Chapter 880: The World in the Mirror

This astonishing scene immediately attracted the attention of many high-level beings.

Without the cover of the magic of fate, the truth of the gray fog's actions was immediately revealed. Knowing that they had been tricked, the other ninth-level beings immediately tried to cross the space to come over, but found that the space within the Eternal Night Ice Field had been disrupted in advance by some force and could not be teleported.

As a former ninth-rank prophet, the gray fog might not be able to stop the arrival of [Man in the Mirror] Avis and [Stargazer] Brents, but the arrangements he left behind could easily delay others for a short period of time.

At the same time, in the far north of the Gloria Empire, in the study on the top floor of Moon Castle, Avis, wearing a long black cloak, stepped out from the shadow of a corner of the bookshelf and walked under the slanting sunlight from the huge stained glass window.

"Is it time to go back?"

Sensing the presence of Avis, Fiona, who was looking out the window with her chin in her hand, turned her head slightly, and a look of joy flashed in her big lake-blue eyes.

"Yes, it's almost time. Next, we will return to the original timeline soon."

Nodding slightly, Avis walked to Fiona's side and looked out at the cloudless sky outside the towering arched windows, as well as the flocks of white migratory birds migrating in groups.

"...I understand. Do I need to make any preparations?"

Hearing the expected answer, the girl nodded vigorously, and her long, soft light golden hair lit up slightly, proving that her owner was in a very happy mood at the moment.

"Preparation? No need, but before we leave, maybe we can see something more unique."

With a mysterious smile, as the girl tilted her head in confusion and looked at him, Avis materialized a strange illusory round mirror in mid-air.

Following a wave like ripples on the water, some images appeared blurry on the surface of the lens, and then quickly became clear. It was the scene around the Tower of Destiny.

At this moment, a pillar of light connecting the sky and the earth was emitting from the top of the stone tower, connecting to the dark and narrow crack in the sky that looked like an eye.

"Is this... the Holy Messiah Empire's Tower of Destiny? What's on that light?"

Fiona opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at the scenery in the mirror in confusion.

“That crack…”

Staring at the image in the mirror, Avis spoke in a low voice.

“That is, the coming doomsday—” … .…. “You just let him go like that?”

Under the Tower of Destiny, Claire looked at the gray fog that seemed to have escaped along the beam of light. She glanced puzzledly at the black-haired boy beside her who was looking up at the night sky without making any move to stop it.

“He has nowhere to go.”

In response to Claire's doubts, Avis smiled calmly.

"Great... Is that your [World Deduction]?"

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the side.

"Yes, I wonder if you, the Stargazer, have any advice for me?"

Turning his gaze to the source of the sound, Avis looked at the Stargazer, who seemed to have given up struggling, with an interested expression.

"Now, this should be considered our second meeting, right?"

Giving Avis a deep look, Stargazer stroked his translucent spiral beard and spoke in a hoarse voice.

“When a prophet breaks through the ninth level, he will receive an additional gift from the Web of Fate. I call this ability [World Deduction].

It seems that the effect of your [World Deduction] ability is to create a false destiny."

"World deduction?"

Listening to the stargazer's old voice, Avis gently raised his right hand, and in his palm, a crystal-like illusory round mirror emerged.

"I prefer to call it the mirror world."

As Anvis moved, the image of the low Stone Tower of Destiny was reflected in the mirror.

But strangely, the stone tower looked ordinary in the mirror, with no huge beam of light or eye-like crack extending from the top.

"Here, the fate of the real world will be temporarily swapped with the world in the mirror. Although everything will develop as it does in the real world, it is only the world in the mirror that will change."

Holding the illusory round mirror, Avis smiled calmly.

"Of course, due to my personal strength, when the simulated dark existence descends, I'm afraid this reflection will be unable to withstand it and will collapse. I'm sorry to make Mr. Bruntz laugh."

"well--"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Watching this scene, Stargazer sighed again.

"As my student, he has actually done very well. It's a pity...he met you."

"Isn't it what Your Excellency wanted to see that he was stopped by me?"

Avis calmly looked at the Stargazer who seemed to have a compassionate expression. In his mind, the threat posed by the Stargazer was actually much greater than that of the Gray Mist. Even though the Stargazer looked like he had been ambushed by the Gray Mist at this moment, he would not let down his guard.

Having said this, the two of them suddenly turned their heads slightly at the same time and looked in a certain direction.

At this moment, a white light like the morning glow suddenly appeared in the dark sky in the distance. It was the radiance of the holy power from more than one ninth-level priest gathered together.

Not surprisingly, the first to arrive amidst this huge momentum were the rulers of this land, the archbishops of the Holy Light Church. The leader of the group was the current Pope of the Holy Light Church, Saint Messiah III.

What was a little unexpected was that an extremely strong glow of holy power was surging from the Pope's body at this moment, even more powerful and dazzling than that of Yanil in his previous saint state.

"God says the darkness will be driven away."

Without any greetings, many priests took action directly. An extremely large holy white magic circle emerged in the night sky, blocking the huge crack in the sky.

Due to the cover of Avis's mirror world, the Pope and others who came did not notice the existence of Avis and others at the first time. However, on the contrary, the illusory round mirror in Avis's hand burst into a crack at the moment the Pope arrived.

"It is indeed an astonishing power. Is this the truth about the Holy Saint Plan that the Pope is hiding?"

Anvis was somewhat surprised at the power displayed by Saint Messiah III. Unlike Yanil who could only maintain the saintly form for a short time before, the Pope's condition was obviously more perfect.

It's not that he completely turned into a man of light, but his pupils simply turned into a blazing white color, and his skin took on a strange texture like light crystal.

Compared to Yanile's violent and dazzling aura like the midday sun, Saint Messiah III is like the rising sun, with a gentler and more restrained aura, but the sense of sacred and inviolable majesty is even greater.

If it weren't for the suppression of Univar's dream, Anvis had no doubt that the current Pope would be able to break through the legend at any time.
