Chapter 181: Chapter 133: New Trait [Magic Refilling Master]

Only after the [Eye of Misfortune] had finished its meal did It slowly speak.

"When will my Museum of Misfortune be built?"

Lian shrank back. ’He hasn’t even rewarded me yet and he’s already asking about the project’s progress. What an insatiable boss.’

"I am currently making contact with her. I’ve discovered something interesting that I’m sure you’ll want to know."

"?"

The [Eye of Misfortune] formed a curious expression and stared at Lian.

Lian continued, "Mary Frank is actually the one chosen by the God of Tiger. She possesses immense talent and an extremely high Luck Value. From the moment she was born, she’s been the darling of the heavens. Wouldn’t turning someone like that into a collection piece for the Museum of Misfortune be all the more exciting? Don’t you want to snatch away the person He chose from right under Tiger’s nose?"

The [Eye of Misfortune] narrowed slightly, taking on a profound expression.

"Interesting. I look forward to seeing your work soon. Before that, perhaps you can send the Demon Eater to me first."

So far, the only Demon Eater Lian had ever come into contact with was Nancy Stuart.

A princess who had experienced the pain of a fallen kingdom was indeed to the [Eye of Misfortune]’s taste.

"She is already my contracted Demon. If I were to offer her to you, my own soul would be wounded. So, I’m afraid I cannot fulfill your wish."

"Heh heh."

The [Eye of Misfortune] let out another ambiguous chuckle.

"Tell me, what do you want this time? Power, or a Gift?"

Power or a Gift?

Hearing the word "Gift," Lian inexplicably thought of the Eye of the Future and the Ripper.

’Aren’t all these Gifts supposed to be blessings from the God of Tiger? Could it be that Jari, a Subordinate God to the God of Tiger, can also create Gifts?’

’Sacrificing three Knights to get one Gift... that doesn’t seem like a good deal for Jari, does it?’

’There’s definitely a catch.’

But even knowing there was a catch, the allure of a Gift was immense.

Lian could gain Power through the entry system, but he couldn’t get Gifts that way.

If he could obtain a powerful Gift like the Sequence Five Ripper, his personal strength would be greatly enhanced.

To be honest, Lian wasn’t confident he could sacrifice Mary yet.

He had previously asked Nancy Stuart if she could bring Mary into a dream, but the answer was no.

The most Nancy Stuart could do was bring someone of a similar power level into a dreamscape. Mary’s Spirit, however, was clearly much stronger than Nancy Stuart’s. She couldn’t guide Mary’s dream, let alone connect it to Lian’s.

This meant that the same sacrificial method that had worked on Sting Litt would not work on Mary.

Unless Mary, like the Spirit of the Forest before her, actively infiltrated Lian’s own dream.

But Mary didn’t seem to have that kind of ability, nor would she do such a thing.

Therefore, to sacrifice Mary, he would have to do it in the real world.

That meant he would need to prepare a real altar, a real bed of calamity, and a real sacrifice.

’With my current strength, trying to capture a Seven-star Order Knight who is like a moon surrounded by stars and wields the Ripper... it’s going to be really difficult.’

"I choose the Gift."

The [Eye of Misfortune] seemed to have anticipated Lian’s choice. Its eyeball gradually grew illusory, like a crystal ball shrouded in thick fog.

The fog slowly dissipated, and Lian saw a map appear within the crystal ball.

The map slowly drifted down into Lian’s hands.

It was a Treasure Map. The treasure was a Gift called the [Eye of the Past].

Unlike the [Eye of the Future], the [Eye of the Past] had no Sequence number because it had never appeared in the world before. It was like a long-forgotten Gift, sealed away in dust.

The purpose of the [Eye of the Past] was to see certain key nodes in the past and take a person back to that time, allowing them to influence the future by changing the past.

For example, if the current Mary was too powerful to defeat, one could go back to the time of her birth and kill her in her cradle, thus changing the future.

Its function was very similar to the Eye of the Future, but not entirely the same.

Lian felt that the [Eye of the Past] was like a replica created by Jari in imitation of the [Eye of the Future].

’And He’s still being secretive about it, unwilling to give it to me directly.’

As for the price, each use of the [Eye of the Past] would cause the fates of some people to diverge. The fates of these diverted people were the price.

For the user, there was basically no price to pay.

This made it even more practical than the [Eye of the Future].

’Truly a creation of an Evil God. It makes others pay the price while the user remains completely unscathed.’

Of course, Lian remained skeptical about this point.

He decided that after finding it, he would have to run a test—for example, by first traveling back in time to change the fate of an ant.

Furthermore, the [Eye of the Past] wasn’t in the South. Its location was in the Northern Territory, the old lair of the Moria Clan.

Lian didn’t have time to pay a visit to his "old home" just yet.

"Great [Eye of Misfortune], aren’t Gifts something only the God of Tiger can create?"

Lian asked in confusion, seemingly doubting the authenticity of the Treasure Map and worrying that it was a trap set for him by the [Eye of Misfortune].

The [Eye of Misfortune] was in a relatively good mood. It didn’t mind Lian’s suspicion, so before disappearing, It gave him a small hint.

"That is merely a human misunderstanding. In reality, not a single Gift comes from Tiger. He is never willing to proactively interfere with this world."
