Chapter 146 (2/2)

In a magnificent room, a large crystal ball sat atop a table in the middle of the room. On the crystal ball were various scenes, including Claire.

“Oh? That girl seemed to notice we were watching her,” a young man in black stroked his chin, gazing into the crystal ball with interest.

“It doesn’t matter if she can sense us or not. In any case, she won’t be able to make it out of the Illusion Forest,” another young man dressed in black said, sounding bored. He sat leisurely in a nearby chair, his head resting on his arms as a pillow, his legs crossed as they rested on the tabletop. The two had the same handsome face; they were twins.

“That’s true, haha. Those fake as f*ck believers, always posing to be so righteous. They’re better off sinking into depravity in the Illusion Forest,” the first voice said, cold and full of contempt.

“But I’m a little curious. Will any of those Temple believers make it out?” the lazily sitting man smirked.

“Currently, none have. But what if one does? Are you going to try to rope them in?”

“If someone really does, then we’ll finish them off ourselves.” The voice was relaxed, but ruthless.

“Ahem…” A voice came from the door. “Xi Shaosi, Xi Shaoqi, didn’t I tell you two to pay attention? Is anything out of the ordinary?”

“Oh, Master, we found something interesting. This girl over here seemed to have sensed we were watching her.” Xi Shaoqi stood up and pointed at the crystal ball.

Xi Shaosi removed his feet from the table and sat up straight. “Master,” he said seriously, “To this date, no one has ever broken out of the Illusion Forest. Master’s magic formation is truly amazing.”

“It is the god of Darkness who is powerful.” The person at the door walked in slowly. It was an elderly man cloaked in black. He looked vibrant, his eyes gleaming.

“Of course, the god of Darkness is so much better than that fake goddess of Light. As long as you give, you receive; it’s just that simple,” Xi Shaoqi laughed.

“You brat, don’t talk so big. Careful you don’t anger the god of Darkness.” The old man swatted Xi Shaoqi’s head.

“Master, the god of Darkness wouldn’t be so petty. Afterall, he can’t be as petty as that xxxx goddess of Light.”

“Enough already,” Xi Shaosi said quietly, noticing something in the crystal ball. “Look, that girl has already entered the illusion. Let’s see how she’ll react.”

“What else could happen? All they ever do is kneel down and pray for the Light of the goddess to shine forever,” Xi Shaoqi sneered. All plants of the Illusion Forest were Dark attributed and gave off colorless, odorless gas. One someone breathes in this gas, they will see illusions targeting believers of the goddess of Light. The believers often see the goddess herself descending from the heavens, pure and unparalleled, who then gives orders to the believers to do pious acts, such as kneeling and praying and so on.

“That’s true. This forest cost our Temple of Darkness so much time and effort, it better be useful,” Xi Shaosi said indifferently.

“Humph, it’s about time the Temple of Darkness returns to glory,” Xi Shaoqi humphed coldly, crossing his arms. He too gazed into the crystal ball.

At this time, Claire had fully entered the illusion.

She stood there frozen, her gaze unfocused.

“My child, may the Light be with you.” The incomparably beautiful goddess of Light appeared before her, glowing with holy light, an ornate scepter in her hand, a dazzling golden crown atop her head, her gaze pure and elegant.

Claire watched the goddess of Light silently, indifferent.

“My child, let us pray together, let this world be filled with Light, peace, love…” The goddess of Light brandished the scepter and holy light illuminated Claire.

“Child? Since when did you give birth to me? How can the pure goddess of Light fuck another man and have a child?” Claire sneered. With a wave of her hand, a huge flame sword materialized. Without even blinking, she slashed the goddess of Light.

The expression of the goddess of Light changed to horror as she was immediately split into two, then disappeared.

“What a crude illusion!” Claire curled her lip in disdain. She withdrew the sword of flames, then continued onwards.

The three before the large crystal ball were dumbfounded, disbelief in their eyes.

“Wa-wasn’t she from the Temple of Light? How could she attack that illusion instantly? That’s the goddess of Light they believe in! Don’t they risk their lives for the goddess of Light? How could she be so ruthless?” Xi Shaoqi said hastily. He stared at the crystal ball, excited, yet also confused.
