Room 304, third floor, Good Home Hotel.
Ling Yi knocked gently on the door three times. After a while, the door opened, and a plump middle-aged woman in her fifties came out.
"More defense force personnel? Come on, you come here eight hundred times a day, can't a person get a proper rest?"
She speaks fluent Chinese with a standard local accent; no one would guess that this woman is a foreigner at heart.
Does Mystique Imitation, after Shapeshifting, not only Imitation other people's appearances but also their language systems?
However, this is not mentioned in the original novel. Perhaps in the author's view, the whole world speaks the Ancient Country language, so there's nothing wrong with that.
"Hi Raven, my name is Li Cheng. I think we might be able to talk."
"What Raven? What are you talking about? You've mistaken me for someone else!" the middle-aged woman asked in surprise.
As she spoke, her eyes swept over Ling Yi from head to toe, her face full of scrutiny and disdain.
It has to be said that Raven's acting skills are truly amazing. Her expressions, eyes, and even the smallest body movements are all incredibly realistic.
The performance was absolutely flawless.
Look, that's what acting looks like. I can't even play Xiao Longtao.
"Breaking through the dimensional barrier and invading the world was actually a conspiracy. Erik thought he had found the ideal world for Mutants, but it was all a deception."
The middle-aged woman sighed. The other party had clearly identified her and knew them well, given how far things had gone.
He flung open the door and said in an icy voice, "Come in and talk!"
Ling Yi didn't stand on ceremony and went straight into the room.
With her back to the door, the Mystique Raven gently closed it behind her. A dagger appeared in her hand, and she plunged it viciously into Ling Yi's the Back.
But Mystique's attack missed its mark, and the dagger, along with Mystique's body, passed right through Ling Yi.
Due to her habit, the Mystique leaned forward, but her powerful control allowed her to quickly Immobilization.
It turned out that this was just an image Clone created by Ling Yi using Illusion Creation.
This image Clone also flickered and disappeared after Mystique's attack.
Ling Yi's voice followed immediately from behind Mystique.
" Raven, calm down, I'm not your enemy."
But Mystique didn't turn around, flipped her dagger and stabbed behind her again, but this time she hit nothing but air.
Immediately afterward, another Ling Yi figure appeared in front of Mystique.
"Don't be so agitated. This world isn't as simple as you think. Aren't you curious why that mysterious being chose Magneto Erik?"
Mystique arched her back slightly, maintaining a defensive posture, her body tense, as if she were about to launch a sudden attack.
At this moment, Mystique had transformed into her true form, which was her blue-skinned state.
To be honest, seeing it up close is quite frightening, because in the human subconscious, the more colorful something is, the more dangerous it is.
The skin of the blue cesium is indeed not in line with normal human aesthetics.
However, her figure is indeed quite good.
Ling Yi didn't care about Mystique's attitude at all, and instead turned around and sat down on the sofa.
"I believe you've gained some understanding of our world over the past few days. While you Mutants are powerful, you are still no match for us Awakened."
"This isn't Heaven for you Mutants, it's Hell."
This world isn't just Hell within the X-Men World, but Hell for all Fantasy World.
Mystique remained silent, her expression Changes, still watching Ling Yi warily. A strange, faint glow emanated from her blue skin.
Ling Yi knew that Mystique was trying to use her powers to record his image and genetic information.
This is Mystique's habit.
Each additional record of her appearance and genetics will become part of Mystique's foundation.
In the setting of this novel's world, Mystique is extremely powerful.
Especially after reaching level 5, Mystique's abilities were elevated. Her X Mutant Gene not only allowed her to record other people's appearances and genes, but also to completely Imitation their abilities.
It's practically a bug in the system.
However, in the end, he was "defeated" by the powerful Protagonist Aura, not only giving away his own Superpower Crystal but also dying to save the Protagonist.
This brings us to another setting of this world.
Why is this world described as Hell for all Fantasy World?
One of the key concepts is that the moment everyone breaks through the dimensional barrier, their own power is already being modified by the rules of that new world.
Whether they are cultivators or Ability User, Magic Mage or warriors of Battle Qi.
Even ordinary people can have all their abilities, energy, and spirit Fusion into a rhombus-shaped crystal.
The crystal is located in the sea of Spiritual Sense, in a semi-real, independent space.
The Superpower Crystal in the companion world refer to this.
However, most of the Superpower Crystal in the companion world only contain pure energy, which can improve the level of the Awakened; only a very few Superpower Crystal retain supernatural abilities.
While the invaders who break through the dimensional barrier also possess Superpower Crystal, defeating them only grants experience points and does not yield Superpower Crystal.
Therefore, in the minds of most Awakened, invaders do not possess Superpower Crystal.
Actually, it's not that they don't exist; rather, some of the invaders' Superpower Crystal are converted into experience points for Awakened, and some are converted into energy, merging into this world.
Unless the intruder actively Summon and gives away the Superpower Crystal.
And this secret is known only to the Protagonist.
Throughout the novel, the Protagonist, thanks to his powerful Protagonist Aura, is gifted Superpower Crystal seven times by the antagonists in these Fantasy World.
This is what makes the Protagonist become increasingly powerful.
The Protagonist is a transmigrator who has a special affection for the characters in these Fantasy World. Therefore, unlike the native Awakened of this world, he is not hostile towards these Fantasy World characters.
Ling Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "Your world is just one of countless worlds. It's not just your X-Men World that has broken through dimensions and invaded our world."
There are many worlds far more powerful than yours.
Ruiwenzhong frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Are you asking why that mysterious person would do that?"
Mystique remained silent, her gaze fixed intently on Ling Yi.
" What If...? you have a neighbor who lives a life of hardship and poverty, while everyone around him is happier and richer than him," Ling Yi said slowly.
This made the neighbor very resentful, so he hatched a malicious plan. He told a lie that there was a huge treasure hidden in his basement.
"But he couldn't develop this treasure by himself, so he invited all his neighbors to come and dig for it in his house."
Mystique frowned. "An invitation?"
"That's right, he invited everyone in the neighborhood, and initially went through all sorts of disguises to prove the treasure's existence."
He successfully fooled the first group of neighbors, and then more and more people believed in the existence of the treasure, until all the neighbors were involved.
Do you think these neighbors will start fighting while they're digging for treasure?
There are two time travelers in this world, if we don't count Ling Yi, of course.
One of the time travelers is the Protagonist, while the other is the poor neighbor that Ling Yi mentioned.
Both characters have cheat abilities; the Protagonist's cheat ability is Turtle Speed Force, or more accurately, the Protagonist Aura.
The "neighbor's" cheat code is a system.
A system that gives you the main quest right from the start.
The emergence of Awakened and interdimensional invasions in this world, including the New Year's Eve incident in the companion world, were all actually orchestrated by this "poor neighbor" in secret.
His strength increases by one point for each neighbor he tricks into joining the fight for the treasure.
Moreover, this guy is very Old Liu and has been hiding his true self all along.
Every now and then, he would secretly go to other "neighbors'" houses to reveal that they had a treasure.
And they actively help these "neighbors" open back doors, breaking down the barriers between dimensions.
However, this is a truth that the Protagonist gradually uncovers in the later stages of the story.
Ling Yi has now essentially given away another spoiler.
Mystique then spoke up, "But this 'neighbor' you're talking about isn't poor at all, and the 'treasure' is real."
Ling Yi shrugged and said, "But these treasures didn't originally exist. This poor neighbor secretly stole or robbed them from other neighbors' houses."
"When he steals and robs everything from everyone's homes, these neighbors will become completely useless, Emotionless abandoned by him, and perhaps even..."
Ling Yi didn't say exactly what it was, but Raven understood what Ling Yi meant.
"Even, destruction?" Raven frowned.
The treasure Raven spoke of was actually the energy state of this world.
Whenever a Fantasy World breaks through the dimensional barrier and becomes an invading world, the energy level of this world will increase by one point.
The more worlds invaded, the higher the world's energy level becomes.
If the energy level of the X-Men World is 3, then the energy level of this universe is 9.
Moreover, the energy form of this world is of great benefit to both those with Ability User and those who cultivate immortality.
Take Raven for example, her current power level is only level 4.
After arriving in this world, he reached level 4 Perfection in less than half a day, and the next step is level 5.
Level 5 superpowers are already incredibly powerful in the Mutants world; even Magneto Erik, is only at level 5.
This rate of improvement is practically a treasure trove for invaders, isn't it?
If Raven can continue to improve like this, her strength will naturally become incredibly powerful.
However, Raven's strength will only remain at level 4 Perfection; it's impossible for her to advance to level 5.
This so-called "treasure" is actually just bait thrown into these Fantasy World.
Raven was unaware of this.
She was sent to this world by Erik to verify the true identity of the "treasure." Once it is confirmed that the "treasure" is real...
Raven will then hold out for 24 hours until the dimensional barrier decay ends, at which point the X-Men World will become a true invaded world.
By then, even if they discover the "treasure" is fake, the intrusion channel will have already been opened and is irreversible.
