Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 569

Run!

Run quickly!

As Augustus moved away, I needed to escape immediately.

But where to escape?

My brain made a movement similar to raising its head, looking up from the deep water towards the surface.

That “buzzing” sound disappeared.

It was replaced by the dense “shushing” sound of rain hitting the lake.

—But what was that?

My brain carefully sensed, then found eyeballs falling into the water, slowly sinking towards the bottom.

I remembered.

Su Su said it was raining outside.

Eyeballs were raining.

My brain quickly spun around in place.

Eyeballs were everywhere!

There was no way to escape, even if I wanted to.

Was I going to sink back into the depths of the mud again, hiding from Augustus’s pursuit?

But all these eyeballs were watching!

Just then.

Shen Ye suddenly noticed many things on the surface of the water, obscuring the already dim light, making the underwater even darker.

It was brains!

Many brains were floating on the water’s surface.

They crowded together, surging and floating, almost airtight.

With these brains, the pouring rain of eyeballs could no longer enter the water.

The eyeballs fell onto the brains, and were immediately squeezed and exploded by the strange波動 emitted by the brains, then completely absorbed.

Some brains also appeared in the depths of the water flow.

They emitted a slight波動, causing the water to surge upwards.

In this way.

The eyeballs that had already fallen into the river were carried to the surface, similarly squeezed and exploded, and then the brains swarmed over and absorbed them completely.

Some eyeballs suddenly accelerated and dashed, spraying out burning rays of light.

Once the brains were hit by the rays, they immediately exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

For a moment.

The two sides went back and forth, fighting more and more fiercely.

Countless brains and eyeballs were wiped out in this battle.

Shen Ye was stunned.

This…

Were the brains defending the river?

—He had never seen such a sight before.

Shen Ye was secretly pondering what to do when he suddenly saw an eyeball rushing towards him in a panic.

“Kill it!”

“Be careful!”

“Don’t let it touch you.”

Su Su, Ship of Destruction, and Uncle Seven transmitted their voices together.

Shen Ye was already on guard, and hearing the three speak with such caution, he immediately prepared to strike.

He directly used his psychic power to gather the surrounding water, forming a “water blade.”

—Long Hatred Slash!

The water blade chopped down at the eyeball.

The eyeball was extremely agile, moving slightly to dodge the water blade’s cut.

But it was no use.

The power of the Long Hatred Blade technique lay in its ability to generate thousands of sword lights of the same power, releasing a combined slash.

Wherever the blade passed, sharp lines of water suddenly appeared.

Swish!

The eyeball was struck by countless water lines.

A line of faint text popped up:

“The power of the Doublestroke River’s ?? is upon you, helping you condense sword lights, releasing a mixed slash of destruction, truth, and eternity, successfully killing the target.”

A power of ??, plus an attack of three source powers!

“Pop!”

The eyeball was immediately chopped into a messy pulp.

It worked!

Done with the fighting, time to escape!

After the slash, Shen Ye immediately wanted to leave, but saw several more eyeballs flying towards him.

What’s going on?

He saw several brains chasing those eyeballs in the surrounding water.

—The eyeballs were swarming towards him like a flock of sheep!

Damn it.

Are you treating me like a cleaner?

How can I participate in such a terrifying battle?

I’m out of here!

Shen Ye immediately wanted to leave the battlefield, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he stopped in place.

Wait a minute…

That last slash was made with the help of the “Doublestroke River.”

The effect was also very good.

What about its will? Why didn’t it speak?

Well, let’s just assume it doesn’t want to talk to me.

—If I kill eyeballs here, wouldn’t that also be helping the “Doublestroke River”?

With this camaraderie in battle, when we meet again, maybe it won’t be so hard on me?

And one more thing.

—I need to continue avoiding Augustus’s pursuit!

Staying here, as a brain, mixed among countless brains, Augustus would definitely not be able to find me!

Killing two birds with one stone!

Alright, then I’ll do my part.

With a plan in mind.

Shen Ye’s brain stayed in place, once again condensed a water blade, and chopped those eyeballs into powder one by one.

With his加入, the brains’ work efficiency immediately increased by a notch.

The “rain” kept falling, but it was all driven to Shen Ye by the brains.

Shen Ye then shattered all the eyeballs.

This process lasted a full seven or eight minutes.

He looked at the surrounding brains, and a sudden understanding dawned on him.

Yes.

Those brains clearly had power, and could kill eyeballs.

But they chose to use a strategy of luring the enemy.

—The eyeballs were either carried by the current or chasing a certain brain.

In short—

He seemed to have become a trap set by the brains, forced to kill all the eyeballs with all his might.

And the brains were resting.

Shen Ye was a little angry at first.

But soon, he fell silent and continued to kill eyeballs.

The brains of the Doublestroke River, dealing with eyeballs in this way, seemed to have a certain consideration.

Although he didn’t know what they were thinking.

But letting him participate in the battle was also a most basic trust.

If they didn’t trust him—

His fate would be no different from those eyeballs.

—The number of brains was simply too many, even Augustus and the being behind him were wary of them.

Since the brains are protecting me, I’ll continue to do these mutually beneficial things.

With that thought, he simply began to exert his full strength in the water flow blade technique.

To be honest—

With his strength, it was far from enough to deal with all the eyeballs.

But the surrounding brains used some method to change his trait “What a dangerous duck” to “What a sinister duck.”

“What a sinister duck!”

“Your trait has been renamed.”

“Description: Every attack you make will hit the enemy’s vital point, causing three hundred times critical damage.”

“This trait will last for twenty minutes.”

Shen Ye was shocked.

He silently kept the “trait renamed” in mind, and continued to immerse himself in the battle of killing eyeballs.

Ten minutes later.

A small line of text suddenly popped up above his head with a “clang!”:

“Honored Aizhu.”

“Honorary combat trait.”

“Description: You participated in a great battle, serving as both bait and trap, and contributed greatly. The brains named this trait after you and remembered you.”

“—Your actions have shown that you are genuinely helping the brains, and they can feel it.”

Shen Ye was completely stunned this time.

Traits, in any world, are extremely rare and powerful types of power.

They transcend basic combat power, skills, professions, and manifestations!

But—

Here, the brains of a river can “name this trait after you.”

They can bestow traits!

If a being can continuously bestow traits upon its companions, then their enemies will never win!

At this moment.

The “rain” gradually stopped.

A deafening roar came from deep in the sky.

The entire lake surface vibrated with it.

It was as if this was a signal.

All the brains released their waves, connecting across the lake, forming a vast thought that surged directly into the sky.

“You… seek… death…”

The fierce thought vibrated the ten directions of space, declaring war on the being hidden behind the clouds!

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

Those brains just now let him be the main force in the battle, while they silently accumulated strength on the side.

This was to fight against the being hidden behind the clouds who was releasing countless eyeballs!

Now.

The official decisive battle between the two sides was about to begin.

—He wasn’t needed now.

He also couldn’t join the brains’ “collective thought cooperation.”

Then—

Should I leave?

He could leave, but where could he go?

While he was hesitating, he saw a gray brain quickly swim over and stop in front of him.

“Come with me.”

The gray brain transmitted its voice.

After it finished speaking, it swam in a certain direction.

Shen Ye immediately followed.

The gray brain was in front, and the pink brain was behind. They quickly left the battlefield and arrived at a secluded tributary.

The waterway became narrower and narrower.

Eventually.

The two brains reached a small pond.

“Hide here, it’s safe.”

The gray brain transmitted its voice.

Shen Ye looked at the mud in the pond, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

—They knew about him hiding in the mud before.

So they prepared another pond like this for him?

Tsk.

Still friendly.

Shen Ye was about to ask something when a series of術法波動 suddenly came from afar.

In the sky.

The brains swarmed up, covering the sky and rushing towards the clouds.

The power of術法 also began to gather behind the clouds.

The power波動 of that術法 was different from any Shen Ye knew.

Just feeling that波動, a thought immediately came to Shen Ye’s mind:

“Can’t win at all.”

—It was a power that brought complete despair!

Suddenly.

A faint line of text popped up:

“The trait ‘Doublestroke River’ named by you has been activated, is currently operating well, and is helping the river fight.”

The small text quickly disappeared.

In Shen Ye’s perception, hundreds of brains had gathered on the distant river surface, merging into one, transforming into a giant brain.

It was launching invisible attacks towards the clouds!

Shen Ye looked at this battle beyond comprehension, and a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

That trait bestowed upon him—

He had seen it at the very beginning.

Not only had he seen it, but he had also used it to give the river a trait name.

—The naming technique bestowed upon him by the river!

Yes.

That’s it!!!

Therefore—

The will of the Doublestroke River had not communicated with him, nor had it spoken, because—

Its consciousness was actually a collective consciousness.

—The countless brains in this river gathered together, collectively forming the consciousness of the Doublestroke River!

Shen Ye was immersed in this conjecture and began to ponder what he should do next.

The gray brain, however, turned a corner in the water.

It was leaving!

Shen Ye immediately stopped it:

“Wait a minute!”

“Why do you say I won’t live long? —Also, what else can I do for you?”

He threw out two questions at once.

The first question was his own confusion, and the second was to deepen their relationship!

—You have to say something, right?

The gray brain paused in the water, and transmitted its voice:

“If you can’t join us, you will definitely die here, because this is the true world, far from ‘grace’.”

“Grace?” Shen Ye repeated.

The gray brain transmitted its voice:

“Yes, humans are still in ‘species grace’.”

“—Your species civilization is still in its infancy, protected, and has not seen true horror. This is the iron law of all rules.”

“You have left the world covered by ‘species grace’ and entered our world, which is like a newborn lamb entering the battlefield of a demon god.”

“I’m also a brain, can you accept me?” Shen Ye asked.

“You are a human brain, and we are all powerful brains that have escaped ‘species grace’. You cannot join us.”

This information is incomplete.

—More conversation is needed to understand the details.

“Dude, you saw, I have a destructive side.”

Shen Ye simply spoke openly.

After all, if the other party wanted him to die at first, they could have done it simply.

No need to lie to me!

“Destruction is even worse. Everything here detests destruction,” the gray brain transmitted with a tone of distaste and righteousness.

It was about to leave.

Shen Ye, on the other side, immediately understood.

—There was no time for a detailed discussion now.

Nor would the other party discuss it in detail.

But it didn’t matter—

“What can I do for you then?” Shen Ye asked again.

The gray brain stopped again.

For us.

Do something.

—This person has a heart to do something.

Of course, they were welcome.

“See this deep pool?” the gray brain transmitted.

“I see it,” Shen Ye said.

The gray brain explained:

“This is a hidden pool, you are relatively safe hiding here.”

“But if you want to help, then I’ll take you somewhere else.”

“Let’s go,” Shen Ye said directly.

The gray brain released a wave of spatial术法.

In an instant.

The two brains completed a teleportation, arriving below a waterfall.

“You can dig down—”

The gray brain said.

“It’s all hard rock down here, do I need to dig through it?” Shen Ye asked.

The gray brain said:

“Yes! Dig through here, and our strength will greatly increase—because our bodies are hidden below, but this place is blocked by some enemy, and we cannot summon the power of our bodies!”

“Of course, there are also many dangers hidden here.”

“You decide for yourself.”

After the gray brain finished speaking, it swam away in a hurry.

Only Shen Ye, a pink and tender brain, remained under the waterfall.

All right.

The situation was actually very clear.

He had established a certain connection with the Doublestroke River, and it was willing to temporarily protect him.

If it died.

He would lose his protection and might die with it.

Then help it dig!

Shen Ye shouted “Door!”

The Endless Destruction Throne quietly opened.

Mining factory mobile suits emerged one by one, standing in front of the waterfall.

They wielded their weapons, striking at the hard rocks on the ground.

Clang!

Sparks flew!

Those rocks were extremely hard, and the weapons couldn’t cut them at all.

Shen Ye pressed his hand to the ground, activated the trait “Mandala Ouroboros,” and began to extract elements from the rocks on the ground.

“Something is coming.”

Uncle Seven suddenly spoke.

“It’s that guy’s aura—I’m too familiar with him, it’s Augustus!” Ship of Destruction also said.

“Run.” Su Su said.

Right now, Shen Ye was just a brain.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.

Not only that, but they had already met once before.

If they happened to meet here again, Augustus would definitely be suspicious.

“It’s okay, I’ll change my identity.”

Shen Ye said.

He abruptly activated the Emperor Species bloodline.

Almost instantly.

The pink brain turned green.

—This was the Zerg Brain!

In this way, not only did it fall out of the human category, but it also clearly displayed Zerg characteristics.

Augustus had never seen those mobile suits either!

The next second.

A long tentacle suddenly appeared.

Augustus’s head extended from the end of the tentacle, staring at the opposing mechs and brains.

The mechs were smashing the ground with a “clang, clang.”

The brain had a sinister aura, but it wasn’t overly sinister.

“Who are you?”

Shen Ye asked in the Emperor Species language.

Augustus’s expression became serious, and he rebuked:

“An Emperor Species insect brain? I didn’t expect even you to betray the world of truth.”

“You are—” the brain asked in confusion.

“Augustus, Lord of the Withering Scepter!” the other side said proudly.

The green brain shouted:

“Oh, so it’s you! I thought only someone like me would betray the revolution—no, betray the world of truth. I didn’t expect, Augustus, you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to also defect!”

Augustus: “…”

For a moment.

He spoke again: “What are you doing here?”

“This is our Doublestroke River’s business, it has nothing to do with you,” the green brain said.

“Then have you seen a human?”

“No.”

“And a duck?”

“You’re joking, Your Excellency with the Withering Scepter, how could such a creature possibly appear here?” the green brain said with an incomprehensible tone.

Augustus was silent for a few more breaths, then spoke again:

“Emperor Species… you were originally an auxiliary life form of the True World’s creations. As long as you undergo a few evolutions, you will become incredibly powerful!”

“I know this,” the green brain said.

“Do you want to switch sides and come work for me?” Augustus asked.

“You?” the green brain asked.

“Exactly—this river is already in decline and will soon dry up, you’d best find a way out early,” Augustus said in a cold tone.

“Are there any benefits to following you?”

The green brain changed its tone.

Augustus naturally noticed, and a faint smile appeared on his face, as he said:

“For example—returning to the True World.”

“I’m with so many brains now, and each of them is talented and speaks so well. I really love it here. Why would I want to go back?”

The green brain asked in a very puzzled tone.

“Go back and conquer all creations! I will help you!” Augustus said solemnly.

“Going back is impossible, it’s impossible in this lifetime—I don’t get along with those creations, it’s only in a place like this, with so many brains, that I can maintain happiness.”

The green brain said.

Augustus fell into a long silence.

Finally.

He sighed, mumbled a few words like “inferior” and “intelligence,” then turned and went in another direction.
