Chapter 1195 - 1195: D503. Heat Anomaly

"You adulterous couple, face your doom!"

A little girl, not yet as tall as the door handle, kicked open the thick solid wooden door, her childish joyous sound exploded in the room.

Her eyes shimmered with an evil glint completely incongruous with her age. The ring on her fingertip glowed faintly, deep magic power surged and brewed in her throat, then transformed into a simple yet fierce command.

"—Look into my eyes!"

[Mute Girl activates skill: Sin Song of Enchantment]

It was clearly the voice of a tender little girl, yet it was imbued with mind-bending magic power, the invisible will turned into spiritual compulsion, firmly gripping the listener's mind.

In this world where Magic Element is so thin as to be almost non-existent, ordinary human bodies almost lack magic power entirely, unable to resist such a force.

And just as she expected, at the instant her words rang out, the tense atmosphere of confrontation in the room suddenly softened. Three faces simultaneously turned, six pairs of eyes focused intently on the petite girl.

It was too easy.

Mute Girl sneered coldly inside.

Though this place was the Land of Oblivion untouched by predecessors, an Illusion Realm where Legendary Strongman's memories condense, to put it plainly, the difficulty was merely equivalent to a Dungeon's middle zone. Even if there were truly some tricky mechanisms, it was far from a desperate situation.

For someone blessed by God, even more so.

If it had been a rookie adventurer, they might have had to rack their brains to uncover the Shield Woman's background, learn the knowledge of this world, diligently seek her favor and assist her, advancing cautiously in this unknown past.

But to Mute Girl, these seemingly tangled complications were merely threads to be cut with a single draw of the sword.

With such an extraordinary power at her disposal, what could possibly hinder her?

With this firm belief, the girl confidently raised her head—and met a pair of deep Emerald Eyes.

[Father's Presence (Perception +30)]

D70+30=(54)=84

The moment she faced those Emerald Green pupils, Mute Girl's expression froze, and the bold words about to escape her lips were forcibly stuck in her throat.

—Were this man's eyes always this color?

In this world devoid of magic power, people's hair and eye colors don't vary as much as in the Kingdom, being relatively uniform and monotonous. Conversely, in the Kingdom, only Nobles and High-tier Professionals typically possess pure hair and eye colors, yet here they are commonplace.

But undoubtedly, the middle-aged man before her—the Shield Woman's father in memory—absolutely did not possess such Dark Green hair and Jade-like deep eyes.

Simultaneously, Mute Girl noticed that although the instant she spoke, the three faces opposite did seem dazed, that pair of Emerald Eyes quickly recovered their Crisp clarity.

Clearly, he broke free from the control of the Sin Song of Enchantment.

This meant the man also possessed magic power, likely someone who, like herself, had stepped into this Illusion Realm from the outside world.

Mute Girl's gaze swiftly glanced at the corner where the crimson glaring panel was situated, realizing that this cursed object was probably behind the mischief, she cursed silently in her heart.

No wonder the Goddesses had such a disdainful attitude towards this thing, turns out it's truly nothing good.

Whether it was the previous explosion or the current substitution, any time she failed to follow its guidance, backlash would inevitably ensue.

Yet being vexed is pointless, after all, she lacked the means to stop the panel from unleashing its backlash.

Recognizing this, Mute Girl decisively shifted her focus back to the man before her.

Though she couldn't discern whether this person was friend or foe, given he was summoned by the panel's backlash, wouldn't it be wise to strike first and eliminate him directly here?

But her aim was for the Shield Woman to embrace her past. Even if this is an Illusion Realm, if the Shield Woman witnessed her preschool-age sister suddenly take up a tea table and shatter her biological father's head... even with the memories of a Legendary Knight regained, she'd likely spiral into a life-questioning state of isolation.

Weighing the options, Mute Girl decided to hold her position for now, watching how the situation unfolds.

But as she observed the man's demeanor, she found his gaze had already shifted off her, those deep Emerald Green pupils now intriguingly fixed upon the heavy wooden door panel behind her.

On the door panel, remained a footprint indentation smaller than the size of an adult palm.

"I suppose my previous words had some inaccuracies."

Without making any judgment on his youngest daughter's wild statement and violent conduct, his eyes remained fixated on the footprint on the door, as if he saw the entrance to a new world there.

"True power, it turns out, exists in this world after all..."

Upon hearing his murmured soliloquy, a chill surged up Mute Girl's spine.

Detecting the sudden rise of vigilance in his youngest daughter's eyes, the man slowly withdrew his gaze, once again looking at her, with a curve on the corner of his mouth that wasn't quite a smile:

"No need to worry for now. Although I am your father, unlike you, I am merely an ordinary man. Though my available resources exceed those of most, to bind you now, or extract anything from your mouth, is likely impossible."

"...Are you clear-headed, do you even understand what you're saying?"

"Of course. I saw light amidst the darkness, thus instinctively, I ought to advance towards that light. But blind charge is inadvisable, hence the need for complete preparation... Is there a problem with that?"

Mute Girl clicked her tongue secretly.

She roughly understood now, though she didn't know how the panel accomplished it, it likely substituted someone from the Dungeon, whose mental construct closely mirrored a role in the Illusion Realm, into that role.

A heretic whose eyes are fixed only on their goal, disregarding all else... people like this are not uncommon in the Kingdom, that group of cultists being a prime example.

However, much like the Shield Woman, this man hadn't completely awakened his original memories, merely projecting his personality over.

Understandable as akin to in a game, a typically static-reacting NPC replaced by a real player—but given the player's personality already highly aligns with the NPC's settings, it just seems like the NPC comes to life, and simultaneously, the player remains unaware they're playing a game.

The man probably thinks he's dreaming right now.

Though it seems unchanged, the distinction within is vast.

The original NPCs execute only mechanical actions within predefined frameworks, even should Mute Girl display Extraordinary Power in this world, it won't attract attention from state agencies for it.

But if any authority in this nation has been replaced with a real player, they might act beyond the NPC's program limits, even unaware of their mental change.

Such as issuing commands to pursue, research, or even dissect beings with Extraordinary Power.

Just like this evidently manic man before her.

Furthermore, even without awareness of personal transformation, the Kingdom's Professionals, in contrast to individuals in this Magicless World, possess fundamentally disparate base qualities.

His rapid break from her skill corroborates this.

"However, you can rest assured." Facing the guarded Mute Girl, the man spoke again, his tone softened, "I will complete preparations thoroughly before meeting you again."

With a faint smile forming on his lips, his eyes remained undisturbed: "Until then, please take care of yourself—my child."

The moment his words fell, the world before them began to collapse.

Walls, floors, furniture, everything silently plunged into darkness.

This signified that Mute Girl had already created an irreparable impact on the Shield Woman's past within this Illusion Realm.

Thus, ten years later—
