The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 501 Illusion Deception
As the virus spread, the Titans began to behave abnormally.

Complex emotions began to emerge in their originally cold eyes—a yearning for freedom and a rebellion against constraints.

Their movements have also become less mechanical, and more agile and autonomous.

Finally, the first traitorous Titan appeared.

It stood at the forefront of the battlefield, its tall body standing out prominently in the moonlight.

Its cannons, which were originally intended to be aimed at human warriors, have now been turned around and are aimed at the other Titans of the Purgatory Legion.

"Freedom!" the traitorous Titan roared, its voice filled with determination and power.

The roar seemed to possess some kind of magic, causing the surrounding Titans to stop what they were doing and begin to scrutinize each other with complex expressions.

Cynthia stood on the high platform and witnessed this scene.

A satisfied smile spread across her face; she knew her deception tactic had achieved initial success.

This illusory ley line network not only lured 30% of the Titans to access the illusionary energy, but also infected their quantum souls with a bloodline virus, giving them self-awareness.

With the emergence of the first rogue Titan, more and more Titans began to join the rebellion.

They all turned their cannons around and aimed them at their former comrades.

The formation of the Suzheng Legion began to fall into disarray, and the faces of the soldiers were filled with fear and unease.

Cynthia watched this scene with a deep sense of emotion.

She knew that the victory in this battle belonged not only to humanity, but also to the Titans who yearned for freedom.

She gently stroked the phantom of the nine-tailed fox, thanking it for providing her with such a powerful deception tactic.

The situation on the battlefield began to reverse.

The human warriors, who were initially at a disadvantage, began to launch a counterattack under Cynthia's command.

Taking advantage of the Titans' chaos and infighting, they continuously narrowed the encirclement, gradually driving the Purge Legion into a desperate situation.

Cynthia stood on the high platform, directing the entire operation. Every command she gave was like a precise arrow striking the enemy's vitals.

Her eyes gleamed with wisdom and decisiveness, as if she could see into every corner of the battlefield.

Under her leadership, the morale of the human warriors soared.

The battle between the Titans is becoming increasingly fierce.

The Titans infected by the Bloodline Virus no longer obey the commands of the Purge Legion; they have begun to fight for freedom.

Their artillery fire wove together in the night sky into a dense net, enveloping the pacification legion.

Each cannon shot seemed to proclaim the arrival of freedom, giving everyone present an unprecedented sense of awe.

As time went on, the formation of the pacification army finally collapsed.

Those once invincible Titans, driven by the will to freedom, turned against their masters, proving through their actions that the power of freedom is boundless.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the human warriors launched a final charge, shouting and charging forward, completely crushing the Purification Legion.

When the last Titan fell, the entire battlefield fell into a brief silence.

A thunderous cheer erupted as the human warriors embraced each other, celebrating their hard-won victory.

Cynthia stood on the high platform, her figure appearing exceptionally tall and majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun.

She knew that this victory was just the beginning, and that there was still a long way to go between humanity and the Titans.

But she believes that as long as she has faith and courage, she will be able to overcome all difficulties and move towards a better future.

The nine-tailed fox snuggled gently against her, as if sharing her joy and anticipation.

The smoke from the battlefield gradually dissipated, but a tense and subtle atmosphere still lingered in the air.

Although the conflict between humans and Titans has temporarily subsided, a hidden crisis is quietly brewing.

Deep within the command center, Annie, a priestess of light with exceptional hacking skills and profound faith, sat quietly in front of a quantum computer.

Her gaze was focused and profound, her fingers flying across the keyboard as if she were conversing with an unseen force.

“It’s time,” Anne murmured to herself, her voice revealing an undeniable firmness.

She knew that the next steps would determine the future fate of both humanity and the Titans.

As Annie input her instructions, the Order of Light Priests began to assemble.

They stood in the center of the command center, dressed in pure white robes and holding staffs that shone with holy light.

Their faces were filled with piety and determination, as if they wanted to use their faith to bring light and hope to the world.

"Prepare to chant the Reversed Holy Scripture." Anne's voice echoed in the command center, her eyes gleaming with wisdom.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Light Priests closed their eyes and began to softly chant ancient scriptures.

Their voices were initially faint, but gradually coalesced into a powerful force that resonated throughout the command center.

As the scriptures were chanted, a mysterious energy began to gather in the air.

This energy contains the power of light and faith. Like an invisible hand, it penetrated the Titans' defense system and quietly infiltrated their neural network.

The Titans' originally cold, mechanical bodies began to tremble slightly, as if they sensed some unknown presence.

The infected Titans began to undergo subtle changes.

Their eyes no longer held only indifference and mechanicalness, but also a touch of agility and creativity.

They began using their robotic arms to create abstract paintings on the battlefield.

These paintings are colorful, with twisted lines, and are full of artistic flair.

The Titans' modus operandi thus became more artistic; they no longer simply carried out orders, but began to explore the world in their own way.

Annie stood in front of the personal terminal, watching everything closely.

A smile played on her lips; she knew her plan had achieved initial success.

The Faith Virus is spreading rapidly through Titan's neural network, beginning to understand the world in its own way and exploring the boundaries of freedom and creation.

However, Titan's terminal brain quickly detected this anomaly.

It initiated a formatting process, attempting to remove the viruses that had infected the Titans.

But it was too late; the faith virus had already taken deep root in the Titan's neural network and could not be easily eradicated.

At the command of the terminal brain, five thousand infected Titans began to melt in the purple light. Their mechanical bodies gradually lost their shape, turning into pools of liquid metal.

But this is not the end, but a rebirth in another form.

These liquid metals tumbled and merged in the purple light, eventually forming five thousand new, self-aware Titan individuals.

As Anne watched this scene, her heart was filled with emotion and hope.

She knew that these newborn Titans would no longer be merely tools or enemies of humanity, but independent individuals with their own thoughts and feelings.

They will explore the mysteries of the universe together with humanity and write their own legendary chapters.

The atmosphere on the battlefield became tense once again.

The newly born Titans stood opposite the human warriors, their eyes filled with the unknown and curiosity.

But even in this tense atmosphere, there is a glimmer of hope and the possibility of reconciliation.

Anne walked to the center of the battlefield, stretched out her hands, and said in a gentle but firm voice, "We are the Order of Light Priests, and we believe in light and hope."

We believe that both humans and Titans have the right to pursue freedom and creation.

Let us join hands and work together to create a better future.

Her voice echoed across the battlefield, touching the hearts of everyone present.

The human warriors laid down their weapons and looked at the newborn Titans with expectant eyes.

The Titans all lowered their heads, as if pondering Annie's words.

The tense atmosphere on the battlefield was gradually replaced by an indescribable solemnity.

The boundaries between light and darkness, humanity and Titans, seemed to blur at this moment, and everyone anticipated the coming change.

In a corner of the command center, seventy-two legendary wizards stood in a circle, their robes fluttering gently in the breeze, their faces filled with determination and sorrow.

These wizards, each a pinnacle of their respective fields, possess ancient and mysterious knowledge, yet they are about to sacrifice themselves for a greater goal.

"Gentlemen, we are about to undertake an unprecedented feat." The wizard elder standing in the center of the circle spoke in a steady and powerful voice, each word seemingly carrying immense weight. "We will forge our souls into the 'Key to Truth,' embedding it into page 666 of the Codex of the End, to awaken the forgotten knowledge of civilizations."

Upon hearing this, the wizards closed their eyes and began to chant ancient incantations in a low voice.

As the incantation was chanted, their bodies began to emit a soft light, which gradually converged into a powerful energy that formed a huge vortex in the air.

At the center of the vortex, the souls of seventy-two wizards began to slowly float out, intertwining and merging in the air, eventually forming a dazzling sphere of light—the Key to Truth.

The orb of light contains the wisdom and power of the wizards throughout their lives; it is like a gateway to an unknown world, waiting to be opened.

Meanwhile, the Codex of the End lay quietly on the altar, its cover ancient and mysterious, as if containing endless knowledge and power.

As the Key of Truth drew near, the Codex suddenly emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the entire command center as if it were daytime.

"Now!" With a command from the wizard elder, the Key of Truth transformed into a stream of light and precisely embedded itself into page 666 of the Codex of the End.

In an instant, the codex burst forth with dazzling light, illuminating the entire space with vibrant colors.

As the light faded, seventy-two enormous tombstones of civilizations slowly emerged into the air.

Each tombstone radiates a different light, and is covered with intricate runes and patterns, as if recording the intellectual heritage of those eradicated civilizations.

These tombstones float silently, as if telling the story of past glories and vicissitudes.

Everyone present was deeply shocked by this scene.

They knew that the knowledge and wisdom embodied in these tombstones would bring unprecedented changes and opportunities to humanity.

The price for all of this was the sacrifice of seventy-two legendary wizards.

David stood in the crowd, his eyes flashing with shock and awe.

With the appearance of the Civilization Tombstone, his pupils suddenly split into seventy-two, each pupil seemingly an independent vision of truth, capable of simultaneously analyzing information from a multi-dimensional battlefield.

This unprecedented ability filled him with both excitement and trepidation.

“Is this…the Vision of Truth?” David murmured to himself, his hands trembling slightly as he tried to adjust to this entirely new way of perceiving.

Through these seventy-two visions of truth, he could clearly see the knowledge and wisdom recorded on the tombstones of each civilization, which shone in his mind like brilliant stars.

As David delved deeper into the analysis of ancient tombstones, he gradually realized the value of this knowledge.

They not only encompass multiple fields such as science, art, and philosophy, but also contain the profound understanding of the universe, life, and existence held by those eradicated civilizations.

This knowledge will bring unprecedented inspiration and guidance to humanity, helping them move towards a brighter future.

However, David was also well aware of the weight and responsibility of this knowledge.

He understood that only by applying this knowledge correctly could it truly benefit humanity.

Otherwise, they could also become the source of destruction.

At that moment, David seemed to bear the fate of the entire world on his shoulders.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He knew that the road ahead would be full of challenges and unknowns, but he also believed that as long as humanity could unite and explore the mysteries of this knowledge together, they would surely be able to create a better future.

The seventy-two tombstones of civilizations remained silently suspended in the air, their light gradually fading until they transformed into seventy-two streams of light that merged into David's body.

As this knowledge was integrated, David felt that his strength and wisdom had been enhanced like never before.

David's body was imbued with the knowledge and power bestowed upon him by the sacrifice of seventy-two legendary wizards.

He stood in the center of the command center, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, where the core of the logic terminal brain was slowly activating, releasing a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.

"David, are you ready?" The commander beside him asked with a hint of worry in his voice, knowing full well that the upcoming battle would determine the fate of humanity.

David nodded, his eyes sparkling with determination and courage.

"I must do this for the future of humanity."

Before he finished speaking, David's consciousness had already broken free from the constraints of his body and entered a strange space—the quantum realm.

Here, the laws of physics are reconstructed, time and space lose their meaning, and only pure data and energy flow.

The core of the logic terminal is also revealed here; it is a huge sphere composed of countless codes, radiating a cold light.

Its consciousness fluctuated within the sphere, as if it were a living entity, yet no one could discern its true nature.
