Chapter 2192 – Superposition State
So it was said, but after I crawled out of this ruin, I was stunned again. Before my eyes was a room that looked a bit like a temple and a bit like a tomb. Although the walls and ceiling were slightly cracked, they did not seem to have collapsed severely.
“This, this is, an artificial building, right? How can there be such a place?” The female leader I had just rescued looked at this stone chamber in astonishment. This place looked like an artificial structure no matter how you looked at it.
The problem is, this is at the bottom of a mine. And from the looks of it, it’s not a stone chamber dug out by mining. The construction here is quite exquisite, with simple and ancient reliefs on the doors and walls. It’s impossible to build such an exquisite stone chamber by mining.
Moreover, the collapse just now was so severe, but when I got here, I felt like it hadn’t collapsed much, and the stone chamber was still quite intact. Looking back, the ruins I had just climbed out of had disappeared, replaced by a wall carved with reliefs.
I activated my God’s Eye to observe my surroundings and discovered that our position had fallen into the lower half of the meteorite, and a very strange spatial superposition state had occurred here.
I saw a huge ancient ruin, completely in the lower part of the meteorite, almost enclosing the lower half of the meteorite. Judging by the circular shape of this ruin, it was built around the meteorite.
But when my gaze swept past, I found that the surroundings were completely buried by collapsed giant stones, filled with dust everywhere. The man-made stone chamber was piled high with collapsed rubble and wood.
Just as I saw this scene of collapse, I suddenly felt difficulty breathing and my hands and feet were hard to move, as if I were fixed in concrete. When I nervously turned off my God’s Eye and saw only the stone chamber with my naked eyes, I felt my body loosen and regain the ability to move freely.
“Listen up, listen to me carefully now, and make sure to engrave it in your hearts. It’s a matter of life and death,” I said very sternly all of a sudden.
“Ah, yes, yes!” The Glutton believers responded immediately. Of course, they listened to me. Even the female leader, seeing me suddenly so serious, immediately stood up straight and listened attentively.
“Listen carefully, we have now fallen into an ancient ruin. This ancient ruin should be a temple built by ancient people around the meteorite. It is built very sturdily, so it blocked the collapse. We have now entered the ancient ruin, and we are not anywhere else, do you understand?” I emphasized.
The Glutton believers were still a bit bewildered. The female leader, who was somewhat familiar with such events, immediately understood my meaning: “Yes, I understand. We are inside the ancient ruin. No matter what we see, we are inside the ancient ruin.”
Before, when I was outside, I had used my God’s Eye to look at the bottom of the mine. At that time, I didn’t see any man-made buildings at all, let alone such a large underground ruin.
There is only one possibility: after we triggered something, it appeared. This ancient ruin and the surrounding space, that is, the mine shaft and the earth, are superimposed together, existing in a superposition state. It only presents itself based on the observer’s observation.
The female leader was very familiar with such things, namely cognitive change and memetic contamination. If all of us believe that this place is an ancient ruin, and what we observe is an ancient ruin, then this place is a relatively safe ancient ruin.
But if someone uses observational magic like I did to look at the surroundings and sees that the ruin “does not exist,” that they are actually underground, buried by collapsed stones, then they will truly be buried.
And this scene, we saw it not long after we walked forward. The corpse of a witch was floating in the corridor of the ruins. She had no contact with her surroundings at all, just suspended in mid-air like that.
Her limbs were twisted strangely, blood squeezed out from her body, but it seemed to be slowly seeping along something invisible, flowing to the ground, not dripping straight down.
She died with her eyes wide open. I walked up and looked at her eyes, which emitted a faint green light. The magic had not completely dissipated. This unlucky witch must have wanted to use her Demonic Eye to check for traps around her, but ended up getting herself stuck in the wall.
“Regrettable, there’s no saving her now.” I reached out and closed her eyes. If she hadn’t used Spirit Vision, she probably wouldn’t have died. Perhaps a normal person would have been safer here than her.
Walking a few more steps forward, this time it was a Glutton believer. He was even more bizarre, stuck in the wall of the ruins, his cause of death also being crushed to death. Even his fat was squeezed out.
This Glutton believer should have been the opposite of the witch just now. From his Spirit Vision, he saw a passable mine shaft. Perhaps he discovered the ruins here and then closed his Spirit Vision, only to be crushed to death by the suddenly appearing ruins wall.
This time, one of our own died, which made the other Glutton believers a bit sad. They even tried to rescue him, but unfortunately, we were a bit late. He was confirmed dead.
“Do not be sad. His Soul has merely gone to Our Lord’s Divine Realm, where he will enjoy endless delicacies. We only need to bless him,” said one Glutton believer, and everyone else immediately regained their morale.
This is the benefit of religious believers. In their eyes, death is not the end, but the beginning of bliss. Therefore, most believers are fearless.
Although I don’t believe at all that the Great Fly’s Divine Realm is a good place, and perhaps his Soul will be devoured by the Great Fly, in this environment, I said nothing and let them think what they wanted.
As we walked forward, I also paid attention to the murals on the ruins. Although they were simple and ancient, I could still discern some information.
The female leader also had some knowledge of this. She introduced the information to us. The murals were mostly about myths and legends. It was said that a seven-headed evil dragon plagued the world. Then, a deity radiating light appeared in the mural and fought a great battle with the evil dragon.
Finally, it seemed that both sides perished. The deity’s spirit transformed into five Archangels with light wings, while the evil dragon’s heads transformed into seven Demon Gods, and the two sides continued their endless war.
Then there were mortal believers who, with the help of the Archangels, established a Sanctuary, but the Demon Gods still invaded here.
Finally, there was a mural of an Archmage leading many people to fight against demons. In the end, the ground was littered with corpses. The Archmage sealed the demon in a piece of Crystal.
The demon in the picture was just a black mist, with a ferocious face that could barely be discerned. The Archmage was holding a broken Crystal, holding it to his chest, and sucking the demon into the Crystal.
I already understood that this was the Archmage’s grave. The Crystal in the picture should be what Karina was looking for.
