Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

In the dim environment, even the word "almost" can be omitted. The only reference points here were the leather and cloth fragments whose use was unknown. When the only remaining fragments turned into ashes, even with the largest eyeballs, one would not be able to know where one was or how much time had passed around.

Perhaps after wandering for an immeasurable amount of time and space, this eye demon will appear in the nightmare of another eye demon and come back to the world as its special "offspring". After coming down, the first thing it will do is to engage in a desperate fight with its "relatives".

In the world of the beholder, it is a being superior to other creatures, including other beholders. It should be the only individual that can represent its race, and all other "compatriots" should be inferior to it. When these two beings meet on a narrow road, the subsequent story is not particularly difficult to guess.

This should have been the ending. Maybe it would be a loser, coming from nightmares and going to nothingness. Or maybe it would be a winner, gaining everything from the old beholder, and continue its suspicious, cruel and arrogant activities. The beholder that gave the cultist power was not a regular individual, so its power was also unique.

But unfortunately, the object of the force is not a regular individual either.

"One hundred and two... eighty-eight... one hundred... point zero..."

The double layer of fine teeth made speaking an extremely burdensome action, but as if it was its own inertia, when this huge eyeball moved in the darkness, no matter how difficult it was, he kept muttering a string of incomprehensible numbers.

There is no pattern to these numbers. They could be odd numbers, even numbers, or even decimals accurate to three decimal places. At the same time, pictures that look extremely simple, simply outlined by polygons and straight lines, disappear in the darkness as these numbers are reported.

Gillianis, Lavinia and others should be able to recognize it. It is the trace that Ron often left on the manuscript. However, the corresponding data is completely different from the reading of this creature at this moment, and it is even impossible to associate them together at first glance.

But this is just appearance.

For example, the Moon Elf magician, knowing Ron, could easily deduce the difference between the two sets of data with just a little calculation - there are slight differences in the "units" or "elements" that make up them.

These data cannot affect reality. They will not make any sane spellcaster or scholar's head explode or go crazy, because they are merely data changes caused by social differences in different worlds. This is the result of "artificial regulations", just like in some brain teasers, "three" can be defined as two, so that there can be an integer between "three" and "four".

But not everything can understand this difference. For example... a "dream" that is projected into the real world by a chaotic creature, and the caster is unable to control it because of the severe damage it has suffered, and can only operate on its own.

When the simulated operation cannot adapt to the difference in internal and external data, this open system must bear more load. If it were just that, it would be fine. The more fatal point is that the unconscious individual who was talking in his sleep is gradually waking up due to the changes in the system!

And this awakening process is the process of "it" turning back into him, the process of the individual who is not from this world integrating into this world - he is beginning to consciously calibrate the difference in data on both sides of the system! "It's not 100.073, it should be 102.66... ​​It's not 78.497, it's..." Ron's face, which had returned to having two eyes at some point, looked around the darkness in confusion, and his mouth was still constantly integrating his scattered memories, "The constant should be... The method of measurement here is..."

These data are very important to him. They are an important bridge connecting the two Rons before and after. The conclusions that Ron knew in the past are no longer important, but the verification process has been retained so that the current Ron can complete the same work as before through rules even when he has just come out of the goblin's nest.

If the connection between the two was lost or even denied, Ron would neither be able to return to being a researcher in the past, nor be able to integrate and become a spellcaster - let alone become a beholder.

He can be transformed into an unconscious beast or monster, and does not need an overly complex brain to survive, but he cannot be separated and become another intelligent creature of another form wandering in this world, not to mention that such a creature can cast magic and even carry out conspiracies and plans.

Because logic needs roots, and an incomplete power that is not a god cannot provide enough roots for an individual like Ron without human control - it needs to have the natural laws and social laws of the two worlds behind it, and the two need to be connected.

When Ron began to gradually wake up and sort these things out himself, the system that was used to restrain and transform him could not receive this information. The only thing it could perceive and do was to constantly "report errors" and "restart". The cage in this state was obviously unable to restrain a wizard who was no longer a novice.

Therefore, when Ron's eyes regained complete clarity and his body was completely separated from the body of the creature born from the nightmare, the surrounding darkness burst out with endless malice and launched a final counterattack against this human who was so difficult to deal with.

"Rune Mind." Looking at the collapse, whose scale could not be observed due to the lack of reference, Ron shook his head and stretched out his hand to outline a group of runes in the air in front of him. The light pink barrier was instantly expanded, completely isolating the malice between reality and illusion from outside.

"You tried, but failed." Ron retracted his hand and subconsciously touched his mouth to confirm that his thirty-two human teeth were neither too many nor too few, and that there were no double layers. Then he smiled in relief, "That means you will never succeed."

“与其在这里无能狂怒，不如你好好算一算我的数据到底对不对——4*12+3*16+4*1为什么会等于‘102’呢？”

A violent wave of anger, fear and other complex emotions disappeared completely from this world along with the disappearance of the surrounding darkness. Sylvia and others were surprised to see Ron suddenly open his mental protection barrier and open his eyes.

The man closed and opened his eyes alternately, then sighed with regret: "The doctor is crazy..." (End of this chapter)
