The Psionic Storm howled and raged, forming a real "storm" in this world formed by Psionic Power. Wherever the powerful magic swept, many things formed by dreams and projections would fall apart and vanish into thin air!
Archbishop Magnum raised his hands up high, a happy smile on his face.
Facing a group of distorted projections in such a strange place, facing a dangerous trap on the mental level, was really not an easy and pleasant experience.
To be honest, he was really not good at breaking through layers upon layers of mental traps that were impossible to guard against.
But when it came to the stage where both sides' HP bars were exposed … Oh ho, then he would be in high spirits!
After all, before he joined the cult, which had no future, he was a priest for the God of War.
The Church of the God of War had little influence in the Ansu - Cecil area, and there were not many believers. But in the Typhon Empire, the Church of the God of War was the most influential religion. The army of the Typhon Empire was filled with priests from the Church of the God of War, and each of them was a hot-tempered old pigeon …
In the howling Psionic Storm, Gwen, who was in a state of psychological invisibility, narrowed his eyes slightly.
The pale golden runes summoned by Archbishop Yuri flashed and circled around the exploration team, forming a strong Psionic Barrier. Outside the barrier was a powerful storm that seemed to want to destroy everything, but inside the barrier, it was quiet.
So these golden runes were used to defend against damage from teammates …
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Gwen's gaze went past the exploration team of the Eternal Sleepers and landed on the church stairs not far away.
After all, the Psionic Storm could only deal with the weak residents of the projection and the square space that would not resist. The old priest with the strange theurgy was still standing at the end of the church stairs, some kind of protective spell helping him to resist the damage of the Psionic Storm. His face was filled with fanaticism and shock as he stared at Selena Geerfen, who was walking up the stairs step by step.
Selena's appearance was clearly that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, but as she walked forward with the lamp in her hand, there was a terrifying aura spreading around her. That aura even gradually suppressed the holy and majestic music above the church and the theurgy cast by the old priest.
Gwen was not surprised at this situation.
After all, this exploration team was the elite of the Eternal Sleepers, and the leader of the team was a Legendary Champion who was known as the "Saint" seven hundred years ago.
Although this Legendary Legendary Champion had fallen in the real world, in this world supported by the power of the soul, her strength would not be reduced in the slightest — she might even be more powerful.
In the beginning, the exploration, the Phantom Town itself and Sandbox No.1, which exceeded everyone's understanding, creating a crisis and pressure. But now … the two sides had come face to face to face, how could a mere projection of a priest be a match for Selena's?
"The supreme narrator of the upper echelons! Bring your power! Punish these thugs who invade the peace of the church! " In the face of an extremely unfavorable situation, the old priest roared. He seemed to have finally made up his mind and was ready to pay a huge price to display the power that could turn the situation around. The layers of halos behind him suddenly expanded and even covered half of the square. His voice also blended with the omnipresent holy music and resounded throughout the town. "May your kingdom descend on earth, and your will will be carried out. May you walk in the mortal world as you walk in the pure land of the heavens —"
Above the square of the church, the magnificent and holy "Voice of Heaven" once again became loud and clear. In the halos behind the old priest, layers of shadows seemed to be breaking through some kind of barrier and "squeezing" into this world. This scene, which was similar to God's Arrival, was obviously beyond the expectations of Daniel and the others.
Such a projection, the projection of the "Narrator," could not only cast ordinary theurgy but also perform God's Arrival?!
At this moment, Archbishop Yuri even hesitated for a moment. He even wanted to wait for the old priest in front of him to complete the divine spell and see what he could summon. But he immediately nixed this dangerous idea because it was very likely that this idea was induced by the enemy.
But just as he was about to interrupt the enemy's God's Descent with the other Eternal Sleepers, the magnificent divine spell suddenly stopped.
The holy music in the air abruptly stopped, and the shadows that emerged from the halos also disappeared in an instant. The old priest tried his best to perform God's Arrival, but there was no response.
Even the old priest himself was stunned for a moment, and then a look of horror appeared on his face. "My Lord … Wh … Why?!"
Selena stepped on the last step in front of the church. She looked up and looked at the old priest who was in a state of confusion and despair. Although she was looking up, her aura was as if she was looking down on him. "You look surprised … That is to say, your divine spell can indeed summon part of the projection of the Narrator's power?"
"You heresy, what have you done?!" The old priest came to his senses and could not help but take a step back. He looked at Selena who was holding the lamp in her hand in shock and anger. "Why … Why can't I feel the power of the Lord? Why can't I hear …"
"I didn't do anything." Selena looked at him quietly. "Do you need me to remind you again? You are just a projection. This town is also a projection. Everything here is a projection.
"If you can still hear the voice of your 'Lord' in the previous prayer, then it must be an illusion.
"If you can still perform the divine spell that your 'Lord' has given you, then you are just overdrawing the power of this phantom town.
"Because, you are just a projection."
The lamp in Selena's hand emitted a milky white light, like the sunlight that shone into the depths of dreams and woke people up, penetrating the old priest's mental defense.
The word "projection" that Selena kept mentioning also followed the power of the light and pierced into the old priest's sealed mind.
The entire phantom town began to shake violently.
The spires of different heights fell apart silently, and the streets were covered with cracks in the blink of an eye. Everything began to disintegrate irreversibly as if some kind of pillar that supported the world had disappeared. The town, which had been sustained until now by the incomplete projection information, was on the verge of destruction in the blink of an eye.
Apparently, after confirming the limit of the projection's power in the town and realizing that the "upper narrator" in Sandbox No. 1 might have established a connection with the phantom town through divine spells, Selena Geerfen did not intend to keep this dangerous "sample" any longer.
"No … It shouldn't be like this …" The old priest in front of the chapel stepped back in horror until he reached the door with the emblem of the upper narrator. His body was covered with black cracks, and he looked like a porcelain that was rapidly breaking. It was a terrifying scene. "The Lord will protect me. The Lord should be omniscient and omnipotent. The Lord … Why can't I hear …"
Selena looked at the projection priest who had begun to question his own existence and even the higher-ups' narrators with some pity. Then, she stepped forward and walked toward the door of the church in front of her. "The mission is over. Evacuate."
The members of the exploration team silently followed the figure holding the lantern. One by one, they passed by the projection priest whose figure had begun to fade. The latter stretched out his hand in vain as if he wanted to stop something, but he was already thin and illusory like a shadow. He could no longer stop anyone.
Gawain stood there quietly from the beginning to the end, watching the members of the exploration team of Eternal Sleepers pass through the church gate one by one, their auras disappearing one by one in this' town after the bell rings'. It was not until the last person left that he stepped forward and came to the church gate.
The sky had darkened, and the town began to collapse from the outside to the inside. Buildings collapsed in the distance, and the black debris flew into the chaotic and gloomy sky like fallen leaves.
The projection priest's broken body leaned against the chapel door, and his eyes were mixed with fanaticism and confusion.
All of a sudden, the figure of an uninvited guest was reflected in his eyes, which were about to shatter.
Gwen deliberately lifted the psychological effect of invisibility, as if to verify something, and stood quietly in front of the projection.
"Can you see me?" He lowered his head and asked in a leisurely manner.
"You are …" The projection priest's eyes slowly widened as he looked at the stranger in front of him in astonishment. "What … are you?"
"You can see … interesting." Gwen smiled slightly, then shook his head. "It's a pity that you are just a projection, and the connection with Sandbox No. 1 has been cut off. Otherwise, I really want you to help me pass a message to the upper narrator."
The projection priest's consciousness had begun to fade, and he subconsciously repeated, "Pass a message?"
"The extraterritorial wanderer will soon visit your Lord."
The last ray of light in the town disappeared.
The projection of Sandbox No. 1, which had existed for the longest time in the mental network, also disappeared.
In the familiar switching of light and shadow and a brief dizziness, Gwen returned to the real world.
The sound of eating melon seeds came from the side. Gwen had just turned his head when a handful of melon seeds was handed to him. "Here, have some melon seeds."
Gwen did not take the melon from Amber. His mind was full of thoughts as he muttered to himself, "After this, the Eternal Sleeper should take direct action against Sandbox No. 1 …"
In the phantom town, the nameless projection priest had indeed used the power of divine power. Although his final God's Arrival had failed, the "divine power" itself meant that the upper narrator in Sandbox No. 1 already had the characteristics of a god on a certain level!
The deep contamination that Yuri and the others encountered in the process of mind calibration showed that the "demigod existence" was not just a facade, but could really secretly pollute the outside world and have a substantial impact!
The Eternal Sleeper would not sit back and watch the situation develop. Even if it was risky, they should take further action.
As for Gwen himself … What he said to the projection priest in the end was not casual, because he had expected that the Eternal Sleeper's action was likely to fail.
The upper narrator "created" by the Eternal Sleeper himself was too much of a restrain to their own power.
Gwen had decided to find a way to intervene in the follow-up actions of the Eternal Sleeper, and even … when they opened Sandbox No. 1, he would find a way to find out what was going on!
Amber had gotten used to Gawain spacing out from time to time. She skillfully put the melon seeds back into the snack box in front of her. As she continued munching on the melon seeds, she said casually, "Things are getting worse over there?"
"Yes." Gwen responded casually, and then his eyes fell on Amber.
He had to pay attention to the things in the mental network, and so did the things in the real world.
Selena Geerfen's figure appeared in his mind.
"Amber — are you still carrying out the search mission I gave you?"
"You mean the whereabouts of Selena Geerfen?" Amber nodded. "It's still under investigation, and I now have a highly suspicious target …"
"A highly suspicious target?" Gwen raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What is it?"
"The Kant area and the Gelan area. These two suspects have been temporarily circled." Amber put down the melon seeds, clapped her hands, and said with a serious face, "The 'Dream Lantern' of the Cult of Eternal Sleep has appeared in the former area, and the latter … Patty's crown is a very suspicious target.
"If Selena Geerfen is using magic props to transfer her soul, then these two things are the most suspicious. They are likely to be 'containers'.
"Of course, now the Dream Lantern has been transferred to Cecil City, but it has been dismantled into parts by Rebecca, and has been studied by Kamel many times. It can be determined that the interior is' empty '. So I think, if it is a container, then Selena should have already left before that …"
Amber analyzed the situation clearly, and Gwen looked at her with more and more surprise.
It seemed that even if he did not get any key clues in this exploration, the goose in front of him would sooner or later find the clue of Selena Geerfen with the intelligence at hand. Even if it could not directly lock onto Patty herself, it could narrow the scope to the latter.
Gwen laughed, shook his head, and interrupted Amber's words.
"Make the arrangements, I'm going to Gelan."
Amber slowly opened her eyes wide.
After observing Gwen's expression for a second, she blurted out, "Oh my God … I've been busy all this time for nothing?"
Gwen was speechless.
Why is this guy getting more and more sensitive recently?
