My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 339 Deception and Simulation, Reality and Disguise!
Single-target skills were ineffective, so Xia Lin decisively switched to area-of-effect attacks!

The Ghost Five Elements Black Blaze Slash is a flexible skill with ever-changing and unpredictable forms.

At this moment, Xia Lin had a thought, and the power of the Ghost Five Elements Black Emperor Slash spread out like ripples.

It has no destructive power whatsoever; it only causes pollution.

However, pollution itself is a powerful tool against fraud!
Just as Xia Lin took a step forward and the ripples began to spread, the black ocean in front of him surged once again.

The power of deception roared, distorting space. On one hand, it blocked Xia Lin's steps, infinitely lengthening the spatial distance between Xia Lin and the planet of deception. On the other hand, it merged with itself, quickly transforming into powerful figures of different appearances!
A celestial being with an air of otherworldly grace.

There are martial artists with imposing presence.

There are burly, limit-breaking individuals.

There are demons, mechanical beings, elves, and dwarves.

They come in various shapes and sizes, but all possess an astonishing presence.

This is none other than the various powerful beings that have been devoured and created through deception over countless millennia!

A faint black light flowed from the bodies of the clones, and then they raised their heads in unison.

With a misstep, and aided by the power of the deceptive space, they traversed the chaotic, layered space and instantly appeared before Xia Lin.

However, what flashed past was only an explosive gust of sword wind!
"Extinction of all living beings!"

The Eighteen Forms of the Evil Sword: Annihilation of All Living Beings!
Endless sword energy slashed out from Xia Lin's twin swords, converging into a powerful sword energy storm that spread in all directions!
The black sword light was filled with dense dark energy.

At the same time, the Spirit World Book on Xia Lin's chest glowed faintly, having already taken effect since the start of the battle!
On one hand, it helped Xia Lin become immune to the skill judgment weighting of the eleventh-level evil god!
On the other hand, being in this place, the Spirit Book also greedily absorbs the power of deception, causing the deception points within it to rise rapidly.

When the sword of annihilation was unleashed, Xia Lin finally revealed the fruits of his ten years of preparation!

—Any deception clone struck by the sword energy will have its wound rapidly contaminated, with nanobots transforming into flesh and blood, thereby destroying the underlying logic of the deception's existence.

—At the same time, an immense suction force surged from Xia Lin's body, and the Spirit World Book operated at full power, drawing in the power of deception and merging it into his body, transforming it into deception points!

This double suppression was difficult even for a level eleven evil god like Deception to withstand.

Xia Lin's laughter suddenly rang out amidst the storm of sword energy.

“That’s it! That’s it!?”

"If that's the only way, then you're definitely going to die today!"

As soon as the words fell, an even more magnificent sword light roared forth.

"The evil calamity is tearing the heavens and earth apart!"

The sword light that pierced through heaven and earth and the universe shone brightly in an instant.

The dense black sword light easily shattered space and also easily destroyed the spatial maze trap created by the power of deception!
The spatial barriers leading to the fraudulent planet collapsed in an instant.

Xia Lin merged with his sword, transforming into a beam of sword light, and instantly charged to the middle of the Black Sea.

Behind him, the newly formed deceptive clones disintegrated and disappeared like sand sculptures encountering a storm, ceasing to exist.

However, the fraud that created so many clones only consumed less than one percent of the nanobots in the Black Sea.

……

Within Di Yun's body, in the Eight Guardian World, at the Xia family's main residence.

Through Scarlett's methods, Xia Tian shared Xia Lin's current perspective.

When Xia Lin saw Xia Lin crush the hundreds and thousands of level eleven clones with unstoppable momentum, Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's done!"

Yes, it's done.

In his summer memories, the most difficult challenge in his battle against fraud was dealing with the fraudulent clones.

The power of evil gods is generally stronger than that of other powerful individuals of the same level.

And this strength is not just about being slightly or even a fraction stronger... it could even create a terrifying and despairing gap!

According to the theory of fraud, it has thousands of clones! The first hundred numbered clones are all at level eleven.

One of its evil gods is equivalent to a collection of over a hundred level 11 powerhouses!

Even more outrageous is that, because these clones are essentially clusters of nanobots, these monsters can regenerate indefinitely as long as they are replenished with nanobots!
—The nanorobots have recorded the code for the clone form, so they can quickly reassemble!
The Di Yun of yesteryear was somewhat reckless. Once he found the location of the deceitful true form, he drew his sword and attacked without saying a word.

Hatred destroys reason, that's...

It wasn't until the very last moment before his defeat that Di Yun realized just how vast the gap was between himself and deception.

But Xia Lin is different now.

With the power of the Dark Source and the Book of Spirits in hand, he possessed the ability to destroy fraud at its root.

No matter how many deceptive clones or puppets there are, they are all meaningless under this extreme restraint.

At this moment, Xia Lin had already defeated the deceptive clone army.

The planet of deception, which is also the location of the true form of deception, has opened its doors to Xia Lin.

With his great revenge about to be taken, Xia Tian's expression relaxed, revealing a hint of anticipation.

Suddenly a sound rang in my ears.

It's Scarlett's voice.

"strangeness……"

The questioning tone made Xia Tian turn to look at Scarlett, who then slowly said, "Two things that are puzzling to me."

"First, it is said that evil gods are without wisdom, and deception is no exception. But judging from the conversation and speech just now, as well as its previous performance, deception has shown a certain degree of wisdom and intelligence."

Before Summer could speak, Scarlett added, "I know that its intelligence comes from its clones, or a kind of artificial intelligence. But as I understand it, artificial intelligence is also a kind of intelligence, which contradicts the theory that evil gods have no intelligence."

Xia Tian opened his mouth, then shrugged: "The theory that evil gods have no intelligence probably means that evil gods do not have their own souls... Having no soul and having no intelligence can be equated to some extent, but they are not exactly the same."

The existence of evil gods is too bizarre to be studied in depth.

Even the Righteous Alliance, an organization specifically targeting evil gods, struggles to grasp the full picture of them.

The explanation Xia Tian gave at this moment was the conception of fraud within the Righteous Alliance—but the conception was actually just speculation.

That's why the word "maybe" was used in the summer.

Scarlett didn't refute or argue, but simply continued speaking with a deep gaze.

"Secondly, since fraud has already demonstrated a certain level of intelligence, its operational choices are highly problematic."

Through Xia Lin's perspective, Scarlett could clearly see that after the Black Sea had just wiped out a wave of clone legions, it was in turmoil again, with a second and even a third wave of clone legions launching a desperate charge!
This has no purpose other than depleting the deception's own power, and it can hardly slow down Xia Lin's progress.

For an intelligent level eleven, such a combat choice is tantamount to being out of one's mind and falling prey to the king of cowards.

Xia Tian chuckled: "Maybe it doesn't have any other options..."

This explanation seems plausible.

While Xia Lin was talking to Scarlett, Xia Lin had already arrived in front of the Deception Planet and brought it into his attack range.

The two swords are crossed.

"Inscribed with a cross!"

The cross-shaped sword light shot out like a laser cannon, hurtling towards the deceptive planet!
This blow was fatal enough!

However, just as the sword flashed and reached the sky above the deceptive planet...

The nearby Black Sea twisted again.

The same sword light emerged from the Black Sea and landed precisely on the cross inscription that Xia Lin had made!

That's also an inscription on the cross!
The two identical cross inscriptions collided, canceling each other out and disintegrating simultaneously.

Xia Lin suddenly turned her head to look to the side.

Then, amidst the ebb and flow of the Black Sea, nanobots reconstructed themselves, and a figure of Di Yun, exactly like himself, emerged from the Black Sea, blocking the path between himself and the Deceptive Planet!
Xia Lin suddenly laughed loudly.

"Fraud!? What a fraud!"

Inside her body, Scarlett's eyes widened in realization, and she spoke softly.

"It's a fraud, but it's not a fraud either..."

"The very name 'fraud' is itself a form of fraud."

"Because of this name, the essential nature of fraud is concealed."

"simulation……"

Inside and outside the body, Scarlett and Charlin spoke simultaneously, uttering the word "simulation".

Meanwhile, Di Yun, composed of the power of deception, slowly spoke.

A deep, mechanical voice boomed from its mouth.

Yes, it's a simulation.

Deception is a power bestowed upon me by the primal dark side.

Simulation, however, is my true origin!

This made Xia Lin turn around and look behind him.

Behind them, those deceitful clones who charged forward recklessly, seemingly willing to die, had almost completely vanished...

But only close.

There were also a few, scattered, and pitifully few nanobots that miraculously survived the pollution from the Black Source and were quietly reintegrated into the Black Sea.

However, the infection in them does not spread.

Instead, it merged with the Black Sea, was analyzed by its own kind, and eventually became one with it.

Disaster is nourishment.

Adversity brings growth.

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

[And now…]

The deceptive clone resembling Di Yun also raised its longsword.

You are no longer my nemesis.

The two swords clashed, their light flowing freely.

The evil calamity tore the heavens and shattered the earth!

There was a "ding" sound.

The four swords clashed together, creating a howling gale in the void!

The two identical metal giants stood extremely close together, their deceitful eyes devoid of any emotion, while Xia Lin's eyes were full of smiles.

"I knew it, the evil god shouldn't be that simple."

"But that's what makes it interesting!"

……

Adversity brings growth, while favorable circumstances bring blind spots.

Previously, using Di Yun's corpse as the battlefield, Xia Lin and Xia Tian successfully tricked the three deceitful clones.

Even the deaths of No. 28, No. 13, and No. 7 were not reported back at all.

This led Xia Lin and Xia Tian to naturally assume that the black source pollution had an unsolvable restraining effect on fraud.

Restraint is correct, but having no solution is wrong.

Four longswords, like streams of black light, intertwined in the void.

The two giants moved with incredible agility, displaying the exquisite skill of martial arts.

Amidst the fierce battle, the conversation continued. "It definitely should be a simulation. I should have realized it was a simulation, because what you use most is actually simulation!"

Personification and objectification.

These nanorobots are like the smallest molecules, capable of arranging and combining at will to form anything of any shape or form!

Even the county magistrate exhibited this characteristic—his clone successfully simulated the appearance of the original body, without any effort, as if it were an instinct.

“And before that, I didn’t give you the opportunity to simulate the power of the Dark Source.”

"But when I personally visited you and used the power of the Dark Source, I gave you the conditions to simulate the power of the Dark Source, and even to master it."

The sword light flashed and disappeared, the two separated after a brief contact, and then collided again.

A fraudulent voice rang out.

That's right.

"I only need a small sample and a little time to simulate the so-called Dark Source Power you speak of."

Logically speaking, there is no such thing as a restraint relationship. My form and the nature of my power dictate that I cannot be restrained by any form of power.

The sword flashed again, and the deception retreated abruptly.

Counterfeit goods are not as powerful as genuine ones.

However, replenished by the Black Sea, its injuries heal rapidly, and its energy is virtually limitless...

Oh, Xia Lin in his Black Source Overlord form also has unlimited energy, then it's alright.

Therefore, this battle seems poised to become a drawn-out, drawn-out affair.

Until the new eleventh-level deception clone re-formed and surrounded Xia Lin from all directions.

Xia Lin, however, was not afraid.

Based on his current form and the Spirit World Book in his hand, even if Deception is immune to the corruption of the Black Source Power, Xia Lin's raw strength is enough to rival multiple Level 11 Deception clones!
A base stat total of 264 points, along with trillions of attributes.

Multiplying the two together, where in normal level eleven would you find this attribute? A strong person with this attribute would be difficult to defeat or copy through deception.

Standing amidst his enemies, Xia Lin looked at the deceitful figure who was exactly like himself, and then spoke.

"But that doesn't explain why you, as an evil god, possess intelligence."

Muttering to himself, Xia Lin suddenly laughed.

"I've thought of this possibility."

……

Just as Xia Lin uttered those words, within his body, in the Eight Guardian World...

Scarlett suddenly turned to look at Summer.

"Five Plans!"

After ten years of preparation, Xia Lin and his team's plans naturally went beyond just aggressive tactics.

Xia Lin prepared many targeted plans for different situations!

Of course, no one can know everything, and therefore no one can predict how things will develop.

The advantage of having many plans lies in this—it strengthens one's ability to respond to changes.

Just as Scarlett uttered the words "Plan Five," Summer suddenly focused and closed his eyes tightly.

A surge of celestial power emanated from Scarlett's body. She slowly raised her hand, and the mirror in her hand shimmered.

The Kuntian Mirror appeared in Scarlett's hands.

Mysterious and colorful mirror light surged out from the Kun Tian Mirror, quickly landing on Xia Tian and merging into his body.

Thus, the severed connection with Di Yun's corpse was re-established!

At the same time, Xia Lin also made a move.

Within Yu Diyun's heart, Xia Lin suddenly opened his eyes.

He took a step forward and left Di Yun's heart.

In a flash of light, Xia Lin had already broken through Di Yun's body tissue and appeared in front of Di Yun's chest.

At the same time, Xia Tian took control of Di Yun's body and grabbed Xia Lin with one hand!

Bend your body, pull back your arm, and throw with force!
In his Black Source Overlord form, Xia Lin was like a cannonball, traversing space and instantly crashing into the nearby Deception Planet!

Fraudsters are caught off guard by this and have little chance of reacting!

Just as it finally realized that Xia Lin had used a splitting tactic and had reached its vital point, Di Yun's corpse once again drew its sword, stabbing at the deceptive clone that resembled Di Yun.

"Three minutes, no more."

A sound emanated from Di Yun's body and reached Xia Lin's ears.

It's the sound of summer.

Right now, Xia Lin's decision to leave Di Yun is tantamount to voluntarily dissolving the ergonomic relationship with Di Yun's corpse.

Summer's control over Di Yun's corpse naturally meant that the power it could unleash was not as strong as before.

The overall fighting strength was split in half, making it impossible for any single side to be a deceptive opponent.

Xia Lin responded.

"Three minutes is enough."

As the sound reached Xia Tian's ears, Xia Lin had already fallen from the sky like a shooting star, landing directly on the planet of deception.

Before the fraudulent planet, entirely composed of nanobots, could react further, Xia Lin had already plunged to the very bottom, appearing within its radiant core.

It's like penetrating a layer of water film.

When Xia Lin regained her footing, in addition to the mesmerizing light and shadow, she also saw a uniquely designed machine.

Like a 3D printer, it stands at the center of a mass of high-purity energy, rising and falling mysteriously, yet without a trace of aura.

A glint flashed in Xia Lin's eyes.

Activating observation in the form of the Black Source Dominator, a large amount of information suddenly rushed into Xia Lin's brain.

Soon, Xia Lin suddenly closed his eyes, and blood beads gradually slid down his cheeks.

The essence of this energy does indeed originate from the primordial dark side.

The power of the six pillars was too great to look at directly. Even in the form of the Black Source Overlord, observing these scattered pillars of power still injured Xia Lin's eyes and even his soul.

Of course, Xia Lin knew the extent of the damage; it wouldn't be significant.

At the cost of this minor injury, Xia Lin observed the most crucial information!
"This is the true nature of fraud!"

The 3D printer did not respond.

As an evil god, it would not actively interact with the outside world.

Even worse, deceiving evil gods is even worse than procreation.

It even lacks a passive response to external stimuli!
—As the most intelligent of the evil gods, his deceitful nature is that of a dead thing corrupted by the power of the primordial dark side!

It's not the most intelligent one, but rather the least intelligent one!
A sudden, overwhelming tremor surged forth.

In the shadows, the Black Sea outside was in turmoil, and even the entire Deception Planet was beginning to stir!
This time, Xia Lin truly touched upon the very essence of what was called fraud, but in reality, it was something he didn't know anything about.

It was frantic with worry!

However, Xia Lin did not give "fraud" any chance.

In the blink of an eye, an endless east wind appeared around Xia Lin.

The Dongfeng missiles are woven into a sword formation, which is Xia Lin's new skill: Dongfeng Ten Thousand Formations Nation!

The large and small formations are interlocked, locking down the space.

With the aid of the Spirit World Book, even the deception with its eleventh-level essence could not defeat the Kingdom of East Wind Ten Thousand Arrays in a short time!
Then, Xia Lin raised his hand.

Black snowflake-like spots shot out from Xia Lin's hand and transformed into the figure of the county magistrate's clone outside Xia Lin's body.

Without Xia Lin issuing any orders, the county magistrate, as if drawn by nature, willingly fell into that primordial dark power.

There were no obstacles encountered.

Because these things, which are essentially nanorobots, are frequent visitors to this place.

The county magistrate successfully touched the fraudulent entity resembling a 3D printer, and then successfully integrated into it.

At this moment, Xia Lin felt nervous.

Because he didn't know what the results of his actions would be, or even whether his guesses and judgments were right or wrong.

However, when the 3D printer hummed and uttered the words "First, never act impulsively," Xia Lin's tense heart instantly relaxed, and then he laughed wildly!

"Just as I thought! Just as I thought!!"

Meanwhile, the churning Black Sea and the trembling Deception Planet outside were far from calm; on the contrary, the commotion was even greater.

Amidst the tremors, countless voices coalesced into a single sentence.

What have you done?!

This time, it revealed a clear emotion!

Rage, mania, and despair!

Xia Lin replied with a smile, "I simply tore apart your disguise and seized your vital point."

"That's all!"

……

One of the six pillars, the original dark side.

The embodiment of disaster, or even the root of disaster!

As one of the six pillars, the original dark side has no intelligence because its essential power naturally rejects the birth of intelligence.

He is in the abyss of eternal darkness, always there, forever there, yet no one dares to deal with the root of this calamity.

Because He is strong, because He is with the universe.

The calamities caused by the evil gods that arise from Him become a huge problem that can only be addressed superficially, but can never be cured of the root cause.

—The primordial dark side will spread its power outwards uncontrollably.

These forces traverse space and even time, landing in random corners of the universe, where they combine with someone or something to create twisted, bizarre, yet powerful entities known as evil gods.

As long as the primordial dark side exists, evil gods will never cease to exist!
"But is there such a possibility?"

"Could we control that being called the Evil God, and thereby wield its power?"

Even without being a genius idea, the answer is obvious.

is allowed.

The profession known as the Primal Child, nicknamed the Controller of Evil Gods, is a representative profession of this kind of thinking.

"But this will lead to a problem: after switching to the Ember Walker of the Primal Dark Side, they will gradually succumb to the power of the Primal Dark Side. Influenced by the Primal Dark Side, their personality will become increasingly extreme, and their intelligence will become increasingly low. In the end, they will embark on a path of no return."

"Therefore, this method cannot meet our need to control the power of the evil god."

"Right now, I have this idea, and I also have this opportunity."

Dr. Tobias, hailed as a genius scientist by the planet Milos and possessing an IQ that appears only once in ten thousand years, said this.

Then, he looked at the sealed object to the side.

It was a captured, primordial dark force.
