Chapter 1215 - 521: The Boy and the Magical Robot

"Virtual Spirit Ascension... Bestow Intelligence." The Hero murmured thoughtfully.

The Four-winged King isn't granting souls to all life in the Illusion Realm but is instead implanting a high-level Magic-guided Mind, endowing them with Magic Power to transcend the constraints of illusion, growing into entities comparable to Magic Creatures.

This reminded her of the Noble Lady she encountered in the Angel Ancient City.

At that time, the Noble Lady's soul was seized by the Four-winged King and replaced with a highly intricate Magic-guided Mind inserted into her empty shell.

That Magic-guided Mind controlled the Noble Lady's body as precisely as a puppet on strings, enabling her to survive in the harsh environment of the ancient city.

Even though it was still not a true soul, the precision of that mind was so high that even her brother had to acknowledge it.

Later, when the Noble Lady regained her own will, the intelligent entity akin to a supercomputer continued assisting her as a blessing.

For the Four-winged King, such Enchantment, which would require a Kingdom Mage to exert a lifetime's effort, was merely a simple act.

Although the Enchantment on the Noble Lady's mind at the time did not perform any Attack actions, and the level was probably much higher, there was no fundamental difference.

The Hero gazed down at the dense crowd below, her voice carrying a hint of bewilderment:

"It intends to conduct such Enlightenment on everyone, on all life?"

Despite the Illusion Realm being just a half-finished simulation, far from fully restoring the civilization from the Shield Woman's memory, the number of NPCs is by no means a count to be easily ignored.

If the Four-winged King continues expanding the scale of the Illusion Realm, the number of NPCs might even rival the population of the entire Kingdom.

Even though bestowing such a Magic-guided Mind is a simple task for the Four-winged King, lifting a hand a million times or ten million times is by no means a light work—a task one can't accomplish in a lifetime.

"Quantity brings quality, Overlimit leads to collapse." Her father responded.

"To him, banished by Divine Knowledge from the world and seeking to capture you, choosing this method might be inevitable—or perhaps normal."

Seeing her father's indifferent demeanor, the Hero instead calmed down a bit.

She took a deep breath as sparks of electricity emerged above the projection's head, dispersing her scattered thoughts as she began to ponder seriously.

After being defeated by predecessors, the Four-winged King had already met his demise in the Main World.

After being defeated by predecessors, the Amnesiac King in this world had already met his demise.

While for such existence, death isn't equivalent to true annihilation—just an inability to manifest in this world temporarily.

Yet, as long as the predecessors' eyes continue to observe, persisting in their watch, the Four-winged King's deceased state becomes a set result, not easily overturned.

This concept struggle beyond common sense, if placed before, the Hero might just await her father's explanations in confusion. But now, she can infer by herself.

Supposing she were to be defeated by a Divine Knowledge level entity in the Otherworld, much like the Four-winged King's current situation, she too might be barred from that realm.

Then, if she refuses to give up and still wishes to Descend to that world… what would she do?

Launch an all-out Attack, shattering the anchored destiny along with a corner of the world—although another of herself would arrive at the answer in less than a second, it's clearly not an option for the Four-winged King.

Still, although it's an ordinary Goblin with wings, the Hero has to acknowledge that it's a remarkably intelligent Goblin as well.

Suppose brute force doesn't work, is there a detour, allowing the essence of Four Wings to Descend upon the world once again?

The Hero recalls the predecessors' words and actions, swiftly, an answer and possibility surfaced.

To be born anew.

For a Four-winged King possessing the Authority of birth, it's not a difficult matter, and certainly a Goblin-like move.

Yet this method unfortunately escapes the predecessors' observation, unless utilizing the body of the Divine Knowledge Saintess, the Four-winged King couldn't possibly Descend again this way. Hence, this path too proves futile.

But upon observing the Illusion Realm before her, the Hero immediately realized something else.

Why was the Winged Boy able to appear within the Dungeon?

The simple answer: because the Dungeon is an Otherworld.

Even the predecessors' gaze couldn't penetrate deep into the depths of the Dungeon, making it difficult for her to observe what transpires here.

Thus, whether her father or the Winged Boy, both chose the Dungeon as their activity base.

Yet, this so-called Otherworld remains closely linked to the Main World, merely akin to it but not genuinely another realm.

Therefore, inside the Dungeon, the Four-winged King still couldn't descend as the main body, not even the fragmented Winged Boy could approach the surface.

In essence, if willing to leave the Main World entirely, finding another plane, perhaps he could Descend there anew—but clearly, this betrays a Great Demon's nature, a contradiction.

Then, the Hero recalled the Inverted Netherworld phenomenon about to unfold at the Polar region, alongside the summoning of the Lord of Demons upon the theatrical stage.

Thus, another answer came to light.

—Create an Otherworld, take control, and then invade the surface with it.

In doing so, rules of the world can be overturned from beneath, eradicating the defeat, enabling him to Descend once more.

"But, creation? Is this even possible?"

The Hero's incredulous whisper slipped from her lips, earning a satisfied nod from her father.

"Directly creating a Material Realm from scratch, that's certainly implausible, even with boundless Magic Power."

His Emerald Hue pupils barely contained astonishment and praise.

"Yet, if it's a sub-plane akin to the Spirit Realm or Elemental Realm, that's not necessarily the same."

Prompted by her father, the Hero suddenly gained clarity, enlightened.

The term 'creation' sounds astounding, yet swap it with "sub-plane creation," and it's no longer a rare occurrence.

The pure white Space behind the Gate of Heaven where the Four-winged King once resided is essentially a basic sub-plane, albeit being slain there by the Divine Knowledge Saintess, inevitably abandoning that lair.

There remain many sub-planes in this world, locations like the Land of Dead Dreams can be regarded as sub-planes collectively created by Humankind; Theater of the Wandering Country, a plane-level Array atop the Reincarnation Realm.

With clarity restored, the Hero again fixed her gaze upon the street where Ascension unfolded.

Those virtual beings endowed with Magic-guided Minds, notably the animals, weren't responding with praises of Newborn, but rather Assaulted any Human in sight.

The reason is quite plain—they aren't true souls.

Truly possessing souls, such Magic-guided Minds are entities one might meet only by chance, yet remain unattainable, untouched by modern Magic Engineering.

Every renowned historic weapon with a self-soul was crafted using Ancient Method of Forging beneath optimal conditions and emerged coincidentally, irreplicable.

Under the gravity of the Reincarnation Realm, souls from the Material Realm disassemble upon death, and spiritual elements scarcely linger.

The proverb about being unable to cook without rice applies here, save employing harsh means like Blood Sacrifice, master craftsmen can't conjure souls from nothing.

Thus, the phenomenons of Assault seen on the streets stem from a straightforward cause.

When these Magic-guided Minds kill a life truly harboring a soul, the dispersing spiritual elements at that moment are absorbed by them, catalyzing their ascension and evolution, facilitating the successful Transformation into true souls.

And a world with countless true souls, even if just a sub-plane, qualifies for invading the Main World.

"He intends to use Forbidden Curse's Magic Power to project the Illusion Realm onto the surface, allowing the virtual lives within to Assault humans in reality, extract their souls, further elevate this place into a real plane?"

Having deduced the Four-winged King's next move, the Hero's brows furrowed.

Her father only offered a faint smile.

"Now, what do you plan to do?"
