This was a new "dream wasteland", after all. His control over his power was not as precise as before.
As a result, even if he placed himself and Laplace near the "scale in a bottle" location, they would still be a bit off from each other.
However, there weren't many deviations. They were all within two hundred meters.
Soon, Angor and Laplace found the shedding bottle.
As Laplace approached, the shedding bottle slowly floated up from the crystal as if it sensed the presence of its "master".
Through the transparent glass, Angor could clearly see the shedding of a whale-shaped shedding scale.
Angor was taken aback by the strange phenomenon. The first thing he did after arriving here was to find the shedding bottle. After making sure the shedding bottle was safe, he went to find Laplace.
Back then, the shedding bottle did not react at all. It was as if the shedding bottle was a dead object.
But now, Laplace's shedding bottle showed such a strange phenomenon.
As expected of Laplace's shedding item. Even though Laplace's consciousness came here, the shedding bottle still recognized the shedding bottle immediately.
"Can you activate it?" Angor asked as he looked at the floating shedding bottle.
Laplace glanced at Angor and nodded. "Yes."
With that, Laplace reached out his hand and chanted some indecipherable syllables. As soon as the syllables were uttered, the glass bottle nearby exploded into countless pieces.
The shedding bottle began to release a dazzling silver light.
Then, under Angor's shocked gaze, the shedding bottle scattered into tens of thousands of silver sparks, which then formed a silver ribbon that wrapped around Laplace's body.
This scene looked familiar to Angor.
He saw some cartoons from Earth in his hologram tablet. One of them was from a female perspective. The main theme of the cartoon was about past and present lives, cute pets, female characters, rebellions, schoolyards, and superpowers against criminals. In each episode, there was an essential "transformation" segment. Only after transforming could the main character gain superhuman strength.
In the anime, at the moment of transformation, the main character's body was completely revealed. Unfortunately, any further details were blocked by the Holy Light. When the ribbon of light wrapped around the main character's body, the main character changed into a new set of clothes. Then, the main character posed in a cute pose, and the transformation was complete.
At this moment, countless silver ribbons of light wrapped around Laplace and lifted him into the air. Under the illumination of the holy light, nothing could be seen …
This scene was too similar to the transformation in the anime.
Angor thought this was enough. But there was more to come.
In order to highlight the "transformation" in anime, the main character's clothes would be changed first, and a part of the changed clothes would be shown in one shot. Only when the main character made a cute pose at the end would the full set of transformed clothes be shown.
He didn't know whether Laplace was transforming or not. However, after the ribbon of light surrounded Laplace for a few seconds, it started to disappear bit by bit.
The order of disappearing was from the bottom to the top, which was starting from the feet.
She used Laplace's hair as a cushion for his feet. Now, the first thing Angor saw was a pair of hooves.
Hooves belonging to the order Oddityidae.
The hooves were split in front and back, which looked like special high heels. The only difference was that the hooves were very sharp and shaped like the feet of a demon.
After the "hooves" were shown, the ribbon of light continued to rise. The transformation was still ongoing.
The legs above the hooves were covered by a skirt. Occasionally, Angor could see the smooth legs without any cloth.
But now, the legs above the hooves were not only muscular but also covered in silver scales. The whole body was streamlined, which was both elegant and threatening.
The ribbon of light quickly went past the scale-covered waist. Just a little bit more and it would be the upper body.
The Holy Light receded, and Angor could finally see the upper body.
Laplace's upper body also changed a lot. He didn't transform completely, but he was covered in silver scales and had a pair of giant wings made of silver scales on his back.
Before this, Laplace might have to worry about slipping on the ground. But now, he didn't have to worry about that. With the six-meter-wide wings, Laplace could fly in the air without being restrained by the ground.
As for Laplace's head, there was only a small change. There was a circle of silver scales around his hairline. Everything else was the same as before.
The color of his hair, the length of his hair, his face, and the way he looked at people with remained the same.
At this point, the ribbons of light finally disappeared, and Laplace's "transformation" was complete.
Laplace's transformation was different from the one in the anime where he only changed his clothes. Laplace's transformation not only involved changing his clothes, but also his body shape.
Before this, the girl was less than two meters tall. Now, she was twice as tall as Angor.
Its cold temperament, huge body, wide wings, and silver radiance gave off an indescribable sense of deterrence.
Before this, Angor didn't feel anything when he saw Laplace. They were all just mortals in this new place.
But now, when he looked at Laplace again, he felt as small as a speck of dust.
It wasn't just because of the difference in body size. It was also because of the warning radar in his mind.
Although Angor didn't know how strong Laplace was after her transformation, he could tell that she was definitely stronger than a wizard-level fighter.
This was why Angor, a "mortal", felt so inferior.
There was a huge gap between them.
Even in the wizard-level dream wasteland, only a handful of people had the strength of a wizard. He didn't expect Laplace to reach the level of a wizard by shedding his scales, or even higher, in a new world that was just born.
He could use the Dream Whelk to bring in some powerful weapons or scrolls, but he couldn't use them in his current condition in this new world. Even truth-finder weapons wouldn't do him any good.
But Laplace was different. It was as if she had found her old body. Not only could she control her shedding scales, but she could also use all the power granted by the shedding process.
Angor felt jealous, but he couldn't do anything about it.
It was a racial talent that couldn't be fixed.
…
"How do you feel now?"
Laplace, who had activated his molting ability, said casually, "Interesting. I feel like I've returned to the state when I was just born.
Laplace paused for a moment. "When will the danger you mentioned come?"
"I don't know. I don't know yet." Angor looked at Laplace. "Is there a limit to how much you can use your shedding ability?"
He sensed a hint of urgency in Laplace's question.
"There are no restrictions," Laplace said calmly.
Angor's first instinct was to ask, "Why do you sound so anxious?" But before he could ask, Laplace spoke first. "I just want to solve the danger as soon as possible, and then I'll wait for an explanation."
"Be it the molting, my current state, or this so-called world between the cracks, I need you to give me an explanation for all of it."
Laplace had lived for so many years, but this was the first time that he had so much curiosity and so many doubts. If Angor didn't tell him that the most important thing right now was to solve the danger, Laplace would have threatened Angor with violence.
"I'll explain. But how much I can tell you depends on whether the danger can be solved," Angor said in a low voice.
"What do you mean?" Laplace gave him a cold look.
As Laplace's gaze grew colder, Angor felt his skin tightening and prickling.
He wouldn't feel this way if he was in the real world. Laplace was much stronger than Angor in this place.
It was like a superior talking to an ordinary person. Even the slightest change in tone was enough to frighten an ordinary person.
"I can't give you an explanation right now. Once the danger is solved, everything will be answered. If we can't solve the problem, then everything I say will be meaningless."
As long as the danger could be solved, or at least the danger wouldn't appear, Angor's "gamble" would be considered a success.
Through the conflict between the Dream Realm and the Mirror World, he used Laplace, the favorite child of the Dream Realm, as a mediator to gain some benefits and create a new Dream Wasteland.
This was a huge gamble that came out of nowhere.
If the plan worked, Laplace, as a participant, protector, and witness of the dream wasteland, would have to give her an explanation.
If it didn't work, it wouldn't matter whether he told Laplace the truth or not.
Laplace gave Angor a thoughtful look. "Glepnir once said that you have more secrets than the Wise Ones. I didn't pay much attention to it, but now I think Glepnir was right."
"By the way, I have a question as well." "Oh, I have a question as well."
"Now, Madam Laplace, before me, can you still say that Gleipnir, Luigi, is you?"
Laplace said, "You're asking this question because you don't understand the current situation. They're me at all times. Even if I can't sense them now, they're still me. "
Angor frowned. "Even if they have independent consciousnesses now, they're still you?"
"Of course." Laplace nodded.
Seeing Laplace nodding, Angor began to wonder if Laplace was telling the truth or not.
Earlier, Angor thought that Laplace was telling the truth. But now, it seemed that he misunderstood.
What was the difference between Laplace, Younu, and the doppelganger of the Black Earl?
They all had the same body, but they had different expressions?
While thinking, he suddenly looked up with a frown.
Laplace also noticed Angor's change of expression and looked at him.
Angor stared at the sky for a while. "… It's here."
Laplace asked, "What's coming?"
"The Cleaners."
…
Although he had been talking to Laplace, he had been observing the space outside the new world with his God's Eye View ever since he entered it.
The first thing he sensed was the tunnel leading to the Nightmare Realm. However, just like the dream wasteland, the tunnel only gave off a faint aura of the Nightmare Realm. There was no sign of any nightmare creatures coming in or out of it.
Apart from the nightmare tunnel, the only thing he could see was an endless void.
This void was actually the void between the Dream World and the Mirror World.
Normally speaking, no living creatures would show up here. However, if a new, uncontrollable world was born here, and this new world also had some of the laws of the Dream Realm, the Nightmare Realm would open its gate.
Then, the Dream Realm would automatically open up a passage, allowing some powerful Dream Realm creatures to pass by unintentionally.
And these dream creatures were the "Cleaners" Angor talked about.
Angor had been observing the void ever since he arrived at the new world, looking for any signs of the Cleaners.
When the dream wasteland was being built in the Abyss Plane, the Cleaners came very quickly. But this time, Angor waited for a long time without seeing any Cleaners.
Just when he thought the Dream Realm was willing to compromise and maintain its connection with the Mirror World, the Cleaners showed up.
Angor's heart sank when he sensed the surging energy coming from the void.
He asked Laplace to carry a "weapon", but he wasn't sure if it would be enough to deal with the Cleaners.
"I'll give it a try anyway," he mumbled as if he had made up his mind.
He raised his head and looked at Laplace. "The Purgers are about to appear. To prevent them from destroying this new world, the only thing we can do now is to stop them."
Laplace didn't bother to ask about Angor's strange words. Instead, he went straight to the point. "How?"
Angor didn't answer. Instead, he looked up at the sky.
Laplace also looked in the same direction.
A crack suddenly appeared in the gray sky, and at the same time, a large number of strange creatures came out of the crack.
There were so many of them that they looked like a swarm of locusts that blotted out the sky.
Seeing this scene, Laplace also felt that this was a thorny problem.
She already knew what to do without Angor's advice. She had to kill every last one of the invading monsters.
However, there were so many monsters. Could they kill them all?
Laplace looked back at Angor and wondered how many monsters they had to kill. However, Laplace was stunned by what he saw.
She thought Angor would at least put on a serious look when dealing with these monsters, but she didn't expect him to be as worried as she was.
But Angor's expression didn't look serious at all.
Was this … a surprise?
