You are all my wings...

"Even so, in my current state, I am still within your soul. With such a double obstacle, it would be very difficult to trigger the ascension ritual, wouldn't it? Moreover, since the goddess Astalia is not here, without the ascension ladder, it is impossible to break through this barrier."

Faced with two evils, Ophimosa could only choose the delaying strategy, which seemed to minimize the damage.

Fortunately, since both of them were in a virtual state, their communication was very fast. What seemed like a long conversation actually involved a lot of information exchanged in a short time.

“Ophie, time is limited. What I need now is for you to trust me enough and then try to trigger the divine enlightenment right now. As for the risks and safety that come with carrying me on your shoulders, you can’t change it no matter how much you worry. Besides, I know my situation, so you don’t need to worry unnecessarily.”

After exchanging a few words, Lyon realized that Ophie Marceau was still worried about the risk of failure, so he could only say this.

Ophimosa paused, then smiled helplessly: "Alright, darling, since you put it that way, I'll play along whether it works or not. But we have to make this clear: if I fail, don't be foolish. Compared to the cruel ending of your soul exploding during the tribulation of becoming a god, I'd rather you just be sustained by the information flow until your soul is injured, so you'll have a chance to recover later, right?"

"Okay, I agree."

Leon nodded: "Trigger it as soon as possible. Although we can communicate quickly, the longer we drag it out, the less confident I will be. Now, pay attention to the changes in your body!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ophimosa felt a strange power being transmitted by Leon, flowing back and forth in her information stream.

She could hardly describe the feeling, but after the power arrived, she felt the window to godhood immediately break open.

Originally, she was inside Lyon's soul, and the enlightenment of becoming a god, which she should have been unable to perceive, became tangible. A strange blessing force arose from the void, penetrating all kinds of boundaries and slowly approaching the information flow of Ophimaso's avatar.

Immediately afterwards, a massive aura surged forth, and a vast stream of information originating from the Infinite Sea converged upon her.

Immediately, the illusory image of Orpheus in the form of an information stream slowly solidified.

In an instant, dark clouds filled Lyon's soul, which was as dark as emptiness, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

At the same time, Hamra and Camille also noticed the strange signs around Leon's body. A series of even more powerful anomalies distorted space and time, forming large areas in the air above Leon's location, which also attracted the attention of the powerful figures who had not yet left.

Chapter 571 The Soul of Orpheus

Ophimosa was surprised that triggering the divine enlightenment was much easier than she had anticipated.

It seems this is what Leon meant when he said that because he had transformed into an information flow, it was easier for him to regain his position.

However, precisely because it is easier to regain his status, Leon will be in greater danger when the tribulation of becoming a god descends later, right?

With these concerns in mind, Ophimasso diverted some of her attention to the movements of Leon's soul while focusing on receiving the messages of enlightenment.

Soon, as she digested a large amount of knowledge, she discovered that a vast amount of memories hidden deep within her soul were surging forth.

In an instant, Ophimaso felt as if she were a small boat adrift on a vast ocean, her own memories swallowed up by the memories of several centuries, becoming barely visible.

This feeling is very strange.

It's like someone suddenly passing through tens or hundreds of millions of lifetimes that ordinary people experience. When time comes to an end, perhaps all those heart-stirring moments that were etched in her heart will become insignificant.

The agonizing feeling of impending loss of all the wonderful moments she had spent with Leon shattered her, and her heart inevitably clenched.

'The thing I feared most has happened.'

Ophimosa's beautiful face twisted slightly.

Because she has had the experience of having two personalities controlling her own state, she knows even better how terrifying it can be when she loses control.

Her father, Emperor Tuerlongye, initially explained to her that her second personality was a consequence of forcibly sealing her rapidly growing power in the past.

But now it seems that this second personality may be a personality imprint left over from her previous life as the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Perhaps she was herself in her past life and now, but she started this life almost from a blank slate. If the personality formed in her past life clashes with her present one, how should she deal with it?

She held tightly to the deepest memories in her heart, trying to avoid being overwhelmed by the overwhelming waves of memories from her past life.

Of all these memories, those with Leon were undoubtedly the most vivid, so she tried desperately to recall them and remember them to prevent forgetting them.

Time flew by as she guarded against the impact of her past life memories while receiving enlightenment and advancement.

Will Leon notice the changes in me?

……

30 minutes later.

The tribulation of becoming a god fell upon the information stream around Ophimaso in the form of lightning, but it was all neutralized by the infinite sea information stream around it, which Leon controlled.

As for how he was able to manipulate these infinite ocean information flows, the method is actually quite simple: conceptual deception.

What he did was deceive his own consciousness into believing it was 'part of the Infinite Lord'.

This may seem very difficult and costly, but in reality, since what he is currently producing is only a product of the division of his consciousness, the total amount is not large, so the consumption will be reduced.

Furthermore, his soul connection with Ophimaso is already very deep, making him even more convincing when he activates Deep Miracle Mode.

Therefore, his use of such deceptive rhetoric actually did not consume much energy.

That's why he was much more at ease when he learned that Ophima was the Lord of Infinity, because he had more room to maneuver.

However, even so, the problem has not been solved.

Because his consciousness was not strong enough, he could only manipulate a limited amount of the information flow from the Infinite Sea. Therefore, he could only use a portion of it temporarily. As Ophimaso continued to recover her memories and position, and his own pressure increased, simply being able to manipulate this portion of the information flow would still not solve the problem.

Therefore, he has another method, which is to use the deep sharing mode and the deep sacred mode to select a batch of high-quality infinite sea information streams, thereby absorbing them into his own consciousness to enhance his spiritual power and form an effective positive cycle.

This way, you can have greater endurance.

Of course, Lyon's current state of consciousness is still not capable of changing the overall situation. He still has to wait for Orpheus to regain his status and bring the chaotic Infinite Sea back together to avoid completely bursting himself after a period of time.

It is worth mentioning that during this period, he could also see that the mental strength attribute on the panel was continuously increasing, increasing by 1 point almost every minute, which was quite remarkable.

This also shows just how terrifying the Infinite Goddess's peak strength is. She can increase her power so much just by casually consuming some of it. These Infinite Sea information streams can be considered her assets.

However, at the 39th minute, Lyon gradually realized the problem.

'Ophie's complexion, and the glimpses of information she was revealing, suggested she was going through some kind of difficult ordeal.'

Lyon's expression darkened slightly, and he immediately activated the Time-Space Miracle Divination Technique.

A moment later, he learned the answer.

'So, what's trapping Orpheus is still that second personality?'

With that in mind, he opened the panel and checked the mission records related to Ophimaso.

[Ophim Marceau's hidden main quest "The Two-Faced Princess" is currently 78% complete]

[Ophimazo's personal hidden mission "Heroic Bloodline" is currently 90% complete]

[Ophimazo's personal mission "The Crown" is currently 90% complete]

[Orpheus's solo quest "The Throne's Cause" is currently 23% complete]

Aside from the fact that the progress of the two missions, "Heroic Bloodline" and "Royal Crown," has increased by 90% compared to before the backsliding, the other two missions have stalled considerably, indicating that the initial assessment has not fundamentally solved Ophimaso's problem.

It's understandable, though. Originally, Leon was going to take Orpheus to the Holy Land to find the special divine creature, the Holy Soul Heavenly Cloud, as a material for Orpheus's advancement. However, due to the reverse flow, Leon missed Orpheus's advancement over the years, so even though she has been advancing one after another, the problem of her second personality has not been resolved.

'This was a miscalculation. I didn't expect Orpheus's restoration of his status and the impact on his second personality to be so enormous.'

'It seems the only way is to delve into the depths of Orpheus's soul and help her preserve this part of her memory. As long as her personality remains stable, she should be able to emerge from her cocoon and become a butterfly!'

Lyon divined for a while longer, then decisively cut off another part of his thought, strengthened it with conceptual essence, and then sent this part of his thought deep into the soul of Orpheus.

In other words, it has now become a case of dual soul intrusion.

……

A moment later, Lyon's thought successfully entered the depths of Orpheus's soul.

Then, he was shocked.

It was a boundless ocean of super information flow, and within this ocean, this thought was less than a paramecium, terrifyingly insignificant.

A mere ripple of information could overturn him.

'I see, I see!'

'No wonder Tayami Shiri said that because my soul was so compatible with Orpheus, I became the outlet for the Infinite Sea.'

'So Orpheus's soul is the Infinite Sea itself! The Forbidden Zone of Creation was merely a part of her soul!'

'Could it be that Orpheus reached a higher level than other lords of forbidden zones in his previous life?'

With a mix of realizations and new doubts, Leon controlled this split thought and began searching for the location of Orpheus's main personality.

Chapter 572 The Two-Faced Orpheus

To Leon's surprise, guided by a soul connection, he quickly found the main personality of Orpheus in the vast ocean of information.

It was a mysterious and enormous statue standing in the middle of the sea. Its body was convex and curvaceous, and its outer robe was noble and elegant. Every seam of the robe naturally emitted boundless divine light.

Next to the statue of the deity was a human figure of average height, with a face identical to that of Ophimás, but with a pained expression, as if enduring some kind of torment.

The two faces are very similar in nature, but in terms of temperament, the giant statue has a more domineering and imposing presence.

Although Ophie Marceau has a queen-like personality at heart, she gradually becomes more gentle after meeting Leon.

Therefore, although the two statues of different heights have the same face, Leon can still recognize which one is the version that is with him.

'From what I can see, that towering statue represents Orpheus's main personality, that is, the personality she had when she was the ruler of the Forbidden Zone. The one with the pained face next to her should be her modern personality, born in this era, but…'

Lyon observed for a moment, his heart sinking slightly.

Because he discovered that the boundless divine light emanating from the giant statue next door was slowly eroding Orpheus's modern personality.

Without a doubt, the personality she has developed a romantic relationship with is the modern-day Orpheus. If she were to be corrupted by her past personality, it would be impossible to predict what she would become.

The most relevant case study in this regard is that of Orahande and Keketi. After all, although the relationship between the main body and the alter ego is different, they can be compared to different personalities from different eras.

Based on my experience with all the Forbidden Zone Masters I've known in the past, they all share the characteristic of being absolute and uncompromising when they are at their peak.

It's even possible that if the modern-day Orpheus's personality is flawed, he might be completely digested.

In other words, it would be best to find a way to help Orpheus regain his current personality.

After quickly confirming what he needed to do, Leon began communicating with the temporary ideas on the outside, launching a conceptual deception, and simultaneously injecting more conceptual essence into the conversation.

The deceptive rhetoric is naturally targeted at the personality of the modern-day Orpheus:

'All your memories of being with Leon Belon will be the most secure memories deep within your soul, unaffected by other streams of information!'

Because the memories targeted were very precise, all of which were shared memories between Leon and her, the mental energy expenditure was barely manageable to maintain a balance.

With the addition of 20 points of Concept Essence, which cleared out one-fifth of the inventory, the pained expression of the modern Orpheus personality in front of him seemed to have eased considerably.

However, Lyon keenly realized that simply having a solid memory was not enough to solve the fundamental problem.

Because the Infinite Sea, a forbidden zone of creation, was refined into a soul, its inherent depth and terror are simply immeasurable.

With such a massive flow of information constantly cascading down, even the most solid memories can slowly rust.

Moreover, the modern Orpheus currently needs to devote some of his energy to overcoming the tribulation of becoming a god, and the mental energy required is considerable.

Immediately, Lyon transmitted a message to the modern version of Orpheus:

“Ophie, I have cast my self-created spell, the Wish Miracle Spell, on you. This is an extremely powerful spell. After I created this spell, the laws of the world changed drastically, and more than a dozen special phenomena occurred in the world, such as the resonance of the laws, the falling of black stars, the earthquake, and a hundred thousand thunderbolts. All these phenomena demonstrate the extraordinary nature of my spell.”

"But the premise is that you must firmly believe that you can withstand the erosion from your past personality that follows. You must have a very strong belief for this magic to work its magic!"

Those phenomena were, of course, fabricated by him by combining the phenomena that occurred during his past advancements, with slight modifications, and were essentially unrelated to the creation of this spell.

Why did he say that?

Because in the past, when he deceived people about various magics and skills, he would only describe those that had not yet been created, and he could only describe their specific effects and the principles he made up.

With this combination of his fraudster's blessing, the results have always been quite good.

But now that he has mastered this skill, any further benefits would be superfluous, so he decided to try a different approach.

That is to exaggerate your skills, making them as exaggerated as possible.

At this critical juncture of life and death, if Orpheus, as the lord of the forbidden zone, truly believes in it, the power of his spell might well receive a boost.

Meanwhile, the modern Orpheus personality, upon receiving Leon's message, immediately replied:

"Leon, are all these strange phenomena you mentioned things that arose when you created that magic?"

"right."

"So all I need to do now is believe? I don't need to do anything else?"

"Yes, if you haven't felt the blessing of this spell yet, it must be because you don't have enough firm desire and belief that you will definitely win this erosion."
