I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Humans on earth evolved from apes erectus. This is scientifically based and has many traces of evolution. There are also many archaeological discoveries as evidence.

But to say that humans in this world evolved from white tentacle monsters is outrageous and unbelievable, and there is no trace or basis for it.

So Lloyd himself didn't really believe this hypothesis.

Although I am a time traveler, I have lived in this world for so many years and have already assumed the role. Now it is really difficult to accept that I want to admit that I was transformed into a monster!

Might as well admit that the next door neighbor is human!

Oh no, Dr. Maomao seems to be a human being. He is quite nice, but his image is a bit strange...

There is also his own big brother, his own cheap uncle, his own little girlfriend, and even himself...

So everyone is emphasizing that as long as you maintain your self-awareness as a human being, you can become a human being?

So how did the identity of 'I think I am a human being' come to be?

Could it be that someone has discovered that humans actually evolved from tentacle monsters, so they emphasize this identity?

Or is this a 'tradition' that has been passed down since the time when humans were still tentacle monsters?

Lloyd was thinking wildly and thought that he could find someone to discuss this issue later. For example, he could tell the former dean, 'You are actually a tentacle monster' and see what he would say?

There was really too little information at the moment, and Lloyd could only put this direction aside for the time being, and then recalled the final scene of the giant he had witnessed.

He sat on the throne reached by the mountains, allowing the monsters that came one after another to submerge him, without resisting or escaping...

Including him who was in the bloody ocean before, he also allowed those monsters to eat his own flesh and blood...

Lloyd didn't know what considerations his 'good brother' had in making this choice that was close to self-sacrifice.

If He is not willing, those weak monsters that can be strangled by Him will never be able to touch the giant in the slightest.

However, I, or rather the "Book of Madness", only recorded the process and ending, but failed to reveal the reasons behind it.

After this record of "Walking with Giants", the "Book of Madness" was discovered and studied again by the world. At the same time, a strange plague actually began to spread, which would cause people to fall into madness and transform into monsters.

According to the description of the 'unremarkable' former dean, this strange plague should be spiritual pollution.

It seems that it started to spread with the unearthing of "The Book of Madness"? But the Book of Madness is not the only source?

What exactly is going on?

What Lloyd saw and heard at that time were just fragments of words, and there was not much effective information. He had to wait until he could go back and ask the former dean himself.

The following historical scene suddenly jumped to the twilight era, a point in time before 0-006 was developed.

Through the conversations between the mages and scholars in the scene at that time, Lloyd was convinced that 0-006 was originally designed to have the same function as the "Book of Madness", able to transform mental pollution into extraordinary power.

Judging from the results, this attempt should have failed...

Even today, 0-006 himself does not know whether he has this function.

It also completely failed to realize its design expectations. It was buried for a long time before it was rediscovered and put into use. It can be said to be a failed attempt.

Although Lloyd only saw this failure, it can be imagined that people in the Twilight Era must have made countless attempts without [Bright Gold]...

So why did [Brilliant Gold] disappear inexplicably?

Is it because of the 'great and crazy' plan behind it?

But both Uncle Cheap and the former dean were very evasive about this matter and didn't mention it at all.

And the seriously injured soldier he saw last time, what did he do to the "Book of Madness"? How did he get the "Book of Madness" later?

Lloyd doesn't even have a clue about these issues at the moment.

This made him feel that although he had lifted one layer of the mysterious veil of past history, there was still a big quilt wrapped under the veil...

I wonder if there will be another opportunity to explore past history like this in the future?

If so, what risks need to be taken?

Forget it, let’s quickly take stock of the gains from this [Transcendence], and then go talk to the former dean.

Lloyd said in his heart, opened the panel again and looked at his current skills:

【已掌握技能：专注学习；强化探查；占卜LV10；眩晕抵抗LV10；超凡剑术LV5；扭曲之境LV12；攻击性言语LV10；恩赐扭曲LV12；仪轨掌控（扭曲）LV10；空间支配LV5；意识触须LV3；微观解析LV3】

[Special skills mastered: So says the Supreme; Incomplete Miracle; Supreme Realm - Distortion]

[Book read: "The Great Book·Volume 0", current reading progress is %]

Good guy, all skills have been upgraded, including space control and micro analysis, two skills that have no improvement channels.

At the same time, there is also an additional special skill that seems to be very powerful, [Supreme Domain - Distortion]

In terms of reading progress, it jumped directly from yesterday's 'Volume 1' to 'Volume 2'.

Overall, the improvement in this area is more impressive and valuable than the 2200 attribute points.

Although the improvement of ordinary skills does not bring any functional changes, nor is there any new gameplay, it just simply improves the effect and power, which seems to be only a quantitative change.

But if combined with the two upgrades in power level and the skyrocketing 2200 attribute points, the gap between this effect and power has changed from quantitative to qualitative.

This is no longer the difference between '0-life Royd' and '6-life Royd', but the difference between '0-life Royd' and 'No. Royd'.

In more detail...

From the perspective of overall combat effectiveness, like the wave of monsters he encountered before, Lloyd could only fight and retreat, using Professor Toledo's advanced weapons to kill the enemy.

Now, he could stand where he was and kill the wave of monsters alone, and he would lose if he even moved his feet.

In other words, if he meets that lunatic consultant again, Lloyd can [distort] him so much that even the dean can't recognize him.

Judging from the intuitive physical damage effect, even the weakest attack power [Declaration of Veto] can directly smash something of the Karmic Demon level into pulp.

This is the geometric expansion brought about by the joint improvement of attributes, power levels, and skill levels.

If you look at it from the microscopic level that Lloyd pays great attention to, you can now use the power of [distortion] to turn a cup into a fork and turn a fork into a dinner plate.

Although it is still in a relatively simple stage and cannot undergo more complex transformations, it is much stronger than the previous powerless state.
