Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 932 - 437 Thousand-Eye Array_2

"And you will forever be lost in the illusion..."

"This is the terror of the ’Thousand-Eye Array’!"

"Damn! These scholars really are tough old coins!"

"Not to mention this nonsense about allied factions, neither the Direct View School nor the Polyvision School has any good in them!"

If the Direct View School wanted to control him, to imprison his freedom of movement, because the Direct View Great Prophet had prophesied that the messenger was the source of the world’s destruction, Lin Xun could understand the Direct View School’s actions.

But for the life of him, Lin Xun could not figure out why the Polyvision School also wanted to go against him.

The prophecies of the Multivision Great Prophet clearly stated that the messenger was the savior, unless the content of the Multivision Great Prophet’s prophecies was not as he had heard.

Lin Xun’s eyes turned cold: "Since you’re not friendly forces, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

He opened his inventory and clicked on ’Ring of Stars Shine’!

Although the Stars faction was chasing him out of enmity, their readiness to respond was even more eager than that of friendly factions.

"You have equipped ’Ring of Stars Shine’ (Special Equipment)!"

"The ring bursts into bright light, which, like starlight, seems to penetrate everything in its path, reaching high into the sky!"

"You have attracted the attention of a great being from the ’Bright Stars’ oath faction!"

"Due to your extremely high hate level and animosity within that faction, the faction will send down... "

"For unknown reasons, the faction did not send a powerful being to hunt you down."

"The dazzling starlight from the ring in your hand suddenly extinguishes, turning it into an ordinary ring."

"Huh?"

Lin Xun was shocked; his surefire ’Grand Summoning Technique—Evil God of Stars’ had actually failed.

In the past, he had summoned the projection of an Evil God of Stars several times at the Direct View Branch Association, but not only did the projection fail to take down this highly-hated traitor, it was instead beaten to death by a group of scholars.

Beat to death was bad enough, but the scholars also wanted to trace the Evil God’s true coordinates based on the residual aura of its descent into the world.

For the Evil God of Stars, this was outright entrapment.

Now, trying the same trick at the Multivision Branch Association, the gods would have to be fools to cooperate with his ’entrapment’ again.

If the Evil God of Stars could talk to him at this moment, it would probably say, "MMP, do you not understand your position? I’m here to hunt you, not to help you fight, and fighting could reveal my location... "

"Seeing the huge eerie eyes emerging one after another, and about to fill every inch of space in the hallway, you know the ’Thousand-Eye Array’ is about to activate."

"And once the magic array is activated, your doom will be sealed!"

Lin Xun took a deep breath: "You’d better pray I don’t escape, otherwise, I’ll massacre the entire Multivision Association!"

According to the memories of Sage Randor, once the ’Thousand-Eye Array’ enters the preparatory state, the entire Multivision Association becomes a prison—a prison you can’t even escape through death.

This magic array obviously has the same restraining effect as the ’Cage of the Stars’."

"Cage of the Stars? Yes, Cage of the Stars!"

An idea flashed through his mind, and he immediately clicked on an item in his Shell tab—’Teleportation Trap Device’.

He set the trigger condition to immediate activation, and naturally, the target of the device was himself.

With the ’Teleportation Trap Device’, he would be able to return instantly to Coleman’s workshop, where the teleportation painting was, and escape to freedom!

"You take out the ’Teleportation Trap Device’ and activate it without hesitation!"

"The Refined Copper device casts a pure white teleportation light, which quickly envelops your entire body!"

"Transporting..."

"..."

"At that moment, countless terrifying giant eyes all look at you at once, their cold, malicious gaze making your head spin and your body stiffen!"

"Teleportation terminated!"

"You’ve been attacked by an unknown force while teleporting, preventing the continuation of the transport."

"Damn you, damn you all to hell!"

Lin Xun couldn’t help but grind his teeth in anger, not expecting the trap teleport to be disrupted by the enemy’s attack.

The situation was extremely urgent; if he allowed the magic array to progress from the preparatory phase to the full activation stage, there was no way he could take on the entire Multivision Association of scholars on his own.

Even if he could kill that so-called ’Thousand-Eye Giant’, as long as the scholars’ mana wasn’t exhausted, he could not escape the illusion built by the magic array.

He would forever be trapped in the illusion of fighting the giant boss...

The Polyvision School seemed honest and upright, but in reality, they were even more ruthless than the Direct View Association.

No wonder the Great Sage of the Direct View had once told him that facing the Multivision Association would be even worse than his experience with the Direct View Association.

He took a deep breath, his brain working at lightning speed.

The more critical the moment, the calmer and clearer his thoughts became.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and switched Shells.

He then opened his item inventory again and clicked on another item.

[You have possessed the Shell of ’Seeker of Knowledge from the Direct View Branch Association Great Sage’!]

[Do you want to use the ’Scroll of Star Magic Skills’ (Mythical+ Class Item)?]

[Using this item, you will comprehend the Mythical+ Class Skill called ’Star Realm Shift’!]

[’Star Realm Shift’ (Mythical+ Class Skill): ...Using this skill, you will be able to teleport to any specified location within your current field of view! The farther the teleportation distance, the longer the spell’s chanting time, and the more mana consumed.]

[After the spell’s chanting is completed, you will enter the void, remaining immune to any damage until you teleport-flash to the designated location.]

[You can also use this skill in a non-combat state to teleport to any ’Rest Page’ that is not within your field of view! The fixed chanting duration is 300 seconds, and any movement or damage taken during this period will interrupt the spell.]

The main reason why the teleportation device couldn’t work was that it was interrupted by external attacks during the brief teleportation period.

With ’Star Realm Shift’, as soon as the spell chanting was completed, one would immediately enter the void, unaffected by any damage, thus ensuring a successful transport.

Star Realm Shift had two flaws, the first being that the instant teleportation target had to be in the field of view, essentially where one could see, and teleportation to a location obscured by objects, or a destination too far to be visible, would be impossible.

The second point was precisely what Lin Xun was most concerned about at the moment, the duration of the spell.

The farther the destination, the longer the casting time of the chant, and if the magic couldn’t be cast instantly, it would give the odd-eyed creatures a chance to disrupt his spellcasting.

[The ’Scroll of Star Magic Skills’ crumbled into fragments of powder and dust, revealing pictures made of points of starlight...]

[Countless stars in the vast void moved and spun rapidly with the passage of time...]

[It was like condensing millions of years into a moment, or focusing the light of billions of years from the river of time into an instant!]

[The magnificent and vast memories of the shifting of the stars, those streaks of light from the jumps, deeply etched themselves into your mind...]

[Comprehending...]

[...]

[Comprehension successful!]

[You have acquired the ’Star Realm Shift’ (Mythical+ Class Skill)!]

[By now, the ’Thousand-Eye Array’ had filled the entire Branch Association Building with countless strange eyes, and every corner within the building seen by the eyes represents the giant eyes of the magic array.]

[A dark shadow slowly descended from above, and you seemed to have already heard the terrifying roars of the giants coming from the void!]

[You stride to the window, press close against the odd eye on the window, and through the gap between two odd eyes, you gaze out into the mist...]

[Mythical+ Class Skill ’Star Realm Shift’, activated!]

[You set the teleportation destination to just outside the Association Building, the distance only a short span away through a thin pane of glass!] 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

[You raise your magic wand high, and dazzling starlight bursts forth, completely engulfing your figure!]

[All those numerous weird giant eyes turn their gaze toward you, but you have already vanished into the void.]

[While in the void, you see again the cold, endless Universe, with billions of stars twinkling and moving in a spectacular sight!]

[Meanwhile, just outside the Building’s windows, amidst layers of fog and just tens of centimeters beyond the glass, a point of starlight suddenly blossoms forth.]

[After briefly entering the void, you instantly reappear outside the Multivision Branch Association Building.]

[The feeling of being watched by countless eyes, that tingling on your scalp and the trembling of your body, swiftly recedes like the tide...]

[You know that you have successfully escaped the effective range of the ’Thousand-Eye Array’.]

[At this moment, you have a premonition and look up to the top floor of the building...]

[A figure in a magic robe flies out from it...]

[It holds a magic wand, and the countless eyes on its body simultaneously turn their chilling gaze towards you, just like those giant odd eyes!]
