Volume 2: Funeral Song of Crows Chapter 49 Negotiation
"Disaster, you are not welcome here!"
William stopped after hearing the sweet voice. He floated in the air and looked at the other person.
In front of him at this moment was a huge misty shadow that was so blurry that he could only make out a female figure. The only clear part of his body was the two eyes that were flashing with a faint blue light.
"Why? Is it because I robbed you in the Holy Sepulchre not long ago, and because I tore down the six layers of curtains here the last time I came here?"
William asked with a smile.
The other party did not reply to William. The sky, which was as rich in color as an oil painting, was stirred by a force. The color of almost half of the sky was pulled into a deep vortex, and then a huge attraction came out from the vortex.
This force has no effect on tangible objects, but any intangible object, whether it is a summoned creature constructed by magic or a moon realm monster, will feel an irresistible strong pulling force.
The first to be hit was the crow messenger floating next to William. Under this force, it instantly turned back into the form of a crow, and then its feathers began to be torn off.
The same thing happened to William. The wings made of light behind him were torn apart by the huge force and turned into fragmented light spots that were attracted into the vortex.
The moment the surrounding Moon Realm monsters saw the vortex appear, they immediately flew into the sky, dug holes, or turned into mist, each using the fastest speed to leave this dangerous place in front of them. This is a sign that the Nightmare Lord is angry. If you dare to stay here at this time, you will be reduced to the most basic emotional elements by the Nightmare Lord and wait for re-creation.
In fact, some Moon Realm monsters that existed a long time ago and experienced the past war had already fled when they heard Ms. Clawmara say the word "disaster". The last time the man named "Disaster" came here with his men, he killed only two of the seven demon generals of the Nightmare Swamp. It was not until the last hundred years that Ms. Clawmara used the power she had accumulated from the real world to restore her demon generals to a full strength of seven.
In addition to the Demon Generals, no one knows how many ordinary Moon Realm monsters were killed - they were all truly killed, true deaths where they couldn't even rebuild their bodies.
"Lord William!"
The crow messenger flying beside William saw that his entire bird was about to lose control and be pulled into the vortex. He shouted in despair to William who was barely keeping stable in the huge force.
The latter waved his magic medium towards the ground, and a huge dark brown magic circle appeared on the ground below them. Then, a rock platform arched up from there and quickly rose to their feet. At this time, the light wings behind William were torn apart and turned into light spots. He grabbed the crow that was about to lose control and landed steadily on the stone platform.
A heavy feeling connected to the earth offset the pulling force brought by the vortex, and William felt that the magic power in his body that was restless due to the vortex had calmed down.
At this time, a dark blue gaze was cast towards him. At this moment, William was at the same height as the eyes of the Nightmare Lord's phantom.
"If you want to take action, at least listen to my intentions first."
William stood on the stone platform and looked at the other party and complained.
The Lord of Nightmares snorted coldly, and dense cracks instantly appeared on the stone platform under William's feet. The entire stone platform shook, as if it would shatter and collapse in the next second.
"Your purpose... Do you think this is still a thousand years ago? Or do you think this is still your era? You are just a stumbling block left over from the past. You may be a nuisance, but you are definitely not an obstacle. In the new era that is coming, you can't stop anything."
Zhuamala said in a condescending tone.
But what He said was not wrong. Judging from the current power comparison between the Moon Realm and the Vic Continent, even if the End Watchers of a thousand years ago came through in an organized manner, their chance of winning might be less than 20%. Compared to the current Moon Realm, his own combat power alone was just a small trouble for the Void Kings on their way to completely controlling the entire continent.
but……
"So the problem lies in this so-called 'new era'. I want to know what kind of new era you are pursuing? Is it the ashes and silence that the Ruin God Odin pursues, or the endless battles and rage that the Blood King desires, or the endless reversals and betrayals that the Whispering Queen Beatrice hopes for? You don't have any disagreement on this issue, right?"
William asked, staring into the deep eyes of Clawmara.
But to this, Zhuamala just replied disdainfully:
"Disaster, what you are saying now is completely meaningless. Even if there are differences on how to deal with this world in the end, it is only a problem between chess players. Mortals who are chess pieces should not think of giving us any suggestions."
As He spoke, a gauze-like mist began to cover the stone platform where William was, and then a fine mesh seal condensed from it.
This was the other party's move to completely seal off the nearby Moon Realm. If William did not break through and leave before the seal was formed, he might be trapped here and face the Nightmare Lord's true form .
Now that William does not have Judgment Nine in his hand, he does not even have the ability to break through the Nightmare Lord’s defense in theory.
Lightning bolts as thin as silk threads began to flash near the stone platform, destroying the mesh seal formed by the mist and delaying the construction of the seal. William calculated how much time he had left to leave, and then followed the other party's previous remarks and said:
"So for you, even if the chessboard is smashed, it doesn't matter?"
Hearing this, the Lord of Nightmares fell silent.
But He still did not stop constructing the space seal.
This shows that William's words have not yet shaken the other party enough.
So he went on to add:
"Plane fusion means binding the Moon Realm with the land of the real world. If this plan succeeds, there will be no more nightmares and weirdness on the entire Vic continent, nor will there be any fear and horror from normal to abnormal. Because these things will become things that happen every minute and every second in reality, and will become the daily experience of every mortal. No matter how perfect the horror effect you create in your nightmares is, it is not half as terrifying as what other void kings can do in reality. And your authority will become worthless after the fusion of the planes - what do you plan to change your title to then? Lord of Realism?"
If there is anyone in Lord of Nothingness who, besides the Mad Fool, would not want the plane fusion to happen, then William can only think of the Lord of Nightmares.
Nightmares are terrifying because they distort reality. If the entire world were to become a real distorted magic world, the power held by the Nightmare Lord would become meaningless. By that time, Jumala himself would only be reduced to a follower who picked up leftovers from other void kings.
After William finished speaking, the space seals built around him stopped. William took the opportunity to destroy them all at once, and then said in a slow tone:
"There are many ways to completely let the Moon Realm control the Vic Continent, and plane fusion is the least cost-effective one for you. It may even be worse than maintaining the status quo - with your authority to connect to the nightmares of all mortals, you can still gain a lot of nourishment from the world even if it is not your disaster rotation year, but what if..."
"You don't mean to tell me..."
Zhuamala interrupted William and asked in an unprecedented mocking tone:
"The 'Lunar Disaster' that thwarted our plans three times and sealed off all the lunar rifts on the Vic Continent now wants to help a Void King gain benefits from the real world with maximum efficiency, right?"
William stopped when he heard this and replied in a serious tone:
"How could that be? If possible, I wish you all would die."
