Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 338
byThe earth quaked.
Quaked.
Quaked.
Countless enormous biochemical mechs charged towards the battlefield.
But this time.
Upon countless corpses.
People had revived.
A fire elemental spellcaster rose from the ground, his hands quickly forming a spell seal.
At the same time, the image of a river of molten lava appeared behind him.
“Damn guys… taste this move of mine, unleashed with all my might.”
The spell seal, enhanced by the avatar, was instantly formed.
A blazing phoenix, radiating intense fire, appeared in the sky, letting out a clear cry.
Its body was hundreds of meters long. With a flap of its wings, it flew into the midst of the biochemical mechs.
Boom—
Flames exploded.
The shells of the mechs glowed fiery red, and the flesh and blood inside sizzled.
Gradually.
Some biochemical mechs stopped moving.
In another part of the battle formation.
A professional team leader, wielding a giant hammer, roared furiously, fighting neck and neck with a biochemical mech.
The giant hammer and iron fists continuously collided, producing deafening sounds.
While the professional attracted the biochemical mech’s attention, several other professionals climbed onto the mech’s body, attacking with all their might.
The biochemical mech had its arms, legs, and head removed, leaving only its torso lying on the ground.
Its torso continued to wriggle on the ground—
But it couldn’t attack anyone.
“Final blow.”
The hammer-wielding warrior roared, unleashing his attack with full force.
Boom!
A several-meter-deep crater appeared on the ground.
The biochemical mech lay in the center of the crater, flattened into a crumpled tin can by that last hammer blow.
Such scenes occurred in every corner of the battlefield.
Humanity’s frenzied assault gradually tilted the battle in their favor.
However—
Shen Ye stood on high ground, looking into the distance.
More mechs were arriving, entering the battle.
“I understand.”
Shen Ye spoke, “All these people participating in the battle, you killed them once, so you think you can win again.”
“Is that right?”
The corner of her mouth curved slightly, and her hands clasped together.
—My Existence in the Mirror!
Within the endless river of history, the “Soul Master” and the “Non-Life Master” cooperated for the first time!
A faint glowing text quickly appeared:
“Every Soul Puppet is your clone, thus it can use ‘My Existence in the Mirror’ for body replacement.”
“Initiating replacement.”
In an instant.
On the battlefield, countless humans disengaged from battle, flew into the air, and entered the mirrors.
Then they fell back down again.
With new bodies from the mirrors, their five attributes were immediately restored to full.
All injuries healed.
Combat power returned to its peak state!
“Kill! Kill them all!”
A greatsword knight roared, soaring into the air, and cut off the biochemical mech’s head.
Humans, like an ant colony, charged across the vast plains, sweeping away all enemies, destroying everything in their path regardless of life or death.
Someone was injured.
Someone had exhausted all five attributes.
Someone’s spell was on cooldown and couldn’t attack for a while.
“Again.”
Shen Ye spread her hands and re-formed the seal.
My Existence in the Mirror!
Ice shard mirrors scattered across the sky shifted positions in the void, ensuring that every Soul Puppet was reflected in a new mirror.
Body replacement again!
Humans once again returned to their peak state, launching a fierce assault on the biochemical mechs!
—These tireless attacks, who could possibly withstand them?
Gradually.
The biochemical mechs stopped advancing.
They began to flee the battlefield.
In the sky.
A series of whistling sounds seemed to approach.
“It’s nuclear warhead martial arts again!”
Big Skeleton gave a strange cry.
“It’s fine,” Shen Ye said.
She changed her hand seal, retracting the “Soul Master”‘s professional skill “Soul Puppet”—
In an instant.
On the entire battlefield, all living people vanished without a trace.
Since these Soul Puppets were created with permission, there was no curse involved, nor would they turn into heads and appear on Shen Ye.
They transformed into figures, landing behind Shen Ye, hidden in the void, no longer moving an inch.
Shen Ye looked up.
Seven or eight missiles, trailing long plumes, flew towards them.
This “carpet bombing” tactic again!
Her expression remained unchanged as she casually pulled out an ice shard mirror and glanced at it.
In an instant.
The girl disappeared from the battlefield; only the ice shard gently fell to the ground.
Amidst violent explosions.
A destructive light swept across the entire battlefield.
However, it harmed no living soul.
When all the explosions ceased.
The girl reappeared.
At the edge of the battlefield.
A dense army of robots had gathered.
Above those robots floated a humanoid metallic construct, about three meters tall.
It looked somewhat like a woman.
As Shen Ye looked at it, its voice suddenly echoed in Shen Ye’s ears:
“I am the Empress Bee, who commands all destruction protocols.”
“Surrender.”
“Surrender now, and you will undergo a transformation. Your consciousness will be preserved, living with machines until the end of time, instead of having a lifespan as short as an ant’s.”
Shen Ye uttered only one word:
“Attack.”
Countless human professionals emerged from behind him, charging with all their might towards the opposite side of the battlefield.
The Empress Bee said coldly:
“Suicide is your common self-destruction program, and I have never appreciated it.”
As her voice fell.
The six pairs of wings behind her vibrated rapidly.
—High-frequency resonate brainwave blast ripples!
All human professionals, and even the ice crystal mirrors suspended in mid-air, exploded at once.
Only Shen Ye, shielded by Big Skeleton’s magic circle, remained unharmed for the moment.
He unleashed his avatar to cover the surroundings, his gaze falling upon the shattered ice shard mirrors.
What if the mirror was broken?
It didn’t affect the skill’s release at all!
Shen Ye reached out, pressed her hand into the void, and softly said:
“I and all things intertwine.”
In an instant.
All the dead Soul Puppets returned to the mirror, and the living ones reappeared on the front lines.
Now aware of how terrifying the enemy’s attack was, Shen Ye began to personally control everyone.
“Volley!”
Under his command, all ranged professionals unleashed a volley of spells towards the Empress Bee!
They saw various elemental lights filling the sky, streaking across like meteors.
Their numbers were too great; it was an entire spell volley of large-scale warfare, having reached the threshold of qualitative change.
The Empress Bee, left with no choice, vibrated all over, releasing an invisible sound wave shield to block the attacks.
Taking this opportunity—
“Earth Demon Beast, do you permit me to use your profession?”
Shen Ye asked.
The Earth Demon Beast flew out from the avatar, nodding its head dutifully.
Bang.
A soft sound.
A brand new Earth Demon Beast appeared before the original Earth Demon Beast.
It stared wide-eyed, looking at the Earth Demon Beast puppet, then made various gestures.
—The other one was exactly like it, like its reflection in a mirror!
“Attack with full force, let the sea of spells drown that poisonous bee.”
Shen Ye said.
The Earth Demon Beast immediately stopped studying its doppelganger.
It rushed into the sky, its hands moving like afterimages.
Frost Storm!
Frost Storm!
Frost Storm!
Three instant casts per second, all spells stacked.
This terrifying spellcasting ability surpassed the response limits of most professionals.
The Earth Demon Beast, while frantically casting spells, glanced to its side.
It saw its other self also rapidly casting spells.
Meteor Fire Rain!
Meteor Fire Rain!
Meteor Fire Rain!
This was a terrifying, large-area fire spell that was difficult to avoid, especially when cast instantly!
The area where the Empress Bee was located was completely covered by spells.
Tens of breaths later.
All spells ceased.
A fierce wind whistled past, sweeping away all the dust on the plains, revealing the true aftermath of the battle.
Not to mention the Empress Bee, not even a single robot could be seen.
Utter annihilation.
—That area had been transformed into a ten-thousand-foot cliff.
The spells, like a raging tide, directly destroyed the enemy along with the earth itself.
Shen Ye withdrew his gaze, first checking his attribute consumption.
One “Soul Puppet,” three “My Existence in the Mirror.”
Consumed 60 points of mental power.
Such a large-scale battle had only consumed that much.
At this moment.
She suddenly realized the importance of her profession.
Xu Xingke had initially not allowed her to easily take up other professions, fearing it would divert her attention and consume time.
But for extremely rare professions, he also supported her taking them up.
60 mental power points.
To win a battle that determined the survival of the world.
—This was the profession of a top-tier cosmic powerhouse!
“Radiation and pollution are still very annoying. I should have won by now, can I leave this area?”
She asked the void.
At this moment.
The battlefield was littered with damaged biochemical mechs.
Only one human remained.
—One person whom even nuclear bombs couldn’t destroy!
The war was won!
An endless dark figure descended from the sky, saying:
“You won.”
“Now is the time for you to make a choice.”
“What choice?” Shen Ye asked.
The dense dark figures coalesced into the form of a Little Girl, and she spoke:
“You can obtain our power.”
“—All the power of us personalities, beyond the ‘Snake Woman’ Charlotte and the Demon of Fear.”
“But you must be clear about that matter.”
“What?” Shen Ye frowned, pressing for an answer.
The Little Girl spoke:
“In fact, you cannot deceive yourself, nor can we pretend not to know that matter at this time—”
“You are a personality forcefully transformed by Charlotte using some special method.”
“Actually, you are not one of us.”
Shen Ye remained silent.
At this moment, he didn’t know if speaking would, in any way, jeopardize Charlotte’s battle.
However—
It was indeed true.
The Little Girl spoke:
“You eliminated the key points that caused us the most pain, which is why you have the right to choose.”
“You can gain all of our power.”
“But because you are not one of us, the power you gain will be greatly diminished.”
“Besides, you have two other choices:”
“Either grant our power to the Demon of Fear; or grant our power to Charlotte, helping her, Nancy, and Pe’a Suo win the entire personality battle.”
“Please choose.”
Shen Ye said without hesitation, “Give all the power to Charlotte.”
The Little Girl looked bewildered, raising her head to look at him, and asked:
“You could easily gain immense power and become at least an eighth-level expert in the law realm, so why do you still care about Charlotte?”
Shen Ye said: “Power would be diminished if it came to me, which is too inefficient. It’s better to give it to her completely.”
The Little Girl looked at him and continued:
“But after you gain that power, you can become a strong person who dominates others.”
Shen Ye gently stroked the Little Girl’s head and smiled:
“I can constantly grow stronger through my own efforts, without needing to seize the power of others.”
“Besides, after seeing what she’s been through, I hope she wins.”
“Why?” The Little Girl tilted her head, looking at him.
“I’m on her side,” Shen Ye said.
Before his words finished, an abrupt change occurred—
Wisps of dark mist emanated from Shen Ye, forming a figure in mid-air.
It was the shape of an adult male, with human heads growing all over his back.
Shen Ye was so shocked he forgot to breathe.
This was the Nine Aspects personality he had first seen—
The Abusive Devourer!
Why would it appear?
Before Shen Ye could do anything, this personality, entirely composed of dark mist, suddenly let out a scream and vanished into thin air.
“This is the curse of the Demon of Fear.”
The Little Girl continued calmly, as if multiple voices were overlapping:
“You already know that this curse will make you lose all your powerful friends.”
“However, its most dangerous aspect is not this. Only we negative personalities know that it will always be watching you.”
“As long as you show even a hint of greed for our power, wanting to claim it for yourself, the curse will erupt.”
“You will be consumed by greed, degenerating into the most vile personality among us—”
“The Abusive Devourer.”
“—After Charlotte’s trick brought you into the game, the Demon of Fear immediately cursed you. This was a clash between the two personalities manifesting in you.”
“Now, the curse on you has been completely shattered.”
The Little Girl showed a look of disdain and continued:
“A weakling with no talent or courage, wanting to rely on others’ power to reach unprecedented heights—such a person is not worthy of being our comrade.”
“Fortunately, you are not such a person.”
Shen Ye listened dazedly, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Since he entered this realm of memories, if he had shown any desire to covet the power of the Nine Aspects, the Demon of Fear could have killed him!
—If he had given in to greed, even Charlotte would have been powerless to help him.
And once that outcome was achieved—
It would instantly deliver a huge blow to Charlotte!
“The Demon of Fear is truly insidious.”
Shen Ye muttered softly.
Such a perilous situation, he was completely unaware, yet incredibly lucky to have won.
What about next time?
So his choice was correct.
He had to quickly empower Charlotte and completely vanquish it!
“Alright, I need to find a place to rest for a bit,” Shen Ye said weakly, waving his hand, “Now, you go to Charlotte and the Demon of Fear and help Charlotte.”
“No,” the Little Girl said.
“No?”
“Yes, in fact, I cannot go over to them.”
“…Are you messing with me?”
“No, Baxter.”
The Little Girl took a step forward, held Shen Ye’s hand, and leaned against him, seemingly cherishing the feeling.
“The true key to victory is actually in this world,” she said.
“What do you mean?” Shen Ye asked.
“That spell—when Charlotte and the Demon of Fear fought, they inadvertently drew that spell into the conflict. Its power is enough to truly end this struggle,” the Little Girl said.
Shen Ye was startled, a shiver suddenly running through his body.
Countless images flashed through his memory, causing a certain truth to abruptly surface.
“Are you talking about… the Nightmare Spell?” he couldn’t help but ask.
“Exactly.”
The Little Girl glanced at him, finally releasing his hand and stepping back.
She transformed back into a dark humanoid figure and vanished into nothingness.
Only one sentence echoed around:
“Wait a moment, and you’ll understand.”
Shen Ye was silent for a moment, then flew into the sky, swiftly leaving the battlefield.
He flew hundreds of miles until he found an uninhabited mountain peak, where he landed to rest and await the return of the Nine Aspects’ multiple dark personalities.
At this moment, lines of faint glowing text silently appeared:
“Baxter’s reputation has transcended the limits of time and space, echoing in a crucial decisive battle in a past era.”
“This promulgation of renown has gained the acknowledgment of the cosmic power, the Nine Aspects.”
“Brother Term: Blood Sucking Baby (Gold) has now achieved unprecedented prestige.”
“If you can perform more praiseworthy brother-like deeds, this term will grow into a higher-level term.”
All the small words flashed and quickly disappeared.
Above gold was dark gold.
What kind of powerful abilities would a dark gold “Blood Sucking Baby” term possess?
Shen Ye felt a longing, but after thinking carefully, he couldn’t help but shake his head.
Too difficult.
This time, it was an internal struggle between top cosmic powers, and because he was familiar with it, he was allowed to participate, avoiding immediate death.
Any other time, a powerful being of this caliber could have directly crushed him.
It was absolutely impossible to do it again.
The void suddenly stirred.
The dark figure, transformed into a Little Girl, dragged a strange corpse and threw it on the ground in front of Shen Ye.
“Multiple scattered negative personalities formed me, I am Annie. Hello, Baxter.”
“Annie? Hello,” Shen Ye said.
“With my power, killing a weakened Emperor Species is naturally a simple matter.”
Annie spoke.
Shen Ye looked at the corpse on the ground.
It was indeed an Emperor Species.
It was a dominant species in the universe, having spent so many years breaking seals on dead planets and, incidentally, wiping out the human population there.
But before the Nine Aspects, it died like a dog.
Utterly worthless.
“You can ask the corpse, so about the Nightmare Spell, you can just ask it.”
Annie seemed not to care about the Emperor Species at all and continued:
“The one who dominates the fate of this world is not some artificial intelligence, but a fellow called ‘World Destruction Experience Avatar’.”
“You are not its opponent, so now I must enter the battle.”
“—I will hold it off.”
“Shen Ye, it’s not the main point. The main point is for you to go to the Nightmare World, seize the Nightmare Spell, and help Charlotte defeat the Demon of Fear.”
“In that case, everything will end naturally.”
As Annie spoke, she pressed her hand into the air.
In an instant, violent explosions echoed from the distant sky.
It seemed that something that hadn’t even given chase yet was prematurely wiped out by her mid-journey.
“…Okay, then I’ll go to the Nightmare World.”
Shen Ye said.
шшш☢TTKдN☢￠〇
He collected the Emperor Species corpse from the ground, planning to ask it thoroughly later.
As for now, it was better to hurry to the Nightmare World and investigate.
“Wait a moment.”
Annie said.
“Something else?” Shen Ye paused.
“The curse that the Demon of Fear placed on you has been broken, so I can offer you some small help now, for example—”
The Little Girl stepped forward and merged with Shen Ye’s body, Nancy’s.
In an instant.
Shen Ye lost control of his body.
He was ejected.
Nancy’s body was controlled by multiple negative personalities!
“Don’t worry, I must use this body to fight to change the course of this world.”
Annie formed a spell seal with one hand, and with the other, she pressed it against her chest, solemnly asking:
“Possessing the power of the ‘Soul Master’, do I allow myself to use my profession to bestow power upon Baxter?”
Shen Ye was stunned.
What?
She actually used the “Soul Master”‘s skill “Soul Puppet” on herself?
The Little Girl answered her own question:
“I allow it.”
Bang!
The skill activated!
A girl identical to her appeared in the void beside her.
At the same time.
Lines of faint glowing text appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes:
“The ‘Soul Master’ used her professional skill ‘Soul Puppet’ on herself, targeting you.”
“Congratulations.”
“You have obtained ‘Soul Puppet – Soul Master Annie’.”
“Her strength is exactly the same as the multiple negative personality Annie.”
“—A professional special technique that only the Nine Aspects can understand and master.”
The Soul Puppet lightly landed beside Shen Ye and spoke:
“Baxter, I now possess all of Annie’s power, no different from her. I will serve as your puppet and go with you to the Nightmare World to fight.”
Shen Ye looked at the Little Girl puppet, then at the Little Girl.
In other words—
When the Nine Aspects fought, could it create a puppet with the exact same power as its main body at any time?
Wouldn’t that mean having to fight two Nine Aspects?
…A terrifying professional skill.
Completely on par with the “Non-Life Master”!
“Her power is the same as mine; it will be a great help to you—the only concern is not to tell anyone else the puppet’s true name, as that would allow the Demon of Fear to sense it.”
“Go quickly, the Nightmare World is crucial!”
Annie said, waving her hand.
In an instant.
Shen Ye and the puppet disappeared.
The world seemed to stretch into lines, flashing past Shen Ye’s eyes.
A dizzying spin.
His feet landed on solid ground.
Accompanying him was, naturally, the puppet Annie.
Faint light appeared as small text:
“Nightmare World.”
“This world has also returned to its ancient era, formed shortly after being released from the Tomb Guard God of the Ancient Wilds.”
“Currently in human territory.”
Shen Ye looked around, finding himself surrounded by mountains.
In the distance, there was a small stream.
“Annie, how do we find the source of that spell?”
Shen Ye asked.
Annie remained silent.
Only then did Shen Ye realize.
—This wasn’t the real Annie, but a puppet with Annie’s strength.
It could fight on its own, or be controlled by him to fight.
Beyond that, it had no soul.
Never mind…
I’ll just explore myself.
As Shen Ye was about to move, a stern shout suddenly came from the nearby bushes:
“Don’t move!”
Shen Ye stopped moving.
A team of human soldiers, wielding long spears, emerged.
“What are you doing?”
The captain asked.
Shen Ye looked back at the towering mountains behind him and replied:
“We are hermits residing in these mountains.”
“So you are hermits, and by what name do you go, sir?” the captain asked.
Shen Ye felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity upon seeing these human soldiers dressed in Nightmare World attire, and he spoke:
“I am Peppa.”
The captain then looked at the Little Girl beside him: “Is this your sister?”
“Ah, yes.”
“What’s her name?”
Shen Ye was about to say, but suddenly remembered Annie’s warning.
Cannot say the true name.
His gaze fell on the Little Girl, and he naturally said:
“Her name is Loli.”
“Is that so? The brother is Peppa, and the sister is Loli?”
The captain took out a notebook, quickly jotted down their names, then gestured to them:
“Demons have been appearing more and more frequently recently. We recommend that you, brother and sister, come with us, otherwise there will still be danger.”
“Alright, that would be helpful,” Shen Ye said.
