Global Game: I Have Portable Store

The room fell into a brief silence, filled with the aroma of incense, which the Emperor greatly favored for its refreshing and mind-clearing properties.

The Emperor quickly accepted the reality, softly saying, ”The Divine Spirit’s power is stronger than we imagined; however, it doesn’t seem to harbor ill intentions towards us at present. Let’s wait and see how things develop.”

”Lune, reinforce this room’s Magic Array.”

He suddenly worried that the matters they discussed here might be overheard by the Divine Spirit.

They found it difficult to comprehend how powerful the Divine Spirit truly was, or if it was as omniscient and omnipotent as recorded by the Ancient Church.

Lune nodded, then changed the topic, saying: ”Regarding the black-armored cavalry that attacked the Saintess today, witnesses say the remaining black-armored cavalry entered Count Fengye’s territory...”

The situation was quite clear; it was more than likely Count Fengye’s doing.

The Emperor sighed, ”Why would he do this? Has he gone insane?”

Lune’s expression turned grave, reminding, ”Your Majesty, we all know he’s never been insane; otherwise, he couldn’t have assembled an elite and powerful legion.”

Takka has always been recognized as the Empire’s strongest Mage, but rumors suggest Count Fengye’s current strength surpasses that, though it’s unclear if this is true or not.

If it is true, the Empire would be even more wary of moving against Count Fengye, as a powerful mage could have a game-changing impact on the battlefield.

Moreover, with the Demon Race’s army already pressing the border, they dare not act recklessly.

·······

Until the next morning.

There was no activity from the Demon Race in Viduo City, as if they were already intimidated. Luo Haodong, feeling somewhat bored, wandered the nearby mountains, capturing some lion-like creatures for a barbecue.

This was probably his greatest hobby now, barbecuing.

But do Demons really have a sense of taste?

Su Changxing was doubtful about this, yet seeing Luo Haodong add a heap of spices, he thought there must be, at least for Luo Haodong.

...

Holding a lantern, he walked into the white mist. The cyan light from the lamp illuminated the surroundings. Through the mist, numerous chaotic illusions could be seen, birthed from the heart, formed from chaos, directly striking the heart.

”This place is much more terrifying than in the Death Rift.” Sean was sweating from his forehead, his heart pounding fiercely, yet he insisted on following Su Changxing inside.

Su Changxing walked ahead, holding the lantern, turned back to him, and calmly said, ”If you’re afraid of dying, why follow? Just stay outside and wait for the white mist to dissipate, then you can leave.”

Sean, with a distressed face, responded, ”I feel safer following you, boss, even in this white mist.”

Perhaps because Su Changxing brought him out of the Death Rift, he instinctively felt safer following him. Although outside, they were not within the White Ice Illusion Mist, they were surrounded by it.

Jin bluntly said, ”Coward!”

”...” Sean couldn’t understand why this woman’s personality changed so drastically, previously she was quite polite.

A coward is a coward, after all, sticking close to Su Changxing is important.

Within the white mist, monsters would occasionally attack them. Due to their Perception being shielded by the Chaos, they usually noticed the monsters only when they got close.

Jin was carrying a mini Gatling gun, randomly firing into the mist, catching quite a few unfortunate souls in a barrage of bullets. A few steps forward, corpses of Demons lay in the White Ice Illusion Mist, accidentally strayed and affected.

”The illumination range is still too small, seriously affecting Perception.” Su Changxing looked at the lantern in his hand, realizing the problem. Perception was severely restricted here, and in case of danger, it might be hard to react immediately.

The Crimson Flame Divine Lamp is a Divine Artifact. Theoretically, if driven by Faith, it should wield greater power.

Thinking thus, he infused Faith into the Crimson Flame Divine Lamp. The cyan flame roared to life, its color changing to a crimson red. A noticeable heat emanated from the lamp, and its illumination range suddenly expanded more than tenfold, brightening everything around.

Indeed, this was the case.

Jin turned her head, intrigued, and said, ”The noise inside the flame disappeared.”

”Disappeared?” Su Changxing looked surprised, without comprehending what this entailed.

He thought about the melding nature of Faith itself. Perhaps, while ordinary Energy could be fuel for the Cyan Nether Divine Fire, it also collided with and clashed against it.

The Cyan Nether Divine Fire likely represents Truth, indicating that common Power has an illusory nature.

This could be interpreted as Yin and Yang in conflicting states at different layers.

Hence, the nature of Faith itself is true, at least it wouldn’t conflict with the Cyan Nether Divine Fire.

After the illumination range widened, Su Changxing also summoned part of the Undead Legion as pathfinders.

Continually advancing, things remained quiet. The Ice Kingdom seemed unaware of their arrival, while the aura of the two Celestial Calamity Demons grew increasingly distinct, seemingly nearby.

Suddenly, a voice came from straight ahead.

”Didn’t expect you to dare come in, truly unafraid of death, human!”

Like the howling of countless Evil Ghosts, spreading densely in the ears, reminiscent of insects crawling over the skin.
