Chapter 6 Priscilla Nissen

Tyler looked at the Universal Stone in his hand, wondering how to use it. Swallow it? Then the glass bead seemed to evaporate and disappear on its own, and at the same time, Tyler saw the energy points of the Divine Eye of Transcendence increase by 1 point.

(So that's how it works.)

Both the Divine Eye of Transcendence and the Universal Stone provided Tyler with a "natural feeling" when using these abilities or items, as if he was using his own body. It was like breathing, walking, and thinking - there was no need to think about how to control muscles or nerves; as long as there was consciousness, the body could naturally do it.

Following this train of thought, Tyler began to think about the concept of "obtaining an image of one's own death scene and generating a photo" in his head. Then, at that moment, Tyler heard an unusual voice inside his head.

(???: Sigh... That was a long sleep~)

(???: I've been waiting for you to use your abiloty, Tyler, my friend-o!)

Who is sending their voice directly into my head? Thinking this, Tyler immediately became alert and scanned his surroundings, but the voice in his head seemed even more amused.

(???: Pfft! Your reaction is hilarious! Oh my, I'm dying of laughter! Hahaha!)

(???: Ha... ha... Don't worry, Tyler. There are no enemies around~ The one talking to you is none other than the great-o me, the "Divine Eye of Transcendence - Priscilla Nissen". Remember this name well, engrave it in your heart-o!)

It wasn't until the other party claimed to be the "Divine Eye of Transcendence" that Tyler realized the unusual voice came from within himself, and moreover...

(Tyler: Can you hear my inner thoughts?)

(Divine Eye of Transcendence: Yep, and you're quite perceptive to catch on so quickly. You really are a good student-o!)

There was no need for Tyler to speak out loud; he could communicate with the Divine Eye of Transcendence,, just by thinking in his head. However, this was a significant problem for Tyler because it meant that he had no secrets from her.

The situation was sudden and serious, and even Tyler's freedom to think was restricted. Left with no choice, he decided to take a risk.

(Tyler: One, two, three... four, five, six...)

(Divine Eye of Transcendence: Hm? What are you counting for all of a sudden-o?)

(Tyler: Nothing, just practicing talking to you.)

However, Tyler was not telling the truth.

Tyler wasn't just counting in his mind; he was also reciting "Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo" during the pauses between numbers. Judging from her reaction, Tyler concluded that she only heard the numbers and not the other content.

This meant that Tyler's risky "experiment" had succeeded.

The principle behind this was that, in the past few seconds, Tyler consciously added his subjective will to some of his mental activities, which he didn't want her to hear. Then, while counting, he remained completely relaxed and unrestricted. Unexpectedly, the final result achieved the desired effect of blocking the perception of the Divine Eye of Transcendence.

(Priscilla Nissen is so clever (so dumb), super-duper clever (extremely dumb)...), Tyler continued to test in his mind, while the Divine Eye of Transcendence still showed no reaction. This made Tyler feel a bit more at ease.

(Tyler: So... you are the Divine Eye of Transcendence?)

(Divine Eye of Transcendence: Hehehehe, that's right-o! I'll be watching over you from now on~!)

(Tyler: So that means you and the deity who sent me to this parallel world are not the same entity, right?)

(Divine Eye of Transcendence: Hm? Of course not, I am just me! Pffffhh~)

The Divine Eye of Transcendence was completely unaware of the traps hidden in Tyler's seemingly innocent question. Thanks to her straightforward answer, Tyler had cleared up many doubts. He could now confirm that there must be more than one entity on the same level as the humanoid glowing body, and the "anomaly" that occurred in the gray space might have been prearranged. As a result, Tyler became even more cautious about the eye with a consciousness that came from the humanoid glowing body.

However, suspicions aside, at this stage, anyone with value could serve as a temporary ally for Tyler, even if they were an enemy, he would use them to his advantage.

(Tyler: Lady Priscilla Nissen, are you here to help me complete my "mission"?)

(Divine Eye of Transcendence: Yes, yes! Oh right-o, just call me Lady Nissen, that's a privileg-o I'm giving you~)

(Tyler: Thank you, Lady Nissen, I'll be counting on you from now on... Now, I'm going to use my ability to foresee my death scene.)

(Lady Nissen: Hehehe! It's different-o when you start-o with the "Universal Stone"! Hurry up-o! This is an "Impossible Level" difficulty parallel world-o!)

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm After a series of conversations, Tyler felt that the loli voice, which was difficult to understand, was about to drive him crazy. He couldn't guess why the Divine Eye of Transcendence's will would use such a sweet little girl's voice, so he could only collect clues and analyze it later.

Now, Tyler was concentrating on trying to use the "foreseeing his own death scene" ability, which meant he had no defenses against Priscilla Nissen. Tyler thought that since the humanoid glowing body had gone through so much trouble to put the Divine Eye of Transcendence into his body (this was speculation), their interests should be temporarily aligned. If the humanoid glowing body wanted to kill him, it could have done so in the gray space, and besides, he was already a person who had died suddenly... So, maintaining necessary caution and suspicion would be enough.

However, Tyler's speculation was only partially correct and not entirely accurate - for example, when he discovered that he could shield his thoughts from the Divine Eye of Transcendence, he didn't consider the mirror question: If he could do it, could the Divine Eye of Transcendence do it too?

The answer was yes.

During Tyler's "foreseeing his own death scene," the Divine Eye of Transcendence, Priscilla Nissen, was observing Tyler's soul with an indifferent attitude, and he was unaware of her thoughts and intentions. Since entering Tyler's body, Priscilla Nissen had been awake, and her statement about "having slept for a long time" was a lie.

In addition to this, even before Tyler had the chance to choose the difficulty level, Priscilla Nissen had surreptitiously tampered with the process—she altered the visual display Tyler saw, causing him to inadvertently select "Difficulty Three: Impossible" instead of his intended "Difficulty One: Trial Level". Consequently, Tyler experienced an unnatural pain in his right eye at that moment. As a member of the "Seven" entrusted with a mission, Priscilla Nissen aimed to maximize the interests of the Benevolent Deity faction, continuing to interfere with Tyler's actions... if necessary, she would even take Tyler's life personally.

(Tyler: Lady Nissen, I saw the vision of my own death.)

At that moment, Tyler's voice resonated within the mental space, prompting Priscilla Nissen to immediately return to her role-playing persona.

(Lady Nissen: Truly remarkable, a youth worthy of praise and guidance! How long do you have left-o? You should be able to see the time on the display, right-o?)

(Tyler: Yes, I can see it. There are 779 remaining.)

(Lady Nissen: 779...days? Let me do the math... 365 days in a year... 779 days... Isn't that more than two years? That's quite a generous amount-o of time! Hahahahaha, so this legendary "Difficulty: Impossible" is actually not so formidooble after all!)

(Tyler: Lady Nissen, it's now down to 775.)

(Lady Nissen: What-o?!)
