Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 931 - 437 Thousand-Eye Array

[Crimson bloodlight engulfed ’Sage Randor,’ who, before his demise, cast off his previous dejected demeanor, eyes blazing with frenzied fervor, he bellowed, "Do you think killing me will free you from all this?"]

[No! You can’t change anything!]

[As the bloodlight faded, ’Sage Randor’ had become a limp corpse collapsed on the ground.]

[You have defeated ’Multivision Branch Association Sage of Knowledge Seeking,’ experience marginally increased.]

[You have acquired ’Small Fragment of World-Roaming Spirituality’*1]

[The Shell of ’Multivision Branch Association Sage of Knowledge Seeking’: Although the Multivision Association is weaker in overall wealth and power compared to the Direct Vision Society, it has a much larger number of scholars. ’Sage Randor’ is one of the eight Sages of the Branch Association. Compatibility 119% (+65%).]

[Do you wish to possess this Shell?]

Lin Xun, hearing Sage Randor’s words, had a foreboding feeling and immediately chose to possess the Shell.

[You have possessed the Shell of ’Multivision Branch Association Sage of Knowledge Seeking’!]

[Fragments of memories lingering inside the Shell began to resurface...]

[...]

[When the obedient female Doctor of Letters changed into a strange warrior, you realized, this person must be the ’True God’s Emissary’ the Association had been seeking.]

[The arrival of the True God’s Emissary had surpassed your expectations by far; you had thought it would take at least a day or two after the news spread, or even wait until the grand feast three days later, for the Emissary to appear.]

[Unexpectedly, the Emissary had taken the guise of your plaything, lurking within the Association...]

[Taking advantage of your conversation with the emissary, you discreetly sent a message to the Great Sage, the Association’s President, informing him of the True God’s Emissary’s arrival.]

[However, the ’Thousand-Eye Array’ requires a substantial preparation time, and you had to stall the True God’s Emissary.]

[You were prepared to sacrifice yourself, for compared to the grand ambition to awaken the True God, your life was insignificant...]

[...]

[While you were experiencing the residual memories in the Shell, an extremely dangerous sensation surged within you!]

[You immediately interrupted the Shell’s memory resurgence to confront the sudden overwhelming sense of crisis!]

[You observed the walls of the office, including the ceiling and the floor, all shimmering with a multitude of colossal eyes!]

[These eyes were not physical but made of light and shadow, eerie eyes that seemed like murals etched on the walls, murals that could move and blink.]

[As one of the Branch Association’s eight Sages, of course, you recognized this to be the Association’s ’Thousand-Eye Array’!]

[The Branch Association lacked the financial resources to construct the ’Sea of Knowledge Magic Array,’ which requires a plethora of precious materials as energy reserves, incurring huge expenses.]

[But this did not mean the Multivision Association lacked powerful Magic Arrays!]

[The ’Thousand-Eye Array’ didn’t need an assortment of magical materials as an energy source because its energy originated from the many Scholars within the Association!]

[The Array could mobilize the magic power of all Scholars in the Association to construct an immensely powerful Magic Array!]

[Although the ’Thousand-Eye Array’ takes a long time to activate, once it is successfully initiated, it is as if the combined strength of all the Association’s Scholars is marshaled.]

[Even the ’Direct Vision Great Sage’ could not resist the collective force of eight Sages, a Great Sage, and the hundreds of Scholars within the Association!]

[At this moment, more and more strange eyes appeared on the walls, signalling that the ’Thousand-Eye Array’ was in its final preparation phase, ready to be unleashed!]

[You immediately opened the office door only to see the corridor deserted and eerily silent, not a single Scholar in sight.]

[Only countless, ever-multiplying bizarre eyes continued to emerge on the walls, more and more...]

[You knew that all Scholars within the Association had already gathered during your conversation with ’Sage Randor,’ combining everyone’s power to initiate the ’Thousand-Eye Array’...]

[You glanced at the glass window on the side of the corridor, raised your Magic Wand, and leaped towards the window!]

[Just as you were about to shatter the glass and escape to the outside world, a huge bizarre eye appeared on the glass, turning the thin layer as hard as an iron wall.]

[You were thwarted by the ’Thousand-Eye Array,’ unable to escape the ’Multivision Branch Association’!]

[You immediately switched to the Shell of the ’Son of the Initial Fire of Desire’!]

[Taking a deep breath, you swung the ’Sword of the Bloody King’ with all your might...]

[You didn’t strike the glass window; instead, you slashed at the solid wall beside it!]

[Before your terrifying power, there was no difference between the glass and the wall.]

[Amidst the burst of blood-red light, another giant bizarre eye emerged in front of your sword blade, blocking your attack.]

[The bloodlight caused only a slight ripple in the bizarre eye’s light and shadow, utterly unable to penetrate the Magic Array’s barrier...]

[You knew you were caught in an inescapable fate!]

[During the Magic Array’s preparation phase, the entire Direct Vision Branch Association Building had become a prison, a horrifying prison from which not even death could offer escape!]

[Once the Magic Array was fully activated, you would be thrust into its deep illusion, facing the terrifying Monster formed by the collected magic power of all the Scholars within the Association — the Thousand-Eye Giant!]

[The more Scholars united within the Association, the more formidable the ’Thousand-Eye Giant’s’ strength.]

[Unless you possessed the might to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Gods, there was no way you could withstand the ’Thousand-Eye Giant’.]

[Even if you exhausted all your strength to kill the ’Thousand-Eye Giant,’ as long as the Scholars had not depleted their magic power, that terrifying Giant could be continuously resurrected.]
