章 46: Heaven
Despite the failure of his MI9 team's operation, Alexander's life went on as usual for the next few days.
Finally, the Monday had arrived.
For the past few days, Alexander had been very free.
The MI9 headquarters had yet to inform him about their decision, making him believe that the death of Kayne wasn't an isolated case, but that something important had happened.
At the same time, now that he had been promoted to a Baron of Corruption, Alexander was met with a problem that all Beyonders would eventually meet.
He didn't know how to acquire the following potion formula.
Finding the Baron of Corruption formula was already so hard, and the only reason he managed to find it was because he had the knowledge of the original book.
As for the following formulas, he didn't have any clue at all.
Looking at the clock on the wall and seeing that the time was almost 15:00, Alexander created an incarnation, before the grey mist appeared and his incarnation was engulfed in it.
"Good afternoon Mr. Fool.", Audrey's voice rang in Alexander's ears as soon as he arrived in the Origin Castle.
After the initial greetings, Audrey expressed the pages of Roselle's diary that she had managed to collect this week.
"July 9th. I suddenly thought of an interesting question...
...
"July 14th. I saw that mysterious Mr. Zaratul again. I never expected him to be the leader of an ancient organization, the Secret Order!"
"After learning that I had become a Savant, Mr. Zaratul mentioned that I had chosen a difficult, yet relatively safe path...
...
"Taking this opportunity, I asked Mr. Zaratul the reason that *** would approach me."
"In response, his eyes became brigher while he smiled slightly, before saying that I should be happy about it."
"He cryptically added that every era has a protagonist and that *** always chooses to stand behind them."
"Although I'm indeed the protagonist, why are your eyes filled with love when you look at me?
Klein read the diary a couple times, while analyzing the information contained in it.
'We can safely assume that the erased name should belong to the same person.'
'What did Zaratul mean by saying that every era has a protagonist?', Klein was kind of puzzled.
Collecting himself, Klein put down the diary, signaling the start of the Tarot Club.
"Does anyone have any information about where I can possibly find the Psychology Alchemists?", Audrey asked and looked around, waiting for answers.
"I don't recommend you to join the Psychology Alchemists before you are strong enough.", Alexander answered before anyone could speak.
"You are still in low Sequence and have yet to understand the essence of the Spectator pathway."
"As the name of the organization implies, Beyonders of this pathway are masters of psychology, meaning that you won't be able to lie in front of them."
"Moreover, as long as the Beyonder is strong enough, they can manipulate people around them, without those people realizing it."
"If you meet countless coincidences that don't make sense, as if you were a character in a book, chances are that you are being affected by high Sequence Beyonders of this pathway.", Alexander took the opportunity to remind the members of the gathering about how strong and weird the Visionary pathway was.
Audrey heard his words and nodded her head.
Although she wanted to get the following potion formulas, she didn't particularly enjoy getting brainwashed.
"Thank you for your answer, Mr. Emperor.", she replied, despite her disappoinment.
"I have one more question."
"How long does it usually take to digest a potion?"
"I've noticed that the constant murmurings in my ears have already disappeared.", Audrey asked, working as the tool person of the Tarot Club.
"Normally, it would take about 3 years for someone to advance without the acting method."
"As for the acting method, I've just come in contact with it, but I can already see that it should shorten that time by a lot.", Alger replied and turned to look at Mr. Emperor, wondering if he said anything incorrect.
Alexander didn't know how much pressure his existence had put to Alger.
In the original book, he was the most knowledgeable and powerful member for the first hundreds of chapters.
With Alexander's existence however, those titles had been taken away.
"For low Sequence Beyonders, it would take a month to half a year if they use the acting method."
"When you completely digest the potion, you'll instictively know it.", Klein spoke up, while tapping on his armrest.
"So just a month.", Audrey murmured to herself, but everyone in the castle could hear her.
"Thank you Mr. Fool.", she added, understanding her gaffe.
Her gaffe was understandable, as 3 years was way too long for a young lady like Audrey who was just 18.
On the other hand, a month was more acceptable.
Noticing that Audrey had no further questions, Alger took the initiative to talk about the news he received regarding the Aurora Order.
In response, Audrey asked for more information, which Alger kindly provided.
"I am more inclined to call him, the Fallen Creator", Klein interrupted while chuckling.
At the same time, he looked at Mr. Emperor, waiting to see his reaction.
Unfortunately, Mr. Emperor still remained calm.
Inwardly, Alexander was complaining about how overpowered the Origin Castle was.
'As expected of the Beacon of Destiny, he can make up any nonsense and it will make sense somehow.'
Unaware of the mood of the two 'powerful' Beyonders of their gathering, Audrey asked for detailed information regarding the extraordinary organizations and Alger didn't hesitate to share some basic information in exchange for 1000 pounds.
He started by mentioning the official churches, before continuing with the rest of the organizations.
Finally, he talked about something that interested Alexander.
"The last organization is the Nemesis Order."
"You likely already know their name, as they also have activities in the secular world."
"They may be the most famous among the extraordinary organizations, but they are also the most mysterious."
"They accept Beyonders of every pathway and regardless of background, but no one knows what the true core of the organization is, nor what pathway they hold."
"The orthodox churches often choose to cooperate with them, but they have a very bad relationship with the church of God of Steam and Machinery."
"It is rumoured that they believe in a mysterious existence, but the name of that existence is unknown.", Alger explained.
Seeing that Alger and Audrey had completed their transaction and feeling a slight headache, Klein decided to put an end to their party.
As Alexander returned to his body, he started wondering about the future.
In fact, one of the reasons why he talked about the Spectator pathway was because he wanted to see what changes it would bring if Klein knew of his current situation.
It could be considered a little experiment to confirm some of his guesses.
He already knew that he had transmigrated during the Second Epoch at the latest, but the plot of the original book had roughly remained the same.
This was simply impossible however, considering the existence of butterfly effect.
'Is there a will of Heaven in this world?', Alexander thought as he looked at the sky out of his window.
