Chapter 464

As soon as Pu entered the atmosphere of Watt Alheim, Erin, aboard the Furnace, sensed something amiss.

As the Forge broke through the atmosphere and entered the dwarven kingdom of Nidavellir, this strange feeling was amplified once again.

Standing by the window of the Forge, Erin looked down at the land below for a long time, then frowned.

Quiet.

It's too quiet.

Although the dwarven kingdom should be troubled by the corruption of the evil god at this time, the dwarven king who went to Asgard returned.

Regardless, the dwarves will send someone to greet them.

But now.

Nidavell, however, was eerily quiet.

Schools, streets, and shopping malls that should have been bustling with people were now deserted, and the huge Nidavellis was surprisingly empty.

Creepy.

Not just Erin.

King Etri and the dwarves on the Forge gradually noticed the strange atmosphere in Nidavellir.

"king······"

A slightly younger dwarf looked down at the desolate street below the airship, his eyes filled with fear.

What he feared was not the eerie silence, but the message it conveyed.

Because his home is located on a street in the area.

"Don't be afraid, child, everything will be alright."

With a hand larger than the young dwarf's head, he gently patted the young dwarf's head, and the dwarf king Eitrich's expression was equally solemn.

In no time at all.

The Furnace airship then passed a thick city wall several meters high and entered the inner city of the dwarf kingdom of Nidavellir.

Entering the inner city of Nidavellir, which was almost deserted, one could finally find a bit more human presence compared to the outer city.

Upon seeing the ant-like figures on the ground, the dwarves on the spaceship finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

It's not the worst-case scenario.

While the ordinary dwarves breathed a sigh of relief, the dwarf king's expression turned rather grim.

"Speed ​​up and get to Lieyang Square as soon as possible."

"Also, contact Chongyan. I need to know as soon as possible what happened in Nidavellir while I was away..."

After issuing several orders in succession.

The Furnace, which had been gradually slowing down, suddenly accelerated.

·······

A dozen minutes later.

The Furnace passed through a series of steel fortresses and landed on a huge, silver-white plaza made entirely of steel.

The Furnace had just landed.

A slender female dwarf with a braided hairstyle led a group of heavily armored dwarves to greet them.

Upon seeing the female dwarf, the dwarf king, who had just stepped out of the Forge, frowned and asked, "White Rock, is that you? Where's Heavy Rock?"

Compared to the male dwarves around him, Bai Yan, whose body still faintly showed some feminine features, said with a haggard face, "My brother... they were corrupted."

Upon hearing the word "contamination," the dwarf king's expression changed drastically, and he asked with a trembling heart, "What happened? When I left, the contamination of that Eye of the Evil God had already been suppressed by the Sun Forge, so why were Chongyan and the others still contaminated, and even Nidavellir has become like this?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of hatred flashed in Bai Yan's eyes, and she said coldly, "It's all because of that traitor Nu Feng."

"Raging Wind?"

Upon hearing that familiar name, the Dwarf King frowned and asked, "Wasn't he dead? What happened?"

Under the dwarf king's questioning, Bai Yan gritted his teeth and said:

"Dead? That traitor is not dead at all. In fact, the sealing box that contained the Eye of the Evil God was specially excavated from a ruin and brought back to Nidavell."

"And the pollution of Falling Wind City back then was not an accident at all, but a carefully planned scheme. That guy had long since fallen into the worship of an evil god in order to resurrect his wife."

"However, he underestimated the aura of death emanating from the Eye of the Evil God. After opening the sealed box, he was forced to feign death once by the aura inside the sealed box."

"After you left, while my brother and the other dwarven elders took turns guarding the Eye of the Evil God, which was suppressed by the Flaming Furnace, he led the people of Falling Wind City who had been corrupted by the Eye of the Evil God to attack the capital, intending to reclaim the Eye of the Evil God, which was suppressed by the Flaming Furnace."

"Although we easily repelled the raging wind's attack thanks to the royal city's defensive weapons, we also fell into his trap, allowing the evil god's corruption to spread..."

"After those clansmen corrupted by the Eye of the Evil God died outside the royal city, their corpses, which had been corrupted by the Eye of the Evil God, became a huge source of pollution."

"Now, once our people fall asleep, they are dragged into a nightmare by countless corpses, and then forever trapped in that nightmare. If it weren't for Elder Nimi's strong mental power, who discovered the cause the moment he fell asleep and found a way to escape that dream, we probably still wouldn't be able to figure out why our people are in a coma."

"The contamination from that evil god's eye seems to be contagious through dreams. Currently, at least four-fifths of the hundreds of thousands of dwarves in the entire capital have been sucked into that bizarre dream and have fallen into a coma."

Upon hearing this, the Dwarf King interrupted, "Hundreds of thousands of people were sucked into the dream. Are you sure they're not dead?"

"I checked them. They're not dead, they've just passed out. Of course, if they had stayed like this for a few more days, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the strain and would have truly died in their dream."

As more and more people are dragged into the dream, the strange dream expands at an increasingly rapid pace.

If the Dwarf King had returned any later.

It seems the entire dwarf kingdom is truly doomed.

"The power of dreams".

Upon hearing this, the Dwarf King instantly turned to look at Arlin, his tone tinged with hope, and said, "Lord Arlin, you were able to awaken my slumbering people from the Eye of Dreams, so now, can you help me awaken the people of Nidavellir?"

"Of course, if Lord Erin can help awaken my slumbering people, after things are settled here, I will personally lead my people to Earth to build that war fortress for you, and we dwarves will bear the costs of the modifications ourselves."

Ok?

The dwarf king had barely finished speaking.

The dwarves, clad in heavy armor, brought by Baiyan all stared in astonishment at the fair-skinned human behind the dwarf king.

The eyes peeking out from the gaps in the armor were filled with suspicion.

It seemed strange that the excessively young human next to the Dwarf King could really awaken his slumbering people.

Compared to the heavily armored dwarves brought by Baiyan, the dwarves on the Forge who had witnessed Erin's abilities firsthand, especially those rescued from his dream by Erin, were much more excited at this moment.

"It's good that they're still alive. I was almost scared to death when we passed over the capital just now. I thought something had happened to them. If they've just been corrupted by the power of dreams and fallen into a deep sleep, I believe Master Erin can definitely wake them up."

"That's right. If Master Erin can wake us from our dreams, he can certainly wake others as well."

"Don't be too happy yet. How many people are on the Forge, and how many are on Nidavellir? I believe Master Erin has the ability to save our people from the dream, but Master Erin is only one person. With so many unconscious people, can Master Erin save them all? Or... will those people even be able to receive Master Erin's treatment?"

······

Amidst the discussions...

The way Baiyan and the other dwarves in the square looked at Erin changed rapidly.

What started as surprise and doubt gradually turned into delight.

However, their eyes soon dimmed considerably.

Yes.

Erin was all alone.

Even if he really has the ability to bring people out of the dream, with so many people, can he really save them in time?

Even the eyes of the dwarf king Etri were dimmed by the loud voices of the discussion.

Erin ignored the incessant chatter of the crowd in the square.

At this moment, he...

My attention was focused on the task that had suddenly appeared on my panel.

【Ding! 】

[A timeline has been detected forming. The dwarven kingdom of Nidavellir is at a critical juncture in its destiny. Will you help the kingdom change its fate and create a new timeline, or will you help Nidavellir return to its original trajectory? Please note: Every decision you make will have profound consequences. Please choose carefully.]

[Note: Regardless of whether things go smoothly or not, you will capture a large number of destiny points from the river of fate.]

"A choice of fate? This time, instead of directly asking me to help Nidavell return to his predetermined destiny, I'm being asked to make a choice?"

"As my strength increases, do my options also expand?"

After saying this to himself, Erin decided to help Nidavell return to his original destiny.

After all, compared to the unknown future.

Knowing the future, where the plot is unfolding, is obviously much safer for Erin.

After making his decision, just as Erin was about to speak, he saw streams of pure death energy surging towards him from all directions.

"Huh? Is this a dead person?"

After a moment's thought, Erin didn't immediately answer the Dwarf King. Instead, he turned to the female dwarf named White Rock and asked, "According to you, you easily repelled Falling Wind and those corrupted dwarves. If that's the case, how was your brother corrupted?"

After a moment of silence, Bai Yan said, "Although we thwarted the attack of those corrupted dwarves, we also fell into his trap."

"This caused more ordinary people to be corrupted by the Eye of the Evil God, while the Angry Wind, hidden among the crowd, took advantage of the chaos to sneak up to the Fiery Furnace and then ambushed and injured a dwarf elder who was guarding the Fiery Furnace."

"In the counterattack of my brother and two other dwarven elders, as well as a group of castle guards, although Fury was killed on the spot, his body was thrown into the Fiery Furnace and burned to ashes."

"But it also seems to have triggered a riot by the Eye of the Evil God, causing my brother and the other two dwarf elders to have their spirituality corrupted by the Eye of the Evil God."

Erin: "I see."

After clearing up his doubts, Erin said to Baiyan, "Take me to see your brother and the other dwarves who are in a deep sleep. Otherwise, I can't be sure if I can wake them up until I see the specific situation."

Upon hearing this, the Dwarf King's eyes lit up immediately. Realizing that Erin was about to loosen his grip, he quickly called out to Bai Yan, "Take Master Erin to see your brother, and the other corrupted dwarves."

·······

Led by Bai Yan, Ai Lin and the others soon entered a crowded hospital and arrived at a clean white ward, where they pushed open the door.

There was a creaking sound.

The unlocked ward door was easily pushed open.

The ward was packed with three people: Bai Yan's older brother, Chong Yan, and two other dwarf elders.

They were all asleep, but their eyelids kept twitching and their hands and feet trembled from time to time, as if they were having a nightmare.

Two of them were alright; they didn't struggle very violently.

But the dwarf elder closest to the corridor was struggling violently in his dream, and before Erin could get close, blood began to flow from his seven orifices.

"Elder Copper Hammer..."

Upon seeing this, Bai Yan's expression changed, and she immediately rushed forward. However, just as she approached the elder named Copper Hammer, he stopped struggling and then completely lost his breath.

Followed by.

Erin then collected a large mass of pure death energy.

"So, death has already begun."

Just like the special dream that the Eye of Dream pulled into before, this special dream that erupted due to the corruption of the evil god, and the deep dream it connects to, obviously also pose a considerable threat.

At the moment Elder Copper Hammer died completely.

A unique dream force suddenly swept out in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, Erin suddenly felt a chill.

It seemed as if something was watching him.

With a single sweep of his exceptional spiritual power, Erin sensed that he had been tainted by the 'curse' here!

As soon as I fall asleep, a dream force descends and drags me into the deep sea of ​​dreams.

Oh.

This is forcing me to make a choice!

On the other side...

After witnessing the death of a dwarf elder, Bai Yan's face turned extremely grim: "Elder Copper Hammer is dead! What happened? Why did Elder Copper Hammer die?"

Upon hearing this, Erin said quietly, "Dreams have never been a synonym for absolute safety, let alone these special dreams caused by the corruption of evil gods. No one knows what kind of dangers exist in such dreams."

"If I'm not mistaken, not only here, but among the other dwarves, some should have started dying as well."

"So, whether it's to prevent the dream from spreading or to save people, we must hurry."

Bai Yan, whose mind was far more refined than that of the male dwarves, immediately perked up upon hearing this and asked, "Is Master Erin planning to make a move?"

Erin nodded upon hearing this.

"I don't know if it will work, but I can try to help awaken some people."
