141. Roland: I am humanity's final trial!?
When Sue, Ling, and Carmen left Roland's office, all three of them were stunned.
...A god-like group!?
Although they had already thought that anti-entropy was somewhat special, they never expected it to be this special!
So... we fought against the Honkai, and then suddenly we became gods!?
Although they all knew very well that Roland, no matter how bored he was, would never play such a trick on them, it was still true that it didn't feel real.
However, Rolando doesn't need to say anything about this.
After Su left Roland's place, she went to find Kevin. Kevin happened to be out for dinner, so he took Su to eat noodles and answered any questions Su might have.
Rin has Sakura on her side, and Carmen also knows Alicia and the members of the Herrscher team.
There won't be any problems.
After watching them leave, Roland opened the [God Group System] page.
The number of members has officially reached 40, and the center bonus has been upgraded to Lv9 (upgraded to 50 members).
Yes, this time it's not the 45 people Roland expected to upgrade; the span is much longer!
"The increase in the span represents the completion of a stage, and it also probably means that my control over the simulated star creation map has become very high."
"The first major leap in growth involved not adding new features; this time, the requirements for core enhancements have increased..."
Roland muttered to himself, then turned his attention to skill enhancement.
"I was wondering before, even though the center bonus was only upgraded to Lv9, why did I have a feeling that after upgrading this level I could raise the skill to +10? I thought it was going to unlock some new feature - I see, it's just a stage upgrade."
When Roland emerged from the Sea of Life, his mind was filled with thoughts of the second qualitative change that would occur after he upgraded the Dragon's Relic to +10.
But when he returned to his office and calmed down, he realized what had happened.
If his cheat is indeed a system, then this is very unusual—after all, he's not someone who gets easily carried away.
However, his [God Group System] is a manifestation of his simulated star map, which is his ability. Therefore, the previous situation probably indicates that at this stage, his control over the simulated star map has reached a new level.
The first stage of his control over the simulated star chart was the continuous activation of new functions by the [God Group System], which was materialized from the simulated star chart, until all functions were activated and no new functions were activated—this part marked the end of the first stage.
His control over the second stage of the simulated star chart came when he dreamt of the shadow puppet judging the six kings, realized the special significance of the shadow to him, and began to gain enhancement points. He even learned that he was in the simulated star chart stage. Then, when he was about to upgrade his skills to +10, which was the second qualitative change, he had a premonition and announced the end of the second stage.
Then Roland's vague premonition ability was upgraded.
He is now beginning to have very specific premonitions about the future development of the simulation innovation diagram.
This premonition was so real that even if he wasn't paying attention, he would incorporate it into his plans.
But this is not surprising, since his simulated star map is something that has already been completed. He is just taking control of it step by step, and these abilities are things he originally possessed but could not control, so they are naturally incredibly realistic.
And Roland also began to feel it, but when he completed this stage, that was when he learned the true name of the simulated star map and truly mastered it!
call--
Thinking of this, Roland breathed a sigh of relief.
"The closer you get, the less you should rush. Making judgments when you lose your composure often leads to regret..."
After realizing this, Roland adjusted his state of mind and separated this incredibly real premonition from his normal judgment, preventing it from influencing his decision.
After finishing this task, Roland began to add points.
His previous prediction was that he would enhance Gravity Manipulation by one point and Dragon's Remnant by two points.
That's exactly what he did.
There's not much to say about gravity manipulation. Even after being upgraded to +9, it's only one step away from the second qualitative change, but its essence remains the same.
After all, just as Roland knew when he first acquired this ability, gravity manipulation is an incredibly simple and brutal ability; all it takes is enough force to make bricks fly.
Therefore, the second qualitative change is estimated to be another increase in output.
The upper limit changes from small black holes to large black holes, and so on.
The Dragon's Remnant, however, truly completed its second qualitative transformation.
When this skill underwent its second qualitative change, Roland truly understood why a skill with a level of 0 was an indicator of the second stage—because 0 was the maximum level.
At least for him, who hasn't fully mastered the simulated star map yet, the skill can only be upgraded to +10 at this stage.
Therefore, +10 is the second qualitative change, not a doubling of the first +7, which is +14.
Therefore, the +10 bonus will only be unlocked directly when the center bonus is raised to Lv9.
Because this is the limit!
This time, Roland didn't move the shadow to the wall. Instead, he merged the shadow puppet with himself, set up a barrier, and then activated the Dragon's Shadow directly!
Roland's head sprouted dragon features, transforming into a dragon's head. Two heads surrounding Roland's head emerged like shoulder armor, the banner behind him fluttered like a cloak, dragon scales resembled armor, and dragon claws covered Roland's hands and feet!
Unlike Vortigern's dragon form, Roland in this state resembled a warrior clad in special full-body armor...
There are still many differences between this and the Azdakha in Roland's memory.
This is also the fundamental reason why Roland even guessed that his simulated star map was Avesta, but did not directly kill his dragon's remnant after the qualitative change, which is now turning into Azdakha.
But now this qualitative change is complete.
Therefore, Roland can be confirmed.
"Although I have never seen Azdaqah in person, if you compress the continental plates to the size of a human, then this is probably what it looks like."
And
After transforming into this form, Roland could clearly sense something else besides these physical attributes.
He couldn't say whether it was a spiritual essence or something else...
If I had to describe it—his level 3.6 seems to have become humanity's ultimate trial!
Thinking of this, Roland exited the fusion state, then frowned and pondered as he reflected on his current state.
Merging with the shadow of the three-headed dragon may be the trigger for activation—but it is definitely not the main reason!
Firstly, this kind of thing shouldn't be carried by a shadow.
Secondly, even if the shadow can be carried, the final trial for humanity is the three-headed dragon, not oneself. Therefore, after unraveling the shadow fusion, there is no reason for oneself to still be the final trial for humanity.
The answer to the question is then quite obvious...
"I myself am nothing special. If I were to say I am special, it would probably be that I can bear this simulated star creation map. In other words, I, who carry this simulated star creation map, am humanity's final trial!"
so...
"What is the real name of this simulated star map?"
....
142. The final battle has begun!
The final trial of humanity brought Roland a lot of meaning, but the real boost was nothing special – it meant that races other than humans could not completely destroy Roland. Even if they were stronger than Roland after understanding its true nature, they would only choose to seal it if they had no other choice.
It's like a get-out-of-jail-free card.
However, the ultimate trial for humanity is clearly of greater significance.
After all, not everyone can become humanity's ultimate test.
This made Roland even more curious about his simulated star map.
Known, existing, sizable, closely related to shadows, and even capable of becoming humanity's ultimate trial?
Roland felt he already had a lot of relevant information, but he still couldn't guess what his simulated star-creating map was.
He has really thought about this a lot.
You're talking about the Land of Shadows or something... it's not large enough, and it doesn't quite fit the bill. It would be very difficult for it to become humanity's final trial...
After all, their simulated star map includes things like the celestial equator and three thousand worlds. Compared to that, your Land of Shadows is... well...
And other similar questions are also likely to come to mind.
So even Roland couldn't figure it out for the time being.
After thinking about it for a while, he simply gave up.
After much deliberation, he concluded that the key to the problem lay in the close relationship between his simulated star map and his shadow.
But it's precisely because he can't figure this out that he can't understand it.
Because he didn't even know what the shadow represented in his simulated star map worldview, or what the shadow itself was.
There's nothing we can do about it.
While Roland couldn't figure that out, he had already decided which skills he would use to enhance with the enhancement points he acquired.
"I've already maxed out Gravity Manipulation to +9. Next time I have more upgrade points, I'll give Gravity Manipulation a second qualitative leap."
As for any further enhancement points... Roland plans to enhance the four shadow familiars: Shadow Puppet, Shadow Wolf, Shadow Warrior, and Shadow Mage.
After all, the Dragon's Relic will become a three-headed dragon after its second transformation, so what will these four Shadow Familiars become after their second transformation?
Roland, the three-headed dragon, had no clue, but if these four could provide some more information, perhaps the problem could be gradually solved.
