Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"Gentle Breeze ballroom hit by another gas explosion, marking yet another recent gas leak incident"

Tao Yu looked at the newspaper headline and found it somewhat speechless too.

The "Gentle Breeze" ballroom had already been attacked by him once before, and as an intelligence-gathering site for the Witch Sect, this time it very likely stemmed from Mr. A coming to collect a debt, causing the conflict.

This made him feel a bit amused.

In fact, many things he had done were just casual deeds, not very important cover identities, done and dusted.

But Mr. A's approach was indeed in line with the stereotypical image he had of him.

Those people from the Aurora Society were indeed very abnormal.

Based on the extraordinary earpiece Klein had procured, it could be deduced that it was likely a problem with the Sequence Eight Listener.

"Becland's gas system needs a fix, or else it's going to turn into Fuyuki City soon."

However, it was also unclear whether this incident would cause problems in the cooperation between the Aurora Society and the Witch Sect.

Last time the Witch Sect gave way, this time it was uncertain if they would still yield.

If they did yield, there might still be no problem, but if they didn't, given Mr. A's mental state, he probably wouldn't let it go so easily.

And it was at this time that Klein, having finished breakfast, came to visit, surely about the issue with that 'Noble'.

Tao Yu thought for a while and took out the materials he had bought at the gathering, handing them over to the other party.

"Here are the materials you need, purchased with the money from the formulas you sold, plus what 'The Sun' promised should be enough."

Klein had only come to talk about the matter of underground spirits, but now seeing the items Tao Yu threw to him, his face was filled with joy.

"You really got them? Thank you."

Indeed, it was only at the level of the extraordinaries' gathering that they could accumulate enough resources.

Klein pondered in his heart.

He had merely exchanged the formula, practically reaping without sowing.

"What about the Noble intelligence?"

"It's been confirmed there is indeed a problem. The Noble family called 'Pond' had heirs dying suddenly over the past decades, likely the corpses that died exploring that underground world, and they've been trying to deceive the official extraordinaries…"

Klein shared his conclusion.

This made Tao Yu feel quite relieved and he laughed and said,

"It's good they're deceiving the official extraordinaries, it means they also can't stand the light, and our pressure will be much lower."

Having had the experience of attacking Mr. A, Tao Yu knew well that dealing with such shady organizations allowed much more leeway.

Everyone had their secrets, after all.

He could go ahead with his self-prayers without any concerns.

Just charge forward and deal with it.

"There should be no pressure. As it looks now, that family has declined. The current one has wasted all his inheritance playing the prodigal, but it's also possible that he's feigning this appearance to lull others into a false sense of security. Shall we have a look?"

Klein seemed eager to act.

"How much do you still need for your Magic Potion?"

Tao Yu inquired, causing Klein's mouth to twitch slightly,

"Almost all used up…"

He really had to be grateful to Mr. Destiny for his prayers before!

Emperor Roselle was himself after all, The Fool's mask worn so well...

Klein felt his toes curl at the thought.

"Maybe wait until you're Sequence Seven before you go, you've already got the weapon from Mr. Sun, right?"

"Yes, I've asked Mr. Fool to transfer it to Mr. Sun already. But there shouldn't be a problem. We're not delving deep into tombs now, just meeting the baron for some information. Miss Sharon doesn't need to come over yet…"

"That's true."

Tao Yu thought it over; it was just confirming the status of a prodigal, no need to be overly cautious.

But Klein was still from the path of Rosago, and it was not clear how much power he had as a mid-sequence.

Even after all this time, the destructive power didn't seem strong, Rosago who could only destroy a building with a gas explosion, left a profound impression on Tao Yu.

Given the chance, such forces could easily overcome the strong with the weak...

…

Although Klein was still Sequence Eight, The Fool's physical coordination was quite impressive, coupled with Tao Yu's mastery of shadows, and their divination beforehand, they quickly located the current heir of the Pond family using Audrey's information...

A grotesquely humorous Clown mask, coupled with a smiling facade mask, when the two cloaked figures appeared in Raft Pond's home, it caused him to nearly fall apart.

"Not again... Can't it stop always being like this..."

Upon merely hearing these words, both Tao Yu and Klein were slightly startled. It seemed that he was not unfamiliar with such situations, and might even be accustomed to them, displaying a cooperative demeanor.

"Oh? It seems you are quite used to this, tell me more."

Tao Yu spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Ah, ever since I inherited the title, the servants in the house have been changed one after another. They all seem to be searching for something. I was only ten at the time, and I didn't dare show anything..."

Raft also appeared very cooperative, honestly recounting the situations he had encountered.

To ensure authenticity, Klein also used Dream Spirit Contact to ask again, receiving the same response.

"Come on, let me have a try."

Seeing Klein use Dream Spirit Contact, Tao Yu was itching to try; he hadn't had the chance to try it on a real person since he learned it.

"You go ahead."

Klein gestured invitingly to Tao Yu and then watched, speechless, as Tao Yu pulled out a 'Nightmare' talisman and tossed one to Raft.

Are you a devil...

...

After the ritual was complete, Tao Yu entered Raft's dream. Because he used a 'Nightmare' talisman, Raft's dream was a veritable dance of demons at that moment.

Surrounding them were tall figures with expressionless faces, constantly circling around him, creating a highly abstract scene.

Just as Tao Yu was about to start questioning, he froze for a moment and then furrowed his brows.

Besides his own 'Nightmare' talisman, what other power was tampering with the dreamscape?

It resembled exploiting loopholes in the rules!

Hard to detect, imperceptible.

Yet, Tao Yu's Mental Body possessed Divinity; even without being conspicuous, he could still observe this change with the perspective of a bystander.

"There are big fish to catch here..."

Tao Yu, who had initially just wanted to try it out, had his eyes brighten ever so slightly.

With this preconception, Tao Yu's subsequent actions were undoubtedly much simpler.

The opposition had something that twisted dreams, but there must be a limit to it. Since it was a 'Nightmare', Tao Yu leveraged his current Sequence Six abilities to continuously inject negative energy into the dreamscape.

This startled Klein, who was on the lookout outside.

He suddenly perceived a sinister and hateful aura emanating from Tao Yu.

"Wow, is the Witch Path this eerie..."

Klein had been in contact with Lady Sharron and indeed found her very strange, but it wasn't to this extent, was it?

Yet, thinking of his fellow countryman's uniqueness, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart and once again erected a Spiritual Wall outside to reinforce the sealing.

"Have you discovered something?"

Regardless of Klein's doubts outside, Tao Yu within the dream had successfully broken through the bindings of the twisted rules, and now used threads to fully tie up Raft in the dream.

"You put on a good act; you almost had me fooled."

Tao Yu looked at Raft, who was tied up in the dream, and his face revealed a look of approval.

"Who... who are you?"

Raft seemed to maintain a certain level of clarity in the dream by relying on some special power, but Tao Yu also realized that the other's strength was not formidable, so as the ritual continued, Raft quickly became dazed again.

He started to answer Tao Yu's questions with a vacant look in his eyes...

"... Underground lies an evil spirit that has been Sealed for two thousand years, and flowing in my body is the great bloodline of Tudor, the bloodline of the 'Emperor of Blood'..."

The revelation was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Tao Yu quite astonished.

If his guess was correct, the 'Emperor of Blood' could be a True God!

So the Pond family was actually an offshoot of Tudor, just obscured and unnamed.

However, looking at it now, the descendants of the former True God were in dire straits.

"Do you want to cooperate with that evil spirit?"

"I have thought about it, but it seems to hold deep malice towards our Tudor bloodline. All my ancestors have died, and I dare not attempt to delve deeper for fear it would exert influence over me with its power."

An evil spirit from two thousand years ago, involved with matters from the Era of the Gods—this connection was rather significant.

Still, fortune favors the bold, so it's worth a try.

I'll call for Miss Sharon as well, and we'll deal with that evil spirit!

With Divinity by his side, Tao Yu had a natural advantage over pure spirit entities like evil spirits.

If all else fails, I'll trick the evil spirit into possessing me, and then hehehe...
