Kill him...

This is indeed the only way to deal with the loss of control. Angel "traveled" to Cole Granger, who failed to be promoted and died, and woke up in a basement full of blood, and even Beyonder Characteristic was precipitated; he saw Old Neil, who was contaminated by Hidden Sage, in high school He died in a human appearance due to the efforts of the super deacon "Goddess's Sword"; he was promoted to "Affliction" in Great Smog, and when he was on the verge of losing control after calming down Calamity, he asked the church's Angel Lady to kill him. This situation is not unfamiliar to him.

Whether they were contaminated by some hidden existence, or lost control due to failed promotion, they either died on the spot, or turned into crazy and vicious beings. According to the church's internal information, senior Nighthawks said that the only way to deal with them is to end their miserable lives.

But is there really no other way?

"In the past six months, I have been in this collapsed mine, unable to leave, unable to die. The incomplete and out-of-control Demigod body has given me long-term vitality, and the crazy part of my body has invaded more dreams driven by instinct, trying to 'live' in this constant dream."

The voice of Pierce continued to come from the squirming Flesh Chunk.

"Invasion of Dream Invasion territory? You mean, the residents of the town above?"

Angel noticed the key point in the other party's words and asked rhetorically.

Could it be that the tourists who are unwilling to leave and are piling up in the port town of Pala Island, and the residents who seem to have been living half a year ago, are all affected by this out-of-control senior deacon?

"Not all, the plantations in the distance, other villages and towns on the island have not been affected, but yes, I have weaved a huge dream in the port town above the mine, which will gradually make them unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, making them always think that they lived on a certain day half a year ago, gradually losing the drive to change the status quo, and becoming ignorant people who can only repeat themselves.

"Originally, this dream will end after I am successfully promoted. Unfortunately, I am unable to end everything now. Most of the dream belongs to another me, the crazy me. He thinks that he has been 'promoted' to Nightwatcher, but is just trapped here. In his rotting body, he wanted to use more people, including tourists who came to the island and accidentally entered Dream Invasion, and were influenced by him, weaving a nightmare that enveloped the entire island, becoming the real 'Nightmare', and leaving here."

Can such an attempt really succeed... But it doesn't seem too far-fetched to think that "Lady Despair" Panacea, who is Demigod, can create Great Smog that affects hundreds of thousands of people, and a huge nightmare that connects the entire island...

Angel Then I understood why there were all kinds of weird phenomena on the island, the notice board at the door of the bar that had not been updated for a long time, the waiter's reply that there was nothing unusual, and the tourists who stayed here for up to half a year...

"But Mandated Punishers seems to have been here, dealt with the mine incident, and did not discover the nightmare he created. Moreover, Para Island has not had any relevant rumors for half a year, until someone 'disappeared' recently..."

"Mandated Punishers... The highest they could be was Sequence 7. They were too easy to deal with. The other one I easily dismissed them with a little 'excuse' in my dream, making Church of Storms think it was a simple gas leak, and it did not cause real casualties. Those Storm Believer quickly closed the case and left Para Island."

There was a hint of disappointment in Pierce's tone.

"If they had discovered something unusual earlier, even if they had reported it and asked their Saint to deal with me, they wouldn't have waited for the problem to escalate to this point. Recently, the other me in the dream has become more and more crazy, even ignoring the possibility of exposing his own existence, allowing more and more people to be connected to the nightmare he weaves. Although I don't know whether his whimsical attempt will succeed, it will undoubtedly cause great harm to the entire residents of Para Island."

It seems that this senior deacon is very dissatisfied with the Mandated Punisherss who hastily concluded the case...

"So, you are also anxious to find someone who can end your life, and by the way, before Pierce in the dream completely leaves the body, you also solve it with him?"

Angel frowned and thought for a moment, then asked. She suddenly remembered Layton and his group who started "mining gold mines" a week ago, and added:

"Could it be that Layton was influenced by you and tried to dig through the mine and expose you so as to attract the attention of the official Beyonder again?"

"Oh, I have been making this kind of effort, but the leader of the 'dream' is another me. In reality, I only have the Beyonder Ability of 'Gatekeeper', but after being contaminated during promotion, the ordinary Spirit Body can't get close to this place at all. I almost It hardly affects outside the mine... Until recently, he, who worked hard to erode dreams, relaxed his vigilance towards me, allowing me to control the dreams of some newcomers, so I approached Layton and asked them to dig out Copper Mine in their dreams, mistaking it for some kind of gold..."

Then they dug Copper Mine for a whole week, thinking that they had made a fortune...Angel's mouth twitched, feeling a little sad for Layton and his batch of "Gold Miners".

Not noticing Angel's slander, Pierce continued to narrate in a low voice:

"Yesterday, a person who was not affected by 'Nightmare' entered the mine. I thought Holy Cathedral finally noticed this place and sent Saint to check. Unexpectedly... You are actually a Demoness. Sorry, I am not discriminating against Potion Pathway. I am just curious about how you joined Nighthawks."

"This is more complicated. Around the same time as your promotion failed, I joined the Nighthawks team of Tingen City..." Angel is not Wanting to talk about his past in detail, he said casually, "But you can actually recognize Beyonder from Demoness Pathway, is it because you have met the 'Demoness Sect' person before?" "

"I rarely interact with this secret sect, but a few months ago, a strange Beyonder Creature who could move quickly through Spirit World broke into Para Island, and was pulled into a dream by another me, almost becoming As part of his plan, I also shared this creature's strange dream, and met many young women like you Sequence... Haha, they all seemed to be 'Affliction' Demoness."

Moving quickly through Spirit World, I also saw "Affliction" Demoness... It can't be the "Gazer" I'm looking for, right?

Angel reacted immediately and asked:

"Where is it now?"

"This Beyonder Creature was too alert and quickly escaped from the dream on its own, leaving the island through Spirit World. But I saw the place where they live in my dream, which is an island to the west of Midway Island and to the southwest of Bodo Port. Due to the confusing position of Spirit World, I cannot determine the specific location, but there is a stranded pirate ship there, which should not be difficult to identify. If you want to see the scene in its dream, I can show it to you through Dream Invasion, but unfortunately the holy symbol in your hand will isolate the influence of the dream..."

Southwest of Bodo Port, there is an island where a pirate ship ran aground...Angel carefully wrote down this information, nodded after a moment, and continued:

"Then how do I get you out of your current Affliction? Since you know that I am Sequence 5, you should understand that I have no means of killing Demigod's body."

If Angel is still Sequence 6, and she has not faced "Lady Despair" directly, she may still think that the gap is just two Sequence. Through Mystical Item and tactics can make up for it, but the closer she gets to the dividing line between Mid Sequence and High Sequence, the more she understands what the name "Demigod" actually means.

"Alternatively, I can return to Midway Island as soon as possible and ask for help from the church via telegram, asking them to send other senior deacons to help you as soon as possible."

For example, "Goddess's Sword" Lord Cesimir, he had fought head-on with Lanevus who had accepted the divine surrender... Angel added from the bottom of his heart.

"No, it may be too late. I can feel that the 'plan' of the other me has come to an end. Although I think this method of immortality in dreams is unlikely to succeed, I cannot take this risk," Pierce replied angrily. Quick and urgent, "And the body is still in my hands now. In a few days, it won't be certain. I will let go of all defenses. Use Black Flame and attack me with all your strength with Mystical Item. You will definitely be able to..."

Before he finished speaking, the white feathers mixed with yellow oil suddenly grew outward, becoming more obvious. Angel's heart beat violently, and Spirituality was reminded like crazy that this place was about to appear. The huge danger, she did not hesitate, Spirituality locked on the Magic Mirror she had left in advance, her body was like a broken mirror, scattered shimmering fragments on the ground, among which fell a few filthy feathers.

The next moment, she reappeared next to a broken dressing mirror above the mine. She first looked at herself and saw that nothing strange appeared on her body, and then carefully stepped to the pit. She did not dare to look directly down, but said loudly:

"Mr. Senior Deacon, what happened just now?"

Her tone was calm, as if the dangerous omen that suddenly broke out just now was just an illusion, but in fact, her right hand Good Luck Revolver was aimed diagonally downwards, and her left hand took out "Calamity" Charm, and she was ready for any battle.

"Just now... the other me was trying to control my body, so that dreams, reality and Spirit Body could merge into one, and completely eliminate my existence..."

Pierce's voice was a little high, so that Angel above the cave could hear it.

"It's too late to ask for help from the church. I suppressed him temporarily. You immediately use all means to eliminate this body. Otherwise, when he completely gets rid of the shackles of the body and enters the huge nightmare of Para Island, I'm afraid I won't be the only one who has to deal with it."

"It seems like this is the only way, but given the previous situation, do you mind if I use 'Slumber Charm' to make you lose your resistance first, and then come back to you?"

Angel's voice was hesitant. She looked around and found that she was directly above "Flesh Chunk".

"It's better this way. I will let go of my resistance. You throw Charm on me. About three of them will take effect, but you have to do it quickly, otherwise he may use it to control my body."

Below the cave, Pierce answered with a hint of relief and relaxation.

Holding the revolver in one hand, Angel took out several Charm made of silver flakes with the other hand, pinched one with his fingertips, and chanted softly:

"Evernight."

Injecting a little Spirituality into Charm, she threw out the silver piece and listened to the Charm that fell straight to the bottom of the hole and made a slight explosion. A calming wave came from below.

"Evernight."

The second Charm was activated, and two waves of sleep-inducing waves came, making Angel far away from the bottom of the cave a little drowsy. The sound of Pierce and the subtle sound of Flesh Chunk's crawling below had completely disappeared.

She picked up the third Charm, Spirituality and poured it in until more than half of it was consumed.

"Calamity!"

Ancient Hermes, which was completely different from before, sounded, and "Calamity Charm" in her hand left her fingertips and fell downwards.
