Chapter 532: Inside the Prism
Noshier dared not say how high his wisdom was, but with the increase of the Domination Crown, his normal intelligence attribute was enough to maintain a full 16 points. This level of intelligence could even be used as a mage. If he studied hard, he could go a short distance on this road.
So Noshier quickly mastered the way to travel in the astral world through thoughts. He closed his eyes and tried to visualize in his mind the corpse of the god who covered the sky and had four withered arms, but whose real name was unknown.
Because Noshier had a deep impression when he played this plot, he quickly found his destination in this limited astral space. His thoughts merged into the ubiquitous silver thoughts in this space. Then, his body disappeared with a touch of silver light. When Noshier opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was a scene that he was very familiar with.
A withered skeleton that blocked out the sun and sky, a remains of a god, and also the last proof of his existence. Noshiel didn't know how many tens of thousands of years he had been wandering in this lonely star world. He only knew that his appearance had no trace of flesh and blood, and even the only remaining skeleton had completely turned into a rock-like texture.
Looking down from his current perspective, Noshiel could see his entire appearance at a glance. He could see the mountain-sized skull with a golden crown, his giant ribs that were as intricate as a jagged mountain, and his four giant arms with giant golden bracelets in different postures.
Noshiel didn't see what the lower limbs of this god looked like, because the bones of that part of his limbs had long been turned into the flying stars and meteorites that were everywhere here. Just looking at this scene, he also felt an indescribable shock.
Looking at the body of the god, he was deeply shocked not only by his mountain-like body, but also by the artistic conception conveyed by the fall of a god. Although Noshier was shocked by the majestic scene when he first realized what the character he controlled was stepping on in the game, when he really saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the shock he felt back then was not even one ten-thousandth of what he felt now.
"Desolate beauty."
Noshier muttered to himself involuntarily, but quickly came back to his senses with his strong will, flapped his wings slightly, and flew towards the direction of the god's skull.
Noshier knew that the person he was looking for was there, that was where Orpheus was imprisoned. With his strong eyesight, he could even see the two huge hell blood crystals standing in the god's eye sockets, and the phantom shield supported by the blood crystals.
Orpheus was sealed inside the cover, which was exactly the same as what was shown in the game. However, what surprised Noshier was that in the original plot, the skull of the god should also be surrounded by a larger giant shield that was large enough to cover the entire skull of the god, but Noshier did not observe that thing.
There was nothing more conspicuous here except the small shield that sealed Orpheus, but he quickly reacted and thought of why.
You know, in the original plot, the one who stole the Astral Prism was a commando team that was apparently commanded by Gotash and composed of a large number of mind flayers and some followers of the goddess of the night, Shar. But the truth was that all of this was a conspiracy of the mastermind. After the death of the evil mind, the mastermind that had regained a certain degree of autonomy created a big drama with its boundless wisdom and psychic powers in order to get rid of control and pursue stronger power.
After the commando team successfully snatched the Astral Prism, the person who took the initiative to keep the Astral Prism was the monarch specially selected by the mastermind.
The predecessor of the monarch was Baldur's Gate, the founder of Baldur's Gate, one of the greatest adventurers in the world. The mastermind knew his nature very well. Even if he was transformed into a mind flayer, he could not suppress his unrestrained and free-spirited heart.
The mastermind made good use of this characteristic of Baldur's Gate. He deliberately made the monarch one of the leaders of this action and let him take the initiative to contact the Astral Prism, so that he was affected by the power of Prince Orpheus from the Astral Prism and directly got rid of the control of the mastermind.
After getting rid of the control, the monarch also relied on his vast knowledge to instantly realize the importance of the Astral Prism. Therefore, before the plot began, he found a way to enter the Astral Prism, and led away the prince's guards by some unknown means, and set up a barrier to drive them out of the skull, so that he had time to master and guide the prince's power.
It must be said that, whether it was the Mastermind or the Monarch, in their original timeline, the completion of their plans was perfect, but in this worldline, the Mastermind had long been dead, and the Monarch was currently at a loss. The Star Prism had not received a second visitor other than Noshir in the past ten thousand years, and without the Monarch's mischief, the giant shield that blocked Prince Orpheus's guards would naturally cease to exist.
After figuring this out, Noshir also landed directly on the mandible of the God Corpse, and after sorting out this issue, he also had some guesses about why Gotash and the others obtained the information about the Star Prism, and he estimated that this was also the work of the Mastermind.
Noshil suspected that before his death, the Mastermind had probably used telepathy to tell them the news that might help Gotash and his friends, and hoped that they would kill him directly after getting the Star Prism.
If this was true, then it had to be said that the Mastermind really lost both his wife and his army. Not only did the plan not come to fruition, but the Star Prism fell into his hands, and what he was going to do next was something that the Mind Flayers absolutely did not want to see.
Noshil took out the Hammer of Orpheus from the space box, turned it around in his hand twice, swung it, and then ran directly from bottom to top with the hammer in his hand, towards the skull.
The Star Realm did not have much gravity, but these meteorite skeletons floating in the Star Realm had some relatively weak gravity, allowing Noshil to jump around happily here with a light step as if he had been subjected to the Feather Fall Technique. The speed was not slow, but just when Noshil was about to completely leave the jaw area and enter the skull area.
‘…By the way, where are the guards here? ’
“Phoenix Flame!!!”
