The image froze at this mont when the world was perilously close to collapse.
The entire world only had seven nodes left, and the players rallied around these seven nodes for a final, desperate struggle.
Outside the world, the void’s assault waves had reached their peak and were about to recede.
At this mont, despite the void’s attack not weakening, as long as they could hold on, once the void completely traversed this world, the remaining void creatures would also leave.
However, with only seven nodes left now, the hope of saving the world seed increasingly bleak.
Staring at the frozen image, the shadow still stood atop the pitch-black high tower.
He was analyzing Kana’s secrets.
"Hmm, it’s indeed not through the river of ti, but rather, it intercepts the light of the river of ti and transforms it into mory, then traces back against the river."
He muttered to himself words that only gods could understand.
After analyzing the secrets, he finally turned his head to look at Kana.
"I thought you truly had the gift of prophecy, but it turns out you used this thod."
He had been misled by Kana’s title of "Prophet."
Mainly because Kana’s various actions indeed seed to demonstrate the ability of prophetic foresight, which led him to guess in that direction.
He always pondered how powerful Kana was to predict his actions.
Now the truth was revealed; from the beginning, he had been misled by external information, deviating from the correct thought.
He had gone wrong from the start.
"You definitely can’t be considered a prophet; it’s rely the interception and understanding of past information. The more you change things, the more unrecognizable the future will beco.
"The reason you seem to have the gift of prophecy is not because you can foresee the future, but because of your comprehensive mastery of various information and intelligence.
"It’s the false foresight presented by interwoven information and intelligence, but you did it so well that even I was fooled."
The shadow evaluated Kana this way.
This was a false impression caused by the asymtry of information between the two sides.
They were completely unaware of the information Kana possessed.
Yet Kana was thoroughly aware of them, knew clearly what they could do, how they would act, and what counterasures they had prepared.
For things they thought Kana was unaware of, Kana was actually well-inford and made targeted responses and preparations.
When their plans and backup asures were completely predicted and countered by Kana, because of Kana’s "prophet" title, they naturally assud the other party had the capacity of foresight.
This is just a normal way of thinking and had no flaws.
Perhaps secrets get leaked once or twice, but it’s impossible for secrets known only to oneself to be constantly exposed.
Thus, prophecy was used to explain, especially since the ability of foresight did exist in this world.
However, in essence, when a person has a broad enough understanding of intelligence and information, the effects shown are hardly different from prophecy.
And once leaving this world, the shadow would find Kana’s foresight ability vanish without a trace.
Because all of Kana’s intelligence information was derived from this world.
"Although different from what I anticipated, such a secret still satisfies . Savior of the world, perhaps you truly have the ability to preserve a glimr of hope for this world amidst the void’s destruction tide.
Hehe, I look forward to seeing such a scene in the future. I will co back then, anticipate it to your heart’s content, hahahaha."
For by then, the intelligence Kana knew would be rendered useless.
It would have exceeded the scope of information Kana grasped.
The surrounding illusion realm gradually faded, and the voice of the little fairy echoed in Kana’s mind.
He gently comforted the little fairy, then his consciousness began to surface.
In the real world.
On the execution platform, surrounded by shadows, Kana slowly opened his eyes.
"Don’t look so sullen. Didn’t I return your leader, the savior of your world, to you completely intact? Hahaha."
The shadow laughed heartily.
At this mont, Kana tugged off the shadows entwined around him, beginning to repair his own damage.
"What’s with those expressions of yours?"
The shadow looked puzzled at the people gathered around.
So people looked worried, others fearful, and the soldiers below had low morale.
These reactions were nothing out of the ordinary.
They worried whether Kana had fallen under the evil god’s will and was corrupted, feared Kana’s life might be tainted by the evil god, and were afraid the savior of the world would fall.
Even though Kana had already opened his eyes at this mont.
However, there were a few people who were particularly noticeable.
Just monts ago, the individuals who were so angry they wanted to tear the shadow to pieces now looked calm.
For example, Alyris.
Raelia and Abis stood by her side, who were trying to dissuade Alyris from acting impulsively not long ago.
Before Kana opened his eyes, Alyris was almost frantic, unleashing attacks on the shadow’s barrier regardless of everything.
Even knowing it seed to accomplish nothing.
But now, Alyris stood expressionless, staring at the shadow.
Raelia and Abis, who had just been stopping her, were montarily at a loss.
Perhaps it was because of Kana’s awakening.
Seeing Alyris in this manner, Kana should not have suffered too much trauma?
As the shadow, he keenly sensed sothing unusual.
He turned his head, looking at Kana, who was freeing himself from the shadow’s bind.
"Before taking action, I sensed danger, but I acted anyway. I assud it was the punishnt for prying into your secrets."
The shadow muttered softly.
In his view, Kana might be holding major secrets, and this was definitely not Kana’s own secret but very likely a sche of other high-level beings involving Kana.
His action to uncover secrets would certainly anger the other side.
So it’s reasonable to foresee danger.
For the evil god, what they pursued in essence would drive them to act at any cost.
To the shadow, not allowing him to uncover secrets was as if stripping away his reason for existence.
Like asking the blood god to give up their passion for combat and slaughtering; it’s simply impossible.
Because combat and slaughtering are fundantally the blood god’s essence.
As the exploration of secrets and disclosure was the shadow’s essence.
It was akin to the instinct for survival.
Yet now he exited Kana’s consciousness, and he did not suffer any punishnt.
So the mont he erged, any subtle change made him extraordinarily vigilant.
He sensed sothing was amiss.
Could it be that the danger arose only after uncovering the secrets?
Kana dusted off his body and said, "Yes, just like you ntioned in my mind earlier, I fully understand your actions in this world and the contingencies you prepared.
"So I was deliberately set as the bait, and you, without a doubt, would bite. Look, didn’t you just take the bait successfully?"
The silver trees broke through the silver floor, tightly binding the shadow, rendering him inescapable.
Yet the shadow did not struggle.
Because struggling was aningless.
The entire world’s power suppressed him.
Furthermore, the body he descended into had been tampered with, and now, the hidden intricate chanisms were triggered.
His will was trapped in this host body.
If given so ti, allowing him to carefully inspect his own body, he might have discovered the problem.
But previously, the state Kana presented was fleeting. He seized the fleeting opportunity without hesitation to take action.
In the race against ti, he had no ti to examine his own body.
He hadn’t even had the chance to contact the evil god who constructed his body; if he had made contact, he would have found it was no longer possible.
The urgency of ti and that fleeting opportunity ultimately wove into a vast net, ensnaring him.
Outside of the world.
The blood god appeared, kicking the shadow violently.
He began to hit soone when they were down.
He was delighted to do so.
From afar, the Explorer’s observation platform launched a shock wave of energy.
This energy struck the shadow’s body.
This blow surprised the blood god, causing him to glance back.
But it was irrelevant.
The combined forces of the blood god and Explorer propelled the shadow’s body into the world.
At that mont, the world withdrew its protective barrier.
The world’s protective power dissipated at this mont, no longer able to provide shelter for the world.
And the shadow’s power was directed inward, fully retracting into its descended body.
"I was indeed outmaneuvered."
The shadow murmured helplessly.
