Chapter 380 The consequences of not having instructions for use
From the moment the Countess turned the topic to Nicole Ceylan, the latter's mind fell into a blank.
It was as if the sound of something cracking sounded in the girl Nicole's mind.
Listen carefully.
It turned out to be the sound of the world view shattering.
Before this, the girl Nicole had never thought that her father, Sep Skov, who allowed her to be born after ten months of pregnancy... was actually a limited illusion created by a miracle.
Too many questions popped up in her mind at once.
The blood descendants left by the illusion, so does she have a biological father, or not?
Is her existence a living person, or an illusion that can think for itself?
What makes the girl Nicole's world view collapse even more is yet to come.
"My Nicole, my daughter."
"You always think that you have discovered the truth of the matter and try every means to stop my attempts. For this reason, I have to use illusions to create an obedient personality out of thin air to control your words and deeds."
The Countess Ceylan's face was slightly complicated.
"Actually..."
"That Nicole is the you of the past."
"You of now...are the new person who appeared out of nowhere and competed with my daughter for her body."
The pupils trembled.
The young girl Nicole's mentality collapsed on the spot.
The blow of this sentence was too great for her.
She always felt that she was the one who noticed that her mother had gone astray.
For this reason, she had to find ways to find external help to stop her mother.
It turned out that she was actually the outsider of this family, the insider who messed up the situation!
Countess Ceylon did not mean to blame Nicole, but smiled gently:
"However, my daughter, your appearance actually proves that I am on the right path."
"Illusions created by mortals cannot have their own thoughts and cognition."
"They will only obey my orders, such as Mr. Winnex, the old butler who has served in the castle for many years."
"You have your own ideas, your own personality and ideas."
"This shows that you are no longer a pure illusion, you are a living... person."
"Since I can succeed in you, give me some more time, I will definitely make the same success replicated in my dear Sep!"
"So, outsiders of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, please return the artifact to me, okay?"
...
The tone is gentle and the words are polite.
But the meaning of the expression does not give people room for refusal.
Pate was nervous, but his face remained as calm as possible.
Because he had to directly reject the "request" of a 5th-level strongman!
"Ms. Countess."
"The Lord we believe in has given us guidance. The collapse and fall of the Goddess of Illusion is coming. Every attempt you make is accelerating this process."
"Keep trying, things will be irreversible!"
"If it is just to make up for your obsession, there must be other ways to do it in this world!"
"But it definitely does not include - at the cost of the fall of a god and the death of thousands of ordinary people!"
"What is the difference between you and those crazy cultists who have surrendered to the evil god?"
The Countess of Ceylon shook her head stubbornly.
She stretched out her slender fingers and hooked them towards the black hexagonal gem held in Pete's hand.
Pet only felt a great pulling force coming, and the gem flew out of his hand uncontrollably as if it had its own soul.
"I won't give up!"
"In order to change reality, over the years, I have prayed again and again to the god named Resti who once helped me, asking him to come to me again so that I can witness his miracles again!"
"I am willing to give everything for this!"
"But he never appeared again, not even once!"
"The great power is in his hands. Since he is unwilling to share it with me, I will find a way to get it myself!"
"I can be sure that the artifact has a decisive power, and his authority must be related to the artifact!"
"Perhaps-the moment he falls, I will be promoted to a new illusion god and have all his power!"
At this point, the countess's face was full of fanaticism!
She is not crazy, she just intends to make an extremely crazy attempt!
At the cost of a god's pollution and corruption, try to replace him!
...
Pet sighed heavily.
"In that case, I'm sorry, Lord Ceylon."
"We have reasons to stop you."
The uniform and high-pitched prayers sounded!
This is a divine ritual performed by believers seeking knowledge!
"Lord! Please guide us, may the light of your truth shine upon the earth!"
"In the name of your devout believers, I offer you a great sacrifice to the gods, please witness it!"
The dark hexagonal gem that had already flown into the countess's hands suddenly burst into a surging dark light!
Like a black hole that absorbs all the light, with the gem as the center, the entire meditation room instantly fell into complete darkness!
The concept of "light" seemed to be completely stripped away at this moment.
Endless darkness became the only theme of this space.
This process did not last long.
In Pete's perception, it was probably only a few minutes.
A dim light began to flow into the room again, providing a little illumination.
The Countess subconsciously tried to grasp the "artifact" in her hand, but she grasped nothing.
The exquisite and standard hexagonal gem disappeared completely without a trace.
She stretched out her hand nervously.
No response.
The Countess of Ceylon was completely panicked this time!
Because she had never seen such a situation!
Since the two black-robed men brought this "artifact" to her, she has also conducted a lot of research and experiments.
This black gem has extremely special properties.
Even the full-strength attack of a 5th-level archmage could not leave any trace on it.
Flooding, fire, acid erosion, lightning strikes, weathering, all kinds of means will not work.
Moreover, according to the method told by the two black-robed men, as long as the corresponding gestures and special spells are used, the artifact will immediately fly back to her side.
In the past, Nicole Ceylan tried to steal the gem directly, but it was useless because the Countess could recall it at any time.
But this time the situation is different!
The "artifact" is really gone!
After the dark light that absorbed all the light burst, the gem completely disappeared.
"What did you do?!"
The Countess panicked visibly.
Pete, Gail, Brandon and Miranda looked a little strange.
Because this is not the first time they have seen such a scene.
"In a sense, this may be the consequence of your failure to get the instructions for using this "artifact"..."
"Its true purpose, I'm afraid... is not for you to use it to pry open the power of a god."
