Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 406: Not Illusion

"So, do you really think you can defeat me?"

The black-robed Tianzun sat on the monster's head, smoking a pipe with a leisurely and contented attitude, which was out of tune with the life-and-death struggle on the battlefield around him.

The frivolous voice traveled through the crumbling space and rang directly in Klein's mind.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Klein tried hard to gather his thoughts and guide himself to think in a specific direction.

Since someone doesn't want me to be completely lost in this fantasy, I must have helpers here!

Yes, I am supported and I have help!!

"I'm not alone here!!"

Klein screamed loudly, constantly using sound to strengthen his cognition and forcibly shape his own concepts from scratch.

He couldn't be sure whether this method would work, nor could he control what impact his thoughts would have on this illusion, but now, all he could do was give it a try!

"I'm not alone here!!"

A tiny bit of light fell into the dry oil lamp, and a tiny flame finally ignited successfully, surging and jumping above Klein's faith.

The vibration in the corridor suddenly intensified. Klein subconsciously ducked his head to avoid it. A mechanical monster made of brass and steel broke through the wall above Klein's head.

The mechanical monster was only slightly larger than Klein, and was completely incomparable to the brick and wood monster under Tianzun. It was composed of various strange mechanical components, without any rules at all. It just roughly aggregated all the metal creations that could be found, and finally formed an absurd and weird image.

Following Klein's footsteps, three more mechanical monsters broke through the wall in front of him. They jumped over Klein's head, ran backwards, and fought with the brick and wood monster carrying Tianzun.

A mechanical monster descended from the sky, picked up Klein from the ground without saying a word, and threw him on top of its head. The twisted copper tube immediately spewed out a large amount of steam, carrying Klein all the way.

However, Klein was completely unable to control these mechanical monsters, and had no idea where they were going to take him. As part of the illusion, the mechanical monsters seemed to have their own thoughts and were completely unable to communicate effectively with Klein.

This feeling of being out of control made Klein start to worry again, but now it was more important to escape from this maze of corridors.

I hope this approach won't bring any hidden dangers.

Perhaps because of his impaired thinking ability, Klein always felt that he had become very indecisive. Countless possibilities and countless thoughts competed for control of his body in his mind, attacking the torch of hope that had just been ignited.

The four mechanical monsters fought in the collapsed and twisted corridor behind Klein, jumping up and down to tear and attack the brick and wood giant, and fired whistling shells at Tianzun.

However, Tianzun still just sat there, lightly tapping his pipe, and the shells brushed past the corners of his black robe, and exploded when they hit the wall due to the slight change in trajectory. The hot sparks made the masked smile even more sinister.

The corridor continued to collapse, and a steady stream of wood blocks and broken bricks were twisted and became part of the giant monster, but the metal parts of the mechanical monster were becoming less and less with each attack and defense.

The mechanical monsters' offensive gradually became ineffective. From the fierce strangulation in the beginning, they were now barely able to defend themselves, and even their bodies had shrunk significantly.

Finally, with a roar from the brick monster, the four mechanical monsters surrounding it were immediately captured by the shock wave. They all shattered into pieces of metal parts that fell to the ground with a clatter, and died completely.

Only the mechanical monster under Klein survived the attack. It and Klein were far away from the brick and stone giant. Although it suffered a mental shock, it was still able to maintain its speed and put a long distance between itself and the brick and stone giant in the chaotic corridor maze.

"Stand up! Everyone, stand up!"

Klein shouted, wanting to use the same method again to summon the mechanical monster.

"I have help! I am supported here!"

However, the cruel reality was invisibly eroding the few remaining confidences. As the situation further deteriorated, the fire of faith belonging to the mechanical monster could no longer be ignited.

No matter how loud and fierce his cries were, in the face of such a bleak reality, they could not deceive Klein's own heart.

The subconscious mind has refused to believe such a cheap lie, and the miracle of the mechanical monster cannot be reproduced.

Klein gritted his teeth and could only continue running wildly in the corridor maze.

Time, time!

At least those mechanical monsters bought me a lot of time!

As long as I have time, I can think and I can find a way!

Since your brain can't work, force yourself to think more, spend more time thinking, and think from more angles.

Believe in yourself, believe in yourself!

Now, Klein, think twice before you act! !

But the next second, a row of thick and sharp wooden spikes burst out from the walls on both sides, like a pair of fangs and sharp teeth, biting the last mechanical monster into pieces in one bite.

As parts flew everywhere, Klein fell heavily to the ground. He immediately got up with a grimace on his face and continued running forward using his hands and feet.

…It’s so unlucky that even drinking cold water will get stuck in your teeth!!

While running, Klein looked back and saw the pale mask of Tianzun.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Klein's mind was blank. He didn't know what was going on. The black-robed Tianzun landed lightly behind him. The alien mask was so close to him that Klein could even feel the dampness and coldness emanating from the mask.

A strong sense of crisis finally broke out of his chaotic and shattered spiritual intuition, striking Klein's stagnant and messy thoughts forcefully, forcing him to immediately overclock to find a glimmer of hope.

In an instant, a flood of complicated memories overwhelmed Klein, and all the experiences of the past few months flowed rapidly through his mind.

Melissa’s words, Leonard’s words, words in the illusion, words in the mist of history, words from Alice…

Various contradictory viewpoints and concepts collided at high speed in Klein's mind, criticizing each other and arguing with each other, affirming each other and opposing each other.

Finally, Klein stretched out his hands, walked through the falling rain of ruins, and held up the mask with a strange smile.

“Is there a possibility that what everyone says is true?

"What Melissa said is true, what Leonard said is true, and what Alice said is true."

Klein smiled sadly.

"I defeated the Lord of Mysteries, I became the Lord of Mysteries, and I merged with the Lord of Mysteries.

“In fact, there is no Heavenly Sovereign chasing me, let alone any Heavenly Sovereign wanting to destroy me. Those were all self-attacks and self-divisions that I created for myself due to my confused thinking.

“I have been denying myself, cutting myself off, avoiding facing the damn reality, and fantasizing that I will have a better ending in the future.

“But in fact, from ancient times to the present, through time and space, there has always been only one “me” and only one secret.

“You are me and I am you.

"We are one, we cannot be separated."

Klein grabbed the cloth, pulled the black cloak off the other person, and put it on himself.

“I’m Zhou Mingrui, and I’m Klein Moretti.

"I am the Lord of Mysteries.

"I am Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun!"
