Greya's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Toby would never be able to turn back once the seal was broken.
She had to keep moving forward. There was no turning back!
"It'll work." Greya closed her eyes to hide her uneasy expression and slowly took out the Golden Oak Water.
She inserted a special perfume stick into the bottle and released a colorless scent that was invisible to the naked eye. Greya summoned a gust of wind and directed it toward the black fog.
Perhaps it was an illusion, or perhaps it really was effective. When the aura of the Golden Oak Water surged into the black fog, the rolling "monster" in it calmed down a little, but it was only for a moment. Soon, the black fog started rolling again.
Greya stared into the distance. At first, she kept muttering to herself, "It'll work." But as time went by, the monster inside the black fog became even more restless, and its negative aura kept increasing. Greya began to doubt her words.
"Will it really work?" Greya muttered to herself.
"Of course." Angor considered. "I believe in Toby."
In Greya's mind, the monster in the black mist was actually a Grudge Spirit. The more it writhed, the stronger its aura would become, and the more dangerous Toby would be.
However, the truth was completely different from Greya's imagination. The monster inside the black fog was not simply the Grudge of Extremity. It was both Toby and the Grudge of Extremity that Toby was about to face.
The current situation was actually because Extreme Resentment had activated Toby's bloodline and turned into the Serpent Bird of Jealousy. Toby was now fighting with Extreme Resentment for control of the Serpent Bird of Jealousy in his own mind space.
If Toby succeeded, the Serpent Bird of Jealousy would succeed.
Right now, the Serpent Bird's frenzied tumbling caused the black mist to surge as well. In fact, it was Toby who was constantly challenging the Will of Extreme Resentment. It did not mean that the Grudge of Extremity had the upper hand. In fact, the bigger the commotion, the greater the threat Toby posed.
Inside the Serpent Bird of Jealousy's mind space —
This was a similarly silent void, but unlike the void outside, it wasn't dark. In the distance, a faint light could be seen, and within this light, a black shadow could be seen.
It seemed to be the outline of a giant beast.
Toby's goal was to move his consciousness towards the light and take over the body of the giant beast!
In his countless experiences in the House of Heart, Toby was very clear that the silhouette in the light was both the true body of the Snake Bird and the core of the Thought of Utmost Resentment. Only by defeating the Will of Extreme Resentment and taking over the real body would everything be over.
However, Toby also knew that this was a very difficult process.
The Will of Extreme Resentment would use all kinds of methods to expel it, obstruct it, and finally destroy it completely. And the process of overcoming these hardships was the so-called … tribulation!
Toby had gone through countless tribulations in the House of Heart. He knew that the most difficult part was not the last step, but the journey to the end.
Therefore, Toby carefully avoided all kinds of traps as he approached his target.
Not far away, a ball of green mist appeared with an alluring fragrance. Toby didn't even look and went around it. He had experienced it in the House of Heart and knew all too well that although the green mist looked alluring, it was actually ecstasy.
On the way forward, Toby not only encountered the green mist, but also all kinds of strange traps, such as the blood sphere area, the place of false light, the space of mist, and so on …
These traps sounded like real things. But in reality, they were not real, but the projection of some important places in the bloodline body in the mind.
Even if it was just a projection, if the operation was wrong, the slightest mistake could affect the core and allow the Will of Extreme Resentment to attack the brain and take over the consciousness.
Therefore, the Will of Extreme Resentment turned these into traps to block Toby's path.
For example, Toby had gone around several traps and now came to a place full of "lines".
These crisscrossing "lines" were still traps. If Toby was careless, it could affect the whole body and make all his previous efforts go to waste.
Toby could actually take a detour, it had done the same when it encountered the traps.
But this time, Toby did not take a detour, but flew directly into the "area of lines".
Although Toby did not know which part of the bloodline the area of lines was the projection of, his experience in the House of Heart told him that this area of lines was very vast. Even when he reached the final "target", he could still see these lines occasionally.
Therefore, to the area of lines, it was a trap, but if Toby chose to take a detour, it would be a bigger trap.
Because there was a time limit to the calamity, taking a detour would not help him avoid the traps, but would push him into the abyss of failure.
Only by charging forward courageously and avoiding these densely packed lines was the true path.
If it was Toby's first time here, even if he chose to enter the area of lines, he could be at a disadvantage due to his lack of experience. But after all, he had experienced hundreds of times in the House of Heart, he had his own way of avoiding the crisscrossing lines.
From beginning to end, Toby did not slow down at all. His body moved up and down, left and right, and occasionally glided diagonally to avoid all the lines. Then, he kept moving toward the light.
There were other traps in the area of lines as well. Some of them were not obvious at all, but Toby easily avoided them like a prophet.
Seeing this, Grudge, who was temporarily in control of the serpentine bird's body, became even angrier. This also caused the monsters in the black fog outside to move even faster and let out thunderous roars.
Greya might be worried about this, but it was nothing to Toby who was in the middle of his "Calamity Counter".
Toby moved back and forth in the void filled with lines and traps as if he was just taking a stroll.
Emotion Torrent!
A terrifying torrent of negative emotions gushed out from the serpentine bird's giant mouth. It covered the entire void and rushed toward Toby.
"It's finally here," Toby said to himself as he looked at the oncoming flood.
There was no way to avoid it, and there was nowhere to hide. He had to face it head-on.
However, once he entered the torrent, he would probably be trapped in the negative emotions and could not escape. Toby's first death in the House of Heart was caused by this torrent. After that, Toby was killed by it many times.
But now, Toby was not afraid at all. In fact, he felt a little excited.
After going through the torrent of negative emotions so many times, Toby already had experience in dealing with them. Moreover, Toby knew very well that this flood was actually considered easy compared to the calamity that would come later.
If he could not stop this torrent, how could he survive the coming calamities?
Not only did Toby not retreat, but he flapped his wings and charged forward without hesitation.
