Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 489 Fall
The chaotic abyss has collapsed, and the dimensional spirits stored within the Great Abyss have become part of the Titans. The World Tree model that Murrosh replicated from other worlds is crumbling, from the murky abyss at the bottom to the Great Abyss without its dimensional spirits, all are heading towards their own end.

To Mu Xiang's surprise, the Dreamland, which occupied the highest position thanks to the World Tree model, did not collapse as well. When the space of the Great Abyss shattered, the three of them and the Titan Giant simultaneously arrived at the true seabed of the Dreamland from the level of the Great Abyss, and all the seawater poured in their direction.

There were no surging waves on the seabed, but in this almost silent descent, there was an unimaginable pressure.

Just as Zhang Jie was about to raise his hand to release the telekinetic barrier, a large hand rose up first. The next moment, the seawater falling from above was pushed aside by this hand, and a huge bubble appeared in the surging seawater, carrying everyone upwards.

Zheng Zha glanced at the Titan and thought to himself, "Is this the power of the Titan...? Did he also inherit the divine authority of the sea?"

“To call it divine authority would be a gross understatement,” Mu Xiang said. “This is not the divine authority of a plane’s deity… but rather an authority akin to that of the plane itself.”

After speaking, Mu Xiang continued to look upwards, falling silent. Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie relaxed, leaning against the edge of the bubble, almost lighting a cigarette. This bubble was the result of the Titans driving away the seawater; it was created using power rather than energy. Therefore, leaning against it wouldn't cause any energy collisions; only the coolness of the seawater flowed over their bodies, without leaving a single wet spot.

From this perspective, the boundary between the sky and the sea was blurred; they were getting closer to the sky every moment, but it wasn't until the bubbles burst from the sea that Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie seemed to awaken. They had expended too much energy in the previous battle and naturally had no extra attention now.

Standing beside the Titans, even on the sea, is like walking on flat ground.

Just as Zheng Zha was about to say something, he followed Mu Xiang's gaze and looked towards the other side of the sea. Countless Nightmares descended from the sky and fell into the seawater, but before they could sink or float, they vanished as if they had never existed.

This is why only Mu Xiang noticed... These Nightmares vanished completely into the Dream Realm without leaving behind any corpses. Otherwise, Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie would have been able to detect them at least when they were near the sea.

"What's going on?" Zheng Zha was stunned.

Mu Xiang remained silent for a long time: "The Abyss and the Spirit of the Plane have both disappeared, so the Nightmares that have been transformed can naturally no longer maintain their previous forms."

Zheng Zha turned to look at the Titan: "Your consciousness originated from a plane spirit, didn't it? Can you stop it?"

The Titan also watched Zheng Zha in silence, its huge eyes clear, but Zheng Zha did not see any affirmation.

“It’s not the same thing anymore…” Mu Xiang shook his head. “This world has its own special characteristics. Although it’s still unclear why the Dream Realm didn’t collapse, the Titans that were transformed are actually no longer able to control the remaining parts of this world.”

"The Titans are beings that have been transformed from another plane... but they are no longer from the same plane as before."

At this point, Mu Xiang sighed. He looked at the sky filled with Nightmares, each falling silently every moment. He didn't know if this was a kind of liberation... The Nightmares seemed to still possess the consciousness they had when they were human, which was why they could be tamed and build an orderly civilization.

The Gorgons constantly yearn to kill themselves, but each time they slaughter each other, the remaining fragments of their bodies reassemble into new flesh, their individual consciousnesses intertwined, continuing to endure this boundless torment. If this is so for them, perhaps it is the same for the Nightshade.

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie both fell silent.

Zheng Zha clenched his fists tightly. He thought that with the destruction of the abyss, it would all be over... But the truth was, the price of destroying something might not be acceptable to everyone. "They didn't turn back even in death...?"

Mu Xiang suddenly frowned: "No... not all Nightmares have disappeared."

He pointed to a spot in the sky where Nightmares had gathered, silently mourning their fallen kin. They had been obscured by the surrounding dead Nightmares until the nearby Nightmares had all fallen, at which point their anomaly became apparent.

【Why……】

Mu Xiang pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand... those Nightmares that died earlier lost the basis for their existence in this time period. They... must have been transformed from humans pulled from other eras, and were so different that they immediately perished after the destruction of the Abyss."

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie were stunned for a moment, then asked in unison, "So there's a solution?"

"So it seems there is a possibility now." Mu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. "It's really annoying to feel like you can't do anything... but now there's a slight possibility."

"How so? At least they didn't all die," Zheng Zha said, frowning.

"I ask you, why did this part of the Nightmares die after the Abyss was destroyed? Logically speaking, if they had a lifespan after transforming into Nightmares, it should only be calculated from the moment of transformation, right?" Mu Xiang looked at the two of them.

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie recalled the scene they had seen in Mu Xiang's memory, and their lips twitched.

Zhang Jie hesitated for a moment: "But it seems that's not the case now... What do you mean?"

"The conclusion is that the Abyss did not truly transform these humans into a completely different species. For example, the Gorgons, although they lost the ability to speak like the Nightmares, could still combine the languages ​​of various eras and ethnic groups to create a common language, which is something that ordinary monsters cannot do," Mu Xiang said. "Therefore, after the destruction of the Abyss, Nightmares from other eras, or rather humans, could not survive in this era."

"The fundamental reason they crossed over was due to the pull of Ibo Zter, or rather, the pull of the abyss. Now that this pull has completely failed, they have lost the possibility of survival."

Zheng Zha thought for a moment: "So, is this a real death, or a return to one's original era?"

Mu Xiang sighed: "That's something we can't determine right now... We'll have to ask the remaining Nightmares."

"Hmm? How should I ask?"

Mu Xiang looked at Zhang Jie: "Since their consciousness might still be human... I guess that apart from being tamed by Nordens, their mental state is better than that of the Kug Titans. Why don't you try to communicate with them?"

Zhang Jie smiled and said, "I've wanted to do this for a while now. You even said before that we shouldn't alert the enemy..."
