The ship carrying Cheng Yu and the others had already entered the Shatla Occupied Zone, where the intensity of the fighting naturally dropped several levels.
But sporadic flashes of light still flickered "not far away," telling everyone of the exploits of the heroes on the Balchik battlefield.
Naturally, their ship encountered resistance as it advanced. Unidentified waves swept over it one after another, seemingly checking whether it was a friendly vessel.
Dile was drenched in sweat, his gaze fixed intently ahead. Perhaps the others did not know it, but he had already activated his ability, True Illusion.
This was Dile's ability: whatever he imagined would influence the outside world through all manner of factors. Right now, for instance, he imagined their ship passing safely through the Shatla Occupied Zone and reaching its center.
An ability like Dile's had two prerequisites-or perhaps it would be more accurate to call them weaknesses.
First, the more detailed Dile's imagined scenario was, the better the effect. For instance, now that he was imagining the ship passing through the Shatla Occupied Zone, he had to have an extremely clear understanding of every situation along the way, of every environment the ship would pass through. If there was a stellar system nearby, he had to know how each planet appeared from the ship's current perspective. Otherwise, flaws would emerge in the illusion he maintained.

Moreover, this "observation" had to qualify as being "observed" according to Dile's own understanding.
In other words, this so-called "observation" was subjective rather than objective.
By the same token, however, once True Illusion activated, it took
