Chapter 241 Leaving
"This is indeed an 'exit'."
Almost completely confirmed.
The world of illusion... is just another form of the Midgard Void.
This void manifests itself in the form of a vision that includes various scenes over a long period of time.
But this void has loopholes, that is... phantom creatures.
The clone speculated that if the phantom creature's "cognition" reached a certain level, then the phantom creature might leave.
If phantom creatures want to leave the phantom world, they must go through an exit.
This exit is the location of the tumbler.
This tumbler was specially made by the investigators to block the exit.
This means that the investigator may have realized in the end that the illusion is related to Midgard... and decided to block this only exit.
But no one knows how much the investigators actually know.
In short, the manifestation of these biologically constructed tumblers in the illusion world is an area that will devour illusion creatures.
This area devoured the phantom creatures and grew a large number of fungus-like things, which blocked the exit for a long time, making it impossible for the creatures here to leave.
The clone was able to enter this blocked place mainly because it discovered a way to use other illusions as 'carriers'.
That is the illusion of the overlapper that brought Lin here. The clone used this illusion as a carrier to enter the Tumbler.
Now the clone said...it now has a target.
It didn't want to leave here through the exit, but wanted to give its "knowledge" to Sharin's body.
This is also the original function of the clone, traveling in the void, seeing and encountering various things... and then giving all this information to Sharin.
During the time that the clone spent in the illusion world, he learned a lot of interesting information, mainly about the history of the Collapse of the Void.
Of course there is also a history of normal void.
This information cannot be communicated directly in the current way and is difficult to explain, so some special methods are needed to convey the information.
So now the clone hopes Lin can help it...get out of this exit.
Although it used the illusion of the overlapper as a carrier to come here, it could not continue to go out through the exit.
In fact, the clone only discovered that this was the exit after coming here. Before that, the clone didn’t know that this was the exit... The clone had always been curious about this place.
The way it leaves is that it can use Lin’s troops as a carrier.
Lin's troops are also illusions to it. In fact, all the normal void things it can see are illusions.
However, the clone can distinguish these illusions, such as the original illusions of the illusion world, the illusions of the real world outside, and... illusions that can serve as carriers and those that cannot serve as carriers.
Lin was also very interested in how it used other illusions as carriers, so she asked carefully.
The clone said that the carrier is actually adjusting its own 'frequency'.
It can be said that each phantom creature has its own specific frequency, such as the illusion of overlappers... the illusion of real creatures is the same.
As long as you change your own frequency to a state similar to that of another illusion, you can move with this illusion.
Simply put, the clone can change its frequency to a state similar to Lin's troops, and then it can move with Lin's troops. The same is true for the illusion of the overlapper who can move around with Lin's troops. As long as the illusion creature lives for a long time, it generally knows this adjustment method.
However, the clones are better adjusted than ordinary phantom creatures.
The clone can completely adjust itself and synchronize itself with another illusion so that it can't even 'see' it.
So it can hide in the overlapper and follow up this place.
But... it is still unclear whether it is possible to get out from the exit. The clone said it wanted to give it a try.
It also doesn't know what will happen if it gets out, but if it succeeds, it can give Lin and Sharin more detailed... information about everything about this illusion world.
Since it said so, Lin decided to let it try it.
As she spoke, Lin discovered that her clone began to... shake.
Its silhouette kept flickering in front of the pompom, which should be its way of adjusting its own 'frequency' to be the same as the pompom.
Lin was very interested in how it was adjusted. If she could get out successfully, she would probably know all the details of these illusions.
Although Lin felt that it might not be that simple.
After a while, Lin found that the flickering clone...had completely disappeared.
It looks like the synchronization was successful, although there's nothing special about it.
In that case...Lin will let the ball leave here first.
Before leaving, Lin continued to observe around, and when she didn't find anything special, she flew back the same way she came.
Soon, the ball of fluff flew back to the surface of the tumbler.
Although this ball of fluff came here on a flying vehicle, it still has to fly out by itself.
This is the only way to 'surely' bring the clone out of the exit... that's what the clone said.
When Lin returned to the surface of the Tumbler, she discovered some strange scenes on the surface.
Originally there were many sculpture-like things on the surface here, but now there is none left.
They seemed to have all disappeared, turning the surface into a vast wasteland.
And Sharlene didn't know where she was.
Sharin said earlier that it felt there was something on the surface that needed to be investigated, and then left.
Lin did not have any soldiers to follow Sharin in the investigation, but they kept in touch.
But... I can't get in touch with you now.
It seems that something interesting is happening on the surface.
'boom!'
When the ball of fluff flew high into the sky, Lin discovered that the ground in the distance suddenly exploded, and many things flew out along with the smoke and dust of the explosion.
These...are investigators.
The investigator's appearance looks a lot like... a fossil.
That is, a flat and smooth stone with a skeleton-like mark on it.
Each investigator is about ten meters in size, and there are now more than a hundred of them.
Lin had never learned from the historical stories of the overlappers why they looked like this.
Now it seems that we can know the specific situation of this group of creatures.
The fact that they appeared meant that this creature had not perished, but was still living in some form on this tumbler.
And their target seems to be Lin's fluff ball. Maybe they want to prevent the phantom creatures from escaping from this place?
While Lin was thinking this, these investigators also launched... an attack.
