Chapter 13: Liar Eater and Prisoner of Fate

As the name suggests, a supernatural person is someone who possesses extraordinary abilities.

Where do their extraordinary abilities come from?

The answer is simple.

In this world view mixed with steam machinery, swords and magic settings, nature is given by God.

Therefore, the extraordinary people can also be called divinely gifted people.

Generally speaking, if you want to become a transcendent, you first need to choose a belief and join the church of the corresponding god, and then you can go to the cathedral to take a qualification test.

This test can distinguish ordinary people from those with extraordinary talents, and those who pass the test will become candidates.

Once the opportunity is right, the church will gather the candidates together and arrange a unified divine ordination ceremony.

During the ceremony, those with sufficiently devout faith will have a much greater chance of passing.

And when you pass the divine bestowal ceremony, you will receive a trial from the gods - generally speaking, the difficulty of the trial is related to your rank.

The lower the rank, the easier the trials that need to be completed.

For example, if you want to become a first-level transcendent, you will often get simple trials such as pleasing the gods, and you only need to sacrifice some treasures.

As the rank increases, the difficulty of the trial will increase exponentially.

For example, the famous strongman of the empire, the "Dragon Slayer" Beo from the Holy Dragon Family, his trial to be promoted to the fifth-level legend is to kill a living dragon! Once you have completed all the trials, you can actively communicate with the gods and pray for promotion to the next level.

The benefits of upgrading your rank are undoubtedly huge.

Not only can you gain new supernatural abilities, but you can also ignite more divine factors to bring out stronger effects of your abilities.

Generally speaking, however, the types of abilities awakened by extraordinary beings are often linked to the authority of gods.

For example, he was once a believer of the Tenli Church.

The god that this church believes in is the Lord of billions of stars, so the abilities awakened by the extraordinary people are mostly related to airflow, gravity, weather, and even magnetic fields.

Once you choose a belief, you can no longer choose another one.

Therefore, the abilities of the extraordinary people in this world are often limited or relatively single.

Few people can master the extraordinary abilities of several beliefs at the same time.

In other words, there has never been a similar precedent.

And from now on, Lynn will set that precedent.

Although his divine gene had been taken away and his faith had dissipated, everything was solved with the existence of the system.

He only needs to increase the plot deviation of the original character to continuously obtain system points, thereby extracting or strengthening extraordinary abilities.

According to the system, one can even ignite the divine factor with one's own strength!

The effect is nothing short of astonishing.

But then again.

It doesn't seem to be easy to increase the plot deviation of others.

For this 0.01% change, he was almost killed by the villain princess! So at this moment, looking at the rapidly rotating relief disc in front of him, Lin En was a little nervous for the first time.

What would be the first ability from the system? For him, this was a matter of life and death, and it directly determined whether he could survive this experiment.

Under Lin En's gaze, the speed of the relief disc finally slowed down, and then slowly stopped in front of him.

The pointer stopped in front of a strange mark.

The mark was very abstract and complex, like a crying clown or a puppet controlled by strings.

[Congratulations on extracting the first-level ability - Lie Eater.]

Liar? Lynn gasped.

Good, good, you are worthy of it, the system of grooves.

He originally thought that there might be a chance to extract abilities such as physical strengthening, or a virtual effect similar to Morris that could blend into shadows.

In short, as long as I can escape from here, anything is fine.

But the system gave him something similar to the concept system.

Lin En clicked on the skill introduction with a stiff expression and started browsing it.

【Name: Lie Swallower】

[Rank: First Order]

[Effect: Lies coming from your mouth will be easier for people to believe; on the contrary, lies coming from other people's mouths can be easily seen through by you.]

[Activation conditions: None]

[Points required for upgrading: 10]

As expected, it is an ability that seems a bit useless.

Perhaps it could occasionally work wonders in daily life and combat, but it seemed unlikely to solve Lynn's current predicament.

It is estimated that the effect will gradually become stronger only after upgrading.

But now, it is just an ordinary ability corresponding to a first-level transcendent.

Besides, I don’t know which faith it belongs to.

Helpless, Lynn tried to activate this ability.

As a result, the next second, layers of ripples suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the scene of the underground laboratory in front of him suddenly disappeared.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Instead, there is another scene.

Where is this?!

Lin En suddenly felt as if he could move freely and stood up in a daze.

However, his eyes stayed on the strange sight before him.

What lies before my eyes is endless void, but it is more than just endless void.

Apart from nothingness and desolation, strands of silk seemed to have broken through the limitations of time and space and came through the void.

Like thin worms, dancing in strange postures.

These threads seem to have life and intelligence, and have a very unified goal, and they are constantly rushing towards that goal.

Countless silk threads gathered into a vast ocean and finally converged somewhere high in the sky.

Lynn looked up.

I saw a skinny human figure being entangled and pulled by those silk threads, and the whole person was in a twisted cross shape, hanging high in the sky.

There were especially many silk threads gathered on His arms, His expression was painful, and His eyes were tightly closed.

But even so, those threads still rushed over like rivers and oceans, torturing him over and over again, as if they took pleasure in it.

"Prisoner of Fate."

For some reason, Lynn pronounced the name slowly.

The next second, layers of ripples came again, and the strong sense of emptiness instantly brought him back to reality.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

Melanie waved her hands vigorously in front of his eyes.

"Oh, nothing."

Lynn answered casually.

It would be strange if nothing happened!

In fact, his heart had already been in turmoil and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

What did that scene represent? Lin En's mind was blank and his mouth was dry.

"If everything is fine, the experiment will begin soon."

Melanie blinked.

not good.

I almost forgot the most important thing at the moment.

The desire to survive made Lin En temporarily suppress the shock and confusion in his heart, and he turned his gaze to the little girl in front of him.

He took a deep breath.

Then, under the effect of the Liar Eater, he slowly said, "Ms. Milani, I want to tell you something."
