Nightmare Lord Nightmare's Entry Panel

Wanda's expression was a mixture of anger and joy.

This was the sweetest dream she had ever had.

In a dream.

Her parents are still alive, and she has started her own family, having given birth to twins with Chen Ji.

They were absolutely blissful.

The appearance of this dream also healed her inner obsession and the lingering pain of childhood trauma to some extent.

Even after returning to reality, a sweet smile remained on her lips as she tightly embraced a broad, strong arm, savoring the rare tranquility.

Wanda.

"If you're happy, then I'm happy."

"Go to sleep."

The night is still long.

Chen Ji smiled indulgently.

It must be admitted that the power of the Sheep Talisman in the Dream World should not be underestimated.

This also made him realize the immense power of Nightmare, the Lord of the Nightmare Dimension!

Nightmare.

The ability to traverse the Dream World, influence reality through dreams, and ignore Magic Barrier barriers makes it virtually impossible to defend against.

Even...

On the eve of the dream's end, he sensed the arrival of a powerful will, no less than that of Ymir and Cangjie, which seemed to have discovered his actions!

Perhaps, this is the gaze of Nightmare!

Almost all Dimension Lord value their respective dimensions more than their own lives, and absolutely cannot tolerate or condone other beings controlling their dimensions!

"Could it be...?"

"Has the Nightmare discovered me?"

"Will I encounter Nightmare again when I enter the dream again?"

Why did he discover my presence?

"This is truly outrageous..."

Chen Ji's eyes were sharp.

He did not doubt his vigilance.

Because [the Heart Overcomes All]!

His intuition foresaw the future!

Perhaps Nightmare, Mephisto...

All Dimension Lord are selecting their respective agents.

The Entry Panel for these Dimension Lord should be no weaker than that of the Sorcerer Supreme.

He was also pondering who should be bestowed the Sheep Talisman upon...

This talisman can cause the soul to leave the body and even send dreams!

Will killing creatures in the Dream World grant him Luck Value?

Chen Ji secretly guessed.

Simply...

Why not give it a try?

The night was deep outside the window, and the employees of the Vought Group were all fast asleep.

Restore your energy and vitality during sleep.

Chen Ji smiled slightly.

Immediately, he grasped the Sheep Talisman again, his soul left his body, and his physical body fell into a state of dormancy.

He easily passed through the wall and arrived at Mystique's room next door. Looking at Raven wrapped tightly in a thin blanket, Chen Ji's spirit stood in mid-air and also sensed the existence of the dream.

The structure of the soul and matter are completely different.

Chen Ji also checked the Entry Panel, and to his surprise, he found that his Entry Panel was completely unchanged, and all the entries were still usable!

It even includes [Omega-Level]!

This greatly increased his confidence.

Even if you encounter Nightmare, you have the ability to extricate yourself from it and not be controlled by Nightmare!

The next second.

Chen Ji swooped down and entered Raven's dream, where he saw a dazzling scene of light and shadow, with countless unique landscapes and buildings being reset in the Dream World.

The Dream World was completely different from his understanding of dimensions and other worlds.

Because dreams are based on the subconscious.

Reality is sculpted through thought.

Almost everything in the Dream World has no fixed form, because the dreamer's subconscious is constantly changing.

Regardless of the dream, it must follow established rules and cannot be acted upon arbitrarily.

Otherwise, if it causes the dreamer to wake up or be stimulated, the dreamer will awaken, and the Dream World will be shattered!

"Was this considered dream theft?"

"I wonder what Raven's obsession is..."

Chen Ji continued to observe.

This is the scene.

This reminded him of a film he had seen in his previous life.

Inception.

Inception divides the dream world into five layers.

The deeper the layers of a dream, the farther away the distance between human consciousness and the real world becomes.

Once you fall into the Lowest Dream, you enter Lost Realm, as if your consciousness has fallen into the Deep, and no matter how much you struggle, you can never surface.

That's why people in a vegetative state (vegetative state) can occur—their bodily functions are normal, but they just can't wake up!

This precisely means that the soul has fallen into the Lost Realm, becoming a plaything of Nightmare!

To be precise, Nightmare travels through dreams via the Lost Realm, and only dreams from which he can never wake up are his true passion!

Furthermore, the closer he gets to the Lost Realm, the stronger his magic becomes, enabling him to easily overturn everything in the Dream World, making him almost Immortality!

In short.

The Lost Realm is both the Fulcrum and the end point of all dreams.

The ultimate destination and source of all dreams!

This demonstrates just how powerful Nightmare, the Dimension Lord, truly is.

Even when Chen Ji obtained the Mystic Statue, he secretly speculated that it might belong to Nightmare!

"This is..."

"The Eiffel Tower?"

"Paris?"

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

Soon, he saw Mystique's Dream World completed.

An Eiffel Tower rises from the ground.

The streets were teeming with people, extremely crowded, as if they were celebrating and cheering.

Raven transformed into a blonde woman, blending into the crowd, her beautiful eyes filled with boundless hatred, her right hand in her pocket, gripping a delicate pistol.

Seeing this scene.

Chen Ji seemed to be deep in thought.

Does this seem to be from the era of the 1973 peace agreement?

It is also the turning point between the 'New History' and the 'Old History' of the X-Men universe!

She impersonated a Vietnamese military officer and shot and killed Bolivar Trask at the meeting!

This has led to extreme hatred of Mutant by governments around the world!

Furthermore, during this time, Mystique left a blood sample at the crime scene, which was discovered by Trask Industries in the distant future...

In the present day, when Chen Ji is living, scientists at Trask Industries have developed the Ultimate Sentinel Robots!

They almost wiped out the Mutant race!

Turn out to be...

Is this what Raven cares about most?

Was she regretting it? Or...?

Chen Ji remains unknown.

But as he watched the plot unfold, his brows gradually furrowed.

Mystique's motive for shooting Bolivar was that she saw Mutant's portrait at Trask Industries.

Black King, Red Devil, Riptide...

They all became experimental specimens for Trask Industries.

"Raven should realize that different choices can lead to different futures..."

"Perhaps this will also lessen her hatred."

Chen Ji's eyes flickered slightly.

Soon, during the Paris Peace Conference, Mystique revealed her true form and pointed her gun directly at Bolivar!

The founder of Trask Industries!

Pulling the trigger will ensure his utter demise and allow Black King and the others to rest in peace.

However.

A figure appeared out of thin air.

He blocked Raven's path.

"Raven."

"You still have a choice."

Chen Ji looked serious.

His appearance directly in the Dream World surprised even Raven.

"List...?"

"What's going on? Where am I?"

Raven's resolve wavered.

Someone who shouldn't have been there appeared in front of her, immediately triggering her defenses!

Moment.

The Dream World began to crumble, collapsing gradually from the outside in.

This also means that Raven is about to wake up!

But...

Chen Ji waved his hand, immediately halting the trend and allowing Raven to remain conscious while still in the Dream World!

Such incredible ability could only come from someone who had already Perfected Sage!

I'm afraid even that's impossible!

"List..."

Am I dreaming?

"You've intruded into my dream?"

Raven finally realized what was happening.

"That's right."

"This is Dream World constructed by your subconscious."

"And I want you to see another kind of future, a future without the murder of Bolivar..."

Chen Ji's gaze was intense.

Then, he let the dream flow again.

This time, realizing she was in a dream, Raven immediately dropped her weapon and jumped out of the window to escape!

Her image was also seen by the general public. Raven, dragging her tired body, changed her appearance again and disappeared into the crowd.

Her leniency left a completely different impression on the high-ranking officials and dignitaries present at the meeting.

Turn out to be...

Mutant aren't just pure monsters?

There is also... humanity?

The plot of the Dream World has taken a major turn. Although it did not bring any feedback to Chen Ji, it caused a hint of shock to flash in Mystique's eyes.

She!

He's being treated like a savior!

Similar to Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King., and Che Guevara— these are all spiritual icons...

Even the X-Men, formed by Professor X and Magneto, officially stepped out from behind the scenes and were hailed as superheroes by the public, even receiving audiences with their successive leaders...

"Is this another kind of future?"

"Why..."

"Will this development happen?"

Raven and Chen Ji stood side by side in the Void, watching the evolution of the Dream World, their beautiful eyes trembling in disbelief.

After all, in her view, only by killing Bolivar could the world be truly terrified, preventing the Mutant's situation from deteriorating further.

But that's the irony of fate.

Chen Ji did not interfere with the operation of this dream at all.

This is the future of spontaneous evolution!

Fate and the future are inherently unpredictable.

"Raven."

"Force cannot solve everything."

"Force only breeds fear."

Chen Ji's words were full of profound meaning.

He realized this very early on.

In other words...

Humans have stress responses, and the malice towards Mutant in the real world stems from these stress responses.

Raven could assassinate Bolivar, she could certainly assassinate world leaders as well, which would inevitably lead to widespread fear and insecurity.

In order to protect themselves, they cannot allow Mutant to rise to power.

"But this is just a dream..."

Raven smiled wryly.

She cannot go back to 1973 and change her past self.

After all, she was standing alone in the fog, feeling lost as well.

"I'm showing you another future not to make you doubt yourself, but so you can understand that your every action can influence the evolution of the future."

Don't dwell on past mistakes.

"Raven."

"Sokovia and the Vought Group will surely earn Mutant respect."

Chen Ji smiled.

"I see."

Raven nodded secretly.

The way she looked at Chen Ji carried a hint of allure and submissiveness.

It seemed that... no matter what Chen Ji did in the Dream World, she would not resist.

But Chen Ji suddenly narrowed his eyes.

A massive, surging black aura burst forth from the cracks in the Dream World, like a flood bursting its banks, and madly surged into Raven's dream!

Wherever this black aura went, it immediately engulfed everything. It had a strong corrosive property and directly destroyed everything. The entire Dream World also presented a magical color like slices!

Then, Chen Ji immediately saw a tall and imposing figure riding a black horse, wearing warrior armor, with long hair flowing in the wind.

They barged directly into Raven's dream!

This uninvited guest wore a ghost mask, and the eyes beneath the mask were filled with evil and cruelty, revealing a truly ferocious nature.

Even the mount beneath him seemed like a ghost, its eyes burning with malevolent flames as it coldly stared at him with utter malice!

"You've trespassed into my territory..."

Who are you?

A hoarse, somber voice echoed softly.

This Dream World was instantly frozen in time; everything stopped, as if it had been tragically frozen!

Even the creatures in the dream were controlled by this uninvited guest, turning their heads away and aging rapidly like zombies.

"Nightmare?"

"You were observing me even in Wanda's dreams?"

Chen Ji felt a chill run down his spine.

This was the first time he had ever come into close contact with a Dimension Lord!

Nightmare Lord!

Nightmare!

He immediately checked the Nightmare Entry Panel.

[Name]: Edward Haberdash

[Identity]: Nightmare Lord

[Entry]: Invincible in Dreams (Gold), Avatar of Dreams (Gold).

[Invincible in Dreams] (Gold): When he is in the Dream World, his strength is almost omnipotent, but when he leaves the Nightmare Dimension, his power will weaken.

[Avatar of Dreams] (Gold): He is the embodiment of dreams and imagination. He can be defeated but not destroyed. He can also absorb the fearful emotions from nightmares to further enhance his magic.

"Hiss!"

"Double gold panel?"

"The Avatar of Dreams... nearly omnipotent, Invincible in Dreams?"

"Are all Dimension Lord on par with Odin?"

Chen Ji's pupils contracted slightly.

He immediately sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

Because he is in Dream World!

This is Nightmare's territory; to rashly start a war with Nightmare...

Then, Nightmare will have the advantage of timing and location!

This Dimension Lord's figure was similar to that of Odin, the king of the gods, exuding an extremely dangerous aura, with bloodlust and ferocity in his eyes!

"Any creature that invades my territory... deserves to die."

"No matter who you are, you make me extremely angry."

Nightmare sneered.

Immediately, he gripped a long sword tightly, the blade billowing thick black smoke and carrying a violent force, and slashed it towards Chen Ji!

In an instant!

Chen Ji's eyes widened.

Within his pupils, a colossal sword aura grew larger and larger, closing in and hurtling straight at his face!

However, due to the Icebreaker Hammer, he was unable to enter the Dream World, and his physical body remained dormant in reality.

Chen Ji's only ability is Secret Art Magic!
