, his eyes stayed on the strange sight in front of him.
In front of me is endless emptiness, but it is not just endless emptiness.
In addition to nothingness and desolation, silk threads seemed to break through the limitations of time and space and travel through the void.
Like slender worms, dancing in strange postures.
These threads seem to have life and intelligence, and have a very unified goal, and they are constantly rushing towards that goal.
Countless threads gathered into a vast ocean, eventually converging somewhere high in the sky.
Lynn looked up.
I saw a skinny human-shaped shadow being entangled and pulled by those silk threads. The whole person was in a twisted cross shape, hanging high in the sky.
There were particularly many threads on his arms, his expression was painful, and his eyes were tightly closed.
But even so, those threads were still rushing past like rivers and oceans, torturing Him over and over again, seemingly taking pleasure in it.
"Destiny. Prisoner."
For some reason, Lin En read the name slowly.
The next second, layers of ripples hit him again, and a strong sense of illusion instantly called him back to reality.
"What are you in a daze for?"
Milanie waved her hand vigorously in front of his eyes.
“Oh, it’s okay.”
Lin Enzhuangruo replied unintentionally.
It’s strange that nothing happened!
In fact, there was already a storm in his heart, and he could not calm down for a long time.
What does that scene represent?
Lynn's brain was empty, and her mouth felt dry.
"If nothing happens, the experiment will begin."
Milanie blinked.
not good.
I almost forgot the most important thing right now.
The desire to survive made Lin En temporarily suppress the shock and confusion in his heart, and turned his attention to the young girl in front of him.
He took a deep breath.
Then, under the influence of the Liar Eater, he slowly said: "Ms. Milani, I want to tell you something."
