Chapter 1720: Let me show you to your room
There was no way Lex was going to call himself the Innkeeper, even in a situation where he was sure he was going to win. The universe was full of things he couldn’t even imagine, so unless he was in the well-protected environment of the Inn, he was going to make no claims to that position.
Within the new hell that Lex had created under the name of the Abaddon Inn, Lex studied the Gon race member, analysing every single thought that went through his mind.
In truth, he had not teleported them anywhere. Instead, Lex had used all his recent experiences and amalgamated them into one of the most potent tools he could imagine - one that was even more devastating than pure, brute strength.
He had used the body as the prison, the soul as the prisoner, and the spirit as the conduit between the technique, himself and his target. There was only a single ultimate purpose of this technique: to break the target’s mind. Of course, it could be used for a myriad of other reasons as well.
Back then, Lex had used a mix of mental techniques and just simple lies to confuse Jeffery about the difference between reality and illusion, causing him to have a mental breakdown, and reveal critical information. He could only pull that off due to his extensive preparation and help from external sources.
Now, though, this technique served as a way to replicate that feat.
The Abaddon Inn only existed within the target’s mind, though it was very much a real place. In fact, Lex had used the fluid laws of Abaddon themselves, alongside the characters from the Book of Changes, to create this artificial place. Subsequently, everything that happened within here to the target would reflect in reality as well.
"You are a mere human," the Gon race member said, hiding the fear he was feeling from showing. "How dare you stand before me with such bluster? Your inferior race exists only to wash our blades with your blood. Kneel, and present yourself for judgment."
Lex felt a certain pressure on him once he heard the command, but it was hardly of any consequence to him. He could see how it might be difficult for normal humans to overcome, but it was no longer something he had to bother with.
