I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 509 - 13: Nine-tailed Goddess

Gu Mo walked to the front of the magic circle and examined the intricate and complex technique.

He pondered for a moment.

Coming to this replica without attempting the summoning of Heroic Spirits seems a bit unreasonable... but obviously, it would be meaningless. The connection between the boundary recording belt and the singularity is very unstable, and although the Heroic Spirit Throne is not entirely isolated, the signal is still poor.

In other words, under normal circumstances, the Heroic Spirits from the Heroic Spirit Throne are no longer able to come over...

Otherwise, there would be no reason for the summoning to fail.

Having just seen Akai Hinako’s summoning failure, Gu Mo naturally understood this point very clearly. He lightly shook his head, but at this moment, a strange feeling suddenly arose, perhaps it was a stroke of inspiration, perhaps it was an epiphany, or perhaps he sensed a nonexistent wavelength sweeping past.

But it couldn’t be confirmed; it seemed to be merely a momentary illusion.

"..."

"..."

He stood in place with a hint of confusion, looking up at the sky. The sun and the light bands in the sky crisscrossed, creating an unimaginable blue and clarity in the divine era’s sky. One end of the rapidly shifting cloud layers revealed the deep blue sky, as if piercing through everything with a profound blue.

But that’s all; there’s nothing else.

There was no ubiquitous, chaotic, inexplicable consciousness converging from all directions, no torrent of wills shouting in unison like countless men, women, elders, and children, no whispers rising and falling like waves echoing through consciousness, nor any dull will resonating from the depths of the earth.

There was nothing; the fleeting inspiration seemed to be his mere illusion.

Of course, it might not be.

Gu Mo swiftly contemplated; suddenly, he was struck by a strange realization, or perhaps he was mistaken—

Maybe he wasn’t, as one among the myriad beings in this world, connected to Araiyer’s vast system, as inconspicuous as a drop of water in the ocean... but conversely, precisely because he was utterly incompatible, that previous situation occurred?

Others failed to see the true face of Mount Lushan because they were in this very mountain, while he, though human, was not one from this world. Hence, the invisible force vortex, which should have been unconsciously activated and unnoticed by anyone, instead was perceptible to him? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Of course, it might also be related to being in the deep dream created by Merlin at the time.

The dream demon and human hybrid magician needed deep dreams to ensure their own safety, but from another perspective, the deeper the dream, the closer it was to the subconscious sea of beings...

Thus, now awake in reality, he couldn’t feel that clear perception. Restrictive force is an invisible force vortex with the purpose of prolonging the present world, and because it is unconscious, it occurs unnoticed and unrecognized by anyone.

But after experiencing it once, he might have some connection, however minor.

So was that just now... a kind of "revelation"?

Standing at the summoning array, deep in thought, Gu Mo finally made a decision. He glanced around, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping past the nearby house before crouching down and, as if lifting a carpet, gently lifting the corner above the magic circle.

He quickly rolled up the carpet bearing the magic circle’s pattern, leaving only a square blank space on the original ground.

Lie and trickery, cognition is reality.

Through the power of authority to overwrite "truth" with lies, he could achieve many unimaginable things, similar to the effects seen in cartoons, such as pushing open drawn doors and windows on walls, lifting himself by grabbing his own hair, and now this—

Despite the design being drawn directly on the ground, he could roll it up and take it away, all possible.

This power of authority is very convenient, transcending the divine domain in some sense as a power of all things. Although the higher the level and larger the scale of things he wants to distort, the greater the corresponding consumption and higher the requirements for himself, it gives him a feeling of wearing a mask.

Even though it’s a weakened version, it could constantly exert influence according to his own will, molding the desired outcome without the side effects of letting himself go or being reckless.

After packing up the magic circle, a sword light shot out swiftly from the small valley, in an instant already far away, its speed not at all inferior to Ishtar’s Divine Ship.

Inside the nearby wooden cabin.

The witch was grinding the herbs in the mortar while comparing the ancient formula of the Immortal, her movements suddenly paused slightly but quickly resumed as if nothing had happened. She originally didn’t believe this person couldn’t fly; now it was merely confirmed.

......

Not far from Mount Abif, the sword light descended once more.

After all, Gu Mo’s main intention was to avoid Akai Hinako, who might return at any moment, to avoid the embarrassment of being discovered secretly engaging in summoning.

Additionally, he was somewhat uncertain whether he had just received a "revelation" or was merely overthinking. The current situation was that the Heroic Spirit Throne already couldn’t send anyone anymore, which was an established, objective reality. Since Akai Hinako couldn’t accomplish the task, it should be the same result if he tried.
