The battle in the Lair of Nightmares had reached its second phase, and the commotion it caused had finally attracted the attention of the guards outside the lair.
This was not because the festered were lax in their defense, but because the collapse of the crystal pillar layer had almost completely destroyed the upper layer's warning and detection systems. When the crystal pillar broke, not only did it create a powerful geological impact, but it had also unleashed an energy storm comparable to a small doomsday weapon. The energy spread along the pipes and circuits connecting the crystal pillar layer and the earth's crust, instantly destroying the energy network in Amantir's equator and a third of the southern hemisphere, as well as directly attacking the festered who were responsible for monitoring the starships.
So in the first twenty minutes, the festered did not even know where the sudden explosion came from, and when they finally realized the collapse of the crystal pillar layer, they did not notice the abnormality in the Lair of Nightmares at first notice. Everything was too chaotic.
It was only when the dreamer slowly broke free from the dream and started to fight back that the guards realized the invasion in the lair.
By then, the barrier around the dreamer was only left with the last few wavering layers.
Lily's Doggoblast was powerful, but it had limited combat endurance. After firing the last two beams, she finally used up all her divine power reserves. The giant husky gritted her teeth for a long time before burping. She then sprawled on the ground and started to pant, her tongue hanging out as she used her eyes to signal that she would not be able to fight for the time being.
Hao Ren could not read the husky's eyes, but he guessed that Lily's power reserves had reached its limit, and so he used his autonomous turret to fill in the gap left by the Doggoblast. He looked at the crazily wriggling, seemingly about to fully awaken, and yelled, "Keep it up! This thing can't last much longer! Its body is too fragile! "
At this moment, on the outskirts of the battlefield, a blurry, grayish-black shadow shuttled between the stone pillars and the crystal clusters like a gust of wind. The shadow circled around the edge of the lair and then rushed straight in Hao Ren's direction. Along the way, a few mutant monsters were swept by the shadow and cut into pieces on the spot.
The shadow stopped in front of Hao Ren, and only then did Rollie reveal herself. The cat girl's paws and face were covered in blood, but her eyes were abnormally bright. She circled around Hao Ren and said anxiously, "Big Boss Cat! Big Boss Cat! There are so many cracks over there! Monsters are coming in! "
"The guards outside have started to move." Hao Ren looked at Vivian. "They are forcing open the outer wall of the Lair of Nightmares."
"This brain won't last until they come," Vivian said as she floated in the air. A pair of huge bat wings spread out behind her like a cloak, and a swarm of bats danced under the wings. The vortex-like lightning that was brewing in the swarm of bats made her look like a queen walking on lightning. "I can feel it … it's afraid. This monster that creates nightmares actually has the emotion of fear."
Hao Ren smiled as he looked at the Godslayer that was still chattering in his hand. "That's normal. Anyone else would be afraid after being nagged by this nonsense for so long."
Vivian almost fell from the sky. "… That's not what I meant."
"It's time to end the battle." A thunderous voice came from above. Y 'zaks, who had transformed into a magma giant, was emitting a shocking amount of heat. Dark green dark runes floated around him as he looked down at the black longsword in Hao Ren's hand. His tone was solemn. "Let's end this before we all go crazy."
"This sword thinks that your attitude is biased. This sword is actually trying to teach you some principles of life, even though this sword is just …"
Usually, this thing would not open its mouth more than three sentences before being yelled at by Hao Ren to shut up. But now, in order to fight against the evil god's whispers, it had the rare opportunity to ramble on. It seemed that it had completely let go of itself.
But Hao Ren did not have the time to waste talking to a sword, because the battle against the gigantic brain had finally reached its final moment.
While the gigantic brain's main body did not personally participate in the battle, the nightmare monsters and the aberrations in its lair were like a part of it, so this battle was still a battle between the humans and the brain giant.
The multi-layered barrier that was used to protect the brain of dreams was now down to the last two layers. The biological tissues that created the barrier were heavily damaged by the continuous bombardment and energy overload. Dirty pus and blood flowed down the surface of the platform below the brain giant, and the entire area was convulsing uncontrollably. Thump thump, thump thump. The sound that sounded like a heartbeat echoed all around, and it was getting deeper and slower. All signs pointed to one thing: the terrifying creature was approaching the end of its life.
But it still needed one last hit.
Hao Ren gripped the two Cosmic Shards in his hands as he calculated the rate of depletion of the brain giant's barrier as he strode towards the platform.
The brain giant seemed to have sensed the impending doom. The red light on its surface surged even more wildly as the entire brain spasmed violently. Visible distortions started to spread out from its ugly skin, and countless horrifying translucent shadows danced in the distorted air, as if trying to scare the approaching Hao Ren, but also as if they were begging for mercy.
Hao Ren continued forward as the scene before him started to distort. The voices in his ears started to come closer and closer. He could hear countless cries echoing in his head, and even the Godslayer's incessant rambling had temporarily retreated to the side. But …
"Still a far cry from Lockmarton."
He muttered to himself in a low voice, and all the hallucinations disappeared.
He leapt up high and slashed at the brain giant in the air. Even though he was as small as a bug in front of the brain giant, the brain giant shuddered as if it was facing a monster.
The brain of dreams had been jolted awake from its deep dream. Like all creatures that had just woken up, it still had a trace of confusion and sluggishness from the Nightmare Realm. This made its perception of what was happening in the real world extremely blurry, but no matter how blurry it was, it could still sense a power that could strike fear into the heart of a demigod, or even a true god, from the two black longswords that were slashing down.
That power was designed to deal with beings as powerful as gods, and was used to destroy all supernatural beings related to the Mad Lord.
The brain giant shook the energy in the dimension and let out a piercing howl. Everything in front of Hao Ren instantly fell apart.
The entire Lair of Nightmares had disappeared, and in that brief moment, he found himself standing on an endless plain. The grass was long and the birds were in flight, the sky was high and the clouds were far away. The warm sun shone brightly in the clear blue sky, a herd of sheep and cows were wandering leisurely on the plain, and the cries of the shepherds were coming from afar.
Raven 12345 suddenly appeared before him, and said sternly and sternly, "There's a change in the situation. Stop immediately and come back …"
Without hesitation, Hao Ren slashed down with his sword.
The world where the grass was long and the birds were flying shattered in an instant, and before his eyes was the nauseating, wrinkled skin of the brain giant. The Godslayer had already cut through the last layer of the brain's shield, and the black blade cut deep into the squirming flesh. Black smoke and translucent shadows were spewing out from the flesh, and a shrill scream rang in Hao Ren's head.
"This is impossible! That is a will that you will never be able to defy! "
"You being able to create such an illusion without knowing 'her' true identity does surprise me, but I have to tell you two things." Hao Ren also replied with his spiritual power in his mind. "First, if it really was my superior, her expression would not be like that, and her tone would not be like that. She would only be yelling at me about her year-end bonus and performance bonus, and then she would just open the door and drag me back!"
The longsword cut deeper, but there was still no blood flowing out of the brain giant, because its real structure had started to evaporate, and all the flesh was quickly turning into smoke.
"Second, 'a will that you will never be able to defy' is a f * cking setting. If you don't even know her style, then don't try to fill in the blanks of our corporate culture. Everyone in this unit enjoys slandering the goddess behind her back, and yelling at her face to her face, do you understand? You might as well turn her into my primary school class teacher! "
"No! It shouldn't be like this! There can't be such a … "
Hao Ren poured almost all of his power into the two cosmic shards, and the surface of the black blade rippled with a layer of light, and the forty-meter long blade sliced the brain giant into four pieces. "That's how it works!!"
The brain that created the dream disintegrated, and the illusions that were everywhere in the Lair of Nightmares quickly dissipated, and the monster's last will reverberated in everyone's mind. "You have no idea how powerful the power of chaos is … You have no idea where the power of nightmares comes from … You have shattered the door, and now this dream is about to end, she will wake up … and it will wake up …"
The core of the Lair of Nightmares had disappeared, and the space that was supported by supernatural powers could no longer maintain its stability. A violent tremor signaled that the entire area was falling towards the crystal pillar layer, and in the midst of the trembling, Hao Ren's gaze was looking upwards.
After the brain giant was destroyed, the blood and nerves that connected the brain giant to the dome above began to break, and corrosive energy leaked out from the nerve cords, speeding up the collapse of the entire space, and the moment the nerve cords broke, Hao Ren saw the dome of the Lair of Nightmares split open into a horrifying gash, and countless pieces of debris of all sizes fell from above.
Among them was a giant crystal filled with powerful energy.
Several autonomous robots rushed towards the crystal, and in an instant, a barrier enveloped the entire crystal, and they all disappeared into thin air.
"The goods are in hand, retreat."
