Chapter 90: 68. Dusk Sleep_3
Translator: 549690339
The setting sun hung low in the sky, casting its light on the mountain peaks, releasing tens of thousands of radiant glow, turning the entire sky a blood-red color.
The breathtaking view of the sunset was captivating, yet Noland Lee couldn’t bring himself to exclaim in admiration.
All because of an enormous figure, whose neck was bound by a rope dangling from an infinitely high place, hung dead in the twilight sky.
The giant figure seemed to reach the heavens and touch the earth, as if it could shatter the clouds with a simple flick of its hand or crush mountains and rivers with a single step.
But, it was hung to death.
It died on a black rope that extended from the depths of the cosmos.
Noland raised his head and squinted into the distance, but his eyes couldn’t find the end of the black rope in the sky through the fiery red clouds.
Mysterious wind blew past.
The enormous figure hanging in the air swayed with the wind.
A thunderous rumble emanated from the figure’s body, unleashing roaring sound waves that blew away all the scattered clouds and made the earth tremble incessantly.
A full minute later, the echoes in the mountains finally subsided.
The earth returned to its calm state, with light clouds and gentle breeze, and the setting sun remained unchanged.
What kind of Dreamscape was this?
Who was the person hung dead in the sky?
What did he look like? Why was he hanged?
Who hung him there?
Where did that rope come from?
Did this Dreamscape have any hidden meanings?
A long list of questions floated through Noland’s mind.
He looked down at his body.
His torso and limbs were gone, replaced by a light golden orb floating one meter above the ground.
He tested his limitations.
In this mysterious Dreamscape, he could fly freely.
His flight speed was comparable to the running speed of an average human.
He could also fly upward at an unchanged speed.
It might appear to be close, but the mountain range beneath the giant’s feet was his point of reference, so the horizontal distance between Noland and the giant should be around twenty kilometers. And, the altitude of the other party should be more than two thousand meters high.
Despite this significant distance and height difference, the giant still occupied half of the sky and blocked a part of the sunset glow, revealing just how astonishingly enormous his size was.
No matter how hard he tried, Noland couldn’t estimate the true scale of this astonishing giant.
“Anyway, I have to go to the mountain range beneath the hanging figure. It’s the nearest place, and there might be something to discover,” he thought.
Noland floated forwards before quickly realizing he had forgotten something.
Facing the direction of the hanging figure, he muttered in his heart: “Activate Deconstruction Technique targeted at the hanging figure in the sky.”
[System Message: You’re about to use “Deconstruction” on an “Unknown
Target. ” ]
[It is predicted that every 3 billion Energy Points consumed can increase the degree of completion by 1%.]
[You currently have 10 Points of Energy Value. Do you want to continue with the Deconstruction?]
[System reminder: Your Energy Points are too low. It may not yield accurate deconstruction results.]
“Damn it! It takes 300 billion Energy Points to fully deconstruct this! What in the world is this thing?”
Noland sighed towards the figure and said:
“Master, what is it that you do? Why is it that even after you died, I still need to consume so many Energy Points to deconstruct you? Are you a dead Creator God?”
Noland thought about the passive effect of Deconstruction Technique, and his heart was on fire.
“It won’t work!
If nothing else works, I’ll go all-in and use all the Energy Points I have to deconstruct him before the Dreamscape ends. Oh right, this Dreamscape’s duration is limited. I must hurry up.”
Noland checked his Personal Panel.
As expected, there were a few new lines of text on the “Dusk Sleep” entry:
[It is predicted that in 23 hours and 55 minutes, the Twilight Dreamscape will come to an end. You will be forced to wake up from your sleep, and you will receive a new negative effect. The system predicts a mild feeling of nausea.]
“I need to hurry up…”
Noland buried his “head” and sped silently towards the mountain range beneath the hanging figure..
