I'm not just human!

Chapter 483 An Unsolvable Dead End? The Greatest Crisis in History!

"As expected, the Promised Land has been reset—"

Gazing at the slightly ajar steel gate of the villa, Xia Fa murmured to himself, lost in thought.

It now appears that from the moment the three of them entered the courtyard, broke into the villa, encountered the "brief reality," and then, at most, within a few minutes, this promised land would reset.

The key impact is that the door to the small kitchen is smashed open by those humanoid monsters, plunging [Temporary Reality] into a deadly situation.

Whether preventing the small kitchen door from being forced open can delay the time it takes for [Brief Reality] to fall into a deadly situation, thus prolonging it as much as possible and finding a solution remains to be seen.

Moreover, even if the [Brief Reality] were to fall into a deadly situation later, the problem of these five hundred-plus humanoid monsters would still remain unresolved.

"What should I do?!"

[Temporary Reality] We can't leave them unattended, especially since there's a suspected clue about some kind of primordial-level eternal certificate—Xia Fa frowned and began to deduce one solution after another.

But just then, a sudden, sharp pain shot through my mind, and a memory that wasn't mine at all surfaced from the depths of my heart.

It was an extremely strange feeling. The memory was unfamiliar, but it didn't intrude from the outside through spiritual intuition. Instead, it rose from the depths of my heart, as if it had always existed but had been forgotten.

It was an exceptionally clear memory. In the memory, I had become the young master of a noble family, wearing a blue-purple velvet suit, and was walking into this villa.

Not only that, but from this memory, one can even recall the excitement of taking the magic potion, the vague expectation of awakening a mutation, and the trepidation of fearing that expectations will be dashed.

Even deeper in her memories, there were her father, a mutant and a nobleman, scolding her for failing to awaken her mutation after consuming the mutant crystal source, which made her a laughing stock and a disgrace to the family.

In that instant, Xia Fa felt his mind go blank for a moment, as if he had really become that young nobleman, standing in front of the villa not to rescue [Brief Reality], but to wait to take the magic potion.

The impact of this memory was unusually intense, even immediately causing him to lose his self-awareness. Xia Fa took a deep breath, which gradually eased the confusion in his mind and suppressed that memory.

He seemed to sense something, and turned his head to see that his second brother [Paradox Clown] and the Moon Goddess were also in a daze, and it took a while for their eyes to clear.

"Were you also affected by these unfamiliar memories?"

Xia Fa asked the question with great caution, already realizing that something was wrong with this Promised Land.

[Paradox Joker] nodded: "Yes, I just thought I had become a bounty hunter, just to take the potion and find a chance to become a mutant, so as to improve my status and position in the Bounty Hunter Alliance, and to find my enemies to take revenge."

The Moon Goddess, still shaken, said, "My memories are related to a girl who wanted to stay young forever. She wanted to awaken and become a wood-type mutant, which would greatly increase her lifespan and slow down the aging process. I could even feel her urgency and longing."

Both were righteous gods, and under the tempering of their immense faith, their souls and spirits had become so hardened that they were indestructible. Logically speaking, they should have been able to easily erase such unfamiliar memories.

However, instead of being able to eliminate the problem, the two were severely affected and even experienced confusion about their identities—which made Xia Fa's heart sink.

[Paradox Joker] was carefully sensing something when his voice suddenly trembled: "No, when this Promised Land resets, our situation, where we've been restored to ordinary people by the rules of time, will also reset. In that case, I'll need more than an hour to offset the effects of the rules of time with my divine status—"

The Moon Goddess also sensed this and said, "Me too. I was supposed to recover my full godhood in a dozen minutes, but now it's been more than twenty minutes."

""

At this moment, the two well-informed gods felt a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts. With their extremely rich experience in adventure, they had realized the terrifying nature of this Promised Land.

If someone accidentally stumbles in, not only will they be reduced to an ordinary person, but with the Promised Land constantly being reset, even those who are true gods will never live to see the day when their divine status can negate the effects of the time rules!

That alone is terrifying enough, but what's worse, every reset of the Promised Land brings with it the impact of these unfamiliar memories!

Undoubtedly, the influence of these unfamiliar memories will only grow stronger over time, until they completely brainwash everyone and turn them into the people corresponding to those unfamiliar memories.

"No wonder, no wonder [Temporary Reality] turned out like this —"

Xia Fa, of course, also understood the dangers of this Promised Land, and his brows furrowed, his expression becoming even more solemn.

The Paradox Joker said in a deep voice, "If this continues, after five or six more resets at most, we will be like the Transient Reality, trapped in a completely erroneous cognition, thinking of ourselves as people from unfamiliar memories—and coupled with the influence of the time rules, we may never be able to get out."

It has to be said, this is an extremely terrifying thing. Being trapped in this promised land is bad enough, but the real problem is never knowing you're trapped and just endlessly falling into a repetitive cycle—

Unfortunately, everyone involved is a deity, especially the Paradox Clown and the Moon Goddess, who are immortal gods with endless lifespans, which means eternal damnation.

"The Promised Land—it's rarely easy, as expected. What should we do?"

The Moon Goddess spoke at this moment, seemingly addressing the two of them, but her gaze was actually fixed on Xia Fa.

Xia Fa pondered, "Anyway, we still have at least five chances. Let's try breaking in again and see if blocking the door for [Brief Reality] this time can extend the reset time. As long as we can stall for more than twenty minutes—"

His meaning was clear: if they could stall for twenty minutes before the reset, the Moon Mother Goddess would regain her divine power. At that point, she could easily wipe out these humanoid monsters that could infinitely heal and split. That would be simple.

"This is the only way for now." The Paradox Joker's gaze was firm as he clenched his fist.

The three dared not delay any longer, since the time it took for those humanoid monsters to crash into the small kitchen where the [Brief Reality] was located was fixed. Every second of delay meant that they might waste one of the five remaining reset opportunities.

With a bang, Paradox Joker kicked open the steel gate of the villa's yard. The three of them headed straight for the pond filled with mud, each pulling out a shovel covered in silt, and went straight for the villa's red-lacquered gate.

This time, there was no need to wait for the humanoid monster to come out. As soon as the red-lacquered door was pushed open, hundreds of humanoid monsters were seen swaying inside. Xia Fa and [Paradox Clown] immediately swung their shovels to clear a path and quickly took down more than a dozen of them.

The Moon Goddess headed straight for the small kitchen and began knocking urgently on the door.

"Da Vinci Monet, are you still alive? We are guests invited by the wealthy Rietek. Please let us in."

It must be said that the middle-aged painter, who is the embodiment of "brief reality," is quite kind. As soon as he heard the voice of a living person, he immediately opened the door without hesitation.

"Walk!"

Xia Fa and [Paradox Joker] were just smashing two humanoid monsters away from the left and right. Seeing this, [Paradox Joker] shouted and the two of them rushed in together.

boom!

The small kitchen door closed, keeping the humanoid monsters outside. The three of them looked towards the [brief reality].

[Brief Reality] He reverted to his pale, terrified state, staring at them and muttering repeatedly, "Thank goodness! I didn't expect the three guests to be alive. We're saved! We're saved!"

Having figured out the general situation of this Promised Land, this time, Xia Fa and the other two didn't bother with pleasantries with [Brief Reality]. They simply moved the table in the middle of the small kitchen in unison, preparing to block the door of the small kitchen.

"What are you doing? Oh! Right! I can do that too, why didn't I think of that before!"

[Brief Reality] Upon seeing this, he was initially puzzled, but then suddenly realized what was happening and slapped his forehead. He then hurriedly and eagerly came over to help move the load.

Soon, the table blocked the doorway. Since the kitchen counter and stove were built of wood, they couldn't be moved. Xia Fa and [Paradox Clown] simply leaned their backs against the table, ready to use their strength to hold the door open at any time.

"Three guests, were you hiding in your guest rooms before? Thank goodness you're still alive. These monsters will come and bang on the door soon, then they'll be quiet for a while. We'll figure out how to get out then, what do you think?"

[Brief Reality] also held the table and began to get close to the three of them, discussing the possibility of escaping.

Perhaps it was because he saw that Xia Fa and the Paradox Clown were both so tall and strong that he felt hopeful about escaping, which is why he was so unusually attentive.

"Look at this, [Temporary Reality] is such a jerk. In the first two millennia of our extraordinary era, he was practically my big brother [Absolute Defense]'s little brother, always running errands for him. I just can't stand him like this."

[Paradox Joker] no longer held back, knowing that [Temporary Reality] was currently in a state of complete cognitive disorder, and that this time there was a possibility of a reset, so he spoke directly and started teasing.

Xia Fa chuckled, finally understanding why, after the clone of [Brief Reality] openly defected to the enemy, none of the other eight of the nine righteous gods doubted that it was a fake.

Judging from his character, he certainly seems like the kind of person who would defect to the enemy.

However, Xia Fa also knew that after the nine true gods truly encountered danger, [Brief Reality] not only did not defect to the enemy, but instead risked going deep into the gray fog of time in order to find the original level of eternal proof and go back to fight the false gods head-on.

That's why he's been trapped in this place for over ten thousand years, neither human nor ghost, going through countless cycles every day.

boom!

Suddenly, a loud bang came from outside the door, like a shoulder hitting the door panel. Xia Fa and the Paradox Clown immediately became serious and braced themselves against the table.

boom! boom! boom!

The sounds of impact grew more frequent and heavier. [Brief Reality] had already joined the two of them in bracing against the table. At this moment, even the Moon Goddess came over to help, desperately bracing against the outside of the table.

Bang bang bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang bang!

The impacts grew increasingly violent, giving the impression that hundreds of humanoid monsters were ramming against the door.

No, it wasn't just the door that was being rammed; the walls of the small kitchen were also being rammed along with it!

"not good----"

[Paradox Joker] Suddenly realizing something, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

boom!

The next moment, the walls of the small kitchen collapsed, bricks and stones shattered and rolled over, knocking the people to the ground.

The surging humanoid monsters, like zombies, immediately surrounded the group. [Brief Reality] was the first to be hit, screaming as the monsters tore at him. Unable to stop them, he managed to stretch out a hand from the crowd, his arm covered in blood.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze once again.

Everything seemed to freeze, only the [Brief Reality] could move. A powerful, divine aura emanated from his sleeve once more, but his expression was utterly dazed, and his figure swayed unsteadily: "Origin-level Eternal Certificate—Origin-level Eternal Certificate—I need to go back and save my elder brother—save my elder brother—"

Seeing this scene, the Paradox Joker, who was clearly unable to move, suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

Although Absolute Defense is His elder brother, He rarely calls Him that, usually addressing Him by His full name.

On the contrary, [Brief Reality], having obtained [Eternal Reality] from [Rhine Calamity] through [Absolute Defense] and thus becoming a true god, has affectionately called [Absolute Defense] "Big Brother" ever since.

This is also why Paradox Joker is somewhat displeased, always feeling that Brief Reality wants to take the place of his younger brother.

However, the Paradox Joker never expected that the real reason why the Brief Reality risked venturing into the Time Fog and was trapped there for over ten thousand years was to obtain the Primal Eternity Certificate so he could go back and save the Absolute Defense and help it fight against the False Gods and the Golden Cleaners!

"This guy—"

The Paradox Joker sighed inwardly, realizing that for over 30,000 years, he had been wrong about Him all along.

Or perhaps, they simply didn't have the chance to see the true side of Sora.

Everything in the small kitchen became blurred, from the collapsed walls to the scattered dust and smoke.

Suddenly, the world changed, and the three of them reappeared in front of the gate outside the villa's courtyard.

Xia Fa was about to say something when he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. His mind involuntarily drifted to thoughts of becoming a mutant and proving himself to his father.

That unfamiliar memory resurfaced from the depths of his heart once again. This time, it even began to affect his mind, causing him, who was already a mutant, to inexplicably develop a desire to become a mutant as well.

Xia Fa turned his head and saw that the Paradox Joker was kneeling on the ground, holding his head in his hands, trembling violently in pain.

If he hadn't been affected by the rules of time and briefly reverted to an ordinary person, the out-of-control effects he caused in this situation alone would have been enough to turn most of the star field into a clown mask!

The Moon Goddess was also pale, leaning against a tree, her slender hand pressed against her temple, her eyes slightly closed, clearly trying her best to restrain something.

After a while, the Paradox Clown recovered first, barely managing to stand up with a cold sweat on his face. Soon after, the Moon Goddess also regained consciousness.

The Paradox Joker, panting heavily, said with a grave look in his eyes, "We guessed right. Five times, at most five times, and we too will fall into a complete state of self-delusion, just like the Brief Reality. It's no longer a question of whether or not to save the Brief Reality. Saving Him is the same as saving ourselves!"
