Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2758: 1513: The Lord's Persistence (2)

Yet, as Leo Ray's power diminished, the taunts echoing from the top of the towering structure grew ever more audacious.

“What a joke. Nowadays, anything thinks they can shake our position.”

“Heh, if you dare to come, we’ll show you what true Peak Powers are!”

“The Human Clan? What’s the difference with ants? Attempting to climb the high tower? Better weigh your own abilities first! What a laugh!”

“In the end, what can ants do? You’re nothing, you can do nothing!”

…

“I…”

This barrage of voices struck like relentless heavy blows, twisting Leo Ray’s already muddled mind into further knots, nearly causing him to black out.

Leo Ray had no idea of his location or actions, merely sensing an overwhelming, endless cold enveloping him.

Just as Leo Ray teetered on the edge of abandoning all thought and fully surrendering to the void, a frantic and concerned crisp voice abruptly pierced his ears.

“Lord, hold on, you must not be corroded by the Nihility Illusion! Everyone is waiting for Lord’s return, we can’t be without Lord! Observation City can’t be without Lord’s support either!”

In an instant, this unexpected sound acted like a soothing beam of light, clearing up Leo Ray’s rigid thoughts considerably.

“Is this Sheila’s voice?”

Leo Ray’s eyes snapped open wide, his fists clenching with a sharp crack.

Indeed, he carried the hopes of all and the fate of Observation City on his shoulders—how could he let mere scorn and derision break him here?

With that realization, Leo Ray gazed at those haughty silhouettes perched arrogantly on the lofty tower and stated coolly, “What’s wrong with the Human Clan? Long ago, the Human Clan dominated at the summit among the Ten Thousand Clans; the glory that was once ours, I will seize it back with my own hands.”

“As for you all, confronting the looming Great Catastrophe, you’ve pushed your hubris and apathy to absurd heights.”

“Self-preservation? Yet how can eggs remain whole beneath a toppled nest? Against the ravages of ‘the Corrosion’, it’s you who amount to nothing, who achieve zilch.”

“And what you cannot achieve, the feats you fail to pull off, I will bring to fruition. One day, I’ll demonstrate to you through deeds that your pride is the most futile thing imaginable!”

Upon Leo Ray’s words concluding, the encircling structures crumbled in a sudden rush, those smug figures vanishing into thin air, as all dissolved back into vast, profound obscurity.

“I never imagined the Nihility Illusion could be so horrifying; I nearly succumbed right there.”

Leo Ray exhaled deeply and turned back to the Stone Spirit at his side, offering a grin, “Sheila, thanks for that earlier…”

Yet before Leo Ray could complete his sentence, his smile froze solid.

What loomed before him was no longer the comforting Stone Spirit, but shards of fractured Divine Stone!

Sensing the eerie quiet and icy aura emanating from those Divine Stone remnants, Leo Ray found himself frozen in shock once more, scarcely able to trust what he saw.

Before he could process it, a flurry of notification sounds erupted in his ears.

[Attention: The current Observation City defense rate has dropped to 20%!]

[Attention: Observation City’s Central Temple has been completely breached by ‘the Corrosion’!]

[Attention: Lord Leo Ray, you have failed to defend, you will be trapped here forever!]

[Attention: Lord Leo Ray, you really disappoint this God, but no matter, we can always get another Lord.]

[Attention: Useless Lord Leo Ray, don’t think your Talent is unique, do you? Do you?]

[Attention: Ignorant Lord Leo Ray, let me tell you, there are countless Lord’s Talents stronger than you, you’re just one of this God’s countless pawns, thinking you’re the savior? Thinking you’re the child of destiny?]

[Attention: Worthless Lord Leo Ray, let me tell you, you’re just a discarded pawn of this God! A discarded pawn, just a discarded pawn! This God is the all-powerful existence!]

“It seems I haven’t broken free from the illusion yet; this round, it’s mimicking the notification voices?”

After the first wave of alarm, the composed Leo Ray swiftly pieced it together.

From his familiarity with the notifications, he knew their true source would never use such phrasing, nor call itself this God.

To be precise, while the notifications did stem from a Deity, its act of summoning Otherworldly Lords like him indicated it wasn’t truly omnipotent, though the cause remained a mystery.

“Regarding my Talent—whether it’s one-of-a-kind or merely worthless.”

“Ever since arriving here, I’ve resolved to uncover the purpose of my arrival; that’s my unyielding will, the mission I must fulfill, and I couldn’t care less about the rest, so these barbs leave me untouched.”

With those words spoken, silence descended once again.

The very next instant, the enveloping infinite darkness fractured apart, and a fierce gale began howling around him.

As his sight cleared, Leo Ray realized.

He remained in the boundless void, with Sheila gripping his wrist firmly.

“Lord, wake up quickly! If you don’t channel your own power to fend off the void astral wind, all our efforts will be wasted!”

Sheila’s urgent plea resounded in Leo Ray’s mind.

Only then did Leo Ray truly register that a tremendous force was pulling at him; without Sheila’s hold, he’d have been swept into the Void Space’s abyss ages ago.

At the same time, Moli continued meditating before the Space Magic Array, yet due to her and Sheila halting their energy flow, the array had dulled completely, and Moli’s refined features had paled dramatically.

“Got it!”

Leo Ray steadied his thoughts, downing several Charging Potions in quick succession, then unleashed the rushing vitality from his core, amplified by the Power of Divine Grace, which immediately revitalized the fading Energy Barrier encircling him.

With the Energy Barrier now firmer and more robust, the void astral wind’s assault weakened sharply, anchoring Leo Ray’s form steadily.

“Human Clan boy, you’ve finally snapped out of it!”

Moli’s weak tone transmitted via the mana link, pressing urgently into Leo Ray’s ear, “Hurry, resume powering the magic array! I was on the verge of committing fully, reaching the pivotal juncture!”

As Moli urged, Leo Ray reacted without delay, channeling his potent mana anew through his hand into the Energy-Supplying Array ahead.

And with reassurance from Leo Ray, Sheila promptly resumed her focus, pressing both palms to the Energy-Supplying Array. Bolstered by Leo Ray and Sheila, the faded formation blazed back to life.

“Sorry, I lost focus earlier.”

Leo Ray gave Sheila a nod, then addressed Moli via Magic Communication.

“No apologies needed; truth be told, you’ve done remarkably well. While ensnared in the Nihility Illusion, you also faced that uncommon void astral wind, which can amplify the hallucination manifold.”

Moli arched a delicate brow, replying softly.

Moli recalled vividly that her own initial plunge into Void Space’s depths had trapped her in the Nihility Illusion for much longer than Leo Ray’s ordeal, let alone with the added void astral wind.

Thus, Leo Ray’s rapid emergence truly surpassed what this young woman had anticipated.

“I must admit, this Human Clan boy possesses real prowess.”

Moli mused inwardly, her efforts unwavering, as beads of sweat soon dotted her fair brow, signaling her immersion in the intense search stage.

It wasn’t long before her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she exclaimed to Leo Ray joyfully, “Human Clan boy, you’re in luck—I believe I’ve located a space pathway connecting to Observation City!”
