Everyone quickly closed their eyes and tried to sense the situation. Soon, they all looked grim.
Sure enough, not only did the illusion nodes in the air not disappear, but they were also increasing. It was as if the illusion nodes that were originally suppressed were now completely released.
"Luna said it sensed Erdus' death," Keely said with a frown. "But why aren't the nodes disappearing?"
"There's only one possibility. The source of the nodes isn't Erdus' heart. It's something else that exists inside Erdus' body," Angor said. If what Keely said was true, Erdus was still able to control the source of the illusion nodes. But as soon as Erdus died, the nodes began to go out of control.
"If we want to leave, we need to find the source of the nodes and destroy it. Otherwise, we'll be trapped here forever," Keely said in a cold voice, which made everyone shiver.
In the end, everyone looked at Angor.
Angor was the only Illusionist in the group, so he was the first one who needed to find the source of the illusion nodes.
"Let me try." Angor knew he couldn't refuse. He wasn't sure if he could do it, but he knew that he would die if he couldn't.
He tried to stand up, but every movement caused him to cough up blood again.
His injuries were too severe. His vision blurred for a moment, and he fell heavily to the ground once again.
Shan quickly cast Heal on Angor's body. A green light enveloped Angor's body and cooled him down. However, he still couldn't get rid of the dizziness.
Keely suddenly took out a single-use space capsule from her pocket, which she looted from Yethew.
Keely crushed the pouch and soon found a bottle of black potion.
"Is this … a sealing potion?" Shan looked at the potion in Keely's hand.
Keely nodded and looked at Angor. "Here's a bottle of sealing potion. Once you take it, it will seal all non-fatal injuries inside your body. You won't feel any negative effects such as pain, fainting, etc. The effect will last for one day. However, its side effects are very strong. After a day, once the effects of the medicine disappear, your injuries may worsen. Do you want to use it? "
Angor had heard of this potion before. It was a self-harming potion that forced the user to release certain painkillers.
He had no other choice. His head was dizzy, and he almost fainted. Time was running out. If he wanted to escape, he could not fall down here.
"Alright!" He nodded without hesitation.
Keely quickly opened the bottle and poured the dark liquid into Angor's mouth. He felt nauseous for a moment. When the nausea faded away, he could no longer feel any injuries. It was as if he had been reborn. His body was full of strength, and his spirit was at its best.
"After drinking the sealing potion, you'd better not let your soul escape your body again. Otherwise, your body will collapse," Keely said.
Angor nodded. "Alright, leave it to me."
With that, he closed his eyes and reached out his spirit feelers to sense the illusion nodes around him. He did not realize that the number of illusion nodes around him had increased by several times. There were so many of them around him.
With so many illusion nodes, it wasn't easy to come up with an idea.
As the countdown ticked away, Angor's mind was completely cleared under the immense pressure.
When he reached his best state, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Overdrive mode activated!
In an instant, the world in his eyes was no longer a simple image. Countless numbers of data were flying in front of his eyes. Angor removed the jumbled data and sorted them out bit by bit. He then inserted them into various illusion formulas and slowly worked out the source of the illusion nodes.
The others did not know what Angor was doing. They only saw him sitting on the ground, closing his eyes, and muttering something under his breath.
It did not look like he was doing anything, but they did not dare to disturb him. Whether they could leave this place depended on Angor now.
In Angor's eyes, everything around him was organized by countless numbers of data. The so-called "order" referred to the conditions and the principles of law, which were also the rules. Of course, Angor was not going to explore the laws. There were too many of them in this world, and he could not find the end of them. What he needed to do now was to find the conditions for the creation of illusion nodes and figure out the source of the nodes.
During this process, Angor gradually sensed a strange rhythm.
The rhythm was resonating with the source of the illusion inside Angor's body, and it seemed to be tempting him in a certain way.
At first, Angor tried his best to maintain his willpower. However, he was running out of time. If he wanted to do a complete calculation, it would take him more than a day.
Under such circumstances, he decided to take the risk.
Since the rhythm was guiding him to calculate the direction, then he would follow the rhythm and see where it was leading him to.
But now, he abandoned all his plans. He let the rhythm go and followed it. Soon, he locked onto a set of coordinates without considering any additional variables.
He did not know what the coordinate was, but he decided to give it a try.
"Follow me." Angor deactivated his supercomputer and called out to the others. Then, he began to move quickly.
Angor led the way, turning left and right. Every door he went through was covered by illusions. After going through dozens of doors, Angor finally stopped.
Another blood-colored barrier appeared. Angor gave it a gentle push and broke it.
Countless illusions rushed out from the barrier like a torrent, which almost knocked everyone off their feet. All kinds of illusions appeared in their eyes. Good, bad, angry, and sad.
It was so real that it felt like their lives had been reset.
If Angor did not forcibly suppress their emotions and keep them calm, they would have lost their minds. They would probably be completely immersed in this torrent of illusions.
However, even though they were now in a state where they were neither delighted by external gains nor grieved by personal losses, the torrent of illusions was too ferocious, and they still found it hard to control themselves.
He wasn't affected by the illusions, but he knew that if he left them to their own devices, it wouldn't take long for them to lose their minds.
At this critical moment …
Perhaps it was a sudden inspiration, or maybe it was something he sensed. Out of instinct, Angor released his Nightmare Domain. As soon as it covered everyone, all the illusions disappeared.
Angor could clearly feel the illusions still coming at them. However, they all avoided his Nightmare Domain like mice running into a cat.
He didn't know what was going on. Could it be that Nightmare Domain was more powerful than ordinary illusions? It was precisely because of their high level that the torrent of illusions did not dare to act rashly.
Angor's guess was close to the truth. However, he did not consider one important fact: Erdus was already dead.
Under Erdus' control, even if Angor's nightmare illusions were more advanced than Erdus' illusions, he still couldn't put up any resistance.
However, Erdus' death meant that the illusions did not have a master anymore. Naturally, they did not dare to act rashly in front of Angor's nightmare energy.
As soon as Angor released his Nightmare Domain, everyone regained their senses.
"Where … are we?"
"Is it a new illusion again? Looks like a noble's ballroom. But it's quite real this time. You're all here too. "
Angor walked to them. "This is an illusion I set up. Stay here for now or you'll get lost in the illusions. As for the source of the illusion nodes, leave it to me. "
Without waiting for them to react, Angor left a wisp of his Nightmare Domain and stepped into the source of the illusions.
Perhaps because of the strange rhythm, Angor was able to walk against the flow of the illusions and reach the small room he was in.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a glowing, transparent orb inside.
When his eyes came into contact with the round bead, he immediately felt the joy of jumping, as well as the wondrous rhythm.
"So this is the source of all the illusion nodes? Is it this bead? "
Angor slowly approached the orb as if he was being controlled by some kind of power. He reached out a hand and gently touched the orb.
In an instant, countless rays of light came out of the orb and merged into his forehead.
Angor remained in the same position with his eyes tightly closed.
The rays of light kept coming out of the orb and merged into Angor's mind.
He felt as if he was bathing in the soft sunlight, which was gentle and pleasant. He felt like a spectator watching Erdus's memories, which told him how an ordinary clam grew into a Heaven Master.
Angor felt as if he was looking back at Erdus's life. Everything about Erdus's current form was shown to him.
Erdus was a clam that had lived for nearly three thousand years. At first, it was an ordinary clam that lived for hundreds of years until it met a Duon, which changed its life.
This Duon was the ancestor of the giant Duons Angor saw when the countdown timer was activated.
The scenes showed how the Duons fought against each other to establish their civilization. It was like a legendary story, which was both fascinating and touching. However, a thousand years ago, the Duons encountered an enemy and were captured by Floating Mech City. The Duons were then sent to another world called the Purification Garden.
The ancestor of the Duons was frozen, and Erdus was forced into a deep sleep.
The remaining Duons thought that the "robbers" were "gods". How ridiculous.
From then on, there was no future.
