Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

292: Chapter 286 Are there any warm places left?As the True Word faded in his ears, Zhang Mu came back to his senses, finding it very familiar.

Or rather, he had already recognized it, but it was just somewhat unbelievable.

The moment the Pope appeared in the capital, he understood that the ”him” mentioned in the divine oracle was someone by his side.

Zhang Mu had wondered who it could be and what their relationship with God was.

Initially, he thought the probability of it being Mihe was quite high; after all, forming a Resistance Army in an environment like the Saul Continent was not something a normal person could do.

But he quickly dismissed it because Mihe lacked a little... something different from others.

Following this line of thought deeper, he naturally turned his gaze toward Solon and Palina.

Ordinary people without Professional talent, whose thoughts were incompatible with the people of the Saul Continent and whose hearts contained a certain quality, perfectly fit the ”special” requirement.

His gaze shifted between the two for a long time, but ultimately, he remained uncertain.

He never expected it to be Lia, a plain Demi-human.

Yes, Lia also had special qualities, such as carrying the key to the Clear Spring Treasure, and her strange behavior of wanting the crystal back before leaving the capital but then entrusting Mihe to return it after setting off.

Zhang Mu’s reaction was not slow; at the time, he had also hesitated over whether ”he” was Lia.

But because she was too obvious, it ultimately became the reason he excluded the Little Cat Girl.

All the clues eventually converged on her, making it far too conspicuous.

Aren’t stories always written like this—putting forward a dazzling false target to mask the true Core?

Before hearing the True Word, Zhang Mu was very certain of his judgment.

However, only now did he realize: if a human enters their own sheepfold to grab a sheep, would they worry about anything and go through the trouble of an elaborate disguise to ensure the lamb doesn’t know its companion was taken by a ”monster”?

Humans wouldn’t.

Because a sheep’s brain isn’t sufficient to understand these things; even if it did, what could it do?

Escape the sheepfold? Could it escape the areas where humans live?

A sheep cannot physically break free from a planet’s gravity and cross space to fly to other distant star systems.

So God wouldn’t either.

Zhang Mu woke from his contemplation and looked around.

The twenty-some City Lords who had sporadically survived all had faces full of relief at having escaped death.

The arrival of over a thousand Professionals from the legion led by the Second Prince meant that the Saint-level old man had become their enemy.

They were already barely holding on; with another Saint-level in perfect condition and one injured, they would have died in the capital within a minute at most.

Now that there was a True Word forbidding combat, it couldn’t be better.

”Junior,” Avril flew over from the side. The Magic Tower she held earlier was nowhere to be seen, having already disappeared. ”That voice just now...”

”Yeah, it’s Lia.”

Her icy blue eyebrows furrowed: ”The True Word Spell she used...”

”If I’m not mistaken, she probably doesn’t know the True Word Spell.”

Hearing this, Avril recalled the events in Kas Town and said in surprise, ”Are you saying the treasure beneath the spring was prepared for her?”

”That should be the truth.”

”Then... what’s with her True Word?”

Zhang Mu pondered for a moment: ”It’s probably inseparable from God. I estimate, well, it might be a trump card God gave her, something that can’t be used many times.”

After saying that, he suddenly sped toward the city gate: ”Senior, I’ll leave the situation here for you to handle. I’ll be back soon.”

Avril knew what he was going to do and nodded in agreement.

Zhang Mu flew at full speed, crossing the sky above the ruins in over a minute, arriving at the wide dirt road in front of the city gate.

The surroundings were exceptionally quiet; they seemed to have already left.

Just as he was about to give chase along the road, a letter suddenly drifted down from the sky and landed in his palm.

He opened it, pulled out the letter, and quickly scanned it.

The content of the letter was very simple.

Lia told Zhang Mu that the True Word Spell she used was a sliver of divine power God had hidden within her body.

Therefore, the effect was limited; the spoken True Word could only last for about a year.
