Don't worry about your companions, they've just gone somewhere else. "
The Oracle seemed to have noticed his confusion and took the initiative to explain.
"Somewhere … else?"
"That's right, this is also one of my powers. Creating illusions and inducing illusions can make the consciousness unknowingly walk towards destruction," Epsilon explained. Epsilon explained. "Of course, I didn't really do that. I only made them take one or two wrong paths. Right now, from their point of view, they're probably fighting with you against the powerful Fallen Evils. "
"Are you trying to tell me that they're actually very safe?"
She nodded her head. "Not only that, I've already arranged a happy ending for your companions. The Fallen Evils and the Oracle will eventually be defeated, and the phenomenon and Erosion will disappear. They'll be exhausted from the battle, but at least they'll be able to smile and lean against the corner of the wall, enjoying the joy of victory. "
Waving her fists and legs at an empty room until she exhausted all her energy and lay down with a smile — When this scene appeared in Roland's mind, he felt the hair on his back stand up.
He wasn't sure about the others, but he knew Fei Yuhan and Valkries very well. Not only were they strong-willed, they were also very sensitive. He never expected that they wouldn't be able to put up any resistance against Epsilon's powers.
No … Not to mention the two of them, even he didn't sense it — something was wrong. According to his past experience, the Oracle's powers should be ineffective against him.
Thinking of this, Roland's vigilance was immediately raised to the maximum.
"And then?"
"There won't be then. The entire world will come to an end, be it the Realm of Mind or the Realm of Mind, everything will start anew. But compared to reality, at least they'll disappear in joy and won't feel any pain. This is my benevolence — "
Without waiting for the Oracle to finish, Roland moved.
He leaped up and crossed the nearly twenty-meter gap between the platform and the passageway. He pounced at the Oracle and punched out with his fist! He had tested this move many times before when the enemy was talking incessantly to suddenly attack!
The surging power in his body responded to his will. With a loud bang, a shockwave swept across the platform. The guardrails, operating instruments, and mechanical arms on the platform cracked. They tumbled and fell to the bottom of the storage room, making a series of muffled sounds.
Even Roland was shocked by the power of this attack.
He only knew that absorbing those Mana Cores would strengthen his body, but he didn't expect that his body would reach this level without him knowing.
However, there was no sensation in front of his fist.
Epsilon seemed to dissipate like a bubble and reappeared behind him.
"How does it feel to become stronger? The gift I sent you for our first meeting should be quite useful, right? "
Roland was stunned at first, but he quickly realized the true meaning behind her words.
"Wait, that astrolabe — did you send it?"
He had once asked the Association to investigate the source of the mail, but in the end, he had found nothing. Both the identity system and the surveillance showed that the sender had only existed for a moment. No matter how they investigated, it was as if the sender had disappeared. Now that he thought of Epsilon's powers, everything made sense.
"Its name is Gamma, and it's also an Oracle."
Epsilon said calmly, as though she wasn't discussing her accomplice, but something completely unrelated.
Roland was shocked for the first time. After confirming that he didn't hear wrongly, he asked in disbelief, "… Why?"
"Because I want to know the answer, an answer that only God knows." Her voice sounded a little dazed. "Do you understand now? I have no enmity towards you. If you want to head to the Celestial domain, you need the help of the Dream World. On this goal, we are at least the same. "
The change was too sudden, and Roland was momentarily at a loss for words.
"You don't believe me? The world won't lie to you. " Epsilon spread out her hands. "I didn't summon a rift like Delta to isolate your connection with the world, but you still failed to see through my illusion. That is the evidence. It's because I have no enmity that the Dream World doesn't have the ability to repel me. "
"… You're actually from Lan's side?"
This was the only possibility that Roland could think of. After all, Lan had said that there was more than one Oracle who had betrayed him.
"I don't know how she explained it to you, so I can't answer this question accurately." Epsilon extended two fingers. "If you're asking if I'm on the same side as her, then the answer is' no. ' Before coming here, I didn't have any memories of Lan. I even killed her with my own hands in the Prism City. "
Roland couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.
"Or perhaps you're asking if she and I have a common goal." She lowered a finger. "The answer is similarly 'no.' I'm doing this because of my own thoughts, and it has nothing to do with her. You can think of it as me helping you. "
"Helping me means destroying this world?" Roland sneered.
"You're wrong. The one destroying the world isn't me, but God." Epsilon shook her head. "To prevent you from misunderstanding, I'll be straightforward. You should have noticed the changes outside. The barrier that covers the sky can temporarily stop the expansion of the Dream World, preventing it from touching the Divine Domain too early. If not, even if the Oracle is still around, God will not hesitate to destroy everything that has been accumulated to date. In fact, you have recently absorbed too many magic power cores, and you are only a hair's breadth away from the boundary. If I'm not wrong, Lan was supposed to monitor the expansion of your Dream World, but she died by my hands. That's why no one told you how to reach the Origin of Magic at the same time. "
She even knows this!
"But this barrier also prevents me from contacting the outside world. Don't tell me you can control the real world?"
"I can't. But at least I know that you have already opened up the path to the Bottomless Land. What happens next is only a matter of time, "Epsilon said slowly. "You should be able to guess how I obtain information. That's right, the content of your conversation with the Martialist Association and the Graycastle Design Bureau will be submitted to headquarters in the form of a report, which is in my hands."
And the content includes the Glory of the Sun project, as well as the feedback on the usage of various weapons … Roland was enlightened. Epsilon was using these fragments to piece together the entire picture of the outside world.
"Have you never considered that my unconsciousness might cause an accident?"
"This is also one of the unknown factors, but I don't have a better solution. Only when you enter the Realm of Mind will the world be activated, so it will definitely trap you within," Epsilon answered patiently. "Fortunately, you and I don't have to wait here all the time. After the connection is cut off, the domain can automatically adjust the flow of time. As long as you are willing, it won't be a problem for a day to pass in the blink of an eye."
Roland immediately widened his eyes, not daring to close them for a moment. He was afraid that by the time he woke up again, centuries would have passed in the outside world.
"Don't worry, what you are worried about won't happen." The corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a smile for the first time. "The barrier needs magic power to maintain. Even if all the cores stored here are depleted, it will only take a month and a half in the outside world's time … And that is the final deadline."
