Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2301

If reinforcements hadn't arrived in time back then, no one could tell how much chaos those ghouls would have caused once they'd escaped the barrier.

Mike had been haunted by that incident ever since. So, for over two years afterward, he devoted every spare moment to studying and carving scripts onto his body and reinforcing them again.

He refused to fall into the same trap twice, and sure enough, he'd succeeded.

When the Alternate Divine Power had tried to seize control of his consciousness and attempted to use him as a conduit to build a colossal world-bridging array, the scripts engraved on his body automatically activated and repelled the intrusion.

By all rights, the Alternate Divine Power should suppress all forms of spiritual energy, but Mike's scripts were different. He'd painstakingly reinforced it over two years with his spiritual energy. An array storing that energy made all the difference.

As for why it wasn't affected by the Rules of the Alternate Divine Power, the key was perhaps the fact that not all spiritual energy in the scripts came from Mike himself. Some also came from Shannon's golden light.

In any case, his script had worked when it mattered most. When he realized his spiritual energy could still function in that space, he took it further—Mike used his glitch-creating method in the alternate world and stacked a secondary array on top of the first.

In doing so, he succeeded in slipping past the detection of the Alternate Divine Power.

"Though there was another me and Lexie in the alternate world, we could enter. That's because I created a glitch in the rules that allowed our existence to bypass the Alternate Divine Power's detection.

"When I realized it was the Alternate Divine Power that took me, I figured if I could try dodging it the same way again… Ha! And it worked!" Mike explained with a grin.

Shannon was utterly speechless. Mike didn't seem to realize just how ridiculously heaven-defying this feat was. He'd just outwitted the Alternate Divine Power, the ol' mighty Divine Power everyone feared.

It was only now that Shannon understood why she hadn't sensed a trace of Mike's presence, though he'd been standing right in front of her.

If his scripts could bypass the Alternate Divine Power, it was no surprise she couldn't feel him either.

For the first time, she understood what it meant when people called her a genius. To her, Mike was the genius.
