Don't call me evil god

Chapter 379: Human power is limited

The Countess of Ceylon is already middle-aged, but there is no sign of childbirth on her face and body. She is still as graceful and beautiful as ever.

She was like a woman favored by God. The passage of time and the invasion of years could not leave any trace on her.

When approaching her, every step forward would cause all sorts of phantom beasts, some ferocious, some hideous, and some sinister, to appear out of thin air and attack her with angry roars.

But their "bodies" turned into streams of light and shattered before the attacks hit them.

Countless brilliant lights bloomed in the meditation room, illuminating this dim room with brilliance, like a fairyland.

Not far away, Nicole Ceylan clasped her hands in front of her chest and continued to chant prayers belonging to the art of illusion, eliminating all the dangerous illusions created unconsciously by the countess one by one.

Yes.

When Brandon walked firmly towards the Countess step by step, he realized that the other party might not be aware of what was happening in the outside world.

Frigga Ceylon Skov, a powerful 5th-level archmage and a "loyal" believer in the God of Illusions, frowned slightly and closed her eyes.

"She may be indulging in the world she has built with illusions."

Pete followed closely and came to Brandon's side, recognizing him for a moment.

This scene seemed familiar to him.

Pete 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 Bliss, unwilling to break away from their false illusion.

"Perhaps, the fantasy she constructed was a world line where her husband never left and her family was happy and complete."

"Unfortunately... the false beauty imagined by mortals cannot possibly be equated with reality."

As he spoke, Pete slowly reached out and touched the exquisite, pure black gem that the countess was holding in her palm.

Removing the gemstone was easier than anyone expected.

The Countess of Ceylon offered no resistance.

She didn't even set up any automatically triggered counterattack array.

The gem was taken away, and a long sigh was heard in the meditation room.

"Why... do you want to stop me?"

The Countess of Ceylon slowly opened her eyes, her eyes bright and her gaze swept over the seekers of knowledge in the meditation room.

……

"Illusions cannot replace reality. In any case, we cannot let you continue."

Although he knew that he was facing a Level 5 warrior who could kill him in an instant with just a wave of his hand, Brandon still spoke firmly.

"The gods are about to collapse and fall. The people of Ceylon are suffering from disasters. They have paid such a huge price just to fulfill your illusory wish."

“Are you being a little too selfish?”

The Countess of Ceylon shook her head slightly.

“You… are wrong.”

"It's not vain, and it's not selfish."

Her eyes began to lose some focus.

"The further you go on the path of a professional, the more you realize that the power of mortals is limited."

"Mage?"

"Low-level wizards can use magic to accomplish things that once existed only in imagination."

"Lighting, making fire, condensing water, cooking..."

"The magic network seems to be omnipotent."

"High-level mages have become even more powerful."

"Distort space, affect time, travel through dimensions..."

"But we are still human."

"Magic is just a part of the power that gods share with mortals. Even a powerful 5th or 6th level wizard cannot touch the true meaning of the arcane."

"True power always belongs to the gods themselves."

"All mysteries and endless power belong to the gods." "The illusion magic that mortals can master is just the tip of the iceberg of the goddess' power."

At this point, the Countess of Ceylon's tone suddenly became heavier.

“I have witnessed a miracle happen!”

“A great being shared His supreme power with me, allowing me to complete a miracle that truly made up for reality with illusion!”

"This kind of authority really exists. It is not an illusory dream!"

"The reason why I can't do it now is that I haven't grasped the true meaning of God's authority!"

"But if you let me keep going, one day, I will have power comparable to that of a god!"

"..."

The Countess's fanatical words reached Pete's ears, and he was startled.

"Really using illusions to make up for reality?"

"What's the meaning?!"

Countess Ceylon turned her gaze to Nicole Ceylon, who was standing tired at the door of the meditation room, and her eyes became gentle.

"Nicole, my daughter."

"You are the miracle in this world."

Nicole was stunned.

Pete and the others were also stunned.

The Countess said slowly and softly, "Nicole, do you know?"

"Your father, my love...he actually left this world 16 years ago."

Pete's eyes suddenly widened!

He suddenly realized an extremely critical issue!

When the young girl Nicole explained to them, she said that her father, the Countess's husband, Sep Skov, died in the year she was born.

Nicole Ceylan is just 14 years old this year!
There is a two-year gap in time!
The Countess of Ceylon continued softly:
“I was very sad at that time.”

"Sep left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to say goodbye to him, or even leave him a trace of Skov's bloodline."

"I am ready to leave this world with him."

“However, there was a great being who called himself Resti. He appeared before me when I was saddest and most desperate.”

"With His help, I personally accomplished a...miracle."

"My dear Sep has returned to my side. It's as if he had never left. He stayed with me peacefully until... your birth."

"The great being named Resti told me at the beginning that the miracle of bringing Sep back to life has a time limit."

"This miracle can only last for two years at most."

“Two years later, I witnessed the passing of Thurp once again.”

"But at least I already know that there are ways in this world to reverse reality and change the future!"

"I spent a lot of time searching until...the two men in black robes came to me with the artifact."

"Use the divine weapon to call the gods back to their positions, and - obtain the power that truly belongs to them!"

“I’m almost there!”

"When I fully master His power, dear Sep will come back to me again. I can even use this power to change more and reverse other desperate realities!"

"I know about the disaster outside."

"But that's nothing."

"As long as I can master the power that truly belongs to the gods, all disasters will be nothing but illusions. I can rewrite and eliminate them at any time!"

"You guys...are you going to continue to stop me?"
