Under everyone's watchful eyes, Angor flew away with the wind.
In just a few seconds, Angor reached his seat.
One more step and he would reach the end — the green circle.
However, he didn't move forward right away. Instead, he moved his lips slightly.
The audience couldn't see what Angor was saying, but Laplace and the others who were not far from Angor saw his lips clearly.
Angor was asking, "How many points will I get if I go straight to the end? More than five points?"
As for who he was asking … Laplace looked around and saw the confused looks on everyone's faces. Clearly, Angor wasn't talking to them. If that was the case, there was only one possibility — Angor was talking to the host.
Could Angor contact the host outside the Sky Curtain Studio?
Laplace wasn't surprised. Angor's ability to fly meant that he had something up his sleeves. As for contacting the host, why couldn't he? Earlier, Angor took Laplace into God's Eye View so that Laplace could see the Purgers, so she knew what it was like to be in that state. They were in a special dream, but they didn't leave the Dream Crystal. Why couldn't Angor use God's View?
Since Angor could use God's View, it made sense that he could contact the host.
With this in mind, Laplace already knew what Angor's trump card was — authority.
Some of the special dreams would restrict external objects, but would they restrict one's authority? Probably not.
Perhaps some powers of the Heavenly Gods would be restricted to a certain extent, but the powers of the Heavenly Gods definitely wouldn't be restricted. Since Angor was able to create the Dream Crystal, he must have a supreme authority. Some of his authorities might be suitable for the dream wasteland, but there must be some that could be used in the Dream Crystal. And such authorities wouldn't be restricted by the special dreams.
Angor's ability to fly with the wind was probably one of those authorities.
Laplace was so sure because when the Dream Crystal was first built, Angor already used a power similar to "wind". She vaguely remembered that it was the authority to manipulate weather.
Weather was most likely a universal authority, so Angor could bring it to the Dream Crystal if he got it from the dream wasteland. It was just that the Dream Crystal wasn't as effective as external objects.
Otherwise, Angor could have used the power of celestial phenomenon to kill the Purgers instead of using her scales to kill them.
All of the above are Laplace's degrees.
If Angor could hear Laplace's thoughts, he would be impressed by her imagination. Most of it was correct. However, there was one thing Laplace was wrong about.
In fact, Laplace was the one who contributed the most to the creation of the Dream Crystal. In other words, he gained an advantage in the battle between the mirror world and the Dream Realm.
In the past, whether it was the Dream Wasteland or the Dream Wasteland, the Cleaners that came were all colossal. Some of the Cleaners were even bigger than the Dream Wasteland.
Therefore, even if Angor had mastered all the powers to control the weather as soon as he created the Dream Crystal, he still wouldn't be able to deal with such a monster.
This time, the Dream wits, Mirror, the Dream wasteland.... As for the reason, the Dream Realm hoped to continue its connection with the Mirror World, while the Mirror World mainly considered the fact that Laplace was in the Dream Crystal.
Laplace's idea was mostly correct, but he didn't consider himself as the key.
Of course, it didn't have much to do with the current situation.
Laplace's guess was completely accurate.
Angor could control the power of the Dream Crystal and use God's View, which allowed him to ride the wind and speak to the MC.
…
Outside the Dream Crystal, the MC stood under a spotlight on a stage covered with colorful ribbons and balloons while explaining to the audience.
People inside the Dream Crystal couldn't hear what he was saying.
What the host said was basically just a joke. Occasionally, he would explain the actions of the black cat challenger, but at this time, it was not the time for the real reveal. So, even if he explained some of the black cat challenger's actions, he did not tell the audience the meaning behind the actions.
The MC thought he could use this method to stall for a long time, and the audience would be more than happy to wait for two or three days.
But Angor was too fast. Half an hour later, he solved all the puzzles.
Now, the MC had to bear the pressure.
He had many other jokes he could use to entertain the audience, but he couldn't keep talking about them. After all, the "Dream Crystal" was about the challenger's track, and he still needed the audience to pay attention to the challenger.
However, the black cat had solved the puzzle and completed his challenge. He only needed to wait for four hours before leaving. Normally, the challenger wouldn't move for the next four hours, and the MC had to give an explanation to the audience. And the explanation had to be reasonable. He couldn't say that the challenger had given up. If he said so, the challenger would come out in four hours, and he would be slapping himself in the face.
But if he said the challenger had already solved the puzzle and was only waiting for the light to come out, wouldn't it show that his "ingenious mind" was useless?
Besides, he couldn't just let the audience wait for the next four hours, could he?
As a performer in a circus, he couldn't just leave the audience in the cold.
But he couldn't give a perfect explanation to the audience.
As for adjusting the time and making the four hours pass faster, he couldn't do that either. There were rules in "Dream Crystal" too.
Just as the host was feeling vexed, he was surprised to see the challenger fly up.
And he flew straight to the green light circle.
As long as the challenger was willing, he could go one step further and reach the finish line!
Seeing this scene, although the host was surprised, the burden in his heart was relieved. If the black cat chose to end the game this way, he didn't need to explain his behavior to the audience.
And he didn't need to wait for four hours like sitting on pins and needles.
With this in mind, the MC quickly spoke to the audience, "I didn't know the black cat could fly! Well, the track really hit the nail on the head this time! But it's a good thing to pass the challenge. It doesn't matter what method you use. It's fun to see a black cat that can fly. "
The MC continued, "But speaking of which, the black cat didn't reach the finish line immediately. What is he doing? Is he going to go back and try another method, or is he going to end the challenge like this?"
As soon as the MC finished speaking, he saw the challenger's lips moving.
He thought the challenger was talking to his friend, so he didn't think too much about it. But the next second, he froze.
Because he heard a tiny voice right next to his ear.
"How many points will I get if I go straight to the finish line? Can I get more than five?"
It was the voice of the black cat, no doubt.
But why was the black cat talking right next to his ear?!
The MC looked around and saw the audience booing. They were booing because Angor took a shortcut, which prevented them from seeing a perfect performance.
It also meant that the audience didn't hear Angor's voice.
Was the black cat talking to himself?
Maybe it was because the MC didn't answer, but the black cat spoke again, "You have two choices. First, answer my question. If I can get more than five points, I'll fly to the finish line. Second, I'll go back down and wait for four hours. Then, I'll enter the shadow path and walk to the finish line. But I don't want to waste time. And I guess you don't want to leave the audience hanging for four hours either, right?
"Can you answer me now? Choose one. Or, if you have a third choice, you can tell me. "
The MC realized that the black cat already knew that the puzzle of the magic track had been solved, as well as what was going on outside.
The MC didn't know how the black cat could send voice transmissions and investigate the outside world, but it didn't matter.
Just like how the white bear used a whip to tame the black tiger in the previous race track. Maybe this was Angor's ability. As long as the challenger didn't break the rules of the track, he could use whatever ability he had.
The black cat also followed the rules. He might have communicated with Angor, but it didn't break the rules.
The MC remained silent for a moment. He blocked the audience and sent a message to the scenery.
"I can't decide the audience's rating. Maybe they can get more than five points, or maybe not."
Angor said, "So I still have to wait for four hours? Or, you want to leave the audience hanging for four hours? "
The MC sighed. "How about this. You choose to reach the finish line now. Even if you don't get five points, I'll give you five points. If the audience gives you more than five points, I'll give you a private gift. "
The MC didn't want to leave the audience hanging either. Besides, the black cat really did solve the puzzle, and it was incredibly fast too.
This actually triggered a hidden condition set by the "gods".
As a consciousness born in "this place", the MC didn't want to offend a promising "challenger".
Therefore, he would give Angor a "reasonable" compensation.
Angor didn't know what the MC was thinking. After receiving the MC's confirmation, he stepped forward without hesitation.
He went straight into the green light circle.
As colorful balloons and fireworks rose into the sky, the last race track was completed.
Then, it was the audience's evaluation of the magic track.
The audience didn't care about the score. They all heard the MC's voice. No matter what, Angor would get five points.
He would get more than 75 points in the end.
That was enough.
Luigi, on the other hand, was curious about Angor's score. Earlier, the MC gave him an envelope, which contained the prelude to a new special dream. If Angor's score was more than five points, would the "private gift" also have something to do with the prelude to the new quest? It would be best if it was "Uriel's Choice". Then he could challenge the special dream together with Angor next time.
As Luigi waited expectantly, the colorful lights in front of him began to light up one by one.
The lights in the first row lit up almost instantly, but Angor's was slow. He lit them up one by one.
It was obvious that the audience didn't know that Angor had solved the puzzle yet.
The audience only rated based on their own senses. Most of them didn't understand Angor's previous actions, so they didn't get a high score.
Half a minute later, the last light came out.
Nine points.
Even the lights in the first row weren't finished yet.
However, the audience didn't really care how high the score was. Angor only needed five points to save the rabbit girl and Laplace. It didn't matter how high the score was. It wasn't like he could get a 100% exploration rate.
With nine points, the "black curtain" came again.
This time, the "black curtain" lasted for a long time.
However, the audience wasn't too worried because they all received a "notice" in their minds.
[The performance is over. The circus is taking a curtain call. The final score will begin after the curtain call. ]
There was no countdown, but everyone knew that the MC was taking a curtain call. When the curtain call ended, they would be able to leave.
While waiting for the curtain call, the audience began to chat.
The rabbit girl was the first to speak. She was blaming herself for taking the headband on the ground.
Luigi comforted her and changed the topic to Angor. He mainly asked about Angor's performance in the magic track. For example, how did he figure out the shadow path? How did he fly? Why did he build the shadow path if he could fly?
Angor gave a few perfunctory answers and changed the topic to Laplace.
He already spent a lot of time in the Dream Crystal Plain. Some of Sweet Dream's "characteristics" were already inside the Dream Crystal Plain. Now, he planned to find a quiet place to study the Dream Crystal Plain.
Before that, he still needed to solve some practical problems, such as how to leave the underground ruin, how to enter the Dream Crystallization again, and how to finish the Dream Crystallization, how to develop it in the future, and what kind of authority Laplace was going to assume.
Laplace said that she needed to discuss with Gleipnir before making a decision. They didn't talk about it in front of Angor, but Angor believed that they must have talked about it in private.
What about the result?
Was Laplace ready to assume the authority?
Angor didn't have time to ask because of the relay race. Now that the race was over, he decided to use this chance to ask.
