Alexa's body, Luke's remaining big head, and other demon mages have been sent to the Northland Alliance headquarters.
Among them, Luke's consciousness is very closely integrated with the demon body, and his will to resist is extremely strong. After Xia Duo tried several times, the copies of his consciousness collected were very incomplete, almost full of all kinds of meaningless abuse, clamor, and provocation.
It's difficult to parse out any useful information.
As for the other demon mages, due to the limited number of consciousness cages, Sha Duo simply gave up and turned to focus on Alexa, a high mage who was once a close follower of Yin Lisel.
Because Alexa's body is no longer around, and the copies of consciousness collected are limited, Shado cannot use the violent analysis method used on the long-lived family's high mage in the projection plane.
Instead, the main purpose is to obtain information by deception, and violent analysis can only be used as a last resort.
…
In the cage of consciousness.
Sha Duo projected here again, creating a tense atmosphere as soon as he came, "Alexa, I was sent to rescue you from above, come with me quickly!"
"Haha——" Alexa smiled disdainfully.
Xia Duo was not angry about this, and it could even be said that he had no mood swings, because he had already encountered this kind of reaction from the other party countless times.
——Reset
"Alexa, the superiors are very dissatisfied with you and asked me to kill you!"
"hehe--"
——Reset
"Alexa, there is a new task for you!"
"hehe--"
…
Basically, in order to collect more extensive information about the existence of demons, Shado tried almost every possibility and every word, but Alexa's copy of consciousness seemed to know his purpose in advance and did not reveal it.
any message that exists behind it.
He didn't reveal even the slightest bit of obvious information as to whether the "being behind the demon descendant" existed, acting as if he had planned all of this by himself.
However, this secret hall where demon descendants from many countries gathered was obviously not something that he, a high-ranking mage, could create. There must be a deeper organization.
Based on the information collected only from the main plane, it was basically certain that there was no way to make Alexa succumb, so Shado unsurprisingly "cheated" her.
Some information obtained from the consciousness of the high mage of the Demonic Family in the Projection Plane may be the key to breaking through Alexa's psychological defense.
In the cage of consciousness, Sha Duo projected again. This time he did not pretend to be another identity, or create any special atmosphere. He just appeared in his own image very plainly, and then said what he meant to Alexa.
These are earth-shattering words:
"Your real purpose should be to distort the history of reality, so that the reality becomes the possibility of another type of demon being absolutely dominant!"
"Who are you?!"
Alexa's expression suddenly changed. No one would take it calmly if the deepest secret in their heart was exposed. "You are also a demon? Why do you want to betray?"
"Do you think I am betraying? What are you betraying? The country I belong to? Or the people I belong to? Or what do you think are the demons who want to subvert reality?"
"No, you are not a demon! Who are you? Who exactly are you?"
Seeing Alexa falling into repeated questioning whether it was a disguise or a real madness, Shado sighed and canceled the projection.
When he returned to the outside world, he did not continue to reset the temptation, but fell into deep anxiety.
Although Alexa did not admit anything directly just now, it is obvious that there is indeed some mysterious force behind the demon and is trying to subvert reality.
It is very likely that they are demons from another timeline where demons unified the main plane!
This has brought great psychological pressure to Xia Duo. Things such as timelines and parallel time and space cannot be verified for the time being. Perhaps the demons who have unified the main plane are still an illusory existence to him at this moment.
But the influence of those illusory existences on the main plane is real!
Xia Duo doesn't want to and is unable to investigate the real reasons behind all this for the time being, but he cannot help but face this real threat.
Looking for a livable plane and then escaping from the main plane is a way to deal with it, but he is not sure how much impact the main plane's timeline will have. If it can affect everything that has existed in the main plane, then even if he runs away
You will still be affected if you go to other dimensions.
And Xia Duo didn't want to escape so passively. He wanted to face the threat of the demon directly, especially when he had the ability to threaten the opponent.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Xia Duo re-projected himself into the consciousness cage.
"Alexa, I know you want to fix certain historical nodes, thereby reversing the timeline of the main plane in one fell swoop, to a state of time and space that you want, but I have a way to stop you!"
"You, who are you?"
Because it had already been reset once, Alexa suddenly heard these words and looked at Sha Duo as if she had seen some kind of indescribable monster. Shock, worry, fear, and countless negative emotions all filled her heart.
But Shado ignored Alexa's reaction and continued: "You should know the power of the floating fortress. Next, I will start from Cormanso and erase the traces of the elves' existence bit by bit, making you think
The specific historical node you want is no longer possible!
"By the way, you demons seem to care about Sluvend very much. Believe me, even if I can't erase Cormanso, Slvend will definitely be able to completely erase them from the main plane - literally.
That kind of—wiping away the land as well.”
Shado spoke very calmly about the cruel plan that seemed to have nothing to do with him, but to Alexa's ears, it was actually the whisper of the devil.
He speculated that Chateau might have some crucial information, which made this threat more real.
"no, you can not--"
Alexa groaned in pain, as if the end had come and everything he cherished and expected would be destroyed.
Because she has personally experienced the power of the floating city, Alexa can better understand how likely this threat is to become a reality. It can be said that even Cormanthor will be difficult to resist unless he uses all his resources.
"who are you?!"
"Who am I? I am one of the countless creatures on the main plane that you ignore, but I just happen to have a little power to fight back!"
Xia Duo said disdainfully.
By this time, Alexa was no longer like the one she had just talked to Suviris in the secret palace, saying that transforming the demons together could eliminate estrangements and prejudices, because Shado already knew the story behind the demons. the truth--
It is by no means a simple replacement of old and new ideas, old and new forces, but a complete destruction of all life in reality to create another possibility that has nothing to do with the current life on the main plane.
"What? Have you got nothing to say? Now it's my turn to ask you, why did you betray me?"
Suveris had asked the same question before when he was in the Secret Palace, but at that time Suveris asked why Alexa betrayed Cormanthor and the elves, but now, what Shado asked was - —
Why betray the main plane.
If you betrayed Cormanthor and the elves, it was because you could transform the devil, but what could Alexa gain by betraying the main plane?
The other timeline has nothing to do with him, and explaining it simply by using parallel time and space demon control will not satisfy Sha Duo.
