Volume 8, Chapter 11 – Cognitive Tampering

After a brief spell of high-altitude flight, Tianyin arrived alone above the demon camp.

At this moment, Tianyin was hovering several thousand meters above the ground. And because Tianyin herself had the figure of a loli, from the ground, at such a height, it was completely impossible to see Tianyin floating in the sky.

Of course, conversely, it was also very hard for Tianyin up in the sky to clearly make out the demon camp below. But that kind of thing was irrelevant, because to her, what the demon camp looked like did not matter.

In her sight, the area where the demon camp was stationed was extremely vast, and those bizarre houses they had built stretched out to a place even Tianyin could not see clearly.

“Phew, even though I already expected the demon army in Inferno to be huge, seeing these camps still makes me feel shocked.”

Lowering her head to look below, Tianyin sighed with emotion.

And in her mind, Samael’s voice sounded right after.

「Xiaoyin, having a lot of people isn’t necessarily a good thing. If we go by demons’ irritable and chaotic personalities, as long as you stir up contradictions between these demons, maybe just a tiny conflict will set off a massive group brawl among them, right?」

『Wuu…』

Samael’s words really did make sense. At least, to Tianyin, it sounded completely reasonable.

『That really is how it is… saying it like that, it actually feels like having too many demons is also a disadvantage.』

「Well, Xiaoyin, everything has two sides, and what we need is precisely the other side of things.」

『Mm, then next is carrying out the plan.』

After the brief exchange ended, Tianyin knew this was not the time to drag things out, so after roughly observing the demon camp, she began to mobilize the Seven Deadly Sins power within her body.

More accurately, it was the power of Lust.

As she used that power, Tianyin’s consciousness slowly sank deep into her heart, carefully controlling the Seven Deadly Sins power as it spread toward the demon camp below.

Using the power also caused Tianyin to block off some of her perception of the outside world. Although outwardly Tianyin still looked like she was floating in midair, at this moment she was already in an undefended state.

It could be said that if someone launched a surprise attack right now, Tianyin would likely fail to react in time and get hurt.

Of course, at this time there was no existence that knew Tianyin’s location. So Tianyin, several thousand meters up in the sky, was actually very safe.

“Wuu…”

As time passed, as she sensed the demons’ emotions, Tianyin’s brows unconsciously furrowed.

It looked as if she had sensed something bad, and her expression became worse and worse.

However, after this situation continued for roughly dozens of minutes, it ended, and after another ten or so minutes, Tianyin gradually pulled back the Seven Deadly Sins power.

After retrieving the Seven Deadly Sins power, Tianyin’s expression was still somewhat unpleasant.

「What’s wrong, Xiaoyin, did you sense something bad?」

Samael, who had been paying attention to Tianyin all along, asked in time. Actually, Samael had wanted to ask just now, but since Tianyin was using the Seven Deadly Sins power, Samael did not want to interrupt Tianyin’s actions.

『Samael… next might be a bit hard to deal with…』

Muttering those words, Tianyin’s gaze also grew a little complicated.

『Demons really are a group of chaotic existences. And according to what I imagined, as long as I stirred up contradictions between these demons, there would be a huge possibility of making these demons turn on each other… But the problem is, these demons seem extremely afraid of the Abyssal Lord. So those impulses for chaos and slaughter that were originally there have all been suppressed by the Abyssal Lord.』

『And through the Seven Deadly Sins power, what I sensed was that those thoughts of slaughter, battle, and chaos take up a very small proportion in every demon’s heart. But their fear of the Abyssal Lord far outweighs those desires…』

What Tianyin said was indeed the truth she had just sensed.

And without a doubt, if what Tianyin said was true, then the chance of inciting internal conflict among the demons next would become vanishingly small.

「That really is… kind of tricky…」

After hearing Tianyin’s explanation, Samael also could not help but sigh.

「Putting it that way, this plan seems like it’s already hopeless… Xiaoyin.」

And judging from the facts, what Samael said was indeed the best choice, because this really did seem to have no chance anymore.

But.

『No… I think it can still succeed.』

The silver-haired loli spoke seriously. In those beautiful eyes, an especially steadfast light flickered.

『Samael. Even if the Abyssal Lord is influencing these demons, still… the essence of these demons is chaotic evil. Even if it is difficult to provoke fighting among these demons, still… this is the best way so far to deal with the demon army.』

That was true.

Even if Tianyin possessed powerful strength that could deal with these armies, no matter how strong Tianyin was, she could not eliminate a massive demon army all at once.

What was more, the Abyssal Lord also existed, so once it reached the battlefield, when Tianyin wanted to make a move, the Abyssal Lord would definitely step in to stop Tianyin.

And making the demons turn on each other was undoubtedly the best way to weaken the enemy’s effective strength.

『So, Samael… no matter how difficult it is, I don’t want to give up!』

「Xiaoyin…」

Sensing the resolute determination in Tianyin’s heart, Samael could not help but be moved.

Once upon a time, the impression Tianyin gave Samael was still that of a little girl who could do nothing and understood nothing, a little girl who needed to rely on others for everything.

But as time came to the present, after Tianyin had experienced all kinds of growth, she had already become a little girl with a strong, independent personality.

「Seriously, since you’ve already said that, then don’t give up, Xiaoyin.」

『I absolutely won’t give up!』

Tianyin said firmly.

After that, she once again activated the Seven Deadly Sins power within her body.

And this time, the Seven Deadly Sins power Tianyin activated was not Lust, but the portion belonging to Envy.

The ability of Envy power was to copy countless skills, and as someone who had watched many rounds of professional player competition, Tianyin had copied countless skills.

And this time, Tianyin’s purpose in using Envy power was also obvious.

“Mage’s hidden job, Illusionist… skill,【Cognitive Tampering】”

Very quickly, Tianyin thought of the skill she wanted to activate, and then directly activated 【Cognitive Tampering】.

════════♡════════ ❀ Cognitive Tampering ❀ ────────♡──────── For a period of time, forcibly distort the external image others observe of you. Your true image does not change, but in others’ eyes, your image has already become another person. ════════♡════════

Since she wanted to provoke the demons into infighting, then the skill 【Cognitive Tampering】 was an extremely important skill.
