"The leader of the Black Dream Hunters, the High Priest Pan Moth, 'Moth's Confusion' Gu Mian... Although I received intelligence that the Black Dream Hunters might be involved in Put's affairs, I didn't expect the level of participation to be so high, and you actually mobilized it yourself. To be able to mobilize you... Could it be that the Lady of Pain promised you some benefits?
"Since when do you need to kowtow to other evil gods?"
Looking at the inhuman creature called Gumian in the sky, Atoli spoke bluntly, and after a slight pause, he spoke in a thin, hoarse voice that was completely inhuman.
"The hawk and dog of Shenglin Mountain...correct your attitude. This is the dreamland, the realm of my God. It is not a place where you can act arrogantly..." Gu Mian said to Atoli with a warning tone, while Atoli still spoke with a disdainful tone.
"Your domain? Haha... it's quite funny. Didn't you have a scaly moth torn to pieces by the Dream Dragon not long ago? This happened on your home turf, and you didn't even make a move to retaliate. Instead, you retreated for a period of time. You can still say that dreams are your domain? You can't even put your face on it..."
Atoli said this to Gu Mian, with obvious sarcasm in her tone. After hearing this, although Gu Mian's inhuman face did not show much expression, the wings behind him could not help but flutter slightly.
"That Dream Dragon... just took advantage of my search for God to attack the young ones in my tribe. It's despicable and shameless. Now that I have returned, I will personally settle the score with it after what happened today.
"But you, the Chief of Staff, came here alone. You don't worry about your own safety, but you still have the mind to mention other things. Aren't you worried that you may not come back?"
Looking at Atoli below, Gu Mian said silently, and Atoli responded indifferently.
"It seems... the Eight-pointed Nest wants you to get rid of me here. You are confident that you can get rid of me here..."
"What else? This is our territory!"
Gu Mian responded to Atole's words in a high-pitched voice. As soon as he finished speaking, several huge figures swooped down from the shadows of the treetops in the sky and surrounded Atole.
A faceless head, a huge body containing countless dream cocoons, a fat and deformed abdomen, countless illusory tentacles extending from the torso, and giant psychedelic moth wings...
These are two pseudo-moths! Two fully mature large pseudo-moths. At this moment, together with Gu Mian, they completely surrounded Atoli in the center and immediately launched an offensive.
With the wings trembling slightly, Gu Mian and the Pseudo-moth jointly launched a strong hypnotic wave towards Atoli. This hypnotic wave was released mainly by Gu Mian, and strengthened and amplified by the other two Pseudo-moths and the release source was expanded. This hypnotic wave could take effect in the dream world, hypnotizing a sleeping person into a state of second sleep, and making them sleep forever.
"Come on... can you feel sleepy even in your dreams?"
Surrounded by powerful hypnotic waves, Atoli stood on the ground tiredly, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep while standing.
Seeing Atolli being charged like this, Gu Mian directly extended a long illusory tentacle towards Atolli and wrapped around her. Just as the tentacle wrapped around Atolli, her entire body turned into a ball of shadow and exploded, disappearing on the ground.
"What... is this... fake? It's a power!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Mian couldn't help but think in his heart in surprise. Logically speaking, the abilities in reality should not be effective in the dream world! The dream world has its own rules. No matter how powerful the extraordinary creatures in the real world are, they should only be able to fight in the dream world with their mimicry. In essence, as powerful creatures in the dream world, the pseudo-moth and the sleeping Gu have an absolute advantage because they can use their abilities and have a powerful body.
However, the current Atoli has indeed used the extraordinary abilities in the real world, so what is going on?
Just as Gumian was surprised, dozens of Atol figures emerged from the vague shadows of the large branches and leaves in the forest, appearing and looking at the moths in front of them with indifference.
This is... a clone! The one who was hypnotized just now was just Atoli's clone. Atoli didn't know when she had turned her body into a shadow and hidden it, leaving the clone to fight against the Gu Mian.
After so many clones of Atoli appeared, they all drew out a sword from their bodies, leaped down from the branches of the giant tree, and slashed at the false moth and Gu Mian below. Faced with such a situation, the false moth waved countless tentacles to fight back, and dispersed Atoli's clones in the air into waves of shadows.
Although the pseudo-moths were very efficient in cleaning, and their whips scattered Athole's clones one by one, they were still no match for the speed at which Athole's clones were growing in number. From the shadows of the branches on the giant trees, Athole's clones continued to emerge, falling from the sky like raindrops.
Soon it exceeded the limit of the pseudo-moth's clearing speed. Those Atoli clones that had crossed the pseudo-moth's defense line fell on the pseudo-moth, and began to ruthlessly destroy the pseudo-moth's body with the sword in their hands, opening countless tiny cuts on the pseudo-moth's body. The two pseudo-moths couldn't help but fall to the ground, rolling over in pain, trying to drop Atoli's clone and crush it, but with little success. The pseudo-moth threw off some clones and more clones fell on them. The clones falling like raindrops seemed endless.
The only one who could handle the attack of Atolli's massive clones with ease was Gu Mian. Its body was very small, and it was extremely agile, and its tentacles attacked at a very high frequency. It quickly eliminated the clones that rushed towards it, and at the same time, it also saw the plight of its subordinates.
Seeing this, Gu Mian vibrated his wings, and suddenly a large amount of scale powder was shaken out, which quickly spread to the surroundings. The scale powder quickly filled the space between the giant trees. As soon as Atoli's falling clones came into contact with the scale powder, they fell into a deep sleep, and fell directly to the ground without moving in the air and disappeared into nothingness.
As the scale powder spread wildly, Atooli's clone was quickly destroyed. Just as Gu Mian began to look for Atooli's clone, something strange happened at the scene again.
Shadows, countless strange shadows rushed out from the shadows on the giant tree, and rushed straight to the ground below along the surface of the tree trunk, and soon spread to the ground. The pseudo-moths that had just been chopped and bruised were just recovering from their injuries at high speed and preparing to take off again, when the shadows that had already extended to the ground and had no entity to support them turned into countless spikes and stabbed at the pseudo-moths' shadows.
In the dream world, pseudomoths are considered physical creatures, so they have shadows. Although the light in the dream world comes from the diffusion of multiple light sources in the entire environment and is not obvious, it is still very prominent when the pseudomoth is lying on the ground.
The moment Shadow was stabbed, countless large holes suddenly appeared in the huge body of the pseudo-moth, as if it had been pierced by dozens of spears at the same time. It struggled in pain and crawled to the ground.
Some shadows attacked the pseudo-moth, and more shadows targeted Gu Mian. However, since Gu Mian took off in the air, there was no clear projection when it was not close to the ground, and because there was no unified and powerful light source in the dream world, it was difficult to be attacked by Atolli's shadow.
However, what Atolli attacked this time was not Gu Mian's shadow. Instead, the thorn-like shadows that gathered on the ground under Gu Mian and on the surfaces of the surrounding giant trees stood up directly from the surfaces they were attached to. The detached shadows turned from the surfaces they should have attached to and turned into pitch-black "shadow thorns" that stabbed towards Gu Mian in mid-air.
From two-dimensional to three-dimensional, the shadow spikes grew and extended rapidly from the shadow land on the plane they were attached to, like tiny branches. These shadow thorns were extremely small, and not only did they grow in turns and meanders, but they also accurately passed through the extremely narrow gaps between the tiny dust particles in the air. Thinking of Gu Mian's thorns shooting out, Gu Mian was faced with attacks from countless high-speed shadow thorns from all directions. The attacks covered all the blind spots, and it had almost nowhere to escape.
Seeing this, Gu Mian immediately used his wings to wrap his body to defend against the stabbing shadow thorns. After these sharp shadow thorns pierced Gu Mian's body, which was almost turned into a pupa, they did not pierce its wings, but only pinned it to the ground, fixing it immobile.
At this time, Gu Mian also roughly understood the reason for Atolli's ability.
"Is this... the ability to invade the physical world? So... this is why you can use your ability in the dream world..."
Under the protection of the wings, Gu Mian felt Atocori's ability and thought in his heart. In fact, the reason why Atocori can use her ability in the dream world is very simple, that is, the ability of her shadow is essentially derived from some other world. When she uses her ability in the real world, Atocori can use her shadow as a window to guide the ability of this world to interfere and invade the real world, thereby releasing her ability.
Although the release of extraordinary abilities is more or less related to various magical realms, there are not many who rely on magical realms to the extent of Atholli. When Atholli fights in the real world, she guides the power of her magical realm to penetrate into the real world. When she fights in the dream world, she guides the power of her magical realm to penetrate into the dream world. Penetrating into the real world is also penetration, and penetrating into other magical realms is also penetration.
Atholli's ability will be suppressed by Anna's legal declaration ability, but it can work well in other worlds, such as this dream world. In the real world, Atholli also needs to use the "light" ability and props to strengthen the shadow and strengthen the connection between her world and the real world.
However, in the dream world, which is also a magical world, it is not so troublesome. The dream world is very close to the inner world related to Athole's ability, much closer than the real world. Athole can guide the power of shadows to the dream world more easily, and does not even need light sources to strengthen the shadows. It would be more troublesome for Athole to do the operation of making the shadows three-dimensional like the previous one in the real world.
It is precisely because the world of magic that Atoli relies on is very close to the dream world that she dares to challenge Gumian in the dream world.
"It's really tricky... the saint of the church... It seems that it is impossible to easily defeat her even in the dream world. Even if I can defeat her with all my strength, the price I have to pay may be unbearable...
"If that's the case, we can only settle for the second best option..."
Gu Mian thought so in his heart under the protection of the wings, and then he stretched out his hands under the protection of the wings. After a flash of light, two broken pieces of black jade appeared in his hands.
On the other hand, seeing that Gu Mian's wing defense was not so easily penetrated, the shadows of the spikes piercing Gu Mian's wings began to sink rapidly, spreading on Gu Mian's wings like a pool of ink. These shadows actually returned from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, but this time they were directly attached to Gu Mian's gorgeous wings.
Afterwards, these shadows began to swim on the surface of Gu Mian's wings. Relying on the turns on the wings, they swam towards the inside of the wings regardless of collisions, as if they wanted to swim inside the wings in this way to launch an attack. However, Gu Mian was trapped in his own defense with no place to escape.
After realizing that something was wrong, Gu Mian directly spread his wings again and cut off the moth wings that were already entangled with shadows. Gu Mian avoided being entangled by Atoli's shadow by abandoning his wings.
But even so, Atoli still did not intend to give up the pursuit of Gu Mian. The shadows on the abandoned wings gathered again and jumped out in a three-dimensional posture, turning into a completely black silhouette of Atoli in the air. This silhouette swung the sword towards Gu Mian, and the faint light emitted from the black jade fragment held in Gu Mian's hand suddenly dimmed.
Then, something unexpected happened to Atoli. At the moment when the black jade fragment in Gumian's hand dimmed, a thick fog suddenly emerged in the surrounding woods. The white fog suddenly filled Atoli's eyes, and wherever she looked, it was all white. Gumian and her companions disappeared in the thick fog.
Seeing this, Atoli in shadow form continued to swing her sword forward without stopping, but she hit nothing. The place where she should have hit Gu Mian was empty, but there was nothing there except the thick white fog.
Atoli slashed the air with a sword and fell straight down from the sky. After landing on the ground, she began to observe her surroundings vigilantly to prevent the enemy from attacking from the fog. In her perception, Gu Mian... and even the two seriously injured pseudo-moths had completely disappeared. He had no way to confirm their condition at all.
"What is this fog...?"
Looking at the fog around her, Atoli was on guard and thought to herself, Atoli is the leader of the Church's Secret Court, and her sense of direction is first-rate, but in this fog, she felt a strong sense of chaos, she couldn't figure out any direction at all, this was the first time she had seen such a situation.
This thick white fog, coupled with the vague images of giant trees all around, reminded Atoli of one of the images that the Queen of the Night Sky showed her a few days ago, a giant cocoon in the thick fog of the forest. The fog before her eyes now felt very similar to the fog in that picture.
"There is a problem... We should not stay here for long..."
After feeling that something was wrong with the fog in front of her, Atoli thought seriously in her heart, and then she terminated her plan to kill or capture the leader of the Black Dream Hunters and take back Harold, and planned to leave the dream world first.
Entering and traveling into the human world is not a difficult task for Atoli.
Just like that, while keeping alert to her surroundings, Atoli activated her abilities and began the process of returning to the real world. After her figure became blurry for a while, Atoli disappeared onto the ground.
However, when Atolli's body reappeared, she did not appear under the lights of reality, but still appeared in a thick fog.
When Atoli opened her eyes again, all she could see in front of her was thick white fog, except for the vaguely visible giant tree.
"What……"
Looking at the thing in front of her, Atoli couldn't help but murmur with her eyes slightly wide open. She remembered that she should have returned to the present world, so why did she appear here again!
Seeing the situation in front of her, Artoli felt something was wrong. She immediately activated her ability to return to the real world again. She disappeared into the underworld again. However, when her figure reappeared, the scenery she saw in front of her was still thick fog and vague giant trees.
She changed her place, but seemed to still be in the white fog, still in the dream world.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Atoli's face darkened. She then tried a few more times, but the result was still the same. Every time she tried to return to the present world, she would come to other places in the fog. Then she chose to find another way to go to the inner world she was in contact with, but the result was the same. In the end, she still appeared in the fog.
At this moment, Atoli discovered that whenever she entered a certain "travel", she would get "lost" because of the white fog and return to the fog from the place where she was wandering in circles. It seemed that any form of "travel" would be affected by the fog, even the realm crossing, which was almost a way of traveling in space...
At this moment she confirmed the terrible thought.
She was lost, trapped in the fog, trapped in the dream world...
"This fog... is created by the power of God..."
Standing on the ground in the fog, Atoli looked at the whiteness in front of her and thought seriously in her heart that at this moment, she was completely trapped here, and she had no way to rely on her own strength to return to the real world.
Only the power of God can create such a fog that can make one lose oneself, and such a predicament that can make one confused even when crossing realms.
"The fog of the God of Dreams... why did it appear at this time... is this part of their plan? Why is there suddenly such a dangerous area in the dream world? I have never received any information about the God of Dreams being active before...
"And those people from Black Dream, how did they hide in this fog before? And how did they get away from it?"
Looking at the white fog around her, Atoli felt anxious in her heart that it would be difficult for her to find a way out of the dream fog completely on her own now, and she could only wait for help.
Fortunately, Atoli has her subordinates waiting in the real world. If her subordinates do not see Atoli return for a long time, they will definitely report to Saint Mount. Among the things left by the Holy See, there are things that can help her escape. All she needs is the help of other cardinals.
It just so happens that Putt's terminal illness needs to be reported to Mount Saint-Lin. After receiving the report, other cardinals can rush over. Not only can they help themselves, but they can also directly control the highly corrupt Despenser royal family.
Since the head of the secret police, Prince Harold, has become so corrupt, I wonder what other places will be like. When the other cardinals come, from King Charles IV to ordinary lower-level royal family members, it is estimated that none of them will be able to escape, and this exhibition should be directly terminated.
Atoli thought so in her mind, and then after a slight sigh, she began to slowly and actively explore a way out while waiting for other colleagues to support Tivian.
