Chen Ji's gaze was cold and sharp.

He had discovered that no matter where he went, he would not return to the previous dream level, but would instead appear in another dream.

In other words...

He kept jumping back and forth in the same spot.

His understanding of dreams was far inferior to that of Nightmare, and he had hardly ever explored this field. Only now did he realize that his understanding of dimensions and space was still superficial.

Perhaps...

After escaping this place, he needs to return to Kamar-Taj and read some books about dreams.

Certainly.

The prerequisite is that he can get Raven out of this place alive!

Nightmare rode a black horse, wielding a longsword. His grotesque mask revealed a cold expression. He remained standing in the same spot, unaffected by the shifting planes.

Seem...

It's not that he's moving; it's that the dream is moving!

This Dimension Lord, as the [Avatar of Dreams], has occupied the Nightmare Dimension for tens of thousands of years, and his power is comparable to that of the Skyfather!

Looking at Chen Ji's actions, his face showed even more ridicule and contempt.

"It's no use."

"List."

"You'll only wear yourself out. When your strength is depleted, you'll fall into the Lost Realm and become my slave."

"May you suffer my torment for all eternity!"

"You want to take over my dimension?"

"You're really bold."

Nightmare smiled coldly, his expression arrogant.

If it weren't for the Magic Barrier erected by Agamotto, the Demon Lord and Dimension Demon God would have already invaded the real world.

Ancient One...

With just a Time Stone, one can only maneuver around a Dimension Lord, but cannot destroy it.

Because Dimension Lord themselves almost transcend time.

We have grasped the rules of the universe and understood its Mystery!

In the realm of Nightmare, he is an invincible being, comparable to the Omnipotent Skyfather, capable of controlling all dreams!

Certainly.

This kind of manipulation is not without limits.

It's like a house; you can decorate it however you like, easily move the furniture around, and you're the master of the room!

But you absolutely wouldn't dare to demolish a load-bearing wall!

A load-bearing wall is the Fulcrum in terms of spatial dimensions.

For example, the World Tree that evolved into Nine Realms.

Different dreams have different the Fulcrum; these are manifestations of spiritual will and the embodiment of the emotions of all beings.

Ultimately...

Dreams originate from intelligent life.

Intelligent life itself represents the Fulcrum.

Certainly.

Even if Chen Ji racked his brains, he probably wouldn't realize this. Nightmare revealed an evil smile; he was now invincible.

Once Chen Ji's strength is exhausted, we can take him down in one fell swoop without breaking a sweat!

Even...

He can also possess Chen Ji's body, take over everything from Chen Ji, and go to the real world!

To dismantle the Three Sanctums from within!

"List..."

"I can't breathe..."

Raven's lips turned purple.

She lingered in the Deep Dream for far too long.

Even though she had awakened the X-Factor and her physique was different from ordinary people, she still felt exhausted and couldn't run anymore.

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

Looking at Raven's pale face, he realized the seriousness of the problem. Perhaps he could stay in the Deep Dream, but Raven could not. She had no magic power and did not understand the concept of the soul.

Obviously.

As time went by, she was influenced by her subconscious and came to believe that Deep Dream, like the Deep, were oxygen-free and fraught with danger.

Chen Ji can restrain his Mind Stone, control his brain's thinking, and prevent dreams from affecting his mental state.

[The Heart Overcomes All!]

This is not just talk.

His Mind Stone power far surpasses that of his soul.

"This is troublesome."

Chen Ji immense pressure.

Even the fully armored Blood Armor dissipated somewhat.

He seems to have underestimated both the Nightmare and the Dream World.

Before this, he had never imagined that the Nightmare would suddenly appear and drag him into the Lost Realm, catching him completely off guard.

How can one escape the dream?

Chen Ji held the crimson greatsword, watching as various scenes were forcibly pieced together like slices, forming a magnificent and magical Deep Dream.

He keenly observed that, in this special Deep Dream, the dream was dependent on the dreamer.

The dream he was in also belonged to a dreamer.

More likely, it's a Dimension Lord! An Ancient Gods!

"You actually trespassed into this place?"

"... I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky..."

Nightmare's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Looking at the bizarre, Hell scenery, he immediately realized the true identity of the dreamer!

The two found themselves in an environment where a dark, swirling mist hung in the air, the ground resembled black frozen earth, the air was thick with the aura of the dead, and thorny bushes grew wildly...

Nightmare recognized this place at a glance!

"This is--"

"It was her dream?!"

"How could she be dreaming at a time like this?!"

Nightmare felt a jolt of fear.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Ji, in his panic and haphazard actions, actually stumbled into her dream!

"She?"

Who are you referring to?

Chen Ji's eyes flashed.

The Hell scene before him felt strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Then, in the dim mist, a series of crisp footsteps suddenly rang out, and a bewitching figure clad in green, with long legs and flowing black hair, slowly emerged from the mist.

Her face was pale, her emerald green pupils revealed a hint of cold beauty, and her whole body exuded an immense aura of death, like a demon stepping out of the underworld.

"Nightmare."

How dare you intrude into my dream?

"And you even brought two ants into my dream?"

Are you provoking me?

A haughty, arrogant female voice rang out.

Upon seeing this figure appear, Chen Ji showed no joy, but his pupils suddenly contracted, finding it utterly unbelievable.

Hela!

"I didn't intrude into your dream; I've been standing here the whole time."

"It's him!"

"He's the one who brought me into your dream!"

"He is the Acting Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, and the next Sorcerer Supreme!"

"Join me and kill him!"

"I will take his place and kill Odin for you. What do you say?"

Nightmare's face was grim.

Facing another Dimension Lord, he showed none of his arrogance.

Everyone here is Dimension Lord, so the difference in strength is not significant. Dimension Lord also have a greater control over dreams than other insignificant beings.

Moreover, Hela, is also Dimension Lord belonging to the top tier. She is the queen of Niflheim and the eldest daughter of All-Father Odin!

Only Nightmare would be insane to oppose her!

"The Acting Sorcerer Supreme at Kamar-Taj...?"

"List?"

"That's really interesting."

"I heard you established a Rune Academy in the Asgard? And are responsible for teaching Simplified Runes?"

"Even Odin trusts you?"

Hela's eyes flashed.

She immediately looked at Chen Ji, who had mistakenly entered her dream.

The Death Goddess also dreams, and generally speaking, ordinary people cannot enter her dreams.

However, Chen Ji's attempt to escape the Deep Dream unexpectedly led to their premature encounter.

Perhaps this is fate's arrangement...

How do you know my name?

Chen Ji looked puzzled.

"Is it strange that the Asgardians, after they die, come to Niflheim and learn of your existence through the voices of the dead?"

"I must say, I'm very interested in your background, especially your mastery of Simplified Runes..."

Hela was arrogant and looked down on everyone.

Immediately, she smoothed her hair with both hands, instantly forming a strangely shaped Crown of Thorns. With a slender hand, she reached out and grasped a pitch-black sword.

This is the 'Night Sky Sword' formed from the power of the undead!

She was imprisoned by Odin in Niflheim, but she has never been idle.

With her power, she has already conquered this Hell!

Even within the Hell Lord Council, they hold a place!

[Name]: Hela Odinsdottir

[Identity]: Queen of the Underworld

[Entry]: Hela's Power (Red), Death Goddess (Gold), Odin's Eldest Daughter (Gold).

[Hela's Power] (Red): As Odin's eldest daughter and the ruler of Niflheim, she has already mastered even greater power. Once she steps into Asgard, her divine power is destined to be unmatched.

[Death Goddess] (Gold): She can control the life and death of the gods in the Asgard. Her touch can also kill mortals. She is equivalent to the embodiment of the concept of death in the Nine Realms.

[Odin's eldest daughter] (Gold): As one of Odin's children, she inherited the most of Odinforce, has the blood of the god-king flowing through her veins, and knows many cosmic Mystery and magical knowledge.

"... Hela."

"Truly worthy of being Odin's eldest daughter."

"This panel is even more magnificent than Thor's."

"It seems... she and Nightmare don't get along, which is something we can use!"

A thought flashed through Chen Ji's mind.

They astutely spotted an opportunity.

However, he suddenly realized that he had deciphered the Primal Runes and was considered Aesir by Odin. Therefore, after his death...

Will the soul also fall into Niflheim?

Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!

How could he possibly be dead?

Chen Ji quickly banished this absurd idea from his mind.

"Your Hela"

"I have long heard of your name. Odin has gone too far. You pacified the Nine Realms for him, only to be discarded after you have served your purpose."

"You should have been the King of Asgard, ruling over the Nine Realms."

Chen Ji smiled.

Without hesitation, he showered her with compliments.

What he said was half true and half false; he had long disapproved of Odin's behavior.

"Oh?"

"You really think so?"

Hela's beautiful eyes lit up.

Having lived in Niflheim for three thousand years, she has always reflected on her actions, but she doesn't believe she did anything wrong!

"Hela..."

He's lying! He's cheating!

"If you and I join forces, he will surely die!"

Nightmare looked tense.

How could he tolerate the cooked duck flying away?

"Nightmare."

Did I give you permission to speak?

"This is my dream! You've offended me by being in my dream!"

Hela frowned.

Immediately, he swung his right hand out, and the Night Sky Sword like a bolt of lightning, drawing a straight and swift trajectory, aiming straight for Nightmare's chest!

Nightmare parried with his sword.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes!

This Death Goddess really infuriated him!

But he couldn't do whatever he wanted in Hela's dreams.

Because...

The Death Goddess is on par with him.

It's a situation where neither side can really do anything about the other.

However.

There was an Acting Sorcerer Supreme present!

Whoever this Acting Sorcerer Supreme supports will win!

"List..."

"What incredible luck! I've actually stumbled into Hela's dream. Even if I'd stumbled into Mephisto's or Satannish's dreams, I wouldn't be in such a passive position."

Nightmare cursed silently in his heart.

He was completely baffled!

Isn't this just too much of a coincidence?

"Nightmare."

"Get out of here now!"

You are not welcome in my dreams.

Hela's voice is cool and aloof, like that of a queen, and she truly is a queen!

"Wait!"

"List!"

"I won't let you get away with this!"

After hesitating for a moment, Nightmare decided to leave, riding away on his black horse.

The figure quickly disappeared from Hela's dream.

Hela's dreams are almost identical to Niflheim, because she has been suppressed for three thousand years and has almost forgotten the outline of Asgard.

She had always wanted to leave this awful place.

Return to Asgard and inherit the throne that rightfully belongs to her!

"List."

"I hope you won't play tricks on me. Do you know the price of playing tricks on me?"

Hela smiled.

Her cold, pale face, tinged with a sickly pallor, resembled that of a mad demon king, every move brimming with murderous intent.

She did not readily believe Chen Ji.

She had already witnessed the coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world.

Only...

She was really looking forward to seeing what Chen Ji could do for her!

For example, poisoning Odin!

If Odin doesn't die, Hela won't emerge.

Odin himself is a kind of seal!

Even the God of Fear, Kull, was personally suppressed by Odin and imprisoned in Midgard, in the Mariana Trench.

Once Hela breaks free of her seal, it will inevitably trigger Ragnarok in Asgard.

Kull will also unleash Fear Source Incident!

Both are just as dangerous as an Infinity War.

With the Celestial Convergence soon, Chen Ji also had serious doubts about whether Hela would be born prematurely.

But Hela may not know the exact coordinates of the Celestial Convergence.

The Celestial Convergence will only last for about seven or eight minutes. Without specific coordinates, you'll have to miss this cosmic Wonder!

"Teasing?"

"I have no reason to mock you, Hela."

"I just accidentally wandered into your dream and had no intention of disturbing your sleep."

"As for Simplified Runes..."

"Very simple."

"The 24 Primal Runes, any Rune of which can stand alone and unleash astonishing magical power."

"And I also happened to obtain one of the First Rune."

"This was given to me by Loki, the Story God."

Chen Ji smiled.

Immediately, he opened his palm, and a Distortion Rune appeared on his palm.

Its form constantly shifts, sometimes transforming into Pictographic Script, sometimes into Primal Runes, sometimes into ancient Egypt hieroglyphs, sometimes into ancient Sanskrit...

This is the first Rune mark that God Loki, discovered in the flow of time, and it is suspected to be the first character created by Cangjie!

Therefore, Cangjie became the embodiment of writing and was hailed as the progenitor of Eastern writing.

Various writing systems have also emerged around the world.

However, Chen Ji was unable to decipher the meaning of this First Rune, nor could he grasp its inherent power.

Maybe...

Hela, can trigger his inspiration!
