Chapter 237 In the Illusion
"How is it possible... that the exploration team didn't even leave the bottom of the abyss from the beginning..."
Looking at Bai Hao's shocked expression, Olmia sighed softly, then took Bai Hao's hand and walked to the window.
"crash"
As the curtains were drawn open by Olmia, a soft moonlight fell from the clouds into the room, and the silvery-white moonlight instantly enveloped the two of them.
For Bai Hao, who was the incarnation of the Moon God, and Olmia of the Bright Moon Goddess sect, bathing in the moonlight should have been an extremely enjoyable thing, but the two could only feel the extremely cold wind outside the window.
Just by doing this, Olmia revealed to Bai Hao the biggest anomaly of this "world". There was no place more fake than the moon.
Bai Hao suddenly realized: "So the heartbeat and chewing sounds I heard were because I was still at the bottom of the abyss..."
"I'm wondering why those weird ghost vines didn't attack us when we left the lower layer of the abyss, why those greedy noble scholars in the upper layer of the abyss disappeared, why the Kled Territory was so cold in the middle of summer, why..."
Then Bai Hao looked at Olmia and said in a deep voice: "So in this fake world, except for the dozens of people in the exploration team, everyone else is fake?"
"It's just a mapping of the memories in all of our brains. But if you go and talk to the person you are most familiar with now, you will probably notice something unusual very quickly!"
Bai Hao recalled the guards who had followed him all the way here. Although their words and actions were very normal, there was indeed a lack of agility in their speech, and they were more like AI running according to some program.
In comparison, Michelle and Yura seem much more real, they are full of emotions and flesh and blood, and they are also members of the exploration team.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Hao exclaimed, "So it was the one heart and two souls that allowed you to wake up in the first place?"
Olmia nodded and said, "It seems that the collective illusion of the evil god under the abyss is aimed at the soul, and my sister Olmia fell into a coma instead of me, and thus entered this false world!"
"At that time, when you boarded the fire sculpture and prepared to leave the bottom of the abyss, a scarlet light lit up from the bank of the underground river, and then everyone in the exploration team, including me, fainted!"
Olmia looked at the bright moon in the night sky and said solemnly, "Fortunately, I have two souls in this body, so I only lost consciousness for a moment and then woke up, while my sister entered the illusion with the others."
Bai Hao groaned and asked, "That centipede, um, is that evil god still chewing on the souls of the other members of the exploration team?"
"Well, after we all fell unconscious, the evil god immediately revealed himself, but what I saw was an extremely gigantic goat."
"The evil god has a thousand different appearances..."
"Before I entered this illusion, the evil god was chewing on the soul of a third person. Just as you guessed, the evil god's speed in devouring souls is not fast."
Bai Hao sat on the sofa with a look of regret and sighed, "I only guessed this right. I thought I could use the evil god's greed to get the exploration team out of the bottom of the abyss safely..."
Looking at Bai Hao who was beating his chest and stamping his feet, Olmia shook her head and consoled him: "The evil gods actually cannot understand our language. They read our thoughts directly through methods similar to mind reading. Viscount Campbell, you don't know this. It's amazing that you can come up with such a strategy on the spot!"
"So, the moment we reached the bottom of the abyss, we became the evil god's meal. Our inner thoughts are all controlled by it, and every move we make cannot escape its control."
Olmia looked at Bai Hao who seemed to be in despair and couldn't help asking, "Viscount Campbell, can't you release Lord Orivia's miracle? And all the records on the continent show that the miracle of the Lord God is the best way to deal with the evil god! Besides, the true god of my sect is the third Lord God in sequence!"
Bai Hao looked at Olmia's excited body and couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. He knew what Olmia was expecting, but Bai Hao never thought that the low-level magic he transformed through the theory of "the law of transformation of different-level magic spells" could be considered a miracle.
Olmia, no, it should be everyone! The Bright Moon Miracle they believed in should be above the Earth Dragon Beast, and it was the real magic that Orivia cast after descending upon them.
The power of the divine arts that could destroy the heavens and the earth, the mighty attacking divine arts, the summoning divine arts that were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people...
Bai Hao certainly believed that if Olivia descended upon him again, he would be able to easily deal with this evil god.
But unfortunately, when Olivia descended to the earth last time, she had clearly stated that she would not descend to the earth again for a long time.
In front of the evil god who could easily wipe out a great magician-class knight, Bai Hao's so-called low-level divine arts seemed like a joke, and he was still in the illusion created by him.
Bai Hao subconsciously clenched his hands, gently circulated his own sub-divine power, and felt the sub-divine power slowly flowing in his body.
All of this was too real, whether it was the coolness brought by the evening breeze on his skin, or the feeling of the semi-divine power circulating in his body. If Olmya hadn't told him directly that he was in an illusion, Bai Hao might have needed a few more days to realize it.
Bai Hao looked at Olmia who was looking forward to it and shook his head gently: "Mia, the true miracle of the Bright Moon Goddess is not something I can perform at will!"
"Besides, I don't even have a clue how to leave this illusion now!"
……
In the real northern suburbs of Kled Territory, Kalia rolled around on Bai Hao's bed, muttering to herself: "Let's roll around one last time and then go to sleep! The last time! This way, I should be able to fully enjoy Brother Bai Hao's flavor..."
Kalia wrapped herself in Bai Hao's sheets and rolled around on the soft big bed for a long time, and then suddenly found a piece of thin clothing from the crack of the bed.
"Hmm, this seems to be part of Sister Lili's strange pajamas. How come it is on Brother Baihao's bed..."
Suddenly, the mole on Kalia's chest that stored divine power emitted a scarlet light, something Kalia had never seen before.
Just as Kalia wanted to lift up her shirt to take a closer look, her originally curious expression suddenly became extremely indifferent. At the same time, Kalia put the half-removed shirt back on, and then stood up slowly.
Kalia looked towards the abyss and sighed, "Alas, why is there so much trouble with Olivia's coming? I should have never agreed to protect that kid."
Recalling the previous meeting in the Divine Court, Orivia readily promised that she would honestly stay in the Northern Void for nine years and clear out demons with the God of War.
But before leaving, Olivia pestered me to protect her next life, otherwise she would not go no matter what. I couldn't overcome Olivia's stubbornness, so I had no choice but to agree.
I originally thought that it was just the incarnation of a magician, so how much trouble could it have? Nine years is just a blink of an eye for a god. But I never thought that after just a few days I would have to come down to help him out.
"How on earth did a magician like him get involved with an original devil?" Kalia said in an extremely old voice and then disappeared directly in the room.
