Chapter 735 Dream Ambush
When Avis's clone in the secret base of [Spark] fell into a dormant state, in the deep dream world, the huge floating city rolled up the struggling Pomona, passed through a special dream rift, and sneaked into the inverted layer at the bottom of the deep dream world.
This rift has a special mechanism. When someone passes through it, the transmission direction of the rift will change randomly, which is used by Avis to temporarily delay the pursuers for a while.
After arriving at the inversion layer, the floating city quickly arrived at a strange small dream according to the dream coordinates. Just before Pomona was about to break free, she was thrown into a turbulent dream by Avis.
The speed of time flow in this deep dream turbulence is different from that in other areas. Even if a ninth-level person is accidentally caught in it and escapes as quickly as possible, several days may have passed in the outside world.
The dream world that Avis was looking for was not large, with an area of only a few thousand square kilometers, but everything in it was upside down, with the earth above and the sky below.
The grayish white "sun" reflected the rocks, trees and other objects hanging upside down on the ground, and everything appeared in a strange black and white, just like a faded black and white photo.
The floating city and Avis' clone that 'broke into' this world were also unable to avoid this strange rule, and the colors instantly turned into black and white.
At the same time, the mysterious power that was omnipresent in the deep dream world and caused professionals to be gradually assimilated and lost suddenly disappeared in this world, as if it were some kind of refuge, making people unconsciously want to relax their vigilance.
The deep dream world is actually a bit like the ocean. The deeper you dive, the greater the "pressure" in the environment. The power of dreams in turn erodes the existence of non-dreams until they are completely assimilated and remain in the dream world forever.
This strange little dream is the battlefield that Anvis prepared for possible ninth-level enemies.
Although Pomona's rebellion was somewhat unexpected, it was not beyond his plan.
Compared to the worst-case scenario in his plan, such as the Holy Light Church secretly sending a "Saint" to participate in the war, or an incarnation of an ancient being or even the original body coming in person, rebelling against a Pomona is not a big problem.
Soon after arriving at this dream world, the floating city tower spirit 'Bomia' suddenly sent a reminder: the dream world was blocked by an unknown force and could not be escaped.
"Give up the struggle, blasphemer!"
At the same time, the enemy's figure appeared in front of Avis.
As Avis expected, the first people to chase him into this dream world were the two strange-looking ninth-level apostles of the [Song Star Esoteric Cult].
After entering the deep dream world, they broke away from their human form and completely liberated their huge and strange bodies.
One is a huge fireball made purely of dark flames, and the other is a giant that is almost human-shaped overall, but has a huge, twisted tentacle on its head.
In Bomiya's scanning analysis, the existence of these two apostles was very special. Not only was their aura sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but there was also a strange sense of disharmony between their spirit and body.
In other words, they are like some kind of projection that relies on possession.
This is probably also the reason why the [Songxing Secret Sect] can repeatedly produce ninth-level beings that have never been recorded before, because they did not originally exist in this world, but were able to come recently for some reason.
Is it related to the coming of Maelim? Or is it the outbreak of war on the continent, or the expansion of overlapping areas?
While Avis was observing them, he saw that the floating city had not made any movement. The huge and twisted bodies of the two apostles suddenly became ethereal and quickly rushed towards the floating city.
As they approached, faint whispers began to sound in Avis's mind, revealing an endless stream of chaotic and crazy divine information that washed over Avis' soul, trying to destroy his sanity like an isolated island in a tsunami.
However, the power from the old secret scriptures always maintained Avis' mental state, and the faint dark green light shone, absorbing all the extraordinary information pollution transmitted.
This is the innate ability of the apostles. Their existence is equivalent to assimilating all the information pollution sources around them at all times.
The human wave tactic is ineffective against them. Even a ninth-level cultivator can only resist this indiscriminate information pollution and cannot be immune.
Facing the two attacking apostles, the floating city also opened fire, and the magic spires burst out with blazing white purification beams, forcing them to change their trajectories to avoid them.
Hundreds of high-level alchemical golems flew up from above the floating city. Their arrangement vaguely formed a three-dimensional magic array structure, entangling the two apostles and forcing them to distract themselves to deal with it.
For some reason, Avis never launched the Lightless Moon System or any attack higher than the ninth level.
The power levels of these two apostles are between the newly promoted ninth-order and the old-fashioned ninth-order. Due to their inherent information pollution passiveness, if they fight against intelligent life, they will be no less difficult to deal with than the old-fashioned ninth-order.
Facing the group of alchemical golems that Avis had arranged specifically, their strongest abilities were equivalent to non-existence. Coupled with the incoordination between their will and their carrier, they could only exert the combat power of the newly promoted ninth tier at best.
However, despite this, the hundreds of golems quickly began to fall into a disadvantage.
It is almost impossible to restrain a ninth-level apostle with a non-ninth-level one.
But when the two apostles of the Song Star Cult were briefly entangled, the change that Avis had been waiting for for a long time finally happened.
As the battle progressed, an invisible wave suddenly spread from the ground above and quickly enveloped the entire battlefield.
The moment he detected this wave sweeping by, Avis immediately ordered Bomya to launch the space explosion that had been prepared for a long time, forcibly breaking the blockade of the dream world, and without hesitation gave up blocking the apostles' golems to escape.
At the moment of passing through the edge of the dream, Avis suddenly sensed a strong pulling force and a strong fluctuation containing monotonous information.
"Don't go, stay..."
The next moment, the magic patterns on the surface of the floating city emitted a dazzling light, and the endless magic power from the pseudo-eternal core burst out instantly, breaking free from this traction and instantly leaving this world.
The two apostles of the Song Star Esoteric Cult also realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
The colors of everything in the dream quickly darkened. The gray sun in the sky turned into a pitch-black round sun. Under the cover of the dark sunlight, the colors of all things were completely covered.
Viewed from outside the world, the entire dream world was originally like a gray-white bubble, but now it has been stained with pure darkness and exudes a repressive wave.
According to the information that Anvis obtained from the land of inheritance, the owner of this strange dream is a strange being that has appeared since the Dark Age.
It cannot move, so its dreams are whatever it perceives. It does not see the world through light, so its dreams have no color.
To this day, the owner of the dream has disappeared, but its dream still remains here.
In normal times, and in the dawn state of this world, this place is harmless. But if a battle involving ancient beings breaks out here, it will trigger a trace of the will of the dream master left here.
Since it gained consciousness, 'it' has never seen its own kind.
Originally it didn't realize there was anything wrong with this, until at some point, an emotion called 'loneliness' suddenly arose in its heart.
So, it had a dream, in which it saw many beings with different appearances, but all emitting fluctuations similar to its own.
It felt very happy and merged these beings with itself, then fell into a deep sleep. It would not wake up again until the next time a "same species" appeared.
According to historical records, when darkness falls, everything left in the dream will completely disappear.
After waiting for a while and making sure that the aura of the two apostles had dissipated, Anvis crossed out the name of the Song Star Cult on the enemy list and headed for the next battlefield he had prepared.
Even though they may just be some kind of projections, the consumption of supporting the arrival of such projections must be huge. Being able to deal with two at once will also be a heavy blow to the Songxing Esoteric Sect.
