Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 463 Pretending to be a God
"abyss……"

Mu Xiang murmured to himself, and then he heard his own inner voice.

The sound was particularly jarring amidst the chaotic and noisy background.

Zheng Zha was taken aback, and then he heard his own inner thoughts.

"What's going on?" Zheng Zha shouted to Mu Xiang. Logically speaking, in this noisy environment, the sounds should be confused, but both he and Mu Xiang could hear all the sounds clearly.

This isn't due to their superior cultivation level... quite the opposite, everyone in this abyss is forced to possess this ability. All voices become the focus, meaning there's no longer any distinction between primary and secondary, which is an extremely terrifying burden for anyone!

Only beings at the third rank or higher can handle this indiscriminate acceptance behavior through their powerful information processing capabilities.

“As I told you before, in this abyss world, all information is transformed into sound… I believe there’s a problem with the information mechanism of this world. Whether it’s spoken or thought, it becomes sound that spreads throughout the entire plane. And these sounds are distorted under the influence of the abyss, thus becoming a terrifying infection.”

Mu Xiang didn't speak. His mind raced, and all those words were transmitted as sound, which Zheng Zha then received.

"Oh, this is convenient..." Zheng Zha chuckled. "So this is where those bastards' hideout is."

Mu Xiang adjusted his glasses. Now that they were all at the fourth tier, they felt much more at ease fighting. Although back when they were only at the third tier, a single Great Old One couldn't corrupt them, Mu Xiang himself was still affected in the Abyss. Whether they would be corrupted by the Abyss now was uncertain, but it was definitely better than before.

“Consciousness cannot store information, and information can influence other things like mental consciousness… So this abyss is like everyone’s thoughts and consciousness are all mixed together, and unfortunately, the vast majority of consciousness is distorted.” Mu Xiang shrugged. “This is not a problem of one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch, but rather that we have a few grains of rice in a pot of bad apples.”

Zheng Zha said helplessly, "That is indeed very troublesome..."

"Heh, not everyone..." A cold laugh interrupted Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha's internal communication, "It's just because you don't have my rank, nor are you residents of the Abyss."

Black dolphins wriggled out of the dark void, and gray seashells, like giant mouths with fangs, slowly opened and closed. This was a seashell chariot carried by the dolphins. These amorphous black things were stuck together, but Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha knew at a glance that they were dolphins; and within the gray seashells was the gray-robed deity.

Nordens still maintained a dignified appearance, except for a touch of coldness on his face, making him resemble a proper deity from another plane.

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "Why don't you show your true form? It's no fun if you keep hiding it."

"I'll say it again...you're not qualified," Nordens said coldly. "You couldn't even resist this information leak, how dare you know anything more?"

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha exchanged a glance. Indeed, they had not seen or heard any information from Nordens... Apart from the previous "dolphin," no other information had spread.

"Playing tricks... Oh, you really are playing tricks, aren't you?" Mu Xiang drew his sword. "This probably has nothing to do with your realm, but rather with your identity. You're probably also a being from the Abyss, but compared to other Great Old Ones and Outer Gods, are you more rational?"

Nordens glanced at him noncommittally, and countless beings materialized around him. They were dancing sea gods, fairies, and mermaids, but they had lost their magnificent forms from the dream realm, now completely integrated with the abyss, appearing as nothing more than writhing darkness. Moonlight and crimson flames erupted simultaneously, tearing apart their formation. Yet they were not annihilated; whether cut by blades or scorched by flames, the wounds were quickly healed by the surging void.

Zheng Zha roared, "Boring!" The next moment, his three-headed, six-armed body swelled up and then turned into a blood-red armor.

Asura Battle Body!

Mu Xiang immediately understood Zheng Zha's intentions. He handed these things to Zheng Zha and then crossed the void, slashing at Nordens with his sword.

Nordens was well aware of the tactical division of labor between the two. Whether it was shouting or thinking, everything was manifested in the void without reservation, and then broadcast as sound in all directions. Just as he said, Mu Xiang and his companion could not resist the abyss's strange information mechanism, so once they started fighting, they could no longer hide anything.

The trident was swung once more, and a sea-blue light emerged again.

As the longsword clashed with the trident, Mu Xiang sensed that Nordens's strength was not to be underestimated. The only thing that could give him this feeling was the spirit tablet. And after each burst of immense force, an overlapping force followed closely, like endless waves crashing against Mu Xiang!

With his keen instincts activated, the power Mu Xiang poured into the blade also dispersed in waves, neutralizing Nordens's force one by one.

"Using your brute force to fight against my divine power... Foolish!" Nordens sneered, and then unleashed a burst of energy, shooting out a sea-blue light that sent Mu Xiang flying backward.

Mu Xiang flicked his wrist, and Ji Yue stood protectively in front of him, but he smiled silently.

Nordens was able to conceal his information, but didn't he also have a backup plan? The perspective of spacetime continued, and after entering the abyss, countless branches of time began to evolve, showing Mu Xiang endless possibilities.

He had already seen some information about Nordens, and as he had suspected, the so-called Nordens was just a pseudonym. The Nordens before him wasn't the real person either, but he was different from the avatar. However, within the spatiotemporal perspective, the true identity of Nordens would be interrupted at a certain point.

Mu Xiang began to doubt whether Nordens was truly a fifth-order being. If so, then without defeating him, he was indeed not qualified to know more.

"Fifth rank?" Nordens overheard Mu Xiang's thoughts. "You can't even defeat a temporary spirit tablet, and you're already considering the fifth rank? You're probably not actually interested in the god I mentioned, are you?"

"You talk too much," Mu Xiang said coldly. Ji Yue released her hand and circled around him, then touched her hands together and activated the candle. "Since you know you're a lackey, you should be prepared to be one."

The next moment, the golden figure vanished into the void. Nordens laughed loudly, raised his trident upwards, and waves surged forth, reaching the sky with water to block the downward slash of the moon.

"Dare to take my blade in this position?" Mu Xiang said, then the golden light around him vanished, all flowing into the blade. "Get down!"
