——Nightmare Breeds——

When this terrifying monster, which obviously could not have been born on Terra, appeared, a strong sense of fear instantly swept through the bodies and minds of everyone in the control room.

Whether it is the director or the monitor, the researcher or other guards, even though they are clearly the ones who released the monster in the nightmare, the despair and fear that burst out from the depths of their hearts and cannot be contained with reason still echo in their hearts. , but could not speak or give orders.

It was like the oppressive feeling of an extremely frightening nightmare from which one could not wake up. It made everyone want to scream in fear, but they could only remain silent.

Even though Ian had no fear in his mind, his body began to work abnormally violently.

The young man keenly sensed that Gu Long's heart core began to operate actively for the first time in a long time. It was beating fiercely, expanding and contracting, as if it was facing a powerful enemy, and for the first time it showed something close to 'caution' and 'attention'. 's fluctuations.

"Interesting - it seems that even the True Dragon Ancient Dragon has something to be afraid of, and even instinctively 'go all out'..."

Ian did not step forward rashly, but activated the medicine injection system inside the Kuangkong Armor, injecting all the various strengthening medicines that had been prepared into his body to maximize his strength before the battle.

Buzzing... The flow of source material visible to the naked eye traveled along the blood vessels, causing the shaped light spot at his heart to flash slightly.

In fact, he cannot attack the opponent - the nightmare tumor is not an entity, but an aberration of the subspace.

Only when the creature "Nightmare Breed" born from the Nightmare Tumor appears, it can be attacked.

At least for the second energy level, that's the case.

However, at this moment, with the silver halo flashing in his eyes, he also saw through the strange details in front of him.

【Void Breeds Evil (Void Realm Seed)】

[Third energy level·Dream illusory body·Elite·Inedible]

[Through special spiritual rituals, the image of the "most terrifying thing" in the collective subconscious of intelligent life is summarized and materialized into an illusory beast. The normal illusory body should have naturally dissipated after losing spiritual support, but this species Its extremely powerful nature allows its shadow to naturally gather the spiritual energy in the surrounding natural environment to maintain itself, and can even be regarded as an entity in subspace and virtual realm]

[But precisely because of this, this individual has no physical body, only an illusory mind-light body. And the Heart Light Body only has some basic abilities]

[The original body is the galaxy-level destructive super-body ‘Void Spawn’ (also known as Void Reaver). It is a doomsday species that wanders among the stars and absorbs the spiritual energy of all things and the planet itself as food]

[For the health of the ecological environment, it is recommended to annihilate it as soon as possible]

【……】

"No, what's going on?"

Ian, who originally just planned to see the details of the monster in front of him, was stunned for a moment.

Putting aside, it was the first time he saw the phrase 'it is recommended to annihilate it as soon as possible' in the silver chip's information... The 'galaxy-level destructive creature' in front of him had already made his pupils tremble and his brain trembled.

Galaxy level? !

A galaxy...is not a planetary system with only one sun...if we just talk about a galaxy, we should be referring to a super giant star system like the Milky Way...

The perfect form of the evil in the void... is actually a super life form that can dominate the galaxy? !

It’s no wonder that something as illusory as the ‘shadow of imagination’ that is merely extracted from the collective subconscious can also be strengthened to the third energy level in its terrifying nature.

Ian recalled that when he encountered the Ether Crystal Dragon in the insect nest, he saw that the description of its prototype 'Ether Stardust Dragon' was not that exaggerated. According to the description of the silver chip, it was an 'endangered protected species'... and Void The evil actually suggested annihilation as soon as possible.

Of course, this is actually not surprising. After all, this kind of advice to annihilate is probably a level of advice like "There is a raccoon in the backyard. For the safety of your trash can and cat, it is recommended to kill it quickly."

From the perspective of Silver Chip, the Void Breeder is obviously a 'pest'.

But the existence of the other party itself is outrageous enough.

The simplest point.

——Do humans on Terra deserve to dream about such horrific monsters?

Ian is not looking down on human beings. He fully believes that human intelligence and potential can definitely grow to a very high level... But with the technological level of the civilization in the pre-Era of Terra, I am afraid that he has just obtained the key to the star sea and the curvature of the ether engine. Navigation has not yet become fully practical.

With this level of technology, how could it be possible to encounter a monster like the Void Breed that, according to the description, could devour the planet?

If we really encounter it, that is to say, the end has come, and all mankind must wait to die. What a nightmare.

But thinking of this, Ian suddenly felt something in his heart.

——He remembered that there were not only Terran people in this ghost place of Terra.

There are still a lot of aliens in this world!

And based on the nature of the Terran people's way of sublimation... Ian seriously doubts that the current Terran bloodline may actually have a lot of alien blood (or even all mixed together)... This may also be the cause of the distortion. one.

Therefore, the ‘nightmare’ extracted by the Academy of Gnosis from the collective subconscious of intelligent life is the ‘nightmare’ that is likely to be hidden in genes and even the source of matter.

A kind of nightmare hidden in the instinct of all living beings.

And this instinct, just like the ancient dragon heart core in Ian's body that is running at full strength at this time, will be on guard against the nightmare breeder in front of him, and he will be extremely vigilant.

But the problem comes again.

"What exactly is a real dragon?"

Not all life forms are capable of ‘instinctively’ guarding against the evils of the void. They must at least have encountered this thing, survived more than once, survived, fought against or even defeated civilizations or super life forms...

Whether it is the civilization of the previous era or the current civilization of Terra, they are almost meaningless.

It seems that the secret behind the true dragon species may be greater than imagined... If Ian wants to know the truth behind all this, he must at least see the body or dragon soul of a true dragon, and then he can pass through the silver... The information on the chip knows what a real dragon is.

exactly.

In the central laboratory, the dragon soul of a real dragon, 'Xio', was imprisoned.

The other party is also the target of Ian's rescue.

All thoughts happen in one moment.

The people in the monitoring room are still in a kind of instinctive and strong fear without any reason. This is the "aura of despair" and "aura of fear" that comes with the nightmare.

After all, the Nightmare Breeder is not a real sublimated creature, it is just a nightmare entity extracted from the collective subconscious of life by the Academy of Gnosis.

Although it is equivalent to an entity in the subspace and virtual realm, it does not have a real body, and naturally does not have a true mind.

Since no one gave an order, it lingered in place, watching the surrounding world with curiosity. The brown and dark green carapace became clearer and clearer, closer to reality.

But the director who headed it was at the second level after all, and he had experienced this terrible fear instinct that could shock everyone's heart, so he broke away from it relatively quickly.

He glanced at Nightmare Breeding with fear and decisively ordered: "Destroy the enemies outside the door!"

The command complied with the system and turned into light patterns and poured into the body of Nightmare Breeder. The monster, which was more than five meters long, was slightly stunned, then vibrated its four wings, and its dense compound eyes locked on Ian in front of him.

It let out a silent but soul-shaking howl, and then its back arched, and the two pairs of wings on its back vibrated violently, rushing towards Ian with a burst of ear-piercing supersonic vibrations.
