Chapter 240 Exit

The tumbler that devours illusions... The clone has known this place for a long time, but has never been able to get close to it.

This tumbler has a deep relationship with the investigator.

The investigators had previously carefully investigated the matter of illusions and recorded a large amount of Midgard's deeds through illusions.

Investigators have this ability mainly because they have learned how to influence illusions, or construct illusions.

Investigators have also communicated with phantoms.

The phantoms that communicated with the investigators were not phantom creatures, but ordinary phantoms.

Ordinary illusions can also appear to be similar to living creatures, but they are not like awakened illusions that can leave their own era and float throughout the illusion world.

They will always stay in their own era and will never leave.

In fact, the clone doesn't know how deep the investigators' understanding of the illusion is. Do they know the deep connection between the illusion and Midgard, or do they think that the illusion is really a manifestation of the past era... The clone is not sure.

It’s mainly about the clone’s understanding of the investigator, which is also Lin’s understanding of the investigator.

The various situations of the investigators can only be known through the history of the overlappers.

In the end, the investigator turned himself into something like a sculpture, and no one knew why.

Only the clone knew that this tumbler appeared very early, but of course it was not a tumbler at first.

In fact, the Tumbler was formed slowly, but from the very beginning, it had the ability to devour phantom creatures.

The number of phantom creatures was increasing at that time, and some of them had gathered into quite large groups, but these creatures began to slowly die out at some point.

The clone discovered from that time...that many awakened creatures began to move towards one place.

These creatures have a great interest in that place, and they themselves don't know why, but they will keep rushing there and then die there.

The clone has never been there before. Every time it observes the situation there from a long distance.

These phantom creatures initially gathered in a place where there was nothing, and then slowly... disappeared there.

After some phantom creatures disappeared, a lot of fungus-like things began to slowly appear in the places where they disappeared.

There was only a small group of them there at first, and then more and more phantom creatures came there.

These organisms that arrive will be stuck to the fungus and then disappear one after another.

Except for the initial batch, the later ones of these phantom creatures were more conscious, that is, when they found themselves stuck, they would try to escape, but they could not.

More and more of these phantom creatures died, and those fungus-like things became more and more numerous.

Finally...it turned into a sphere the size of a tumbler.

The clone itself was not attracted to the fungus ball, but it also felt that it was dangerous to itself, so it did not approach it.

Through long-term observation and research, and after finally obtaining enough information from Lin, the clone can confirm... this is a 'roadblock'.

Basically, there are two situations for all illusion creatures.

One is to always believe that you are wandering in the time tunnel, and finally choose to settle down and develop somewhere.

Another thing is that they have been wandering in the world of illusion all the time. The longer they wander, the more they will... understand this world.

Like the clones, there are many creatures trying to study and understand this illusory world.

Of course, other creatures’ understanding of the illusory world is not as good as that of the clone.

As long as these creatures know enough, they will all go to the location of the 'fungus ball' and get stuck there.

The clone discovered that these creatures were not actually attracted by the fungus ball, but that the location of the fungus ball was actually an exit.

That is... the exit to the illusion world.

After leaving from this exit, you can leave the illusion world and become a free creature.

The 'illusion world' is a very large place. Generally speaking, its size is the sum of the sizes of those spaces that can manifest illusions.

Even if these spaces that were originally collapsed void entered the normal void, formed void tunnels and then shattered again, these processes had no effect on the illusion world.

The size of the illusion world has not changed, and of course the creatures inside cannot leave this size range.

In addition to moving in distance, the illusion world can also perform "time movement", which means that illusion creatures can see the surrounding void scenery.

As long as you move through time, you can see the scenery of different eras, and of course you can also see different illusions that match these eras.

However, the most important thing is that this exit is always there.

Any creature that has lived long enough in the illusion world and has not settled down anywhere... will sense where the exit is and try to go there.

They need to get close to the exit first, which requires reaching a point in both location and time before they can feel it.

Then you will be attracted by the exit and slowly be led there.

All phantom creatures will be attracted as soon as they approach the exit, except for the clone.

The clone is not attracted, so it can continue to observe the situation.

It's just that those fungus-like things are blocking the exit, which will capture any phantom creatures that approach and devour them, making it impossible for them to pass through the exit.

At first, the clone was not sure that this place was the 'exit', which was only confirmed recently.

That's because the clone only recently learned how to approach the fungus ball.

Of course, this is also related to Lin... and those overlapping illusions.

The group of overlapping illusions that Lin encountered...they were relatively special illusions.

They can be considered to have awakened from ordinary illusions to illusion creatures, but after awakening... they can no longer wander around the entire illusion world like other illusion creatures.

Because the place where the overlapper's illusion 'lives' is a separate location, separated from the entire illusion world.

Although the clone knows they are there and understands some of their situations, it cannot approach them directly.

In fact, there are several such separated areas, which are separate areas that are not connected to the illusion world.

The phantom creatures inside cannot enter the phantom world and can only stay in their separate areas.

And there are ways to bring these creatures out of their separate areas and into the world of illusion.

In fact, it is through Lin that they are brought out.

Creatures like Lin that are "connected" to Midgard can be used as carriers to carry phantom creatures away from the area that traps them.

Therefore, Lin can bring the illusion of the overlapper... back to the illusion world.

But it seems that the creatures in the illusion world cannot be taken out. Maybe there is something special about the illusion world. Only the creatures in those small areas can leave through Lin, but the creatures in the illusion world cannot.

But the clone believed that Lin could get them through the exit safely.
