Chapter 889: Chapter 884: Fake as Not Fake, True as Not True Chapter 889: Chapter 884: Fake as Not Fake, True as Not True Western Battlefield.

Observing the cordyceps slowly materializing from an illusion, Bai Qiucha and his companions were all somewhat surprised.

“Epsilon? Has Bai Qi come?”

A glimmer of hope flashed across Bai Qiucha’s eyes.

If Bai Qi could come, then the guardian dragons wouldn’t need to lift a finger.

“The leader didn’t come, it’s just me.”

The cordyceps shook its head, and Bai Qiucha and the five-colored giant dragon immediately showed disappointed expressions.

If it were any other enemy, even mythical creatures, Bai Qi sending over the cordyceps alone wouldn’t be a problem.

But what they were facing now was the Black Fog Serpent, and ordinary mythical creatures were no match for it, let alone the cordyceps as a legendary creature.

“Epsilon, you stay here to protect them, we’ll go deal with the Black Fog Serpent.”

Seeing that Bai Yuxiao’s condition was stabilizing, Aleta stood up, and the other five-colored giant dragons also rose and charged towards the Black Fog Serpent.

Everyone was well aware of the power of the Death Avatar, so they absolutely couldn’t allow it to come close, otherwise, it would only cause greater damage.

Although it would waste some guardian power, they were only dealing with an avatar after all, and it shouldn’t consume too much power.

“The leader said that the power of the seniors is hard to come by, so let’s not waste it, just leave this place to me,” said the cordyceps.

The cordyceps’ voice suddenly came from in front, and the five-colored giant dragon suddenly found that, for some unknown reason, the cordyceps had gotten in front of them, while the cordyceps that was supposed to stay behind was fading away like an illusion.

“Was that just an illusion?”

Seeing this scene, Aleta’s expression became more serious.

With her top-level mythic strength and the guardian power within her, she had just failed to see through the cordyceps’ illusion.

This level of ability could probably deceive the vast majority of myths.

“When the true becomes false, the false also becomes true; when both the true and false are indistinguishable, what difference does it make?”

The cordyceps said with a faint smile, its eyes full of clarity as if it had seen through everything in the world.

“But…”

Aleta wanted to say something else, but found that the scenery around her had changed once again, and they were back at their original position.

And the cordyceps was still at a distance.

Seeing this, the five-colored giant dragon exchanged glances, and Bai Qiucha and others were even more confused.

From the beginning, they had fallen under the cordyceps’ illusion without realizing it.

If this ability were used for sneak attacks or to disrupt the enemy troops, they probably would have killed their own people while still feeling triumphant.

However, after the meddling of the cordyceps, Aleta and the others gave up on entangling with the cordyceps and simply sat down to help Bai Qiucha and Bai Yuxiao recover their strength.

Both had achieved tremendous growth, and if they could recover before the final battle, they might be able to have an unexpected effect.

Seeing the five-colored giant dragon no longer persisting, the cordyceps put the matter aside, and at this moment, the Black Fog Serpent was not far from it.

“Although I’ve seen it a long time ago, getting this close doesn’t seem too good, does it?”

Looking at the ferocious Black Fog Serpent, the cordyceps showed no fear but bowed politely to the serpent.

Afterward, the distance between them suddenly expanded many times over; the Black Fog Serpent unexpectedly returned to the place where it first descended.

Hiss hiss hiss…

Perceiving the strange abilities of the cordyceps, the Black Fog Serpent, for the first time like a true snake, shot up its neck, and with each movement, unleashed a terribly savage energy.

Under the influence of this savage energy, the giant dragons behind them as well as the transcendent creatures of Eden became agitated.

“Bullying the weak is not a very polite behavior,” said the cordyceps, showing a hint of disappointment, before a full moon appeared in the sky above the humans, constantly shedding moonlight to soothe their irritated disposition.

At the same time, a great sun appeared above the Black Fog Serpent’s head, the scorching sunlight falling on its body and scorching huge pits on it.

As the clearest celestial body seen by humans, the power of the Great Sun was not the slightest bit inferior to the other phenomena; even in terms of output, it was much higher.

But how could the Black Fog Serpent, as a Death Avatar, be eliminated just by the power of the Great Sun?

The moment the power of the Great Sun caused it damage, the Black Fog Serpent spewed out a mouthful of Black Fog, surging towards the sky.

This Black Fog moved very slowly, but wherever it passed, all forms of energy were greatly impacted and directly destroyed.

Even the power of the Great Sun released by the cordyceps was forcibly severed in half upon touching the Black Fog.

“The power of destruction? It’s just as the leader said; these Death Avatars have begun to master new powers,” commented the cordyceps without surprise, with gold and silver glint flickering in its eyes. Above the Black Fog Serpent’s head, the Great Sun and the full moon appeared simultaneously, casting down their light.

When the Sun and Moon shine together, the effect is certainly not a simple one plus one equals two. The two distinct natures of the powers combined to form a new energy that dispersed the Black Fog ejected by the Black Fog Serpent.

The cordyceps, who had mastered the origin of the Sun and Moon, now held a powerful purifying force, and it was fortunate that there were no other Dead Beasts there, otherwise just the presence of the cordyceps could have easily cleared the field.

As the Power of Sun and Moon descended from the sky, the Black Fog Serpent sensed the threat and began to dodge in all directions; but with its massive size, no matter how it dodged, it couldn’t escape the illumination of the Sun and Moon glow.

Finally, after having a small part of its body purified, the ferocity of the Black Fog Serpent was also stimulated; with just one bite, it tore off a large chunk from the dark clouds above and its just-purified body rapidly regenerated.

Afterward, an even denser black fog was spewed out by the Black Fog Serpent, shooting straight towards the Sun and Moon overhead.

These Sun and Moon were not the ones that hung permanently in the sky, but were condensed from the Sun and Moon Origin within the Cordyceps.

As long as these Sun and Moon were destroyed, the Cordyceps’s attack would collapse upon itself.

But when the Black Fog Serpent made its move, the Cordyceps still remained unperturbed, even as it saw the Sun and Moon being destroyed by the power of destruction contained within the black fog, it remained unmoved.

“They say snakes are blind, and it turns out to be true. Where were you striking at just now?”

Only after the Black Fog Serpent utterly destroyed the Sun and Moon did the Cordyceps finally speak, its face filled with mockery.

Subsequently, the world changed once again, the Sun and Moon that should have been destroyed still hung high in the sky, while the Black Fog Serpent was tightly biting its own tail, continuously spewing out the power of destruction.

The Black Fog Serpent had actually mistaken its own tail for the Sun and Moon and attacked it.

“Even the Black Fog Serpent could be deceived, Epsilon’s illusion abilities are simply too formidable.”

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor’s face was full of shock; he too knew illusion techniques, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to communicate amiably with other female creatures.

But such a lifelike illusion as Epsilon’s was out of his reach.

“What is fake is not fake, what is true is not true, Epsilon’s abilities are probably beyond mere illusions.”

Nicholas, being a Green Dragon, seemed to have realized something. Connecting the evolution process of the Cordyceps’s abilities, he quickly figured out the underlying pattern.

“What Epsilon is using now is probably related to abilities involving the true and the false.

It seemed that Nicholas’s assessment had been overheard, as a proud smile appeared on the Cordyceps’s face.

[Name]: Illusory Mirage Dragon (Epsilon)
[Nature]: Sun and Moon, Dragon, Plant
[Level]: Legendary Perfection
[Skills]: Sun and Moon (Origin), True and False (Origin), Lust (99.9%)
[Condition]: Non-evolvable
…

Everyone, including Bai Qi, thought that the Cordyceps would realize the origin of either reality or illusion, but no one expected that it would ultimately comprehend the even higher level of the True and False Origin.

When the true is also false, the false is also true; when the false is also true, the true is also false. For the Cordyceps, the conflation of the real and the unreal, the true and the false, is just a matter of thought.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

However, the Cordyceps’s tricks had completely enraged the Black Fog Serpent. Its body, formerly like cloud and fog, suddenly condensed, and a pure, unadulterated aura of destruction radiated from it.

At the same time, most creatures present suddenly lost track of the Black Fog Serpent, not even able to sense its presence.

This was not because the Black Fog Serpent had concealed itself, but because the power of destruction it released had obliterated light and even spirit power.

If one’s strength weren’t formidable enough, they might not even know how they were destroyed.

But the Cordyceps was an exception.

“A power capable of destroying everything, indeed it’s strong, but how can you be sure that you’re truly destroying those things?”

A touch of pity flashed in the Cordyceps’s eyes as the space and energy, which were supposed to be obliterated by the power of destruction, restored completely.

“The things you destroy may be false or may be true, but if you can’t distinguish between true and false yourself, what’s the point of destruction?”

Perhaps annoyed by the Cordyceps’s nagging, the Black Fog Serpent’s aura grew more violent, but no matter how it erupted or destroyed, everything around it was always restored in an instant.

“Destruction is just a concept; if it can’t destroy anything, then by that concept, it’s false. Only when you can destroy something does the concept become true.”

“But now, what can you destroy?”

The Cordyceps spoke slowly, but this only aggravated the Black Fog Serpent further. Sealed by the Sun Beetle for so many years, it too had developed its own intelligence, though not a great deal.

After all, creatures capable of wielding the power of destruction usually don’t like to think too much.

And so, the Black Fog Serpent, flustered by the Cordyceps’s incessant chatter, yet unable to do anything to it, could only spray destruction power at random.

During this time, the Cordyceps was also hit by the power of destruction, but like everything else, it quickly restored.

“You see, you can’t destroy me, nor can you destroy the world. The so-called destruction is now a false proposition.”

“If you want to destroy me, then you must prove it to be true, and the only way…

“…is to destroy yourself!”

No sooner had the words fallen than the Black Fog Serpent indeed exploded, its once plump body reduced to a small black sphere, which then slowly dematerialized.

Such a dangerous thing, of course, had to be thrown into the Endless Void.

Seeing how the Cordyceps resolved the Black Fog Serpent with such nonchalance, everyone, including the Five-Colored Giant Dragon and Bai Qiucha, was somewhat bewildered, unsure of how to comment.

In the end, it was the Cowskin Snake that spoke the thoughts of everyone.

“Why do I feel that keeping Epsilon’s combat power around might be more worthwhile than keeping the Guardian Power?”
