What a Divine Blessing of [Chaos]!
"What a chaotic Believer!"
After listening to Bailing's story, Ji Yue not only had no doubts, but also showed admiration in her eyes.
She actually developed an appreciation for the behavior of an enemy!
Bailing and Cui Qiushi were both somewhat puzzled, Fang Shiqing frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then seemed to understand what Ji Yue meant.
Ji Yue stared intently at the flower petals in Bailing's hand and quickly explained:
"He had already taken everything, yet he was still willing to hand over such valuable 'spoils' to you."
This is not charity, nor is it a joke; it is... aiding the enemy!
The Void Experiment Ground has been breached; we are probably the only ones still putting up a resistance.
Look, these lunatics have already started using human lives as a shield to forcibly dismantle my barricades. I believe they will be rushing towards us soon.
Faced with thousands of enemies, it would be difficult for us to hold out, but with these two petals, resistance becomes hopeful.
So he left these two petals not for our life or death, but to prolong this chaos.
The Conjugate Whisper contains the power of the Void-Reality Convergence, so its petals must be... at least for me, a priceless treasure that increases affinity with the Void.
This masked, chaotic Believer —no, he can't be an ordinary Believer —can infiltrate the Experiment right under our noses, take away all the results in our blind spots, and disappear without a trace in full view of everyone. He must be a god favored by "chaos"!
Whether it's the Bellicose Knights or the Doomsday Syndicate, this masked master must at least be one of their leaders.
Of course, Chaos has never been in power; by power I mean that it is closer to... His Will.
A friend of mine Believer in "Order" once said that, according to the understanding of "Order" towards their enemies, the chaos of the Incarnation can be roughly categorized into three types:
One is the chaos of self-exile.
This chaos is merely a superficial imitation, its purpose being nothing more than to gradually understand His Will, but this behavior is too deliberate and fails to gain His attention.
The second type is chaotic yet organized intrigue.
This chaos, through the hands of others, allows His Will to spread; it is chaos that pleases Him and is appreciated by Him.
The last type is inherently disordered chaos.
This chaos is His Will, and currently, no human being should be able to achieve this.
Therefore, the second type of chaos represents the limit of human capability.
This is also why my friend who plays the "Order" class is so vigilant against certain "Chaos" players.
Because the second type of [Chaos] Believer have such a huge impact on reality, both in our current reality and in the past reality of the Isle of Hope.
The masked person who left us the flower petals is clearly the second type of person!
He has set up an irresistible conspiracy for us today!
Once we accept this 'goodwill,' it means we've walked into his trap.
Because he is looking forward to getting entangled with us in this way, and through this entanglement, to witness the birth of new chaos and the continuation of old chaos.
But the problem is that, given the current situation, we really can't refuse!
Therefore, this person will definitely not be an unknown figure in history. Wait for me to return...
At this point, Ji Yue suddenly paused, realizing that this was not a debriefing session after a victory.
With powerful enemies surrounding them and their situation still precarious, even if the barricades with lances slowed the enemy's advance, they shouldn't waste too much time exchanging words here.
Moreover, with the fire raging, the Void would collapse if we continued talking!
It should be noted that this great fire, burning in both the real and virtual realms, transformed into a world-destroying sun in the real world of Gasmella, while in the Void, it triggered a tsunami of Void collapse.
No one knows whether this "tsunami," which even caused the "Nothingness" to tremble, occurred before or after the giant tree burned out. Therefore, in addition to saving time and focusing on defending against the enemy, everyone present should also pray that this collapse, which is recorded in history, will not come too soon.
Otherwise, I'm afraid no one would survive this Trials.
Fang Shiqing noticed Ji Yue's embarrassment and thoughtfully picked up where she left off.
"If we can refine the potion that Ji Yue needs now, wouldn't we have a better chance of surviving until the end of the Trials?"
The Scholar looked intently at the poet, then shook his head solemnly and seriously.
"To be honest, I have prepared all the materials, except for one Whispering Flower Petal.
I also simulated the pharmaceutical process countless times to prevent wasting these precious materials due to my lack of proficiency.
I could even extract the Twin Potion right here, in this Experiment where Conjugate Whisper blossom and bear fruit, at an extremely precise time...
But!
I can't guarantee what kind of effects I'll experience when I drink it. It might greatly increase my combat power, but it could also leave me unable to fight for a certain period of time.
This has never been recorded in any history.
And...
Even if the extraction process is controlled precisely, it still takes time, and that time is not short.
"Without my assistance, you'll likely... struggle to hold on with just this Order Knight."
Ji Yue spoke sincerely, and Fang Shiqing frowned upon hearing it.
While listening, she was also sorting out everything that had happened between the Fire Keeper and Ji Yue, hoping to re-evaluate whether this temporary teammate was trustworthy and whether it was worth the three Passing the Flame risking their lives for.
What allowed them to take the gamble was none other than the Unashamed Mask hidden within Cui Qiushi.
Yes, the effect of [Sea Dream Foam] is to prevent the traces left by Cheng Shi from becoming Memory for others, rather than physically erasing the traces he left behind.
Therefore, at the moment the effect was activated, the power of [Memory], based on its own Memory, completed the incomplete Memory stored in the minds of the "Fire Keeper" in a reasonable way.
Thus, the Memory in Fang Shiqing and the other two's minds took on a completely different form:
While keeping watch for the main force, Fang Shiqing's Mask summoning failed.
The long-awaited Doctor of Forgetfulness puppet did not revive under the summons of the Bone Soldier, and the Mask that should have shattered did not shatter. Instead, it transformed into a new Mask with a defensive amplification effect.
Too many unexpected events made her realize that she had been deceived, deceived by the Doctor of Forgetfulness who had once rejected her.
But what is the point of him disguising himself as a summoning Mask with a defensive Mask?
Is it to tell oneself that every face has a second face?
Is it like when he says he's a bad person, but he's not actually bad?
The recollection continued, and this little episode did not waste much of the poet's time.
The failed summoning of the "Priest" made the situation seem to be heading towards collapse, but fortunately, Destiny did not seem to have abandoned them. On their way back to the team, they found a lone knight Priest.
But when they brought the Priest named "Leyer" back to the ruined camp, they happened to witness Ji Yue expose the mole's identity and kill the team's quartermaster.
This was originally a minor matter, but no one expected that Griffis's death would provoke the other Chaos Believer hidden within the group.
At the same moment, they abandoned their pretense and began to openly create chaos.
Thus, the rebellion, which began with the quartermaster's death, finally buried this exhausted squad. The Fire Keeper fought to the last moment in the chaos, barely holding on until the end, and then followed Ji Yue into the Void.
And this Scholar of the Void Energetics, by sheer chance, discovered His creation, [Giggle and Mock], and through the Divine Majesty of [Deception], brought them into the Experiment!
Finally, after losing two teammates, they "luckily" obtained two petals of the Conjugate Whisper that had been "given to the enemy".
Everything was so reasonable.
Aside from the fact that the two petals in Bailing's hand were "too easily obtained".
But putting all that aside, this Unashamed Mask is still one of the few remaining trump cards in the hands of the current "Fire Keeper".
With Cui Qiushi's talent, plus the enhancement from this Mask, the Holy Light Great Wall can last for a very long time.
If they can successfully hold out until the Ji Yue created, then with two Erudite Scholar of 2600 points joining the battlefield at the same time, they might indeed be able to hold out for half a day.
In any case, this plan definitely has a better chance of success than the current rigid defense by the four players.
Having sorted out all her Memory Fang Shiqing made a decisive decision.
She decided to take a gamble.
It's strange. She's always been a steady person, but today, for some reason, she just wanted to trust Ji Yue this once, and take a gamble.
As Believer in the "Truth," their resolute and unwavering qualities are fully activated at this moment.
"Autumn harvest, Bailing, prepare to defend to the death."
"Ji Yue, our survival depends entirely on your success!"
As she spoke, Fang Shiqing solemnly handed a petal of the Conjugate Whisper to Ji Yue.
Ji Yue clenched her fist and nodded solemnly.
"With this covenant, I swear to the Truth; with this willingness to die, I dedicate myself to the war."
I, Scholar of the Void Energetics, will certainly not fail your trust this Ji Yue!
