Don't call me evil god

Chapter 375 The Countess's Secret

The whole story was told in the weak Nicole's description.

"Once upon a time... my family was extremely happy."

"Mother and father truly love each other. Although there are great differences in their identities, status and strength, this has no effect on their feelings at all."

"I am the fruit of their love and the witness of their affection."

"But the year I was born, my father... encountered an assassination attempt."

"The assassin's identity is mysterious and his strength is so great that all the castle's defenses have failed to take effect."

"My mother happened to receive an invitation from the Glowing God Cult to attend a ceremony, so she left the castle."

"When she got back after receiving the news, all she saw was a body lying in a pool of blood."

Pete and Gale looked at each other.

There was a hint of shock in their eyes.

The Countess's husband, Mr. Skov, has never had a strong presence. He rarely leaves the castle and only appears briefly at social gatherings, rarely speaking.

Everyone just thought that he was shy and introverted and not good at socializing.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Skov had actually been dead for more than ten years, and what appeared in front of the public during these years was nothing more than a false illusion created by divine magic.

"So... the Countess at that time believed in the Goddess of Illusion and used her magic to create a false husband?"

Gale asked in surprise.

The Church of Vision, which originated in Ceylon, was denounced as a heresy and has been expelled for more than a decade.

So during these ten years, a "heretic" with the strength of a 5th-level wizard has been operating openly in front of everyone, even blatantly using illusions to deceive outsiders?

After thinking about it, Gail realized something.

"Oh, that's right."

The local royal officials were responsible for expelling heretics from the kingdom, and in Ceylon, the most powerful person was the countess.

She wouldn't expel herself out of nothing, would she?

Nicole Ceylan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that simple."

"The relationship between my mother and the Goddess of Illusion... is something I only discovered in recent years."

"Because I was born not long ago when my father died, I can't remember what happened at that time at all."

"There are two mysterious men in black robes. From time to time, they would enter the castle through the secret passage to meet my mother and me."

"There is no such thing as a goddess of illusion in this world, nor is there any illusion magic."

"The two men in black robes told my mother a secret."

"Regarding——the secret of becoming a god."

The eyes of the mages Pete and Gale widened unconsciously.

One of the greatest pursuits of the mages of the Magic Hermitage is to ascend to the throne of God with a mortal body, to create their own kingdom of God, and to possess exclusive divine power.

Such an idea can basically remain in imagination. Over the years, no mortal has ever achieved this.

There are extremely powerful professionals who have not only reached the peak of level 6, but even surpassed level 6 and set foot in a more mysterious and unknown realm, but they are still mortals.

There is an essential difference between gods and mortals, and no one has ever been able to cross that boundary.

But Nicole Ceylan's next words broke the perception that Pete and the others had always had:

"The two men in black robes told mother."

"With the help of the divine artifacts left over from the past, although mortals cannot overcome the gap between themselves and gods, they can... awaken the great beings of the past."

"My mother followed the instructions they provided."

"Strict and complex steps, precise and special rituals." "A great being named Resti Macy has been awakened. The authority He holds is an illusion that blurs the boundary between reality and illusion."

Pete felt his heart skip a beat.

The old beings awaken from their long sleep.

Why does he feel like this plot is a little familiar?
Nicole continued:

"The mother tried to create an illusion of the father. She succeeded, but she also failed."

"My father did appear in front of her and me, who was still a baby at the time, once again, but he had no independent consciousness and was like a puppet, controlled by my mother."

“My mother wasn’t satisfied with just stopping there.”

"She wanted the Sepp Skov she had loved so deeply, the man with his own personality and consciousness."

"So, she began trying again and again to create the husband she remembered."

"..."

After listening to Nicole's description, Pete pondered for a moment and said puzzledly:

"But why did her attempt lead to Ceylon Territory becoming what it is now?"

As he spoke, Pete pointed upwards, indicating the outside of the dungeon.

Pete had also used the magic of illusion, but he had never experienced such a terrible situation with heaven and earth changing drastically, eternal night, and monsters everywhere.

The girl Nicole looked unhappy:

"That's what I'm going to tell you right now."

"Those two men in black robes gave my mother the artifact to awaken the Goddess of Illusion, but... there must be something wrong with that artifact!"

"The mother holding the divine weapon cast an illusion spell with very abnormal effects."

“The illusions she creates change people’s perceptions and can even have an impact on reality.”

"Mr. Winnekes, the old butler of the castle, actually died more than three years ago."

"Since then, my mother has used illusions to create a loyal and powerful Winnex."

"He has no emotions, and will only obey his mother's orders unconditionally, managing the castle and eliminating intruders."

The believers of Seeking Knowledge deeply agree with this.

They had just finished beating Winnekes not long ago.

The "silent" illusion version of Winnekes is indeed a ruthless man of few words. You must never let your guard down for a moment during a battle, otherwise you will probably be caught in a flaw and have your throat slit and be killed instantly.

No wonder this guy didn't say a word until he died. Even when seriously injured, he could still release the group [Sleeve Arrow Storm] full of energy. The more serious the injury, the more fierce the attack.

It turns out that he didn't want to talk, but he just didn't have the heart to do it!

"Using a divine artifact to cast such a powerful illusion will have an irreversible impact on the Goddess of Illusion."

"This is what the man in black robe told my mother in advance."

"Every time she uses the power of the artifact, the Goddess of Illusion will be contaminated by the void."

"When the pollution accumulates to a certain extent, He who is awakened from His long sleep will degenerate into a thoroughly evil god."

"Mother's continued attempts mean the goddess is being influenced more and more."

"If we can't stop my mother in time, the Goddess of Illusion will probably face the worst possible situation."

"Now is the last chance to save everything!"

"Heroes, please!"
