I! Cleaner!-Chapter 720 - 655: I Won
[With the full promotion of the "Chaos" Authority, a god-tier nightmare born out of your terror is rapidly merging with you, attempting to elevate your status to a "True God"]
[Due to the influence of the special abnormal object "Dream-Scattering Lamp Wick," the power of this god-tier nightmare was forcibly extracted and dispersed into the current dreamscape, failing to fully merge with you. The status elevation failed, and the corresponding badge was not activated]
[...]
"Ah!!!"
In the instant a long string of notifications flashed past his eyes, Leon’s complexion turned instantly black... it really went completely black.
Forced to merge with the King of Nightmares, his entire body seemed as if it was dredged up from a pool of ink, wholly shrouded in deep, pitch-black darkness, with nothing seen except for two eyes full of agony, no other color visible.
And with this blanket of darkness descended an indescribable, intense pain.
After fully merging with the King of Nightmares, the [Dream-Scattering Lamp Wick] that was originally lodged in his heart was "inherited" by Leon as it was, making a deep hole in his heart.
At this time, Leon, like a pool managed by a mad administrator, felt his body both receiving and releasing "water." The immense force belonging to the King of Nightmares surged in like a tide and then was uncontrollably discharged through the hole made by the [Dream-Scattering Lamp Wick].
Serving as a relay station, Leon felt his soul being stretched vast, as if it might explode at any moment, but the power of the King of Nightmares supported it, never fully collapsing, and under the "washing" of the authority, he seemed to vaguely gain something...
"Zzz..."
[During the process of dispersing the power of this god-tier nightmare through your body into the current dreamscape, you gained partial insights regarding its authority, successfully activating the non-level special badge "Nightmare is the Deepest Fear in the Darkness"]
[Nightmare is the Deepest Fear in the Darkness: As the "entity" of the new King of Nightmares, during the brief merging, you’ve naturally touched upon its three most profound authorities]
[Wearing effects:
Effect one: When it is nighttime, your stamina will be maximized at all times, and your energy will never deplete.
Effect two: The more individuals around you who fear you, and the deeper the fear, the stronger your power will become.
Effect three: When you return to the depths of the Dream Realm, you will undoubtedly be the master of nightmares, the new King of Nightmares]
[Advanced Route: When the self-penetration value reaches 60 points, and after defeating a True God level existence that possesses the "Night" authority, replenishing your missing authority, this badge will automatically advance to the colorful badge "Night Veil King";
When self-penetration value reaches 60 points, and after defeating a True God level existence that possesses the "Fear" authority, replenishing your missing authority, this badge will automatically advance to the colorful badge "Master of Fear";
When self-penetration value reaches 60 points, and after returning to the depths of the Dream Realm, fully merging your existence with the Demonic Soul Abyss, this badge will automatically advance to the colorful badge "Root of the Nightmare"]
[Hidden Trait (no need to wear): Existences coveting any of the three authorities of "Night," "Fear," and "Nightmare" will have a significant chance of initiating an attack on you; Additionally, when the light around you is relatively dim, the evil charm belonging to the King of Nightmares will be activated]
"Leon! Leon, are you alright?"
At the moment the new badge was activated, the princess who was pinned on the sofa with twisted arms seemed to perceive his pain, hurriedly turning her head back, wanting to check on Leon’s condition.
But just as the princess turned her head, the lamp wick on Leon’s chest wobbled slightly, and then with a crisp cracking sound, it was shattered completely by the black torrent.
With this last barrier gone, the power of the King of Nightmares within Leon’s body surged forth completely, in the blink of an eye dyeing the entire dreamscape black, and rapidly spread to the nearby dreamscapes.
Meanwhile, outside of the dreamscape, the Aquarius Director took a deep breath, gripping the golden blade in his hands tightly, slicing along a path only he could see, gritting his teeth and cutting fiercely!
...
"Boom!"
With the Aquarius Director’s action, a sound that didn’t truly exist yet was clearly heard by everyone echoed across the Royal Capital.
As if time had rewound, the pitch-black river that once flooded the entire night sky, intercepted by the Red-haired Director, once again poured into the night sky of the Royal Capital after two months.
But this time, the Nightmare River, without obstruction, took over the entire world in an instant, transforming the current world into another Demonic Soul Abyss.
Under the influence of the rules of the Demonic Soul Abyss, everyone, whether asleep or awake, had their souls instantly expelled from their bodies, plummeting toward the deepest, darkest bottomless abyss below.
At the same time, the pine cone of the [Parasitic Oak] on Leon’s wrist suddenly broke open, countless strands of vivid red hair gushed out, densely reaching down into the bottomless abyss.
In the horror-struck gaze of the Raven Masked Man, those strands of red hair, denser than raindrops, pierced through every falling soul with precision, managing to pull every soul of the millions of residents in the Royal Capital back from the brink of the abyss!
Impossible... She can actually do even this?!
Seeing the blood-red hair not only suspending millions of souls but also having the spare strength to pull upwards, the Raven Masked Man, despite having lost both arms, gasped in disbelief, not daring to believe his own eyes.
As for the Aquarius Director beside him, far from being dismayed at the failure of his plan upon witnessing this, he instead laughed loudly, proceeding to slice through the blackened dreamscape before him, pushing Leon and the princess within the dreamscape down together.
"Aquarius!!!"
Accompanied by an extremely angry shout, another tuft of red hair surged out of the pine cone on Leon’s wrist, attempting to haul the falling Leon back up.
However, having been forced to merge with the King of Nightmares, Leon’s soul, now entirely a nightmare, weighed as much as a True God.
Simultaneously responsible for millions of souls, the Red-haired Director, even acting in fury, failed to pull Leon up. Instead, during his "tug," he crashed directly through the [Parasitic Oak], tumbling out in a somewhat disheveled manner.
"Olivia."
Calling the Red-haired Director by name, the Aquarius Director, upon seeing the increasingly struggling Red-haired Director, almost half of her soul dragged outside her body, couldn’t help but smile.
"Seems like I’ve won after all!"
