I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 863 - 548 New Ultimate Technique, Four Faces of Destiny_2
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your timely intervention. Otherwise, these old bones of mine might have ended up here."
Hugo said with a cheerful smile, casually wiping the sweat from his forehead. Beside him, Ibrayin also slightly bowed his head, softly expressing his gratitude:
"Thank you for your assistance, Your Majesty Jack."
"Since we’ve been invited to travel together, it is only right to watch out for each other."
Chen Lun responded with a polite smile and put his fallen hat back on.
He knew very well in his heart that even if he did not intervene, Hugo and Ibrayin would not be in any life-threatening danger. After all, these two were veteran Saints, hiding countless aces up their sleeves. At the very least, their Mythical Creature Forms had yet to be revealed... freewebnøvel.coɱ
Nonetheless, Chen Lun had his principles; once he accepted something from others, he naturally felt obliged to exert his effort.
"Phew... Although this journey is somewhat regrettable, I have gotten mostly what I wanted. Why not call it a day for now? What do you think, Your Majesties?"
Hugo smiled at the two and said.
Both Chen Lun and Ibrayin were invited as helpers, naturally having no objections. They nodded in agreement to the proposal of returning.
"Alright then."
The old headmaster immediately took out a piece of pitch-black stone, tightly grasping it with his left hand while his right hand held the magic wand and began chanting a spell.
Mythical energy surged. He flung the black stone forward with his left hand, and a brilliant green light burst from the tip of the wand, piercing through the black stone. Instantly, a long narrow current gateway appeared through the stone.
The three of them stepped through in succession, disappearing into the Netherworld.

[Completed A-level side quest: Journey to the Netherworld!]
[Received quest rewards: 800,000 Experience Points, 1000 Blue Gabo, Hugo’s Affection and Hugo’s collection (two magic-related Mythological Tomes)!]
[Hugo Pacheco’s Affection towards you has increased, currently Friendly!]
The old headmaster was a man of principle. Just after the three had returned to reality, he immediately handed out the rewards to Chen Lun and Ibrayin.
"Your Majesty Jack, this is the Mythical Tome I promised you earlier. They are my collection from over a hundred years ago, containing knowledge known by very few. I hope they aid your research."
Hugo handed over a pale gray and a blue thick tome, saying with a light smile.
The two books had hard covers, yet they felt rich in texture. The dense patterns were made from unknown fabric material, covered with intricate designs that sketched out mysterious shapes. Even after enduring over a hundred years, they showed no signs of decay, possessing an indescribable historical aura.
"Thank you."
After receiving the books, Chen Lun adjusted his hat and thanked.
Following that, Hugo cheerfully handed a polyhedral crystal ball to Ibrayin, who had chosen this as her reward.
Seeing the joy on the short-haired lady’s face, it was evident she was very satisfied with the item, leaving everyone in high spirits.
"To be honest, collecting Your Majesty Honorino’s ’relic’ has filled me with an urge to explore. I can’t wait to start my research... When I have time, I will certainly invite you both again as guests."
Hugo said apologetically.
"No problem, there is always time in the future."
Ibrayin replied with a faint smile.
"Well then, I shall take my leave."
Chen Lun also timely took off his hat and proposed his farewell.
Once Hugo and Ibrayin nodded in greeting, he smiled and took a step forward, disappearing below the main building of Saint Byron Academy.
Returning to his apartment on the third floor, Chen Lun also eagerly sat at the desk and took out the two Mythical Tomes.
[You have discovered the Mythological Tome "Multilayer Properties of Energy: Destructive Hazards"!]
[You have discovered the Mythological Tome "Biography: Magic Swordsman Geoffrey Byron"!]
Instead of immediately reading these two books, he took out the black book Lucy had picked up, "Criminal Records: Voodoo Sorcerers and Their Former Forbidden Techniques."
’Three Mythical Tomes, plus the collection previously received from Gallio, make four... Hopefully, they will provide enough enlightenment, igniting the firewood of knowledge in my mind...’
Hope sparked in Chen Lun’s eyes.
Rustle!
He took a deep breath and opened the first page of the pale gray tome...
Nightfall turned to the rise of the Sun.
Outside the window, snowflakes sometimes fell, sometimes paused.
Inside the room, time seemed stagnant, with only the faint sound of page-turning breaking the silence... while the external bustle and noise had nothing to do with Chen Lun.
In the "Quantum Reading" mode, Chen Lun’s learning efficiency was astonishingly high. But even so, it still took him two full days and nights to finish reading these three books.
Because he had given instructions not to be disturbed unless necessary, students, though having questions during this period, dared not rashly knock on his door.
Thus, it was Thursday noon.
Chen Lun finally closed the last Mythological Tome.
"Phew..."
He exhaled deeply, quietly leaning back against his chair.
His eyes were full of contemplation, with brilliant glows flashing through them, even coated with a layer of white crystal, showcasing the effects of both "Enlightening Skull" and "Multitasking" in full exertion.
Chen Lun resembling a statue, stood motionless, but his thoughts were swiftly racing.
Thousands of magical books read in the past, combined with previous accumulation, were ignited by the recent four Mythical Tomes... colliding with the Sequence power of his own Path of Destiny, bursting forth unimaginable sparks.
Using a common term in the field of magic, this was known as "Enlightenment"!
’High-level incarnation inscription paths... forbidden techniques of voodoo sorcerers… destructive energy… Magic Swordsman Geoffrey Byron… Carmen’s Notes…’
Suddenly, a streak of lightning flashed through Chen Lun’s mind.
Like the arrival of the Star of Enlightenment, dispersing the fog of knowledge.
Chen Lun’s eyes gradually widened, growing brighter.
Simultaneously, a panel popped up with the corresponding prompts—
[Through prolonged study and contemplation, you have comprehended the ultimate skill "Four Faces of Destiny"!]
[Four Faces of Destiny LV1]
Skill Description: After spending a long time studying, reading, memorizing, and understanding vast amounts of magical knowledge, and being enlightened by several rare and precious Mythological Tomes, you have come to view destiny from multiple perspectives.
Through the effects of "Multitasking" and "Enlightening Skull," you attempted to separate your personality and power, integrating them into an "Extracorporeal Incarnation," creating this unique and terrifying ability.
Skill Effect: You have mastered the ability to divide your own power into four parts, thereby enhancing the carrying capacity and uniqueness of the incarnations. Depending on the different incarnations, you chose to distinguish them based on the card suits symbolizing destiny—
Diamonds, War Knight, Flun, symbolizing your swordsmanship.
Clubs, Plague Knight, Boccaccio, symbolizing your magic.
Hearts, Famine Knight, Dante, symbolizing your life.
Spades, Death Knight, Qiaoke, symbolizing your destruction.
