Through the conscious dream of the researcher in the D11 blockade area, Mu Shuyue's contracted pets found the suspected location of [Zero Master].
There are undoubtedly a large number of complex defense measures set up there, but in front of the Nightmare Knight's [Subspace], they all lose their meaning of existence.
Through the shadow space of the black and white world, one can easily penetrate all kinds of security in the real world and directly reach the interior of the facility. On the contrary, the unknown shadow tide looks more dangerous.
Allen was fully prepared, then wrapped the beastmaster in shadows and sank into the center of the shadow tide.
A cold shadow spread over his head, and Mu Liuyue closed his eyes in the space where black and white intersected.
When this brief feeling of being submerged in water disappeared, she had already arrived in another laboratory.
Most of the projection screens here are in dormant mode. There is no light source in the room. Only some unknown instruments emitting dim light are flashing quietly.
The overall structure is very similar to the previous laboratory, except that there is an additional crack on the floor that runs across the entire laboratory. It is two or three meters wide, and there is endless darkness inside, as if it is a crack in the underground abyss.
Ellen chose to stop here because this is the final boundary between the real world and the shadow space.
From here down, you can only feel the boundless power of shadow, and that strange vortex is located right below the rift.
Mu Liuyue stood at the edge of the crack on the floor, looking down intently, and inexplicably found that the vague sense of incongruity appeared again.
The laboratory was dark and gloomy. Theoretically, it was impossible for human vision to see the scene deep in the abyss in such a dark environment.
But she could feel that there seemed to be some indescribable giant in the depths of the chasm, sleeping with its eyes closed. The ripples caused by its breathing were like muffled thunder, rumbling in the dark abyss.
This was not a scene she saw with her eyes, but a kind of feedback that came from her senses, forcefully showing what was here.
This shouldn't be the case, but it seems natural...
Mu Chuyue closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and suddenly grasped the most crucial point.
She had indeed experienced the same feeling before. It was the rule skill of the mythical race's [Night Tide Star Envoy] that was bestowed upon Mu Yixia.
At that time, she was the only one as an outsider soul who noticed the blind spots that everyone else took for granted.
Mu Liuyue told the pets accompanying her about her discovery.
After noticing this slight sense of incongruity, Xiao Meng suddenly floated forward, with her translucent tentacles extending several times the length of her body and exploring into the depths of the dark chasm.
【Mmmmm...】It made a sound as if it suddenly realized something.
It turns out that this is the reason why it cannot sense the dream of [Zero Lord].
If the being sleeping in this rift is really [Lord Zero], then Xiao Meng should have felt the chaotic dream combination when she just entered the laboratory.
It can enter the dreamland from the location of the [Lord Zero] and trace back to the very beginning, which is the [origin] that everyone has been looking for.
However, until now, it seemed to be right above where [Lord Zero] was sleeping, but it still could not sense any dream around it.
...Because this [rift], including the feedback formed by the image of [Lord Zero] in the senses of intelligent creatures, are already creations of dreams.
After listening to Xiao Meng's description, Mu Chuyue showed a look of surprise. What does it mean that it is already a creation of a dream?
[Mmm. 】(It means that the scene we can see now is not the real reality.)
Laye retracted its tentacles, and there was nothing on them, as if it had never touched the existence under the rift.
Judging from the feedback from the senses, the sleeping [Lord Zero] is just below this rift. His huge body almost fills the entire underground of the laboratory. Strictly speaking, Mu Chuyue is [standing] above Lord Zero at this time.
The distance that Xiao Meng stretched out her tentacles just now should have been enough to touch the entity of [Lord Zero], but it did not touch anything.
[You mean... the existence we sensed is not the real Zero Lord? 】Mu Liuyue pondered.
【Dream. 】 (If Hiiragizuki looks carefully for himself, he will understand.)
After Xiao Meng finished speaking, one of her tentacle wrapped around the Beastmaster's wrist and pulled her towards the chasm ahead.
Knowing that there is a bottomless chasm ahead, but still daring to step over it, requires great courage and overcoming instinctive behavior.
Mu Chuyue exhaled lightly, emptied her senses, and focused all her attention on the contractual connection with Xiao Meng.
This is the same thing that Chaoxi had done in the battle against [Thousand Machine Burial Flowers]. Even though it went against the feedback of the senses and biological instincts, Mu Chuyue still chose to believe in his contracted pet.
Xiao Meng has found the answer to the question, and now it is her turn to witness it all with her own eyes.
She stepped forward, heading towards the endless chasm.
The expected feeling of falling came towards him, but it only lasted for a short second or two and soon stopped. Mu Huiyue felt herself floating down to the ground below.
The cracks beneath the laboratory floor did lead to a lower level, but it was not a bottomless abyss, but just an ordinary underground layer.
The figure of Nightmare Knight appeared beside her, and a shadow energy ball similar to [Shadow Collapse] condensed in his hand.
Eren fought for control of the area, stopping the turbulent tide and gradually calming it down.
Xiao Meng's body was glowing with brilliance, and her light pink body became even more transparent. This was the state when she activated [Xiao Meng Mi Die] with all her strength.
The out-of-control surging shadow energy was restrained and became regular again, and the "Lord Zero" who was transformed from someone's dream also revealed his true form.
With the efforts of both parties, Mu Chuyue felt that the hazy sense of disharmony that shrouded her senses was slowly dissipating as the scene changed.
As if he had suddenly figured out the key, everything that happened before ceased to exist. Mu Chuyue raised his head and saw clearly the existence at the center of everything under the dim light.
It turned out to be a...human.
She slowly widened her eyes and looked at what appeared in front of her in disbelief.
A device that looks like a life-support device, with a transparent nutrient solution emitting a pale blue glow, and humans floating inside the device.
Judging from the appearance alone, it is indeed a human being. The corresponding features are clear and obvious, and there are no abnormal structures that do not belong to the human race.
He had the body of a young man, with thin and slender limbs, skin as pale as snow, and shoulder-length black hair. However, his facial features were not like those of a Dayan person. He had a high nose bridge and deep eyebrows, and looked more like a person from the north.
This wonderful sense of fusion is rare in any human race in this world. Mu Chuyue concentrated and pondered for a while, and somehow thought of the phantom beast master with white hair and green eyes.
Although Su Luo was in Da Yan, his appearance alone did not have any of Da Yan's characteristics, and he did not even conform to the human race of any region in this world.
She and her travel companions, like Mu Huoyue, are outsiders to this world, but there is one fundamental difference between them.
Mu Huoyue is the soul of an outsider, but Su Luo and her travel companions actually traveled across the world line to come here.
She stopped her thoughts and looked at the black-haired young man in the life support device again.
The place where [Zero Lord] was supposed to exist was a creation of a dream, and its true form was actually a human being... Even as smart as she is, her brain now feels a little stuck.
Who is he... and why is he here?
However, this unexpected turn made Mu Liuyue's logic much clearer. She recalled the scene when she first got the relevant information from Lin Fei's conscious dream.
Ten years ago, an exploration team actually brought back the sleeping Lord of the Secret Realm from the "Zero Hour Universe", named him "Zero Lord", and established a secret organization "Gravity" to specialize in studying the countless unrealized possibilities in the dreams of "Zero Lord".
There is an inconsistency in this information that has been overlooked by everyone, which is why the exploration team was able to bring [Zero Lord] back to reality?
You must know that even the lord of the secret realm of the surface secret realm "Outer Star Sea" [Star Eclipse Sky Evil] is definitely not a powerful mythological race that a few legendary beastmasters can fight against. Jing Heng contracted the legendary fantasy race [Ruoming] that can bring miracles, and it took him six hundred years to wait for a chance to die together.
With the combat power of the secret realm exploration team at that time, it was impossible to influence the master of the secret realm of the "Zero Hour Universe", let alone bring him back to reality and imprison him in this D11 blockade area for a long time.
It is precisely because the true identity of this "Zero Lord" is a human dream that the so-called "Advent Plan" of "Gravity" has been successfully implemented until now.
This is another phenomenon that shouldn’t happen, but is natural.
The authenticity of the existence of [Zero Lord] is beyond doubt. The countless possibilities observed by [Gabriel], including those that have replaced reality in the [Advent Plan], are real facts that exist and have occurred.
But if the "Zero Master" sleeping in the D11 blockade area is a human of unknown identity, then where is the real "Zero Master" and what role does this human play in it...?
Doubts and questions kept popping up in his mind, and Mu Liuyue looked at the life-support device in front of him with a headache.
Since they are immersed in a life-support device, does it mean that the humans inside still have a chance to survive?
Unable to come up with any valuable inferences from the existing information, Mu Liuyue turned to look at his pets, hoping to hear their opinions.
After some consideration, Nightmare Knight was able to determine, from the process of resolving the shadow vortex just now, that the raging shadow energy in this area all came from the human in front of him.
The opponent who can mobilize the shadow energy in the Nightmare Knight's territory must be a dark fantasy race... or even a mythical race.
But what exists in reality is indeed just a human being.
Ellen didn't know whether human beastmasters could reach the energy of the extraordinary creatures of the fantasy race, but taking Hiiragi's case as an example, even if she was promoted to the strongest level 9 beastmaster, the dark attribute energy triggered by her beastmaster talent alone would still be a far cry from the energy fluctuations of this level.
The creature lying in the life support device, although having a perfect human appearance, is an absolutely high-level extraordinary creature in terms of dark attribute hidden energy.
