Primordial Sin System Chapter 589-Illusion Queen
Previously on Primordial Sin System...
Victorious Dave stood amid the clearing where the golem's shattered remains still emitted smoke, and an odd disturbance started rippling through the atmosphere.
An abrupt, eerie chill swept across him, as though the entire world gazed upon him, poised for his following action.
He whipped around abruptly, detecting a presence at his back, and spotted it: that identical massive, blood-red eyeball from earlier, hovering in the sky with a bizarre, mesmerizing glow.
Dave had no chance to respond before the eyeball winked, causing the surrounding reality to contort and distort wildly.
The earth split beneath his feet, sucking him instantly into a chaotic whirlpool of vivid hues.
A fleeting dizziness gripped him as his surroundings elongated and contracted, like being crammed into a different realm.
Once the whirl ceased, Dave touched down gently, his golden aura igniting to steady his balance.
"Whoa~"
Dave glanced about and beheld an unusual sight. The forest from his golem battle was gone.
Now he stood within a verdant woodland where all things loomed enormous around him.
Trees soared overhead, their massive trunks requiring a group to encircle.
Grass reached his shoulders, while flowers unfurled like oversized, vibrant lamps.
The atmosphere carried a richer sweetness, laced with an alluring, heady aroma.
"Well, this is new," Dave muttered, scanning his surroundings with interest.
"This place is massive. Did I shrink, or is everything here just way too big?"
Before exploring more, a shape stepped out from behind a colossal tree.
It was a tall, muscular man with chiseled traits and a confident demeanor.
His raven hair flowed back in sleek waves, dark eyes gleaming with an ethereal spark.
He donned elegant robes embroidered in gold with elaborate designs.
Dave couldn't help but notice how perfectly handsome he was—practically a living statue. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
'Even so, I am still more handsome.'
"Who dares enter my domain?" the man demanded, his tone silky yet authoritative.
Dave arched a brow, flashing a grin.
"Well, hello there. I wasn't expecting to meet such a handsome guy in the middle of this… giant forest. But hey, if this is your domain, you must be a pretty big deal, huh?"
The man's gaze sharpened faintly, puzzled by Dave's reply. "I am the King of this domain. Do you not know who I am?"
Dave cocked his head. "You're the King? You don't look like a king, you know. I mean, I'm not complaining, but I was expecting something a little more... royal."
A smirk tugged at the figure's lips, though his look held an uncanny edge.
"You are bold, I'll give you that," he stated. "But don't mistake my appearance for weakness. I will not be easily fooled."
"Not fooled?" Dave chuckled. "Please. I'm not easily fooled either. Besides, I've got a great sense of smell, and I can tell you're definitely not a man."
He leaned forward, inhaling deeply with dramatic flair. "Hmm... there it is. Definitely a woman. You've got that sweet scent about you."
The figure stiffened briefly, evidently surprised. "You… you can smell that?" she queried, her voice laced with a flustered hint.
Dave's grin broadened. "Oh, I've got the nose of a bloodhound when it comes to things like that. Trust me, I know when a lady's in front of me."
The figure's face altered, and Dave briefly sensed her embarrassment.
Yet surprisingly, she offered a cunning smile. "So, you figured me out. Very clever, but it doesn't matter. You're still in my domain, and I control everything here."
Dave dismissed it with a wave. "Yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before. So, what are you going to do? Turn me into a frog? Make me fall in love with you? Because, let me tell you, that last one is a lost cause."
The Illusion Queen laughed ominously. "No, I have something much better in mind."
With a finger snap, the environment rippled and transformed, bending reality to her command.
Abruptly, Dave stood within an opulent palace of gilded walls and soaring pillars.
Polished marble floored the space, perfumed air heavy with luxury scents. He blinked, stunned. "What the—?"
"Welcome to my world. Let me introduce myself, I am the Illusion Queen" the Illusion Queen's voice resounded everywhere. "Here, you are mine to control."
Dave smirked. "Oh, nice try, sweetheart. I've dealt with illusions before. I'm not falling for this."
Yet the illusion intensified. Suddenly, Dave sat at a lavish feast table amid stunning women in ornate gowns.
They adored him, serving delicacies and beverages, eyes brimming with awe.
"Oh, Dave, you're so strong and handsome," one cooed, her tone sending chills through him.
"Why don't you stay here with us? We can give you everything you've ever wanted."
Dave surveyed the scene, grin intact. "Oh, I've definitely been in this kind of situation before. I'm not buying it."
Then the women's faces warped. Eyes blackened, grins turned nightmarish.
Features twisted into ugliness, revealing fangs and crimson-glowing orbs.
The elegant hall morphed into a grim cavern, dread saturating the thick air.
Dave shrugged casually. "Eh, a little horror to spice things up. I'll admit, that's a nice touch."
The vision altered anew, placing Dave in a blazing chasm.
Earth fractured, fires nipping at his boots.
Beasts pounced, talons slashing futilely. Dave, utterly composed, pocketed his hands and yawned.
"Alright, I'll give you credit for creativity," Dave remarked, ignoring the terror.
"But this is starting to get a little repetitive, don't you think?"
As words left him, monsters dissolved, supplanted by his own image—in a absurd clown garb, tossing pies with a bulbous red nose.
The spectacle ridiculed him, as if the illusion mocked outright.
"Is this your idea of a joke?" Dave asked, eyeing his clownish double.
"Nice try. But I'm done playing around."
Fists tightened, power coursed within. "I've been in worse situations than this. Illusions won't work on me."
Yet escape eluded; reality twisted further.
Now layered illusions assaulted him, each wilder than before.
Instantly, he drifted in void amid colossal drifting burgers.
Then pursued by enraged giant fowl. Next, isolated amid hordes of minuscule laughing selves.
Dave chuckled despite it. "Okay, I'll admit it. This is starting to get funny. But you know what? I'm still not impressed."
Illusions persisted relentlessly, cycling without end.
Reality and dream merged hazily, trapping Dave in infinite illusion layers.
Nonetheless, composure held against the shifting chaos.
"I've got all day," Dave declared, cracking knuckles. "Let's see what else you've got, Illusion Queen."
