Reflecting the Nightmare Dimension! Building the Painted Realm Universe!

Nightmare Dimension.

Architecture and landscapes from different eras have been forcibly pieced together.

It resembles a magical canvas with unpredictable and ever-changing waves.

The light of utter defeat shone down.

Collapsed city ruins and dilapidated building structures are almost everywhere.

Furthermore, there are spatial rifts connecting different dreams, appearing and disappearing in an instant.

If you are not careful, you may fall into the Ancient Gods' Dream. Once you lose your way, you will become a puppet of the Ancient Gods!

So...

The concept of the Lost Realm only exists in the Nightmare Dimension.

This is equivalent to another form of 'Void'.

But it is not a path to time.

It leads to dreams.

Chen Ji glanced around.

Immediately, he saw ahead, standing tall like a tower amidst the gray mist.

A gothic-style, ancient, Black City!

This is Nightmare Castle!

"List."

Loki has disappeared.

Tony's eyes flashed.

They discovered that Undead Loki, had vanished without a trace!

As for his promise, whether it's true or false...

Almost no one dared to gamble!

After all, the title of God of Mischief is far more famous than Loki's real name.

"There's really no need to care about Loki."

"List."

"From where you are, is there any way to perceive the Dream of the Celestials?"

Stephen asked.

Celestials.

It has been sleeping deep within the Earth's core for a long time.

Since he is asleep, he must be dreaming!

They even use mirages to project dreams into reality!

The spatial rifts that are everywhere before us may lead to the Dream of the Celestials!

As long as the concept of 'death' exists in the Dream of the Celestials.

Therefore, he was destined to die!

"The Cosmic Celestial..."

"What is the reason for its existence, and what species is it?"

Beast Hank pushed up his glasses.

He had been pondering the true nature of the Celestials.

If the X-Factor comes from the Celestials.

Doesn't that mean the Celestials can suppress Mutant?

To disable the X-Factor's abilities...?

"Celestials."

"This is the primordial incarnation of the universe, a creation of the First Firmament, clad in colorful armor; no one has ever seen its true appearance."

"It might not even have a physical form at all."

"The Supreme Celestial Arishem created his own kind through a clever method."

"I believe it's based on Black Water."

"Furthermore, the material that makes up the Celestials Armor might be Vibranium...!"

Chen Ji then shared his opinion.

Vibranium!

From deep space.

But how could Vibranium have fallen to Earth for no reason?

Perhaps, these were fragments of a meteorite produced during the collision when the embryo of Celestials being descended to Earth!

"His entire body is covered in Vibranium armor?"

"If the Celestials die, isn't that roughly equivalent to...?"

"You have Infinity Vibranium?"

Tony's eyes lit up.

Vibranium!

This is an extremely rare substance!

One gram is worth $100,000!

If we could use Vibranium to create an Earth Armor, we could keep the Chitauri at bay even if they invaded again from beyond space!

But...

All of this was Chen Ji's speculation.

Without seeing the Celestials, there will never be an answer!

Furthermore, Chen Ji spearheaded the establishment of the Illuminati and personally implemented the Dreamslayer Celestial Plan.

Even if one kills Celestials, one cannot touch it.

Tony blinked.

How exactly should he persuade Chen Ji to share the Vibranium with him?

He was so poor he only had money left!

Chen Ji was not short of money.

The 'Jotun Spring' produced by the Vought Group, as well as the TikTok platform, can bring substantial returns.

Furthermore, the Vought Group also holds shares in Baron Zemo, making it practically a state-owned enterprise in Sokovia!

This made Tony's face show worry.

"I'll give it a try."

Chen Ji nodded.

Immediately radiate spiritual awareness.

Immediately, his consciousness transformed into an invisible torrent of energy, enveloping the entire Nightmare Dimension.

However, he was unable to cross the spatial rift, perceive the scene within it, or distinguish the location of the Dream of the Celestials.

It seems...

He must capture Nightmare alive!

Only then can they force the whereabouts of the Dream of the Celestials to be revealed.

After all, Nightmare, as the lord of the Nightmare Dimension, has a far greater control and understanding of the Nightmare Dimension than Chen.

He would not trespass into the Ancient Gods' Dream.

Otherwise, he would have lost his life long ago; how could he have become a king and tyrant?

This is like virtual reality.

Nightmare is just a GM.

He can only manipulate the Dream Power within the Dream Dimension; the laws that transcend the Dream Power are called—

Dream!

"Stephen."

Are you ready?

"I hope you can become the lord of the Dream Dimension."

"Oversee all the dreams in the Multiverse for me."

Chen Ji smiled.

He stated his thoughts directly.

Before he could finish speaking...

Wow!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Beast Hank, Thor, Jean Grey, Dark Phoenix, Tony...

Disbelief flashed across their faces.

Chen hasn't even defeated the Nightmare yet, and he's already dividing up the spoils?

Isn't this a bit premature?

"It would be my great honor."

"I can also relocate my Strange Academy to this place."

Stephen's expression was reserved.

He knew all too well just how extraordinary the power Chen Ji possessed was.

The true upper limit of the concept of 'knowledge' is almost unpredictable, and may even be limitless!

After all, he had lived for seven thousand years, witnessed the changing times, and observed the vicissitudes of life, yet he had never heard of...

The existence of the God of Knowledge!

It is evident that even in the Infinite Multiverse, there is only one God of Knowledge!

And this God of Knowledge stood before him, the Source of Magic.

"List."

"What you just described as a reflection..."

What's going on?

Thor suspiciously.

Dimensional Reflection?

Even Odin, the king of the gods, could not do this!

Doesn't that imply that Chen Ji's Painted Realm Dimension can, in essence, encompass diversity?

Like an upgraded version of the Nine Realms?

Thor's tiger eyes gleamed with a bright light.

He wants the answer to his question!

"That's right."

"My dimension can accommodate multiple dimensions."

"I'm planning to project the Nightmare Dimension into my Painted Realm as well!"

Chen Ji smiled.

Immediately, he once again expanded the Painted Realm, forcibly covering reality!

A colorful puzzle piece of the world appeared out of nowhere in the Lost Realm.

It seems out of place, yet it feels perfectly natural!

It's as if this is how it was supposed to be!

"Reflecting the Nightmare Dimension?"

"Are you really capable of doing this?"

"Are you the master of the Painted Realm, the master of Cancerous Mutation, and the master of nightmares?"

Tony was shocked.

Chen Ji alone has controlled three major dimensions!

Is this really something that secret arts can accomplish?

"My limits don't just go up to three dimensions..."

Chen Ji's eyes gleamed.

He has six Gold Entry!

And he can reflect six dimensions!

The Cancerous Universe granted him the Cancerous Force, and the Dream Dimension will also grant him the Dream-Taming Power!

By using the [God Among Men] entry, one can acquire both powers and transform them into their own magic!

"So..."

"You never intended to enter Nightmare Castle in the first place?"

"Is the goal to force the Nightmare out of the Nightmare Castle?"

Jean Grey and Dark Phoenix exchanged a glance, like twin sisters.

They all possess astonishing Phoenix Force.

However, one was elegant in demeanor, while the other had a fierce expression.

If Chen Ji hadn't been there, Dark Phoenix probably wouldn't have been able to suppress her hunger and would have devoured Jean Grey alive!

Dark Phoenix.

It's actually just like the Hulk.

Without common sense and objective understanding, even those with extraordinary intelligence cannot control their own behavior.

As Dark Phoenix comes into contact with and experiences the world...

Rational thinking is also making a comeback.

After all, she couldn't afford to offend Chen Ji, and forced by Chen Ji power, she had no choice but to lie low.

Ultimately...

Might makes right!

Boom!

In the Painted Realm Dimension, in the Abyss beneath the earth, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air, like a galaxy spiraling, gradually growing and evolving.

It instantly transformed into a completely new dimension!

A magical, slice-of-life scene, with buildings from different eras all converging in the same space.

This!

That is the Nightmare Dimension!

Reflection.

It's essentially the same as copying and pasting.

He copied a Nightmare Dimension and pasted it into the Painted Realm Universe!

This kind of replication is not merely about copying the form, but also includes the rules, laws, structure, the Fulcrum, and settings!

Based on the derivative of the Nightmare Dimension, five layers of dreams also manifest.

The Witch Clan, slumbering within the blood cocoon, was also constantly dreaming, instantly imbuing the Dream Dimension with a transcendent Ultimate Ascension!

This directly shook the Nightmare's Authority!

Even...

It made him feel his strength draining away!

It was as if its own dimensions had been forcibly split in two!

"No!"

"How is that possible?"

"He created a Nightmare Dimension?"

Nightmare's pupils bulged out.

The expression on his face was one of utter disbelief.

Chen Ji successfully stole Nightmare Castle's magic without even entering it!

This made him feel incredibly frustrated!

My heart is bleeding!

Furthermore, he vaguely sensed that Chen Ji's Dream-Taming Power was far superior to his own!

How can we defeat Chen Ji?

"Don't worry..."

"Chen Ji is not without weaknesses."

A sinister laugh rang out.

The figure of Undead Loki, reappeared.

He strode towards the crowd, a sly glint flashing in his deep, pale blue eyes.

From beginning to end, he never trusted Hela and Nightmare, nor did he trust Chen Ji and Thor.

All he wanted was a better chance of survival!

In the Painted Realm Dimension, the instant he appeared, he also found his opportunity!

The Painted Realm.

Essentially, it's his body!

And he, of course, was able to mobilize the remaining strength in his body!

While it wouldn't break Chen Ji's defenses, it could still interfere with his spellcasting!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nightmare and the Hell Devil King should join forces and launch an attack; victory is assured!

Maybe...

He could even replace Chen Ji and become the master of the Painted Realm Dimension!

To seize the Authority over 'knowledge' for oneself!

Upon hearing Loki's plan, everyone's eyes lit up.

"You actually have the ability to control the Painted Realm?"

"Loki."

Do you know the price of deceiving us?

Hela's beautiful eyes sparkled.

She gripped the Night Sky Sword tightly!

As the lord of Niflheim, she fears no Hell Devil King, and even Odin cannot kill her!

Clearly, she had long been inextricably linked to the concept of death!

"Cheat?"

"How could I possibly have the guts?"

"Thanks to Her Majesty the Queen's favor, I have been able to Hel."

Loki bowed slightly.

In reality, he was filled with disdain.

"Good!"

"I will gather my army and march on Chen Ji!"

Nightmare's gaze was cold.

Things have come to this.

There is absolutely no room for maneuver.

Then, the only option is war!

The words had barely left his mouth.

Nightmare tore open the curtain of space, and the Beast and evil spirits that he had kept in the Nightmare Dimension also raised their heads!

Hades and Satannish were also ready for battle.

The group rushed out of Nightmare Castle and arrived in front of Chen Ji in the blink of an eye!

"Finally unable to hold back any longer, has he shown himself?"

Chen Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew the Nightmare wouldn't ignore it!

After all, reflecting the Nightmare Dimension also copies the Dream-Taming Power Nightmare exactly as it was!

Nightmare bears the consequences.

Chen Ji is in charge of squandering it!

Then the music started, then the dancing began.

"Chen Ji!"

Why did you come to my territory?

"I have no grudge against you!"

"You have stolen my power!"

Nightmare rode a black horse, clad in armor, wearing a grotesque mask, emitting a magical voice, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.

There was no deep-seated hatred between him and Chen Ji, so why go through all this trouble and drive him to the brink of despair?!

"If you fall behind, you will be bullied."

"Weakness is the original sin."

"You still don't understand this principle?"

"Nightmare."

"Your era is about to end."

Chen Ji smiled.

Immediately, his gaze swept around, landing on Hades and Satannish in turn.

These two Hell Devil Kings are also notorious figures. As members of the Hell Lord Council, they often join forces to commit evil deeds.

Agamotto erected Magic Barrier.

We're guarding against these Hell Devil Kings!

[Name]: Satannish

[Identity]: Hell Devil King

[Entry]: Dark Ancient Beast (Gold).

[Dark Ancient Beast] (Gold): He is an ancient demon from the Dark Dimension. He was driven out of the realm by Dormammu and possessed power at the Demon King Tier.

"... Dark Dimension?"

"An ancient demon?"

Chen Ji frowned.

Indeed.

Satannish exuded an aura of the Dark Dimension, an extreme stench and filth!

Fortunately, he wasn't Demon Lord!

The difference between Hell Devil King and Demon Lord is like the difference between a billionaire and a capitalist!

Even billionaires can go bankrupt.

And the chaebols will only get richer!

He then checked Hades's Entry Panel again.

[Name]: Hades

[Identity]: Hades

[Entry]: Underworld Incarnation (Gold), Titan Blood (Gold).

[Underworld Incarnation] (Gold): He is the sole incarnation of the Underworld in Greek mythology, known as Zeus of the underworld, who controls the life and death of the gods.

[Titan Blood] (Gold): As the son of Kronos and Rhea, he inherited the power of the Titan Gods.

"Titan Blood!"

Chen Ji was startled.

The Titan Gods.

Ancient and powerful, like the Progenitor Giant!

It once dominated the entire world.

Until his son Zeus overthrew his rule!

Doesn't that mean that Hades, the god of the underworld, can also command the Titan Power?!

"What a hassle."

Chen Ji could only manage a wry smile.

That being said...

The Nemesis, the Goddess of Vengeance, is also associated with Greek mythology.

In Greek mythology, Nemesis lived in Tartarus, the Hell.

What kind of place is this?

To find the Ego Stone, it seems Hades must be interrogated!

"List!"

"How dare you show your face in front of me?"

I will definitely kill you!

"And we must take Thor's Hammer!"

Hela's eyes were stern.

She looked at her half-brother and, almost without hesitation, launched the first attack!

Whoosh!

A strangely shaped, jet-black blade pierced through the Void, unleashing a whooshing sound as it cut through the air!

Thor glared at him!

"You are the Death Goddess..."

"My sister..."

Hela?!
