<Chapter 2>
A system message explained to the startled Hyun-jun.
-The absorbed destiny becomes the protagonist’s abilities as is!
Abilities include skills, aura cultivation methods, and knowledge, and rarely, status, connections, curses, or blessings are also inherited.
How to utilize those abilities is up to the protagonist!
With the protagonist’s current stats, the utilization of ‘Mad Alchemist Sonam’ is extremely limited!
‘This is obvious.’
It would be abnormal if a level 1 could freely use Eight Divine Beings-tier alchemy.
However.
Vwoooom…!
Alchemy-related knowledge, historical and geographical information of the era Sonam lived in, secret histories of human relationships, and more were automatically implanted into his mind.
Judging purely by alchemy knowledge, he was several steps above the current Alchemy Department professor at the academy.
‘Besides, this roulette opportunity isn’t the last one… it seems to be added as I clear missions.’
His heart pounded at the thought.
‘If I gain power like this…!
I can even change the original story’s plot and ending!’
“…In other words, you only have these two choices.”
Time was flowing normally again, and the Female Bishop had finished her explanation after hearing Ulric’s counterargument.
“Please give me your answer to the proposal.”
To summarize, there were two.
First.
Refuse to admit his sins and be dragged to the Tower of Sacrifice to be offered as a sacrifice.
Second.
Admit his sins and live locked up in this Time Prison for the rest of his life.
These were the choices proposed by The Three Kings.
“Which will you choose?”
In the original story, he chose the second option while declaring, ‘I am… a sinner…’
But it was different now.
“I will go to the Tower of Sacrifice.”
“I knew you would… wait, what?”
“I said I will go to the Tower of Sacrifice.”
The Female Bishop was flustered.
But Ulric was indifferent.
Even if he chose the second option and stayed here, another messenger would come running in just an hour and arbitrarily change the decision anyway.
In an hour, the kings of the Three Kingdoms would arbitrarily decide among themselves to send Ulric to the Tower of Sacrifice.
Of course, the Female Bishop at this point in time didn’t know that.
“Are you out of your mind?
You will definitely die if you enter that tower!
You will slowly have all your memories and life force sucked away, dying over a long period of time!”
The Female Bishop was right.
The one holding dominion over the Tower of Sacrifice was a sphinx that sucked up the knowledge of its sacrifices.
It demanded sacrifices irregularly, tormenting the imprisoned sacrifices and extracting their knowledge.
What if a sacrifice wasn’t offered?
Then it would visit nearby lower lords and toy with them by proposing a Riddle [Challenge] that could never be answered correctly.
