The main body is SSS-level, and the mirror image is also SSS-level.

Chapter 174 A New Nightmare is Born

The world behind the door.

Above the purple moon.

The tiny blood-red shadow walked toward the vast, boundless corpse.

The patterns underfoot resembled cracks in a dried-up riverbed, each one so deep that the bottom was invisible.

The wind stopped.

Even the smell of decay is gradually fading.

He walked for a long time.

So long that the bloodstains on his body dried completely.

at last.

Bo Jin stopped at the center of the giant corpse's brow.

A crack lay there.

Eerie starlight and purple light shone through.

next moment.

Without further hesitation, he went inside.

……

The world before my eyes suddenly opened up.

Endless stars hang in all directions.

It's not the stars in the sky, it's the world.

Each point of light is an independent world; some are bright, some are dim, and some are fading away.

Bo Jin stood in the very center of this sea of stars, with nothing beneath his feet, and needing nothing at all.

His consciousness extended out like thin threads, connecting with those points of light.

The moment I touched it, countless images flooded my mind.

There are battlefields where battles are raging, peaceful villages, and gods atop towers who look down upon all living beings.

He can see it.

You can hear it too.

His voice could even enter the minds of anyone in those worlds.

"Is this the perspective of the [End]?"

Bo Jin looked down at his hands.

Those hands were still trembling slightly.

The lingering pain in my body has not completely subsided.

but.

None of this matters anymore.

at this time.

The voice of "Nightmare" echoed in my ears.

Still mild, but incredibly weak.

"Thin embers".

"From now on, you will no longer be a mirror image that can only exist for ten hours a day, but rather the [End] of the [Nightmare], which will exist almost eternally throughout the long, endless years of solitude."

"Although you are not yet in a position to wield power, however..."

"You need to start accepting this identity now."

Bo Jin nodded gently: "Understood."

"Regarding how to expedite the conquest of power and how to use power."

"And how to save your original self."

"I have already implanted the method into your memory."

"at last."

The Nightmare's voice grew weaker and weaker, as its remaining power was completely handed over to Thin Ember.

now.

It could no longer be sustained.

In this lonely sea of stars.

It seems that only the final soft laugh of [Nightmare] remains.

"I have nothing more to say."

"Bo Jin, remember to avenge me."

"At this moment, I truly feel the approach of death."

"Hehehe, this feeling is really quite wonderful."

"but."

"I really..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

No one knows what Nightmare wanted to say in the end.

but.

At this moment, He was truly dead.

Not only did the physical body perish.

And everything about Him vanished completely.

This is the end.

The end of the old nightmare.

death.

The new Nightmare: The End.

Birth.

……

From now on.

The message and sound of the Nightmare will never appear again.

Bo Jin stood in the center of the starry sea and closed his eyes.

It's very quiet.

It was so quiet it was suffocating.

Although Nightmare initially had ill intentions towards him.

but.

In the end, it still helped him a lot.

Whether in the past or now.

Although he no longer has the authority to wield the [End], he is still infused with the remaining power of the [Nightmare].

His cultivation level directly reached the peak of the ninth rank [Throne], and his emotional value reached 100.

Moreover, he does not meet the requirements for advancement.

As long as one slowly gains control of all the Nightmare's powers over the long course of time.

Then his realm will naturally rise gradually.

Bo Jin slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

[Nightmare] After death.

No one spoke to him. No one gave him directions.

From now on, no voice will ever again pop words into his mind to shield him from disaster and answer his questions.

He only has himself.

And this empty shell of the [End] authority.

"so."

Bo Jin opened his eyes again.

There was no extra emotion in those dark eyes.

"Let's begin."

He began to recall.

Recall the tone, rhythm, and word choice of Nightmare when she spoke.

That gentle tone with a touch of nonchalance.

That occasional detachment and playfulness, like teasing ants.

as well as.

That calm and composed attitude in the face of all "ends".

Bo Jin took a deep breath.

next moment.

His consciousness traversed the sea of stars and descended upon the world of [God's Drowning].

……

Higher-dimensional space.

The battle between pain and pleasure has reached a fever pitch.

The clash of the powers of the two supreme beings completely crushed the surrounding void into dust.

A dark red divine light swept across thousands of miles, while pink smoke and mist devoured everything.

A small part of the consciousness of [Pain] looked towards the world of [God's Obsession].

He saw the divine sons and daughters who came from the world of the seven emotions.

He saw those divine artifacts crashing down on Thin Ash's body.

And that damned Nightmare only managed to hold it off temporarily with its last bit of power.

After stopping them.

Then nothing happened.

"nightmare!!"

The roar of "Pain" shook everything in the higher dimensions.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"If you don't intervene, Bo Jin will die!"

"Isn't he someone you value?!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

[Happy] Laughing so hard I almost fell over.

"If you're in pain, then scream."

"I think Nightmare just doesn't want to talk to you today."

"You're getting impatient! You're getting impatient! You're getting impatient!"

"If you're not in a hurry, my men won't wait for you."

[Pain] Clenching your teeth.

His will swept wildly across higher dimensions, trying to find the aura of the Nightmare.

But there was nothing there.

empty.

That usually lazy and unhurried person seemed to have completely evaporated from the world at this moment.

What on earth is going on?!

"nightmare--!"

[Pain] The third roar.

"Go ahead and do it!"

……

In the sea of stars.

Bo Jin heard the sound of pain.

Every word was crystal clear.

He stood there, clenching his fist.

The knuckles made a slight cracking sound.

The main body is being surrounded and killed.

He had no time to hesitate.

Bo Jin closed his eyes and directed his consciousness toward the higher-dimensional battlefield where [Pain] resided.

he knows.

From this moment on, every word he utters, every tone of his voice, must be like a nightmare.

There can be no flaws whatsoever.

Because what lies opposite is the true "End".

Those supreme beings that have existed for countless millennia.

Their understanding of nightmares far surpasses that of the ashes.

One of the reactions was incorrect.

He was completely exposed.

The result of exposure is death.

The authority of [Nightmare] will then be completely severed.

and so.

Bo Jin went through it one last time in his mind.

The way Nightmare speaks.

No rush. Never rush.

Even if the sky were to fall, He would remain calm and composed.

Speaks slowly. Uses concise vocabulary. Occasionally contains a touch of sarcasm.

Occasionally, I'll act a little crazy.

Never explains their actions. Never gives any face to other [End].

But they never truly fall out.

Maintaining that delicate balance of "I can't be bothered with you, but don't mess with me either".

Bo Jin opened his eyes.

His will was projected into that shattered higher-dimensional space.

It has no physical form.

Only a pair of pitch-black eyes, obscuring the sky and the sun, slowly opened in the void.

It's exactly the same as the previous Nightmare.

……

The roar of pain still echoes.

[Happiness] is seizing the opportunity to pursue.

Just then.

Those dark eyes appeared.

[Pain] was seen first.

His movements paused.

"nightmare!"

"You finally fucking showed up!"

"Hurry and act! Bo Jin is dying! Those divine children—"

"Don't rush."

A gentle voice came from those dark eyes.

Not too fast, not too slow.

It even carried a hint of indifference and relaxation.

Bo Jin suppressed his wildly beating heartbeat, but his voice was as calm as a stagnant pool.

"I have my own way of breaking this deadlock."

After uttering those five words, those eyes fell silent.

It simply hangs silently in the void.

……

Upon hearing this...

[Pain] Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

But seeing the Nightmare still watching from the sidelines, He was still furious.

"You think there's a way to break the deadlock just because you say so?!"

"Then do it!"

His dark eyes did not respond.

[Pain] I was so angry that I almost bit my teeth to pieces.

That bastard!

It's as infuriating as ever!

But at least.

He appeared.

Since it has appeared, it means that Bo Jin will not die for the time being.

[Pain] can only temporarily suppress anger, allowing you to refocus all your energy on the battle against [Joy].

Let's beat this disgustingly laughing thing down first!

……

the other side.

[Happy] Looking into those dark eyes, her laughter subsided slightly.

"Oh?"

"Finally, they've decided to show their faces."

"I thought you were going to be a coward today."

His dark eyes calmly gazed at [Happiness].

There was no response.

Just watch.

Silence, action, and expression.

[Happy] chuckled.

"Nightmare, you're faking it again."

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you."

"Let me have some fun with this pain first."

……

at the same time.

Above the purple moon.

Bo Jin recalled the solution to the predicament given to him by his predecessor, Nightmare.

Immediately.

It has officially begun implementation.

Although he is currently only at the peak of the ninth rank, he cannot personally take action like [Pain] and [Joy].

but.

By this time, he had already gained some peripheral power.

For example, allowing one's consciousness to descend into various worlds.

For example, they might disguise themselves as a real "Nightmare" to deliver messages or even issue upgrade quests.

For example, stimulating certain forbidden substances.

next moment.

The mirror image took a deep breath.

He divided his consciousness into several parts, which then descended into the world of "God's Nightmare" where the "Sword of Nightmare Judgment" dragon resided.

The Seven Paths World where Shen Xuanyun resides.

And within the mind of the original, Bo Jin.

……

But before the Nightmare completely disappears.

He also told the original body, Bo Jin, all the information.

at this time.

Bo Jin was still reeling from the shock of Nightmare's death and the fact that its mirror image had become the new Nightmare.

next moment.

The old Nightmare is completely dead.

And His remaining power naturally began to slowly disappear.

The eight divine sons and daughters wielding divine artifacts, along with Qin Ming who was about to ascend to the ninth rank, gradually broke free from control.

They all unleashed astonishing power.

They charged towards Bo Jin, ready to kill him!

And at that very moment.

The following information appeared in Bo Jin's mind.

Don't rush.

I'll break the deadlock.

You won't die.

The familiar phrase "nightmare".

But Nightmare is already dead.

After a slight moment of distraction, Bo Jin quickly regained his senses.

"...Is that you?"

【Yes. 】
