Dream Travel

Chapter 507 Why Aren't You Saving the Good Things?
Lily wasn't too concerned about Serafis's wariness; she favored the White Curtain, not Serafis.

That bit of vigilance didn't affect her at all. She could get what she wanted indirectly through the White Curtain, so Serafis's thoughts were irrelevant.

If the White Curtain operation doesn't go smoothly and she's been called over ahead of schedule, then she'll have to help.

If the operation under the white curtain went smoothly, then there's not much else to do. Bringing her here will save time and allow us to discuss some things.

Bai Mu doesn't like negotiating with demons, so this matter ultimately falls to her.

What Bai Mu dislikes, she actually quite likes: demon technology... it's very interesting.

"Come and take a look at this." Bai Mu took out a rhombus-shaped crystal from the weapon box.

After Lily picked it up and examined it, she said, "It's actually a Dream Erosion item after its sublimation. That's quite rare."

While there are many Dream Erosion items on Bai Mu's body, sublimated Dream Erosion items are rare elsewhere.

The prismatic crystal he took out still smelled of blood, clearly a spoil of war.

"It should have an absorption-type Dream Erosion effect, a perfect match for Dream Erosion items. Do you want it for me?"

"Are you being so polite?" Bai Mu took the rhombus-shaped crystal back.

Since it has an energy-absorbing effect, then that accessory can be used on the weapon case.

The weapon case has demonic writing on it, and those things are attached to the weapon case. They consume Bai Mu's own power, but if there is an external power source, wouldn't he be able to save some power?

Moreover, weapon cases serve as important shields, and their ability to block damage has always been crucial; just think of the shield effect created by Rhaazos's Demon Armor.

It's incredibly effective at absorbing energy; we should keep this.

“It’s fine for you to take it. The more powerful you become, the more you can obtain from the alternate dreams,” Lily said with a smile.

Bai Mu took out the Dream Erosion Camera and showed Lily the recordings on it.

Looking at the Death Demon's records, Lily frowned slightly and suggested to White Curtain, "It's best not to keep this kind of thing."

"After I dealt with those death demons, I set a fire at the scene. I don't know if it's been cleaned up properly."

"Then leave these things to me."

Lily took care of everything that followed. The battle was over, and all that was left was to wrap things up and negotiate.

"Alright." Bai Mu stretched and went back to sleep. Having a reliable spokesperson made for a good experience in every aspect.

The next day, when Bai Mu woke up, he was greeted by a pair of red eyes that exuded aggression.

He couldn't help but ask Leone, "Are you really planning to maintain the effects of the Blood Demon Potion for a long time?"

“No, the effects of the potion won’t disappear immediately even without a fight.” Leone stretched his body.

The potion itself consumes energy to maintain its potion, but the Blood Demon Potion's unique properties make its self-consumption rate too slow.

They fought a fierce battle at the base station, but the Blood Demon Potion was still less than half used up.

After killing those demons and other enemies, the 'vampiric' properties of the Blood Demon Potion replenished the depleted potion's power.

If you don't fight, the effects of this potion will wear off too slowly.

Based on Leone's assessment of yesterday's condition, it would take at least a year for the Blood Demon Potion to deteriorate on its own.

Serafis made this thing so well.

"Does normal physical activity count as exertion?"

“No, it doesn’t count,” Leone said with a smile. “The kind of exercise you’re talking about, no matter how much you do it, the energy expenditure is only so-so. It’s not like it’s a real battle.”

“That makes sense.” Bai Mu prepared to ask Serafis if he had a solution.

He got up, changed his clothes, and prepared to go find Serafis.

In the living room, he also encountered Main, who was looking in the mirror and dyeing her hair with a bottle of hair dye.

"Do you want my help?"

"No need, it'll be ready soon," Mine said, staring at herself in the mirror without turning her head.

The hair dye made by Beatrice will not stain the skin, it will only affect the hair, so it can be used normally by one person.

For her, this product is only needed once, and the hair that grows back will be the normal hair color.

"Then you can continue." Bai Mu went to find Serafis.

This succubus dragon didn't seem to be asleep. After Bai Mu saw her, Serafis first took out an agreement.

"See for yourself." She seemed a little unhappy.

Bai Mu took the agreement and began to read it. It concerned the treatment of the Yara Kingdom. Serafis would not relinquish his rule over the region.

The use of demonic technology will reduce its intensity, which means that the average life expectancy here will be extended to over 75 years.

Further changes would affect the welfare of the people. If they really want to relax the restrictions, then White Curtain should negotiate with the people of the Kingdom of Yara himself.

Of course, you could also change it to 70 years old. If you did that, the white screen side could also get a share of the 'soul's reward'.

Then there's Rhaazos's dangerous demonic technology, particularly the part involving death runes. They'll work together to deal with it—whether to leave it or completely eliminate it—depending on the level of danger it poses.

If there are anything more dangerous, then just destroy it.

This agreement encompasses all the uncontrollable factors. Serafis can reap the rewards of victory, but she doesn't have much power to interfere with the parts that have a significant impact on humanity.

"Is this the result of your negotiations with Lily?"

"Hmph, you wouldn't have talked to me slowly if I hadn't let her come here." Serafis snorted. Every time she tried to talk things out with Lily, she was filled with resentment.

However, Serafis is unsure whether Whitebeard will agree to the agreement.

The reason also lies in the way demonic technology harvests souls.

Honestly, extending the age limit to 75 or older is practically free in this day and age.

Many people won't live to this age, and it would be even better to slow down the soul harvesting process of the demonic technology.

Even if everyone lives to a ripe old age, Serafis wouldn't lose much.

The main feature of Demon Technology's soul harvesting is the maximum number of souls that can be harvested.

As before, the upper limit of the soul is equivalent to the lifespan of the soul, and the lifespan of the soul is much longer than the lifespan of the body.

All that's needed is to harvest the lifespan of the soul to be equal to the lifespan of the body.

But she's a devil, how can she be completely led by the nose? That's why the negotiations have led to the current outcome.

In other respects, Serafis, though reluctant, knew that some things from the dream were difficult to control.

If it can't be controlled, then just clean it up.

The changes that occurred to Laazos's corpse demonstrated the uncontrollability of that Death Mark.

The opponent had not yet dared to use the power of the Death Mark on himself, yet he still underwent mutation after his death.

Laazos himself probably never imagined this would happen, right?

"I have no objection. Where's Lily?" "She's sleeping."

"You two slept together?"

"Hehehe, I'd like to." Serafis licked his lips slightly.

White Curtain's suggestion is good. If Lily really gives her this opportunity, she doesn't mind letting that woman experience the power of a succubus.

"Then we'll sign the contract after she wakes up."

"Hmph, you really take good care of her."

Bai Mu chuckled softly: "Otherwise, why would I take care of you?"

"Then wake her up quickly, we need to deal with other demons."

Lily woke up at noon, and only after Lily confirmed that the contract provided by Serafis was indeed correct did Bai Mu sign the demon contract.

In a normal human society, this would be equivalent to a new cooperation agreement.

However, once signed, it's not a worthless piece of paper.

Then, under Serafis's watchful eye, White Curtain placed the weapon crate on the ground and summoned the phantom of Rajazos.

The summoned Rhaazos looked terrible, not because he was in poor condition, but because he was aware of his predicament.

His soul was absorbed by the White Curtain's weapon box, and the phantom that is now being summoned is made up of the White Curtain's spiritual power.

In other words, he is now essentially a spiritual extension of Bai Mu, possessing a self but with Bai Mu as the dominant force.

Why do you have to do this?

“You never intended to cooperate normally from the beginning.” Laazos stared at Serafis with a dark expression.

"If you want to cooperate, there are other demons to keep you company now."

Laazos's expression twisted into a ferocious rage: "Traitor! You'll end up losing yourself sooner or later!"

Demons scheming against each other is one thing, but Seraphis's cooperation with humans, especially with humans who are sabotaging their plans, drives him to madness.

He would like to have the chance too, but that stinky sign beat him to it.

"Ha, I can obtain the Hellish Realm, while you can only be puppets." Serafis completely ignored Rajazos's curses.

"Alright, now tell us everything you know. We're still very busy."

Laazos looked at the white curtain with a complicated and conflicted expression. He wanted to ask the white curtain what the demon had done to make him so hostile towards the demon.

But he didn't ask the question: What did the demon do? The demon did far too much...

But since Bai Mu has cooperated with the devil, it means that his stance is at least not that firm, right?
No, this guy isn't obsessed. He knows how to use his advantages, making him more difficult to deal with than those humans who are both steadfast and obsessed.

Demons are inflexible in some ways, and their actions are more predictable and calculated, while the White Curtain's actions... Rhaazos can already foresee how many demons will suffer next.

However, he was already dead, and it was no longer his place to sympathize with other demons. Under the influence of the White Curtain's will, Rhaazos began to recount the information he knew.

Regarding Yara's demonic technology, some hidden things, and so on.

Serafis was extremely satisfied with what he heard, but he also knew that the Mark of Death could not be kept.

The Mark of Death will inevitably transform the world into a world of death.

Rhaazos didn't care about that; he even considered using the Mark of Death to become the Lord of Death.

However, due to the incomplete information about the Death Mark, he has never been able to truly master it.

The test subjects also suffered from the backlash of the Mark of Death.

That's why he wanted to use Serafis's Blood Dragon characteristics to see if he could fuse with the Mark of Death in reverse.

"The clone I left in Hell has already gone out of control. If you don't act quickly, don't think you can easily take over that part of the territory."

After recounting the information about his development in the Kingdom of Yara, Rajazos began to talk about the otherworldly realms of Hell.

He has invested a lot of power in the hellish realm. If something happens to his main body, his hellish clone there will definitely go out of control.

"Hehehe, you didn't invest in the Mark of Death and demonic technology over there. By the time you were killed, I had already taken care of your alien territory."

Serafis laughed, while Laazos's face turned ugly.

His Hellish clones weren't that weak; the fact that Serafis could quickly deal with them meant that this woman had invested more power than he had.

“Then I have nothing to say!” Rajazos fell silent.

He felt no sympathy for his killed Hell clone because he was already dead, and there was no need for the Hell clone to live in his place; it was better that it was dead.

White Curtain snapped his fingers, recalling Raiazos, and said to Serafis, "Now that you have the information you want, I have a question for you."

He asked Serafis about the existence of the Blood Demon Potion.

Serafis was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing? Others dream of obtaining the indestructible demon potion, but your people, after getting it, are now concerned about its effects?"

The Blood Demon Potion she provided, which had no side effects, was practically flawless, with almost no side effects and a slow rate of decline in efficacy, only being rapidly depleted during combat.

However, during battle, one can replenish the potion's consumption by absorbing blood and plundering essence.

As long as there is no excessive overlap in usage, it is unlikely to demonize the user.

The Blood Demon Potion achieves such an effect because of the unique characteristics of the Blood Demon Dragon.

Bloodsucking is a skill, and the conversion rate varies when drawing blood from different races. In her world, the conversion rate of bloodsucking from the Demon Blood Dragon is the highest.

The reason is the blood-fusion property of the Demon Blood Dragon.

Blood Demon Potion also possesses this characteristic, allowing it to integrate with the user to the greatest extent possible and maintain its effects for a long time.

Ghost potions do not have this effect.

Moreover, the reason why the Blood Demon potion used by Leone and the others had no side effects was that Serafis removed the conversion part.

It's not about turning users into demons, but about turning them into her 'blood bags'.

The more one becomes addicted to the effects of the Blood Demon Potion, the more likely one is to pursue killing. The more one kills, the more one accumulates, and the deeper the transformation becomes.

When she needed something, she could simply beckon someone who had used the Blood Demon Potion to become her blood bank.

"I care about the Demon Hunter squad."

"Demon hunters? Heh heh heh, they're all secretly using demonic power themselves." Serafis sneered.

Knowing that Bai Mu was just making excuses, she thought for a moment and said, "I'm still receiving demonic technology. You can have your woman wait for a while. I have a new inspiration."

"You plan to use them as test subjects?" Bai Mu started thinking about how to get Serafis into the box again.

"Experimental subjects? Do you think there are few people who crave power?" Serafis glanced at the white curtain.

With so many people seeking power, finding test subjects would be incredibly easy for her.

I have more experience with experiments involving practical applications.
