Chapter 813: Differences Among Anomalies
Chapter 813: Differences Among Anomalies
"Meow meow?"
After waiting for a while without a response, even the hand that was massaging her own neck paused unconsciously. Cat Witch Princess couldn't help but look up at the brooding Malevolent Prince, her face filled with confusion as she meowed a question.
'Nothing.'
Lyon scratched the Cat Witch Princess's chin, and as he snapped out of his thoughts, he said, 'I just find it strange that the Tyrant King Society is suddenly targeting the Yarn Ball Society. From the current situation, they don't seem to have a reason to do this, so there must be something else we don't know about.'
Upon hearing this, the Cat Witch Princess narrowed her eyes, then spoke with uncertainty, 'Do you think they're targeting the Yarn Ball Society to threaten me using their safety?'
'That's unnecessary.'
Lyon shook his head, 'You're already locked in. You can only follow the "plot" set by the Bedtime Story. They don't need to do anything. Once the predetermined "plot" node is reached, without needing to threaten anyone else, you will take the initiative to show up.'
'So, there must be some rules in this Bedtime Story that we don't know about yet, and it's crucial intelligence... Oh, right, how's that hat coming along? How much longer until it's ready?'
'Almost, almost!'
Hearing Lyon's question, the Cat Witch Princess raised her right paw and, like a person reaching into their pocket, she rummaged through the fur on the outer side of her right leg, then pulled out a gleaming amber stone. A large red sleep cap with a white ball at its top was slowly emerging from within the amber.
'I couldn't destroy this hat, and I was worried they might find me through it, so I sealed it inside the amber. It should be ready in about half an hour.'
'Mmm-hmm.'
Lyon glanced at the sleep cap with its white ball, which had already partially freed itself from the amber's constraints, and his eyebrows lifted slightly. He then reached out and gently touched the ball on the cap.
[Name: Story God's Sleep Cap (Truth, Truth, Story)]
[Appearance: A brightly colored, tall sleep cap with a white ball at its top. The ball is made of soft, fluffy material resembling hair. The cap is soft, comfortable, and fluffy, ensuring a good night's sleep when worn.]
[Ability: Tale of Illusions, Asul's Sleep, Story Intervenor]
[Cost: After wearing the sleep cap and intervening in the story, you will become a complete ordinary person until the story is completely over, unable to make any moves that deviate from your "role".]
[Archive: In Old Earth, after witnessing the death of the Supreme Four Pillars God in the past, the Story God awakened the sleeping "Asul's Sleep" and asked it to wear its hat, successfully borrowing the truth belonging to "Asul's Sleep". This granted the ability to put a portion of order to sleep, ensuring that order would no longer be stable, prosperity would decline, and even fate would be affected.]
[Evaluation: "Tale of Illusions" refers to a story that is not real. By wearing this sleep cap, you must follow the order set by the Story God, but you also gain the qualification to intervene in a "Tale of Illusions".]
[Immersion Value: Equal to the maximum immersion value of the user]
"Zzzz"
[Through your own observation and summary, you have obtained a large amount of intelligence about the "Story God's Sleep Cap"... Your resistance to this anomaly has greatly increased, and you can now block its deeper influences.]
...
Although it felt a bit abstract, it seemed like it wasn't a complete loss. Lyon stared at the "Story God's Sleep Cap" several times, trying to grasp the situation, and couldn't help but furrow his brows in thought.
He remembered that when chatting with the Aquarius Director, he had heard some information about the Supreme Four Pillars God.
The old man had told him that Asul was the combined name for "Order, Prosperity, and Fate" in the Old Earth language, and 'sleep' in the Old Earth language seemed to imply proximity to endings and conclusions.
So, the truth mastered by the Supreme Four Pillars God, Asul's Sleep, when translated, meant disorder, the end of prosperity, and the sleep of fate. If this ancient pillar god voluntarily entered sleep, order would become unstable, prosperity would decline, and even fate would be affected.
When the Tale of Illusions explored Old Earth, they encountered the already deceased Asul's Sleep and borrowed the truth of disorder from his three truths, combining it with their own truth of illusions. This granted them the ability to forcefully alter reality.
Therefore, the so-called Bedtime Story is actually the combination of the truths of "Tale of Illusions" and "Order's Sleep", where order and rules are forcefully disrupted, and the originally illusory story gains the qualification to become reality...
"Zzzz"
[Through your own induction and contemplation, you have obtained a large amount of intelligence about the "Bedtime Story"... Your resistance to this anomaly has slightly increased, and you can now block a certain degree of its influence.]
Finally!
Hearing the activation of Materialism, Lyon felt a familiar sense of relief, as if a thousand pounds had been lifted from his shoulders. His entire body relaxed, and even his cat-petting skills seemed to improve.
Indeed, Materialism is the best!
Differences among anomalies also exist. The clear yellow Wine Immortal is just a courage-inducing wine, and the fragrant Man Behind the Queen is just a bowl of soft rice, but I, the great Materialism, am the only true god!
"Meow, meow, meow?"
Feeling the sudden increase in the Malevolent Prince's cat-petting intensity and the remarkable improvement in his finger dexterity, the Cat Witch Princess in Lyon's arms shuddered and spread her four paws, struggling to voice a weak protest.
"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Lyon offered an uncharacteristic smile, apologizing to the surprised Cat Witch Princess. However, he didn't immediately explain his change but instead glanced at the door of the reception room.
Not long after, the Cat Witch Princess's ears perked up, and she heard heavy footsteps approaching from the corridor outside.
It must be the Captain of the High Mage Court... Wait a minute! I'm a cat right now, isn't Lyon locked into the Bedtime Story? How can his hearing be better than mine? Has he found a way to break free from the Bedtime Story?!
"I can't completely break free from the Bedtime Story yet, but I've gained some insight.
Seeing the Cat Witch Princess's transparent eyes, Lyon, feeling liberated from some of the Bedtime Story's constraints, couldn't help but smile and pinch the Cat Witch Princess's soft cheeks.
"After we finish here, we'll go and kidnap the princess and help you vent your anger!"
