Chapter 1203 The Second Dream Battle (2)
"Dreams have always been a forbidden zone for all transcendent beings, save for druids and high-ranking priests. In dreams, human nature, desires, interests, and demands—all sorts of different threads mingle together. Even gods trapped in dreams cannot fully control themselves. The Life Spirit Goddess has reached the pinnacle of this realm."
"After the great God of Knowledge and Wisdom, playing the role of a certain personality of the Elf Goddess, personally joins the war, many details of the dream will change, which will put people's hearts to greater test. Therefore, I would like to kindly remind Wayne Stewell that the world in the book is not static. It is like an open world, constantly being interpreted. It is the same for both sides, and generally it is fair (probably). However, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, fighting on home turf, has a home advantage and can make some minor modifications. Therefore, it is the most suitable medium for the confrontation in the war of power."
"Now, Wayne Stewell crashes directly into the dream world with a giant stone giant that possesses the aura of a true god. Will this be the X-factor of the world in the book? Will this be a horror story? Yes, it is very likely to be a horror story for Wayne Stewell."
Zhou Ning frowned slightly. At this moment, they were already in the city center square of Dockland. The sky was the familiar blood red, and countless light points floated in the air like bright stars. This was a sign that the Ascendant Ceremony was in progress.
Beside him, besides Jasmine, Leandro and Meredith, there was also Stuart Crow, the Archbishop of the Ascetic Church, who had a rather dull expression and held the Scepter of Saint Zachary in his hand. These were all his former teammates.
Then, just as he expected, according to the characteristics of the world in the book, the same characters in the book will be replaced by the original body first after the original body enters the world of the book.
After crashing into the dream with him, the true god Obelisk's Giant God Soldier did not appear near him.
As for his specific location, Zhou Ning had already made a judgment.
Guarani was plotting against him, and Zhou Ning was trying his best to counterattack, intending to win the final round of the power war.
In addition, if I remember correctly, the key point of this dream is that there are a total of twelve workhouses, and they had missed two before. If the overall plot of the world in the book has not changed, Leonardo and the players should have enough time to stop the Ascendant Ritual.
He took out his pocket watch, clicked it open and took a look. He found that the hour hand, minute hand and second hand were all close to the scale of 0. Then he suddenly realized that there was no concept of time in the kingdom of God.
This is even more difficult.
But now I can only trust my companions and the players.
Zhou Ning cast his gaze on Jasmine and Leandro, especially the latter, who was already eager to try. Zhou Ning understood his thoughts very well. Leandro's mother died in the Darkland disaster. He had been depressed for a long time because of his failed attempt to save Darkland. Now he finally had a third chance.
As for those players... although they are always laughing and joking, as long as they are properly guided, they can now play a backbone role.
"You should know how to save Daklan. Just go ahead and do it. Leave the rest to me." Zhou Ning patted his shoulder and said solemnly to Leonardo.
"Yes, Your Majesty Sternwell." Leonardo's face was serious. He pounded his chest hard and nodded heavily.
To have a second chance, to try again to save his mother and prevent his father from losing control and falling into depravity, was already a blessing. He would do his utmost to fulfill Lord Sternwell's request, even at the cost of everything.
These tragedies are his eternal regret!
Zhou Ning then looked at the players and directly issued to them the tasks that had been written in advance.
At the same time, all players received a task at the same time:
[You triggered the racing mission: Destroy the poorhouse.]
[Note: Time is short, and the road is tortuous. As the most outstanding among the Chosen, Wayne Stewell greatly admires your strength and character and places his trust in you. Destroy all marked workhouses at all costs and assist Wayne Stewell in this final attempt. Can you finally save Dockland and sing a hymn of human courage?]
[Current mission objective: Destroy the 12 marked workhouses and report your mission results to Wayne Stewell.]
[The faster you complete the task and the more workhouses you destroy, the greater the reward.]
【基础奖励：韦恩·斯特威尔的信任，260万经验（浮动奖励260-520万），随机技能*1（浮动奖励1-2）。】
Many players showed complicated expressions, their blood boiling in their hearts, and they were extremely excited.
Just a few months ago, they had fought side by side with Wayne Stewell here, doing their best to complete the mission. Although they ultimately failed, the sense of participation and epic feeling were still fresh in their memory. In the end, they failed at the last minute, and the collective death of all the rescued people became a bittersweet outcome for them.
The previous tragedy was Leonardo’s regret, but wasn’t it also the regret of these loyal fans of “Apocalypse” and the devoted players who were fully invested in the plot?
Now that time has passed, they have become demigods and have received exactly the same mission as before, giving them a chance to change the world line with their own hands. How can they not feel nostalgic?
"This mission is epic!" Shenxing exclaimed softly under the water.
"Yeah! The most fun part of Apocalypse is the plot and the sense of immersion. There's no routine at all, and anything can happen." This time, even Brother Tangshan didn't argue, and nodded emotionally. He is indeed a professional player, but in essence, he is still a gamer.
Watching the players disperse with Jasmine, Leonardo and others, Zhou Ning thought about it and decided to let the Six Paths of Pain follow the players. These six secret puppets each have their own power. Even if the plot of the world in the book changes and the difficulty increases sharply, they can still ensure the mission is carried out to the greatest extent.
After finishing everything, Zhou Ning suddenly cast his gaze towards the Darkland Fortress and took a silent breath. Without hesitation, his body suddenly became thinner and smaller, transforming into a white falcon, spreading its wings and flying forward at full speed.
The scene on both sides quickly flew backward. Maple trees lined the sides of Darkland Fortress. In the distance, beneath a massive tree, I could vaguely see another version of myself standing on the shoulders of a blue monster covered in mysterious patterns. It exuded a divine aura of brutality and destruction, holding a book with a green cover.
This was the key to the third dream: another Wayne Stewell. Due to the added power of the reader's authority and the feedback from the characters in the book of the same name, his strength was surprisingly that of an ordinary god, exactly as he had expected.
Of course, Zhou Ning was not as relaxed as he appeared at this moment. To some extent, Zhou Ning himself was not sure what the outcome of this power war would be.
It is foreseeable what kind of difficulties one will face in the final fifth dream.
However, even if the opponent is really strong, Zhou Ning knows his own fighting style very well, not to mention that he has a hidden backup plan. Obviously, there is no suspense in this contact battle.
Facing his other self, Zhou Ning changed back into human form in mid-air and struck down from mid-air.
As he fell through the air, a huge beam of pure and brilliant light gushed out from his palm, along with the back of his windbreaker, his body, and the maple leaves dancing in the air, and shot towards another self in front of him with a loud sound that shook the air.
The person who knows himself best is himself. Zhou Ning opened fire at full force, trying not to give the opponent any chance to summon the three mythical gods.
This is the tenth-order magic of the light system in "Overlord", the holy light burst. Zhou Ning had previously forcibly controlled this magic by sacrificing the nameless spell.
Now he is a magic god who is good at using super-level magic.
Despite the sudden attack, the fake Wayne Stewell seemed to have received some inspiration from the book. He paused for a moment, then dodged the attack like a willow catkin. Meanwhile, in the darkness, Zhou Ning had already vanished from sight, using the recoil of the beam. The next moment, he was once again soaring through the air, his entire body hurling itself towards the fake Wayne Stewell's position.
But this movement was too slow compared to Zhou Ning's peak performance.
The fake Wayne Sternville turned back in the air like a flying swallow, and a gun popped out of his palm, but at this moment, the fake Wayne Sternville's ankle tightened, and a huge blue arm flashing with electric light had already grasped his ankle tightly.
