Icetis's body was right in front of me, so close that we could smell each other's breaths. I could even smell a faint fragrance. Sister Icetis didn't have the habit of using perfume. This scent was the holy aura that she was born with as a Goddess. I looked at the beautiful face with her eyes tightly shut. The latter's voice was shouting in all the channels, "F * ck! I'm stuck! I'm stuck! I'm still stuck! I can't get out, I can't get out, I can't get out. Chen, you have to think of something. Sandora, why did you suddenly have a sword in your hand … "
"Calm down! Sandora! Impulsiveness is the devil! " I quickly held down the Queen who was raring to go. Then, I held down Lin Xue and Shallow Shallow who were equally raring to go. "Lin lass, Shallow Shallow, you two too. Icetis is now one with me. I can understand your feelings of wanting to beat her up, but I can't accept it physiologically …"
"Understand your head!" Icetis shouted angrily in all the channels. "Sandora, aren't you an expert in the study of souls!? Hurry up and take a look at what is going on. Why am I stuck in Chen's soul and unable to get out!? "
Sandora clenched her teeth and put away her Battleship Slicing Blade. She first turned around to check on Icetis's body. Then, she pinched and pinched my body. Although there was nothing wrong with being pinched and pinched by one's lover, the moment I saw Sandora's gaze, I felt that she was actually just checking the weight of the body in front of her. She had already ground her teeth three times.
"There's never a time where you don't get into trouble!" Sandora said angrily. I wasn't sure if she was talking to me or Icetis. Perhaps both of us were involved. "I can't tell what is going on. The two souls are inseparable. Actually, I can't even feel the reaction of Icetis's soul. Only Ah Jun's … Icetis, have you tested this Divine Art before? You don't even know what is going on when you invented it yourself? "
"Who am I going to find to experiment with? It's not like you don't know that the Soul Resonance Law is used to cheat in exams. Back then, I was the only student in the entire academy, and the rest were teachers — — I'm supposed to look for the dean to discuss advanced techniques for cheating in exams? Excuse me, teacher, I've invented a new technique for copying answers in exams, but I don't know if it's good to use. Please help me verify it. Do you think I was planted by the Goddess of Life? "Icetis was especially talkative when she was flustered and exasperated. Sandora's teasing finally opened her mouth." But in theory, there shouldn't be any problems with this magic. You know I was a technical geek back then, forced to become a top student by hundreds of teachers. How could I make such a mistake! Also, after the Soul Synchronicity Law was made public, many Protoss learned it out of curiosity. I've never heard of anyone getting stuck in someone else's body after learning the Soul Synchronicity Law. "
"Let's not think about the cause of this for now. Let's think of a way to get Icetis back." I felt that as one of the parties involved, I should express my own opinion. "In theory, we wouldn't be able to understand the reason why Icetis's magic failed."
I looked at the people around me. Other than Icetis, who was a high-level God, who was stuck, the rest of the people were illiterate when it came to Divine Arts. At the side, there was also the group of Protoss Bar Five Minus One who rushed over after hearing the news. Unfortunately, the four of them were living treasure Gods brought up by Jingle. Elson and Monina's level of magic was limited to the point where their respective teachers wouldn't be angered to death. Lin only had a bit of strength. She graduated as a sports speciality student. She had taken the Divine Arts examination a hundred and thirty-six times, but all of her results added up to a failing mark. That was because she had destroyed all of the examination rooms. Uncle Kenser looked mature and steady, with the demeanor of a parent, but in reality, I suspected that he graduated as a housekeeping speciality student. Furthermore, I suspected that the most important reason for his successful graduation was because if he didn't graduate soon, there wouldn't be any teachers who were older than him in the school …
Alright, it's a little rude to make up stories about Uncle Kenser with malicious intentions. However, when he arrived at the scene, he only said four words without any punctuation, "Very good, very good …" How could I not make up stories about him making up stories about how he had forced all the teachers to retire before they graduated?
As for Jingle … Forget it. She was still playing around with her thousands of sisters in the Divine Temple. I doubted that the intelligence of the thousands of three-inch nails added together would be enough to solve the problem that Icetis was facing. They would definitely come up with an idea each. As long as we adopted even one tenth of their ideas, Sister Icetis would be doomed.
In summary, even a top student like Icetis didn't understand what was wrong with her Divine Arts. A bunch of amateurs and inexperienced people shouldn't join in the fun. Sandora finally became serious this time. She also felt that it was extremely inappropriate for Icetis to merge with me. After pondering for a while, the Queen suggested an idea, "Why don't I try to use my Soul Reaper's power to pull Icetis out …"
"If you want to kill me, just say it." Icetis's soul replied. "Back then, when you said that you could cure my insomnia, I believed you so easily. In the end, I ended up hugging a pillar and singing 'Little Lamb' for two hours at the entrance of your palace … Not a single one of your powers can be used to save people."
Sandora pouted and didn't say anything. I wiped the sweat off my forehead. To make Sandora suffer such a punishment back then, what exactly did Icetis do back then?
"Blockhead, why don't you try transforming into your Void form?" Lin Xue suggested another idea. "Since Icetis is a high-level God, she can also survive in the Void environment. After you transform into your Void form, it will be equivalent to the real Void. Let Icetis's soul 'swim out' on its own."
This was a rather reliable idea. I could try it on the spot. Thus, Sandora had the weaker and unrelated personnel retreat. Then, I transformed into my Void form and carefully controlled the surrounding Void domain to prevent damaging the equipment in the laboratory. Actually, I should have found a more open area, I thought.
"Icetis?" I tried calling out to the female pervert. "Can you come out now?"
"… Stop trying. It's useless. My soul and yours are one now. Even if I'm trapped, it's your soul that's trapped. No matter what form you transform into, your soul can't possibly transform along with you. It's still stuck. "
I transformed back into my original form dejectedly. Shallow Shallow pondered for a long time. I had no idea how many thoughts were running through her mind at high speed. Suddenly, she clapped her hands and said, "Oh yeah, in the story, when the prince kisses the princess, the princess will wake up from the lack of oxygen. You two can kiss …"
The moment she said that, everyone was shocked. I gawked at the girl while Sandora and Lin Xue's faces were cramping. The elder sister muttered, "Shallow Shallow, you're so open-minded." The girl finally reacted. She looked at Icetis and then at me. Suddenly, she jumped up like a startled bunny. "Ah, no, no! You two can't! Ah Jun is my husband! "
Icetis seemed to have just recovered from the shock a few seconds ago. She sighed in the public channel, "This girl's imagination must be bigger than her brain …"
Then, we tried all sorts of methods. Shallow Shallow, Lin Xue, Sandora, and even Tawil and the Protoss Bar took turns to give us suggestions. They included uploading the video onto the internet, performing a mental attack on Icetis's body, making Monina enter the Shadow Plane to create a dream connection, and making me watch both the new and old versions of "Princess Pearl". The last one was Shallow Shallow's idea. She tried to use this method to force Icetis out. She wanted to use the "power to escape from a desperate situation". However, I didn't dare to agree to it because Shallow Shallow's imagination was bigger than her brain …
Just like that, everyone was mentally and physically exhausted, except for Shallow Shallow. She was still very motivated and suggested the third plan: Play "Uneasy" on a loop for a day. This way, either Icetis or I would be unable to sustain the out-of-body experience …
In the end, I could tell that everyone here was more unreliable than the other. Even the slightly more reliable ones didn't know any divine arts. It wouldn't be easy to free Icetis. Thus, I could only discuss with the female pervert in my body, "Erm, why don't we put your matter aside for now? If it really doesn't work out, I'll go to the God Realm and ask God Father for help. Do you think any of us here looks like we can help?"
Of course, Icetis wasn't willing to give up. However, she had already entered a state where her heart was as still as water after the series of bad ideas. She said in a state of despair, "Whatever. Just who did I offend …"
Sandora got someone to temporarily bring Icetis's body back home and hand it over to Anveena to take care of. In any case, that body still had the most basic ability to move around. It was still easier than taking care of a vegetable. After that, we gathered together in the room next to the laboratory and began to discuss the important matter at hand.
"What exactly is in the rift valley?" The elder sister's words caused the atmosphere to turn solemn. The interlude was over. Now, it was time for the important matter.
"All of you should be mentally prepared." I changed to a more comfortable position on the sofa because the things that had happened in the past few hours were enough for me to talk for half a day. "I met the boss behind the Fallen Apostle …"
Everyone's reactions were within my expectations. Sandora was shocked, but she quickly calmed down and began to think. The elder sister was dumbfounded and hadn't reacted yet. Lin Xue nodded thoughtfully. Of course, she couldn't predict what would happen in the rift valley. However, as a prophet, she had already reached the stage where she wouldn't be surprised no matter what bizarre situation she saw or encountered (She saw quite a few bizarre things in her prophecies every day). Shallow Shallow's reaction was something that no one could predict. That was why I looked at her curiously. I wanted to see what this abnormal lady thought about this shocking news. She didn't disappoint me, "Ah Jun, Ah Jun, is the boss of the Fallen Apostle tall?"
— I didn't expect her to ask this question.
After waiting for everyone to recover from their shock and confusion, I coughed twice and began to tell everyone everything that had happened in the internet world. They should be able to roughly understand the first half of the situation through the external surveillance (Of course, the people on the outside wouldn't have the special 'perspective' that Icetis and I had). As for what happened in the rift valley, they could only listen to my narration.
Icetis would occasionally add a few words through the spiritual connection. She temporarily put aside her own troubles and focused her attention on the important matter. This would effectively reduce the chances of me being fooled by this female pervert.
After relaying the information, I felt a little parched. I picked up the cup of tea in front of me to moisten my throat, "The situation is like this. Currently, Icetis and I are unable to cross the black barrier. However, it seems like the other side can't cross it either. The main body of the rift valley is actually just a flat surface. However, its influence has caused a large area of the internet to have abnormalities. At the same time, it has affected the basic network and the database. From our perspective, it is a deep pit. Based on Schilling's explanation, it is the network's dynamic self-recovery that is continuously counteracting the damage caused by the rift valley. Hence, from the perspective of network security, the rift valley is harmless. Its hidden danger lies in the network that leads to the Fallen Apostle. Tawil, you and Bubble might have some work to do. "
"Yes, Your Majesty," Tawil replied. Icetis waited for me to put down the teacup before she muttered in dissatisfaction, "This won't do. I have to drink something too …"
I twitched the corner of my lips, "How are you going to drink in your current state?"
"… Then take another sip and share it with me."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I did as I was told. Listening to Icetis's muttering in the mental connection, "Not satisfied, not satisfied." I lifted my head to look at Sandora, "I feel that Abyss Schilling is a little unreasonable. How trustworthy do you think her words are?"
"The smartest swindler will tell you ten truths and one fatal lie. Only a rookie would tell a complete lie." Sandora habitually tapped her finger on the table. "To be able to command the Fallen Apostle, Abyss Schilling definitely belongs to the former category. Hence, most of her words are trustworthy. However, we definitely won't be able to find the most untrustworthy sentence …"
"Then, treat everything that she says with some suspicion," my elder sister said. "There are only two purposes for false intelligence: to waste our energy to make the New Empire walk the wrong path, or to conceal certain movements of the Fallen Apostle. Now that the Fallen Apostle is hiding in the dark, Abyss Schilling's sudden appearance to fool us definitely isn't for the second purpose, which is … "
"Using false intelligence to waste the enemy's energy huh …" Sandora pondered. "Indeed, no matter what she tells you, the Empire will have to split its attention to deal with it. It might even be like now, where so many of us are having a headache trying to determine which of her words is the truth. Her goal has already been achieved."
"In short, putting aside Abyss Schilling's strange behavior, she is still an enemy. Regardless of whether she has any hostility or not, the Empire has a score to settle with her." I tapped the table lightly. "Right now, what I'm most concerned about is another matter. According to Abyss Schilling, when I went to save the fifteenth sky seventy thousand years ago, there was a portion of her power that spread along the network fault zone, which is the predecessor of the rift, to the old Empire that had already been turned into the Abyss. That portion of her power wouldn't disappear into thin air, so …"
This topic made the room fall silent. Everyone present, except for Shallow Shallow, probably understood that if Abyss Schilling didn't lie about this report, then we would receive an extremely horrifying conclusion —
"It transformed into a portion of the current Fallen Apostle's power." Sandora nodded. "In other words, it facilitated the transformation of the Fallen Apostles. Perhaps it was because of this bit of power that came from the Void Creatures that allowed a large number of Shiring Apostles to survive and complete the process of turning into the Abyss. That Schilling on the other side also said that she relied on that portion of your power to maintain her sanity until the entire Abyss Empire was completely transformed. "
Even for the powerful Shiring Apostles or the Galacticus Gods, the probability of surviving and becoming an Abyssal creature in the fully polluted environment of the Abyss was very low. Most people would be distorted and torn apart at the early stages of the pollution, self-destructing into chaotic information and dissipating into the Void. Or, like Kaiser back then, they would become a Shredder monster that could not even be considered a human. However, on the side of the Fallen Apostles, there were a large number of entire regiments that survived. This has always been a difficult point to understand. If there was Emperor Schilling who survived, then it would be understandable. But what happened to the ordinary soldiers who survived the collapse of the Old Empire until now?
This is something that we have only recently discovered. In the army of the Fallen Apostles that we captured and successfully reversed, we found a large number of ordinary soldiers who served during the era of the Old Empire. All along, we thought that the ordinary soldiers of the Fallen Apostles were all created by high-level units such as the Fallen Emperor or the Fallen General. However, the appearance of these ordinary veterans has subverted this conjecture. No one knew how these relatively weak ordinary soldiers survived the pollution 70,000 years ago. Now, it seems that it was the power of the Void Creatures that caused this result.
In the great pollution of the Old Empire, the power of the Void became a life-saving buffer. It caused the intense Abyss pollution to become relatively mild. Thus, the Fallen Apostles were born as an army unit. Today, 70,000 years later, they began to wage an endless war against this army led by the power of the Void. This was a great irony.
Of course, it can also be seen that even with the power of the Void as a buffer, there were still some unlucky Shiring Apostles who were unable to withstand the pollution. The pitiful group of Shredders should have been too close to the core area of the pollution. Even though the transformation process was neutralized, they were still unable to persevere to the end.
"We can't eliminate the possibility that the Abyss Schilling is just using this false information to disturb us." The elder sister coughed lightly. "If this is true, then it will cause a huge uproar in the Empire. Furthermore, it will be difficult for you, Ah Jun …"
I nodded my head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. If Schilling's elder sister wasn't lying, then I had indirectly catalyzed the birth of the Fallen Apostles 70,000 years ago. Then, 70,000 years later, I had created a new Empire. After that, two waves of Apostles fought each other to the point that their brains were about to come out. If this news were to spread, with the number of mental hospitals in the City of Shadows, there would probably be a shortage of beds …
Fortunately, we didn't have to worry about the problem of leaking this information to the ordinary races. The rational side of the Shiring Apostles would also prevent them from being disturbed by this kind of information. Furthermore, to me, even if the power that I had released 70,000 years ago indirectly allowed a large number of Fallen Apostles to survive, so what? Things had already happened, and it was out of my control from start to finish. The only thing I could do now was to fight to the death against the Fallen Apostles and the faction of the Abyss that they belonged to. As long as the power of the Abyss was still attacking the innocent worlds, the Imperial Army would never stop. This was the only path that had been passed down for millions of years. After spending so much time with the Xi Ling apostles, I've gotten used to thinking in their way of thinking. That is, when you encounter something that gives you a headache, you don't need to think too much about it. You don't need to know what kind of trouble you'll encounter, you just need to know what you should do.
