CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 320: DISTORTIONS IN REALITY

"The Divine Descent Ceremony of the ’Deceiving Apostle’ is progressing much faster than anticipated."

"You feel an urgent need within your heart,"

"The turmoil in ’Asgard’ this time is related to your ceremony of ascending to ’Angel’ status. It’s of great importance, and you must give your all."

"You first utilized the ’miracle’ authority of the God of Victory, burning good luck, and then used the ’undefeated’ authority to keep your ’good luck’ at a constant level, without decline."

"Subsequently, you employed the ability of the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ to enter a Hidden State."

"Gazing at the illusory and twisted God’s Fortress, devoid of any holiness and resembling a demonic city, you sighed... This is the Divine Descent Ceremony of the ’Deception Lord,’ intertwined with the schemes of the ’King of Nature.’ It has reached the Pillar Level, and the effects of the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ might not be as effective at this level as before."

"You composed yourself and stepped towards ’Asgard’ before you."

"You entered this ’God’s Fortress.’

"You see that the residents, once full of sanctity, have now all twisted and mutated into hideous monsters. Everywhere you look, they bear this form. Their expressions are numb, as if they have lost their souls, merely revering the descent of the ’Deception Lord’ in a daze."

"Is this the pollution brought by the ’Deception Lord’s’ Divine Descent Ceremony?"

"These residents, who once worshipped the ’nine ancient gods,’ have now become part of the ceremony, serving as sacrifices for the descent of the ’Deception Lord.’

"Your heart is greatly shaken, and you think of Dark Mist Town."

"As a superior town to the Fire Stealing Village, there were countless Transcendents, leaders of five major cults, and blessings of divine light from the ’God’s Fortress.’ All of this made you once believe that Dark Mist Town would stand long in the wilderness where the unknown coexists with terror,

"Yet the outcome was unexpected,"

"A horrific storm destroyed Dark Mist Town, and everyone was polluted. Even the leaders of the five major cults were stitched together, becoming indescribable monsters."

"The current scene in ’Asgard’ is so similar to the past Dark Mist Town."

"This made you once again realize the eeriness and terror of the ’Old Earth,’ that even a God’s Fortress where the ancient gods reside is not absolutely safe, always at risk of downfall."

"Upon this thought, your vigilance peaks, and you quickly reel in your scattered thoughts."

"You are prepared to continue forward,"

"Right then, an invisible but eerie aura, like a worm, attempts to burrow into you, polluting your soul and twisting your flesh."

"This is the pollution from the ’Deception Lord’s’ Divine Descent Ceremony.

"Your heart tightens, ready to use the [Residual Ring of the King of Truth] to resist this erosive aura, even though it will inevitably cause a commotion, exposing yourself.

"Just as you were about to act, a mysterious symbol suddenly emerged, originating from the [Hidden Wizard King’s Notebook].

"You felt the invisible and terrifying strange aura that was corroding towards you losing its target, chaotically rushing around, and eventually dissipating completely.

"A slight smile appeared at the corner of your mouth as you whispered... Thank you.

"In a daze, you saw ’Itas’ nodding.

...

Indeed, concerning the ’Deception Lord’s’ Divine Descent Ceremony, it’s very difficult to completely hide oneself with the power of the [Dream Hidden World Clothes]. Luckily, the game character and Itas achieved a certain level of tacit understanding, even though the ’Hidden Wizard King’ has fallen. But before a new Pillar Level representing ’Hidden’ is born, He can still exercise the authority He held in life.

Yang Qizhou pondered, even suspecting that ’Itas’ did not truly fall.

"Is there any new movement from the ’Deceiving Apostle,’ the process of the ’Divine Descent Ceremony’..." Yang Qizhou casually asked, having taken Mr. Death out of the ’Deceit Prison’ because his game character is a servant of the ’Deceiving Apostle,’ a part of the Divine Descent Ceremony, and can know the relevant process at any time and place.

But before he could finish his sentence, Yang Qizhou’s voice abruptly stopped.

’Mr. Death’ retained his erudite demeanor, wearing rimmed glasses, his delicate face exuding an elegance that made it hard to imagine he is the founder of a sinister hidden organization. Yet at this moment, his body had completely transformed, his flesh twisted, multiple boils emerged on the surface of his skin, and faintly, worms with mysterious symbols could be seen crawling chaotically inside his body.

It was clear that ’Mr. Death’ was also afflicted by the pollution from the Deception Lord’s Divine Descent Ceremony.

At this moment, he hadn’t yet realized his distorted change and, using a boil-covered and unrecognizable hand, adjusted his round-rimmed glasses, and inquired confusedly, "’Lamp Holder,’ sir, are you referring to inquiring about the process of the ’Divine Descent Ceremony’?"

Yang Qizhou took a deep breath and gravely said:

"Let’s put this matter aside for now, ’Mr. Death,’ haven’t you noticed the change in yourself?"

"A change in myself?"

’Mr. Death’ was first startled, immediately checking his condition, only to find nothing amiss, then looked up rebelliously, "No, my body is just fine."

Could it be that it’s not ’Mr. Death’ who is polluted, but that something has happened to myself?

’Itas’ has not completely isolated the pollution of the ’Deception Lord’s’ Divine Descent Ceremony, my game character is still being eroded, and through the interface of the game and reality, it is affecting myself?
