"Even so, in my current state, I am still within your soul. With such a double obstacle, it would be difficult to trigger the ascension ritual, right? Besides, God Astalia is not here now, and without ascending the divine ladder, there is no way to break through this barrier."

Faced with two evils, Orpheus could only choose the strategy of delay, which seemed to minimize the damage.

Fortunately, since both of them were in a virtual state, their communication was very fast. What seemed like a long conversation actually involved a large amount of information exchanged in the blink of an eye.

“Ophie, time is limited. What I need now is for you to trust me enough and try to trigger the divine enlightenment right now. As for the risks and safety issues that I bear, you can’t change them no matter how much you worry. Besides, I know my situation, so you don’t need to worry unnecessarily.”

After exchanging a few words, Lyon realized that Ophimasso was still worried about the risk of failure, so he could only say this.

Ophimosa paused, then smiled helplessly: "Alright, darling, since you put it that way, I'll play along whether it works or not. But we have to make it clear, if I fail, don't do anything foolish. Compared to the cruel ending of your soul exploding from the tribulation of becoming a god, I'd rather you just be injured by the information flow, so you'll have a chance to recover later, right?"

"Okay, I promise you."

Leon nodded: "Let's trigger it as soon as possible. Although our communication speed is fast, the longer it takes, the less confident I will be. Now, pay attention to the changes in your body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ophimasso felt a strange power being transmitted by Leon, flowing back and forth in his information stream.

She could hardly describe the feeling, but after this power arrived, she felt the thin veil separating her from godhood immediately shatter.

Originally, she was inside Lyon's soul and should have been unable to feel the enlightenment of becoming a god, but she now had a tangible perception of it. A strange blessing force was born from the void, penetrating all boundaries and slowly welcoming the information flow from the incarnation of Ophimasso.

Immediately afterwards, a massive aura surged forth, and a vast amount of information originating from the boundless sea converged upon her.

Immediately, the illusory image of Orpheus in the form of an information flow slowly solidified.

In an instant, dark clouds filled Lyon's soul, which was as dark as an empty void, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

At the same time, Hamra and Camille also noticed the strange signs around Leon's body. A series of even more powerful phenomena distorted spacetime, forming large areas in the air above where Leon was, which also attracted the attention of the powerful figures who had not yet left the perimeter.

Chapter 571 The Soul of Orpheus

Ophimosa was surprised; triggering the divine enlightenment was much easier than he had anticipated.

It seems this is what Leon meant when he said that because he had transformed into a flow of information, it was easier for him to regain his position.

However, precisely because it is easier for him to regain his status, Leon will be in greater danger when the tribulation of becoming a god descends.

With these concerns in mind, Ophimasso diverted some of her attention to the movements of Leon's soul while focusing on receiving the message of enlightenment for her advancement.

Soon, as she digested a large amount of knowledge, she discovered that a vast amount of memories hidden deep in her soul were surging forth.

In an instant, Ophimasso felt as if he were a small boat adrift on a vast ocean, his memories of himself swallowed up by the memories that spanned several eras, becoming barely visible.

This feeling is very strange.

It's like someone suddenly living through tens or hundreds of millions of lifetimes for an ordinary person. When they reach the end of time, perhaps all those heart-stirring moments that were once etched in their hearts will become insignificant.

The agonizing feeling of impending loss of all the wonderful moments she had spent with Leon shattered her, and her heart inevitably clenched.

My worst fears have come true.

Ophimosa's beautiful face twisted slightly.

Because she has experience with two personalities controlling their own state, she knows even better how terrible it can be when things get out of control.

Her father, Emperor Tuerlongye, initially explained to her that her second personality was a consequence of forcibly sealing her rapidly growing power in the past.

But now it seems that this second personality may be a personality imprint left over from her previous life as the lord of the forbidden zone.

Perhaps she was herself in her past life and now, but she started this life almost from a blank slate. If the personality formed in her past life conflicts with her present life, how should she deal with it?

She held tightly to the deepest memories in her heart, trying to avoid being overwhelmed by the overwhelming waves of memories from her past life.

Of all these memories, those with Leon were undoubtedly the most memorable, so she tried desperately to recall them and prevent herself from forgetting them.

Time passed quickly as she guarded against the impact of her past life memories while receiving enlightenment from her advancement.

Will Lyon notice the change in me?

……

30 minute later.

The tribulation to godhood, though not in the form of thunder and lightning, struck the area around Ophimosa's information stream, but was neutralized by the surrounding infinite sea of ​​information streams manipulated by Leon.

As for why he was able to manipulate these infinite seas of information, the method was actually quite simple: conceptual fraud.

What he did was deceive his own consciousness into believing it was 'part of the Infinite Lord'.

This may seem very difficult and costly, but in reality, since what he has now is just a product of the main consciousness being divided, the total amount is not large, so the consumption will be reduced.

Furthermore, since his soul connection with Ophimosa was already very deep, when he activated the Deep Miracle Mode, he could be even more convincing in his own eyes.

Therefore, his use of such deceptive tactics actually did not consume much of his resources.

That's why he was much more at ease when he learned that Ophimasso was the Lord of Infinity, because he had more room to maneuver.

Even so, the problem has not yet been solved.

Because his consciousness is not strong enough, the amount of information flow from the Infinite Sea that he can manipulate is limited. Therefore, he can only use a portion of it temporarily. As Ophimosa continues to recover his memories and status, his own pressure will increase. At that time, simply being able to manipulate this portion of the information flow will still not be enough to solve the problem.

Therefore, he has another method, which is to use the deep sharing mode and the deep sacred mode to select a batch of high-quality infinite sea information flow, and then absorb it into his own consciousness to enhance his spiritual power and form an effective positive cycle.

This will give you greater endurance.

Of course, Lyon's current split consciousness still doesn't have the ability to change the overall situation. He still has to wait for Ophimasso to recover his position and gather the chaotic Infinite Sea together to prevent it from bursting open completely after a period of time.

It's worth mentioning that during this time, he could also see that the mental strength attribute on the panel was continuously increasing, almost by 1 point per minute, which was quite remarkable.

This also shows just how terrifying the Infinite Goddess's peak strength is. She can gain so much power just by casually consuming a little bit of information. All of this information flow from the Infinite Sea can be considered her assets.

However, as the clock struck 39 minutes, Lyon gradually began to realize the problem.

'Ophie's complexion, and the glimpses of information she was conveying, suggested she was going through some kind of arduous ordeal.'

Lyon's expression darkened slightly, and he immediately activated the Time-Space Miracle Divination Technique.

A moment later, he learned the answer.

'So, what's trapping Orpheus is still that second personality?'

With that in mind, he opened the panel and checked the quest logs related to Ophimaso.

[Ophimosa's hidden main quest "The Two-Faced Princess" is currently 78% complete]

[Ophimosa's hidden personal quest "Heroic Bloodline" is currently 90% complete]

[Ophimosa's personal mission "The Crown" is currently 90% complete]

[Ophimosa's personal quest "The Holy Cause of Reign" is currently 23% complete]

Apart from the two missions, "Heroic Bloodline" and "Royal Crown," which saw a 90% increase in progress compared to before the reversal, the other two missions have stalled considerably, indicating that the initial estimates did not fundamentally solve the problem of Orpheus.

It's understandable, though. Originally, Leon was going to take Orpheus to the Holy Land to find the special divine species, the Holy Soul Heavenly Cloud, as material for Orpheus's advancement. However, due to the reverse flow, Leon missed Orpheus's advancement over the years, so even though she has been advancing one after another, the problem of her second personality is still not resolved.

'This was a miscalculation. I didn't expect Orpheus's restoration of his status and the resulting impact on his second personality to be so enormous.'

'It seems the only way is to enter the depths of Orpheus's soul and help her preserve this part of her memory. As long as her personality remains stable, she should be able to break free of her cocoon and transform!'

Lyon divined for a while longer, then decisively cut off another part of his thought, strengthened it with conceptual essence, and sent this part of his thought into the depths of Orpheus's soul.

In other words, it has now become a situation of dual soul infiltration.

……

A moment later, Lyon's thought successfully entered the depths of Orpheus's soul.

Then, he was shocked.

It was a boundless ocean of super information flow, and within this ocean, this thought was less than a paramecium, terrifyingly insignificant.

Even the slightest ripple in the information could overturn him.

'I see, I see!'

'No wonder Tayamishi said that because my soul was so compatible with Orpheus, I became the outlet for the infinite sea.'

'So Orpheus's soul is the Infinite Sea itself! The Forbidden Zone of Creation is merely a part of her soul!'

'Could it be that Orpheus reached a higher level than the other masters of the forbidden zones in his previous life?'

Filled with various realizations and new doubts, Leon controlled this split thought and began to search for the location of Orpheus's main personality.

Chapter 572 The Two-Faced Ophimasso

To Leon's surprise, guided by the soul link, he quickly found the main personality of Orpheus in the vast ocean of information.

It was a mysterious and enormous statue standing in the middle of the sea. Its body was convex and curvaceous, and its outer robe was noble and elegant. Every pattern on the outer seam naturally emitted boundless divine light.

Next to the statue of the deity was a human figure of average height, with a face identical to Ophimosa, but with a pained expression, as if enduring some kind of torment.

The two faces are extremely similar in essence, but in terms of temperament, the giant statue has a more disdainful and domineering aura.

Although Ophelia has a queen-like personality at heart, she gradually becomes more gentle after meeting Leon.

Therefore, although the two statues of different heights have the same face, Leon can still recognize which one is the version that is with him.

'From what I can see, that towering statue represents Orpheus's main personality, that is, the personality she had when she was the Lord of the Forbidden Zone. The one with the pained face next to her should be the modern personality born in this era, but...'

Lyon observed for a moment, his heart sinking slightly.

Because he discovered that the boundless divine light emanating from the giant statue next door was slowly eroding Orpheus's modern personality.

Without a doubt, the personality she has developed a romantic relationship with is the modern Orpheus before her. If she were to be corrupted by her past personality, what she would become is unknown.

The most relevant examples in this regard are Aurahande and Keketi. After all, although the relationship between the main body and the clone is different, it can be compared to different personalities in different eras.

Based on my experience with all the reigning champions of the restricted area, they were all known for their absolute authority when they were at their peak.

Even the personality of modern Orpheus might be completely digested if things go wrong.

In other words, the best course of action is to find a way to help Orpheus regain control and become the dominant personality he currently possesses.

After quickly confirming what he needed to do, Leon began communicating with the temporary main consciousness on the outside, launching a conceptual deception while simultaneously injecting more conceptual essence into it.

The deceptive rhetoric is naturally targeted at the personality of the modern Orpheus:

'All the memories you have of Leon Belon in your soul will be the most steadfast memories deep within your soul, unaffected by other streams of information!'

Because the targeted memories were very precise, all of which were shared by Leon and her, the mental energy expenditure was barely able to maintain a balance.

With the addition of 20 points of Concept Essence, which cleared out one-fifth of the inventory, the pained expression of the modern Orpheus personality in front of him had been greatly relieved.

However, Lyon keenly realized that simply solidifying his memory was not enough to solve the fundamental problem.

Because the boundless sea, a forbidden zone of creation, has been refined into the soul, its inherent depth and terror are simply immeasurable.

With such a massive flow of information constantly washing over us, even the most solid memories can slowly rust away.

Moreover, the modern Orpheus still needs to devote some of his energy to overcoming the tribulation of becoming a god, and the mental energy required is considerable.

Immediately, Lyon transmitted a message to the modern version of Orpheus:

“Ophie, I have cast my self-created magic, the Wish Miracle Spell, on you. This is an extremely powerful magic. After I created this magic, the laws of the world changed drastically, and more than a dozen special phenomena appeared in the world, such as the resonance of laws, the falling of black stars, the earthquake cracking, and ten thousand thunderbolts. All these phenomena demonstrate the extraordinary nature of my magic.”

"But the premise is that you must firmly believe that you can withstand the erosion from your past personality. You must have a very strong belief for this magic to work its magic!"

Those unusual phenomena were, of course, fabricated by him by combining them with the unusual phenomena that occurred during his past advancements, and were essentially unrelated to the birth of this spell.

Why did he say that?

Because in the past, when he defrauded people of various magics and skills, he would only describe those that had not yet been created, and he could only describe their specific effects and the principles he made up.

This combination, along with the added benefit of his con artist, has consistently proven very effective.

But now that he has mastered this skill, any further benefits would be redundant, so he decided to try a different approach.

That is to exaggerate one's skills, making them as exaggerated as possible.

At this critical juncture, if Orpheus, as the master of the forbidden zone, truly believes in it, the power of his spell might very well receive a boost.

Meanwhile, the modern Orpheus personality, upon receiving Leon's message, immediately replied:

"Leon, are all these strange phenomena you described born from when you created that magic?"

"Correct."

"So all I need to do now is believe? Nothing else?"

"Yes, if you haven't felt the blessing of this spell yet, it must be because your firm desire and belief in winning this erosion are not strong enough."
