Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 585

Chapter 568: Raid and Counter-Raid!

On the frescoes of the Church of Destruction, there were three dark flames connected together.

Unlike other main gods—

These were three Destruction Overgods born together.

That is, the three brother Overgods who cooperated with Kaelen to hunt down Shen Ye, attempting to obtain that wisp of his soul.

They were:

Silas, Siren, and Oja.

Oja was born the latest but was the strongest.

After witnessing his methods and power, his two elder brothers, Silas and Siren, willingly worked under him.

—After all, the combined power of three Overgods far surpassed that of most Overgods.

Since then.

Every joint operation, the three brothers successfully overcame all obstacles and gained various benefits.

This time should be no exception.

“We have information.”

Silas said.

“Those creations skilled in observation and information gathering gave us coordinates, supposedly a dream world,” Siren said.

“Dream world… No wonder his title is ‘King of Nightmares’.” Oja mused.

Silas and Siren felt the same way.

A king-level human adept at manipulating dreams?

He suddenly spoke:

“Have you ever dealt with dream-type enemies?”

Kaelen paused, then showed a hint of annoyance.

—Is this questioning me?

Or rather, is this a preemptive move to intimidate me into backing off?

After all, that human boy defeated that wisp of soul with the power of dreams—or so it seemed.

If I know nothing about the power of dreams—

Then many subsequent matters could legitimately exclude me.

But this matter was destined to disappoint the three brothers.

Kaelen sneered.

—He was extremely skilled at dealing with dream-type abilities.

“I have some experience.”

Kaelen said lightly.

“Oh? Tell us about it,” Oja asked with interest.

“It’s simple—ignore everything in the dream, never take it seriously, persist until the end, and you’ll usually win.”

“It’s best to have some treasures and spells to counter dreams.”

Kaelen said.

This sentence hit the nail on the head.

It was true.

Oja couldn’t help but nod and said:

“Very well, let’s go then.”

“Go!”

The four Overgods identified their direction and flew towards the nightmare world.

Their speed was extreme.

It wouldn’t be long—

Before the killing began.

…

Nightmare world.

On a fishing boat.

The sea monster that attacked the fishermen was covered in wounds and retreated into the sea unwillingly, fleeing far away.

The battle finally ended.

Shen Ye lay on the deck, clutching his stomach in pain, spitting blood.

“I’m… done for… go back alone.”

He said haltingly.

Aloysius knelt beside him, his expression despairing, but he said:

“Hold on, please hold on, we will definitely get back safely!”

Just now.

The monster was clearly attacking him.

But Brother Shen blocked for him!

Only then did he seize the opportunity to repel the terrifying sea monster.

—He was injured because of him!

Indeed.

He used to be a doctor.

But Brother Shen’s wounds were beyond his capabilities.

Moreover, they were at sea, without such conditions!

—Brother Shen was probably in danger!

Shen Ye sighed, ignoring the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and said in a sorrowful tone:

“Finally… I just want to see that move of yours…”

“Brother Aloysius, will you tell me the secret of that move?”

“Hey, what’s wrong with that!”

Aloysius readily agreed.

It was just a technique.

Brother Shen was dying!

He quickly explained the key points of the technique, then shouted loudly towards the back of the boat:

“Uncle Seven!”

“His injuries are severe, speed up! Take us back—”

The captain was a kind, middle-aged man.

Brother Shen Ye called him “Uncle Seven.”

He followed suit.

Uncle Seven’s voice came from the cockpit:

“No, only Shen Ye knows the way. If he dies, we’ll be completely lost at sea!”

Aloysius’s heart sank.

Being lost in the boundless ocean was practically a death sentence.

This was no ordinary ocean.

This place was full of strange and terrifying monsters!

—He had gained a bizarre memory, awakening power and knowledge.

But his memory contained no information about this ocean!

Was he really going to die here?

No.

…Many powerful skills required him to grow stronger before he could use them.

What to do.

Uncle Seven’s voice rang out again:

“Careful, a boat has appeared ahead. I don’t know whose boat it is!”

Someone?

Aloysius immediately stood up and looked into the distance.

Indeed, there was a boat.

And it was an iron-clad ship!

This was the first time Aloysius had seen such a metal-hulled ship in the “Spirit World.”

Could a big shot have arrived?

As he was thinking, Uncle Seven’s voice rang out again:

“It’s a human kingdom’s ship—perhaps there’s a priest—if there’s a priest, Shen Ye can live!”

Hope flared in Aloysius’s heart.

He quickly jumped onto the railing and shouted loudly towards the iron-clad ship opposite:

“Help!”

“We need help here!”

At this moment, the sea was calm.

His voice quickly traveled, spreading far and wide.

The ship’s attention was drawn, and it quickly adjusted its course and headed this way.

The two ships drew alongside.

Several knights in chainmail jumped onto the deck, first looking at Shen Ye, then at Aloysius.

“Who are you?”

A knight asked.

Aloysius hurriedly said:

“We are from the common folk. We just fought a sea monster, and my companion is severely wounded. Please lend us a hand.”

“You repelled a sea monster?” the knight asked, emphasizing his words.

“Indeed,” Aloysius said.

The knights exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

One knight turned and shouted loudly:

“Bring a priest, someone is seriously wounded and dying!”

Several priests jumped onto the deck and knelt to examine Shen Ye’s condition, immediately beginning to treat him.

Their method of treatment was very strange.

They simply chanted some spells, then directed a holy light onto Shen Ye, and then left him alone.

Shen Ye’s injuries healed rapidly at a visible pace.

His life was saved.

Aloysius’s mouth hung open in astonishment.

—Could this be considered medicine?

Why was it so effective?

In his memories, there were indeed some images of healing, but he had only seen these images and understood their profound knowledge.

With his current full attributes (in Shen Ye’s words), he didn’t have enough mental energy to cultivate similar techniques.

But no matter what—

Brother Shen had survived!

“That’s great, Shen Ye, you got another chance at life.”

Aloysius said excitedly.

“Yes, I got another chance at life.” Shen Ye himself felt fortunate.

He still looked very weak.

—After all, he had lost so much blood, and at this point, he had only just managed to survive and still needed further treatment.

At this moment, a knight jumped from the opposite ship and said to the two:

“I heard you are heroes who repelled a sea monster?”

“We’re not heroes, we just did our humble part to protect the imperial waters,” Shen Ye said.

“Very good, the King wishes to see you,” the knight said.

The King?

Aloysius felt a surge of surprise.

Guided by Shen Ye, he already knew that beyond Earth, there was a “Spirit World” dedicated to protecting the planet.

This “Spirit World” had four major races: humans, elves, orcs, and undead.

Was he about to meet the King of the human race now?

“You go, I can’t move right now.”

Shen Ye leaned against the wall, his face pale, breathing weakly.

“Hmm, his injuries are not simple. Don’t move him for now. He needs continued treatment.”

The leading priest said.

Aloysius said, “Please treat him immediately.”

The priest immediately shook his head, “We must have the King’s permission to continue treatment—the spell materials we use are very expensive.”

Blood started to ooze from the corner of Shen Ye’s mouth again.

Aloysius panicked a bit.

You can’t die now.

If you die, I’ll die here too.

No choice.

Only—

“I will see the King, please lead the way,” Aloysius said.

“Okay,” the knight said.

A few minutes later.

On the ironclad ship.

Aloysius stood before the young and heroic King.

“What is your name?”

“Aloysius.”

“Aloysius? A good name—I am Norton, the lord of all humans, King of the Holy Violet Empire.”

“Your Majesty, please save my friend. He was severely wounded by a sea monster and urgently needs treatment.”

Aloysius directly made his request.

“You repelled a sea monster?” King Norton asked with interest.

“Yes, Your Majesty, my companion is gravely wounded and still requires your assistance,” Aloysius said.

Norton asked his advisor beside him, “How badly is that person wounded?”

“Very serious. Saving him would probably cost a large sum of materials, which is very uneconomical,” the advisor said.

Norton hesitated, “But they were able to repel a sea monster, so they should be considered brave subjects. I think it’s still necessary to save them.”

“Your Majesty, there are many liars these days. We can’t just believe whatever he says,” the advisor reminded him.

That’s true.

Norton pondered for several breaths and made a decision:

“How about this, Aloysius.”

“As long as you prove that you possess the power to repel sea monsters, I will have the priests save your companion.”

“But if you are deceiving the King—”

“Your fate goes without saying.”

Aloysius naturally wasn’t afraid to prove his strength.

“Your Majesty, I eagerly wish to prove my strength, but how should I do it?”

He asked.

Norton naturally took out a Nightmare Crystal and threw it to him.

“I have a set of saber techniques here. After you’ve seen it, if you can devise moves to counter this technique, I will consider you to have passed and immediately order your companion to be saved.”

Saber techniques?

To break the opponent’s saber techniques?

Aloysius was a bit curious and a bit nervous.

Curiosity because he had never seen such a method of examination; nervousness naturally because he feared he would fail, Shen Ye would die, and then he would be punished by the King as a liar.

He held the Nightmare Crystal and, following the method Shen Ye had taught him, crushed it.

Clatter—

The crystal cracked, and the misty fog sealed within rose, enveloping him.

Soon.

A set of saber techniques appeared in Aloysius’s mind.

“The Secret Record of the Dual Blades of Annihilation, Breaking All Things…”

Aloysius quietly comprehended the mysteries of this saber technique, and soon he was moved.

Regardless of anything else.

The power of this saber technique was simply beyond his imagination, reaching an extremely terrifying level.

To break this saber technique?

Me?

Aloysius racked his brain, quickly searching his memories for a countermeasure.

Fortunately—

The things in his memory were even more terrifying.

“Your Majesty, please give me a Nightmare Crystal. I will infuse the countermeasures into it.”

Aloysius said.

“No problem.”

Norton readily pulled out a Nightmare Crystal and handed it over.

Aloysius took the crystal and immediately began to infuse various moves—

He was also a man who worked with absolute thoroughness, determined to thoroughly convince the other party, and directly wrote in seven methods to break the “Secret Record of the Dual Blades of Annihilation, Breaking All Things.”

As he infused.

The crystal began to emit a dazzling crimson light.

“Your Majesty, please see.”

Aloysius handed over the crystal.

“Good—everyone, leave.”

Norton commanded indifferently.

The group of knights and attendants all left the room.

Only Norton sat silently on the high seat, looking at the crystal in his hand, which glowed red.

Crimson.

This indicated that the knowledge stored within the crystal transcended rules and broke through certain limits.

—He initially thought it was just playing a trick with Shen Ye.

Who knew the gain would be so great!

No, he must immediately transmit it to Shen Ye!

On the other side.

Shen Ye lay on the deck, beginning to read the content displayed on the magic letter.

This was a copy of what Norton had received from the Nightmare Crystal, which he directly transmitted to himself.

Brilliant.

He never thought that in the eyes of a Void Saint, the Secret Record of the Dual Blades of Annihilation, Breaking All Things, would have so many flaws.

There were as many as seven ways to break this saber technique!

Shen Ye read, comparing it with his own saber techniques, and felt his horizons expand.

In the void.

Two lines of faint luminous small characters quietly appeared:

“You are diligently studying the flaws in saber techniques, shoring up your own weaknesses.”

“Your understanding of saber techniques has deepened.”

He was scrutinizing it when he suddenly felt a stir in his heart.

“It seems someone has come—they’re coming for me, how could they find me?”

He transmitted his voice.

“It’s the Overgods of Destruction,” Charlotte’s voice echoed in his mind. “I told you, they always have a way to find you.”

“How did they do it?” Shen Ye was a bit puzzled. “I’m clearly hidden in this dream.”

“It seems they also constructed a dream, and then connected it to your dream, and then applied for a king-level invasion battle—”

“As the King of Nightmares, you must accept the challenge, otherwise your world will not be saved.”

Charlotte said.

“I see, I’ll switch bodies and go see,” Shen Ye said.

He directly awakened the body of young Shen Ye, and with the body of a youth, responded to the other party’s challenge.

In an instant.

Hundreds of thousands of miles away.

At the edge of the nightmare world.

“Here it comes!”

The four Overgods of Destruction exclaimed in unison.

A streak of light cleaved through the sky, quickly landing opposite them.

“Trinity, formation complete!”

Oja shouted directly.

The three brother Overgods together performed hand seals, unleashing a combined technique—

Destruction Divine Art: Elegy of All Souls!

Shen Ye was unable to move a single inch as soon as he landed.

This was a sneak attack.

It didn’t make any sense at all; they intended to kill him right away!

“Hahaha!”

Kaelen laughed maniacally:

“How’s that? This is a combined technique of three Overgods of Destruction. Even if you’re a king, you won’t have time to cast any spells—”

“Kid, you’re finally going to die by my hands!”

Shen Ye fell silent for a moment.

The next second.

Before Kaelen could say anything more, a glowing rift suddenly appeared in the sky.

A pair of fleshy hands forced the rift open, and a head emerged from the depths of the sky.

—It was a giant worm-like monster!

Its body was covered with slender segments, forming dense, long legs that constantly adjusted their positions in the void.

“Void Maw!”

Several Overgods cried out in alarm.

—This seemed to be an extremely famous and terrifying creature.

But it should exist in the cracks of the myriad realms, how could it appear in the world of truth?

“It’s a dream—it’s our hallucination!”

“Don’t fall for it!”

Kaelen shouted loudly.

However, in the next instant.

The three brother Overgods vanished.

—Just like Kaelen back then, they were directly teleported away by a mysterious force.

Could it be that the power of the frescoes brought them back to the church?

Kaelen’s heart sank, then he immediately realized.

“It was you, kid—you used a dream to obscure the other three Overgods, but they’re actually still here, aren’t they?”

Kaelen rushed forward, grabbed Shen Ye, and roared loudly.

Shen Ye glanced at the void.

Lines of faint luminous small characters appeared there:

“You have prematurely activated the king-level pupil technique ‘Calamity Demon Eye’.”

“The monster ‘Void Maw’ summoned by this demon eye will surely kill both you and your enemies.”

“—Great, the sky has fallen.”

It must be said.

This pupil technique was quite effective.

“You can believe all this is fake,” Shen Ye said with an indifferent expression, “but I advise you to enjoy the last moments of your life, otherwise you won’t even have time for regret.”

Sweat beaded on Kaelen’s forehead, but he immediately sneered.

“Your dream illusion has a huge flaw—if it’s the ‘Void Maw’, you’ll die too!”

He looked down at Shen Ye and said.

“Really?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes, that monster devours everyone it sees, it’s a terrifying existence beyond king-level. You wouldn’t create a situation where you’d die too!” Kaelen said excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ye “ah-ed” and died on the spot.

He died.

—He used a very simple and primitive technique to kill this clone of his.

Kaelen froze.

The other party actually died?

—Three Overgods escaped, one enemy died, and now he was left alone to face this monster?

What to do!

Kaelen looked up at the terrifying monster, renowned throughout the myriad realms, and a surge of regret suddenly welled up in his heart.

Yes.

The one who could slay the clone of that existence.

How could he be a soft persimmon?

At this moment.

He had no retreat.

On the other side.

On the ironclad ship.

Norton patted Aloysius on the shoulder, praising,

“You are indeed an outstanding hero of humanity.”

“But to save your companion, I have one more move I want you to see.”

“If you can tell me what this move is and explain it, I will immediately save your companion.”

A phone was handed over.

“Your Majesty, you also use phones?” Aloysius asked doubtfully.

“We use them sparingly—take a look at that video, see if you can recognize anything,” Norton said.

Aloysius took the phone and started watching.

“I know this.”

He opened his mouth and said:

“This is a Destruction Divine Art called Elegy of All Souls.”

“Can you write down its details? We humans and Destruction are mortal enemies, and this technique has slain many of our heroes.”

Norton showed a concerned expression and asked gently.

Aloysius searched his memories for relevant information, then cheerfully said:

“There’s a lot of information. I’ll write it down. Please give me a Nightmare Crystal.”

“No problem.”

“What about my companion—”

“Don’t worry, he will receive the best treatment.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“You’re welcome.”

Aloysius’s wish was granted.

He began to diligently record the information about that move.

Norton observed the other party, casually tucking the magic letter in his sleeve.

The letter still bore a message Shen Ye had just sent:

“Don’t worry, he’ll write it.”

“—He’ll even thank us.”
