Chapter 379 When manpower is limited
The Countess of Ceylon is almost middle-aged, but there is no sign of childbirth on her face or body. She is still so graceful, beautiful and charming.
She was like a woman favored by the gods. The passage of time and the invasion of time could not leave any traces on her body.
When approaching her, every time she took a step forward, various vicious, ferocious, or insidious phantom behemoths would appear out of thin air and attack her with an angry roar.
But their "bodies" turned into flowing light and shattered before the attack hit.
Countless brilliant brilliance bloomed in the meditation room, illuminating this dark room like a fairyland.
Not far away, Nicole Ceylon clasped her hands on her chest and continued to chant prayers belonging to the magic of illusion, eliminating all the dangerous illusions created unconsciously by the countess one by one.
Yes.
When Brandon walked firmly in front of the countess step by step, he realized that the other party might not be aware of what was happening in the outside world.
Frigga Ceylan Skov, a powerful fifth-level mage and a "loyal" believer of the God of Illusions, frowned slightly at this moment and closed her eyes tightly.
"She may be indulging in a world she has constructed out of illusions."
Pete followed closely and came to Brandon's side, identifying him for a moment.
This scene seemed familiar to him.
Peter had seen a similar scene in the dilapidated little church in the dark forest.
The believers of the Church of Illusion are addicted to the Palace of Paradise and are unwilling to break away from the false dream.
"Perhaps, the illusion she constructed was a world line in which her husband never left and her family was happy."
"It's a pity...the false beauty imagined by mortals may not be equivalent to reality."
As he spoke, Peter slowly stretched out his hand and touched the exquisite and clear pure black gemstone held in the palm of the Countess's hand.
The act of removing the gem was easier than anyone expected.
The Countess of Ceylon offered no resistance.
She didn't even set up any automatically triggered counterattack circle.
The gem was taken away, and a deep sigh sounded in the meditation room.
"Why...stop me?"
The Countess of Ceylon slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of energy, and her gaze swept across the believers seeking knowledge in the meditation room.
…
"Illusion cannot replace reality. In any case, we cannot let you continue."
Even though he knew that he was facing a level 5 strong man who might be able to wipe out all of him with a wave of his hand, Brandon still spoke firmly.
"The gods are about to collapse and fall. The people in Ceylon are suffering disasters. They have to pay such a huge price just to fulfill your illusory wish."
"Are you a little too selfish?"
Countess Ceylon shook her head slightly.
"You... are wrong."
"This is not illusory, nor is it selfish."
She began to lose her vision.
"The further you go on the road of being a professional, the more you will feel that the power of mortals is limited."
"Mage?"
"Low-level mages can use magic to accomplish things that once existed only in the imagination."
"Lighting, making fire, condensing water, preparing meals..."
"The magic network seems to be omnipotent."
"High-level mages have become more powerful."
"Distort space, affect time, travel through dimensions..."
"But we are still human."
"Magic is just a part of the power that God shares with mortals. Even powerful wizards of level 5 and 6 cannot touch the true meaning of arcane magic."
"True power always belongs to the gods themselves."
"All kinds of secret techniques and endless power belong to the gods." "The magical magic of illusion that mortals can master is just the tip of the iceberg of the goddess's power."
At this point, Countess Ceylon's tone suddenly became serious.
"I have seen miracles happen with my own eyes!"
"A great being shared his supreme power with me, allowing me to complete a miracle that truly used illusion to make up for reality!"
"Such authority does exist, it is not a fantasy!"
"I can't do it again now, but I don't have the true meaning of mastering the power of gods!"
"But as long as I continue, one day I will have power comparable to the gods!"
"..."
The countess's enthusiastic words reached Peter's ears, and he was suddenly startled.
"Really using illusion to make up for reality?"
"What's the meaning?!"
Countess Ceylon turned her eyes to the tired Nicole Ceylon at the door of the meditation room, and her eyes became gentle.
"Nicole, my daughter."
"You are the biggest miracle in the world."
Nicole was stunned.
Peter and the others were also stunned.
The countess said softly and slowly: "Nicole, do you know?"
"Your father, my lover... he actually left this world 16 years ago."
Peter's eyes suddenly widened!
He suddenly realized an extremely critical issue!
When the girl Nicole explained to them, she said that her father, the countess's husband, Serp Skov, died in the year she was born.
Nicole Ceylon just turned 14 this year!
There is a two-year gap in time!
The Countess of Ceylon continued softly:
"I was so sad at that time."
"Sepp left in such a hurry. I didn't have time to say goodbye to him, or even let him leave a trace of Skov's blood behind."
"I'm ready to leave this world with him."
"However, there is a great being who calls himself Risti. He appeared in front of me when I was most sad and desperate."
"With His help, I accomplished a...miracle with my own hands."
"Dear Sepp has returned to me. It's like he has never left. He stayed with me safely until... you were born."
"The great being named Resti told me from the very beginning that the miracle that brought Sepp back from the dead was time-limited."
"This miracle can only last for two years at most."
"Two years later, I witnessed Serp's passing again."
"But at least I already know that there are ways in this world that can reverse reality and change the future!"
"I spent a lot of time looking for it, until...the two men in black robes came to me with the artifact."
"Use the artifact to call the gods back and gain the power that truly belongs to Him!"
"I'm almost there!"
"When I fully grasp the power that belongs to Him, dear Sepp will come back to me again. I can even use this power to change more and reverse other desperate realities!"
"I know the disaster outside."
"But that's nothing."
"As long as I can master the power that truly belongs to God, all disasters are just a dream. I can rewrite and eliminate them at any time!"
"You...are you still going to stop me?"
