Chapter 878: Chapter 668: Change Back_2
Suddenly, it was as if needles pierced their entire bodies and they rolled on the ground. Intense pain shot through their souls, bending them over, gasping for breath, almost losing consciousness!
“You cannot leave here, you cannot return to reality,” the Nightmare enunciated slowly. “No one is allowed to leave until the God Creation is complete.”
Ash glanced at the operators, then gazed at the Nightmare and said, “But we have the curse of conflicting dreams. I’ll stay as a hostage, even if they don’t return, you can still—”
“But you might leak information to the outside, causing the God Creation to fail,” the Nightmare said. “The mistakes made by the main body must never happen again.”
“As for your lack of concentration and other issues, I’ll solve that for you immediately.”
The Nightmare pointed at Diya, and then waves of boiling water surged from her body. Streams of airflow flowed into the other three along the connection of conflicting dreams. Ash could clearly feel thoughts exploding in his mind, an intense mental boost, making the entire world more vivid.
But the price was that the Witch nearly knelt on the ground, her shoulders trembling with pain!
“Stop!” Ash stood up and blocked between the Nightmare and the Witch, shouting, “What are you doing!?”
“The transformation technique of conflicting dreams,” the Nightmare said. “This technique can connect enemies, allies, or even allies and enemies. When connecting allies, it can consume one person’s soul and provide powerful buffs to all allies.”
“Essentially, it’s consuming the target’s soul limit to increase the soul limit of others, so the target’s soul temporarily cannot return to normal. However, consuming one person to supplement the entire team is worthwhile.”
Sonia went over to hold the Witch, lowered her head, hiding her angry eyes, and said coldly, “Can we continue working then?”
“No,” the Nightmare said. “Even if you don’t say anything, once the Truth Mage enters a lull period, I’ll trigger this Miracle to enhance her soul. Your role is to ensure the Truth Mage holds on until the end.”
“Stop,” Ash said. “Let me do it.”
Diya gritted her teeth and said shakily, “Observer, I, I didn’t—”
“Are you sure?” the Nightmare asked. “I confirmed she’s the one among you with the highest soul limit, that’s why I prioritized her.”
It wasn’t surprising the Witch had the highest soul limit. With multiple personas strengthening her day and night, she started with a twenty-five soul when she entered the Holy Domain and had now reached forty soul.
Ash quickly spent 30 points to purchase a set of Source Crystals, then equipped the Soul Stealing Manual, triggering the effect ‘Soul Burning Map’!
With a deafening wind explosion, he surged rapidly from a thirty soul to a three hundred soul, the increased soul limit made his Soul Body more solid and clear, even the hairs became distinct.
The Nightmare showed no surprise, just nodded and then pointed at Ash.
The massive pressure instantly bent Ash’s waist, as if countless small knives were torturing his soul with pain. If the Soul Body could sweat, he would definitely be drenched!
He covered his mouth to endure, tried to stand straight to resist, but everything only made the pain more intense.
Soon, his consciousness began to collapse, his mind turned blank, replaced by a cold-blooded calm and countless colliding thoughts.
The correct use of conflicting dreams is probably to connect the enemy and yourself, then trigger conflicting dreams on yourself, thereby cursing the enemy with nightmares as well. But evidently, the Nightmare Angel can be immune to nightmares…
The Nightmare Angel failed because of betrayal, so the program it left for the Nightmare emphasized no leaving the Void Realm…
The Nightmare had never attacked before, probably because the keyword ‘leave’ triggered his built-in program, so there must be other dangerous, even deadly keywords…
Weiser watched Ash’s side face transition from unbearable pain to calm, his shoulders no longer trembling, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and an unfathomable light in his eyes, instantly recognizing this as the Observer Ash she once dreamed of.
A more cold-blooded, calmer, more perfect being than her!
Weiser never thought the hope she nearly abandoned would appear before her eyes once more. Almost instinctively, she couldn’t help but wonder—what if Ash really changed?
In the Void Realm, having a perfect Observer Ash leading the team would definitely yield double or even ten times the benefits! No one knew better than Weiser how powerful perfect Ash was; he never realized his potential when normal!
In reality, if Ash changed, she wouldn’t need to consider his psychological endurance, she could simply tell him the truth, and he would become her ally. Moreover, although he wouldn’t like her, he wouldn’t like the Sword Maiden or Witch either, as long as she could keep him by her side… just…
Weiser breathed shallowly but quickly, then with determined eyes, pursed her lips, stood up, and walked towards Ash.
Clearly, the current Ash was more fearless and powerful than before, but Weiser felt heartache, despite having all the reasons to suppress the irrational thought—
Do not change! The rıghtful source is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥
Then she dashed forward, wanting to reach out—
Sonia held Ash in her arms, softly whispering in his ear, affectionately rubbing his face. Diya had also recovered from the earlier pain, holding Ash’s hand, anxious to help but unsure how.
Weiser, a step behind, stopped outside, watching Ash’s expression gradually regain vitality, even showing a hint of pain and pleasure, finally realized—
