Chapter 356: Chapter 222: Bright Moon Consciousness, Desperate Tiya
Accompanied by Lynn’s calm words, which fell slowly, in that instant, the resentful and sinister expression of the Creation Demon solidified on its face.
Not only it was affected, but the young man’s statement seemed to bear some significant magic, as the rampant dark tide that had just been raging everywhere instantly quieted down, as if a Divine entity had pressed their pocket watch and halted time at this very moment.
But of course, this was not the might of the Divine.
Ever since Miss Witch stopped responding to his prayers, Lynn, as a God Forsaken, was destined not to receive any Divine response.
Ultimately, the situation at hand was caused solely by the three sentences he had uttered just now.
Those three wishes were like a spell capable of Sealing the Demon, locking away the Creation Demon’s last hope and reliance.
At this moment, It finally reacted, realizing that its body, as if petrified, could no longer move, a trace of panic and despair faintly surfacing in its eyes as it looked at Lynn with a changed gaze.
It was a look that spelled retreat and pleaded for mercy.
Clearly, upon hearing Lynn’s three wishes, Yuvalia, who had already merged with the core properties of the Wish Jar, instantly understood the other party’s intention.
However, once the wishing process began, it could not be interrupted.
Especially now that It had lost all power, retaining only a wisp of consciousness devoid of autonomy.
Even knowing the other party’s intentions, she was completely helpless.
In fact, long before encountering the Wish Jar, Lynn had come across a Sealed Object very similar to it.
It was the greed magic box that caused Ivyst much trouble when they first met.
Of course, compared to the Wish Jar, the greed magic box back then was merely a level 1 Sealed Object, less dangerous, and after the transaction was completed, Lynn had set it free, its current whereabouts unknown.
However, one thing they had in common was the trickster rules.
After all, the only purpose of these types of Sealed Objects is to mock life, collecting human fear and despair as the spiritual sustenance for some ineffable entities.
Because no matter what wish is made, it will always present in the worst possible way in the end.
Therefore, from the start, upon arriving in this Spiritual World, Lynn had no intention of realizing any wishes through the core properties.
His sole purpose was to use the force of the other party.
If it refused to comply, then he would have to resort to some extraordinary measures.
For the Wish Jar, Lynn adopted a strategy similar to what he used when facing the greed magic box.
By now, the core properties had been weakened by the heavy Sealing of Miss Witch, making it much weaker, so even an ordinary person without Transcendent power could easily subdue it after learning the corresponding method.
Yes, it was a paradox.
For this kind of Sealed Object which execution of rules has a higher priority than its own consciousness, only a paradox could easily shatter it.
The three wishes Lynn made did not follow the desires buried deep in his heart and were not targeted at himself, so the result naturally would not be the merciless mockery of the Wish Jar.
The wishes he made were very simple, yet interconnected.
Like a precise and clear program, they locked the core properties’ last escape route, trapping its limited intelligence in an infinite loop of a crash within the boundless time.
Firstly, the three wishes lacked distinction in priority.
This means that the first and second wishes are contradictory in any case.
You cannot choose between “reverse realization” and “do not realize.”
If you follow Wish One, then you will inevitably violate Wish Two.
If you follow Wish Two, it means that Wish One was not realized.
Putting that aside, Wish Three is another extremely ingenious paradox point.
Once Wish Three is realized, causing the core properties to forget all the previous wishes, the core rules of the Wish Jar will contradict it.
If the core properties choose to forget, it also means that they are violating Lynn’s second wish – not to realize the third wish.
These are three aspects that cannot coexist no matter what.
Therefore, the moment Lynn made these three wishes, as a tremendously powerful level 0 Sealed Object, the core properties of the Wish Jar and the union with Creation Demon Yuvalia, were unavoidably crashed.
But it did not possess an option to reset to factory settings as the greed magic box did.
After all, the Ancient God had established a rule from the very start when creating it: “Every wish made, must be fulfilled.”
As the minutes and seconds passed by, Creation Demon Yuvalia and the surrounding dark waves gradually crumbled and dissipated, like grains of sand passing away in a non-existent breeze.
Even in the last second, there remained in Its eyes a hint of disbelief, along with an unprecedented plea and regret.
Although these three wishes could preserve her final trace of consciousness until death, once her only reliance fell into an endless loop, She no longer had any capacity to resist Lynn.
Not only It, but even the core property would become a toy in Lynn’s hands – of course, provided that he could pay the price of using it.
However, now was not the time to consider these matters.
“I gave you a chance,” Lynn said, looking at the slender figure of the woman in the black swamp not far away, with a shrug, “It’s just too bad you didn’t choose to cherish it.”
