A different world game? A different world game!

The image freezes on this moment when the world is on the verge of collapse.

Only seven nodes remain in the entire world, and players are engaged in a final, desperate struggle around these seven nodes.

Beyond the world, the invading waves of the void have reached their peak and are about to recede.

At this moment, although the attacks from the void have not weakened, as long as we can hold on, once the void has completely traversed this world, the remaining void creatures will depart.

However, with only seven nodes remaining, the hope of protecting the world seems increasingly slim.

Gazing at the frozen image, the shadow still stands atop the dark tower.

He is dissecting the secrets of Kana.

"Hmm, it wasn't through the river of time, but rather by intercepting the light of the river of time, transforming it into memories, and then going back against the current."

He muttered these words that only gods could understand.

After dissecting the secret, he turned to look at Kana.

"I thought you really had the talent of a prophet, but it turns out you used this kind of method."

Previously, he had been misled by Kana's title of "prophet".

The main reason he made this guess was because Cana's actions did indeed seem to demonstrate prophetic abilities.

He had been pondering just how capable Kana was, that he could predict his actions.

Now that the truth is out, it turns out that from the very beginning, he was misled by external information, which caused him to deviate from the correct line of thinking.

They went in the wrong direction from the very beginning.

"You're not a prophet at all; you're just extracting and understanding information from the past. The more you change things, the more the future will change beyond recognition."

"The reason you seem to possess prophetic talent is not because you can foresee the future, but because you have a thorough grasp of all kinds of information and intelligence."

"This is a false prediction presented by the interweaving of information and intelligence, but you did a pretty good job of it, even I was fooled by you."

The shadow commented on Cana in this way.

This is an illusion created by the information asymmetry between the enemy and ourselves.

They knew nothing about the information that Kana possessed.

However, Kana knew them inside and out, knowing what they could do, how they would act, and what backup plans they had prepared.

They thought Kana was unaware of these things, but Kana was actually aware of them and made targeted responses and preparations accordingly.

When their backup plans and schemes were completely anticipated and countered by Kana, they naturally assumed that Kana possessed prophetic abilities due to his reputation as a "prophet".

This is a perfectly normal way of thinking, and it's flawless.

Secrets may be leaked once or twice, but it's unlikely that only you know them all the time.

Therefore, it can only be explained by prophecy, especially since the ability to prophesy already exists in this world.

However, in essence, when a person has a broad enough understanding of intelligence and information, the effect they exhibit is not much different from a prediction.

Moreover, once he leaves this world, the shadow will find that Kana's precognitive abilities have vanished without a trace.

Because all of Kana's intelligence information comes from this world.

"Although it's different from what I expected, I'm quite satisfied with this secret. Savior of the world, perhaps you truly have the ability to preserve a glimmer of hope for this world amidst the destructive waves of the void."

Hehe, I look forward to witnessing such a scene in the future. I'll come again then. Stay tuned, hahaha.

Because by then, the information that Kana knows will be useless.

After all, that was beyond the scope of the intelligence that Kana possessed.

The illusion around him gradually dissipated, and the little fairy's voice echoed in Kana's mind.

He gently comforted the little fairy, and then his will began to rise.

In the real world.

On the execution platform, Kana, shrouded in shadow, slowly opened his eyes.

"Don't look so gloomy. Haven't I returned your leader, the savior of your world, to you intact? Hahaha."

The shadows laughed heartily.

At this moment, Kana tore off the shadows that were wrapped around his body and began to repair his injuries.

What's with all those expressions?

The shadow looked at the people surrounding it with a puzzled expression.

Some people looked worried, some looked fearful, and the morale of the soldiers below was low.

These reactions are perfectly normal.

They worried whether Kana had been corrupted by the will of the evil god and fallen, whether Kana's life had been tainted by the evil god, and even more so, whether the world's savior would perish.

Even though Kana had already opened his eyes at this moment.

However, a few individuals stand out.

The person who was just moments ago furious and wanted to tear the shadow to pieces is now calm.

For example, Alysse.

Leilia and Apis stood beside her, having just moments before tried to dissuade Areris from acting impulsively. Before Kana opened his eyes, Areris nearly went mad, recklessly unleashing attacks on the barrier of shadow.

Even knowing that doing so seems pointless.

But at this moment, Alyris stared blankly at the shadows.

Leilia and Apis, who had just been trying to stop her, were momentarily at a loss.

Perhaps it's because Kana has awakened.

Judging from Aliris's appearance, Kana probably didn't suffer any major trauma?
As the shadow, he keenly sensed something amiss.

He turned his head and looked at Kana, who was breaking free from the shadows.

"I sensed danger before taking action, but I did it anyway. I thought it was punishment for spying on your secrets."

The shadow muttered to itself.

In his view, Kana might be hiding a major secret, and this secret is certainly not Kana's own; it is more likely a scheme orchestrated by other high-level beings on Kana.

His attempt to uncover secrets will undoubtedly anger the other party.

Therefore, it is reasonable to sense danger.

For evil gods, the essence they pursue can drive them to do anything.

For the shadow, preventing him from uncovering secrets is tantamount to depriving him of the meaning of his existence.

It's like asking the Blood God to give up his passion for fighting and slaughter—that's simply impossible.

Because fighting and slaughter are the very essence of the Blood God.

The essence of shadow is the exploration and revelation of secrets.

This is like the instinct for survival.

But now that he has emerged from Kana's consciousness, he has not suffered any punishment.

So the moment he came out, he was extremely alert to any slight change.

He sensed something was wrong.

Does danger only arise after the secret is uncovered?

Kana dusted himself off and said, "Yes, just like you said in my mind, I know what you've been doing in this world, and I know your backup plan."

"So I deliberately set this as bait, bait that you would definitely bite. See, didn't I successfully lure you in?"

The silver tree burst forth from the silver floor, binding the shadow tightly so that it could not escape.

The shadow did not struggle.

Because struggling is pointless.

The power of the entire world was suppressing him.

Furthermore, the body he was placed in had been tampered with, and at this moment, those hidden, subtle mechanisms were triggered.

His will was trapped within this body.

If given some time to carefully examine his body, he might discover the problem.

However, the state that Kana had shown earlier was fleeting, and he seized that fleeting opportunity without hesitation to take action.

In such a race against time, he had no time to check his own body.

He didn't even have time to contact the evil god who created his body; if he had, he would have found that he could no longer reach him.

The urgency of time and the fleeting opportunity ultimately wove a large net that trapped him.

Beyond the world.

The Blood God appeared and kicked the shadow hard.

He started kicking people when they were down.

He was happy with it.

The distant Explorer observation platform emitted a shockwave of energy.

The energy struck the shadow's body.

This attack surprised the Blood God, who couldn't help but turn around and glance back.

But that doesn't matter.

The combined power of Blood God and Explorer kicked the shadow's body into the world.

At this very moment, the world has withdrawn its protective barriers.

The world's protective forces have vanished at this moment, and can no longer provide protection for the world.

The power of the shadows was guided and shrank entirely into the descending body.

"We really were outmaneuvered."

The shadow murmured helplessly. (End of Chapter)
