Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2758: 1513: The Lord's Persistence (2)
Capítulo 2758: Chapter 1513: The Lord’s Persistence (2)
Yet, as Leo Ray’s power faded, the taunts from the top of the lofty tower grew bolder and more insolent.
“What nonsense. These days, even the lowliest creatures believe they can challenge our dominance.”
“Hah, if you have the guts to approach, we’ll demonstrate the might of genuine Peak Powers!”
“The Human Clan? No different from mere insects! Dreaming of ascending the high tower? You’d better assess your own strength first! Ridiculous!”
“Ultimately, what can such ants achieve? You amount to nothing, capable of nothing!”
…
“I…”
This barrage of jeers struck like relentless blows, scrambling Leo Ray’s already disordered mind further, nearly driving him to collapse.
Leo Ray had no idea of his location or actions, sensing only an overwhelming, infinite cold enveloping him.
Just as Leo Ray teetered on the brink of abandoning his thoughts and fully surrendering, a frantic and concerned crisp voice abruptly echoed in his ears.
“Lord, stay strong, don’t let the Nihility Illusion consume you! All of us await your return, we cannot survive without you! Observation City needs your guidance too!”
In that instant, this unexpected sound acted like a soothing beacon, clearing Leo Ray’s rigid thoughts considerably.
“Could this be Sheila speaking?”
Leo Ray’s eyes snapped open wide, his fists clenching with audible cracks.
Indeed, he carried the hopes of all and the fate of Observation City—how could he allow himself to be broken by such scorn and derision?
With that realization, Leo Ray gazed at the haughty silhouettes perched atop the high tower and declared steadily, “What’s so wrong with the Human Clan? Long ago, the Human Clan towered at the summit among the Ten Thousand Clans; the glory that was once ours, I will seize it back with my own hands.”
“Regarding you lot, confronting the looming Great Catastrophe, you’ve pushed your smugness and apathy to absurd heights.”
“Self-preservation? Yet how can eggs remain whole when the nest topples? Against the ravages of ‘the Corrosion’, it is you who are powerless, who achieve nothing.”
“And what you cannot achieve, the feats you fail to fulfill, I shall bring to pass. One day, I’ll show you through deeds that your pride is utterly meaningless!”
With Leo Ray’s words concluded, the encircling towers crumbled abruptly, the overbearing figures vanished, and all dissolved into profound, unending darkness.
“I never imagined the Nihility Illusion held such dread potency; I nearly succumbed right there.”
Leo Ray exhaled deeply and turned to the Stone Spirit at his side, grinning, “Sheila, thanks for that earlier…”
Yet, before Leo Ray could complete his sentence, his grin froze solid.
Before him lay not the comforting Stone Spirit, but shards of broken Divine Stone!
Sensing the eerie quiet and frost emanating from those Divine Stone pieces, Leo Ray found himself once more in shock, scarcely able to trust what he saw.
Before he could gather his wits, a sequence of alert tones abruptly sounded in his ears.
[Attention: The defense level of Observation City has now fallen to 20%!]
[Attention: The Central Temple of Observation City has been fully overrun by ‘the Corrosion’!]
[Attention: Lord Leo Ray, your defense has failed; you shall remain imprisoned here eternally!]
[Attention: Lord Leo Ray, you’ve truly let this God down, but it’s of no consequence—we can simply select another Lord.]
[Attention: Pathetic Lord Leo Ray, don’t imagine your Talent is one-of-a-kind, do you? Do you?]
[Attention: Foolish Lord Leo Ray, allow me to reveal that myriad Lords possess Talents far surpassing yours; you’re merely one among this God’s innumerable pieces, fancying yourself the redeemer? The chosen one?]
[Attention: Useless Lord Leo Ray, hear this: you’re nothing but a cast-off pawn in this God’s game! A discarded piece, just a discarded piece! This God wields absolute power!]
“It seems I’m still ensnared in the illusion; now it’s mimicking the prompting voices?”
After the first wave of alarm, the composed Leo Ray swiftly pieced it together.
From his familiarity with the prompting voices, he knew they would never adopt this manner, nor call themselves this God.
To be precise, the prompting voices do hail from a Deity, but its summoning of us Otherworldly Lords indicates it lacks total omnipotence, though the cause remains a mystery.
“As for myself, whether my Talent stands alone or proves worthless.”
“Having arrived in this world, I’m determined to uncover my purpose here; that’s my resolve, the mission I must fulfill. I disregard the rest, so these barbs hold no sway over me.”
At those words, silence enveloped everything once more.
The instant after, the vast, abyssal darkness around him fractured, and fierce winds began howling in his ears.
When his sight cleared, Leo Ray realized.
He remained in the infinite void, with Sheila gripping his wrist firmly.
“Lord, snap out of it! You must channel your energy to counter the void astral wind, or all our efforts will be wasted!”
Sheila’s urgent plea resonated deeply within Leo Ray.
Only then did Leo Ray truly perceive the powerful tearing force assailing him; without Sheila’s hold, he would have surely drifted into the Void Space’s depths ages ago.
Meanwhile, Moli continued meditating before the Space Magic Array, but with him and Sheila halting their energy input, the array had dimmed, and Moli’s refined features had turned alarmingly ashen.
“Got it!”
Leo Ray steadied his focus, downing several Charging Potions first, then unleashing the rushing power from his core, amplified by the Power of Divine Grace, which immediately revitalized the fading Energy Barrier around him.
As the Energy Barrier grew denser and more robust, the void astral wind’s impact lessened sharply, steadying Leo Ray’s form anew.
“Young Human Clan fellow, you’ve pulled yourself together at last!”
Moli’s weak voice transmitted via the mana thread, pressing urgently into Leo Ray’s ear, “Hurry, resume powering the magic array! I was on the verge of committing fully, reaching the pivotal stage!”
As Moli urged, Leo Ray responded promptly, directing his abundant mana once more from his hand into the Energy-Supplying Array ahead.
Reassured, Sheila swiftly resumed her position, pressing both palms to the Energy-Supplying Array. Bolstered by Leo Ray and Sheila, the faded array blazed back to life.
“Apologies, I lost focus for a moment there.”
Leo Ray gave Sheila a nod, then addressed Moli via Magic Communication.
“No apologies needed; you’ve done remarkably well already. While ensnared in the Nihility Illusion, you also faced that uncommon void astral wind, which amplifies the illusion manifold.”
Moli arched a delicate brow, replying softly.
Moli recalled vividly that her own initial plunge into Void Space’s depths had trapped her in the Nihility Illusion for much longer than Leo Ray’s ordeal, without even factoring in the void astral wind.
Thus, Leo Ray’s rapid emergence had far surpassed what this young woman had anticipated.
“I must admit, this Human Clan youth possesses real talent.”
Moli mused inwardly, her efforts unwavering, soon beads of perspiration dotting her fair brow, signaling she’d entered the intense search juncture.
Moments later, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she announced joyfully to Leo Ray, “Young Human Clan fellow, fortune smiles on you—I believe I’ve located a spatial passage to Observation City!”
