Arceus left the group beforehand and couldn't possibly have appeared out of thin air in the illusion.

The three of them, Yu Cheng, were also in different spaces due to the illusion's separation and were unable to help.

There's no way they could be here.

At the critical moment, Jiang Ran dodged the attack, but Yang Kaixu's movements were not slowed down at all, and he immediately followed up with the next attack!

"How much mental energy do you have left to squander, Jiang Ran?"

"Guess!"

Jiang Ran made a grabbing motion with his right hand, and another "Yang Kaixu" joined the battle!

This is a miracle from the Judgment!

"What's the point of creating a peaceful world? Why not become a god and be king! Rule the whole world! Then you can have whatever you want!"

Yang Kaixu laughed heartily.

Without a doubt, this is the evil Yang Kaixu!

"You think you can get away with a fake? How naive!"

"You actually dare to waste your precious mental energy on other [miracles]!"

Despite his sharp tongue, Yang Kaixu frowned.

Why, why does Jiang Ran still have the mental strength to use such a copying ability?

I will replace you!

The fierce-looking Yang Kaixu took a long spear out of thin air and thrust it forward with lightning speed!

The little snakes that split off from the ground were not very intelligent to begin with. In their eyes, Yang Kaixu was omnipotent, so no matter which "Yang Kaixu" it was, he should be omnipotent!

Even the wicked Yang Kaixu can borrow the power of faith from these little snakes!

After exchanging blows twice, Yang Kaixu discovered that this imposter's strength was almost identical to his own, and that's when the problem arose!

With Jiang Ran's remaining mental energy, how could he possibly replicate Yang Kaixu with the exact same strength?!

"No! His mental energy hasn't been depleted at all!"

Did he prematurely sever the mental connection? No, he must have used some other method!

That's right. The paradox between Yang Kaixu and Aisha is constantly devouring the spiritual power in the connection. Anyway, no matter how much they devour, the final result is the same. So why not let Jiang Ran lend them a hand!

When the two reached a paradox, Jiang Ran used the last chance of the [Creator] to create an item to store spiritual power!

Under normal circumstances, if you want to create an item that restores mental energy, you will have to consume the same amount of energy to create it, and you may even have to spend more.

Furthermore, due to the limitations imposed by the paradox, such things cannot appear in large quantities in reality, otherwise it would be considered infinite spiritual power.

Creating something like this temporarily is practically useless. To give you an example, it's like spending 50% of your mana to create an item that restores 50% of your mana.

In short, nothing happened.

But in this case, things are different!

The sudden depletion of mental energy during the connection was not caused by the paradox of Yang Kaixu and Aisha, but rather by Jiang Ran directly using this mental energy to create a mental recovery item!

Since it's going to be used up anyway, might as well use it to do something more meaningful!

After his mental energy was almost completely drained, Jiang Ran disconnected from the connection and then used the mental energy recovery item to return all the mental energy that had been extracted from the connection to himself!

The evil-faced Yang Kaixu possesses almost the same combat power as Yang Kaixu, while Jiang Ran is using the [Wheel of Destiny] to steer the battle in the direction he desires.

Gwen and Alice were also assisting from the side. Regardless of whether their attacks were effective or not, at the very least they could deplete Yang Kaixu's mental energy!

In this way, given enough time, Yang Kaixu will inevitably be defeated!

"It seems that taking on many opponents by yourself is still quite difficult for you."

A small snake crawled up Yang Kaixu's neck and onto his body, hissing in his ear.

"I don't think you came out just to gossip."

"hiss--"

The little snake turned its head and stared at Rusger with its cold, sinister eyes.

"Where my eyes are, I am there."

"This is a miracle from the Nightmare!"

Rusger turned his head and met the snake's eyes!

Then, Jiang Ran smiled slightly.

"Director, I've been waiting for you!"

This is a miracle from the Hanged Man!

Rusger is currently protected by "Justice," so he can ignore special effects, but the director still chooses him as the target!

This means that the director's next move will effectively break through the protective effect provided by the "miracle"!

Yang Kaixu must have used [Faith] to create a similar protection for himself, preventing other [miracles] from effectively affecting him.

But... the trial actually took effect!

That means there are other miracles that can also work!

Beyond appearances, it acts directly on the depths of the soul—a miracle!

The ability the director will use next will inevitably have this effect!

His idea was simple: as long as he could deal with Rusger and eliminate "Justice" first, he could directly exert control over most people, including the villain Yang Kaixu!

Jiang Ran couldn't directly use the Hanged Man to switch Rusgerer and Yang Kaixu's positions because the Hanged Man couldn't ignore Faith.

But he can twist the outcome in another way.

For example, change the focus of the director's abilities!

And so, the nightmare descends!

Yang Kaixu's vision went black, and the next second, he found himself in a city shrouded in night.

Where is this place?

He fell for it? The director's trick?

This is truly a dramatic scene...

Is it some kind of illusion? Well, it's not too bad; at least Yang Kaixu wasn't seriously injured.

But since it's an illusion-like effect, why didn't the director remove it?

"Captain! Run!"

Upon hearing this voice, Yang Kaixu's gaze sharpened.

He turned his head in astonishment and saw a familiar scene!

This was his last battle as a police officer, a battle to wipe out a criminal gang!

Actually, they were surrounded and attacked by the other side...

"Team......"

Even knowing it was a fake, Yang Kaixu couldn't truly remain calm when his teammate fell to the ground beside him!

He stared at the criminals in the distance, his face hardened, wanting to use his faith to kill them all!

But nothing happened.

Yes, here, there's no one around him who trusts him anymore.

Bang!

The sharp pain from being shot in the thigh reminded Yang Kaixu that if he died in this illusion, he would probably die in reality as well!

A black nightmare enveloped his body.

"Director...you never really wanted to work with me!"

"It turns out there was no such thing as cooperation or partnership at all."

"I've always been a loner..."
