Chapter 145: Chapter 65: Xu Ran: Actually, I Am Also a Mech God! [8,000 Words, Please Subscribe!]

On a battlefield strewn with ’corpses’.

Xu Ran’s mind was racing, trying to comprehend everything happening on the battlefield and attempting to unravel the truth from the mist.

When he understood everything that was happening, the path to break through the situation gradually began to emerge in Xu Ran’s mind...

He was certain of one thing.

What he now saw and heard was a {Large-scale Illusion Skill}.

Or more accurately, it wasn’t just a {Large-scale Illusion Skill}, but also included Spiritual Shock.

Realistic illusions and feelings of horror, despair, suffocation were stuffed into people’s minds, forming this perfect {Illusion Skill} that was difficult to resist.

If one allowed the {Large-scale Illusion Skill} to strike the heart, lost confidence, lost the ability to resist, and didn’t consider the life and death of comrades, but instead chose to flee, then today’s calamity would be inescapable!

Cowardice and fleeing would instantly turn the {Large-scale Illusion Skill} into reality!

All the cultivators outside the safe zone would have their heads explode and die.

”Fortunately, I didn’t run...”

”All thanks to my life-preserving ability. Just now... at the moment when all the cultivators, including the Crystal Beasts, had their heads explode, I believed I still had the ability to escape, and I definitely wouldn’t die.”

”So my first reaction was only momentary panic. I didn’t think of fleeing immediately.”

”Moreover, at the moment after the explosion occurred, I didn’t feel sadness, I didn’t feel anger, I was only puzzled... My emotions didn’t fluctuate violently, indicating that my belief was resilient and wasn’t crushed by Spiritual Shock. This is crucial.”

Xu Ran took a deep breath, his heart gradually returning to a steady beat...

When the explosion happened.

His heart thumped like a drum, seemingly hinting to him how terrifying and despairing the scene before him was.

But at this moment, having endured it, the so-called terrifying images could no longer stir any emotional turmoil in him.

”No...”

”Fear is still growing in my heart?”

Xu Ran frowned tightly.

He realized there was an uncontrollable fear growing in his heart, eating away at his beliefs.

”It shouldn’t be.”

Xu Ran concentrated, silently attempting a Fear Clearing on himself.

”No effect?”

”I clearly understand that I’m no longer afraid, but my body, heart, and brain are telling me I’m afraid?”

Xu Ran felt baffled.

He realized this was the terrifying aspect of the {Large-scale Illusion Skill}—it’s interconnected in layers.

Even if one temporarily remains awake, the {Large-scale Illusion Skill} will slowly and incrementally, using the most real, most immersive fear and despair... impact the spirit of the sober ones, deceive their cognition...

Causing them to lose their rationality in subsequent impacts, and completely sink.

”The {Large-scale Illusion Skill} wants to erase my awareness, make me completely lose my resistance, utterly sink into the {Large-scale Illusion Skill}... The speed is so fast that I’m actually starting to waver?”

”The other cultivators on the battlefield are probably also experiencing this step of sinking again!”

There was no doubt.

Xu Ran’s guess was correct.

The members of the four Godslaying Squads, at the first moment when the {Large-scale Illusion Skill} descended, instinctively thought it was an illusion. They maintained a brief awareness... and attempted to charge out of the battlefield to launch an attack on the manipulator behind it.

For instance, Xiao Xue of the Fire Prison Godslaying Squad.

When the surrounding companions and comrades... had their heads explode into blood mist in an instant.

Her chest heaved violently. Sweat drenched her body.

She opened her mouth wide, her eyes staring straight at her surroundings, at her teammates falling from midair.

She couldn’t accept this as actually happening!!

”No, it’s impossible, our Fire Prison Godslaying Squad couldn’t possibly be killed by the Resentful Beasts in an instant! We can’t be so fragile!!”

”It’s all an illusion!”

Xiao Xue gritted her teeth, her rebuttal was full of grief and disbelief.

This was fatal.

Because one of the pathways for illusion invasion is through intense emotional fluctuations.

Her grief became the best medium for the {Large-scale Illusion Skill} to invade the mind.

She didn’t even realize... boundless despair had already been planted in her mind, she no longer saw the scene before her as an illusion... She was controlled by the illusion, lost her ability to act, and was pulled into endless darkness...

”Defeated... our Fire Prison Squad was defeated like this...”

Xiao Xue’s eyes lost their light, she collapsed powerlessly on the ground... watching the battlefield turn into a river of blood...

The blood came from her comrades, from her comrades-in-arms with whom she lived day and night...

The blood grew more and more, flooding her eyes...

She was completely submerged... completely lost consciousness...

...

The same scene.

Occurred to every member of the Fire Prison Godslaying Squad. They wanted to fight with all their might, but as they watched their comrades die tragically, they couldn’t suppress the grief and anger in their hearts, which became a drag, leading to further severe erosion.

This was a meticulously constructed trap, exploiting the brilliance of humanity.

Exploiting the camaraderie of the Godslaying Squad.

The Fire Prison Godslaying Squad, fully defeated.

And the Purifying Soul Godslaying Squad, also sunk into the {Large-scale Illusion Skill}...

Even the captain Lin Feng, who was adept at reasoning, lost most of his rationality when he saw his teammates explode catastrophically. Sweat soaked his entire body, his heart pounding almost to the point of breaking.

”No!”

”Impossible!”

”How could we... how could we face such a crushing defeat?!”

Lin Feng quickly rushed out, trying to catch the bodies of his teammates, but how could he catch six bodies alone? He only heard a few heavy thuds.
