Chapter 172

As the wielder of the Omniscient Eye, Negri obtained this spider body, which represented the fear of those fantasies.

In the eyes of the weak, the spiders were the germ monsters from the outside world, in the eyes of the powerless, the spiders were the oppressors of the base, and in the eyes of the powerless, the spiders represented power.

They were powerless to resist these people, so they could only form the thoughts of these insects, and this absurd illusion was created from the thoughts of these insects. Because of this, everyone else appeared as weak and powerless insects, only their irresistible power was condensed into a spider.

Fang Ze and the others' thoughts were exactly like this, as long as they changed their thoughts, a loophole would appear in this insect's illusion world, allowing them to regain their previous feeling and break through this absurd illusion.

They did partially succeed, but as soon as Negri appeared, they became completely powerless. Under the fear of Negri, they chose to continue being insects.

"You were constructing a beautiful dream for them, telling them to work hard, to trust others, to work hard to improve themselves, to learn to resist, but all of this would only cause them to sink deeper into despair" In his [True Sight], these people were lying in the grass, frowning as if they were having some sort of nightmare.

Negri didn't act, he could feel that if he really did, another force would immediately come to interrupt him, which would instead be disadvantageous to his own backup plan.

The main purpose of this illusion was to test things out. If Negri's guess wasn't wrong, he would soon be able to lift the veil of the Protagonist's Brilliance. Only by confirming this guess would he have a chance to truly resist fate.

"You told the oppressed to let go of their fear and seize the opportunity to resist, only then would they be able to truly gain freedom" Negri continued: "But you only told them to resist, but didn't tell them how to resist"

"People without strength who try to resist power will only be completely defeated, they won't even have any value in being toyed with" As Negri spoke, he waved his hand to display an image, which was the image of the bald teenager.

He seemed to have been influenced by the advice of Fang Ze and the others in the illusion. When he was bullied again, he fiercely resisted, only to have his neck broken by someone wearing Biomass Gear and thrown outside the base. Soon, he was picked up by those who were tired of eating grass.

"You tell the weak to be brave, to not rely on his wife to sell her body to live, but you ignore that his entire life's worth of learning is how to teach students and how to impart knowledge. He doesn't have the ability to survive in the apocalypse, the price of his bravery is being killed by monsters when he goes out to search for resources, and the woman who gave him her body to keep him alive also doesn't have the courage to continue living"

Another image appeared next to Negri. It was the image of a well-mannered man with glasses. He ignored his wife, who was covered in wounds, and followed the search team out. Then, he was accidentally killed by a monster disguised as a book. After his wife heard the news, she completely lost the courage to live and chose to commit suicide.

"You told the old man to trust others, that there are still good people in this world, and that he should seek help. There will definitely be people who are willing to help him, but you forgot that there are more people with evil intentions in this world."

The image of the old man appeared again. He was tricked into an alleyway and turned into a pot of old bone soup.

"You told the woman that you would defeat me and restore peace to the world. She then spread this news everywhere, calling for everyone to live in peace and share resources. She was then treated as a lunatic and expelled from the base"

In the image, the woman was walking on a deserted street, muttering to herself, "He promised me, he promised me," before being killed by a certain germ creature.

"There are some things that you believe to be the truth. If you're bullied, then you should resist; if you're looked down upon, then you should bravely fight back. But for some people, these are nothing but lies. You ignored their limitations and made them change their way of thinking. You gave them a beautiful dream, but this beautiful dream is built on the lies they've been told"

"For them, if they don't work hard, they won't know despair. Aside from the current situation in front of them, there's also the future that lies ahead" Negri walked towards them step by step, his words piercing them like sharp blades.

"Perhaps what we did was a mistake, and we neglected a few things, but the biggest mistake was you" Fang Ze looked at the images and spoke with a serious expression: "Wasn't it you who caused all of this? Looking at these images, Fang Ze spoke with a serious expression, "Aren't you the one who caused all of this? Those people might be cowardly and incompetent, they might have fallen into a predicament for a while, but they never gave up on their lives, they all worked hard to survive. They might be insects for a while, but humans can't always be insects. They all have the same thought, that is to defeat this apocalypse and restore the world to its original state, this is their common wish!"

"You've miscalculated, Wang Yuan! Humans can grow!! " Fang Ze roared in anger as he charged towards Negri in his insect form, his body glowing: "Your only mistake was underestimating us too much, and underestimating humans too much"

Negri suddenly noticed that the Omniscient Eye had lost control over this illusion. In other words, he had lost control over this illusion. On the contrary, the interference force that created this illusion was being drawn towards Fang Ze, becoming part of his radiance.

At this moment, with the help of the soul power connection, Fang Ze's connection with those people was unprecedentedly clear. A large amount of soul power from the Omniscient Eye floating in the air was drawn out and rushed towards Fang Ze. The light formed a vague crown above his head, and the surrounding illusion collapsed and shattered.

"Die for me!" Fang Ze's fist erupted with both Disasforce and radiance, striking Negri's body. The Disasforce destroyed Negri's soul, while the radiance also destroyed the soul inside his body.

Everything gradually dimmed, even the weeds that were being stimulated by his ability quickly withered. Fang Ze pulled his fist back, his heart filled with joy.

Back in the illusion, when he was able to sense the people behind every thought through the collisions, he had already conceived this technique. His [Origin] ability was borrowing the power of others.

By borrowing the power of the illusion, by defeating Negri's emotions, he resonated with those people, gained their recognition, and borrowed the power of their souls. This gave him the ability to damage souls. The most troublesome aspect of Negri wasn't his strength, but rather the fact that his soul could be transferred at will.

And with the ability to damage souls, Fang Ze took this opportunity to launch an explosive attack.
