A foreigner's journey

Between the five fingers of the demon god ZERO, the illusory flames and smoke dissipated, revealing a figure that Heather had never expected.

A silver-white python with a body length of more than 20 meters coiled in the void.

He had an elegant figure, and the scales on his body were silvery-white metallic, as if it were a fine work of art cast with mercury.

A pair of snake pupils were golden, but there were purple fluorescent embellishments in them.

Mercury Snake, worthy of the name.

"I knew that there were only wrong names but no wrong nicknames... so you were called 'Mercury Snake'."

Heather stroked his chin and suddenly realized:

"You did not become a foreigner as a [human], but as a [snake]!"

He finally understood why the last of the three treasures of the dream god, the 'Mask of the God of Sleep', had never been seen. It turned out that the mercury snake had been using the mask of the god of sleep to fundamentally change its body structure, making itself look like a normal human.

Heather's illusory figure automatically appeared in the palm of ZERO's open hand, with her hands in her pockets, looking at the glittering mercury snake.

"At this point, even the last fig leaf has been stripped off by me, your fate is over, mercury snake."

Heather tilted her head: "Do you need me to make a specimen of your body?"

The mercury snake slightly raised its head, spit out its snake tongue, and uttered a low female voice: "Once the foreigner's fire is burned out, the body will turn into ashes and disappear in the infinite multiverse. Say less of this kind of silly speech in the future, it will only show your shallow knowledge."

"Oh, and you are a lady, I am sorry." Heather put her hand on her chest and bowed slightly.

"Stop pretending..."

The beautiful silver-white scales on the surface of the mercury snake began to dim.

"I don't have much time left. If you have any more speeches to say, just say them all in one breath.

This is the spoils you deserve."

Heather pointed her finger at the mercury snake: "I'm just curious, can non-humans also become outsiders? Tell me, how did you become an outsider."

"Oh, in the end you just want to hear a story?"

The mercury snake said slowly in a slightly low and hoarse female voice:

"I am an exception, a snake born in a zoo who likes to dream, that's all.

As I grew up, the space in the snake house was a little too narrow for me.

I was sleeping for longer and longer , getting longer and longer...until I couldn't tell the boundary between dream and reality, the zoo disappeared, replaced by humans locked in cages, and snakes roaming outside the zoo to enjoy the stupidity and ugliness of these upright hairless apes.

At first, I laughed happily, until I swam to a cage and saw my favorite keeper looking at me with horror. His usually carefully groomed golden oily hair looked messy, and his strong body huddled in the corner of the cage, dying.

This is not what I want to see.

I woke up from the dream, but found that reality and dream had already begun to blend.

My power unconsciously began to erode the world I was in, and she began to fall into irreversible madness.

I learned about it through the Internet, movies, and other media. I have been looking for inspiration to control my power through movies and books, and I have also tried to use the power of dreams to save everything, but it only makes the world more chaotic and crazy.

To save this world, I must participate in the foreigner game, and the organizers have invited me.

After entering those worlds, I was ridiculed and humiliated because of my inhuman body.

Becoming stronger is my way out. Strength is my reliance.

Later, how long has it been... I met the bastard who looks exactly like my breeder.

He did not discriminate against me because of my appearance, but regarded me as an equal opponent for communication.

We fought, but there was no winner. After a long time, we met again and continued to fight, and the cycle repeated.

Later... my old enemy came to me. Send an invitation, invite me, a non-human being, to enter the spiral.

There, I met a great leader who I would always look up to. I bowed down to the leader and fought for the destined future like that bastard..."

Heather suddenly asked: "Leader? I have heard the name [Spiral Prince] from the little prince and Cosmo. Is he your leader? What is the goal of your spiral?"

"... You are just a little brat who relies on your own powerful strength to do whatever you want. You can't understand everything we insist on. "

The scales of the mercury snake became grayer and grayer, and the voice became old from that of a young woman, but the light in the snake's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if it was a last ray of light.

Her eyes passed Heather, Demon God ZERO, and this world, looking at the unknown distance, and she murmured:

"Cosmo, you bastard, you died like this... like this..."

The snake lowered its head and let out bursts of uncontrollable sobs, which turned into sharp howls filled with anger:

"This is different from what you promised! Spiral Lord, you promised me! Why!!"

As the mercury snake screamed, Heather actually felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, as if something was about to happen.

[She can't keep shouting! ZERO's cosmic information blockade is collapsing! The name 'Spiral Lord' seems to be attracting something's attention to the world of Diablo. 】

Nana's urgent voice sounded in Heather's ears.

Heather burned the last cosmic crystal without saying anything.

Demon God ZERO immediately clenched his five fingers and held the mercury snake in his hand, and the seventh demon power was fully activated, which complemented the concept of weapon.

Intense photon power burst out from between Demon God ZERO's fingers!

Endless light entangled the mercury snake, and the concept of dream was pried open and began to flow towards Demon God ZERO.

"Is this how you extracted the concepts of Cosmo and Mara? Hahaha! What four? They are nothing but monsters that eat their own flesh and blood!"

The sharp voice of the mercury snake, which sounded like crying and laughing, sounded in the hands of the demon god ZERO.

"I curse you, Heather! You will be separated from your loved ones forever! You will watch them die one by one!

As a lonely person, dying like a dog with no one to care about you, this is your ending hahaha!

It hurts... My concepts... My power... Cosmo... All taken away...

Is this a dream? It hurts... No! I can't accept it!

Spiral Lord! Spiral Lord! You promised! Why!

You clearly already-"

Boom--!

Countless fragments exploded from the fingers of the demon god ZERO, turning into floating semi-illusory fragments that fell in the air and finally disappeared without a trace.

Mercury snake, completely dead.

In the cockpit, Heather suddenly covered her eyes and groaned.

Beside him, Suzan knelt on one knee, breathing heavily, and also covered his eyes.

A new conceptual power was entwining and growing in Suzan.

As Heather and Suzan slowly released their hands covering their eyes, their eyes became exactly the same at this moment.

That was the Sharingan shining with the brilliance of dreams.
