Back to Where It All Began!

"Nightmare, you should thank me."

"Because every evolution you've undergone is because of me. Remember, it was I who made you kill Nairasojin, which is why you have Absolute Darkness and this body you have now."

"And now, you stand before me once again, and once again receive my gift."

"So, what's wrong with that?"

The voice of 004 kept echoing in the nightmare's ears, and he clutched his head, his pupils wide, shaking his head incessantly.

"Being manipulated by you to kill Nairasojin is the thing I regret most..."

"Even though he was later resurrected, I killed him with my own hands. He has no reason to forgive me, and I can no longer face him. I know that!"

"I've been using the ability I gained by stepping on his corpse ever since, but I've never used it on him again."

Nightmare howled, its expression somewhat deranged, while 004's voice continued to echo, "So what?"

"Love, family, and friendship are all worthless in my eyes. If you rely on these things to live, then you will spend your whole life living for others."

"Come on, Nightmare, let go of the past and live for yourself."

"What are you hesitating for? Aren't you tired of being weak and powerless?"

"You clearly crave power deep down, yet you repeatedly resist me. Isn't that a contradiction?"

"You want power, I can give you power."

"Take a closer look and see how powerful your Mental Power is right now."

Gradually, Nightmare lowered his hands. He looked at his own hands, and his shadow stretched infinitely at that moment, turning into a twisted and chaotic monster.

However, the Nightmare's Mental Power underwent a certain transformation.

His Mental Power was corrupted, turning from brilliant blue to black, like a polluted ocean.

This Mental Power is powerful, extremely polluting, and destructive!

Most importantly, it's fourth-order!

It's fourth-order Mental Power!

Nightmare's lips gradually cracked open, and he stretched out his hands, reaching a level of Mental Power he had never achieved before!

He felt that his Mental Power had increased by more than a hundred times!

Compared to his previous meager Mental Power, his current Mental Power is vast and boundless, reaching the upper Mental Power of the fourth tier!

"Hahaha... hahahaha, power! This is the power I've been longing for!!"

After receiving the Mental Power bestowed by 004, Nightmare's appearance also changed slightly. His body trembled, and flesh sprouted from his arms, turning into two blades.

As the nightmare landed, his breathing became irregular, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

He glanced at the Dragon Sui coiled up in front of him, then turned and left without looking back, rushing towards the Outer Sea Continent.

"Go, Nightmare."

"Go back to where you came from; you were once a member of the Chaos Splitter."

"Back to 009's side."

World Calendar Year 435.

Nightmare arrived on the Outer Sea Continent, stood before 009, and vowed to return to chaos.

But 009 sneered and immediately ordered him to be killed.

"I know where Qin Leng is, and I also know how to enter the Hell Space where Qin Leng is. I can take you into the gates of hell."

"Furthermore, I also know what Qin Leng's weaknesses are."

009 paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Continue."

Nightmare knelt on one knee. "Qin Leng is under mental control and is now powerless. In addition, I know his weakness, so killing Qin Leng is not difficult."

"The difficulty lies in finding Qin Leng's crown."

"After advancing to the fifth rank, Qin Leng gained the ability to control space, which is the ability he can currently use."

"The Hell Space is divided into nine levels, each of which is not connected to the others, but each has an entrance."

"Qin Leng hid his crown in the deepest space, which is the Nine Hells. No one knows how to get to the Nine Hells."

"Unless Qin Leng opens the spatial gate on his own initiative."

"Besides, Qin Leng currently has several assistants: Sequence 005 Wall Breaker, Sequence 016 Frost King, Sequence 036 Isis, Sequence 040 Golden King, and Sequence 052 Pioneer Kalen."

"Including me and Lin Feng, Qin Leng, and the person hiding behind Qin Leng who controls him, there are nine people in total."

Upon hearing his words, 009 suddenly realized, "No wonder, no wonder I couldn't find 005, he actually ran off with Qin Leng."

"Sequence 016 Frost King, ha, he really will stop at nothing to deal with me."

"Isis aside for now, you're saying the Golden King isn't dead?"

Nightmare: "That's right. Because Isis has the ability to resurrect, and you failed to obtain the crown of the Golden King, he was resurrected by Isis."

009 frowned. "But if I remember correctly, the Golden King should have been shot by me. Is Isis able to heal that wound?"

Nightmare shook his head. "No, but the Golden King's life is indeed hanging by a thread."

"Because there is no external force to suppress his own realm, his Fifth Tier Lower Rank abilities were released after his resurrection, so he has now been sealed and does not pose a threat for the time being."

009 looked down at Nightmare and said, "How can I believe what you say?"

Nightmare raised his head. "Lin Feng's defection to Chaos was also my idea. We'll find out when Lin Feng returns."

009 shook his head. "That's a real pity. Lin Feng is not in his right mind right now, so he probably can't verify what you said."

Hearing this, Nightmare lowered his head. "You can test me by any means necessary. If I tell even half a lie, you can just kill me."

009 got up and went to Nightmare's side. "Nightmare, to be honest, I've never looked at you properly."

"Whether your coming to see me today is part of Qin Leng's plan, I can't tell, and I don't have time to deal with Qin Leng right now."

With the battle raging fiercely, 009 had no time to concern himself with Qin Leng's situation.

"I can trust you this once, but your crown must be kept by my side."

Nightmare looked at 009, "My crown is in Qin Leng's hands."

009 narrowed her eyes. "So that means your life is now in Qin Leng's hands. What will you do if he wants to kill you?"

Nightmare said, "That's impossible."

"Qin Leng has been brainwashed. He will not actively kill any sequence or even any life."

"Even if you hit him, he probably won't fight back."

Qin Leng is a fifth-level cultivator. How could someone brainwash him to this extent? Just who is this person?

Is it Odin?

Wrong...

009 suddenly remembered someone, "Could it be 007?"

"She stole two of my crowns and then disappeared. If Qin Leng was the mastermind behind it all, then it all makes sense."

"007 traded those two crowns for a bottle of Forbidden Potion, which led to Qin Leng being controlled by him. And given 007's idiotic personality, he could indeed say such things."

"A world without death and killing, hahaha, that makes sense, that makes all of it, I'm starting to understand everything!"
