Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 425 - 45: Permission Upgrade! Taking the Initiative
Victory and defeat are common in warfare, hero, please try again.
Dimension Space.
At this moment, Duncan couldn’t help but recall a line from a game he played as a child.
Obviously, World Three is an oppressive and sealed cage, where the existence outside wants to break it, and the existence inside wants to confine it. The concept of the Earthly Divine Kingdom binds everyone within the cage.
Civilization has developed to the point where technology has become a prison that confines all, controlled by a select few.
The seven Guardian Angels are essentially absolute dictators.
With a thought from Duncan, the black crystal fragment fell into his palm, existing on a plane higher than the Annihilation Plane. As Duncan attempted to analyze it, dense rune matrices immediately surfaced on the crystal’s surface, resembling a conceptual crystal chip.
——"Analyzing."
On the plane of Dimension Space, the massive feather-like nebula behind Duncan gently rotated, and his consciousness penetrated the crystal fragment before him. In an instant, he seemed to see a radiant creature with a prism-like crystal structure, not a humanoid outline but pieced together from radiant crystals, resembling the construct of Warcraft’s Naru.
"Is this the vessel of the God of Machinery?"
His guess was indeed correct; the God of Ten Thousand Machines is an advanced AI life form, and these crystal fragments maintain its presence as a human vessel.
——"Holy Relic of the God of Machinery (Divine Relic): Derived from the body fragments of the God of Ten Thousand Machines, it possesses immense power. As the vessel for the God of Machinery’s descent, it can significantly enhance its computational power and provide the ability for deification, among others."
——"AI Matrix Computational Power (Extraordinary Divine Power): Significantly enhances its computational power, can rely on computational power to strengthen the Law of Cause and Effect simulation, specify future directions of the simulation, and add preset causal variables."
(Can weakly enhance Dimension Space’s ability to capture other dimensional spaces.)
——"Mechanical Divine Format (Extraordinary Divine Power) (Divine Format Level 3): The God of Machinery once had power close to the God of Gods. With the great power of Divine Format Level 20, they predicted countless possibilities for the future and ultimately decided to interfere with the world’s process. However, they were betrayed by the seven Guardian Angels, unable to promote to the existence of God of Gods, and their fragments were sealed and built into the religious wonder of the Earthly Divine Kingdom."
(Can weakly enhance the computational ability of Dimension Space and simulate some divine techniques of True Gods, with an additional domain of ’mechanical’)
——"Dominion Construct (Magic-like Ability)."
Buzz.
With the final mechanical rune matrix lit up, the ’Holy Relic of the God of Machinery’ was also refined by Duncan. This process is essentially similar to refining a Magical Treasure, where the original consciousness imprint is erased.
Many divine artifacts have faction and user restrictions; refining them again is equivalent to removing these limitations.
With a slight tremor, Dimension Space gradually changed.
The originally void background revealed a rotating star cloud mark, then the projection screen merged with the holy relic fragment before it gradually transformed into a page resembling a ’star map’.
Light waves like radar constantly spread out, resembling antennae extending from Dimension Space.
"Has the detection range been enhanced?"
Duncan looked quite curious as he rotated the star map; it appeared to be a high-dimensional radar detector, using Divine Format and computational power to detect broader spatial planes.
There was a humanoid image mark on it.
——"Capturing Human Form: Current efficiency one hundred and twenty-five percent."
Ah?
This becomes very useful.
What Duncan needs most at the moment is a Human Form; without a Human Form, he can do nothing.
After the death of Human Form Three, he currently only has two Human Forms on hand: Human Form One is restricted by the law and inconvenient to roam the world, while the plane where Human Form Two resides has not yet been too invaded by Demon Gods, necessitating a cautious development.
Duncan cannot rely entirely on Human Form One; he has to find a way to train a few more major accounts.
The grudge from being besieged this time must be avenged one day.
"Seems like I have to find some less difficult real-world wild spots to develop!"
In high-difficulty worlds, Duncan is constrained in his actions, whereas in mid-low magic worlds, he can perform better.
——Discovered Japan.
When he switched the projection page back to World One, there was already a new mark on the log.
In addition to acquiring the Holy Relic of the God of Machinery, Duncan also obtained considerable technical knowledge from the Mechanical Divine Sect in World Three. However, he is now hesitant about whether to bring it out, as excessive interference in a civilization’s process may not necessarily be a good thing.
Especially forcibly raising a civilization’s upper limit, which may lead to distorted branches of civilization. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"Let’s hold off a bit and let the Enlightenment Era advance a little further."
With the emergence of the discovery mark of Malacca and Japan, signs of communication between Eastern and Western civilizations also began to appear.
At this moment!
The detection star map in Dimension Space changed, unexpectedly revealing two dimensional space marks simultaneously.
One in the East, one in the West.
"Eh?"
"So it’s not discovering Human Forms this time?"
Duncan’s consciousness landed on it, and soon these two spatial layer markers revealed a line of characters.
——"Small Thousand World (Eastern Civilization Branch) (Timeline Evolution): An independent small world evolved from an Eastern civilization, possessing specific Heavenly Dao laws, repelling other civilizations’ power systems. Loading partial capabilities from the body engraving can affect the Root Law of the world, directly judged by Heavenly Dao as invading Outer Heaven Demon, potentially triggering backlash from the Great Dao."
(Dragon Bloodline ineffective, Giant’s Power ineffective, bloodline engraving suppressed by Heavenly Dao Law. Forcibly engraving descent will change World Law, directly judged as Outer Heaven Demon.)
(Reality realm evolved from civilization branches with independent system Root Law.)
This is the Eastern dimensional plane?
As Duncan’s thought landed, a mark soon appeared: ’Attempting to capture the human vessel’.
Beside it was a ghostly shadow-like trace, marked as ’Consume 10 Legend Points to attempt to bypass the supervision of the Heavenly Dao Will and capture the human vessel at a faster rate.’
A new function appeared?
Wait a moment.
It requires consuming Legend Points?
Duncan held his chin and fell into contemplation. Actively consuming Legend Points to capture a human vessel is akin to an investment. If the human vessel suddenly perishes, then this investment would be in vain. He needs to at least break even by reclaiming ten Legend Points.
But the threshold to obtain Legend Points is quite high!
According to Duncan’s current summary, it seems that only near-Legendary Level strength or Epic Level events could possibly grant one or two Legend Points.
In World Three, it took a blood sacrifice of a human vessel and a major account login to obtain that many Legend Points in one go.
However, this detected Eastern World surprisingly rejects the ability to engrave bloodline power, so Heroic Spirit Summoning may not necessarily be effective. If he cannot summon and log in to the main account, obtaining Legend Points would be as difficult as when the number one human vessel was pioneering.
"Invest ten Legend Points to attempt pioneering a new world."
"It seems I could also wait slowly."
"Wait until one day I capture a human vessel, but the efficiency of natural capture is too low, it may take decades or even hundreds of years to capture one."
Duncan pondered for a moment and decided to wait and see the second marked world.
If abilities cannot be loaded, then it can only be pioneered.
——"Otherworld Country (Western Civilization Branch) (Timeline Evolution): An independent Otherworld Realm evolved from Western civilization, possessing specific Root Laws, and rejecting the power systems of Eastern-side civilizations. Loading engraved Eastern system spells may result in Gaia’s consciousness backlash, causing some abilities to potentially fail, being deemed as an invading Outer Realm Evil God."
(Eastern powers might fail, forced engraving will affect the Root Law, leading to world backlash.)
(Detected traces of the Greek Pantheon.)
(Detected traces of the Celtic Pantheon - the Danu deity clan.)
(Detected traces of the Norse Pantheon - Odin.)
[Warning! This reality plane is at the end of the Mythical Era, still an age of coexistence between humans and gods, with many offspring possessing Divine Spirit bloodlines actively present.]
[Entering this world might cause chain reactions.]
[Athena’s consciousness avatar might notice you!... Odin’s consciousness avatar might notice you!...]
[Anomalies triggered in forging, brewing, and blacksmithing domains!...]
[Law of Cause and Effect deduction in progress!...]
[This Otherworld Realm has detected traces of the God of Forging - Gwanu!... The target enters this Otherworld Realm with the Divine Spirit facade of ’Gwair’!... The Celtic Pantheon - the Danu deity clan established an independent Pantheon in this reality plane!...]
Damn!
This many old friends?
Is everyone gathering for a fair? All together in one place!
Duncan always knew the existence of Divine Spirits was quite special. Although the number one world had a very low ceiling, it was one of the Root Worlds, with many more reality branches outside it, as well as the Otherworld Realm, Demi-Plane, Divine Country Plane, etc.
Back then when he slew the God of Forging - Gwanu, it was to destroy his foundation in the number one world, directly banishing him to the Otherworld of the Danu deity clan.
But Divine Spirit belief sometimes is not contained within a single reality plane.
You cannot treat a Divine Spirit as an ordinary person, one of His facades is a personality. If the main body’s control is weak, it might cause a schism, with avatars splitting into individual Divine Spirits. The Cosmic Giant Snake set a negative example by messing up himself, splitting into many different Divine Spirits.
In general, it’s similar to Duncan’s number three human vessel awakening self-awareness, believing himself to be a separate existence rather than Duncan’s consciousness avatar.
Perhaps to prevent such situations, all human vessels in the Dimension Space are loading tools.
Those that are abandoned become collectibles like models.
There’s also a mark on this above.
Indicating a need to consume ten Legend Points to attempt capturing a human vessel in a specific reality plane.
"Do it!"
"Do both at once!"
Duncan had a decent amount of Legend Points, and after investing twenty Legend Points simultaneously, the human vessel marks above all lit up.
——"Capture human vessel (Law avoidance): Current efficiency eleven hundred and twenty-five percent."
With the investment of Legend Points, the efficiency of capturing a human vessel began to soar.
Originally what might have taken decades or even a hundred years to possibly capture, the probability increased significantly. Duncan felt a trace of Divine Thought split from his consciousness, trying to bypass these world’s Root Laws and invade these reality layers.
In essence, it is still soul possession, seeking a tool to load into the reality world.
Not sure when he can craft a human vessel himself.
Unlike the previous descents into human vessels, this time Duncan is investing with principal. If not careful, it might result in a loss.
Duncan’s goal is also very clear.
Having learned a lesson from World Three, he now acts much more discreetly. Beating up Evil Gods to grab human vessels was too high profile. His primary goal is to first earn back the ten Legend Points invested, and discuss other matters later, avoiding a situation where descending into a human vessel ends up as a financial loss.
Now his control ability over the Dimension Space has advanced. Previously, it was all about luck; capturing whichever human vessel was fate. Now, He can lock onto and capture human vessels from specific reality planes.
