Following the guidance of psychic power, Carl raised the ship-cutting sword horizontally forward and stabbed it into the center of the door of the operating room.

The four-meter-long ship-cutting sword obviously hit something, but when Carl wanted to tear down the chitinous door, everything in front of him suddenly began to distort.

"Oh no! They're trying to invade my mind! Elemental weapons!"

Realizing that the Mind Flayer Arcanist seemed to want to use psychic power to control him, Carl quickly used his most handy spell.

A fierce flame instantly ignited on the ship-cutting sword, and when Carl was about to lose consciousness, the screams of the Mind Flayer rang in his ears.

…

"Strange ceiling..."

Waking up from a chaotic dream, the first thing Carl saw was a chitinous ceiling that looked like an insect shell.

Then, he looked down and saw...

"Hey! Wait! Isn't this the scene when I just woke up from the mind flayer's transformation chamber?"

As his consciousness and memory gradually recovered, Carl immediately noticed something was wrong.

With a thought, he was about to summon a mecha to destroy everything, but found that he had summoned nothing.

His eyelids twitched slightly, and Carl cursed in his heart: "MD, is that mind flayer trying to make me think that everything I experienced after being captured by the mind flayer was a dream? Is he taking me for a fool?"

If there is any ending that is the most despised, then the "dream ending" is definitely one of the ones with the highest number of votes.

Compared to the irresponsible bad ending and the outrageous eunuch ending, the existence of the dream ending is more like a negation of everything that came before.

However, if someone deliberately creates this kind of "dream", then the intention is very obvious. He is trying to seal the subsequent power of the dream participant and make him mistakenly believe that those experiences were really a dream.

Considering the mind flayer's understanding of psychic power and its own level, if such a dream were performed on an ordinary person, it would indeed have a high probability of success. Although Carl is not a professional psionicist, the psychic skills he learned from Iris, the dream spirit, are not weaker than those of the mind flayer.

After all, from the root point of view, Meng Ling is the ancestor of psychic power.

Carl slowly closed his eyes and began to meditate in his mind. In his dream, the Mind Flayer opened the hatch and began to scoop out tadpoles from the culture dish of the Mind Flayer larvae, preparing to transplant them to Carl.

In reality, Carl escaped because of Zhuomu's attack, but the Mind Flayer in the dream obviously did not intend to let Carl escape according to the original script.

But just as he was walking towards Carl carrying the mind flayer larva, a ray of light burst out from Carl's body.

The light brought with it an intoxicating feeling of warmth, but the Mind Flayer instantly collapsed the moment it was illuminated by the light.

Carl's body began to grow rapidly. Mechanical structures emerged from his body, eventually transforming him into a mechanical giant over six meters tall.

This was exactly his image in the third layer of the dream world, and the surrounding dream illusions were all transformed into some kind of pure energy under the illumination of the light.

At a certain moment, Carl suddenly felt a throbbing coming from his spiritual core.

Following the impulse that came from his heart, he guided the spirituality and made it spread towards his body.

A strange feeling began to appear in Carl's perception. He felt that his will seemed to resonate with the world around him. As long as he guided it according to certain fixed rules, the world would respond to him.

This is the talent of warlocks. He has successfully become a warlock, and because of the changes in his own dream world, he has also gained the combined talents of a distorted mind and a time-machine soul.

When Carl opened his eyes again, everything in front of him changed back to the interior of the Nautilus spacecraft.

The Mind Flayer's screams resumed the same as before he entered the dream.

With a push of his hand, the wizard's hand, enhanced by his telekinetic expertise, pushed the chitinous hatch directly out.

Carl walked into the control room and saw the mind flayer ignited by the elemental weapon spell effect.

Although the spell was interrupted by the mind flayer's dream, the flame that lasted only a moment still ignited everything around the mind flayer.

Carl was a kind-hearted person, so he simply raised his left arm.

He still used the first half of the magic to decompose the air, and then used the lightning launcher to gather ions to form plasma.

It’s just that because this time he is using a mecha, the plasma condensed by Carl is more powerful than the plasma condensed when he used power armor before.

Control the magnetic field and launch it out.

In the blink of an eye, both the Mind Flayer and the control room of the Nautilus spacecraft were turned into ashes by the powerful electrical energy released in an instant.

Watching all this eagerly, an inexplicable sense of excitement began to spread in Carl's heart.

He didn't seem to be as ecstatic as he had imagined, but he did feel that something was different in his spiritual core the moment he confirmed the death of the Mind Flayer.

Summoning golden ripples, Carl walked straight in.

In the demiplane, Hope was complaining to Nia and others about his previous behavior.

After taking off his mecha and power armor, Carl scratched his head embarrassedly, only to find that Hope and the others were looking at him in surprise.

Carl looked down and found that orange and gold lines appeared all over his body.

They are spread all over the body like lines on a circuit board, and their brightness changes with the beating of the heart.

The heartbeat in the right chest cavity was stronger than ever, as if it had finally completed its final transformation and become a perfect spare heart.

"Gurgle~"

There was a loud rumbling sound in his stomach, and Carl suddenly felt hungrier than ever before.

Looking up at his girlfriend and companions who were looking at him with concern, Karl scratched his chin with his index finger and said, “Is there anything to eat at home?”

Hope and Nia looked at each other, then answered helplessly in unison: "We'll do it for you!"

…

"Karl Airis is from Eludin, born in the city of Vana.

He was very smart when he was young. He studied at the Arcanix Tower of Wonders and was a favorite disciple of Morban.

At the age of fourteen, he fell into the hands of the Mind Flayer. He saved his wife Hope from the enemy and fled into the underground city. He was trapped for several months and finally returned.

By the age of twenty-one, he had become a legend before the world.

He is the founder of the psychic hacker profession of Artifact Master and the honorary technical advisor to Eruden and Aundair.

At the age of thirty, he married Hope, the druid master of Greenheart City, and Nia Zayk, the alchemist master of Aundair, in Yuvana City.

It is rumored that he has a mistress who is a drowsy lady, but no one knows whether it is true or not.

Well, this is the relevant record of our Mechanical Sage of Arcanix, Carl Iris, in the "Chronicles of Khorvaire".

If you have the opportunity to venture into the Air Elemental Plane in the future, you may have the opportunity to visit his Mechanical City and ask him questions."

In the public history class of Akanix, the young teacher closed the textbook and summarized the lesson to the students as the bell rang.

In the corridor outside, a young man with bright red hair and three female companions of different hair colors just passed by the classroom. Opposite them, a lively young woman with chestnut hair was waving at them happily.
