Chapter 742 A high-level transcendent?
"Stronger than the Named One?" Beatrice was surprised. "Are you planning to take on Lina?"
"You know Lina too?"
"Of course I know. She's the one who kept most of the Candlelight Society's records regarding the Named Person. She might not have been very active in recent years, but a few hundred years ago, she was quite famous."
"Hundreds of years? Famous?" Zeus was a little surprised. He then realized that he didn't seem to know much about Lina.
All he knew was that Isaac was being beaten by Lina, and that Lina was defeated several times by Big Gwen, and after confronting Little Gwen, she cursed a few words and retreated.
It doesn't look that powerful.
Looking at Zeus's expression, Beatrice also understood a little. Although this border earl had the loyalty of many extraordinary people, his understanding of the extraordinary world was not very deep.
"Transcendents are divided into different categories based on their paths, each with its own strengths. There are the [Nymphs] who excel at concealment, the [Skin-Covered] who excel at head-on combat, the [Investigators] who excel at everything, and the [Knights] who excel at nothing. In short, while each has its strengths, the overall disparity isn't that great."
"They are the main body of the extraordinary, the backbone of a church, and they support the entire extraordinary world."
"And above these extraordinary people are the second-level extraordinary people."
"Second level!?" Xiu Si was stunned. "There's also a second level? Are there third and fourth levels, and then saints, demigods, and so on?"
"What is that?" Beatrice asked, puzzled. "But second-level transcendents are generally not considered human beings. To some extent, they are more like objects, like the cocoon of a fire-chasing moth. You should have seen it, right?"
Beatrice knew that some of Hughes' men were loyal to the Fire Moths. She was quite scared at first, but after getting to know them for a long time, she found that these people were quite friendly and not as crazy as she had imagined.
Well, the banshee is still a little crazier.
"【cocoon】?"
Zeus had actually heard Chloe mention this name before, saying that it could hold souls. He originally thought it was some kind of vessel, but now it seems to be a transcendent being?
"Yes, there are also the Candlelight Society's [Secret Keepers]. They are all second-level transcendents. Transcendents at this level cannot exist in the mortal world and can only survive in the Sea of Unconsciousness. If you go to the Three-Pointed Gate, you can see a lot of them. But then again, once you go to the Three-Pointed Gate, you basically can't come back."
"It cannot exist in this world, so what is here is..."
"Projection." Beatrice, not knowing what she was thinking about, revealed a nostalgic expression. "Anyway, there's no need to worry too much about Level 2 Transcendents. Their impact on the world is minimal; they only have some special abilities."
"Okay, I just have a question. Why are they called 'Second Order' Transcendents? Can you be promoted to a [Secret Keeper]?"
"Well, I'm not sure about that. But even if you can get promoted, no one would do it. For example, the [Cocoon] can't move and can only communicate with the outside world through writing. The [Secret Keeper] can only stay in a room and can't leave. And they don't have any powerful powers. Who would want to become like this?"
Zeus frowned, feeling that something was strange but he couldn't figure it out for the moment.
"What about the [Named Ones]? Who's more powerful, them or the second-level transcendents?"
"That's difficult to compare. Tier 2 Transcendents are generally incapable of combat. Even those like the Secret Keepers, who are capable of movement, cannot leave the Secret Keeper Council's chamber. Therefore, it's difficult to consider them as combat power."
"So, only first-level transcendents can fight freely? Then are there third-level ones?"
"Ordinary transcendents also have various limitations. For example, we [Investigators] sometimes have bad luck. [Nymphs] only have a human shell, and their bodies have no human structures at all. [Buriers] can't die even if they want to. If they get caught, it will be very troublesome."
Hughes' eyes lit up. "If we capture the Buried, wouldn't that mean we can have them work for generations? Isn't that a perpetual motion machine?"
Beatrice curled her lips and said, "The Silent Temple has launched many holy wars because of this."
Fighting to avoid overtime can truly be called a holy war.
"As for the higher-level transcendents, I can tell you very clearly that there are none. Even the second-level transcendents can't move, so how can there be higher beings?"
"But there are indeed many strange and bizarre extraordinary people." Beatrice thought for a moment and added.
"Like a dual pathway?"
"Yes, Isaac and Jules. They both have dual paths, but they were both obtained accidentally during that disaster. There is no stable method to become one."
"And this is even more true for the [Named Person]." When she said this, her eyes dimmed a little.
Once upon a time, she also wanted to be promoted to a [Named One], but it turned out to be nothing more than a scam.
Now that I think about it, someone must have set a trap for her. If Castel hadn't sent someone over at the right time, she would probably have been finished.
Beatrice clenched her fists.
Don't let her know who it is, otherwise he will be in trouble - she is even known as the legendary fountain!
"So, which one is more powerful, the [Named One] or the Dual Path?"
"It depends on which two paths they are. Also, you underestimate the Named Ones. They are incredibly powerful!"
Is it hard to imagine?
Hughes only remembered that Gwen could easily chase and beat Lina every time.
Besides her medical skills, Gwen doesn't have many "unimaginable" things.
At least she couldn't carry the Dragon Breath Cannon with her body.
"The Vatican has previously conducted experiments. Uncle Jules could easily handle a team of five Investigators. However, records show that capturing the Named Individuals would require at least twenty-five people in direct combat."
"Twenty-five people?!"
Xius was a little surprised by the number.
[Investigator]'s ability in frontal combat is definitely not weak, and can even be called very strong. At least Nora has admitted that [Buried] cannot beat [Investigator] in a one-on-one fight.
In other words, one Lina is better than twenty-five Noras?
This is really unexpected.
That [Named One] is indeed strong. Isaac definitely cannot defeat twenty-five extraordinary beings, not even the [Knights].
"Mobilizing twenty-five investigators would require the involvement of several dioceses. The number of investigators is large, the target is large, and the logistics are very complex." Beatrice's expression gradually became serious. "And the [Named Person] is only one person, so he needs much more flexibility."
"If [Named Person] is determined to cause damage and then leave, there's almost no effective way to deal with them."
"Will the [Named Person] come to cause trouble?"
"Yes, for some reason, the [Named Person] is constantly causing trouble around the world, and it's not just targeting the Candlelight Society. Have you ever dealt with the [Named Person]?"
