Chapter 281 The smarter you are, the less smart you will be
Novin said in the Kingdom of God.
Don't ask.
Even he was surprised when asked.
But what surprised Noven was different from that of Bete and other believers.
He was surprised by the illusion magic itself.
Noven has already figured out the principles and effects of [Illusion Magic] through his authority.
The illusions created by Serp do have the effect of distorting reality.
However, it is fundamentally different from the illusion achieved through magic.
Magical illusions are illusions condensed with arcane energy.
Just like the fire, ice, etc. gathered under arcane constraints;
It is the result of forcibly changing the physical and chemical rules of reality.
For example, a phantom wall can even have a certain degree of physical blocking ability. It is a real "phantom".
[Illusion Magic] The distorted reality is different.
What it changes is not the illusion it creates.
But the senses of all "observers"!
Pet's and his other senses, including vision, hearing, touch, etc., were distorted the moment the magic took effect and were automatically replaced with Sepp's new appearance.
From Noven's divine perspective, he could see more things.
Using Sepp as the "radiation source", he is constantly releasing a kind of "information" mixed with strange divine power to the surroundings. This information is continuously transmitted to Pet and the others with the help of the ubiquitous magic network dimension as a bridge. these "observers".
This is the reason for the weak fluctuations of the magic network.
In fact, there was no change in what Serpe really looked like.
The Serpu that Noven could see still looked like the down-and-out middle-aged uncle.
But when the senses of mortal observers like Peter were affected, the Sepp they could recognize automatically turned into the phantom shape that Sepp designed for himself.
If the information at the cognitive level has been tampered with, it will definitely be impossible to tell whether the other party is real or an illusion at the moment.
Moreover, this cognitive tampering has a magical mechanism:
The more powerful the existence, the stronger the cognitive ability, and the more connections it has with the magic network, the more serious it will be tampered with in the end.
…
The few believers present, except Brandon, have one thing in common, they are all spell casters.
Even Rena and Miranda, although they are stalkers and priests respectively, do not prevent them from learning a few simple low-level magics.
Magic such as [Mage's Hand] and [Illumination] can only be exchanged for 15 destiny points. The attribute requirements are almost none. It is not difficult to learn. As long as you spend some free time, you can learn it quickly.
Even if this kind of magic is not used in battle, it can be easily used to assist in daily life.
This is also a common situation among 99% of believers who seek knowledge at present.
The number of spellcasters per capita is really not an exaggeration, but describing a fact.
Brandon is a special case.
Until now, Brandon had not spent any effort to learn any magic.
He is a pure warrior in the true sense, with extremely pure "blood" and no concurrent training at all.
As a result, this iron move gave Brandon an unexpected gain.
The information perceived by others has been tampered with, even including the magical information of [The Secret of All Things].
The oracle itself is also a message.
The process of obtaining information is also a cognitive process.
Novin checked the huge flesh and blood sphere with thousands of eyes and confirmed that there was no problem with the oracle information transmitted to the believers.
Sepp's state does have an additional effect called "Illusion".
It's just that the degree of tampering by the [Illusion Divine Art] was so serious that Pet and the others couldn't even properly understand the information in the Norven Oracle.
Brandon's tampering was less severe.
Because - his cognitive ability is limited.
His distorted cognition only includes ordinary senses, that is, the eyes look real enough, and the touch of fingers feels realistic enough.
Only then can Brandon still recognize the information of [The Secret of All Things].
After understanding the principle of the illusory magic, Noven's first reaction was that it was just what was said in the legend: "The smarter a person is, the richer his cognitive ability is;" The more serious the perception of technical tampering;"
“The greater the degree of tampering, the more difficult it becomes to discern the phantom;”
“The harder it is to distinguish between illusions, the less intelligent a person appears.”
In summary, conclusions are drawn.
"The smarter a person is, the less smart he becomes!"
…
To break this cognitive distortion, the method is both simple and difficult.
The first way is to be a fool.
As long as I'm stupid enough, don't let me get twisted.
But this is difficult to achieve.
Brandon's knowledge that he had not been tampered with was just the result of the [Mystery of All Things Revealed] magic. The degree of tampering on his part was not serious enough, but it did not mean that he had not been tampered with.
From his perspective, you can also see Sepp in the "illusion state".
If you really want to be so stupid that it can't be tampered with, I'm afraid you have to be a mentally retarded idiot.
Note that it must be "intellectual disability", not "loss of reason".
The former means mentally retarded.
The latter means madman.
Being crazy does not mean that you have poor cognitive ability. In fact, some crazy guys are crazy because they have too much cognitive ability.
If that kind of person is affected by [Illusion Magic], they will only be tampered with even more severely.
This path is theoretically feasible.
In fact, it is basically impossible.
…
The second method is to find a way to protect your own cognition.
Novin can be sure of one thing:
The user of divine magic, or in other words, Sepp who has been blessed by the illusory goddess Resti, under the protection of that divine power, his cognition has not been tampered with.
To be more precise.
This process is actually: Sepp's cognition was tampered with and at the same time, it was tampered back to its normal state by the power of [Illusion Magic]!
The two occur simultaneously and cancel each other out.
Even in the eyes of others, Sepp has turned into a handsome, mature and sexy middle-aged handsome guy at this time.
But from Sepp's own perspective, he didn't change at all.
He still looked that down and out.
Novin said that he is familiar with this!
“Isn’t it just to teach other gods’ magical knowledge to my followers, and then let them learn to use it!”
He has done this job many times.
Whether it was the God of Radiance, the Goddess of Magic, the God of Wilderness, the God of Forging, or the God of Harvest, Novan directly copied the power controlled by these gods for his followers to use.
Anyway, when believers use divine arts or magic, they can get unconditional permission from the corresponding god by using Novin as a springboard.
No need to worry if you have too many debts, no need to worry if you have too many lice.
Wouldn't it be great to add the Goddess of Illusion to the copy list!
Nuowen planned this, and then tried the effect of [Illusion Magic] in the Kingdom of God just like he had tried other magical arts before.
The next moment.
"……Um??"
Noven made a surprised sound.
Because the divine spell failed to receive the support of the divine power corresponding to the goddess of illusion,
he failed to release it.
