Chapter 566: Nightmare King

Chapter 566: Nightmare King
Arena.

The broken half of Shen Ye's body recovered instantly.

He pulled the long sword back from the other's chest, put it back into the sheath, and then bowed.

"Thank you for joining us."

The tone is sincere and genuine.

——But no one responded.

Opposite him.

The blond man stood there with a dazed look on his face.

"Hey."

Shen Ye shouted.

The blond man didn't respond.

"What's the point of starting this fight? You didn't kill me, and instead you cut off one of your tentacle."

Shen Ye put his hands on his waist and sighed.

At this moment.

The blond man's aura disappeared completely and he froze there, as if he had turned into an unconscious puppet.

but.

In the endless void outside the arena.

Countless huge black shadows swayed back and forth, emitting tremendous ferocity, as if they were about to rush over at any time and kill Shen Ye in one fell swoop.

"Just to be clear, you wanted to kill me, so I cut off one of your tentacles."

Shen Ye shouted loudly into the void.

——Those black shadows were the tentacles' true bodies. Because I cut off a piece of them, they wanted to kill me immediately.

but--

I won.

I represent the will of destruction, I fight with you, and I win this duel!
A moment.

As expected, lines of faint, small characters appeared in the void:

"You win this 'cage battle'."

"This is a secret battle of destruction and D-0314's world."

"As the winner, you absorb the power of the king from your opponent and gain new powers."

There was only a loud bang.

A line of small words appeared above Shen Ye's head:
"?????"

"A king-level entry, a power entry recognized by all worlds."

"describe:"

"1. This King's Battle was initiated by the Great Catastrophe of Destruction and the D-0314 World. The winner can use this entry to recruit troops and horses and rule a world until a new King-level opponent defeats you;"

"2. When you choose the world you want to rule, this entry will be created and grant you a king-level ability."

"——In the king-level battle that shocked the world, humans made their debut and won!"

In the void.

A ball of dark flames suddenly emerged and enveloped Shen Ye and the blond man.

The blond man's body was taken away directly.

Shen Ye's eyelids twitched.

Although the king's power from the tentacle was absorbed by himself, the corpse was also extremely useful.

Destruction Catastrophe collected the bodies without even saying hello.

This way of eating is so ugly.

next moment.

He was teleported away directly.

……

Black Flame City.

Devastated.

All the heavy artillery positions were blown up, the altars collapsed, and the bunkers were flattened.

No one survived.

Monsters have taken over the city.

The void opens.

Shen Ye suddenly appeared.

Those monsters were destroying all the buildings on the ground. When they sensed his presence, they immediately stopped.

They gathered together very quickly and charged towards Shen Ye.

"One more fight?"

Shen Ye sighed.

He was about to draw out his long sword when a voice suddenly came from the void:
"No need."

Countless dark flames formed a channel in the void.

A figure made entirely of flames appeared.

He walked out of the passage, raised his hand, and made a casual gesture of dismissal.

All of a sudden.

Flames rose from the ground and swept across the entire city.

The monsters stepped on the flames and had no time to resist, and were burned into screaming pillars of fire.

"Noisy."

The flaming figure spoke.

next moment.

Dust flew and fell silently.

——All the monsters that occupied the city were reduced to ashes.

The flames on the flaming figure's body went out, and he turned into a normal human being.

But he is a handsome and charming man.

He had narrow, sharp eyes, short reddish-brown hair, a long string of metal earrings on his ears, a slender figure, and a lazy and comfortable demeanor.

"Lord God?" Shen Ye asked uncertainly.

"I am the God of Destruction, Chiron. Who are you?" the man asked.

"Baxter." Shen Ye said.

"Very good, Baxter, you have the power of the original spirit, and you can also transform into a human body, which is really excellent, but what I want to say is-"

"Would you like to sell your sword skills?" Kairon asked.

"I'm sorry, that move actually utilizes too many kinds of power, and I haven't figured it out myself, so I can't teach it to you." Shen Ye said.

Kailong immediately laughed, and his eyes moved down to the long sword at Shen Ye's waist:
"Really? I'm interested and want to try this trick of yours..."

While talking.

A powerful wave of destruction emanated from him, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

"You watched the battle just now?"

Shen Ye asked.

"Yes - it looks like an ordinary move, but it cut off the tentacles of its incarnation. I am very curious about the power of this move." Kailong said.

The black flames condensed into a spear emitting black light in his hand.

The battle will begin at any time!
Shen Ye sighed, not moved by the other party's momentum, and just said calmly:

"Once my knife is out, there will be no turning back for you."

"Oh? Are you threatening me?"

"No, this knife is actually like this - even I can't stop it."

"I see."

The spear suddenly disappeared.

The murderous aura on Kairon's body disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Forget it, we are all family, why bother with knives and guns?"

"But I came here because I really have something to talk to you about."

He threw a piece of black crystal to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye caught it.

Before he could ask, Kairon spoke:

"This is the central controller of Black Flame City."

"Because you unexpectedly won the cage battle, the will of the great catastrophe gave it to you as a reward."

"——From now on, you will be the lord of this city."

Shen Ye looked around subconsciously.

In the battle just now, the entire city has been reduced to ruins.

There is not even a living person.

There were not even any weapons, not a single heavy artillery piece was intact.

——Moreover, this place is very close to the world D-0314, and is a city that is often invaded by that world.

But after all——

I have also gained a city.

It’s hard to say the pros and cons at the moment.

and many more.

Shen Ye's heart moved and he said:

"It seems that I can rely on the power of the King's Item to manage my territory. Unless a King-level being defeats me, no one can invade my territory."

"That's right, so this Black Flame City is yours." Kailong said with a smile.

"But I don't want this city - it's too close to the world of monsters. That is to say, if I get here, I must be at the forefront." Shen Ye said.

"What does it matter? Anyway, you are good at swordsmanship and can continue to face the challenges of the king." Kailong said.

Shen Ye was silent for a moment.

——I won, but the body was taken away.

And I must be at the forefront of the battlefield——

Cannon fodder?
"Of course you can also choose other cities." Kailong said.

"Is there such an option?" Shen Ye didn't believe it.

"You can indeed choose another city, but you have to hand over the monster's soul in exchange," Kailong said.

"What is a split soul?" Shen Ye asked.

"The monster injected a strand of soul into its tentacles, forming a soul, and it will fight you as an independent king-level existence—"

"You still have a wisp of its soul in your hands. It is extremely useful!"

Kairon said.

"Do you want this soul?" Shen Ye asked.

"That's right. If you hand over that soul, you can choose other cities. You don't have to stand at the front and face the challenges of the kings of monsters every day." Kailong said.

Shen Ye laughed.

——The abacus makes a really loud noise.

I just won one game and you guys have already counted the spoils clearly.

Am I working for you?
"That soul... I don't know where it went."

Shen Ye smiled, with a hint of playfulness in his expression.

Do you want to break up?

They used me to pay for their lives, and in the end I won.

Now they want to use me to fill the front line again.

He released his divine consciousness and scanned the Dharma image.

In the Dharma

A hospital standing in the dark void.

"what……"

The blond woke up and stretched.

I performed two major operations consecutively for several hours and was really exhausted.

"Hey, your takeaway has arrived."

The delivery guy's voice rang on the phone.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll come downstairs and get it right away." said the blond man.

He collected himself.

I had a very deep sleep just now. I had a dream.

I dreamed that I was the king of monsters on a certain planet, a powerful man who invaded and killed countless worlds.

Countless skills and knowledge are all in your heart.

later.

The species "human" was born.

to be frank.

The birth of species is so frequent that it doesn't really matter.

But humans are a species capable of producing "civilization".

This has a different meaning.

In order to get a piece of the pie, he cut off a wisp of his soul, transformed into a king-level being, and participated in a battle.

and after?
Ding!
The elevator rang.

The blond man came to his senses and couldn't help laughing.

What a messed up dream.

Go to bed early after dinner, because you have a blind date tomorrow.

When he walked out of the elevator, he saw the delivery guy standing on the side of the road outside, typing on his cell phone.

The blond man walked forward and was about to speak when he saw a car speeding towards him, almost unable to stop.

Seeing that the car was about to hit the takeaway boy——

"careful!"

The blond man drew a strange arc with his hands and took several steps in succession.

He grabbed the delivery guy by the collar with one hand and pulled him over.

There was a sudden brake sound.

The car rushed over for seven or eight meters before it braked.

"Thank...thank you!"

The delivery guy was still in shock.

The blond man was lost in thought.

I just used a certain skill involuntarily.

That is the monster knowledge acquired in the dream.

It actually worked?
If the knowledge in the dream is all true, then wouldn't I have obtained all the inheritance of the monsters?
if it is like this--

Your life is destined to become extraordinary!

The blond man said a few perfunctory words to the delivery boy, picked up the takeaway box and left.

He couldn't wait to find a quiet place to verify his guess bit by bit.

……

Outside the Dharma.

All the moves used by the blond man's soul are in Shen Ye's Dharma image.

Shen Ye can observe, learn and verify at the first opportunity.

It's not just his moves.

Even the memories that emerged in his soul could be observed immediately by himself.

Compared to the corpse——

This soul is the real trophy!
Shen Ye's heart was shaken, but he remained calm on the surface.

No wonder the other party wanted a piece of the monster's soul so much!
Just a wisp of soul has reached the level of a king, and can build a force and territory of his own in the myriad worlds.

Such a monster, the knowledge and skills it possesses are such precious wealth!

You want me to hand it over?
"To be honest, after the battle, its soul disappeared. Maybe its body was taken back?"

Shen Ye spoke.

Kailong's eyes wandered, but he continued to speak:

"That monster is not ordinary. If you get a fragment of its soul——"

"It will never give up!"

"Its main body is much stronger than a king-level being. It can easily crush you to death."

"Even I am no match for it."

"—Now do you understand how serious this matter is?"

"Got it," Shen Ye nodded, "I'm not afraid, because its true self must know that its soul is not with me."

Now Chiron was really a little uncertain.

But he maintained a firm tone and continued:

"You should have seen how dangerous Black Flame City is. If you don't hand over its soul, then you will stay here forever."

"Next time, no one will be so kind as to help you destroy the monsters here."

After saying this, Chiron made a gesture to leave.

Shen Ye made a bitter face, sighed, and looked helpless.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Chiron couldn't go on.

He took a moment to do some final thinking.

If it was some other treasure——

I am not willing to take the risk of fighting with someone who has just been promoted to king.

There was something about that knife.

but.

The monster's soul is extremely important.

No one could have imagined in advance that the soul would fail, and after the failure it would be forcibly taken into the opponent's pocket.

No one has ever obtained a fragment of that monster's soul.

Now is the only chance.

——No matter what, you must take it into your own hands!

Think about this.

Kailong flexed his hands, smiled, and said in a gentle and friendly tone:
"Baxter, congratulations on becoming the Lord of Black Flame City. I hope you can guard this place well in the future."

"Before we say goodbye, as the Lord of Destruction, I am willing to give you some pointers."

"Come on, attack me with your strongest move."

"I will let you experience how strong the power of the Lord God is."

Shen Ye understood the other party's plan in an instant.

——He is planning to kill me and steal the monster’s soul!

well.

A murderous intent burst out in Shen Ye's heart.

I have never fought with a master at the god level, so now is a good opportunity to see something for myself!
"Thank you very much, Lord God."

Just as Shen Ye was about to draw his sword, he saw Chillon rush up into the sky with a "swish" and disappear in an instant.

"……what's the situation."

Shen Ye whispered.

"It was some kind of causal law that took him away directly. It is not clear what the intention of the causal law is at the moment." Chatley said.

"That's right, you have avoided him temporarily." said the Ship of Destruction.

"But what should we do next? Do we really have to guard this place?" Su Su asked worriedly.

"If you want to guard it, I can open a breakfast shop here and help you monitor all the enemy's movements." Uncle Qi said.

After listening to this, Shen Ye looked up at the sky in a daze for a while.

"Do not."

He said, "We don't guard this place."

"You don't plan to stay in the Destruction Camp?" Chatley asked sharply.

"That monster's real body will definitely come to trouble me, and the Destruction Camp is watching closely from behind—"

“Why should I stay in such an environment?”

Shen Ye said.

He looked at the lines of dim words that appeared before his eyes:

"The Destruction Camp has confirmed your garrison location as:"

"Black Flame City."

"Do you want to use your King-level term '??????' to gain recognition from all the worlds and designate this city as your sphere of influence?"

Shen Ye shook his head slightly.

The body was taken away.

I also want the soul fragment.

I also want to use my own king entry.

——Boring.

Shen Ye opened his hand and pressed it into the void:

"Door!"

A door suddenly appeared.

This is the void occupied by the catastrophe of destruction, very close to the world of eternity and truth.

And there is no force limiting oneself.

and so--

A spiritual door quietly appeared in front of him.

Shen Ye opened the door, took a step forward, and appeared on a hillside outside a city.

"Do you want to choose Earth?"

Su Su asked.

"——The Earth is good. There is a catastrophe of destruction outside. If the monster's real body does not kill the catastrophe of destruction, it will not be able to come in and cause trouble for you." The Ship of Destruction said excitedly.

"No." Shen Ye said briefly.

Chatelet took a quick look and said with emotion:

"So this is the place. This place is extremely suitable."

“Yes, this is where the dream begins.”

Shen Ye responded.

With a thought, he chose the current world as his own royal territory.

From this moment on -

I broke away from destruction.

Not only that.

In the myriad worlds, all beings that pay attention to the development of events will know that they have established their own territory.

This is what must be done.

But I don't regret it.
