I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 158: Direct contact

Suffice to say, he didn't come up with anything. He felt like he had hit a block in terms of his creative capacity.

Maybe I should try taking help from my teammates.

He thought while gazing at the sky.

There were no stars, no moon, literally nothing up there. Just a plain dark blanket.

His extended vision was active the entire time to guard against any beasts, plenty had entered it over the hours.

But they would usually turn away and go about their ways instead of heading in their camp's direction.

Edward had done an extremely good job of searching for a suitable camping spot. It was secluded enough that no beast would wander through the area.

The only possibility of that happening would be if it lost its way or mistakenly stumbled here.

He thought back to the one line revered appellation.

Just what else could that sentence point towards?

The Hand That Tilts the Scales.

Imbalance?

But bias and imbalance feel the same. It's about favoring one side, making it unfair, biased, and so on.

But how do these authorities fit in the situation arghh.

Like what is their role?

Hmmmm.

Eryndor's eyes narrowed as he thought of something.

Dr. Ralph was able to have his array formation bestowed with the ability to remove the mark of ownership on Energy of Consciousness.

I was also able to get myself the ability to transfer Energy of Consciousness and remove the mark of ownership, but it was temporary.

Safe to assume that the one bestowed on that array formation was temporary as well.

So authorities can be bestowed on an object or a person temporarily.

However, what if the authorities 'acted' on the target?

If we assume that 'The Hand That Tilts the Scales' points towards the authority of 'weight', and if it increased the weight of the target, which is 'acting' on it, instead of giving them a temporary ability to manipulate weight, would the increase in weight be permanent?

And if you need to permanently bestow the ability, is it possible?

He first messaged Dr. Ralph about this doubt. Of course, he began with a polite message, and then asked the questions.

"Is it possible for an entity to use its authority on the target through invocation ritual?

"Second doubt, is it possible for the ability bestowed by the entity through invocation ritual to be permanent?"

Dr. Ralph: "Wait a minute, I'll ask Dr. Kirchoff if you can directly contact him.

"It's not that I'm disturbed by your messages but if the information happens to be precious and important, he'll have to once again take the effort and precautions to make it password protected and all.

"A better alternative would be if you could directly contact him."

Dr. Ralph wasn't stupid by any means. Judging by how the information last time wasn't privy even to him but Dr. Kirchoff was willing to give it to this young man, it was obvious his identity wasn't ordinary.

There was a high chance that he could directly contact Dr. Kirchoff in that case.

Directly contacting Dr. Kirchoff?

Eryndor's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

He knew that it was highly likely that it was Dr. Kirchoff who had led the mission to seal him, and he was also the only one who knew about his identity.

Well, Co-founder Morris and that entity targeting me know as well, but I'll deal with them sooner or later.

Eryndor thought about what he would do if he could indeed talk directly with Dr. Kirchoff.

Should I show awareness about my eldritch nature? Obviously not.

Maybe I should just act like an ordinary person who got the chance to practice a power system by luckily awakening an ability.

It's a good thing that Passive Regeneration doesn't come under the common abilities of eldritch entities.

Hmmm, now that I look at it, why do I even have Passive Regeneration if I am an eldritch entity? Aren't the common abilities only supposed to be Telekinesis and Cognitive Scrying?

Where did Passive Regeneration come from?

Hmmmm… no use thinking about it.

Eryndor mentally added that note to his mind and waited for Dr. Ralph's response.

It was approximately a minute later that it arrived.

"He agreed. He'll contact you regarding the answers soon.

"Also, you can still ask me questions if you don't mind. I'll do my best to answer them. I don't dare compare myself with Dr. Kirchoff but I do have plenty of knowledge as well."

Eryndor sincerely thanked him, and saw that an unknown number had indeed contacted him.

"Here are your answers.

"Any attempt at sharing it will be known immediately, I recommend you don't try it."

Wow, that was cold.

There were no greetings or anything, or even acknowledgement.

But then again, he is the high and mighty President of the Human Federation, why would he care about a student.

Or, could it mean that he does not want me to know I'm different?

Chuck it.

Eryndor didn't want to sit and dissect Dr. Kirchoff's intentions and thoughts. He was the head of the largest organization among the humans of Earth, how could his thoughts be known simply through a couple of chats?

He looked through the information package.

First of all, bestowing a permanent ability is extremely difficult through an invocation ritual, near impossible.

And the second thing, an entity can indeed 'use' their authority through the invocation ritual.

Their target will retain the change brought about by the use of authority by the entity.

But it's written than the requirements for this is extremely harsh

"Can I know what the requirements are for the entity to use its authority through the invocation ritual?"

The reply was quick.

"Massive amount of vitality is drained from the most conscious beings in vicinity, and anyone involved bears the mental brunt of being in the presence of the entity.

"Of course, the entire pressure of its existence isn't pressed against them, just a tiny amount.

"A medium is needed from the entity's side which will be consumed in the process. The more times the entire revered appellation is spoken, the higher the chances of success.

"Depending on the entity, authority, target, and the change required, it may take anywhere from days to months, or even years."

Dots rapidly connected in Eryndor's mind as he read through the answer given by Dr. Kirchoff.
