With Xiuge's order, the Roots of Destiny, which had been deeply hated by the creatures in the world of Fanen in ancient times, finally got the perfect opportunity to show off their abilities.
The closed theater hall is as pure and uniformly dark as a high-end curtain. The "audience" who is ready to move is scattered around, while the silent "director" and "actor" stand quietly in the center of the venue.
The "setup" begins.
Following Shuge's instructions and thoughts, the strange translucent bodies of the Destiny Roots began to twist rapidly, tearing apart the silent darkness with the power to create large-scale false illusions.
The illusion created by the roots of destiny is never limited to the visual level.
In order to be able to confuse all creatures and turn them into prey that falls into a trap, the illusions of the Destiny Roots have always been directly established in the spiritual realm, that is, by directly confusing the target's spiritual world to create the most realistic illusions.
The commotion began to appear with the formation of the illusion. The descendants of An Abyss who were resting and sleeping woke up one after another. Then, they were keenly aware of the astonishing changes taking place in their lairs - I don't know when, there were countless people.
A small number of "prey" came to this hall. They looked well-armed and menacing.
Without waiting for some of the descendants of the Dark Abyss to react, these heavily armed "prey" began to use cold magic instruments to spray blazing flames at every corner of the lair. In an instant, many of their kind were burned in the flames.
Burned into useless waste.
Under Shuge's "direction", a retaliatory sneak attack launched by the survivors of Salem City against the descendants of Dark Abyss began.
It is not difficult for the Destiny Roots to create an illusion of this scale. With the support of the magical power of cultivation, these intelligent and weird root groups have constructed this special illusion without any flaws. Every detail,
There are corresponding root branches responsible for it, and every survivor phantom that takes action also has a dedicated operator.
False chaos broke out at this moment.
Despite the fact that no individual descendant of the Dark Abyss died in the burning flames of the survivors, as incomplete creations that possessed part of human memory and knowledge but were unable to use them flexibly, the descendants were being pulled into
In this huge hallucination, they lost their most basic ability to judge in an instant, and they did not even notice that there was no spiritual connection or resonance between themselves and those of their kind who were burned to death.
Faced with the provocation of the "prey", the descendants of An Abyss gathered inside the theater hall became angry. They quickly completed their assembly, and sharp fangs and jointed limbs grew out of their sticky amorphous bodies. Just like this
Crush towards the invaders.
The survivors who invaded the lair immediately suffered serious casualties.
According to Shuge's instructions, the Destiny Roots very thoughtfully constructed a miserable scene when the survivors' defenses were torn apart by the descendants. These figures existing in the hallucination were either devoured, or were killed by their companions due to improper operation.
Spraying flames burned him to death.
After the children of An Abyss successfully opened a gap with their counterattack, they made new discoveries.
They noticed that among this group of bold prey, there stood a straight figure holding a cane. At this moment, all the descendants of An Abyss were boiling.
Because of the previous series of head-on conflicts, the image and aura of Shuge have long been remembered by all the descendants of Dark Abyss in Salem City. This is the absolute command and will conveyed by their huge bodies. In their limited but common
Within the spirit and consciousness, Sugar Ernst is definitely the ultimate and highest priority target of the entire group in this closed hunting ground.
Of course, it is also the most dangerous.
Illusions that are both true and false have completely fascinated these seemingly stupid, but very intelligent creatures. Following the orders given by the subject in the past, they quickly split into some individuals, and these individuals quickly made their way to the theater.
They entered the corners and cracks of the hall like running water along the huge cracks in the ground and entered the criss-crossing sewers of Salem City, and successfully passed on the news of "discovering important targets".
At this moment, most of the basic goals of cultivating one's character have been completed.
But he did not choose to leave immediately. After all, with the wisdom possessed by the main body of An Yuan's descendants, it was very likely that it would question Xiuge's actions. He had to make everything appear more real and impeccable.
Therefore, Shuge stood up directly, and of course he launched an attack on the heirs who stayed inside the theater hall. For a moment, Charron's Touch swept out from the darkness beside Shuge and began to attack the surrounding targets.
The ruthless harvest.
At the same time, the illusion created by the roots of destiny is still maintained.
Therefore, the descendants of the Dark Abyss inside the theater saw an extremely real picture - they glimpsed that the prey that dared to raid the group's nest began to retreat after killing a large number of their kind, and as this group of "
Xiuge, the leader of the "prey", chose to take the rear. Just like the memories conveyed and shared by the subject, he summoned countless ferocious tentacles to tear apart his own kind, and used the rich black mist to devour his own power.
Everything is extremely real.
Everything is just right.
And when these extremely true and detailed messages were successfully conveyed to the huge subject hidden underground, all individual descendants of the Dark Abyss in Salem City were summoned by the same will. At this moment, all individual descendants in Salem City were summoned.
Stopping their ongoing actions, they gave up hunting and resting, left their hiding place, and returned to the underground pipes extending in all directions, and began to gather with their own kind. In just a few minutes, the black wave of death
It was formed again.
The mages of the Legal Committee far away in the Iris Street outpost successfully detected the strange magic power fluctuations. They were horrified to find that these chaotic magic powers hidden underground, like mudslides, had completely gathered together, and began to
Move towards the north of Salem City in an orderly manner.
At this moment, the mages finally understood the true meaning of "walking on thin ice".
They even felt that the road beneath their feet was crawling.
Although they felt extremely frightened, they still faithfully performed their duties. After these frightening magic fluctuations had gone away, they immediately sent a magic signal to Iris Street and the direction of the Legal Committee, and after receiving the signal notification
Soon after, the first batch of survivors who were ready to move to the southern city gate immediately embarked on the journey with a large amount of supplies.
…
Shuge still did not choose to evacuate.
The illusion constructed by the Roots of Destiny continues.
At this time, a large number of Dark Abyss descendants had rushed to the abandoned theater. Xiuge was actually surrounded, but he had no intention of leaving.
Naturally, he had to do everything he could to put on a show. Even if the person he was facing was not a human being, Xiuge didn't want to cause unnecessary consequences due to his own deviation. He had to ensure that all the monsters in the city gathered in his direction.
According to the predetermined plan, when Shuge attracted the attention of the descendants of Dark Abyss and caused the survivors on the south side of Salem City to begin to transfer, the mages in the Legal Committee station also needed to speed up the progress of the experiment.
Within six days, they must complete all scheduled verifications and transmit the final results through public magical signals.
In the next evacuation operation, Xiuge has already made sufficient plans. Regardless of whether the experiment is successful or not, whether the mages of the Legal Committee can exert sufficient influence on the consciousness of the descendants of An Yuan, Xiuge will have corresponding plans.
methods to achieve predetermined goals.
Regarding these plans made by Shuge, the will of the Ernst family who had always served as his advisors had an unprecedented consensus.
As the "elders" of Xiuge's theory, both the old general Bernhardt and the Countess Alexandra strongly disagree with the tendency shown by Xiuge in these plans. They believe that,
Xiuge should not take such a big risk for other people, because it would most likely cost him his own life.
But at this point, Xiuge did not leave any room for his advisers to make suggestions.
The constantly surging magic power in his body, as well as the illusions of destiny that Xiuge had glimpsed during this period, made him unswerving about what he would do next and the choices he might make.
In the illusion he spun, the survivors who dared to attack the nest of the descendants of An Abyss had been killed and injured, and Shuge was now the only remnant of these invaders. This false "progress" made the descendants of An Abyss
They became even crazier. Although the main group of them had not yet arrived and the order to "surround" had been issued to them, their strong predatory instincts had been infinitely amplified in the illusion deliberately created by Shuge, so they continued to attack them one after another.
They were rushing in the direction of Xiuge, not even the slightest bit afraid of Xiuge's counterattack.
And this is exactly what Xiuge wants to see.
The forged false illusions began to slowly shrink. As Shuge continued to perform subtle manipulations and adjustments, the roots responsible for creating illusions and confusing the fate of the descendants of Dark Abyss gradually dissipated, and more touches of Charron emerged. They were in
With the support of Xiuge's huge magic power, he began to sweep through this dark and oppressive space. A large number of his descendants were crushed on the spot, but then these fragments immediately merged with their own kind and became new ones.
individual.
Soon, the last cluster of destiny roots was recalled by Shuge, and the illusion created was completely terminated. However, at this moment, the descendants of An Abyss were completely caught up in the fanatical pursuit of the important goal of hunting, and they were not aware of the fact that they were at all.
He noticed the strange flow of magic power around him and didn't notice that the survivors who had been "hunted" by them before were simply useless abandoned wreckage.
"Come on, come on...come to me."
Shuge completely removed the dark abyss magic that had concealed his own aura. At the same time, a large amount of mirror messenger fog climbed onto the joints and blades at the end of Charron's Touch. Just like before, he began to swallow it wantonly.
Eat and absorb the power of the surrounding descendants, and such actions and changes immediately attracted the attention of the main body of An Yuan's descendants.
The ground began to tremble, the magic in the air became violent, and once again, a clear warning signal came from Shuge's spiritual world.
"This warning sign is stronger than before... It seems that while my own magic power is growing, the evolution of these incomplete creations is also continuing, and their progress seems to be faster than mine?"
Xiuge felt the rotation of the huge disk and made a quick judgment in his heart. After a few seconds, he was keenly aware of the approach of an abnormal wave, so a large amount of Charron's touch immediately stopped affecting the surrounding heirs.
With the attack action, they quickly retracted and rolled towards the top of the theater at an astonishing speed, accurately and powerfully hooking the relatively solid sculptures and protrusions, and forcibly taking Xiuge's body off the ground.
At the same time, in the dark theater hall, the ground that was originally covered with bones, wreckage, building debris and all kinds of garbage suddenly began to "bulge".
It looks like a huge bubble that suddenly pops up in the mud, expanding upwards.
With his magic vision, Xiuge could clearly see what was happening below. It was the result of a large amount of dark mucus being squeezed out from various gaps and quickly converging on the ground. When this huge mass appeared
In an instant, all the offspring individuals that had previously fought against Shuge immediately spontaneously gathered into it, so it became even larger, almost filling the entire theater in an instant.
This is a horrific scene that is enough to make any survivor in Salem City collapse mentally.
However, Shuge showed extreme calmness in the face of this rapidly approaching threat. With the help of Charron's Touch, he quickly moved towards a gap above the theater roof and successfully passed through it.
, and Xiuge, who returned to the outside world again, saw the true appearance of this area through the bright light.
He saw countless black shadows gathering from all directions. It seemed that they wanted to turn the entire area into a sea of slime, and the abandoned theater under Shuge's feet became a sea of in this deadly water.
A poor lonely island.
A weird and distorted roar came from under Xiuge's feet. Then, the mucus also forced itself to rely on the support and stacking of countless similar ones to reach the gap where Shuge escaped. They slowly squirmed out, and they were actually directly
Under the sunlight, a human shape with clear outlines was formed.
"We meet again."
The weird sound made up of countless voices twisted together fluently spoke the universal language of Vann.
Xiuge glanced at this weird human form, but did not answer him. His eyes drifted to the sky inadvertently, where there was a faint remaining color of a magic signal.
