"I'm sorry, ma'am. Muhadi said to the female Otherworldly Priest named Kailin. "There are important things that I have to focus on. Now I have to leave. ”

"So glad to have it, strange passerby. Kailin replied politely. The wings glowing with azure light tucked behind her back like a holy cloak. She turned her head and whispered to her companions, ready to leave.

"However, I need to take Michael's body away. Muhadi added. "I need to test his sleeping soul with psionic energy, he has something I must know. ”

Kaylin looked back at the Psychic Warlock strangely. As a godly servant of the other world, she exuded a sacrosanct aura all over her body. At first glance, her appearance is not much different from that of a human, but this momentum is such that no one will confuse her with a human.

If one looked closely, Kaylin would reveal more of her otherworldly place. Her eyes had no pupils, only bright pale blue pupils. Her skin has no pigmented spots, her stature is taller than the average person, and her tips exude a faint floral scent.

"Excuse me, whatever Michael once knew, now he has lost his sense of self and is no longer able to grant your request. Kailin kindly reminded Muhadi.

"As you yourself said, I can use psionic energy to dive into the depths of his soul and dig up the information he needs. The Psychic replied to her. "It means a lot to me. ”

"Is this really necessary?" asked the Psychic Warlock. "It sounds like torture, and I don't know if you should be allowed to do that. ”

"You're the one who knocked him down. Muhadi was referring to the unconscious godly servants of the earth. "And now you're defending his power again?"

"Michael is not our enemy, although we are hostile to each other. Kailin explained to Muhadi. "He's just been blinded, just like I used to be. If he had realized the unspeakable evil of the Wall of the Unbelievers, he would have stood with me, I am sure. ”

"This man can't be allowed to take Michael's body. A fellow of Kaylin's said. He crossed his hands and hugged them to his chest. "Who knows what he's going to do? Many evil wizards and nether demons are willing to pay a lot of money to buy the bodies of the gods of the other world. ”

"I think this person is suspicious. Another otherworldly attendant with Kailin said. "Maybe we shouldn't have let him go. With that, he used a magic spell to detect evil. "Behold, he is red! We ought to punish him, lest he do evil in the future!"

"First there is sin, then there is punishment. And not the other way around. Kailin firmly rejected the offer. In the same way, we judge a person based on their actions, not what they think. You must not kill someone because he has evil thoughts. Then we will become sinners. ”

The female Otherworldly Acolyte turned to Muhadi. "I'm sorry, strange passerby, but I can't allow you to take Michael's body. We'll take him to a proper place and keep it. ”

Do you want to snatch that body with your hands? Muhadi secretly estimated his chances of victory if he broke out in battle. Kailin is an extremely powerful otherworldly god, and several of her companions are not idle. He may be lucky enough to outrun Kaylin, but it's hard to defeat them all in one go. Besides, if you can't fight yourself. The Witch King, as well as those who have fallen out of favor, will realize that their primordial warlocks are impostors.

"Maybe we can each take a step back, how about it?" the psychic warlock offered his own proposal. "I won't take Michael's body, and you won't stop me from using psionic energy to get the information I need. I'm here to show my power, how?"

"Coerced confessions are not allowed. Said one of Kalin's companions, an unusually tall Otherworldly Priest.

"Like violence?" Mouhathir shouted. "I see that you have no hesitation in fighting Michael. ”

"We have to, and that doesn't mean we like it. The tall otherworldly priest said.

"I have to do the same, whether you like it or not. ”

The Otherworldly Priests were clearly not persuaded by the words of the Psychic Warlocks, and although their minds fluctuated like those of mortals, Muhadi could barely read their feelings—doubt, dissatisfaction, and doubt.

"Perhaps I can grant your request. To the surprise of her companions, Kaylin said.

"But he ......," the tall Otherworldly Priest cried out to stop him, but was interrupted by a hand raised by Kailin.

"You are a mighty mortal, passerby. Kaylin turned to the Psychic Warlock. "If I agree that you are here to explore the secrets of Michael's soul, will you grant me a request?"

Muhadi narrowed his eyes, as if to re-examine the other. "What is the content of this request?"

"We need help to free the people of our world from the tyranny of the Wall of the Unbeliever. ”

"Let me guess, you want me to help deal with the gods of your world?" Muhati said. "Sounds good, but I have something important to do now, and I can't get involved in any other fights. ”

"Not now. Kaylin explained. "I never thought that we would be able to do our good now, but if you say yes, we will seek your help someday in the future, and hopefully you will not refuse. ”

"Not now, but the future?"

"When you're not so much in business. Kailin assured.

After some careful consideration, Mohadi replied in the affirmative. "You've got my assurance. I will help you in the future if necessary. ”

"Deal. The short brown female Otherworldly Priest said.

Diving into a person's deep consciousness is an extremely dangerous act no matter what the circumstances.

In a sense, the psychic warlock has to do much more than the mental consciousness on Earth at this time. However, the psychiatrist can only use limited and extremely limited primitive means to knock on the patient's consciousness, while the powerful psychiatrist can project his own consciousness into the other person's mind to obtain a more intuitive image.

But projecting one's own consciousness into the other person's mind is equivalent to leaking one's consciousness into an extremely strange and dangerous environment. After all, the mind of intelligent beings is the most elusive and fickle existence in the multiverse.

The conscious component of self-consciousness is only the most superficial and insignificant component of the vast majority of intelligent beings. It's like an inconspicuous gravel in the middle of a vast desert, or an uninhabited island in the vast ocean. Intelligent beings often have the illusion that their self-consciousness holds and manipulates a qiē. In reality, this freedom is nothing more than an illusion, and instincts and mindsets are firmly in control of a person, far more than his so-called self-consciousness.

The Psychic Warlock had long since discovered that man's self-consciousness was not so much an omniscient master as a closed-minded monarch, and that the vast majority of information had been privately intercepted by self-proclaimed ministers. For example, under normal circumstances, a person cannot feel his organs, he cannot control his heartbeat, and he cannot control the peristalsis of his stomach and intestines.

And even the feelings that those people's self-consciousness receives, many of them are just illusions. For example, people actually only have five taste buds, and there are no receptors for spicy taste. The essence of the spicy taste is actually a slight stinging, external heating sensation. The self-consciousness confuses the two sensations that are received at the same time, and the spicy is produced. And in order to disperse the calories that do not exist zài, people will sweat a lot when they eat spicy.

Underneath this shallow and ignorant self-consciousness is the essence of one's thoughts. A turbulent, bottomless sea of consciousness, subconscious and unconscious. All kinds of unformed and inexplicable terrifying imaginations, all kinds of evil thoughts that cannot be declared or even rejected from thinking, all kinds of memories and instincts that have been dormant for a long time...... It's all here.

Everyone's mind is different, and the idea of a non-human being like an otherworldly god can be even more bizarre and unreasonable. Trying to dig out the information from the depths of Michael's soul is actually no less difficult than an uphill battle.

The power of the priest's magic comes from the gods they believe in, and the power of the mage's magic comes either from the extracted vitality of the natural world, or from the magic web, etc. Only psionics are different, and their power comes from the depths of their own hearts. Theoretically, everyone has the potential to become a Legendary Psyker, but most people's powers will never be unlocked. But when a psychic sorcerer dives into the depths of the opponent's soul, it is likely that he will encounter these primitive spiritual powers that have never been opened, and fall into a desperate situation.

Muhadi cautiously entered the mind of the Otherworldly Divine Servant in a deep sleep, and to outsiders it seemed as if he was just standing in the street and resting with his eyes closed, when in fact the consciousness of the Psychic Warlock had left his body.

Michael's sleeping world of consciousness was a strange place, a place of darkness, no light in the sky, nothing on the vast earth, no vegetation, no hills and ravines, nothing.

The mind of the telemancer projected an image of himself in Michael's inner world, and he landed gently on the ground. Not far from him were two living creatures, running one after the other. That's the only thing going on in this weird, empty world.

The one running in front seemed to be a child, and the one chasing after him was a terrifying monster covered in bone spurs, and the mere sight of it made people feel irritated. In the inner world, every image is a part of human consciousness, and it can be said that both of them are the incarnations of Michael.

Muhadi decided to start with the image of the child running away and see if he could dig out what he wanted to know from his mouth.

The projection of the Psychic appeared next to the "child", who seemed to be unaware of his presence, still running at a strange slow pace, as if trying to escape the chasing monster. He ran slowly, but strangely enough, the monster chased at an unhurried pace, and the distance between the two was always constant.

"You must be Michael. Muhadi said to the "child" while using psionic techniques to add a seductive effect to his own language. "Sue me, do you know what a deal was made in Seal City by a man named Rajat a long time ago?"

"Shhh The "kid" said. "It's coming up!"

Muhathir asked again, this time using a more forceful hinting technique. But no matter how much he tried, the "kid's" answer was always "Shhh It's going to catch up!"

"Is it—are you referring to this monster?" said Muhadi. "How about I help you eliminate him, and you answer my question?"

"Shhh It's going to catch up!"

The monster did chase closer, it was more than two people tall, and the skin beneath the bone spurs seemed to be sewn from painful human faces, and the faces squirmed with a look of extreme misery. Although he had never seen the Wall of the Unbelievers, Muhadi had the feeling that the image of this monster was the embodiment of the Wall of the Unbelievers.

Seeing that he couldn't find an answer from the other party, the telemancer tried to deal with the monster first. Maybe when this "child" doesn't have to run away, things will go a little easier.

Muhadi concentrated on unleashing his powers, and a powerful spiritual storm formed in Michael's inner world, right in the middle of the terrifying bone spur monster. The monster staggered a little, then fell to the ground and disappeared.

"Now, could you consider stopping the run and answering my question......" Before the Psychic Warlock could finish his sentence, he noticed that the "child" suddenly showed a very short expression of pain, he clutched his stomach, and then fell to the ground and died.

After a few breaths, the child's body in front of Muhadi's eyes changed again. It began to swell, twist, tremble, and new bones and muscles were constantly forming under that skin...... When the terrible metamorphosis was finally complete, the bone spur monster reappeared before the telemagician.

"You hurt me, but you killed the boy. The monster spoke, and every moment seemed so unreal, like a dream. "Don't you know that we are one. To attack me is to attack him, and I am his anxiety. ”

"You've had the same dream, haven't you, outsider?" the monster roared at Muhadi...... Or maybe it's laughing. The monster's laughter and roar sounded similar. "Alone in a dark dream, a terrifying monster chasing after him. You want to run, but you are so slow. This dream has no beginning and no end. ”

With that, the monster pounced.

Muhadi stepped up to the plate.

A fierce scuffle, it is a purely conscious encounter, although its projection of the inner world unfolds in the form of bloody hand-to-hand combat. After a brief fight, the Psychic Warlock rose from a pool of blood, a wound on his body.

The monster fell to the ground, dead for a long time, but its voice came from the void. "Look elsewhere for the answers you're looking for. From anxiety here, you get nothing. ”

With that, the voice disappeared, but the irritating feeling was not gone for a long time.

The scene suddenly changed, the dark and gloomy sky disappeared, and the empty earth was gone. Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, the cold wind was fierce, and the psychic warlock was now standing on the top of the snowy mountain. The biting cold tried to rob him of the heat all the time.

An ice sculpture sits right in front of Muhadi's eyes, posing as a thinker. The Psychic Warlock stepped forward, and the statue was Michael himself, frozen there, motionless.

Muhadi tried to communicate with him, but no matter how much he tried, he never got a response. The Psychic Warlock finally tried to awaken Michael's consciousness with the Flame Burning Ice Sculpture, but also to no avail, the ice sculpture was undamaged, and Michael remained motionless in a thinking position. His frowning brow, his cheek-supporting arms, his prostrated torso, his bent lower limbs, his muscles were tense, and his whole person seemed to be smashing into a violent contraction in an extremely painful thought.

The Psychic Mancer circled around the ice sculpture, still without any clues to communicate with. What to do, Muhadi thought, what part of the mind of the otherworldly god servant does this image represent?

After several more attempts, the Psychic Warlock was unable to establish contact with Michael. At this time, Muhathir looked at the ice sculpture, and suddenly he had an idea.

On Earth, the statue of the thinker of the artist Rodin is almost identical to the ice sculpture of Michael in front of him. Muhadi remembered that the statue of the Thinker was part of the large carving of the Gates of Hell. The thinker sits at the top of the gates of hell and thinks about the sins and sufferings of hell. Michael's ice sculpture is on top of this snow-capped mountain, is there something hidden below him?

Muhadi bent down and brushed away the thick snow on the ground. Beneath the snow is a hard, almost transparent layer of ice, which seems to be buried with something.

The Psychic Warlock unleashed his powers, and a violent whirlwind blew in all directions centered on him. The thick snow was swept away in an instant, revealing a huge layer of ice buried underneath.

The ice is transparent, and you can see several otherworldly gods buried inside. Michael was among them, and the others were Kailin and her companions. They looked as if they had broken up after a heated argument.

Muhadi then performs another ability, reading scenes from his past life. Casting this ability in Michael's inner world is the equivalent of reading his memories. The ice faded in the illusion created by the psionic energy, and the Otherworldly Priests were arguing fiercely about something. It looks as if Kailin is leaving with her followers, and Michael is trying to stop them.

"You know you're wrong. Michael remembered Kailin to him. "The existence of the wall of the unbelievers is not essential. As long as we act justly and uphold justice. Then goodness itself is enough to attract mortals to conversion. ”

"It takes time and experience for mortals to realize the importance of believing in righteousness. Until then, how many people will be degraded by the devil and the devil**? Should we just stand by and watch this possibility? You yourself have said that when good people stand by and watch, evil wins. Michael retorted sharply.

"You believe in righteousness more than anyone else, and you know that it is good for mortals to believe in righteousness. Michael continued, trying to convince Kaylin. "So what's wrong with the existence of the Wall of the Unbelievers objectively forcing mortals to make a faster choice and convert? You attach too much importance to procedural justice, Kailin, and you ignore that the outcome is more important. ”

"I can't believe you're hearing such a thing. Kaylin shook her head and said. "Only the unbelieving will be nailed to the wall, and what kind of outcome justice does this objectively contribute? Won't mortals choose to believe in evil gods to avoid such an outcome? Speaking of outcome justice, say to the infant souls on the wall who have not had time to choose their faith not long after they were born!

"But change doesn't happen overnight, you can't just leave Heavenly Mountain. Michael stopped weakly.

"No change happens overnight, but if no one pushes it, change will never come. Kaylin said. "Join me and change the world with me!"

"Nope. You are too idealistic for you to be aware of the complexity of this multiverse. I fear that your path will eventually bring greater calamity to mortals. ”

Kaylin took a step back. "I do idealize, but isn't that what pure justice should be, and your hesitation to enforce justice has disgraced your glory. ”

"Justice has never been what drives change in the world. Michael said heavily.

Kailin shrugged off his words, "You don't understand at all. With that, she left with her followers, and the light of Heavenly Mountain seemed to dim a lot.

"No, I get it too well. Michael looked down and muttered to himself.

The illusion fades, and the scene of Kailin and her followers breaking with Paradise Mountain is permanently sealed in the ice of Zài's inner world. Michael sat on the ice in agony until he was covered in ice.

Muhati suddenly realized that in this scene, it might not be the statue that represented part of Michael's consciousness at all, but the ice and snow itself.

The Psychic Warlock switched the person he was trying to communicate with, and sure enough, his crazy guess was correct, and the ice responded to his call.

"You have shown me, and I am Michael's remorse. "The ice responds in a strange way to the psionic power of the Psychic Warlock. He regretted that he hadn't been able to stop Karin from leaving. This remorse made him reluctant to communicate with anyone, and he preferred to fight, because death itself was also a relief. ”

"Remorse made him closed. From remorse, you get nothing. ”

The scene changed again, the ice sculptures and the snow-capped mountains were gone, but the biting cold feeling could not be dissipated for a long time.

The psychic warlock constantly searched the depths of the other person's soul, and all kinds of beautiful and moving scenes appeared and disappeared. Each time Muhadi had to confront a part of Michael's consciousness, and each time he failed to find the answer he wanted.

Another scene appeared in front of al-Muhadi, a swamp where all kinds of ferns and vines spread wildly. There is no grass on the ground here, just a lot of mushroom-like fungi. The large green trees that rise from the ground look like they are from ancient times. In the swamp, some seven or eight feet long strange shrimp swam slowly, and the bottom of the swamp was crawling with trilobites and other creatures from ancient times.

Two otherworldly priests were fighting to the death on the edge of this ancient swamp, one of whom Muhadi recognized as Michael, and the other unknown to him. This strange otherworldly priest had an unusually handsome and bevelous face, and his wings were black, as if they were burnt. When he spoke, he spat out a serpent-like letter.

The sky was filled with fire and blood, and it was clear that there was a great battle here. Now, though, the battle is nearing its end.

Michael's fight with an unknown Otherworldly Priest is almost a replica of the battle between him and Kailin, only this time he has the upper hand. Taking advantage of a flaw, Michael kicked his foe to the ground, then raised his flaming sword to deliver the final blow.

"Shh "Knocked down to the earth, the demon of the otherworld, the god of the other world, spoke in a snake-like tone. "Why is it that when they can obtain the power they desire by their own will, they are willing to be the toys of the gods?"

After saying this, Michael beheaded the other party.

The victorious Otherworldly Divine Acolyte seemed to notice Muhadi, "Who?"

"Who are you, a bystander?" said the psychic manipulator, using suggestive techniques to soothe the hostility of the other.

"I am the pride of Michael Khail. I repeat over and over again his proudest moment, the moment he knocked down Awameen. Michael's otherworldly acolyte said.

Awameen, the name Muhadi has some impressions. During that encounter with the Lady of Grace, the Succubus Crime Queen was named, and he also appeared to be one of the participants in the deal with Rajat. Maybe he could really dig out something from this scene, Muhati thought.

"There is no honor or pride in knocking down a nobody. The Psychic Warlock said. "Sue me, who is this Avameen?"

This trick really worked for the embodiment of pride. "Your intentions are not pure, bystander. But I am arrogant, and the nature of arrogance makes it impossible for me to refuse to answer, because obscurity is contrary to pride...... You don't even know that the famous Avameen?That fallen Otherworldly Priest?In the history of the multiverse, only two high-level Otherworldly Priests have ever defected, one is Kailin and the other is Avameen. ”

"I've never heard of that name. ”

"He was killed by me thousands of years ago, and naturally not many people know about him now. But he was once the greatest enemy in the eyes of Heavenly Mountain, and he built up an army in a savage half-plane to conquer the abode of the gods. The embodiment of arrogance said.

"He's just a high-level Otherworldly Divine Servant, why can he make Heavenly Mountain fearful?"

Arrogance did not immediately answer Muhadi's question, which seems to be an important answer. However, the psychic warlock has his own way, and he uses the power of psionic energy to hint at the other party. After all, arrogance was only a fragment of the complete thinking of the Otherworldly Divine Servant, so it was difficult to resist, and he finally spoke.

"For he has revealed a fact, which is more powerful than a thousand armies. Said arrogantly and unnaturally. He now has the ability to use divine magic even if they don't believe in God. They can believe in any other abstract concept to attain divine magic: goodness, love, the sun, tyranny, ......"

"For a while, there will be more and more priests who do not believe in God, and the number of believers in both good and evil gods will decrease dramatically, and it seems that the rules of the whole world will change......"

It was possible to obtain divine magic without believing in a specific god?!Muhadi was incredible, almost subverting his previous understanding of the multiverse. This fact was so powerful that the psychic immediately realized what it meant to him. When he invaded Mistara, his biggest concern was that his followers would be shaken by the fact that the priests of the other world could perform magic and the first cause never answered any prayers. If belief in abstract concepts could also be magical......

“...... He even plans to form an alliance with the villains of the multiverse to grow his military......" said the arrogant avatar.

That's it! Muhati realized that he was close to answering. "Is this Avameen once allied with a mage from the world of Atas?"

"It is said that yes. He was willing to offer the mage a theory, and all he wanted was to resurrect a demon lord, who was said to be the first to manifest the fact, and it was called Setoros. ”

Muhadi thought, but suddenly a strange thought came to his head and he asked. "If you don't believe in a specific god, but only in abstract concepts, will you be nailed to the wall of the unbelievers?"

"Yes, that's one of the reasons why the Wall of the Unbelievers was built. "The psionic power forces the embodiment of arrogance to confide in what it knows. "Forcing mortals to believe in personified gods, rather than abstract beings. ”

Another mystery has been revealed, but this one raises even greater questions. "Why do you want to do this? Does the righteous god you believe in approve of this? Is this righteous?"

"It is righteous, my God showed me this, but then He took away my memory. I only know that the reason for this is to prevent a bigger catastrophe, but I don't know why I stopped it like this. The embodiment of arrogance said.

"What disaster?"

"I don't know, this is probably the biggest secret in the multiverse, guarded by all the most powerful gods. ”

Driven by curiosity, Muhadi repeatedly showed his ability to extract all the inside information that the other party knew. But no matter how much he showed his ability, Michael's consciousness could not search for the slightest bit of useful information.

The Psychic Warlock ends his quest for the consciousness of the Otherworldly Divine Servant and returns to his body. "Thank you, Kailin. He said to the female otherworldly priest in front of him. "You'll want to know what I'm showing up for today. ”

"Someday I'll tell you and me the secret, but not now. Muhadi continued. "Now, I have something to do. ”

With that, the Psychic Warlock bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the portal he had used to the world of Mystara.
