Chapter 653: My Victory
Chapter 653: My Victory
[Under the full influence of the 'Chaos' ability, a God-tier nightmare born from your terrible dreams is rapidly merging with you, attempting to elevate your persona to that of a 'True Deity'.]
[Due to the impact of the special anomaly, 'Dream Scatter Core', the power of this God-tier nightmare is violently extracted, forcibly dispersed into the current dream, failing to fully merge with you. The persona elevation is unsuccessful, and the corresponding badge fails to activate.]
[...]
"Ahhhh!"
In the instant that a series of notifications flashed before his eyes, Lyon's expression turned pitch black as if he had been dipped in an inkwell. His entire body was engulfed in profound darkness, except for two white eyeballs filled with agony; no other colors could be seen.
Accompanying this pitch-black darkness was an indescribable, intense pain.
After merging with the Nightmare King, the 'Dream Scatter Core' embedded in Lyon's heart remained, and he 'inherited' it in its original state, leaving a gaping hole in his heart.
At this moment, Lyon felt like a pool being managed by a crazy administrator, with water pouring in and out. The vast power of the Nightmare King rushed in like a tidal wave, then gushed out uncontrollably through the hole created by the 'Dream Scatter Core'.
Lyon, serving as the conduit, felt his soul being stretched to its limits, as if it might explode at any moment. However, the power of the Nightmare King held him together, preventing a complete breakdown. He even gained a hint of something under the 'washing' of the ability.
"Ziz..."
[During the process of this God-tier nightmare's power dispersing into the current dream through your body, you gained some insight into its ability, successfully activating the ungraded special badge 'Nightmare is the Deepest Fear in the Night'.]
[Nightmare is the Deepest Fear in the Night: As the new 'body' of the Nightmare King, you naturally touched upon the three deepest abilities he has comprehended during the brief merging process.]
[Badge Effects:
Effect 1: During the night, your stamina will be constantly replenished to its maximum, and your energy will never be exhausted.
Effect 2: The more individuals around you who fear you, and the deeper the fear in their hearts, the stronger your power will become.
Effect 3: When you descend into the depths of the dream realm, you are undoubtedly the master of nightmares, the new Nightmare King.]
[Upgrade Path: When your Immersion Value reaches 60 points, and you defeat a True Deity-level existence that possesses the 'Night' ability, completing your missing abilities, this badge will automatically upgrade to the unique badge 'Night Veil Overlord'.
When your Immersion Value reaches 60 points, and you defeat a True Deity-level existence that possesses the 'Fear' ability, completing your missing abilities, this badge will automatically upgrade to the unique badge 'Fear Master'.
When your Immersion Value reaches 60 points, and you return to the depths of the dream realm, completely merging your existence with the Soul-sink Abyss, this badge will automatically upgrade to the unique badge 'Nightmare Source'.]
[Hidden Attribute (No need to wear): Beings who covet the 'Night', 'Fear', and 'Nightmare' abilities will have a high chance of initiating attacks against you. Additionally, when the light around you is dim, the demonic charm of the Nightmare King will be activated.]
"Lyon! Are you okay?"
Just as the new badge was activated, the princess, whose hands were twisted behind her back and pinned to the sofa, seemed to sense his pain and turned her head to check on Lyon.
But as the princess turned, the lampwick on Lyon's chest swayed slightly and then snapped with a crisp crack, completely shattered by the black torrent.
Without this final barrier, the power of the Nightmare King within Lyon burst forth, instantly dyeing the entire dream realm black and quickly spreading to other nearby dreams.
At the same time, outside the dream, the Aquarius Director took a deep breath, clenching a small golden knife in his hands. He followed a path that only he could see, gritting his teeth and cutting fiercely!
"Boom!"
With the Aquarius Director's action, a sound that was not real but was heard by everyone echoed throughout the entire capital.
It was as if time had reversed, and the black river that had once spread across the night sky, only to be stopped by the Red-Haired Commissioner, returned to the capital's night sky after two months.
This time, without any obstruction, the Nightmare River instantly took over the entire world, transforming the present realm into another Soul-sink Abyss.
Under the influence of the Soul-sink Abyss's rules, everyone's souls, whether asleep or awake, were instantly forced out of their bodies, plummeting towards the deepest and darkest bottomless abyss.
At the same moment, the ball fruit on Lyon's wrist, the 'Shelter Oak', suddenly burst open, releasing countless strands of bright red hair that densely pierced every falling soul, catching them all just before they slipped into the abyss!
The Crow, witnessing this, was utterly shocked. The red hair, denser than raindrops, precisely impaled every falling soul, and even had the strength to pull them back up!
The Crow, having lost his arms, drew in a cold breath, unable to believe his eyes.
As for the Aquarius Director beside him, upon seeing this, he did not feel disappointed that his plan had 'failed'. Instead, he let out a long laugh, then slashed at the black dream, shattering it and pushing Lyon and the princess down.
"Aquarius!!!"
Along with an angry shout, a strand of red hair burst out from the ball fruit on Lyon's wrist, trying to pull him back up," the Crow said.
However, Lyon, forced to merge with the Nightmare King and completely overwhelmed by nightmares, had a soul that was incredibly heavy, almost on par with a True Deity.
The Red-Haired Commissioner, burdened with the souls of millions, tried to pull Lyon up, but even in her anger, she couldn't manage it. Instead, she broke through the 'Shelter Oak' as she tried to drag him, looking a bit disheveled as she emerged.
"Olivia," the Aquarius Director said, calling out the Red-Haired Commissioner's name. As he watched her struggle to support herself, with half of her soul pulled out of her body, a smile spread across his lips.
"It seems I've won!"
