Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"I was a bit impulsive, and prejudged Klein after seeing him."

After the gathering ended, Tao Yu quickly organized his thoughts.

It was natural with Klein because they had met in Tingen, and he had seen Sherlock, so it all came naturally when he approached using his identity as a follower of 'The Fool'.

However, collecting 'Emperor Roselle's Diary' because of a roundtable knight meeting was somewhat risky, as most people still referred to it as 'notes'.

"But there are many collectors and, generally speaking, it shouldn't be too problematic, it's just that the other party's identity..."

As Tao Yu drove his carriage on the way back, a series of green vines slowly fell from around them, and suddenly the scene in front of them changed again.

Sharon, who had acquired a Sequence Five extraordinary item from the Pathway of the Death, also sensed something was amiss. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

But before they could react, the scenery changed before them, as if they had fallen into a secluded Peach Blossom Spring, cut off from the world.

And the original organizer of the roundtable meeting was also quietly present here.

"Oh, lady, this is not in accordance with the rules."

Tao Yu tried to speak calmly.

At the same time, he hesitated within, wondering if he should immediately reveal Roselle's diary's secrets or pull them into an Innate Boundary Field if she really pushed it.

Neither option seemed good.

Sharon too slowly appeared, performing a curtsy.

"Do you need something from us?"

Sharon's teacher was an Angel, so she knew the terror of a high Sequence, which was not something a mid-Sequence could contend with.

"Emperor Roselle's Diary, why do you think it's a diary?"

The mysterious woman quietly looked at Tao Yu and then spoke in an even tone.

"It's a guess based on the recording method. I've studied it for a long time. There is some notation that seems to be a format for month and date, but of course, that is just my personal speculation."

"That makes sense. Do you like Roselle's things a lot?"

The mysterious woman seemed to have no malice, and just wanted to talk more with Tao Yu.

"Yes, so if the lady has more of his diaries, I would like to purchase them."

"I do have many of Emperor Roselle's diaries, but there's no mysterious power in them; they're just plain diaries. As an apology, I can give you one."

Upon her saying that, Tao Yu fell silent. What the heck? Say I recognize the writing? Want to have a look?

If he were stronger, perhaps he could try, but now there was no need.

"My Pathway specializes in Clairvoyance. I have a premonition that the key to what I seek may be with you."

She stated it as if just explaining something, and then, the Peach Blossom Spring-like mystery dispersed as she slowly departed.

"We shall meet again..."

As she left, a page from the diary also fluttered down in front of Tao Yu, but he just received it without looking at it.

Her way of speaking left Tao Yu a bit speechless. What Pathway was that, Diviner? Or something similar?

Just like Charatu in the diary, an enigmatic person.

Only after the woman, suspected to be Emperor Roselle's daughter, left did Sharon breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"She must have prophesied something and came to make contact. By reputation, this extraordinary gathering is quite splendid."

"Hmm, maybe she just wanted to have a chat with us."

Tao Yu was noncommittal and also pondered whether Mr. Fool, suspected to be Emperor Roselle searching for his memory, and Roselle's daughter being here, could be brought together by him.

Could he receive a reward from Mr. Fool?

Thinking this, Tao Yu got a little excited.

After all, he had already claimed to be the emperor and, combined with the War of the Four Emperors, he could be 'The Foolish Emperor'!

A True God waking from slumber!

If he could gain His help, his own extraordinary path would be much easier, and also obtain corresponding support when battling the Primeval Witch in the end.

"However, it's a pity that Mr. Fool doesn't allow exposure. Should I pray and ask Him?"

As soon as Tao Yu thought it, upon returning home and parting with Sharon, he immediately went to pray.

"The Fool who does not belong to this era..."

...

Just as he fell asleep, he was awakened by the noise, and then, dragging his weary body from the washroom to check the gray fog above, Klein saw that it was a star representing Tao Yu and he was startled.

This fellow had gone to a high-profile extraordinary gathering, could he have encountered some trouble and was seeking help?

"Respected Mr. Fool, today I attended an extraordinary gathering. The gathering used a legendary background from my and Emperor Roselle's homeland. The meeting's presider, who is suspected to be Emperor Roselle's daughter..."

Listening to Tao Yu's rambling words, the hints were clear whether he should arrange a meeting for them.

Klein's expression became strange, and then he felt a bit like banging his head on the table in frustration.

"This guy, he's not mistaking 'The Fool' for Emperor Roselle, is he? But if you think about it, they actually do seem similar, a high-level being with a diary searching for memory?"

Klein felt like vomiting blood, recalling the words from Roselle's diary...

"Mrs. Flonas is truly a beauty."

"Miss Isaka is even more charming than Mrs. Flonas. Perhaps I am just nostalgic for my youth."

"Miss Matilda is really beautiful."

"Countess Fowles invited me to a private party, heh heh."

"..."

The mental pollution seemed to brainwash him as they stuffed themselves into Klein's head while he repeatedly rammed his forehead against the desk in the gray fog, screaming like a groundhog.

Impossible!

I am definitely not Emperor Roselle!

And I do not want to be associated with him!

But...

There's just no solution…

Unless I tear off my own disguise right now, there's a very high probability that in their eyes, I am indeed Emperor Roselle, who is reviving.

If I weren't Mr. Fool myself, I would be suspicious too!

And the key point is that I can't explain this kind of thing specially!

Isn't explaining just a disguise?

"But Emperor Roselle's daughter, ah, should have many diaries, sigh…"

Klein also considered pretending for a while and then deceiving more diaries, but ultimately chose not to do so.

"Let the misunderstanding last, it's better than being caught."

Klein couldn't help thinking of Tao Yu, who had become a witch, his face also showing a hint of helplessness.

Fellow transmigrators always have their social deaths; it seems I cannot escape it either…

...

"Hm? No response? Don't want to meet or yet to recover to that extent…"

Tao Yu pondered and immediately thought of Charatu's divination comments,

Right, the diary says that his daughter would eventually become estranged from him and hate him.

"So, she isn't ready to meet yet? According to historical records, Emperor Roselle had an inauspicious old age, doing many absurd things, possibly for this reason, due to becoming a god? Wait a moment…"

Tao Yu thought to herself, Emperor Roselle should be an extraordinary of the pathway of the God of Steam and Machinery, his way forward already blocked. Did he cross pathways to become a god?

So, there's contamination?

"Could it be that the cause of his death was from going mad and dying in a war of gods? Hence he styled himself as 'Fool'?"

Tao Yu couldn't make too many guesses; if Mr. Fool didn't want to meet now, then there was nothing that could be done.

"However, as a reserve follower of Mr. Fool, I feel I cannot ignore this and let it be. I should mend their father-daughter relationship. I think Mr. Fool would thank me for it…"

Tao Yu began to mull over her thoughts.

A rebellious daughter and a proud and aloof father have conflicts due to some misunderstandings, which are difficult to resolve on their own.

But thinking about some of the scandalous content written in Emperor Roselle's Diary, Tao Yu's expression became somewhat complicated.

This task is difficult. It requires careful, long-term planning…

...

Back home, after the prayer went unanswered, Tao Yu also began preparing the Potion for the Pleasure Witch.

The Potion was soon in hand.

"If the Potion hadn't been fully digested, other extraordinaries might have faced death rates as high as ninety-eight percent," Tao Yu commented, looking at the bubbling Potion without concern, and downed it in one gulp.

An impact stronger than any before surged through him, as if it was about to tear his body apart.

He felt like the flesh on his body was peeling off piece by piece.

This was the roughness due to the under-digested Witch Potion.

"Really painful."

Tao Yu's spirit could exempt him, but the feeling of pain still made him inhale sharply.

"This extraordinary system is truly perverse, a path of growth for a bunch of masochists."

Tao Yu felt eyes tearing through his flesh, manifesting one after another, abstractly, while his hair began to grow by itself, then started twisting, as if the hair itself was going to grow eyes.

After nearly an hour of changes, his body finally began to stabilize, the strength was merged.

Only the rough feeling left by the Witch Potion made him somewhat uncomfortable.

But fortunately, the Potion of the Pleasure Witch was almost fully digested upon intake, just as he had expected!

Although it wasn't completely digested, this greatly relieved the drawbacks of the under-digested Potion.

His strength once again improved.

After confirming with a bowed head that his tool for committing crimes was still there, Tao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, cut off the hair that had grown out again, and with a slight movement of his eyes, the space before him filled with numerous spiritual threads like spider silk.

This was the ability gained after reaching Sequence Six!

Both offensive and defensive!

Perhaps, it was time to properly utilize the treasure that is Heaven's Lock, somewhat whitewashing it.

And his abilities upfront also got a corresponding enhancement.

"Mirror…"

Due to the fusion with part of his own abilities and the slight reinforcement from the Deification, Tao Yu had a new sensation towards the original 'Mirror Substitute'.

A feeling that vaguely could be combined with the Innate Boundary Field!

"It's a pity, just short of the mark, merely the beginning of a clue. Next, I'll either need second Deification or constant elevation of my Sequence. Perhaps upon entering a higher Sequence, it can reach a practical phase of use."

Tao Yu leaped backward, entering right into a mirror. Then, he emerged from another mirror on the other side of the room.

For now, that was about the extent of it.

"Phew, as long as it's not too exaggerated, winning a battle against Sequence Five shouldn't be a problem."

With the newfound ability, Tao Yu was itching to try it out.

"Should I go find Mr. A and have another fight? He completed his assassination task; he must be going to the Witch Sect to collect his money, right?"

But then Tao Yu still temporarily dismissed the idea. A madman is unpredictable; there's no telling what he might do.

"However, not even I could digest it completely at once, still leaving a bit remaining. The portrayal of the 'Pleasure Witch' is quite impressive, bringing pleasure without any fixed gender, ew, disgusting things…"

A look of distaste crossed Tao Yu's face; it would be best to switch disguises for this. The Hunter's subsequent Potions could be worth a try…

Having tried the violent Potion of Sequence Six, Tao Yu wasn't planning to ingest Sequence Five potions until the previous one was fully digested.

Currently, I can handle Sequence Five on my own. Even becoming Sequence Five might not allow crossing the threshold of higher Sequences, so the urgency isn't as intense.

And if really pushed, I could use self-prayer to reach the level of a higher Sequence, or risk using the Innate Barrier.

So, it's better to plan for the long term, safety first...
