【Item Name: Whisper of the Nameless.<</p>【Type: Consumable.<</p>【Item Level: C.<</p>【Item Description: Upon using the item, gain the "Forced Comprehension" status. Under the "Forced Comprehension" status, regardless of the situation, the User's Will will not drop to zero, nor will they suffer damage due to low Will. Duration: One minute.<</p>【Remark: Indistinct whispers fill my ears. This is wonderful; I am gradually understanding everything.<</p>The reason Randy's entire body was covered by the Flame of Purification yet his Soul did not dissipate was because when Wu Chang handed Randy the medicine earlier, he replaced the actual contents of the capsule with the 【Whisper of the Nameless<.</p>This served as an insurance policy.
If his plan failed and Randy believed in the existence of magic, resurrecting Lyman, this insurance might awaken Randy's Consciousness, allowing for a desperate comeback.
If his plan succeeded and Randy still devoutly believed in science, with Lyman not resurrected, it would only be the loss of one C-Level Consumable.
The facts proved his insurance policy was the right move.
The Tranquility Sect was indeed well-prepared; even though he had foreseen their Conspiracy in advance, he still fell into their Trap.
Wolf didn't need his help to persuade Randy; he only needed him to get Randy out of the Office and expose him to the Church of Serenity.
In other words, any Player who entered the Instance intending to use Randy's Strength against the Tranquility Sect had already fallen into the Trap, inevitably triggering the Evil God's Incarnation ending.
It was a pity the Tranquility Sect encountered Wu Chang.
Wu Chang was not fighting alone.
At this moment, he inherited the Will and Relics of Players like the Mage, the Gambler, the Doctor, and even Old Anderson and the First Generation Secret Knight Order members.
Thus, the situation he set up for Lyman came to fruition.
When wearing the King's Emblem, the hidden Remark for the Demon-Breaking Crossbow Bolt displayed, "Only striking the Origin can truly harm the Evil God."
There were two methods to strike the Origin: sacrificing the Demon-Breaking Crossbow Bolt or using the Purification Formation. Both were Ruthless Moves prepared for Lyman by the Arcane Knights back then.
Since He didn't enjoy them back then, Wu Chang was now making up for it.
First, the Purification Formation slowly simmered, inducing Numbness in Lyman, while simultaneously controlling the firepower to bring Randy's Soul to the brink of death, placing him within the execution threshold of the Purification Formation.
Once within the execution threshold, he immediately resonated the King's Emblem and the Arcane Emblem, unleashing the Arcane Knights' trump card, the Final Purification, to finish the job.
The Final Purification could be called the pinnacle masterpiece of Human Mysticism; even an Evil God would find it difficult to resist, let alone when continuously entering the execution state during the Final Purification.
In just a few breaths, Lyman could no longer hold on.
The blackness in Randy's eyes rapidly receded. At this rate, he would regain clarity in about ten more seconds.
However, just as Wu Chang was gazing into Randy's eyes, the Body covered by the Flame of Purification suddenly stopped twitching, and he sharply raised his head to meet Wu Chang's gaze.
The next moment, Wu Chang saw the blackness in Randy's eyes rapidly expand, instantly swallowing everything within.
"What the hell!"
Wu Chang felt as if he had fallen into the Deep Sea, his Body instinctively struggling violently. Immediately afterward, he heard a 'bang' in his ears, followed by an indescribable, sharp pain originating from his little toe.
The pain brought him back to his senses. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on his Dormitory bed.
There was no Sanatorium around, no Zombies littering the ground, and no resurrected Evil God—it was all just a Dream.
And he had just kicked the guardrail beside the bed because of that Dream.
Looking down, the nail of his little toe was bruised purple, almost ripped off.
Hiss!
Just looking at it sent a piercing pain through him.
Knock, knock, knock.
He frowned. Which unlucky soul was visiting at this hour?
"Who is it?"
Limping off the bed, before he could reach the door to open it, he saw the Dormitory door being forced open with Brute force.
An indescribable Monster appeared at the doorway, like seawater rushing into the hull when the Titanic struck the reef, violently surging into the Dormitory.
The Monster's existence defied description; it wasn't like anything Wu Chang had ever seen, resembling an aggregate of countless writhing things, its form constantly shifting as it writhed.
Yet, if one said it had no appearance, one could still discern the Shadow of anything from its countless tiny, writhing components.
The more closely he looked, the stranger it seemed.
The Monster's existence seemed to transcend space. Wu Chang faced it directly, yet his perspective constantly shifted between looking down, looking up, and looking straight on. Sometimes, even stranger perspectives, such as from the inside out, would appear.
After one fleeting perspective flashed by, he suddenly had an epiphany: the thing before him was not a physical entity but an Emotion, or perhaps a Spiritual Body.
At that moment, he truly saw it.
Simultaneously, the small writhing component he was staring at burst open, and an overwhelming Fear drowned him.
The impact of that Fear and Despair was enough to instantly turn an Ordinary Person into an Idiot.
Black Blood flowed from Wu Chang's seven orifices. He began to tremble; he felt every cell in his Body shaking, as if they would collapse from excessive Fear the next moment and scatter in panic.
Just then, an indistinct whisper sounded in his ear.
The content of the whisper was unclear, but it brought him immense peace, stabilizing his nearly shattered Will and gradually restoring his composure.
He almost failed.
He hadn't expected Lyman to resist even at the point of death, pulling him into the Dreamscape.
What surprised him even more was that Lyman revealed his true form in the Dreamscape, and just a glance nearly scared him to death.
Fortunately, while activating the Final Purification, he had prudently consumed a 【Whisper of the Nameless< himself.</p>As Lyman, the controller of the Power of Dream and Reality, although he could manipulate the duration of time within the Dreamscape, the Duration of the 【Whisper of the Nameless< was based on absolute external time and would not be affected by the length of the Dreamscape.</p>This meant that no matter how long time stretched in the Dreamscape before the Flame of Purification burned Lyman away, his Spirit would not collapse.
Lyman's final counterattack had instead become self-defeating.
Recalling the Soul-piercing Fear, Wu Chang's anger surged, and malice took root. He prepared to give this Evil God Lyman a little taste of human shock.
He took the towel hanging by the bed, wiped the Blood from his face, and revealed a slightly eerie smile.
He was the master of the Dreamscape. After being attacked by Lyman, the Dreamscape turned into a lucid dream, and he gained partial control over it.
"You showed me something good, so I should show you something nice too."
With that, he turned on Old Fourth's Computer, found a hidden folder named "Fetish," and began playing the restricted videos inside.
Under his control, the hundreds of gigabytes of Grotesque videos finished playing rapidly in a few seconds.
After watching Old Fourth's treasured collection, Lyman seemed to have seen something filthy; his entire Body writhed violently.
A strong Emotion imbued with Will filled the entire Dormitory.
"Ptooey! Pervert! Disgusting! Even Hell would close its doors if it saw you!"
Lyman's "physical discomfort" greatly reduced his control over Wu Chang's Dreamscape, and the Flame of Purification also burned into the Dreamscape along the Origin.
White flames erupted from the gaps in Lyman's Body, scorching every single writhing component that constituted his form.
As the writhing components turned to ash, the Dreamscape shattered accordingly.
