Back in the material world, dreams had been repeatedly mentioned and researched, but there had never been a conclusive conclusion.
Why did people dream? Why did they have specific dreams? Was it related to reality?
For a very long time, science was unable to explain dreams. Theology and philosophy were the only ones that could provide explanations. In fact, each of these theories even gave birth to a complete system of dream divination.
Many times, dreams were viewed as a type of warning and warning before modern technology could explain dreams as a system related to the cerebral cortex.
But in Aichy, the situation was slightly different. Dreams weren't a theoretical system to begin with.
After a person fell asleep, their soul would still be moving about in a daze. This pure illusion created by their consciousness was what mages called the source of dreams.
Due to the existence of mind magic, dreams became a type of weakness. Casually opening one's mind and soul would be an incredibly foolish behavior.
Apart from the Gods, the ones who loved to influence mortals through dreams were the demons, devils, and Evil Gods from the Chaos Abyss.
There was a type of dream witchcraft curse that would mark mortals with a mark. Then, Evil Gods and devils would wait for the mortals to fall asleep and have a heart-to-heart talk with them.
Threats and temptations were actually the easiest to deal with. The most terrifying thing was to use divine power or mana to create a realistic illusion that would grind or corrode one's heart. This would subconsciously change one's personality and soul, causing the mortals to unknowingly go astray.
Even the Gods knew such evil spells. Those who claimed to have received a divine revelation and were received by the Gods in their dreams were mostly examples of such spells.
Of course, such spells consumed a lot of energy, and their effects were slow and time-consuming. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to use them.
Top-level warriors would intentionally temper their willpower and seal off the windows to their souls. Mages would even more carefully protect the integrity of their souls. Only diviners and demon warlocks would treat their dreams as a type of resource.
"Did you recently project your soul into the Chaos Abyss?"
Top-level demon warlocks were capable of creating projections in their dreams and possessing low-level or mid-level demons or demon corpses in order to obtain knowledge from the Chaos Abyss.
In theory, this was basically the same as the Gods' incarnations in the mortal world. However, mortals could only safely have their souls leave their physical bodies while they were asleep. If the incarnation died, the losses would be tremendous.
In order to protect the integrity of their own will, demon masters would create artificial demons or demon hybrids, mixing their own bloodline into them, and then tossing them into the Chaos Abyss as puppets.
The growth of the demon type job class couldn't be separated from the Chaos Abyss. Demon Warlocks would either control demons or be controlled by demons. Not to mention having a normal mentality, it would already be extremely rare for a demon warlock to not be a lunatic with schizophrenia.
They would either unearth their Abyss Devil bloodline or pour their consciousness into their Abyss Devil bodies to comprehend and learn everything about Abyss Devils. Many Demon Warlocks did this, and at some point, their bodies and souls had become purebred Abyss Devils.
The greatest fear of this profession was entering the Chaos Abyss with one's physical body. Other job classes would be able to return after entering the Chaos Abyss. However, if a Demon Warlock entered the Chaos Abyss, they would immediately lose control of their bloodline due to the will of the Chaos Abyss. Becoming a Demon Warlock would also mean giving up on their mortal identity.
This was an occupation that normal people could not do. After doing it for a long time, normal people would also become abnormal.
When you stared at the Abyss, the Abyss would also stare at you. The price of borrowing the power of demons to pursue power was to constantly be on guard against the Abyss's gaze.
"Has your soul catalyst been captured by another Demon Boss, and he's causing trouble for you through the catalyst?"
Maria kept shaking her head upon hearing this.
"Soul projection is far too dangerous. I've never used it before."
High-level mages would seal off their own dreams. Only a few mage job classes would use their own dreams. It was indeed quite abnormal for the most famous Demon Warlock in the world to have continuous nightmares.
"But that has nothing to do with me …"
Originally, I would have confidently said this out loud. However, I was rather annoyed that she mentioned "Eliza".
At this moment, I more or less understood why Maria's magical wavelengths were so familiar. Her magical wavelengths were quite similar to Eliza's half-human, half-demon state.
However, this only made me even more unable to understand.
Something like magical wavelengths was like a person's fingerprint. Although it was related to the type of magic one learned, it was more related to a person's personal characteristics. Magic originated from the soul, so a person's personal characteristics would naturally also originate from the soul.
"Descendants of the Divine Bloodline? Descendants of the same Evil God bloodline? "
Some Evil Gods would create a large number of their own descendants before they died. However, these descendants would be the equivalent of their own spare tires or replicas. These descendants would be the backup physical bodies that the Evil God would use when he revived.
I shook my head and rejected this possibility. Eliza had never been to San Antonio in her entire life, and Lisa was a country bumpkin. Meanwhile, Maria was a member of San Antonio's royalty. They were so far away from each other that it was almost impossible for them to be related by blood.
And for Evil God seeds, bloodline density was the most important factor. In the end, it would only be useful if they were directly related to each other.
I went through all my current knowledge and theories, but I couldn't find any precedents that could explain this situation.
"Silly cat, what do you think?"
"Nothing. I don't recall any precedents like this. Isn't soul research your specialty? Why don't you dissect her? "
Dissect the empress of a country who was also Aillé's adopted daughter? I wasn't that suicidal.
"She said that it's like her soul entering someone else's body and experiencing their life and death … That's indeed quite similar to a Demon Warlock's Chaos Abyss Projection. In that case, could it be that she's a special individual? Perhaps this is also the reason why her magical wavelengths are so similar to Eliza's? "
I fell into deep thought as I looked at the demon warlock before me. Back in the Underground World, Eliza had also been called the beloved daughter of the Chaos Abyss. It was inconceivable how much the Chaos Abyss doted on her.
"Since I mentioned Eliza, how about I contact her …"
I rummaged through my dimensional storage bag and finally took out my old communication ring. I touched it slightly, but there was only static.
Then, a sound rang out, but it was a noisy noise, as if something was currently churning, and there were even sounds of explosions.
"Eliza, where are you? Why is it so noisy? A battlefield? "
"… You still remember to contact me? I … "
"That's the voice! It's her!"
Eliza only got halfway through her sentence when Maria interrupted her. The next instant, the communication ring that hadn't reached its limit returned to normal. It seemed that it had been cut off.
I tried to contact her again, but received no response.
"It's her! She's the one who repeatedly hunted 'us' in our dreams. She calls us … Chaos Girls!"
Maria's expression was filled with fear. Even a powerful warlock like her would have such an expression …
My headache kept increasing. Wasn't this just a rumor from the Chaos Abyss? What exactly was going on here?
If all of this was true, then someone was hunting these "Chaos Girls"? Someone was intentionally leaking the truth? Was Eliza an insider or a person involved?
Why did Eliza cut off my communication? Was there something she didn't want me to know? Why did she cut off our communication the moment she heard Maria's voice?
"Right, Maria."
Perhaps the answer wasn't far away from me. Perhaps I only needed a minor surgery …
"Your Majesty Maria, I have an answer to your question. Could you allow me to examine you and do a small experiment? Relax, it's been a long time since I've dissected a living person. No, what I meant was that I won't dissect you, really. Please look at my honest little eyes. Alright, even if I dissect you, I'll be able to restore you. Please believe in the confidence of a master dissecter. "
