Liliath in Crisis

Bigge Strike unleashed a series of slashes, his aura surging ever higher, leaving Hake struggling to maneuver amidst the flashing blades. Although he managed to defend against and evade most of the attacks, his body was still subjected to repeated impacts, and his wounds multiplied.

In less than half an hour, due to the body's automatic wound repair consuming a large amount of divine energy, Hake's divine energy was almost completely depleted, and his body was on the verge of collapse.

Bigge was still furious and continued to slash at Hake with his longsword.

Gu Ding and Tagore suddenly intervened and blocked Bigge's attack.

"Bigge, that's enough. His divine energy is exhausted. If you continue to attack, he will die." Gu Ding stood in front of Hake.

The Black Flame burning fiercely on Bigge's body gradually subsided. With a flick of his wrist, the long blade of Black Flame slashed through the void and then mysteriously disappeared into it. Only then did Bigge's body finally return to normal.

Dokter also discovered that Bigge had no burn marks on his body.

Gu Ding grabbed the already weakened Hake's wrist and handcuffed his hands with a pair of black handcuffs. These black handcuffs were an item developed by Robert, called Particle Signal Isolator, used to isolate the brain's response to energy particles. Wearing these handcuffs, Hake was essentially no different from an ordinary person, unable to engage in any combat.

Bigge grabbed Hack by the back of his Hake like a chick, turned to Gu Ding and asked, "What should we do with him now?"

"Lock him in his room first. Sea Emperor, lock the door and don't let him out. Monitor his every move." Gu Ding knew very well that Hake was currently under hypnosis, so too many restrictions wouldn't be very effective. Just prevent him from escaping.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." Sea Emperor readily accepted the task.

"Gu Ding, I would like to conduct some tests on him to see how hypnotized he is." Liliath made this request.

"Okay, then Bigge go with you, it'll be safer." Gu Ding nodded.

Bigge nodded to Liliath, and the two walked together toward Hake's room.

Gu Ding looked around at Sea Emperor's room, which was in a terrible state. Before Sea Emperor could say anything, he turned directly to Robert and said, "Robert, help Sea Emperor fix it up."

"The damage isn't serious, and the room won't be difficult to repair," Robert concluded after looking around.

"Why don't we take this opportunity to renovate? I'll give you the design later." The Sea Emperor also seemed quite open-minded.

"Sea Emperor. Come with me." Gu Ding waved to the Sea Emperor, turned and left, and the Sea Emperor immediately followed.

As soon as the two stepped out of the room, Gu Ding spoke up, "Sea Emperor, you know about what Lily said before about Hake's hypnosis. Is there really no other way besides seeking help from the gods?"

"What Lily said is basically consistent with the information in my database. But she's concealing one piece of information: this kind of deep hypnosis. It's actually creating endless dreams and trapping the person within them. Many people with Pupil Technique can enter these dreams, but entering someone else's dream is extremely dangerous. One wrong move and you could easily get trapped, and getting out would be difficult. Of course, it's also possible. Lily doesn't know about this method." After evolving into human form, the Sea Emperor's database was greatly expanded; much information he didn't know before is now no longer a secret. Deep hypnosis happens to be information stored in his database.

"But why would Lily hide this information..." Gu Ding frowned slightly upon hearing Sea Emperor's words. "She just said she would help Hake with the test, could it be... Sea Emperor, notify Bigge to stop Lily from testing Hake!"

At the same time, Gu Ding appeared in a flash at the door of Hake's room, and Sea Emperor immediately followed.

"It's too late, Lily has already started..." Before Gu Ding could even open the door, Sea Emperor spoke again.

Gu Ding pushed the door open and entered. Hake had already been pinned against the wall by Bigge, while Liliath and Hake stood face to face, their eyes now a purple-gold color.

"Captain, what are you doing...?" Bigge asked, somewhat puzzled. "Why are you stopping Lily from testing this kid?"

"Gu Ding, what exactly are you thinking about?" The Sea Emperor was also somewhat confused as to why Gu Ding had suddenly called a halt.

"Lily isn't testing Hake at all; she wants to enter Hake's dream and awaken Hake all by herself!" Gu Ding frowned as he looked at the two whose eyes had turned Purple-Gold.

"You mean Lily knew about this method from the beginning and intended to use it, but deliberately concealed this information because she was worried we wouldn't agree?" The Sea Emperor was also surprised that Liliath would do something like this. "That girl is too foolish! Even with Hake's level of consciousness, he's trapped in that dream world. What help could she possibly be?!"

"Sea Emperor, is there any way to wake Lily up?" Gu Ding asked immediately.

"According to my detection, their soul power fluctuations are completely synchronized. Lily should have already entered Hake's dream. The only way to wake Liliath now is for the two of them to work together to break the dream." The Sea Emperor's answer was somewhat despairing. "But there are still remnants of a god-level will and consciousness within Hake. Given the soul strength of Hake and Liliath, breaking the dream is almost impossible."

"Sea Emperor, search for any traces of gods of the Third Sequence or above. If you find any, we'll head there immediately!" Gu Ding made the decision right away.

"I've already checked, and I haven't found any trace of gods above the Third Sequence. Our only hope now is to enter the Great Universe Sea. The chances of finding god-level powerhouses there are higher, but we must also be prepared for the worst. After all, the plane we're in is just a Basic Plane, and the chances of gods appearing are extremely low. Moreover, the journey through the Reverse Current Space takes three months before we even enter the Great Universe Sea. Given the current situation, it's hard to say whether Lily and Hake can even make it to the Great Universe Sea."

"We can't worry about that now. Let's ask everyone if they've finished purchasing supplies. If they have, let's head towards the Reverse Current Space right now, instead of waiting two days!" Gu Ding knew that time was of the essence. With Liliath and Hake in their current condition, every day that passed would decrease their chances of survival.

Just moments later, the Sea Emperor replied, "I just confirmed with everyone that all the purchases have been completed."

"Then let's set off now!" Gu Ding waved and shouted. (To be continued~^~)
