Chapter 655 - 103. Sequence Reward
"[Please note that tag rewards consist of three parts: a single large attribute bonus, a single trait bonus, and a random item reward. These rewards are determined by the sequence levels you have collected.]"
"[You have unlocked the sequence reward: Cotton Candy (Blue)]"
"[Constitution +10, Soul Healing Power, Source Magic Book Fragment (II)]"
As those illusory words appeared, Fisher immediately felt a burst of colorful brilliance emerge in front of his eyes and rush into his body. His muscles seemed to be infused with tremendous vitality, which made them feel both sore and exhilarating. He instantly felt his body’s strength rise to a new level, moving further away from the physical strength range of humans.
He had already stepped into the tenth rank of the life hierarchy. Although he felt that the eleventh rank was not far off, it was evidently still some distance away from Erwin’s fourteenth rank.
But the reward wasn’t just a boost in constitution, there were other things too. Fisher’s gaze shifted slightly as he began to read the next two lines of illusory text,
"[Soul Healing Power: You have gained a more resilient soul recovery ability. The magic power and soul power you consume will replenish at a faster rate, and the degree of pain from soul damage will decrease.]"
"[Contributor’s Note: From the moment you began reading the Soul Completion Manual, your soul has already departed from the rank of order, moving towards inevitable chaos.]"
Fisher’s eyes sparkled as he looked at that line of text and fell silent for a second or two; soon after, a thin book suddenly filled his pocket, squeezing the sleeping Emhardt fairly. Following that, another line of illusory text emerged in front of Fisher’s eyes,
"[Source Magic Book Fragment: A forbidden technique that can leverage the world, it is a merciful compassion descended upon the ants by a Fake God that is not tolerated by the world. Although the Gods have already torn up the book that He personally taught, in anger, the forbidden knowledge buried within it has ignited like a spark of the stars, lighting up the dawn of victory in war.]"
"[This is the second part torn by the Gods, containing two ’Starlight Magics’ and some fundamental Magic Theory. A book personally descended by a God, and although it has been processed for understanding by humans due to His grace, please read it with caution.]"
Source Magic Book?
Fisher quickly associated it with the clues he had already received. The origin of all demi-human magic was humans, and obviously, humans didn’t come to understand magic on their own, but rather it was given by a deity. That deity was the Mother Goddess, who is still commemorated and worshiped to this day. But why would the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual refer to Her as a "Fake God" that is "not tolerated by the world"?
Currently, Fisher knew of only two True Gods, one was the God of Hundred Forms, Ramasitia; the other was the "Gate," Dalasgon. If the angry Gods mentioned in the Completion Manual included these two, then the Mother Goddess stood on the opposite side from them...
Was it because humans obtained magic bestowed by the Mother Goddess that they were able to stand firm until the end of the Mythical Species’ war?
But that made no sense at all. The Demon Species and Angel Species, as well as other Mythical Species whose names were completely lost to history, they all belonged to the Mythical Species. Even if human magic was incredibly powerful, without Double Ring Magic, they could at best only reach the door of the Mythical Rank but could never advance further. And Double Ring Magic, throughout history, only a few Magic Masters like Mr. Helsen had tinkered with it, and it certainly couldn’t be deployed on a large scale in war...
Yet humans still emerged victorious in the end. Could this imply that the Mother Goddess not only taught humans magic but also personally took part in the war?
The moment this idea surfaced, a chill ran down Fisher’s spine. No matter how he speculated about the Gods’ interest in him before, it was all reasonable because he was fully aware that the Gods would absolutely not make a personal appearance.
From Moli, Fisher had learned that the Gods all had their own duties to fulfill, and the world’s current operation was closely related to them.
Ramasitia created beings that walked on the land, swam in the oceans, soared in the skies, establishing the ranks of life and reproduction; Fisher wasn’t very familiar with Dalasgon’s duties yet, but based on the name "Gate," the clear distinction between the Spirit Realm and the real world must be closely related to Him.
And if the Mother Goddess personally participated in the war, then the nature of things would have changed... No wonder the other Gods were angry, calling Her a "Fake God."
Fisher did not take the Source Magic Book from his pocket; after all, it was not like the Completion Manual, which only he could see. He simply looked down at his pocket and saw a few ancient-looking thin pages newly added there. They were still twinkling with a strange purple light where they had originally been bound, which allowed him to confirm at a glance that this was no ordinary object.
This made Fisher even more suspicious about what kind of existence the author of the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual was, what kind of Transferee could be so unknown to the Creation Society, to the extent that they didn’t even know another unrecorded manual had drifted out into the world.
Evidently, the author of the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual was intimately familiar with the Creation Society, or else he would not have mischievously named this manual "Completion Manual" as well. Moreover, he was clearly aware of the fact that Fisher had read the Soul Completion Manual and what consequences reading them would bring.
