Nora's dark side.
Roger Hill.
Vecna wakes up from his deep sleep.
In front of me is the student Shadow Queen.
"Teacher, the full-scale counterattack has begun. The chairman of the Grand Council asked me to wake you up."
He asked, "How long have I slept?"
The Shadow Queen asked, "It's been less than a hundred years. How is the teacher?"
Vekna felt his mental strength growing every moment without the need for meditation. He smiled helplessly and sighed, "I'm getting stronger..."
I am happy when others become stronger.
He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
His human characteristics and emotions are gradually fading, and he is being continuously assimilated by the shadow will. In the long run, he will become a part of the shadow will.
He also knew these when the two worlds merged on the spot.
Vekna smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will guard this place from now on. I see that your mental strength has improved a lot, and it looks like you are about to reach the ninth ring senior level. Come on, become a legend soon."
The Shadow Queen nodded.
"Teacher, I'm leaving first."
Watching the students leave, Vecna murmured, "I don't know how long I can hold out... At least I have to get through this nightmare war. The Abyss is not good at fighting in the dark, so they won't choose this place as a breakthrough point."
…
Nora around.
Star gates flickered in the dark land, and giant star fortresses with shining energy fields emerged from them, carrying war groups to make space jumps.
The Stargate Project has built tens of thousands of hidden stargates in the Pan-Plane. When connected in series, they will allow the Nora Corps to traverse the Pan-Plane within ten years.
Although it is not as good as the shadow webway envisioned by Vecna, its transportation efficiency is far better than that of some giant civilizations that rely on primitive means.
Thirty-six thousand star fortresses quietly surrounded the Nightmare Headquarters in the distance, and then hid in the void through covert means, waiting for unified action.
…
Nightmare world.
Fingel stood on the corpse of a monarch and drew out the Sword of Terror. The deceased was the "Drowned Monarch", a mid-level 10th level warrior who was good at using strange water techniques to drown enemies silently, causing considerable trouble to the legion.
He used his sword to cut open the drowned monarch's swollen belly, which looked like he had drowned. A lot of smelly water flowed out, as well as a sparkling crystal.
"Yes, it can help the ocean faction's nine-ring wizards comprehend the knowledge of water."
Elena and Triss are now senior ninth-ring masters, and they need this item to study spells.
After collecting all the monarch materials, Finkel looked at the fading rootless water. Many figures emerged, they were the soldiers of the legion that were affected.
Some unlucky guys, such as Emperor Mu, took the brunt of tons of damage and was directly killed by the Drowned Monarch. He is now running towards this side.
Everyone was amazed to see Finkel display his power.
"Too strong, mid-level tenth level, nothing more than this."
"Yes, we have already taken over 12 major domains."
They conquered cities and captured surrendered troops along the way. The strength of the Dusk Legion had increased by half compared to when they first entered, and it was still snowballing.
Last year, in addition to the Lord of the Alley, another Lord betrayed Nightmare. It was none other than the "Lord of the Blood Sea Mosquito" who had previously abandoned his armor and fled in panic.
It pretended to be dead to avoid being called up, but was still hit by Finkel.
This man, dressed in a blood-stained robe, surrounded by countless mosquitoes and a surging sea of blood, with the cultivation level of mid-level tenth, and the Lord of the Alley, became Finkel's left and right bodyguards.
"Sir, please come this way. I know the secluded place of another monarch."
The Blood Sea Mosquito King had a flattering smile, and with the mentality of "If I don't live well, you won't live well either", he became the guide. Finkel smiled and said, "That's right, you will be rewarded handsomely when you capture Nightmare in the future."
…
Pharmacists Association.
Elena changed out of her pharmacist robes and put on armor.
Triss asked, "Are you planning on going to the front lines?"
Elena said: "Well, now the potion project is almost done, and my heart is still more eager to fight, and I don't want Levi to go to the battlefield alone."
Triss said, "Okay, take care of yourself. I have a mission here and cannot accompany you to the battlefield. The two potions I prepared for you will have miraculous effects if used properly."
Two bottles of potion, one red and one blue, appeared in Elena's palm.
Over the years, the Pharmacists Association has continued to research nightmare potions.
First, a red "illusion-breaking potion" was created. Its effect was that within a period of time after taking it, even wizards who were not from the dream school could see through any illusion that was not at level ten. Even a level ten illusion could have a certain effect.
There is also a blue "Potion of Sinking" with the opposite effect. It can be used as a casting material and integrated into any combat spell. After hitting the enemy, it can temporarily trap any non-level 10 being in the virtual world. It is also a life-saving trump card.
"Thank you very much. You will become the God of Medicine."
Elena turned and left, rushing to the front line.
Soon, an old and tall figure emerged.
It was the Immortal of a Thousand Mountains. He said calmly, "Triss, the Association is relying on you while I'm away."
Triss nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, teacher."
Qianshan Immortal said: "This crystal ball contains all my knowledge and insights about pharmacy. You should study it carefully. I now think that you can definitely become a legend and be better than me... You just need time and confidence."
Triss said: "Teacher...you."
Qianshan Immortal said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't make a will in advance with the intention of dying, I just made it in case of an emergency."
Only then did Triss take the crystal ball and watch the teacher leave.
Afterwards, she said goodbye to many pharmacists.
Because they are also nine-ring wizards and are equally important combat forces.
Her face showed both anticipation and worry. She longed for victory in the war, but was also worried that this counterattack would take away those familiar friends and they would never see each other again.
She looked into the deep sky and seemed to see the figure in the pure white wizard robe.
"With Levi here, Nora will be fine."
"Everyone can triumph."
…
A dark place.
Four hundred monarchs formed some kind of giant ritual formation.
The Disaster Lord hung high in the center of the magic circle, his aura soaring to the sky.
An indescribable aura flowed out from the bodies of many monarchs and was sent into the body of the Disaster Monarch along with the magic circle. At the same time, countless nightmare creatures silently lost their vitality and turned into a dazzling crystal.
The monarchs of Death and Ignorance stood at the two poles with complicated expressions.
A new supreme being is about to be born in Nightmare, the Lord of Disaster.
The reason why the Four Nightmare Emperors are important is that each of them is a candidate for the Supreme Being. At the critical moment, Nightmare can forcibly produce a supreme being by sacrificing countless lives at the bottom by robbing Peter to pay Paul.
In the long run, this may not be a good thing for Nightmare. But at this point, especially after seeing the power of the Chaos Emperor, Nightmare can only do this.
The will of nightmare is restrained by the mother river.
The Lord of Terror was restrained by the Underworld Ancestor.
On the other hand, Nora still has two supreme fighters, Amon and Chaos Emperor. Relying on the two Four Emperors, if Amon does not explode, one can be restrained.
But Nightmare has only two options if he wants to contain the Chaos Emperor.
One is to gather the strength of hundreds of monarchs to form a military formation.
The second is the birth of another supreme being.
The first method had already failed once in the last Nightmare War. This method of outnumbering the enemy was useless against the Chaos Emperor.
Now we can only take the second path.
As time passed, in an instant, one third of the nightmare creatures turned into nutrients for the brilliant crystals. They might be unwilling in their hearts, but they could do nothing about it.
Before the brutal war, the bottom layer is destined to be fuel.
"Report! Nora's entire army is dispatched and heading towards our camp."
For a moment, the Nightmare Military Camp became tense.
The ignorant military leader said: "It seems that Nora wants to disrupt our ceremony."
The Lord of Death sneered and said, "Our ceremony is almost over. It is a foregone conclusion that the Lord of Disaster will become the new Supreme. Nora is late. What follows is a real life-and-death battle."
The ignorant monarch suddenly asked: "Do you think we can win?"
The Lord of Death said sternly: "I believe in Nightmare! We will definitely win!"
The ignorant monarch nodded slightly.
The slate appeared in its mind.
It asked itself a question it had never asked before the war.
"Can Nightmare win?"
The slate gave the answer quickly, just as usual.
[Nightmare can't win, but you may live]
In an instant, the ignorant monarch's mind began to buzz.
The slate has always been accurate.
The choices it gives are all the best options that suit the current situation, so even if there was a big defeat in the last war, Ignorance did not think it was the problem of the stone slab.
The slate was so certain that Nightmare would fail.
It made it even more desperate as it already had no confidence.
“How should I live?”
It asked.
After a moment, the slate gave the answer.
After reading it, the ignorant monarch felt torn between his conscience and his desires.
…
The place where the battle between Nightmare Will and the Supreme Mother River took place.
"Do you in the underworld really want to support Nora's rise? Be careful not to raise a tiger that will harm you in the end... Stop it, isn't the situation of our four families good enough?"
After discovering that the violent attack was futile, the Nightmare Will decided to "convince people with reason."
Without the support of the underworld, Nora is nothing.
The mighty Mother River, with its whirlpool of death, responded with a silent attack.
…
At this time, the abyss was still on the way.
The Chaos Servant said, "Sir, Nora and the Underworld have launched a full-scale counterattack. More than 90% of the military forces have left Nora. From now on, the two sides will definitely fight to the death."
The Abyss Will said, "Let's fight. We will watch the show while we travel. A civilization war of this magnitude will take at least a thousand years. We arrived at the right time."
…
Astral world.
From weak gods to some powerful gods.
不少目光也在关注着这一战。
星祖诏令，暂未参与围剿虫族的神明全部在风暴神域集结。众神明白，星界也将会有大动作。
以星祖祂老人家的算计。
下面打生打死的那两方，大概率还是给星界做嫁衣。
这的确是一个变革的时代。
四大巨无霸格局被打破。
星界有希望独掌黑暗宇宙。
就看能否把握住这一波机遇了。
对于借势，星界向来是最在行的。
……
一段时间后。
黄昏剑河前，一支由近三百位十级强者组成的队伍踏空而来，经过千年成长，剑河绵延千万里，浩**无边。
在其四周，漂浮着不少噩梦生物、恶魔的尸体。这些是一些心存侥幸的偷渡者的，它们以为剑河是死物。
殊不知，当黄昏殿主斩出那一剑后。剑河便成为了天下剑道修行者的信仰，成为了诺拉的象征。无数剑者于此地悟道，无数人慕名而来拜访圣地。
此方宇宙，是有信仰和精神之力的。剑河已经拥有了某种神性。感受到李维的到来，剑河发出懵懂的意识。
它欣喜无比。
“主人……”
李维脑海中，似乎出现了稚嫩之音。
他望着剑河，露出欣慰的表情。
“你已经成长到如此地步了啊。”
“是的。”
这道意识如同幼童。
李维一脚踏入剑河，亿万剑气组成浪花，将李维托举至万里高空，浪花中央，剑气又凝形为散发着锐气的王座。
剑之王座！
其他人震惊的望着这一幕。
“这……这黄昏剑河居然有生命了？”
“不算是生命，只是些许灵性。”
“那王座也就大议会长能坐，其他人坐上去，屁股都削没了，哈哈哈哈！”有人忽然笑道。
“的确，看来我们胜算又大了一些，这条剑河的实力，怕是不逊色于顶级强者了，若是它不断成长下去，吸收来自诺拉和全天下剑者之信仰，甚至有望至高。”
“是啊，有黄昏母河，有时光长河……我们再来一条剑道之河，汇聚剑道之力，不比那所谓的神明强？”
李维坐在剑气王座上。
他俯瞰军团，念头一动，剑河四周又幻化出一道绵延千万里的长城，如同一条剑气飘带的金边，震撼无比。
每隔十万里，还有一座烽火台般的节点。
李维胜利之剑向天，高声道：“上剑气城墙，我们杀过去！”
埃蒙哈哈大笑，第一个跃入烽火台，万千剑气不加身，只是环绕于埃蒙四周，形成一道天然屏障。
苍天意志拍手叫好。
“好啊，我们还有这样的王牌。”
一位位顶级强者自发的站在城墙四周，每隔一段距离，列阵一位，如此可保证战线的兵力均衡。最终，近300位十级，数千位九级全部列阵于烽火台，战意盎然。
冥祖和埃蒙站在王座两侧。
李维最后检阅了一番军队。
“剑河，你只管冲入梦魇军营！”
“好的，主人。”
哗啦啦！一条千万里的长龙呼啸而去。
剑河速度奇快，出入虚空，瞬息亿里。
没过多久，众人便看到前方的梦魇军营。
恐怖之主，无知君主和死亡君主屹立于高天上，军营深处，似乎有一道至高气势快要形成，正在复苏。
李维道：“看来灾难君主已经至高了。”
冥祖道：“无妨，这种灌顶的至高，是消耗梦魇自身的潜力得来的，高层强了，必然是底层被削了。
梦魇的综合实力不仅没有变强，反而可能弱了，此战过后，无论我们是输是赢，梦魇都将不足为惧。”
身为巨无霸，她最清楚这一点。以冥界的底蕴，何尝不能再多搞一个至高出来？只是没必要。
有四大至高意志在，除了星界，其他三个巨无霸，人手一位至高代理人便足以坐镇万古，岿然不动。
埃蒙道：“那就劳烦女士牵制恐怖之主一段时间，新的至高交给我和李维对付，我们会争取速战速决！剩下两位四皇和诸多魔君级大敌，就交给排名靠前的冥皇和诺拉顶级强者。”
冥祖道：“此战只要我们竭尽全力，肯定能赢，但要小心星界和深渊趁火打劫……我们可以适当的留一手。”
李维道：“明白，此战最重要的是多杀一些君主，以恐怖之主和梦魇意志的手段，即便战败，我们大概也留不住。
但若是把四百君主杀个七七八八，再将底层倾覆，两个苟延残喘的光杆至高也不足为惧，可秋后斩之。当然，若是能一鼓作气将其灭杀，最好不过。”
另一边。
恐怖之主眼神凝重。
“这条河流，居然也诞生了神性。”
两位四皇面色也不好看。
接下来这一战，凶多吉少。
早知如此，还不如守在家中，被动防御。最起码还能吃个地利优势，多苟活一段时间。
冥祖率先发难。
她秀手持剑，剑气卷起死亡和轮回气息，营造出一片幽冥地狱般的浩瀚世界，将恐怖之主卷入其中。
恐怖之主身后，万千恐惧意象浮现。
“森罗万象印！”
它胸口浮现一道黑红色的八芒星图案。
噗呲，胸口血肉炸开，从中伸出一张血淋淋鬼手，鬼手五爪尖锐，以诡异的姿态洞穿时空，直击冥祖面门。冥祖抬剑格挡，叮的一声被轰飞，剑身剧烈颤抖。
她停下身形，举剑斩来，面色些许苍白。
“这厮一上来便动用这种数个纪元都没有用过的底牌招式，看来梦魇也知道自己山穷水尽，要殊死拼命了。”
同样是至高代理人，两人实力相差无几。
再加上明争暗斗亿万年，都知根知底。
此战若是没有外力干涉，打个万年都很正常。
“关键还是李维那一战。若是他能像上次那样打开局面，和埃蒙一道来支援我，便有希望将其留下。”
冥祖也使出底牌手段，与恐怖之主周旋。
另一边。
黄昏剑河横冲直撞，朝着军营冲去。
无知君主身后浮现一片盲目痴愚之景，仿佛打开一大片降智的光环，神光扫在剑河上，令其出现片刻迷茫。
不少烽火台上的十级强者也露出一副呆傻模样。
四皇绝招·痴愚之地！
“六神苍天掌！”
轰轰轰……六道通天彻地的惊雷自天心垂落，击穿痴愚之地，一只绵延百万里的巨掌在雷霆中横压下来！
苍天意志沐浴雷光，仿佛回到昔日峥嵘岁月。
无知君主身形狂闪，躲开这一击。
它望着高塔，面无表情道：“不愧是蛮族之祖，有些手段。”
看来这位已经重回巅峰。不比它这样的四皇差多少，阻拦自己是没问题了……这样正好。
之前石板给它的保命方案是这样的：
【此战梦魇必输，但也可分为两种情况。
第一，梦魇迅速落败，被诺拉横推，兵败如山倒。那不要犹豫，早点投降，诺拉要面对的敌人还有更强大的深渊和星界。正是用人之时，不会拒绝你的归顺。
第二，梦魇虽落败，但仍旧保留了不少有生力量撤离。那就假装投降诺拉，卧薪尝胆，等待梦魇王者归来，和梦魇里应外合，拿下诺拉，重振梦魇荣光！
总之，想要活命，唯有投降。
否则以至高意志的手段，你若是背叛它，在此方宇宙，躲到天涯海角也能将你找到，最终还是死路一条！】
石板给的方案很现实，也很中肯！
无知君主内心暗道：“我便先与这实力相差无几的苍天意志大战一段时间，这样至高们也看不出我在划水等待时机。”
无知君主冲天而起和苍天意志大战，打到战场边荒，它还不忘说道：“纵然是打一千年，我也要将你拿下！”
苍天意志冷笑：“你也得有这个本事。”
它相信李维和埃蒙出手，那新晋至高活不了多久。到时候战力失衡，两大王牌杀入十级战场，梦魇便是溃败之局。
事实上。
现在看起来是梦魇的十级多，但真正的十级战力，却是冥界和诺拉更强，因为冥界的十级中期冥皇太多了。
故而哪怕李维那边迟迟无法决出胜负，时间一长，十级战场的最终胜者，依旧是他们这一边。
梦魇根本支撑不了多久。
……
另一边。
死亡君主施展出“死葬之群”，乌泱泱的死亡之仆蜂拥而出，其体量快要比得上一整个地狱。
它选中了冥狱之手这位新晋的顶级强者。
“将此人击杀，我的死葬之群或许还能更进一步。”
冥狱之手的道路和它类似，它觊觎已久。
冥狱之手怡然不惧，正打算试试四皇之威时，忽然天地间有滔滔不绝黑白烈焰浮现，充斥方圆百万里。
一位背生黑白羽翼的年轻人手握双剑，施施然降临。他左半身躯光滑如玉，生机勃勃，另一半却枯瘦腐朽，死气沉沉，左手持着黑色锁链，右手绑着白色飘带。
看到此人，死亡君主面色变化。
“黑白冥皇？你不是闭关感悟至高吗？”
黑白冥皇，又被称为生死冥皇。
他神秘无比，乃是第二冥皇。
Ever since the First Hades Emperor reincarnated and left the underworld, he has always been regarded as the successor of the Underworld Ancestor, and his strength and prestige are one level higher than those of the Four Emperors.
As the name implies, the Emperor of Life and Death controls life and death. He possesses two top-level underworld weapons, one is the "Lock of Death" and the other is the "Dance of Life".
This is the enemy that the Death Lord is most reluctant to face.
In terms of death, it is no less terrible than this man.
But he is practicing both life and death, and life and death are mutually reinforcing and restraining, so he can completely defeat it.
The Black and White Hades Emperor smiled and said, "Supreme is not important, killing you is more important."
The Lord of Death sneered: "Don't dream, no one can kill me."
The black chains and white ribbons appeared to be tens of millions of miles long, surrounding the entire battlefield and condensing into a life and death realm like a yin and yang fish.
The Black and White Hades Emperor said confidently: "Today, the two of us will fight to the death."
The Lord of Death controlled countless servants to kill, but they were all wiped out by the domain.
“Damn it!”
Two of the Four Emperors were all restrained.
But as Nightmare is a giant, it naturally has many top-level powerhouses.
There are also some top-level ten masters, such as the "Lord of Doom" and the "Lord of Oblivion". They are all top-tier masters whose strength is second only to the Four Emperors.
But in terms of level ten quality, the underworld is never false.
The Wheel-Turning Hades Emperor, the Emperor of Ten Deaths... and the two legendary dragons that roam the battlefield with their wings covering the sky: the Void Hades Emperor and the Mind Hades Emperor.
The former controlled the void, and every time he cut into the void, the monarchs were caught off guard. The latter swept across with his golden dragon pupils, and the invisible spiritual shock swept across a million miles.
Anyone who was swept, even if they were at the early stage of level 10, would be hit. The two legendary dragons cooperated, and no monarch dared to approach the battlefield, and they all retreated.
The other elite Hades and legendary wizards were fighting one against two. This made the Nightmare, who had the advantage in numbers, not have the upper hand at the beginning. Not to mention, there was also the Eight Formation Battle Group led by the ninth level, which interspersed the battlefield from time to time to provide support.
As soon as the battle began, a monarch was in danger.
A burly figure in a bearskin cloak called the wind with his left hand and snow with his right hand. The cold winter air from the north blew over 90,000 miles and swept the "Jealous Monarch". This monarch had managed to survive the last war, but fell to the early stage of level ten.
We were not so lucky this time.
Seeing his teammates controlling a powerful enemy, a flaming fist as big as the sun, with a diameter of thousands of miles, streaked across the night sky like a meteor and hit the Jealous Monarch directly.
A bald man rushed into the battlefield, it was the Fenji Divine Wizard.
The light from the explosion of ice and fire illuminates the darkness.
Another golden light came with a sword and penetrated into the ice and fire.
Not long after.
Lyon's long sword picked up a true spirit and broke through the air and left. The death of a generation of strong men who could be called "the jealous little demon king" marked the beginning of the fall of the tenth-level strong men.
The great victory in the first battle greatly boosted Nora's confidence.
"kill!"
The Barbarian Lord, the Giant King, the Mythical Beast Tamer, the Ancient Mage... these stars hanging high in the sky of Nora stood behind the Great Wall of Sword Qi with invincible momentum to fight against the enemy.
From a bird's eye view, it looks like a group of people are guarding the Great Wall. With the Great Wall as a shield behind them, everyone can safely fight the enemy in front of them.
Time passes.
The Sword Energy Wall was like a mobile fortress and had already arrived deep into the Nightmare Camp. Nightmare creatures were everywhere, rushing towards it like a surging tide.
On the Great Wall, legendary spells and nine-ring spells fell from the sky. Behind them, star fortresses appeared out of nowhere, emitting blue light, cutting through the battlefield, and killing a large number of enemies.
Wizards, knights, airbenders, and powerful warriors from all races all rushed out to fight.
This is the final battle of civilization, and no one can stay out of it.
Elena was surrounded by the strong smell of liquor, standing on the wizard tower, holding a divine sword in her hand. Behind her was the invincible war group that had been training for a thousand days in the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Li Wei divided the Ancient Dragon Continent troops into two groups. One group went straight to Huanglong in the depths of Nightmare and captured cities. The other group followed the army and fought against the main force of Nightmare outside the boundary.
This moment.
Those nightmare monarchs who have been sleeping for a long time finally witnessed Nora's true strength. Perhaps without the underworld, it would not be easy for Nightmare to defeat Nora.
at the same time.
The figures in pure white robes and scarlet flame robes came to the deepest part, which was filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and was shrouded in billions of wronged souls. It was a world of its own, and great terror was brewing there.
boom!
Big red suns bombarded the spirit circle one after another, eventually creating a gap. From here, one could see an indifferent supreme figure opening his eyes.
