Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1206: Reality Distortion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Those were all things from the past.

They had been sealed in bloodstained archives long ago.

Previously, Meng Chao had never connected the legends of the Ancient Dream Saintess and the big-headed monster babies.

It was not until now when he saw the Ancient Dream Saintess’ unusual appearance that his heart stirred.

If there really was a myriad of connections between the humans of Earth and the advanced orcs…

For example, them being the offspring of both the Ancients and mother, or a biochemical weapon that was created using the genes and technology of both…

Then, among the advanced orcs, there would also be a large-headed baby monster with mysterious powers. Moreover, it would not be surprising for it to survive the puberty period by relying on its unparalleled physical qualities.

Meng Chao just could not figure it out. “In that case, this is the true face of the Ancient Dream Saintess. However, why has no one noticed her appearance? Even when I saw her in the wounded soldiers’ camp, she did not seem like this, but a pretty girl next door.”

“Well…”

Ice Storm pondered for a moment and said, “I told you before that my mother was a witch. You should know that witches and wizards are the same. They try to make strange potions through various experiments to activate the power hidden within the human body and the earth. It’s so that puny humans can steal and use the power of the Holy Light without having to worship and obey the illusory Holy Light.

“It’s a pity that it’s a hundred times more difficult to escape and penetrate the omnipresent Holy Light than pierce through the sky above us and rush to the place where the stars intersect and shine.

“Over the past thousands of years, countless witches and wizards have taken risks and figured out several thousand unorthodox and even insane methods.

“Most of their methods can’t bypass the restrictions of the Holy Light at all. They will only burn the lives of witches, wizards, and experimental subjects in an instant, turning everything in the range of the magic fire into the most delicate ashes.

“If the formula is successful by a fluke, it will allow the witches and warriors to copy and steal the Holy Light’s high-level authority to extract and activate its magic. Even then, it will often make the caster pay a great price.

“The most common side effect is that during the process of concocting and using the mysterious formula, the caster will be exposed to too many toxic and corrosive potions, resulting in deformed limbs and faces. They won’t resemble humans or ghosts.

“They’ll look like they just crawled out of an acid pool, and it’ll be absolutely impossible to swagger into a human town under the Holy Light. In order to accumulate Holy Light points, or at least not deduct Holy Light points, even if the townspeople are afraid of the witches and wizards’ retaliation, all them will still rush to snitch on them.

“As soon as the witches and wizards enter the town, the night watchers, mages, Holy Light priests, bounty hunters, and glorious arbiters will surround the whole town.

“So, it’s ridiculous to say that the most important course to become an excellent witch or wizard is not to steal the power of Holy Light and transform it into various sorcery, but to make-up techniques that are ingenious and fake.

“Almost all witches and warriors—of course, those who have lived for more than five years, starting by stealing the power of the Holy Light—are masters at disguising themselves.

“When you uncover the layers of baggage on their bodies, you will see clamps, tweezers, brushes, oil parchment paper as thin as cicada’s wings, dozens of colorful powders and ointments, and mysterious pills for shapeshifting.

“With these things, even bald, muscular men with fierce faces on the wanted posters can disguise themselves as graceful young girls and walk past the night watchers and bounty hunters gracefully.

“However, Mother told me that their makeup techniques using drugs and tools are far from the highest level.

“No matter how delicate the props are, they will always leave traces behind, and they can’t stand the test of the burning of holy fire.

“No matter how delicate the powder and ointment are, they will still give off a faint aura.

“Experienced night watchers and bounty hunters often keep special breeds of hunting dogs. These dogs can smell them from a few streets away and bark crazily.

“Many witches and wizards who look perfect at first glance are exposed because of this. They are thrown into the holy fire, and they ‘dance’ in a frenzy until they die.

“The most brilliant witches and wizards don’t even bother to apply a fake beard or eyelashes on their faces. They won’t even use makeup to cover a pimple mark. No matter how hideous they look or how terrifying they’ve become thanks to decades of taboo experiments, they arrogantly step into magnificent and impregnable towns. They even calmly step into the temple, talk and laugh with the priests of Holy Light, only to leave in one piece!”

Meng Chao listened attentively.

As the Ghost Assassin of Dragon City in his previous life, he had to disguise and conceal himself as he infiltrated the Holy Light camp to carry out various missions.

Based on his vague memory, he had been discovered by the Holy Light faction’s beasts several times in his previous life. They possessed a keen sense of smell. Other times, he had nowhere to hide under the holy fire’s illumination and had no choice but to escape in a sorry state.

Ghost Assassins often formed teams of two or even three people, which usually included snipers whose eyes had evolved or had been implanted with microchips. They would also carry anti-magic bullets crafted from crystals and protect him from the highest vantage point.

If it had not been for them, he would have had to hand his life over to the night watchers and priests of the Holy Light several times.

He needed to admit that the Holy Light faction did indeed have a wealth of combat experience and technological accumulation in the detection of all kinds of monsters as well as demons.

Even the nano-scale bionic human skin masks that the Dragon City civilization had carefully made with Earth’s technology might not be able to hide them from the night watchers. Their sense of smell was sharper than that of hunting dogs. On top of that, the Holy Light priests’ eyes were like X-ray machines.

There was actually a small group of top witches and wizards who could swagger into the town shrouded in Holy Light without any disguise. Even those old dogs could not see it?

How did they do it?

“Hypnosis.”

Ice Storm knew that time was of the essence, so she was not in the mood to keep him in suspense and went straight to the point. “Mother told me that the witches and wizards who steal top-notch Holy Light power often have incredible spirit strength. They don’t need any spells, gestures, potions, props, and runes to help them. They just need to look at people casually. No, perhaps they don’t even need to make eye contact. They can naturally manipulate the minds of others, and then affect the mouth, nose, ears, and ears of others, so that others can see, hear, smell, and touch things that don’t exist.

“It’s okay even if these witches and wizards are ugly and deformed monsters that can’t even take human form.

“As long as they first come up with a holy, mighty, beautiful, charming, or ordinary image deep within their souls and spread this image into everyone’s brains on sight, then the image that appears before everyone will be what they imagined.

“Such powerful spirit power is not something that can be grouped with the technique of ‘hypnosis,’ but rather… it’s some kind of ‘reality distortion’ magic power!”

Meng Chao was shocked.

Ice Storm was saying that the Ancient Dream Saintess was like a top witch and wizard.

As long as she wanted to, she could make everyone around her “see” her in various ways.

Whether she was the pretty girl next door or the rebel army leader who was invincible and decisive in killing, or even the crazy fraud who was possessed by the ancestral spirit, her seamless change would definitely not arouse anyone’s suspicion.

At first glance, it sounded amazing and unbelievable.

Thinking about it carefully, Meng Chao felt that there was at least a theoretical possibility.

There was an old saying, “Hearing is false, seeing is believing.”

However, the saying had been completely overturned in the early 21st century on Earth.

At that time, the people of Earth had already mastered the perfect methods to deceive the eyes with all kinds of sound, photoelectric effects, and even digital technology.

In the end, whether it was sight, sound, smell, touch, or pain, they were all different stimulations of the brain cells via biological electricity, as well as different feedback from the central nervous system.

As long as they could hijack the brain nerves and brain cells, there was no visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, and pain that could not be simulated.

When all the so-called “five senses” could be perfectly simulated, would there still be a clear and absolute distinction between “real” and “false”?

That was also the principle of “virtual reality” and a “mental attack.”

However, in the real world, instead of changing everything around them, they had to invade the brains of everyone in their field of vision and hijack their visual nerves, cone cells, as well as the brain blocks that were responsible for processing image signals. They had to implant special imaging data, but they could not leave any traces or arouse anyone’s suspicion.

It was indeed more difficult than creating an illusion out of thin air.

As the saying went, “It’s easier to draw a ghost than a person.”

An illusion created out of thin air, such as Peach Blossom Town, was a completely foreign world to the hypnotized.

As long as the problem of “how to get here” was solved, there would not be too many flaws in the details.

Conversely, in the real world, one had to “cut out” an image and replace it with a brand new look, and it had to be flawless. Even though Meng Chao was a spirit expert, he had not noticed it during his limited contact with the Ancient Dream Saintess

With the Ancient Dream Saintess’ ability, was it possible for her to reach the level of a top witch and wizard?

Meng Chao lowered his eyelids and trembled slightly.

It was possible.

Meng Chao did not believe his own speculation.

Instead, he believed in his vision of Kanus, the Jackal.

To be chosen by the future Doomsday Wolf and become a stepping stone for a miracle, the Ancient Dream Saintess was, of course, an invaluable gem.

Moreover, like all big-headed monster babies, she did not need to have all the abilities of a high-level witch and warrior.

She only needed to have extraordinary potential in the fields of “reality distortion” and “telepathy.”

Other problems could naturally be solved through “Jackal” Kanus’ remote command..
