Chapter 196: Encountering the Dream God of Death Again
As they approached the edge of the Sea of All Beings, Alka would often fall into dreams at night.
The main purpose is to observe whether there are any dream bubbles of terrestrial creatures around, and to see if we can find an island similar to the Shipwreck Island.
Shipwreck Island is the name they gave to the ship cemetery island at the entrance of their home town.
Simple, direct and very fitting.
They wondered if they could encounter such an island here as well.
However, after sailing for several days, I didn’t see it in my dreams, so it probably disappeared.
Alka sat in the observation room on top of the main mast, propped up his arms, and played with the cards in his hand out of boredom.
Sitting next to him was a puppet girl with pure black hair. She was fully armed and dressed in pure black clothes. She even had a mask on her face, revealing only a pair of black pupils.
On her back was a short bow, which was very short and probably only suitable for her.
It looks more like a toy, but it was specially made by Alcatel. Although the arrows shot out are as thin as needles, they have extremely strong penetrating power.
It's okay to aim at other parts of the human body, the damage will be less.
But once it hits some important parts, such as the eyes, it can be fatal.
Even if a fine needle is shot into the brain, it can cause death.
Alka had originally wanted to equip her with a rock-shaking gun, but found that it would be meaningless if the rock-shaking gun was reduced to such a small size.
The power of the bullets produced is not as strong as the penetrating arrows made of Alcatel materials.
There were also long, thin needle blades on his waist and thighs.
This is Doll Girl No. 1, a professional sentinel.
Since it is a puppet, it does not have any rest and has been assisting everyone in keeping watch in the observation room.
The observation room at this time was no longer as empty as before.
There are all kinds of items in it.
Most of them were personal belongings, which helped them pass the time while on guard in the lookout room.
For example, Porro's fitness items, Julia's music scores, Xia Deti's drawing board and paintbrushes, some books and so on.
There were footsteps behind me.
Alka turned around and saw Julia who had come up to take over the shift. She was holding an unknown musical instrument in her hand.
"Go and have some rest."
Alka nodded, and after coming out, he jumped directly from above, swung along the cable directly to the second floor of the stern deck, and entered his room.
He fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Sink into your own dream while sleeping.
In his dream bubble, Alka opened his eyes, but he did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he flew out of the bubble.
After a quick inspection of the surroundings, he made sure that there were no dream creatures circling around everyone's bubbles.
But it is not a good idea to patrol like this all the time. Sometimes Alka has things to do outside, so he goes to bed later, or even goes back to sleep during the day.
It’s okay on the route ahead, but once we reach the boundless ocean, it may not be as desolate as here.
Correspondingly, there will be more monsters in the dream world.
By then, he might not have so much time or opportunities to clean up these monsters that were spying on their dreams at any time.
Before heading to the Endless Ocean, we have to come up with a solution.
As he was thinking, Alka's eyes lit up because he discovered another dream creature.
There was a black sickle floating next to a black and white round ball of light and shadow.
This is exactly what the Dream Death looks like when he is resting.
This is another dream death god.
Alka has never simulated the Dream Death God for use in battle. Not only has he not encountered a suitable battle yet, but also his observation of the Dream Death God is still very one-sided.
Now that I have encountered another one, I must observe it .
Alka quietly shrank behind a ball of light gray mist and gently wrapped herself in the pink mist.
He observed blatantly like this, but suddenly he thought of something, and a piece of mirror fragment appeared in his hand, wrapped in mist and flew over.
It gently stuck to the side of the ball and disappeared.
This is a small object made by Arca combining a characteristic of a mirror with the powerful effect of clouds in dreams.
In addition to locating this dream god of death, it also allows Alka to observe his situation at any time.
This was something Alka had researched for a long time specifically for his own simulation.
In this way, you can observe those rare dream monsters in your dreams, and observe them more carefully anytime and anywhere.
This thing was born out of Alka's previous desire to locate the position of the dream god of death. Since they were always moving forward in the outside world and left the range of the god of death, it was impossible to go over and observe even if they located it.
After locating it this time, you can also use the fragments of the mirror to observe. Because it is wrapped in pink mist and invisible, it is almost unnoticeable.
After coming to the dream world of the outside world recently, Alka discovered that the pink mist has a very high priority in dreams, or it is a very powerful energy for dreams.
The performance in dreams is similar to universal energy, and Alka can use it to achieve many of his ideas.
In this way, Alka will be able to observe the habits of the Dream God of Death anytime and anywhere, and it would be best if he could completely simulate the abilities of the Dream God of Death.
After all, the creatures in dreams don’t have any so-called physiological structure. When they die, they simply turn into countless light and shadows and dissipate, making it impossible to dissect them.
The best way is to observe.
After marking, Alka disappeared and entered Lucilia's dream world.
At this moment, Lucelia was awake in her dream. Every time Lucelia appeared in the dream recently, Alka had to go in and wake her up.
This was her own request.
At this time, Lucilia's dream had already changed beyond all recognition, turning into various obstacles and mechanisms.
After Alka entered the bubble of dreams, he came to the safe platform above the dream. He didn't want to go down and get hit for no reason.
Although most of these obstacles were designed by him.
If you arrange the obstacle mechanisms of the entire dream world on a large scale, you will find that it seems like some kind of arcade-like level-breaking game.
Alka designed these mechanisms based on those level-breaking games, and they are even more anti-human.
Because anti-humanity is the purpose of these agencies.
What is wanted is to make Lucelia accustomed to the body of the puppet, rather than letting the concept remain in the flesh and blood.
When dodging, it would be great to also experience the strange effects that the puppet’s body can achieve.
These are all Lucelia's efforts to create a fighting style suitable for puppets.
There was an explosion below, and a dark figure was blown up and landed on a safe platform.
Lucelia's body was charred black. She waved away the ashes in front of her, coughed, and a cloud of black mist came out of her mouth.
Then he tapped his body and felt refreshed.
After all, this is a dream, her own dream.
"Arka? How did you get in here?"
"I met the Grim Reaper from my dream again outside. Do you want to observe him together this time? Aren't you going to record it?"
Hearing this, Lucilia stood up directly, her eyes shining: "No problem, let's go."
Lucilia was very interested in the dream god of death that Alka had recorded before, and specifically told him to take her with him the next time he met the dream god of death if he had the chance.
So Alka came.
After saying that, he took Alka and flew into the sky. During the flight, Alka wrapped the two of them with clouds and mist, breaking through the bubble layer of the dream.
After arriving in the outside world, Alka brought Lucilia to the place where they were just now and hid behind the clouds.
Lucelia looked at the sphere, and a notebook and a drawing brush appeared in her hands.
The reason these things could appear outside her dream bubble was because Alka simulated them for her using pink mist.
This is also what the pink mist can do in dreams, but this function comes from Arca's advancement to the second stage.
Writing and drawing with this thing cannot bring out the dream, but it can deepen Lucelia's memory in the dream so that she can write it clearly in the outside world.
Looking at the black and white sphere in the distance and the sickles surrounding it, I began to draw its appearance.
While painting, he asked, "Is this the sphere you said he formed when he was resting?"
Alka nodded.
The two of them observed secretly like peeping Toms.
"What are those pink mists coming out from the sides? They look different from yours."
After a while, Lucelia saw very light pink mist particles flying out from both sides of the sphere. If you didn't look carefully, they would be blurred by the surrounding light and shadow.
Alkawi squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully: "That should be the food he eats. This pink mist is usually the energy of dreams. I saw them eating like this last time."
"So the current situation is that he is already digesting his food or dream energy, and the exposed powder is the energy consumed during digestion?"
"...Isn't it possible to achieve perfect utilization?"
Lucelia muttered to herself and began to write in the notebook.
Not long after, Alka felt the dream in the distance moving: "Pay attention, something is coming."
Hearing this, Lucilia, who was observing, looked carefully.
It was a dream creature that looked like a python, about two meters long.
Its appearance is more like a snake-like shadow, and it is completely black without any eyes or anything like that visible on its body.
It swims slowly in the dream world.
"It seems to be deliberately moving towards the black module that matches the color of its body. It seems to be able to conceal its shape?"
A dream creature that had never been seen before, Lucilia turned a page and began to record.
"Is it trying to prey on the Dream Death?" Alka asked, observing more carefully.
The main thing is this python-like black shadow, which is now behaving like a predator.
Just like that, the shadowy python creature had reached the side of the Grim Reaper, about three meters away.
At this time, the black shadow of the python has slowly stretched out its body at a turtle's pace, trying its best not to disturb the sleep of the Dream Death.
It was not until it approached to about two meters away that the Dream Death woke up.
As if awakened, the sphere instantly transformed into a humanoid creature wearing a cloak of light and shadow.
Alka just observed very carefully.
It seemed that when he was resting, there was a circle of reconnaissance waves about two meters around the sphere, and the black shadow python touched the waves when it approached two meters.
He told Lucelia about his discovery and asked her to write it down quickly.
What followed was an even more exciting scene.
The god of death in the dream held a black sickle in his hand and moved it upward from the bottom to the black shadow python.
Seeing that its hunting behavior was discovered, the black shadow python no longer acted cautiously and its body immediately swelled up.
However, its length was still only about two meters, but the upper third of its body suddenly expanded, and the black shadow looked like it had opened a huge mouth.
Biting directly towards the god of death in the dream.
The python that can sense this black shadow is at least much stronger than the eye monster.
This sudden bite was extremely fast, avoiding the sickle's attack and biting the enemy instead.
When the Dream Death was about to be bitten, he turned into a stream of light and went directly behind the python.
Alka's eyes sparkled as he watched.
If you observe for a while a behavior you have never seen before, you may be able to simulate it.
The pink mist and lenses attached to the Dream Death also assisted Alka in making a more detailed observation.
The dream god of death behind him swung his scythe quickly, directly cutting through the back of the black shadow python. A light and shadow fluid like ink flowed out, similar to the blood of the python.
The tail of the black silver python suddenly stretched out and lashed at the Dream Death God like a whip.
The corner of the Dream Death's cloak was curled up and slightly raised to block this attack.
But the impact also caused the Dream Death to move a few meters to the side.
The python's figure bent and straightened wildly, so fast that it seemed to be twitching, and like a slingshot, its figure was directly launched 10 meters away.
He turned his head and opened his mouth again, this time spitting out a black shadow ball.
It flew out with a long tail of light and shadow.
The Dream Death God dodged left and right. There were too many shadow balls. He couldn't seem to find an opportunity to launch an attack, and he couldn't move forward.
He raised his sickle, dodged another shadow ball, and then swung his sickle out.
The sickle rotated, and the light and shadow trail on the sickle directly formed a circle and flew over at an extremely fast speed.
This time the attack was so powerful that even the light and shadow cloak on the Dream Death God became a little dim, as if too much energy was used.
This should be a special attack method.
The spiral sickle shot out and cut the enemy's open mouth, but the speed was too fast and there was no time to dodge it completely.
Fortunately, there were no vital injuries and the python was not a pushover and managed to escape by moving to the side.
However, the sickle that flew behind it flew back again, and it returned even faster, which the python had never expected.
It directly penetrated the swollen front end of the python, cut a huge gap, and returned to the hands of the dream god of death.
The pierced python's body seemed to be leaking air, and countless black shadows splashed everywhere.
As the fluid-like black shadow was ejected and merged into the surrounding environment, the python shape of the black shadow became smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared.
It seems that this python is not on the diet of the Dream God of Death. He just watched the python disappear from the side, and only flew to the side with his sickle after it completely disappeared.
It seemed that this battle did not take him too much thought.
After finding another corner, he curled up into a ball of black and white mist and took a rest.
Alka and the other man secretly watched from the side and enjoyed it. This time they collected a lot of information.
This is exactly what Alka wants. If he now simulates the appearance of the Dream Death, he can also use the Light and Shadow Cloak to help him block damage.
He could also swing the sickle out and retract it, but he had not yet finished observing the movement that quickly turned into light and shadow. It seemed that there were other key points that he had not observed.
It is impossible to simulate such a mode of action, but in any case the form of the Dream Death has been further improved.
Moreover, the power of the Dream Death God is stronger than Alka imagined, and judging from the behavior of this Dream Death God, he seems to be smarter.
The black shadow python Alka was also simulated, but no matter which part of the simulation corresponded, it turned into a black shadow of the same shape.
Lucelia next to her was writing furiously in the book in her hand. She wanted to record all the creatures in the dream and include them in the monster encyclopedia.
Alka looked over her shoulder and read the information on Lucelia's manual.
Based on the feeling gained from his simulation, he gave instructions: "The real body of the Dream Death God is not like what he looks like on the outside. Whether it is weapons or the cloak of light and shadow, they all come from a spherical object in the middle of the body. The rest of the body is all for energy supply."
As he spoke, a mirror appeared on Alka's face, and he performed the state of the dream death for Lucia on the spot.
Lucilia observed it for a while before nodding: "What a strange creature."
If we compare it to a human figure, it is equivalent to the head, chest and even legs supplying energy to the ball at the waist.
The sphere covers the entire body with a cloak of light and shadow, wrapping and protecting the entire body, and condenses into a black shadow sickle for attack.
He also described to Lucilia the dream scene of the Grim Reaper hunting that Alka had seen before.
Use the sickle to cut open some weaker dreams, and Bubble will absorb the pink dream energy that comes out of the gap into his body.
Then the two of them waited there for a long time, making sure that the god of death in the dream was resting and not moving, and then returned to their respective dreams.
