Nightmare Labyrinth (To Be Revised Later)

"Notification: You have established Super-Sense Link with the ' Sea Serpent Queen '!"

As the sky above Roger's head gradually turned into an ink-black color like a landscape painting.

Then he heard the Sea Serpent Queen's clear, cold voice:

"The merging of the two planes is an inevitable trend..."

"Vilan has already taken control of the Plane Heart of the ' Chaotic Plane '."

"Once the ' The First Spirit ' is born, a third planet will appear above the Fifth Star Track, at which point Mystra and Quinan will both perish..."

"You should know that the Fifth Star Track can only hold one planet at most, which is why Mystra and Quinan have had an alternating relationship for countless eons..."

Roger remained silent.

actually.

He really didn't know that the Fifth Star Track system had limited capacity!

However, the Queen's explanation does explain the Star Track Phenomenon of Mystra ascending and Qionan descending! According to her...

Once the White Whale Star is formed.

Because it occupies a higher orbit.

Not only will the already sinking Quenan accelerate its descent.

Even Mystra, whose upward trend is underway, will be pushed out of position and plunge back into that bottomless abyss! At that time...

Mystra will face further invasion by Aberrant Matter.

The already battered planet will be completely transformed into a monster's paradise!...

"In that case..."

What are your plans?

Roger had his own ideas.

However, it is also necessary to consult with the Sea Serpent Queen before taking action.

After all, it's on these two planets.

His only strong ally is the Queen.

"My plan?"

The Queen gave a soft hum.

Suddenly, the tone shifted. "Vilan found me."

Roger was suddenly startled.

A strong sense of foreboding welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Before he could speak...

The Queen then quickly said:

"He told me his plan, and to be honest, I had never seen such a meticulous and rigorous strategy before... He had been preparing for this for at least 300 years!"

"I've confirmed it. He's most likely a descendant of the founder of the Celestial Palace, and he also participated in an operation many years ago to intercept visitors from the Celestial Palace. This person is ruthless and extremely adept at concealing his true intentions..."

"To be honest, his plan impressed me."

"Everything he did was to break the unfair laws set by the gods. Although his methods were too cruel, they were nothing compared to his grand vision."

"Most importantly..."

No matter how hard we try.

We couldn't stop the formation of the White Whale Star.

The downfall of Quinan and Mystra is a foregone conclusion.

I cannot find any trace of the reincarnations of Mystra and Quinan in this world.

Even the gods abandoned their planet.

What can we, as ordinary mortals, do?

If we cooperate with Vilan.

We can bring the people around us to White Whale Star.

Then let's leave this damn Fifth Star Track together!

We will have the opportunity to occupy the Fourth Star Track or even a better position.

Neither Messenary nor Telodal are eternal.

What do you think?

Upon hearing this...

A hint of doubt flashed in Roger's eyes.

But I felt relieved in an instant.

The Sea Serpent Queen was not a benevolent deity of high moral character.

For the benefit of Quinan.

She can fight Vilan.

So, in her opinion, the situation was already settled.

It seems only natural that they would cooperate with Vilan.

only.

Roger calmly watched the sky gradually being stained with ink-like colors.

This is accompanied by the merging of planes.

In just a few minutes.

The ink-wash color had already permeated parts of the mainland.

That's a unique landscape in the "Little Heavenly Human Realm"!

Everything is composed of gray and white tones!...

"Grey Water White Mountain..."

Roger silently repeated the word to himself.

now.

His heart was beating very fast.

The brain was spinning at high speed:

"If his words are true, Mystra's return is a highly probable event."

"Only..."

Even if Mystra returns, whose side will she be on?

Roger couldn't get an answer.

In fact.

In this evolution of star orbits.

The planets Mystra and Quinan are also subtly positioned as opposing forces.

The Queen's base of support is in Qynan.

It's understandable that she changed her stance after realizing this.

In Roger's view

She was able to tell herself openly and honestly.

It's already a miracle that I didn't get suddenly attacked in a sneak attack!

"Etc!"

"This is unreasonable!"

Roger suddenly realized something.

He pinched his thigh hard!

The bulge in his chest seemed to leap up alertly.

Immediately afterwards.

One by one, the wolf cubs pounced at Roger's feet.

It looked like they were patting something dirty off him!

His senses were pounding.

But nothing was found!

"Given the Queen's shrewdness, if she were to truly betray us, would she really tell me?"

Roger was unsure.

He couldn't help but glance at the chubby orange in his arms.

Suddenly.

A sudden thought flashed through his mind.

Roger grabbed the fat cat by the neck. "What is the Queen's current Honored Name?"

The fat cat howled in pain, "What are you doing... ' Ocean Overlord '!"

"The Queen hasn't been called the Queen for many years!"

"Those are outdated terms from the era of Ascended Beings. Only those of us who are favored can still use them because we're used to it..."

Ignoring the fat cat's complaints.

Roger abruptly severed the Super-Sense Link from the "Divine Art Badge"!

The next second.

A low voice sounded in his ear:

"That was a quick reaction."

Roger.

Along with the sound came a square-faced figure.

He was standing ten paces away from Roger.

It looks like a phantom! Vilan appeared.

Everyone looked on with suspicion.

Roger waved for them to step back.

He took a step forward.

"You almost fooled me..."

Roger looked at the other person with a complicated expression.

Are you sure it's just a little short?

Vilan smiled easily.

Roger's heart tightened.

He calmly glanced at the data panel.

"Notification: You have been struck by Vilan's divine spell (Dream Catcher Net)."

"Dream Catcher Net: Immortal-grade divine spell that can perceive the weaknesses of the human heart and weave a net large enough to bury them."

"Warning: You have briefly escaped the Dream Catcher Net, but you have still left a mark on it."

"I hate divine magic!"

Roger muttered a curse under his breath.

"You've done a great job."

Vilan seemed to be in a great mood. "I've tried spells and curses, but in the end, divine magic is the most effective. No one is perfect, is he?"

"Everyone has weaknesses."

"And your weakness seems to be your suspicion—if you can't even completely trust your allies who fight alongside you, then it's no wonder that I've caught a weakness in your mind."

Roger shook his head.

He sensed that he was caught in a soft, giant net.

He was unable to break free using conventional methods.

However, this giant net does not seem to be harmful.

It seems like it was just to trap him! But anyway.

The giant net was still shrinking its range.

Roger felt himself sliding step by step into the abyss.

"Resistance is the most unnecessary thing."

"You are an exceptionally talented Martial Artist, so talented that I have repeatedly tried to befriend you, but you seem to harbor a deep-seated prejudice against me..."

Vilan said with a smile, "Your mistake isn't unforgivable..."

"The power I wield within the merged dimension is beyond your imagination!"

"After all, this place is about to become my planet!"

Roger secretly tried many methods.

After discovering that they could never escape the strange "Dream Catcher Net".

He calmly replied, "Not yet."

"It will be soon."

Vilan took a step forward.

His expression turned slightly serious. "Roger."

"I am now seriously discussing the possibility of cooperation with you."

"I need your help on my journey to break through the established orbits."

Don't you want to go see higher places?

Roger noticed.

When Vilan was speaking.

The rate at which the "Dream Catcher Net" contracts suddenly slows down.

So he nodded and said, "Of course I want to."

"So you should join us."

Vilan solemnly stated, "The Fifth Star Track Orbit should not be subject to internal strife."

It should never be like that.

This re-emergence is about to come to an end.

We should join hands to write a new chapter.

"I am not bluffing or threatening."

I'm just offering a sincere suggestion.

Abandon your narrow-minded sense of right and wrong.

Break free from your preconceived notions and preconceived notions! Yes.

I killed some people.

But those people were destined to be swallowed up by this hideous universe.

What is the reason for all of this?

Because of those high and mighty gods! They are the culprits behind all of this!

He is the one who should truly be held responsible for this!

"You saw what happened to that beluga whale."

You should have understood that moment.

Evil is right above us.

Above the starry sky.

If our useful bodies were to simply sink to the bottom of this universe...

Isn't that a waste? Join us.

At least.

You can also take the people around you with you.

Think about it carefully.

Vilan's illusory image gradually faded away.

A thick white fog obscured everything in Roger's view.

A wave of intense fatigue washed over me.

He has completely lost contact with everyone else!

Before him lay endless spiderwebs and white mist! This was no ordinary divine magic.

Roger couldn't even find a clue to crack it!

He calmed down.

He placed his hands on the giant net.

"Sixth Sense: You realize that Vilan used the ' Genesis Event: New Gods, Old Dreams' to create a mental labyrinth."

The divine magic (Dream Catcher Net) is just a cover.

Its true power originates from the power of the laws unleashed by the evolution of planes...

"The Genesis Event (New Gods, Old Dreams): Legend has it that at the beginning of the birth of the 'spirit' of each planet, it would have a long and strange dream;

You are now in the dream of ' Finnie, the Spirit of the White Whale and the Chaos Star'; here.

Reality and illusion are blended into one.

Only those who have gained the approval of the ' Plane Heart ' can freely weave the content of their dreams.

"The Injured Wolf: Information Update!"

"Sixth Sense: You sense that the Ocean Overlord is also in ' Finnie's Dream'..."

"Sixth Sense: You sense that Vilan swapped your 'Nightmare's' in order to trap you..."

Nightmare: The scene that a person remembers most vividly.

It is also most easily woven into a dream or mental labyrinth to bind the person.

But for strong individuals with unwavering willpower...

Nightmare is nothing but an illusion that can be shattered in the blink of an eye.

But what if you find yourself in the nightmare of a stranger?

We have to be careful in everything we do.

Because you know very little about the other person's inner demons...

"So..."

Am I currently trapped in the Queen's "Nightmare"?

Let me sort this out...

In the white fog.

Roger quickly sorted through the known information.

As it stands now.

At least the following three points can be confirmed.

First.

Vilan did indeed gain the approval of the Plane Heart the Chaotic Plane ahead of schedule.

This guy had the perfect timing and location.

Using the power of the laws unleashed by the "Genesis Event," he and the Sea Serpent Queen were imprisoned in each other's nightmares.

This action actually concealed a lot of information.

For example.

Vilan didn't seem to want to fight him right now.

This means that the former's current situation may not be very good.

It's also possible that he needs to focus on other things.

That's why they resorted to delaying tactics.

second.

Nightmare is simply a kind of mental labyrinth.

There may be an opportunity to break through.

The key point is that Roger really didn't know much about the Sea Serpent Queen.

The Queen probably felt the same way about him.

If both sides remain trapped.

They might actually be 'kidnapped' by Vilan and sent to a higher orbit.

third.

That's what Vilan said.

Damn it, you can't even trust a single phonetic symbol!

"The key is how to break this deadlock!"

Roger sensed the intensity of the nightmare for a while.

It's a little tricky.

If we use brute force to fight back.

That would be tantamount to making enemies of both the Chaotic Plane and the White Whale Plane! "Let's consider outsmarting them first."

Thinking this way.

He took a deep breath.

Suddenly, he concentrated his power in his eyes!

"Eye Technique: Absolute Insight!"...

That instant.

His gaze pierced through all the white mist.

Deep within the spiderweb, in a corner like a maze, crouched a young girl in her prime!

She was wearing a beautiful court dress.

The white lace skirt fell to the ground.

It was covered in a bit of dust.

now.

She was covering her face with her hands.

It emitted a low sobbing sound.

The next second.

Several burly men appeared from the white mist around her! Those men resembled sea wolves.

Its exposed skin resembles the texture of a shark.

They looked extremely ferocious and terrifying! The burly men grinned and surrounded the girl.

At the critical moment.

Roger arrived on horseback.

The Red Moon slashed down repeatedly.

A short while later.

Roger cleaved those burly men into smoke and they vanished into the air.

"Hint: You have killed 4 Mad Shark Race Warrior"

"Your aura radius has been slightly increased."

"Huh?"

Roger was slightly taken aback.

This works?...

Beluga and the Chaotic Plane.

A pale green lake that only those Divine Kingdom Practitioner can reach.

This is the location of the Plane Heart.

It is also the place where the newborn 'spirit' of the white whale and the chaotic star will be born.

As Meteor Shower, symbolizing the power of the upper orbits, bathed the two gradually merging Fallen Plane.

The foundation of planetary power was thus established.

Various "Genesis Event" began to appear one after another.

And when all the Genesis Event reached their climax.

The First Spirit will be born.

Who can merge with that spirit?

Whoever can become the Planet Lord! Even though Vilan had merged with the Plane Heart the Chaotic Plane ahead of time.

But at this moment.

The others present also merged with the Plane Heart of the White Whale Plane.

therefore.

There was a subtle sense of unease and tension in the air at the scene.

Vilan floats above the lake.

He calmly looked at the three people by the lake:...

"You are welcome to challenge me."

"You can also choose to submit."

"Choosing the former takes courage, but it's foolish."

"Choosing the latter demonstrates wisdom, but also cowardice."

There are never perfect choices in this world, are there?

Lakeside.

Shinyo (White Wolf), Moon (Duke), and the Fairy Lord exchanged glances.

Unexpectedly.

They readily chose to surrender! The former took a step forward.

Kneel down on one knee.

The latter followed closely behind.

He lowered his head and remained silent.

Only the Fairy Lord stood there, stunned.

Seeing this scene.

Vilan smiled gently, "A wise move."

"But I'm curious about why you did this."

The God of True Yang coughed and said, "Becoming your Subordinate God is better than being doomed forever."

"On the way here, I discovered that Voldemort, who had come back from the dead, had been killed, while His Highness the Fairy Lord escaped unscathed, but none of that matters..."

"The key is that none of them have condensed a ' Land Divine Kingdom '."

"Because they are the same kind of people as us, there is only one possibility for this phenomenon—they were already your servants the moment you killed or banished them."

"I've never gotten along with this female vampire. Even if we joined forces, we might not have much of a chance of winning. So, of course, I choose to submit!"

The Moon God beside him glared at him fiercely.

However, the idea of God of True Yang was basically accepted.

"Relinquish some of your authority."

Vilan said decisively.

The two did as he said without hesitation.

As Zhenyang said.

They really had no other choice.

Vilan's power was beyond their imagination.

He was not only a far-sighted Divine Kingdom Practitioner.

He is also an outstanding mage.

The two of them witnessed firsthand how Vilan pulled the sea serpent and Roger into the Genesis Event while talking to them!

Making such a choice is not difficult.

Above the lake.

Vilan, who had accepted one-third of the power from each of the two first-generation gods, nodded. "I like intelligent people."

"I even have room for intelligent people with integrity under my command."

"But we will not allow the appearance of utterly wicked idiots."

Upon hearing this...

Both Zhenyang and the moon breathed a sigh of relief.

At Vilan's suggestion.

They all stood up.

The Fairy Lord beside him had already walked over with a grin.

A strong aura of her social status was emanating from her.

Zhenyang's eyelid twitched.

really.

The Fairy Lord and Voldemort have long since taken on the form of Vilan! If you challenge them...

They might not even know how they died!

"Since you are my Subordinate God, you must obey my commands—"

Next.

You two must use all your divine power to infuse this place with the 'ripening magic array'.

We must awaken the ' The First Spirit ' as soon as possible! I also need to deal with those two troublesome guys in the Genesis Event.

"I'm leaving this to you!"

Vilan said seriously.

The true sun and the moon nodded in unison.

It was at this moment.

But then the Fairy Lord said somewhat awkwardly, "What about the two Martial Artist?"

"They are also quite troublesome."

"Especially that bear-like woman..."

"It's difficult for me to keep them from running around on my own."

Vilan frowned.

However, a few seconds later.

He casually said, "You can stay here and help them ripen the fruit."

The three of them looked on with curiosity.

Vilan scoffed, "There are more than just the three of you who are smart in this world."

"Regarding the speed of surrender."

"It'll get here much faster than you!"

The next second.

A strange roar came from above their heads.

An endless black shadow swept across the sky in their field of vision.

They swam towards the location of the two Martial Artist!

"Ancient Evil?"

Zhenyang looked horrified.

"It's now called Wanzu."

After saying that.

Vilan's figure disappeared completely into the emerald green lake.

The colors gradually faded to resemble those of an ink painting on the hills.

Gazing at the terrifying monsters in the distance, which resembled endless centipedes.

Ji Qiu spoke solemnly:

"The enemy this time is very powerful!"

"Let me handle this!"

"Azure Dragon!"

Whoosh! A strong wind rises.

In that world, as beautiful as a landscape painting.

A five-clawed azure dragon coiled repeatedly around Ji Qiu's body.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

The light of the Azure Dragon illuminates the Ji Qiu landscape, a graceful scene unfolds.

Like an immortal.

But the next second.

His expression suddenly turned strange as he looked around. "Wait!"

"Where's the zither?"

Azure Dragon pointed to the figure on the back of the ten-thousand-legged creature. "They're fighting..."

Ji Qiu's face darkened.

With one foot firmly planted on the ground, he flew up with incredible lightness.

The two sides engaged in fierce combat.

On the earth.

Only the fairy Aike and Borei remained, trembling as they watched the sudden, bloody brawl!

Genesis Event: New Gods, Old Dreams.

A corner of white mist.

Roger frowned as he looked at the girl who was squatting on the ground, seemingly mute.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

He asked softly.

"Hint: You have used ' Charm Authority '"

"You used the skill 'pickup line'..."

Negotiations failed!

"Warning: After 10 consecutive failed negotiations, the target's level of dislike for you has increased..."

"Damn it!"

Roger cursed under his breath.

Is this the Sea Serpent Queen going through a rebellious phase? She's so difficult to deal with!

They can't even manage to say hello.

No wonder it's a nightmare.

With his charm.

There are no people in the Prime Material Plane who are impossible to talk to.

It seems to be influenced by the laws of dreams.

It's fine if your attempt to strike up a conversation fails.

But Roger is currently facing a predicament.

The only living person he could find in the maze was this girl who resembled the Sea Serpent Queen.

It's obvious.

The way out of the Nightmare Labyrinth lies within her.

Roger just couldn't find a way to break through! It's like accepting a quest in a game.

A bug was found.

The NPC absolutely refuses to talk to you! How am I supposed to complete this quest?...

"Wait... a mission? A bug?"

Suddenly.

Roger seemed to have thought of something.

"Is the essence of 'Nightmare' simply about how to strike up a conversation with a young girl?"

"But I don't know what happened to the Sea Serpent Queen..."

"There's nothing I can do if she just stays here and acts like a recluse!"

Roger took a couple of steps beside the girl, looking slightly anxious.

The "Mad Shark Race Warrior" from before never appeared again.

This is inevitably a pity.

But Roger had no time to be distracted at that moment.

He can only use his most focused attention to reason and perceive.

"If it really is a bug..."

"Cindy?"

The thought suddenly popped into Roger's mind.

The next second.

His thoughts suddenly sank into the Tinder Pouch.

In a dimly lit cubicle.

Cindy was holding a dusty mirror and cleaning it repeatedly.

"What are you doing?"

Roger asked curiously.

"Ah!"

Cindy was startled.

He immediately stammered:

"Cleaning up."

She was speaking.

She placed a mirror that was about the same height as her down.

Roger's attention was instantly drawn to the mirror.

That is...

A piece of loot from the Endless Sea Abyss of Qoonan!
