The reason is simple: because Angel was entering the shattered Hanging Jail Stairway for the first time as well. The unknown itself is an uncontrollable variable.
"""
And for those who entered the holographic live stream, anything they touched would also be fed back to the computing power center for integration and real-time feedback, which is also a kind of variable. Because Angel couldn’t control what they would touch, and he couldn’t decide what was touched.
Such a huge variable would certainly lead to an increase in computing power.
After Angel explained the general situation, everyone finally understood why Angel had been so lackluster before; it turned out it was due to the increase in computing power.
However, even so, everyone was extremely impressed by Angel’s mastery of illusion techniques and his innovative and whimsical ideas.
In this kind of immersive holographic live stream, the Black Earl didn’t know if Sanders could do it, but he was sure that an ordinary illusionist wizard absolutely couldn’t. Even the more straightforward 2D live stream was likely impossible, let alone this kind of illusion technique.
Black Earl: How many times has Angel surprised us now? Or should I say... terrified us?
What is a genius? Perhaps this is what a genius is.
While the Black Earl sighed in his heart, everyone else had different feelings. Vay, undoubtedly, who always looked at Angel through idol-colored glasses, now had his filter thickened several times; Kaier was both shocked and in awe, and still hadn’t come back to his senses.
As for the Wise Sovereign, he was also surprised by Angel’s methods. However, what he was thinking more about was not the strangeness of the method but what exactly the other party’s identity was?
The Moving Mirage, Immersive Illusionary Realm. Both types of illusionary realms were extremely difficult. The former he had heard of, but the latter he was witnessing for the first time and knew just how terrifyingly difficult it was.
Could such a formidable foundation be truly supported by the current Noah clan?
The Wise Sovereign marked another question about Angel’s identity. The probability of him being from the Noah clan continued to diminish.
As for Dox, he was the most composed of them all... He understood how difficult this illusionary realm was, but he had long been accustomed to the shocking bombs Angel occasionally threw out. Plus, back in the Princess Town, he had experienced Rabbit Cha Cha’s Twelve Zodiac Palaces and was already shocked to the core.
Angel’s illusions even created a wise life like Rabbit Cha Cha, so this immersive live stream was just another thing. - Although Angel denied that Rabbit Cha Cha possessed wisdom, Dox still felt Rabbit Cha Cha had great spirituality. Even if it truly wasn’t a wise life, Dox believed that creating the Twelve Zodiac Palaces, Rabbit Cha Cha was definitely more difficult than this immersive live stream.
It is based on this that Dox appeared so calm.
However, Dox’s comparison wasn’t actually valid. In some respects, creating Rabbit Cha Cha was indeed harder than an immersive illusionary realm. But the two couldn’t be compared because Rabbit Cha Cha was an alchemy work made with the Mad Hat’s coronation, while the immersive live stream Angel was currently doing was an application of illusion technique.
The nature of the two is completely different, meaningless to compare.
After all, Dox was an outsider. He only saw the surface, so having this understanding was normal. However, Dox’s calmness made others seem inexperienced.
With Dox as a comparison, others were also embarrassed to show surprise, trying to remain calm.
"It turns out you need computing power, then you could completely block us from touching things and just view the scenery," Dox suggested.
Angel, however, responded with a question: "If you can do better, why aim for less?"
Dox was momentarily choked, murmuring, "Isn’t this to reduce your burden."
Angel was not without gratitude; he first said "thank you," and then added, "I can still bear it for now."
Angel was not someone who would force himself. Recently, he looked defeated, but in fact, he had just exited the supercomputer state. He initially thought the immersive live stream’s consumption of computing power would require him to enter the supercomputer state to sustain it.
But he underestimated the Power of Nightmare Illusion, which was not only extremely stable but also had a certain degree of coherence in its illusion logic.
Another most crucial point: Angel possessed more than one Nightmare Realm; the Wilderness of Dreams counted as his nightmare realm. The material and tactile feeling simulated by the illusion, he could completely simulate through the authority of the Wilderness of Dreams.
As long as it existed in the Wilderness of Dreams, simulating it in reality meant Angel’s consumption would be minimal.
Only when something doesn’t exist in the Wilderness of Dreams would Angel simulate it in the immersive live stream costing a certain amount of computing power.
So even without entering the supercomputer state, Angel could support the immersive live stream now.
As for why he previously suggested others touch less and not increase his pressure, it was merely Angel’s habitual modesty.
Moreover, setting the rules in advance could avoid certain people with an itchy hand, touching this and declaring it treasure, and then touching that and announcing ownership again.
That would indeed be too embarrassing.
So, better not let them know he could make the live stream perfect without much trouble or effort.
"Although this kind of live stream is quite immersive, won’t it scare the Wood Spirit?" At this time, Dox asked a question that everyone was very concerned about.
Previously, the Wise Sovereign only allowed two people in, and now with so many people appearing, even if they were just illusions, wouldn’t it frighten the Wood Spirit?
Facing the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Angel replied in an exasperated tone: "Just synchronizing the situation here to you guys already consumes a lot of computing power. If I were to synchronize your illusions into it, would I be insane?"
Hearing Angel say so, everyone then realized that they were actually still outside.
And the illusionary realm before them was essentially created by illusion nodes left outside by Angel. The illusionary realm was outside, how could it possibly affect the situation inside?
Understanding this, everyone felt a bit embarrassed.
The illusion was too real indeed, so real that it felt like they were genuinely with Angel in the Hanging Jail Stairway, which led them to ignore the essence of the illusion.
This also showed how high Angel’s level of illusion technique had become.
In the Black Earl’s view, its uniqueness might even surpass that of Sanders.
"Since it’s not bidirectional, you can see us, I understand that. Why can he also see us?" Dox asked at this moment, pointing to Kaier.
Angel: "I pulled him into the illusionary realm. Otherwise, if I were muttering to you not to touch this and that, wouldn’t he think I’m crazy?"
Angel hadn’t forgotten that Kaier was the instigator of everything. Previously, he hadn’t brought him into the Mind Ribbon out of concern that he and Vay might get exposed; now that everyone was in the illusionary realm, bringing him in was no longer a concern.
Moreover, compared to Kaier and Vay getting exposed, it was Angel himself who was most likely to be exposed.
The Wise Sovereign’s gaze, though not revealing suspicion, had a subtle smile, as if saying: You act, keep acting.
Angel was genuinely planning to keep acting.
Even though he felt the Wise Sovereign might have realized he wasn’t a Noah descendant, as long as he didn’t admit it, could the Wise Sovereign really be absolutely certain?
Anyway, Angel planned to keep stalling; as long as the Wood Spirit didn’t react to Sanders’s aura, he would continue to act.
If the Wood Spirit truly identified Sanders’s aura, he wouldn’t have any other choice; exposure would be exposure.
