Chapter 59: The Nightmare of Infinite Loops

The entire camp was deathly silent; only the sound of the wind and rain outside seemed somewhat slick and reassuring.

This was already the third day since the entire Chivalrous Expedition Fleet had arrived in this region; in reality, from the very beginning, their progress had differed somewhat from what was in the dream.

For instance, they had not actually sailed freely into this region, but rather, because the storms of the Chaos Wasteland were far too terrifying, they were forced to camp in this area. Moreover, although an army had been forged aboard the ships, they were unable to even step out of this mountain pass.

Because the Chaos Storm was raging madly, and the Winds of Magic were overflowing everywhere. Even by the standards of a Gede Knight, the environment here was far too headache-inducing. They could only remain in this area.

And staying like this had lasted for three days. They established outposts and observation points, dragged their ships into the shallow bay, and then failed to send signals to the main fleet according to protocol.

The reason was simple: it was just like now, Gede Knight had fallen into a terrifying nightmare.

It was not just Gede Knight; everyone had fallen into this kind of desperate hallucination.

They would dream that they had become heroic and powerful knights, having finally reached this beachhead, only to discover they were surrounded by a group of green-gold knights. Those knights were even more powerful than the giants they had imagined, and more terrifying than the most fearsome monsters seen in their dreams.

They wielded lightning and possessed infinite rage toward heretics and traitors; when they drove their charge, even the earth itself trembled violently, as if afraid of their will.

After three days, no one had slept a single good night; in such a situation, let alone charging into battle, it was a miracle they hadn't gone to throw their lives away.

So Gede Knight decided to rest in place, but even until now, they had not achieved any good results.

No one knew why this was happening, and no one knew how to walk out of that nightmare. Everyone could only feel a terror, a completely indescribable terror, gripping their throats. Even at the very beginning, Gede Knight had dared to resist, but by now, the fear had seeped into their marrow.

"Why is this happening?"

"Do you need my help, my lord?"

The Mage Attendant, who was lighting candles and filling the room with blue light, turned his head and looked at the panting Gede Knight with a smile.

And looking at that blue figure, Gede Knight instinctively felt increasingly irritable.

This massive knight clawed bloody marks into his own body and growled: "If it weren't to figure out everything happening here, someone who speaks like you would have already been killed by me. Now tell me everything you know! Quickly!"

"……This should be the influence of the Chaos Magic Wind, my lord."

Not minding Gede Knight's threat, the Mage Attendant sat on a chair and smiled with refined manners.

"Whether it is the current blockade zone, the beach we see, the surrounding environment, or even everything nearby, and even our future, all are influenced by the Chaos Magic Wind."

"Chaos Magic Wind?"

"Yes."

Possessing a hooked nose like a falcon, the navigator and Mage Attendant whom Gede Knight trusted deeply put down the pale blue crystal in his hand and said very respectfully.

"Although we are on the edge of this World Scar, we are still interfered with by the Chaos Wind. If not for this natural barrier, I fear the incoming Chaos Wind would quickly turn us into mindless Chaos Spawn." "This is also why we have never been able to attack the Chaos Wasteland. Because this power is far too ever-changing, making it impossible for people to understand or attempt to analyze. Everything here is so brilliant and changing, which is why everything happens."

"If we were inside the World Scar, the things within would have already been stabilized by a single will. So it looks very stable, but it is different in this edge region."

"Everything here is changing, and it is even very likely, like now, to send fragments of certain future events into our brains."

The Mage Attendant's voice was very soft, carrying a bewitching magic.

Although no power was displayed, looking at this person speaking, people would inexplicably believe his words; this was the power of knowledge and Magic.

And carrying such trust, the Mage Attendant's eyes, reflected by the pale blue candlelight, seemed to become even brighter. Looking at the massive knight before him, he issued a series of gentle, completely understandable sounds very sincerely.

"Under the power of the Chaos Magic Wind, our dreams are often silhouettes of the future."

"We may fail again and again in the future world; this pain and torment turn into warning signals within this Magic wind, branding that painful scene into our brains."

"It is better to go back, my lord. Waging war here is not a good choice. Our Souls have already warned us countless times; we should return to where we are going. Meeting up with Lord Joshua and then launching a proper attack on this place is the best choice."

"In the name of wisdom, I am not lying, my lord."

The Mage Attendant's eyes were blue, his voice soft and carrying a hint of something like loyalty.

However, Gede Knight, who was already irritable and angry, felt a sense of relief instead when he heard about meeting up with Joshua, and he sat up from the bed.

Then, without hesitation, he punched the Mage Attendant in the face.

That heavy punch was like a cannon blast, instantly turning the head of the previously respectful mage into an exploding, bloody water balloon. The headless body immediately collapsed to the ground, twitching with instinctive nerve reflexes. And the blood-stained Gede Knight spat disdainfully at the fallen corpse.

"Cowardly behavior... a cowardly act! To actually think of begging those wretches for mercy because of something like this! This behavior is the behavior of a coward! You will never be able to convince me! Despicable mage!"

Looking at the blood on the floor, Gede Knight felt a sense of calm from his Soul.

Yes, this was what they wanted.

Meanwhile, in the Observatory, Li Ang subconsciously raised his head.

'The slander of the God of Wisdom has been seen through! The followers of the God of War will proceed according to the original plan!'

"……?"

What is all this?? The God of Change told the truth and intended to make people bypass my trap, and then the God of War said he wouldn't listen? Looking at the results recorded, Li Ang scratched his scalp, feeling somewhat puzzled, and sensed that things seemed to be getting a bit unusual.
