The Era of Gods Chapter 325 – The Will of the Nightmare World?

Chapter 325: Chapter 325: The Will of the Nightmare World?

That thing is still at the Legendary level.

Although its size is unimaginably large, it remains at the Rank 8 Legend tier and has not transcended this level.

Strength and size might contribute to one’s power level, but they are not absolute, as there are many life forms that are large in size but weak in power.

Of course, the monstrous size of this creature is not for show, otherwise it wouldn’t seem to be destroying a Nightmare Realm overseen by a Child of Nightmare all by itself.

From what can be seen now, the Nightmare Creatures within this Nightmare Realm appear to have been mostly devoured by that monster, and it is now hammering away at the core of the Nightmare Realm, which, in the Divine Realm, is akin to assaulting the True Body of Lin Xiao within the God Country.

“I hope that Child of Nightmare drops dead soon!”

Only when the Child of Nightmare falls will the portal connecting the Divine Realm and the Realm begin to slowly collapse and separate.

If that Child of Nightmare can hold on, that monster might leave for another space upon failing to destroy the Nightmare core, as it has already noticed him. If it can’t break the Nightmare core, it will most likely come here.

Even though the current rift between the two realms is not large enough to allow it to pass through, as the war continues, the portal connecting to the Divine Realm will get larger and larger until one side of both Divine Realms completely align, expanding the portal to an entire face.

Meanwhile, within another Nightmare Realm at its core, Bernie’s True Body—a Giant even taller and covered in dark gold than the Legendary Nightmare Giant—slowly opened his eyes. With a massive right hand, he held out a rhombic crystal with countless facets that slowly floated above his palm. Watching the crystal with a gaze full of reverence and tension, the Giant muttered softly,

“O Supreme Nightmare’s Will, please grant me the power to change everything!”

The rhombic crystal began to slowly emit a faint glorious light that grew brighter and brighter while a gargantuan will that was beyond imagination slowly descended.

This will was so vast it was indescribable, yet it seemed to lack independent volition, merely mechanically conveying a message that made the Giant’s eyes light up:

“Please make a choice.”

A more specific and detailed message appeared in the Giant’s mind. His large pupils revealed a hint of shock as he quickly perused the vast information, murmuring to himself,

“So that’s how it is, that’s how it is.”

His breathing sped up, and his eyes flickered with a strange light, showing his current state of confusion and excitement.

“How should I choose? This is the wish of the Leader of Gainer, if I use it…”

He was fully aware of the consequences of his actions, but faced with the current crisis and upon seeing the effects of this treasure, his heart was irresistibly moved, and he wanted to take a risk.

Favor Crystal of Nightmare’s Will: A crystal bestowed by the Nightmare’s Will to the super-elite of the Nightmare World, capable of fulfilling one wish of the favored.

As a member of Team Genillon, Bernie was well aware that this treasure was something that only the very top elites of the Nightmare World possessed. If not for the restrictions of this world, which prevented Gainey Lun from bringing it in, it would never have been Bernie’s turn to even see or touch it.

He also knew what consequences his premature use of this thing would entail, even if he was in a desperate situation.

No reason would permit him to use this treasure that did not belong to him, but Bernie couldn’t help himself. He clearly knew that if he could use and assimilate this treasure, his power would leap forward, elevating him to the topmost elite of his generation in the Nightmare World.

But he also knew full well the massive risks of using this treasure without permission. Even if he survived, he would face Gainey Lun’s merciless punishment and might be stripped of all his power and killed.

“I…”

Remembering the overwhelming strength of that human challenger from a moment ago, Bernie took a deep breath, clasped his hands around the rhombic crystal, and beams of glorious light sprayed out from between his fingers.

He knew the consequences, but he also knew that without it, he had absolutely no chance against that player from the Human Divine Realm.

He made the wise choice between dying now or dying later.

“Buzz!”

Beams of light indescribable in words shot out from the depths of the Nightmare Realm, piercing the lightless Darkness and reaching straight into the Vault of Heaven.

The next second, countless beams of light joined together, forming a sea of light that gushed from Bernie’s eternally sunless Nightmare depths like a Tide, flooding in all directions and illuminating the entire Realm.

In the light that illuminated the entire Field, Lin Xiao felt a great terror about to descend. His will retreated swiftly from behind the passage between the two domains, and as he looked back, he saw the defense barrier woven by the massive Nightmare Power summoned by Bernie pierced with countless fine rays, looking like a beach made of sand piles eroded instantly by the sea.

Then, just like turning on the lights in a dark room at night, dazzling light burst forth from the passage between the two domains, reaching thousands of meters into the Divine Realm.

After that, Lin Xiao sensed a will that made his skin crawl descending upon his Divine Realm. It spread rapidly like a living thing and soon discovered him, the Divine Realm Master.

Next came an overwhelming, naked malevolence that smothered him.

The malevolence was so intense that Lin Xiao began to wonder if it was specifically targeting him.

At the same time, the light also entered the domains of the other two Children of Nightmare through the channels previously linked by Bernie, on the left Isaiah felt nothing but awe towards the power of Nightmare’s Will from the Nightmare World, whereas Gould on the right showed extreme rejection to this force.

Or perhaps it should be said that he, who was gradually being corrupted by the strange and twisting power of the colossal mass of flesh, had begun to fall. He started to reject his own original Nightmare Power.

In the core of his domain, his True Body could hardly maintain its original form.

As the Nightmare Creatures in the domain died one after another, the strength of the Children of Nightmare, whose power mainly drew from the domain’s Nightmare Creatures, diminished gradually. Formerly, they could maintain their status by relying on previously accumulated Nightmare Power, but now, nearly all of the accumulated power was exhausted, and facing the twisting force of corruption that even the domain couldn’t withstand, Gould was on the verge of falling.

At this moment, his consciousness was no longer clear; he could not distinguish friend from foe. Were it not for the residual instinct of his will to unconsciously resist, he probably would have already let go and embraced the embrace of that colossal being.

But his resistance now was essentially futile; either falling or perishing seemed inevitable.

As the will of the Nightmare World descended upon this domain and began an automatic Purification of non-Nightmare forces, that enormous creature that was devouring the Nightmare core jolted as if strongly stimulated, releasing its devouring grip and raising its kilometer-long massive arms, thundering toward the passageway linking to Bernie’s Nightmare Realm.

This was not a surprise; after all, this colossal being came from an alien world that had been invaded by the Nightmare World. The native creatures inside naturally rejected the beings of the Nightmare World, the stronger the Child of Nightmare, the greater the rejection.

When it sensed the invading perpetrator’s will of Nightmare, this being’s reaction was nothing out of the ordinary.

Therefore, Lin Xiao, who was inside the Divine Realm, tensely issuing Divine-mandate in preparation to confront the increasingly malicious intent, suddenly discovered that the terrifying malevolence that almost burst into his Divine Realm had inexplicably retracted and vanished, as if it had never appeared, like an illusion.

He looked dumbfounded for a good while before sending another exploration team. A trace of his will attached to the explorers, re-entering Bernie’s domain.

The moment they stepped through the passage between the two domains, they witnessed a terrifying giant as high as a thousand meters tall, resembling a mountain range, locked in a fierce battle with the mass of flesh. On the other side, the channels to Bernie and Gould’s domains had been torn open on both sides, creating a flat chasm for as far as the eye could see, and the two domains were now fully connected across tens of kilometers.

The terrifying giant was covered in a thick layer of invisible distortion; the massive arms of the flesh mountain struck it, causing ripples but unable to breach it.

At the same time, the terrifying giant radiated an invisible attraction, continuously drawing in all the Nightmare Power within the domain into itself. On the left side of Bernie’s domain, the channel to Isaiah’s domain was wide open, and the Nightmare Power was continuously sucked over to supplement the terrifying giant’s own power.

Even though the Nightmare Giant was far smaller than the colossal creature, its power was substantial, and it was more agile compared to the large mass of flesh, which seemed to be unable to overcome the Nightmare Giant.

At that moment, almost no scattered Nightmare Power remained in the Nightmare Realm; the entire domain regained clarity. From afar, one could see that the core of Bernie’s domain had disappeared. It was uncertain where this Child of Nightmare was, whether he was still alive, or indeed, whether the terrifying giant was him.

“What the actual fuck!”

Lin Xiao was speechless, as neither the unknown strange flesh ball nor the terrifying Nightmare Giant, thousands of meters tall, were something he should be dealing with at his level. These were challenges reserved for those at least at the Semi-God Level.

In fact, in this world, the least of the Children of Nightmare were comparable to human students in their senior year of high school; his coming here was somewhat forced.

It was fortunate that his strength was sufficient for if it were any other second-year high school student, they would have probably met a gruesome end.

Luo Shuang, Wu Zhonglin, and the other military elites like him had also fallen into this world. He wondered how they were faring now and whether any had perished.

This also demonstrated that the dangers they had previously faced were limited in scope, all of which were orchestrated, and they were basically able to cope.

This situation would continue until their college entrance examination at the end of their senior year; all students would be protected until then. After the exams, the level of protection would significantly decrease, and opportunities and resources would no longer be as easily and safely obtained as before.

The ordeal faced by Lin Xiao now was what normal Divine Territory Players or college students had to contend with in the Outland. They had to deal with not only the unknown environment of Alien Worlds but also face the natives and even hostile civilizations. A moment’s inattention could lead to their demise.

Luckily, this wasn’t Lin Xiao’s first encounter with an unstoppable situation; he experienced it once before in the Ruins of Myriad.

With this experience, he knew clearly that this was not the time to panic. He observed calmly before figuring out how to respond.
