Chapter 185 (2): Omnipotent, Like a God
Wayne looked at the edge of Obed’s world and remembered what Filomina had said. Yes, the unscientific world was all lies. He would not fall for it!
The large eyeball in his chest turned off the filter, and he saw a completely different view: no sun and moon or mountains and rivers, and the starry sky and vegetation were false, too. The world of darkness was lifeless, empty save for the rolling mist that projected the falsehood.
The Book of Greed yearned for the mist, which he kept under control. No rush. Obed thought he was invisible, but Wayne knew he was getting close.
Wayne looked around with confusion and found Mona and Filomina at the edge of the world. The two women were fighting nothing with everything they had, and they were losing.
“You warned me about the illusion, but bought it yourself. Can’t blame me for fooling you so thoroughly.”
Wayne disparaged Filomina, failing to consider the reason he was able to see through the illusions. A legendary mage’s vitality field was vivid, and without the Book of Greed or the large chest eye, of course Filomina would fall for it. If one could ignore the illusion just because they walked into it convinced that it wasn’t real, why would legendary mages risk their lives to level up?
“A perfect body and the appearance of an ancient god. Perhaps you are the truth of life,” Obed marveled, sparing no compliments.
He knew Wayne couldn’t hear him. In this world, he was God, able to manipulate Wayne’s senses and consciousness. Wayne could only see or hear something with his permission.
Or so he thought.
“I’ll have your body.”
Obed reached out for Wayne, no longer interested in Kristen. A divine descendant with divine blood? She was nothing compared to an original bloodline that was evolving into an ancient god; anything related to an ancient god was incredible in value.
Swoosh!
