Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 340 What the Aurora Brings...

A black mountain range, its color vastly different from the dark brown seen before, became increasingly black the higher the peaks rose, eventually leading to an even deeper, more intense darkness, while an eerie sense of distortion intensified with each step.

On the mountain peaks, many earthquake survivors reside, but these earthen monsters are all imprisoned in this distortion. Their forms constantly move back and forth, flickering between the peaks, making it difficult to observe a complete and coherent movement.

Sometimes the rock on its body is so weathered that it feels like it's about to fall apart; other times it's hard, sharp, and full of color.

Luo Ye took out a pocket watch: "Brother, I don't usually need you, but today is your day to shine. Don't mess up."

He then began to debug the table.

A moment later, a sense of distortion similar to that of the chaotic space-time before him also emerged around Luo Ye, enveloping Zheng Fan as well.

Zheng Fan experienced this disorienting feeling, finding it somewhat novel.

"Don't move around recklessly. Although you're very capable, if you get caught up in this, we don't know when you'll be able to get back. Don't slow down our plans." Luo Ye reminded Zheng Fan in time when he saw him about to do something reckless.

Zheng Fan casually withdrew his finger and flicked it: "I'm just taking a look."

"let's go."

As soon as Luo Ye finished speaking, the entire world suddenly shook violently. Before they could react to what was happening, a dazzling aurora appeared on the horizon.

"That is……"

"They've started over there too. In such a short time, they've already perfected and put into practice the troublesome model of the 'Big Nose' that they've tampered with. They really have some skills," Luo Ye said.

Every ripple and color change in the aurora symbolizes a multiverse drawn in.

Zheng Fan and Luo Ye looked away, but Luo Ye couldn't help but ask, seeing the smile on Zheng Fan's face, "What exactly are you planning to do in Jiangwen Street?"

"It's nothing, everyone's just trying to save Dadu." Zheng Fan simply shrugged, his answer ambiguous.

Luo Ye looked suspicious. Even if he didn't want to, he was indeed indirectly saving Dadu, but even if Zheng Fan wanted to take advantage of Dadu, he wouldn't let Dadu live a comfortable life.

"Alright, they've all started, so let's hurry up and go in too," Zheng urged.

Luo Ye didn't think about it any further.

Anyway, it's none of her business if most of them explode.

The two stepped into that chaotic spacetime together, and soon their movements became disjointed, as if the frame rate had suddenly dropped, but that was all. They neither flashed around erratically out of control, nor were they directly affected by the chaotic time.

It's just that it looks like there's some frame drop.

This state lasted for a moment, and Zheng Fan and Luo Ye disappeared into the mountains.

……

On the streets of Jiangwen, Doris stood atop the Tower of Insight, gazing at the colossal flesh-and-blood beast in the distance, holding the switch for the poison missile handed to her by Bedok.

Mr. Music said something good would happen later. What kind of good thing would it be?

The bureau's personnel and the flesh-and-blood behemoth were locked in a stalemate.

The flesh and blood behemoth was being entangled by the processing bureau, but the bureau was also unable to cause any substantial damage to it; the damage they inflicted on its flesh and blood was so severe that it was difficult to even leave a mark.

Furthermore, other flesh-and-blood beings constantly appear around, harassing you. If you're not careful, you might encounter a powerful one and perish due to a careless mistake.

"Chief, we're running out of ammunition and supplies!" the adjutant shouted to Zhang Xue.

Zhang Xue wielded the hammer with sweeping, powerful strokes, each strike capable of wielding a thousand soldiers. She moved freely among the flesh and blood, each movement sending them flying into the air and turning them into a bloody pulp, making it difficult for them to reform and reassemble.

But upon hearing her subordinate's report, she paused and ordered, "Switch to defensive formation and retreat first."

The next batch of reinforcements won't arrive.

Most countries will not provide unlimited funding for them to deal with the Longevity Society in the current period. Their combat supplies are running out. Flesh and blood people seem to be emerging endlessly from the surrounding streets. The footsteps of the flesh and blood behemoths are unstoppable. All the ammunition wasted on them has no effect.

Oh, the unlucky infinite square!

Zhang Xue wasn't physically tired, nor was she injured; she was just mentally exhausted.

The laziness you indulge in on ordinary days will have to be paid back at times like this.

The flesh-and-blood behemoth emitted a loud buzzing sound.

The old ancestor looked down at the fragile street beneath his feet, and the processing bureau, which was as insidious as a buzzing mosquito, didn't even deserve his attention except for the chief.

With the streets now blocked off, most of the heavy armed forces and more powerful weapons in the city cannot spare much space to enter the streets of Xinjiang to target it.

In the chaotic world of fame and fortune on Jiangwen Street, it has a deep understanding of the internal problems of Dadu.

It is precisely because of this internal entanglement of fame and fortune that it has been able to seize every opportunity to grow stronger until it reached this point.

The problem now is... health.

It lacks a physical body to match its current achievements and monetize its growth. Its subordinates initially claimed to have a successful product, but upon its return, it stammered that it was gone again.

It's utterly meaningless!

Now, the only option is to pile countless baits onto this earthquake dweller, attempting to seize its body as a temporary vessel. Since a suitable body cannot be found in the short term, it can only hope to spread its bait throughout the earthquake-stricken world and utilize its backup plans set up in the illusionary realm, trying to see if it can take over.

If possible, then the body wouldn't be necessary. However, this is a high-stakes gamble. That guy Yagui can definitely guess my plans, and the master of that illusionary realm is no ordinary person either.

Just as Agui had predicted, the illusionary realm was now being pushed away by the Lamplighter. But they didn't know that the illusionary realm itself was a cocoon that Agui had prepared for that illusion.

He was just waiting for the illusion he wanted to emerge from its cocoon and become a butterfly.

Once that illusion is born, it doesn't matter where the illusion world is pushed to. He will return to Dadu with that illusion and destroy everything he sees to vent his pent-up emotions.

In order to fight against that thing, the Ancestor also needs to use the Illusionary Realm, so he must constantly accumulate more power.

The essence of illusion is to turn reality into nourishment!
Buzz—!
With a loud hum, it harvested another wave of power. Four bone blades opened on the back of the flesh and blood behemoth, and with a casual swing, all of its enormous life force was transformed into pure output.

Bang!
earthquake!

Using the bodies of earthquake victims and propelled by their life force, the powerful earthquake spread rapidly outwards from its four giant bone knives.

The already dilapidated buildings collapsed completely, and were further shattered into pieces by the subsequent powerful shockwave. Very few of the remaining high-rise buildings were still standing, and Jiangwen Street had collapsed.

This wave of attacks also resulted in heavy casualties at the nearest processing station, with chaos and disarray ensuing.

Gazing upon such immense power, an overwhelming sense of despair welled up within me.

Above the "gun" lies the symbol of man-made violent institutions—the army. It possesses pure violence sufficient to sweep away an alien world, transcending world logic and imagery; it represents the pinnacle of pure violence.

Many flesh-and-blood figures beneath their feet were also crushed and pulverized by the earthquake. Fragments of flesh and blood were scattered across the earth, then rapidly wriggled and expanded, capturing the life force that the ancestor had dispersed around them—the blood mist—and began to grow anew.

Even more divisions have occurred.

An endless stream of enemies, a massive enemy "mother hive," and overwhelming power.

We can't win... How can we possibly win?

……

The aurora borealis appeared.

The dazzling aurora dispelled the gloom in the sky, pierced through the blood mist, and emitted an eerie glow.

The entire Jiangwen Street was filled with the sight of these overlapping aurora borealis lights. Even those in dire straits were inexplicably drawn to them.

The mist suddenly spread, and several mist dwellers appeared abruptly on the street, instantly slicing the surrounding flesh and blood into pieces. Localized rainfall occurred, and many fluid life-bearing water world dwellers rushed in.

A crimson light, even denser than a blood mist, swept across the scene, and the violent residents appeared, looking disgruntled, unsure of where they were. But seeing so much blood and so many flesh-and-blood punching bags, they immediately knew how to vent their anger.

Even worse, some people experience hallucinations. Many people in dire straits experience visual and auditory hallucinations, and having no other choice, they reach out to the invisible spider silk.

There are many more...

Beings from all sorts of strange and different worlds, appearing one after another with the flashing aurora, often don't hesitate to fight with everything around them.

Infinite overlap begins.

……

"Radish, be careful, and remember to take notes for me. That's Dadu over there! If I weren't still a bit weak, and if Mr. Puppet hadn't said it was quite dangerous, I definitely would have gone to check it out. Are you all well and in good health? Don't get too hung up on outdated logic, just use evolution if you can..."

The rabbi was like an old mother about to send her child to boarding school, constantly confirming various questions and unable to settle down.

Seeing Rabbi's uneasy expression, Radish wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say.

"Beep beep..." The puppet said it would only be ten minutes at most, and he would be back soon.

“I know, but even ten minutes is a very, very far distance for you. We’ve never been separated this far in my entire life,” the rabbi argued, gesturing with his hands to represent an infinitely large distance.

Radish was speechless: "Beep beep..."

He simply reached out and patted the rabbi's head.

As colorful light appeared behind him, Radish turned around and waved his hand gracefully.

……

"It'll only be ten minutes at most, is it really necessary?" Jiang Si looked at the army of corpses in front of her and the imposing Immortal King standing quietly beside her, and couldn't help but complain.

"That one desires grandeur, then I will grant him a grand spectacle. This is also a good opportunity, a training exercise. Let me witness the splendor of the capital," the Undying King said in a deep, chiseled voice.

"Ugh, we were supposed to go back, but we can only stay for ten minutes. What's going on?!" Jiang Si held her head in her hands.

Recently, she's been forced to read books by the Undying King here, and her brain is about to explode. As for whether she's learned anything, she definitely feels like she's improved, but as for whether she's in pain, it's definitely excruciating.

She's just a little illiterate girl whose basic education was given by her father; don't expose her to so much philosophical speculation!
I hardly recognize the word "eternity" anymore!
"Ten minutes, free time." The Undying King stared straight ahead, his scarlet eyes devoid of any other impurities, but he still managed to say a few kind words to Jiang Si.

"Where did this break time come from?" Jiang Si complained.

When the colorful light appeared, she put aside her thoughts and couldn't help but smile.

"However, this will definitely be a grand ball."
