The "others" that Dox mentioned naturally referred to The Sage.
His attitude was clear: since you are already being watched by The Sage, why not just broadcast it live for everyone to see?
The last time Angel did a live broadcast, he did it purely because he was too lazy to describe it in words. Had he known it would lead to this, he would not have done it.
"Live broadcast, what is a live broadcast?" The Wise Sovereign asked curiously.
Seeing the Wise Sovereign also joining the discussion, Angel sighed and reluctantly agreed.
As Dox said, since the Wise Sovereign could already see what he was doing inside, he was already being treated like a sideshow, so it didn’t matter if there were one or two more people watching. Besides, he didn’t want to create friction with the Black Earl over a trivial matter.
With this in mind, Angel quickly set up a large number of Illusion Nodes in the outer world.
Since he was already committed to it, he decided to go big.
The last broadcast was too small and flat; this time, he’d go for an immersive experience, directly transitioning from the flat plane to the holographic era.
Previously, he had only created immersive theatrical Shadow Boxes. Because the Shadow Box was prepared in advance, there was time to make adjustments, and any flaws could be fixed beforehand.
But this time, he was creating a real-time immersive illusion.
This tested not only illusion techniques but also deeper skills, like Angel’s control over illusions, the stability of energy output, and his ability to multitask.
Control and stability might sound like simple words, but the details they contain are far from simple.
For instance, how can one ensure the continuous stability of an Illusion Node?
The Illusion Nodes themselves are arranged in a relatively stable pattern, but for Angel to broadcast in real-time, he needed to constantly change the structure of the Illusion Nodes. This "synchronous update" in rhythm would make the Illusion Nodes extremely unstable.
Other illusionist wizards would find it very difficult to achieve this. If Angel relied solely on illusion techniques, he wouldn’t be able to maintain absolute synchronization. However, he could control the Power of Nightmare Illusion, and the nodes with this power participating became extremely stable. Plus, Angel’s right hand with green patterns could continuously release the aura of the Nightmare Realm, unlike Sanders, who still needed a Mare Stone for assistance.
This was the confidence that allowed Angel to attempt this.
Just like the Moving Mirage before, this was Angel’s first attempt at an "immersive holographic broadcast." In terms of technical difficulty, it was much harder than the Moving Mirage. Because the Moving Mirage used Earl Mi as the core node, all Angel had to do was maintain stability. But now, he needed to handle multiple highly complex tasks simultaneously.
To be safe, Angel even activated supercomputer mode. Powerful computing power could make it easier for him to handle multiple tasks at once.
Everyone only saw Angel continuously setting up Illusion Nodes, unaware of what Angel planned to do next. Only the Black Earl and the Wise Sovereign looked at the illusion nodes around them, floating like a Star Sea, lost in thought.
"The Illusion Nodes are filled with a strange and mysterious aura, but there’s no deadly intent," commented the Wise Sovereign quietly: "Is this what you mean by live broadcast?"
The Black Earl and Dox did not answer because they didn’t know what Angel was up to either. Did a live broadcast require such a large amount of Illusion Nodes?
While The Sage was puzzled, Angel completed the final step of his setup.
By this time, Angel could start the broadcast at any moment, but he didn’t immediately activate the Illusion Nodes.
For such a rare new attempt, a sense of ceremony was needed.
Angel lightly snapped his fingers, and the Illusion Nodes around everyone began to light up wave after wave.
The surrounding light was gradually covered by a dark curtain.
This process was like willingly stepping into the curtain of night as dusk approached, with stars in the sky lighting up one by one, illuminating this beautifully enchanting dream.
"So beautiful..." Even Vay, who had always played the role of deadwood, couldn’t help but remark.
"Usually, beautiful things are poisonous," Dox said beside Vay. "Don’t be blinded by it."
Vay was about to retort when he noticed the Wise Sovereign looking at him from afar. He quickly collected his emotions and continued to play deadwood.
Meanwhile, Angel’s voice reverberated in everyone’s ears.
"Resistance or acceptance is your choice."
After this brief sentence, everyone felt the Illusion Nodes around them rapidly forming an unusual structure, enclosing them tightly.
The Illusion Nodes were weaving a magnificent web of illusions around them, as if to ensnare them all.
Faced with this unfamiliar energy, the wizards’ instincts were to resist.
However, hearing Angel’s whisper, they understood what was happening. Was Angel preparing to pull them into an Illusionary Realm?
If it was just a broadcast, why integrate them into an Illusionary Realm?
Though they didn’t understand Angel’s intention, they had previous experience with the Moving Mirage and trusted Angel, so they did not resist and were directly drawn into the realm.
The only one who did not enter the Illusionary Realm was The Sage outside the earth’s boundary walls.
It wasn’t that The Sage was unwilling, but rather, Angel didn’t extend the realm in his direction. After all, The Sage could see everything he was doing anyway, so there was no difference in whether he watched the broadcast or not.
However, as Angel thought about this, The Sage suddenly spoke through the Mind Ribbon: "Is this what you mean by live broadcast?"
No one else spoke up because they didn’t know why the broadcast entered the realm.
Angel: "It’s just a synchronous application of illusions. Does The Sage want to try?"
Angel was merely asking out of courtesy, assuming The Sage to be cautious and unlikely to enter an unknown realm created by someone else. Surprisingly, The Sage gave a straightforward nod: "Okay."
Angel was silent for a moment. Finally, he extended the realm beyond the earth’s boundary walls. The Sage, like the others, did not resist and was directly integrated into the realm.
However, at this time, the realm appeared exactly the same as reality, without any changes.
While everyone was puzzled, Angel’s voice echoed in their ears once more:
"The immersive live broadcast begins now..."
