You are all my wings!

Suddenly, I saw many lies I had told in the past, like countless words flowing past my eyes.

Countless things, from small to large, big and small.

He even told Iris a lie about having a hundred gold coins.

Suddenly, Leon found the lie that was most widely accepted by him, most accepted by the strong, and most accepted by the high-influence characters.

As a miracle astrologer, I understand the causal chain of the future, have received enlightenment from the world, and can accurately predict the future.

followed by:

You are my one and only

Next is:

Everything I did was for you.

Oh dear, so all of this was a lie. No wonder I was able to become the founder of the fraudster profession in this world, and advance so quickly.

After all, there must have been people who were able to deceive high-ranking powerful figures in the past.

But someone like myself, who has deceived so many people of destiny, women of the world, and super female villains, and so frequently, is quite rare.

Leon believes that although the world judges it as a lie, it is actually true.

Perhaps the reason why he has been able to successfully gain enlightenment and advancement so many times is because his falsehood contains so much truth.

Lyon began to extract the 'truth within the false'.

Chapter 403 Astalia's Resurrection! Prices Soar!

With a soft buzzing sound in his mind, Leon immediately sensed a strange energy suddenly generated deep within his soul.

It resembles sacred energy, yet seems to possess a more profound and transcendent aura.

Is this the truth hidden within the falsehood?

It was about the size of a fist, suspended above the mind.

All the truth hidden within the lies he has ever told in the past is contained here.

I don't know how effective these quantities are at present.

He tried to inject one percent of the 'truth within falsehood' into the skin of his palm to solidify the deceptive effect of his previous statement, 'You are a sixth-tier Shadow Demon Spider skin.'

A moment later, he withdrew his mental energy from maintaining the deceptive effect.

He bent his fingers, and the firm yet sensitive touch was still there. Not bad, it was clear that the solidification effect of the 'fake within the real' had been successful.

I wonder how long a one percent dose can last.

Because the panel didn't provide detailed information on this aspect, he could only wait for the effects on his palm skin to wear off before determining the exact duration of the effect.

However, it is encouraging that at least one percent of the amount can completely cover the palm, completing one solidification process, which is of great significance for combat.

In other words, if I deceive a few more high-ranking figures and women of destiny, I will have the opportunity to forge a true divine set of equipment for myself.

He glanced at Britta's magic circle setup again and found that she was still filling in mysterious characters.

She has only completed two-thirds of the extremely complex magic array, which consists of twelve hexagrams. Even with her sixth-tier body, it will take her a long time to complete, which shows how enormous the workload is.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed in Lyon's self-testing and exploration.

The hardening effect on the palm also faded away immediately.

'Can roughly one percent of that amount sustain a level six deception-based solidification for half an hour?'

"Its effects are far superior to maintaining my mental strength. Even if I used up all my mental strength, I could only maintain my powerful Tier 6 skin for seven or eight minutes. Indeed, specialization is key. Just as an internal combustion engine is powered by gasoline, and an electric motor by electricity, while mental strength is versatile, it's not as effective as this 'true within false' technique against illusory objects."

'So, if all resources are invested, will the efficiency increase linearly, marginally, or exponentially?'

If possible, exponential growth is of course the best. The more you invest, the longer the growth will last, which is equivalent to a qualitative leap.

So let's see if the more we invest in this, the more significant the change in effect will be.

Just as Lyon was about to test it again, he suddenly thought:

"No, it would be a waste to just test this 'truth within falsehood'. I've used up all my past lies to extract this much 'truth within falsehood'. I need to use the best resources where they matter most."

With that in mind, he changed the direction of his test.

This time, he meditated for a while, accelerating the recovery of all his mental energy in the deep sharing mode.

Then, he took out the powerful seventh-tier white unicorn horn that he had previously obtained from Bai Shaqilai.

After observing him carefully for a moment, he began to deceive.

'You are a powerful seventh-tier treasure! You are a powerful seventh-tier treasure that makes it easier for people to comprehend ice-based slowing magic!'

This can be considered the main material of a powerful seventh-tier secret treasure, and the overall consumption required to defraud it is much simpler than the previous deception out of thin air.

In addition, the white unicorn's ice horn is rich in ice magic imagery, making it easy for people to understand the corresponding ice magic imagery.

On the contrary, deceiving one's own body is quite costly and not worthwhile at present.

Therefore, currently, upgrading the quality of fraudulent materials by one level would actually be the lowest-cost and most profitable approach.

Soon, as Lyon's mental energy was depleted, the ice horn began to change. The uneven surface quickly became smooth and looked like it was glowing with a faint light.

However, since it was a deception disguised as a treasure, my mental energy was depleted by 35 points in an instant, and it was still being consumed at a rate of 2 points per second.

So he quickly immersed himself in the 'truth within falsehood'.

By investing just one percent, the mental energy consumption is halved.

If you invest another 1%, your mental strength will be halved again.

'Wait, so that means the effect is exponentially enhanced? The more you invest, the more pronounced the solidification effect?'

Lyon immediately understood and was overjoyed.

With a total investment of four percent, no more mental energy was needed, and the treasure lay steadily in the palm of his hand.

Because of his deception, this treasure will have the effect of making it easier for people to comprehend ice magic, and its quality is slightly better than the original, basically reaching the seventh-tier limit. It should be excellent for enhancing one's ice magic.

With this thing, combined with his enormous magical power, and by perfecting the Great Cold Wave magic, he would have the means to contend with legendary figures to a certain extent, truly possessing an advantage in attack power and being able to break through opponents' defenses.

Instead of just using rhetoric to fool Tegwansh as before, and then using various methods to break his magic.

As for the seventh-tier shadow-type secret treasure in his hand, which was given to him by Herwiz, although it could also increase his combat power, the increase was not as great as that of the ice-type unicorn.

The main reason is that although his combat skills are quite good, he still has no hope of mastering them to the perfect level, which is completely different from his other advanced spells.

Keep investing!

Since it's an exponential improvement, he plans to completely solidify the treasure and refine it into a true treasure.

In this way, when you advance, both professions can use items of the seventh tier limit (a seventh tier powerful treasure is better than a seventh tier powerful material) to advance.

However, just in case, he still used a miracle divination technique to confirm the feasibility of this operation, so as not to let this 'fake within a fake' go to waste.

'Hmm, maybe another 30% investment will make it permanent?'

After confirming its feasibility, he began to invest heavily in the "fake within the real".

The radiance of the secret treasure in his hand grew stronger and stronger.

Ophimaso, standing to the side, was even more astonished, wondering how Leon had managed to not only obtain these powerful seventh-tier monster materials but also turn them into a secret treasure in the blink of an eye.

After approximately 31% of the total amount was invested, the treasure could no longer absorb the 'true within the false'.

'Did it work?'

Lyon carefully rubbed the smooth ice horn in his hand, which had shrunk slightly, infusing it with magic and slowly savoring it.

Buzz!

A faint chill permeated the entire cave.

As Lyon experienced the smooth ice corner through the Divine Mode, a flood of insights began to emerge in his mind.

With the combined support of the other four modes, he quickly digested these insights in his mind, filling in and perfecting them.

The previously incomplete imagery of the Ice Reduction Magic was quickly completed, and my understanding of this imagery suddenly improved significantly.

Originally, my intuitive feeling about these images was just quantum tides, a special quantum state.

At this moment, he vaguely understood the underlying principle and how to use magic to express the effect of slowing down.

Previously, he could only slow down ice and fire magic, and only basic magic.

Now, the scope of this slowdown has suddenly expanded.

In just one hour, he completed his understanding and imagery replication of all the basic and intermediate level energy-based slowing spells!

This high efficiency is inseparable from the use of secret treasures and the sacred mode.

The combined effect of these two items is equivalent to his previous mental model being stacked with the other four models.

It's not that the other four modes are inferior, but rather that the combined effect is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1>3), providing a special boost to ice magic.

However, as the hour passed, the several modes he had activated on his own also came to an end. He had to temporarily detach himself from the cultivation state. Now, he only had ten hours left in the Divine Mode, while the Purification and Sharing Modes still had a considerable amount of time remaining.

Although he suddenly lost the feeling of rapid improvement, he was not discouraged, because he could have this state again tomorrow. As long as he continued, he believed that he would soon be able to train his ice magic to the level of superior, king, or even higher-level magic.

This magic becomes stronger as you progress. Only when you can master the ability to freeze time will you be able to truly master this magic crown.

After putting away the Ice Horn Treasure, Leon stood up and observed for a moment. He found that Britta's magic circle was finally set up, with the three treasures placed in their respective corners.

Among them, the Dragon Slayer Sword, stuck in the center of the ground, gleamed with a brilliant light as Britta chanted.

Everywhere, there were magic crystals of level five or higher, so numerous that they were worth at least a million gold coins.

As expected of the wealthy woman from the Papacy, she carried such a large amount of wealth with her at all times for this day of resurrection.

Seeing that the time was right, Leon used a large amount of his Shadowless ability to create a wide wall of shadow, blocking all the entrances and exits of the cave to prevent the upcoming resurrection ritual from being too noisy and being discovered by the outside world.

With his current magical power, this shadow wall can last for a long time, so there's no fear of problems arising along the way.

Ophimasso remained silent, focusing intently on the magic circle.

At this moment, Britta's chant was clearly nearing its end.

"Blessed by the Song of Fortune, the supreme god of human civilization, the just and great goddess Astalia, the revival ritual is complete, the sacrificial materials are gathered, and the magic crystals are prepared. Under the ritual, life and death are reversed. With your authority as the beacon, return from the doomsday land buried by the battle banner! Revive!"

boom!!!!!

Boundless divine light burst forth, and Britta's dignified and exquisite face instantly resembled that of a glorious god.

The complex magic circle, which consisted of twelve layers of six-pointed stars, shone brightly, instantly illuminating the entire dark cave as if it were daytime.

The scales of life in the corner suddenly transformed into a blinding holy light, merging into the magic circle.

Following that, the sacred spring in the other corner continuously released emerald light, which transformed into a line and shot into the Dragon Slayer Sword in the center.

In a moment, the Dragon Slayer Sword continued to expand, slowly transforming into a phantom, slender, and graceful dragon body, with an elegant and dignified appearance.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The magic crystals on the ground shattered and turned into powder.

A massive amount of magic power surged into the illusory dragon's body.

Gradually, the Dragon Slayer Sword became ethereal, while the dragon's body slowly solidified.

The dragon has a red back and white belly, with fine and neat scales that are as bright as pieces of ruby.

Atop its head are a pair of sharp, intertwined red and white horns. Its body is three meters long and coils around the Dragon Slayer Sword. It slowly opens a pair of pale golden vertical pupils, within which are imprints of thorny flowers that gradually turn golden.

Despite being a dragon, it has no ferocity whatsoever; its face is gentle and serene, and its presence seems to dispel countless anxieties and irritabilities, making it truly miraculous.

At this moment, the resurrection ritual was clearly not over yet.

The magic crystals continued to explode, gathering magical power. Judging from this, the goddess Astalia would have to wait quite a while longer to fully recover her body.

Ophimosa observed, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "No wonder they used the Dragon Slayer Sword. It turns out that our only god is actually a dragon, and a rare dragon that is born with spatial and fire abilities, the Sky Flame Red Dragon."

Lyon said, "That's normal. According to the current records of mythology, the origin of human bloodline is mostly a hybrid of the Apostles of Heaven and ancient dragons. It's just that after so many generations of evolution, it has gradually moved towards prioritizing the improvement of intelligence. This god, as the guide of our civilization, is not a problem in terms of origin."

"There's such a saying?"

Ophimaso was intrigued. This kind of knowledge wasn't even recorded in detail in the royal family. After all, the Kingdom of Horsha was only a kingdom with a history of over four thousand years, and unlike Lyon's previous life, it didn't have a dedicated system of civil officials to record history.

"Pretty much. Most of the races that exist on the continent originated from the same source millions of years ago, with only slight differences in their paternal and maternal lineages."
