GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 2248: Investment Venture.
Chapter 2248: Investment Venture.
So Sir Kriss was borrowing the high grade artifact when he used it for his investigation. His sister has to return it after he is done with it, and during the process of using it, there has to be two powerful guards protecting the artifact.
Sir Kriss himself would have acquired more guards to protect it if he didn’t want to draw too much attention to the fact that the crown is currently in his possession. That goes to show just how much he values the artifact.
He didn’t protect his daughter with two epic beings, but he is willing to spend a lot of money to hire up to five epic beings to guard the crown.
It isn’t that he doesn’t care about his daughter. It is that he is more willing to risk the loss of his daughter than risk the loss of the high-grade divine artifact.
Despite how much he values the divine artifact, he still brought it out to read Jack’s mind and investigate the Golden Hammer gang. This shows just how seriously he takes the Golden Hammer gang.
Unfortunately, his investment of time and resources into investigating the Golden Hammer gang hasn’t shown the result he wanted. So he has decided to take things up a notch.
But no matter how disappointing the outcome of the investment of time and effort into investigating the Golden Hammer gang, he is glad that he made it because a disappointing investigation is better than a disappointing fight. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
He would rather be disappointed in safety than risk his life in a fight and be disappointed when he runs into something he can’t handle. This is why he is still encouraged to investigate the Golden Hammer gang.
Legion didn’t know this. But they wouldn’t be surprised if they found out that someone was scheming against them.
They won’t be surprised that someone is scheming against them because they have very little reason to believe that no one is scheming against them.
In fact, they always think that someone is scheming against them. This feeling has become heightened ever since the judge appeared.
There is also the fact that they know that Jack’s mind is chaotic and he was having secret meetings with people. They learned this through their slaves.
One of their slaves used Mind Read on him and caught Jack thinking about a secret meeting. This made them alert immediately.
Even though they were curious about what the meeting was and why it caused him mental pain, they didn’t order their slave to use hypnosis to interrogate him.
What they saw instead put them on high alert. Especially when Jack thought about how he had been meeting them for a while.
They became cautious and simply behaved like they didn’t notice anything and instead dedicated themselves to helping their fate weavers to advance to rank 4.
They spent four weeks on the intensive mental brainwashing. Hypnosis only affects the surface of the mind, where short-term memory and short-lived thoughts reside. By influencing this layer of the mind over a long period of time, the memory layer beneath the surface layer can also be modified.
It is how people keep telling someone that they are a genius over and over again for a long time. After a while, that person will start believing that they might be a genius after all.
It is also like how someone who repeats a lie for a long time begins to believe their own lie. The surface of the mind is short-lived, but a lot of things that occur in this layer precipitate onto the secondary layer as memory.
By using this phenomenon to its fullest extent, they can make someone believe that advancing to rank 4 is easy and that they can’t feel pain. These two lies will become the truth after they are repeated every second of every day for 30 days.
By believing that advancing to rank 4 is easy, their slaves won’t be afraid of assimilating the rank 4 divine flesh. This will make them confident of success and put their mind in a peak state for the assimilation.
The second lie, that they can’t feel pain, will ensure that the slaves maintain their peak state even when they should be experiencing excruciating pain as their body is being modified by the divine flesh.
After these two major obstacles to successfully advancing to rank 4 are fixed, what’s left is for Legion to actively help them resist the temptation of the divine flesh.
Finally, by converting the godclad into a puppet, the inner demon caused by the presence of a divine flesh in their bodies won’t affect them at all. After all, if there is no free will for the inner demon to take over, then the threat of inner demons will fall to its lowest.
All of these preparations ensured that one of the fate weavers survived the advancement from rank 3 to rank 4. The one who survived got Legion talking about the kinds of slaves that they should help advance in the future.
Legion-1 said, "That nearly confirms it. The older godclads are, the higher their chances of surviving the advancement."
Legion-4 suggested, "It might be because of their increased mastery of their divine abilities or because they have more experience dealing with the temptation of divine flesh."
Legion-6 said, "I think it is the latter. I think the experience has tempered their minds for much longer than our four weeks of hypnotism could ever do."
Legion-2 agreed. "It might not just be the experience of dealing with temptation that tempered their minds. It might also just be general life experiences. The more they have lived and experienced, the tougher and more resilient their minds will be."
Legion-7 said, "We should be able to confirm when we become legendary telepaths."
Legion-3 chuckled and said meaningfully, "We will be able to confirm more than just this hypothesis with that kind of power. We will be able to get up to all kinds of things with it."
