Chapter 53 Virtual Soul Projection
It all started with a reflection on who I am.
By comparing the memories of Islanya's behavior and deeds during his lifetime, Islanya, the current ruler of the White Bone Dry Garden, found that he did not have much similarity with the other party except that he had the same appearance and memories as the other party.
Then the seeds of doubt took root in my heart.
After a long period of investigation and analysis, Islanya finally discovered such a fact.
He is not the historical ill-known Islanya.
In the legends of the kingdom of Yatales, the great founding monarch Islanya never really died.
He simply led his Death Knights on an expedition to the eternal underworld.
With Islanya's great strength during her lifetime, even the goddess Carmela would not want to recall his soul from the eternal underworld, let alone drive it.
In the royal family of Yatales, only those descendants of *** Ya are truly awakened by the divine power of the goddess Carmela and return to the present world in the form of resurrected beings.
And he and his Death Knights are simply a mass of simulated souls constructed entirely from the divine power of the goddess Carmela.
What made him even more frightened was that he found that the power in his body, including his own soul, had been in an extremely unstable state all along.
It was as if there was a great being in that distant void that had been influencing his power and soul.
Islanya could feel that with the slightest thought from that great being, he could easily drain the powerful power that he had always been proud of.
Even the soul in his body will be completely extracted.
Once he encounters that situation, he will not leave a trace of his existence in this world.
This frightened Islanya.
Only then did he realize that his life was so fragile.
He wasn't really a living being at all.
He is just a virtual being simulated by the divine power of the goddess Carmela, named Islanya.
Essentially, he was no different from his subordinates of the Death Knights.
They are nothing more than an aggregate of divine power deposited by the goddess Carmela in those decaying bodies.
This discovery alarmed Islanya.
From the day he confirmed this terrible fact, he had been looking for a way to escape the grasp of the goddess Carmela and truly take possession of his own life.
In the process, he was surprised to find that his lieutenant, Rogers, seemed to notice this as well.
And Rogers has done more than he did.
Rogers actually secretly contacted the last monarch of the kingdom of Yatales, the filthy and lowly fat pig Lotus.
He actually wanted to use the power of the thing that Lotus had hidden to escape from the world controlled by the goddess Carmela.
Ever since discovering this, Islanya has been hiding behind the scenes, secretly following and helping Rogers and the two of them in their research.
Once the two of them have made a breakthrough in their research, Islanya will not hesitate to step out and join their team in their attempt to break out of this world.
It's a pity that all this time, even after spending a lot of resources and spending a lot of time, these two fools still haven't found a way to leave.
If it weren't for the fear that the goddess Carmela might wake up at any time, it would be too risky to do so, and Islanya was ready to study the treasure herself.
It's just at this time that Islanya suddenly discovers such an even more terrifying fact-
He wasn't even Islanya's virtual soul, he was just a tiny projection of Islanya's virtual soul.
There are thousands of the same projections like him at the same time!
He's not a real being at all!
He was just a temporary projection that existed for a short time.
What could be more pathetic than that?
The real Islanya is a born "Soul Eater".
The so-called Soul Eater possesses an ability to increase one's wisdom and strength by devouring the souls of the dead.
This is the fundamental reason why Islanya is so powerful.
The goddess Carmela also perfectly simulated this ability when she constructed Islanya's virtual soul, giving him similar powers.
Ever since Islanya became conscious, he had been instinctively devouring the souls of the dead in order to increase his power.
As an added bonus, in the process of devouring souls, he was able to obtain some memory fragments and obtain some memories of the other party.
Not long ago, by devouring the soul of a strange corpse that had just been discovered, Islanya discovered some unfamiliar words -
Earth, Professional, Bone Dry Garden Dungeon, Final Plot Character Islanya...
The fragments of memory, which were broken and chaotic but still clear, told him such a terrible truth.
He is just a character in a dungeon named the Garden of Bones, and the world he lives in is simply a fragmentary world with no past and no future.
He doesn't actually exist.
The destiny of his existence is to fight these outsiders, known as professionals.
And the funniest thing is that even if he can successfully kill the other party, he and the world will collapse because of the failure of the plot strategy and the loss of the meaning of existence.
He, along with everything in this world, has been reduced to the most basic divine power, returning to the source of the divine power of the goddess Carmela and waiting for the day when it will re-evolve into a new dungeon.
Islanya is going crazy.
He couldn't believe it, and that's what it was.
But when he walked alone to the border of the White Bone Dry Garden and saw the infinite void beyond the border, when he couldn't get out of this range by all means, he had to believe this fact.
He, the ruler of the Garden of Bones, Islanya, was nothing more than an improvised projection.
Everything he had, it was false.
His persistence and glory, his hard work and struggle, including his long memory, is simply a damn joke.
What could be more?
Despair!
The deepest, infinite despair that makes it impossible to see a little bit of light!
What's even more desperate is that the relatively complete memories he has assembled based on the souls of many so-called professionals show that this moment is the time period when the plot of the dungeon of the White Bone Garden takes place, and the world is about to usher in its end.
He's going to die.
However, just when Islanya was about to despair, he actually discovered the mysterious sacrificial circle.
God knows how excited Islanya was when she discovered that the sacrificial circle was actually able to absorb the divine power of Carmela, the goddess of transformation!
This is his hope, this is the way out of his life.
