Chapter 1347: Steel Star
Chapter 1347: Steel Star
The Twelve Nightmare Sovereigns, who arrived late, looked at Casina the Battle God overpowering the faceless god and breathed a sigh of relief when they confirmed that the ominous disaster had disappeared without a trace.
The ball created by Red Heart Queen Ada was a special setting empowered by the will of Nightmare World. Even they couldn't interfere casually but had to follow Nightmare World's rules as judges and score from outside the void.
Throughout history, the only participant who could break into the Ada ballroom and enter the dark void was the rule-breaking God Slaying Sky Sword.
Now, is there one more, or maybe two?
The power they just displayed, especially the Shura Breaking Fist enveloped in endless disaster, made Nightmare Sovereign feel immense pressure.
It's not that the Twelve Nightmare Sovereigns' power is truly weak; it's simply a matter of compatibility.
God Slaying Sky Sword, Casina the Battle God, and the Six-armed Demon form of Asura all, to some extent, greatly restrain the rulers of Nightmare World.
The Nightmare Sovereigns, beings born from the negative forces of intelligent creatures in the shadows of the mind, are very wary of the legend rank like Casina the Battle God, who does not rely on external factors but can unleash explosive attacks purely through their own strength.
(Translated by Gravity Tales 😡)
By relying on oneself instead of external objects, Nightmare Sovereigns lost about half of their skills.
Having a strong will that cannot be influenced by any nightmare scenes, and can even interfere with reality, is the best weapon against the Nightmare World.
For Nightmare Sovereigns, creatures like the Sky Sword are very troublesome opponents. It is not just one Nightmare Sovereign who has been slain by the Sky Sword, paving the way for the God Slaying Sky Sword.
Although very few are completely killed off, when a Nightmare Sovereign is killed once, they enter a weakened state and often need hundreds or even thousands of years to recover.
Many of the judges who were killed by the God Slaying Sky Sword are still lying in their respective nightmare territories.
Ada, who has been massacred hundreds of times by the God Slaying Sky Sword in a fit of rage, due to having the constitution of both a Nightmare Sovereign and an ancient abyss god, soon resumed hosting the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade.
From this perspective, Ada can be said to be a very special Nightmare Sovereign, especially since it is favored by "that one".
The Nightmare Sovereigns chosen for the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade this time naturally had to show enough respect to "that one", and the dance party hosted by Ada was indeed very interesting, which is why they rarely gathered together to be judges.
Do not think that Nightmare Sovereigns like to stick together. The Nightmare World is so vast and incredible that nobody knows the true size of this world of illusions. Compared to the Endless God's Domain, of which less than five percent has been explored, even Nightmare Sovereigns cannot accurately describe the size of the Nightmare World.
The nightmares of intelligent beings are twisted and chaotic, a nightmare that can contain millions of nightmare beings may only appear as an ant nest in a big tree in the real world, humans occasionally caught in this nightmare cannot understand the concept of this time and space.
The Nightmare World, connected by countless nightmares of intelligent beings, shows a structure where space and time are extremely chaotic.
Some Nightmare Worlds reflect natural disasters and human disasters that humans fear, some retain the dreams of ancient gods, and some project segments that belong only to the future.
In the Nightmare World, the timeline of past, present, and future is not fixed but appears in a chaotic hive-like structure.
What marks the boundaries of the Nightmare World are dead celestial bodies swallowed by the Nightmare World, strange celestial bodies that have long been dead and in a collapsed state.
Yes, even in nightmares, stars still exist. These long-dead stars are occasionally captured by the Nightmare World, consumed, and transformed into the only recognizable coordinates of the Nightmare World.
However, unlike the stars shining brightly in the real world, the stars here do not have any living beings; they are all nests of nightmare creatures.
With gravity thousands of times stronger and no air or sunlight in the dark void, these stars that have long died remain in eternal silence, symbolizing the end of intelligent beings.
Occasionally, new nightmare creatures are born on these dead celestial bodies.
That is immersed in the ancient history of their own stars, symbolizing the last memories of the stars, the traces left by the wise beings who once lived on these stars.
Nightmare World is like a huge graveyard, accepting the final remnants of the stars that once shone in the sky.
Not all stars are eligible to be chosen by Nightmare World and pulled in.
Only the stars that have given birth to brilliant civilizations, but have fallen into collapse over a long period of time, will be captured by Nightmare World and eventually become coordinates of Nightmare World.
Many Nightmare Sovereigns are born on these dead stars, unable to recall their past or where they came from.
Lost, they often wander on the original land of the stars for millions of years before leaving the dead stars and entering the endless world of nightmares.
Nightmare Sovereigns have turned these long-dead stars, collapsed celestial bodies, and lands into "Steel Stars" resembling steel structures.
Due to their collapsed state, the mass of the stars is terrifying, and there is almost nothing in Nightmare World that can destroy such coordinates.
There is also no need for destruction, so these dead celestial bodies rarely appear in such a large broken state now.
However, Nightmare World has its own rules.
Soon, the collapsed body of Steel Star began to collapse inward once again, contracting the damaged parts and increasing its gravity.
No matter what shape a celestial body originally had, once captured by Nightmare World, it will eventually become a standard sphere. Even if it is destroyed again, the debris will continue this evolutionary process.
The coordinate map of Nightmare World is formed by one collapsed star after another acting as nodes.
Compared to the constantly changing nature of Nightmare World itself, these collapsed stars can be said to be the only points that do not change, and they are the markers used by the Nightmare Sovereigns to divide their territories.
And the owner of these stars is the Red Heart Queen Ada.
"It seems like it's not the worst situation yet."
"Hmm, the ball is still going on, just slightly beyond expectations."
"Casina the Battle God, truly the one closest to the concept of the God Slaying Sky Sword. It should be said that she already has the ability to make that breakthrough."
"If even the Steel Star can be broken, who is this prince?"
"This is a really... exciting performance..."
