Chapter 109: Chapter 107: True Colors

Not a deity, yet capable of impersonating the ’Seven-Colored Ancient God’.

Could it be an Ancient Dominator?

Yang Qizhou pondered deeply and thought of ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas, who, though not a deity, possesses power even greater than the Old Gods.

Of course, the information revealed so far in the text is limited, making a precise deduction difficult.

Besides, the subsequent plot...

might unravel the true identity of the ’Star Color Ancient God’.

Continue the game, continue the game.

...

...

"At the exact moment your words fell, the once holy, exalted, pure Sacrificial Altar, akin to Heaven itself, suddenly tore open with a terrifying time-space rift,"

"A figure vaguely resembling a human emerged, its face wholly obscured, shrouded in an unknown mist."

"It said..."

"If you come bearing goodwill, state your purpose."

"Your thoughts feel violently distorted, as though churned up by an iron bar. Your perception falters, and an inexplicable affection for this figure wells up within you. You believe you’ve come here to embrace it."

"You confess everything, including what you learned in ’Dark Mist Town’—that the ’Star Color Ancient God’ had already fallen—and your intention to probe the entity now impersonating the ’Star Color Ancient God’ to unveil its real identity."

"That shadow twisted further; an eye opened in its center, displaying a dark hexagram pattern within its pupil,"

"It said..."

"Adorable little lamb, you’ve already forgotten all the escape measures you originally planned, forgotten the purpose of your visit, and now you recall only that you signed the ’Devil’s Contract’ and belong entirely to me. Your soul, your perception, your everything—will be mine. Isn’t that right?"

"No, that’s not right. No... Wait, maybe that is right."

"Your cognition was deceived; you believe what it says is true and prepare to surrender all you possess to this revered entity before you, including your [Golden Law Book][Hidden God’s Clothes][Head of Jealousy], and even your soul."

Ah, damn.

What kind of garbage plot is this?

Bloody hell, while you might kill off a game character, I’ll absolutely not allow you to seize all the ’magic items’ and ’ancient objects!’

"Dark Crow of Profane Fortune, charge right now!"

If this drags on, I’ll turn into a ’pauper.’ Yang Qizhou’s fingers flew over the controls, swiftly executing maneuvers.

The game text continued updating,

"Your thoughts were betrayed; you’ve forgotten all escape measures, even who you are."

"Just then..."

"The eerie cawing of a crow echoed in your mind. You snapped back to clarity; sweat dripped from every pore as you hurriedly reclaimed the treasures you were about to offer and activated the power of ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune.’"

"The scenery before your eyes warped, dissolved, and shattered rapidly..."

"You returned to the moment of choice in the previous timeline and opened your eyes once again in ’Truth Hall’ number seventeen."

...

...

"Well, damn, what a close call..."

Yang Qizhou slumped onto the couch, drenched in cold sweat. Reflecting on the earlier scene, he felt lingering dread.

The entity impersonating the ’Star Color Ancient God’ was truly terrifying, capable of manipulating the game character’s cognition through methods akin to ’induction.’ When he read the line ’you’ve forgotten all escape measures,’ his heart nearly stopped for a second, thinking he might fail to use ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ and face an overwhelming setback.

Thank goodness, the official cheat came through—the entity’s sinister power couldn’t suppress ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune.’

And this attempt to probe the ’Star Color Ancient God’...

wasn’t entirely unrewarding.

"It’s now certain that the ’Star Color Ancient God’ has indeed been impersonated by an unknown malevolent entity, likely the ’Devil’ dwelling in North Realm Abyss."

"The reasoning is simple,"

"While manipulating the game character’s consciousness, it used phrases like ’Devil’s Contract’ and aimed to seize the soul. Though not yet confirmed, it’s likely the case."

"And if the entity impersonating the ’Star Color Ancient God’ truly is a ’Devil,’ that would explain why this abomination appeared in Asgard."

Yang Qizhou reached out, retrieving an item from the Void—a yellowed sheepskin scroll etched with dark hexagrams and intricate designs, emanating an unsettling aura of dread. It was the ’Devil’s Contract,’ obtained during his raid on Asgard.

Glancing at it briefly, Yang Qizhou stowed it back into the game, stretched his limbs, and started ruminating on another storyline...

"The fate line has reset, and the timeline reverted to the moment before the ’game character’ began raiding Asgard. Thus, all loot obtained via the effects of ’Hidden God’s Clothes’ effectively never took place in the Real World."

"This essentially eliminates the latent danger."

"But there’s one thing... An unknown entity has been observing the ’game character’ persistently. Even the act of raiding Asgard was under its watchful eye,"

"It initially didn’t intervene, potentially even tacitly allowing the behavior. Only when the character grew excessively reckless did it issue a subtle warning."

"At least for now, it seems the entity harbors goodwill toward the ’game character.’"

"Yet..."

"That place is ’Old Earth,’ a grand-scale werewolf scenario. Until the pivotal moment, nobody knows who is human and who is wolf, and allegiances can shift with changing perspectives. While the hidden entity currently exhibits goodwill to the ’game character,’ there’s no guarantee it isn’t concealing a deeper malice."

Having been burned repeatedly as a game character, Yang Qizhou thoroughly understood the essence of [Deceit World]: never assume goodwill stems from your charms or entitlement.

Perhaps nefarious schemes are brewing beneath the surface.

As for the entity persistently observing the game character...

Yang Qizhou vaguely suspected its identity, though the evidence was too sparse to confirm.

"Future allies of Old Earth, don’t be too rash next time; you’ll just end up swallowed by misfortune..."

"Onward, onward—let’s aim to acquire [lucky coin] and [Foolish Snake Skin] today, and switch to my ’Wizard’ class tomorrow."

Soon, fresh text appeared.

...

...

"The hair on the back of your neck stands, and cold sweat drenches you. Memories of your past encounter with fate leave your skin crawling with goosebumps."

"That unknown entity impersonating ’Star Color Ancient God’—its methods were far too strange."

"Almost got blindsided by misfortune."

"’Little Seventeen’ is right beside you, passionately encouraging you, yet notices your sudden expression of terror and tilts its head curiously." frёeωebɳovel.com

"Future Wizard, what’s wrong with you, looking so horrified?"

"Don’t be scared, just look at the adorable Little Seventeen."

"That will surely heal you."

"The idea tickles your mind; mischievous delight stirs within you. You fiercely pinch Little Seventeen’s cheeks twice—hmm, as satisfying to the touch as ever,"

"Little Seventeen glares at you, mildly upset by your roughness, expressing a feisty indignation, only to quickly rebound with renewed zeal, urging you to march onward."

"And so, the explorer, nearly stripped of everything by an obscure entity, once again finds themselves at the crossroads of fate."

"This time, do you choose to head to ’Asgard’,"

"Return to the ’Original Land’,"

"Or abandon prudence, daringly revisiting ’Polluted Mountain Edge’ or ’Black Water Reef’ to explore ten thousand peculiar ways to die?"

"Make your decision."

This choice is agonizing,

Yang Qizhou’s face contorts with indecision. He recalls the ’Asgard’ storyline from his previous encounter; no need to revisit it. Returning to the ruins of ’Wind Bell Town’ would likely trigger the ’Fire Stealing Village’ quest, which seems unfit for the game character’s current stage.

As for ’Polluted Mountain Edge’ and ’Black Water Reef’... as previously stated, he has no intention of subjecting the game character to such humiliation.

Not only do they lack purpose,

but they’re overtly degrading,

Yang Qizhou deliberates for ages before finally biting the bullet and choosing option ’one.’

He decides to return to ’Asgard.’

"Given the game character’s experience from their previous fate, they’re likely aware of the outcomes tied to adhering strictly to the original storyline. Thus, unlocking a new narrative arc seems plausible,"

"Worth a shot,"

"To the other me on ’Old Earth,’ don’t let me down this time."

The pale text updates further.

...

...

"You use the ’Time-Space Gate’ to enter Asgard, swallowed by a streak of light."

"As your vision clears, you find yourself in the land of ’Asgard.’ The magnificent sights, now familiar, no longer stir much awe in you."

"You descend into contemplation,"

"Your prior experience from the earlier fate reveals much: in ’Asgard,’ an unknown observer can perceive through the effects of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ tracking your every move."

"You are all too aware of the terrifying nature of the entity impersonating the ’Star Color Ancient God,’ which nearly stripped you of everything."

"Without the ability of ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ to rewind back to the earlier moments of decision and erase all risks, your current situation would surely be dire."

"Could it be time to exit ’Asgard’?"

"You mull over this for a moment and pull out the ’Asgard’ map, where a marker points to the ’North Realm Abyss.’"

"’Circle of Friendliness’ is located there, offering the opportunity to become a ’Priest of Heroic Spirit Hall.’ You figure it’s time to make your way there."

"Having resolved yourself, you waste no time setting out toward the ’North Realm Abyss’..."

"You exit the protective bounds of ’Asgard,’ embarking on the wilderness where unknowns and mysteries coexist,"

"You activate the effects of ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ transitioning into a ’Hidden’ state."

"You forge ahead,"

"You encounter a terrifying abomination, but because you’re in a ’Hidden’ state, it fails to notice you."

"You press on."

"You quicken your pace and move forward."

"You meet a traveling poet, who astonishingly sees through the effects of ’Hidden God’s Clothes’ and calls out to you."
