"Do you believe in me?"

In the Instances, Liens once again said these words to Balder and the others. Of course, for the others, this was the first time they had heard it from Liens.

"I naturally believe you."

Compared to the others who were momentarily stunned by Liens's sudden words, Lucrezia calmly gave an affirmative response.

At this time, it was exactly when Liens had once again repelled Alfred in the Instances, and everyone was reuniting in the city.

Donahue and the others, who had stayed behind in the city, saw Liens and his group return and stepped forward to inquire about the situation. In reality, Liens didn't waste time there and quickly left under an excuse.

However, in the Instances, he needed the cooperation of Balder and the others to successfully complete the upcoming test.

Lucrezia's voice reminded the others who were in a daze. Without much thought, they all expressed their stance, indicating that they also trusted Liens.

Since it wasn't the first time he had heard it, Liens didn't pay too much attention to everyone's reactions. He just calmly continued, "Then, fire at me."

Liens's inexplicable words once again stunned the others, who didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, Liens also knew that if he didn't explain, no one would understand, so he briefly explained his plan and their current situation.

After completing the upper limit test of Alfred's strength, Liens then began the next phase of testing.

The next test content was data related to the military formation, such as the formation's maximum output, range, attack speed, the precise time required to complete resonance, and so on…

Strategically, defeating the strong with the weak is essentially still defeating the weak with the strong.

It's just that the seemingly weaker side concentrates its power locally to achieve a stronger-than-weak victory, thereby forming an advantage locally, weakening the opponent, and finally completing the reversal of defeating the strong with the weak step by step.

Let's compare the strong and the weak to the situation where Alfred alone suppressed the entire Rebel Army.

On the surface, it seems the Rebel Army is the weaker side, but in reality, the Rebel Army is the side with stronger overall power.

After a real struggle and confrontation with Alfred, Liens clearly understood that he, combined with the military formation, could definitely match Alfred, and might even be slightly stronger.

Adding Balder and the others, on paper, they were definitely stronger than Alfred.

However, the strength and weakness in combat are not calculated based on paper data.

With so many people and so many different powers on their side, it's impossible for them to be completely integrated, and individually, they are not a match for Alfred.

Therefore, they were actually 'defeated by the weak' by Alfred.

Now, Liens's plan is to reverse the local disadvantage, achieve a short-term concentration of the Rebel Army's overall power, and turn it into a sharp arrow to slay Alfred.

"You mean, the space we are currently in is actually an illusory world formed by your ability… This is impossible, I can truly sense my connection with the Old God."

"I can feel this close connection from divinity; it's definitely not something fake."

Compared to the plan, some people were more concerned about Liens's explanation of his ability. Isabelle looked agitated, directly refusing to acknowledge the falsehood Liens spoke of.

The others, however, were not as unable to accept it as Isabelle, but they still looked at Liens, waiting for his further explanation.

"I don't need to materialize the divinity from a true god; I just need to overlay my cognition over yours."

"How can you be sure that the divinity within you is truly divinity, and not something I made you believe was divinity?"

"How big do you think the gap in cognition between us two is?"

Facing the agitated Isabelle, Liens just calmly spoke three sentences, which completely intimidated her.

Isabelle stood still. She recalled the 'Master Experience' Liens had given them that morning; the content recorded within it indeed far exceeded her cognition.

And this obviously couldn't be all that Liens understood, so it was indeed possible for Liens to do what he said: overlay her cognition, or even theirs.

Beside them, Lucrezia looked at Liens with a hint of deep meaning.

She had always known that Liens possessed some kind of dream ability, but she never expected this unknown 'dream' ability to be so special that even she couldn't find any difference between here and reality.

Liens could even simulate the divine origin within her body, and even that 'madness,' without her noticing anything abnormal.

This truly made it difficult for her to imagine what level of 'dream' ability this was?

As for Liens's talk of cognitive overlay, that was just to fool Isabelle.

In her previous life, she was one of the Old God. Although the newly reborn her was not as she once was, if even her cognition could be completely overlaid, it would be hard to imagine what level his realm had reached.

"Do you believe in me?"

After intimidating Isabelle, Liens once again asked the same question to everyone.

At this point, the others also understood why he had asked them such a question at the beginning.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, then Balder stepped forward first and said solemnly to Liens, "We have no other choice. Only by believing in you does the Rebel Army have hope of victory."

Although these words were directed at Liens, they were also a reminder to the others that if they wanted to win, they had no better option.

Seeing that even Balder chose to believe in Liens's plan, the others naturally did not raise any objections.

Thus, the Rebel Army quickly sprang into action, beginning to carry out Liens's arrangements.

Time flew by in their busy work.

Liens floated high in the sky, quietly waiting for the preparations below to be completed.

Until a dazzling light appeared, gradually becoming even more brilliant. After a while, the light stopped changing. Liens took out a communication token and sent a message to the other side, asking, "Time?"

Lucrezia's voice came from the communication token, answering Liens's question: "The time required for basic resonance is 4 minutes and 18 seconds. To reach the extreme state, it takes 1 minute and 25 seconds."

Liens silently noted this data, simultaneously comparing it with the data obtained from other Instances s before. He quickly arrived at a rough time range.

"Do you want to change the target of the attack? Use the small mountain outside the city to calculate the military formation's attack power."

While Liens was silently calculating the data, Lucrezia suggested.

"I've tested that already. I've roughly deduced the military formation's maximum output."

"Now I want to personally test the process of being bombarded by the military formation. This way, I can more accurately calculate how much damage this strike will inflict on Liens, the Sword Saint."

Liens responded calmly, completely unfazed by his self-destructive behavior.

Death is like the wind, always by my side.

This is a moniker for those who frequently Adventurer and walk on the edge of death.

But for Liens, death is not a wind, but a familiar experience. Although the self-reconstructed Liens is no longer cold, he still has no fear of death.

"Alright, be careful."

Understanding that Liens's mind was made up, Lucrezia no longer tried to dissuade him.

"By the way, does the military formation's attack have a name?"

Before the attack test began, Liens looked at the dazzling light below and asked Lucrezia.

"It seems not yet."

"Is that so? How about 'Oath of Victory'?"

"That, you'll have to tell the real me."

"I will."

"…"

"Begin."

Liens said finally, ending their conversation.

As his voice fell, the dazzling light rapidly approached. Liens's expression was calm, and the long sword in his hand was inverted, plunging into the void. A faint membrane appeared in front of him.
