Chapter 543 -7 Ben’s Transformation, The Power of My Contemplation

In the Secret Realm, Richard stood in front of the operating table, placing a quivering, fresh heart into Ben’s chest.

After a month of learning and research, Richard had gained enough understanding of the Goblin race, and the transformation surgery for Ben was naturally scheduled.

Richard approached the transformation of his first believer in this world with great diligence.

Under the cultivation of mayfly essence diluted a thousandfold, Ben’s body broke through Level 1 Creatures on the seventh day after entering the Secret Realm. However, because the breakthrough occurred in the Secret Realm, Ben had not undergone the World Origin’s authentication.

After the transformation was complete, he would still need to reconnect with the World Origin to stamp his identity. Otherwise, there would be no difference between him and Richard in the recognition of the world.

Once having become a Level 1 Creature, the Goblin race’s characteristics began to manifest.

After his body developed for the second time upon becoming a Level 1 Creature, Ben was now about one meter sixty in height. Next was his astonishing Life Energy.

In Richard’s tests, Ben’s body had a remarkably high recovery rate for some basic external injuries. For some shallower wounds, the cut would start healing before Richard’s scalpel even left Ben’s body.

A robust Life Energy was a good thing for the transformation, as many times, transformation surgeries did not go smoothly, and a strong Life Energy could significantly increase the survival rate of the patient.

After completing the connection of the heart to the surrounding blood vessels, Richard used mycelium from the World Mushroom to suture the wound, and then casually waved the World Tree Staff to release a Healing Technique.

Stimulated by the Life Energy, Ben’s wounds healed quickly, and he awoke from the anesthesia.

Upon awakening, Ben looked around the environment with a somewhat puzzled and overwhelmed gaze. The effects of the anesthetic had passed, but Ben’s body had not yet adapted.

But when Ben’s gaze shifted to Richard, he suddenly shuddered and immediately tried to kneel to the ground.

Richard lifted a finger, and an invisible force held Ben’s body up.

“There’s no need for such formalities, get used to your body first.”

Ben stood up straight, his face radiant with fervor. He examined his body and said in surprise, “Have I become a Noble?”

“Don’t be silly, lucky boy.”

A voice came from behind Ben, and when he turned around, he saw a Goblin with mechanical arms for limbs and wearing the golden helmet of the Master of All Machines Church watching him.

“You are…?”

Years of life had instilled in Ben an instinctive respect for this attire of the Goblin, completely forgetting for a moment that he was now a heretic. The Goblin’s answer made him shiver violently.

“I am Osiris, the regional lord of Bruno City.”

At that moment, Ben suddenly realized that he was now indeed a heretic. After shivering, his eyes became fierce, and the muscles on his body unconsciously swelled, filled with a formidable strength.

“What a remarkable transformation,” Osiris observed the changing Ben and exclaimed sincerely.

“Ben, stop.” Ulysses, wrapped in Holy Light, flew to Ben’s side, “Bishop Osiris has converted, he is now your brother.”

Converted? Brother?

Ben was somewhat baffled by Ulysses’ statement, and the swollen muscles on his body returned to normal.

“Master Crow, are you saying Bishop Osiris has converted to our Lord?”

“Of course,” Ulysses declared confidently, “Bishop Osiris has seen through that phony guise and has now converted to the true path.”

Listening to Ulysses’ introduction, the expression beneath Osiris’s helmet twitched uncontrollably.

Although he had already recognized that the so-called Master of All Machines was merely a Level 4 Creature, years of belief had become ingrained within him.

Ulysses’ calling the Master of All Machines a phony felt intrinsically awkward to him.

Osiris didn’t take long to flip, to be precise, it happened just three days before.

Once Richard learned the Goblin language, he immediately began to communicate with Osiris.

Richard wanted to get some intelligence on the Master of All Machines Church from this Goblin, because Soul Searching was a gamble; he did not know whether he would extract secrets of the Master of All Machines Church or memories of Osiris going to the bathroom.

Osiris also wanted to know the purpose of this strange noble in front of him.

With different motives, the two had a conversation that lasted six hours.

Through the exchange, Osiris was deeply shocked by Richard’s erudition. He was astonished that this creature, who looked like a noble, was so knowledgeable about machinery and possessed even more advanced technology.

Richard was also surprised that he had casually caught such a Big Shot.

Osiris’s status was anything but ordinary; the regional lord was merely where he had gilded his career. In a couple of years, he would advance from a regional bishop to a regional lord.

By then, there would only be two levels above him, one being the Red Cardinal where his teacher resided, and the other being the Pope.

Therefore, Osiris knew a lot that common priests did not, such as a branch of the Master of All Machines Church that believed the world was not unique and beyond this world lay other worlds.

After the exchange, Osiris was convinced by Richard’s scholarship and confirmed his identity from beyond this world. And Richard’s classification of biological levels had opened up a door to a New World for him.

The Master of All Machines was just a lucky individual chosen by the world.

So, he decisively flipped.

In Osiris’s life, there had been many such choices. Each one capable of altering his destiny.

In this series of choices, Osiris had made all the right ones. Thus, he went from being the son of a lowly slave worker to becoming the sole student of Tai’er, the Red Cardinal.

And this time, he had made a decision that would affect the rest of his life.

…

“Glory to the Main God!” Ben said excitedly, bowing his head to Ulysses.

“Enough small talk,” Richard walked over to Ben, “Get used to the body and see how effective the transformation is. This one cost me a lot… It drained a lot of my Divine Power.”

Although Richard did not enjoy posing as a holy man, he had to take his role as a Prophet seriously in order to make a breakthrough.

Ben’s transformation was highly complex. First, Richard conducted a blood fusion, merging the bloodlines of the Wild Beastmen and Ben’s Goblin heritage to ensure that Ben could use the martial arts of the Wild Beastmen. Then Richard implanted multiple auxiliary organs in Ben’s body. Some of these organs were designed to enhance his physique, some to increase strength, others to improve the resilience of his bones… In short, Richard implanted all the auxiliary organs he felt would be useful into Ben’s body.

The last and most important modification involved Richard using Enhanced Cells from before his transcendence to cult status, to cultivate a heart. He replaced Ben’s original heart with this new one.

Ben moved his body in response, his arms swinging with the sound of rushing wind.

Richard found a target for Ben to punch to test his strength. As instructed, Ben punched the target forcefully.

[Attack Type: Physical blunt impact]

[Attack Strength: 1400 Energy Level]

“Huh!?”

Richard was taken aback by the reading. He glanced at Ben, who was still moving around, then back at the target data.

“The target must be broken. How can it be that high?”

According to Richard’s estimates, Ben should have been able to produce an attack in the range of 800 to 1000 Energy Levels without training, at most 1200 Energy Levels. But the target data far exceeded his expectations.

Richard did not believe he had made a miscalculation.

After checking the target again, Richard found no fault with it. Somewhat puzzled, he said to Ben, “Ben, try once more.”

“Yes, Master Sage.”

Ben threw another punch, which Richard observed closely with his spiritual power to confirm that Ben did not employ any technique.

And yet, the target still displayed 1400 Energy Levels.

“Weird, truly weird. Ulysses, come take a look.”

Upon hearing Richard’s call, Ulysses, who was writing teachings, put down his feather pen and flew onto Richard’s shoulder.

“Ben, hit it one more time.”

“Master Sage, is there a problem?” Ben asked, confused.

“No problem, it’s just that testing is like this; you need multiple tests to find the upper and lower limits.”

“Oh, indeed.”

Ben punched yet again, and the force of this punch was even higher than before, reaching a full 1500 Energy Levels.

In a Spiritual Message conversation with Ulysses, Richard asked, “Ulysses, do you see anything?”

A faint light vanished from Ulysses’ eyes, his tone carrying a hint of awe.

“Goodness, Richard, you’ve struck gold here. This lad can unconsciously harness Miracle Power to enhance himself!”

Miracle Power?

Upon hearing this term, Richard was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recalled what the so-called Miracle Power was.

“You mean, he can tap into that Power of Mystery?”

The Power of Mystery is what Curse Wizards tap into when casting certain Curse Witchcraft—a form of energy that, according to studies from the Gods Civilization, seems to be the remnants left in the Star Realm by Level 9 Creatures upon transcension.

By tapping into the Power of Mystery, Curse Wizards can cast witchcraft that completely defies the laws of reality and logic, such as the Eternal Transformation Technique, which can turn a Giant Dragon into a rabbit.

“Yes, that very power,” Ulysses nodded slightly, “However, I wouldn’t advise telling the lad. I’ve seen races that can wield Miracle Power before, and their strength is very idealistic.

If they can firm their beliefs, then they can perform feats far beyond their current strength with the help of Miracle Power. But if they fall into self-doubt, the Power of Mystery could shackle them instead, limiting their ability to exert even a third of their strength.”

Richard nodded thoughtfully, having preempted Ulysses’s advice. There were similar witchcraft in the Curse School, such as the Bear Power Skill, which Ali had told him about, that basically involves a ritual convincing oneself of possessing the strength of a giant bear and then using the Power of Mystery to amplify it.

Therefore, Curse School wizards were all somewhat versed in self-hypnosis witchcraft.

Now, Richard was contemplating one question: where did this Talent come from?

In his studies of the Goblins, there had never been a discovery of this sort.

Richard murmured to himself, “Is this the true Talent of the Wild Beastmen? No wonder there are so many examples of diligence compensating for lack of natural ability.”
