Chapter 265 Nightmare

As the entrance to the space continued to grow larger, the speed at which the Thousand Hands dug the soil here also increased. A lot of snow was brought in, gradually forming a snowfield in a corner of the space. The river flowing through there slowly froze, and as time went by, low ice peaks appeared on the snowfield.

Didn't notice this

Senju continued digging until he collapsed a small hill before stopping. The collapsed mountain peak was covered with snowflakes and rubble, which flew everywhere. Senju quickly blocked the entrance in front of him and escaped disaster.

However, after stopping, Senju looked behind him and found that there were many water pits behind him, as if he had dug too deep and even groundwater was gushing out.

Seeing this scene, Senju scratched his head helplessly. Looking at the huge crack on one side, he suddenly had a new idea. The monster on Island 15 didn't look that big. What would happen if he put it in the space? Maybe he could tame it.

As she pondered this, Senju carefully walked around the pits and eventually returned to the floating island through the portal.

When he returned, he looked around and found William sitting dejectedly to one side, without a single little girl by his side. This made him very curious, and his previous thoughts vanished.

"What's wrong? Where are the children?" Senju leaned closer and asked William. William looked up and perked up. "Ah, it's Senju. Yuri is playing a movie over there with a black box, and the little ones all ran over to watch."

“I see,” Senju said with delight. Those children had been watching lizard movies all along, so seeing normal films now should help them rebuild their values, right?

"By the way, William, why aren't you going to see it?" Thousand Hands asked curiously. "This time it's a movie with humans as the main characters."

“Well, I’m not in the mood for that right now,” William said, his face showing some shock, then he breathed a sigh of relief. “Actually, I had a dream while I was lying here just now, but it’s so good that the scene was just a dream.”

"What was it like? Did you have some kind of 'premonition'?" Senju asked curiously from the side. It was just a dream, how could it make such a powerful warrior lose his composure? Even when Chtholly and the others were on the battlefield, he wasn't this scared.

“That was a nightmare,” William said, his face still looking a little pale, but he had calmed down and began to recount the dream he had just had.

It was a gloomy, rainy night. William was repairing the leaky roof and was wondering why he didn't have a hammer when he realized that the children who had been calling out to him hadn't come at all.

He searched everywhere, only to find the facility completely empty. Not only were the fairies gone, but even Senju and the others were nowhere to be found; he was the only one left.

He ran through the entire forest and wetlands, and went to the city to ask people about the whereabouts of the fairies, but everyone answered that they didn't know.

As he pondered, Nigolan appeared behind him. He turned around and saw the tall cannibal smiling forlornly. "Accept reality. Those children are all dead."

"what?"

“Those children no longer exist in this world,” Nigolan said calmly, then seemed to see the twisted look in William’s eyes. “Have you forgotten? It was you who sent them to war.”

“How is this possible…” William was thrown into confusion in his dream.

“You’d better get used to it sooner rather than later. In this world, things like this happen all the time,” Nigolan said in a gentle voice, as if she were coaxing a disobedient child.

Meanwhile, four familiar figures appeared out of nowhere. The usually noisy and innocent children were now standing quietly together.

They stared at William expressionlessly, clutching their swords. "We're leaving!"

William then woke up.

“That’s the kind of dream I had,” William said with a wry smile. “But thankfully it was just a dream.”

“Yes, it’s wonderful that it was a dream,” Senju nodded, then thought of a legend, “But now that you mention it, I do remember a legend about dreams.”

"What legend?" William asked curiously, wanting to hear what Thousand Hands had to say about the dream.

“I’ve heard that people with powerful magic or strength can have a kind of dream called ‘precognitive dream’, in which they can see visions of the future,” Thousand Hands said, and then he saw William’s face suddenly turn pale.

Senju quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Well, since we know the future, we can change it. Besides, 'precognitive dreams' are just my guess, and there's a legend that dreams are always the opposite of reality..."

“Hmm,” William calmed down again, then stroked his chin as he thought of a solution, “It seems we have to get the children out of this dangerous world as soon as possible. We can go to Swan’s place and get him to act quickly.”

“Great Sage Swan, huh? Oh right, I have something here for you to take to him,” Thousand Hands suddenly remembered that he still had the Holy Sword to deliver, so he could ask William to take it over this time.

“Hmm, it’s the Holy Sword,” William decided after thinking for a while. “After taking Tiathe for the checkup, I’ll go see Swann.”

“That’s perfect. I also have a brilliant idea to deal with the monster on Island Fifteen. After I send you to Island Eleven tomorrow, I’ll go and take it down,” Thousand Hands laughed smugly from the side, but he wouldn’t say anything no matter how William asked him.

"Don't worry, the method I found is very simple, and even if it fails, we still have Chtholly and the others. You said that Chtholly can completely crush the opponent now," Senju waved his hand dismissively. "Besides, it's dark now, let's talk about it tomorrow."

“Ah, it’s already this late,” William stood up and stretched.

"It's time for the little ones to stop and rest; they've been inside for three or four hours."

"Has it been this long already?" Senju sighed. "If we don't stop it now, it'll definitely be late at night."

The two then entered the facility and found everyone in the cafeteria. They were all sitting at the front of the table, with their phones propped up in front of them, playing movies.

However, seeing the focused expressions on everyone's faces, Qian Shou invited William inside. Qian Shou didn't want to go in and incur everyone's wrath. But after William went in, he didn't pick up his phone as Qian Shou had expected. Instead, he sat down and watched the phone with everyone.

Only after the film finished playing did he stand up, clap his hands, and tell the children to eat and rest. As a result, the children's complaints quieted down, and they obediently went to wash their hands, eat dinner, and finally went to their rooms to rest.

Chapter 266 The Jewel Box in the Sky

The next day, besides Nigolan, three of Tiate's friends came to see her off. They looked at Tiate with great excitement and envy.

"That's great! Tiathe can go to such a famous place. I want to go there soon too!" Lakixu said, holding her face and looking at Tiathe with anticipation.

"Keep it up! After you've adjusted, you'll definitely keep growing taller," Ke Rong said, waving her arms as if to encourage Tiathe.

"Yes, I will definitely become as excellent as Chtholly-senpai," Tiathe seemed to have thought of something, her face turning red as she waved her arms, "Yay..."

"Keep going, we'll catch up soon," Pan Libao patted Tiathe on the shoulder.

"Alright, let's set off now," Nigolan clapped his hands, and Tiathe reluctantly said goodbye to her friends.

After waving goodbye to everyone, William and Thousand Hands boarded the spaceship, and a while later, the spaceship left and headed towards Island Eleven.

In the control room, Tiathe looked at the images around her with great interest and asked the two, "Hey, is this also a movie?"

"This is what the sky looks like outside. You'll see it when you can fly," Senju explained for a while before moving towards Island Eleven.

“So it’s not a movie after all,” Tiatte said, disappointed for a moment, but then regained her interest and looked at the scenery around her. William, who was beside her, watched with her and occasionally teased her.

Time passed quickly, and the spaceship landed at the port of Island Eleven. After Senju put the spaceship away, the three of them headed towards the town.

The first impression of the place was bustling and lively. The surrounding square seemed to be holding an event, with rows of stalls neatly set up. The pedestrians on the road were also diverse, and you could see a few people of indistinct races, but the people around didn't seem to have any particular reaction.

The surrounding buildings also have a historical feel, all made of red bricks and stones, giving them a long history, and the marks of time can be seen on the stone slabs.

"Oh~" Tiathe stood to the side, staring blankly at the surrounding scenery, her eyes shining with excitement. With an expression of excitement and surprise, she looked as if she was about to fly away.

Seeing that Tiathe was lost in thought, William stepped forward and flicked her forehead. "Hey, hurry up and catch up."

“Hmm,” Tiathe looked around excitedly, following William into the square, shouting, “Hey, this is Island Eleven! The real Corinna Dirchi City!”

“Yes, that’s right,” William said calmly, which greatly displeased Tiathe, who exclaimed excitedly, “A place full of history, a jewel box in the blue sky, a stew pot of romance and legend.”

"What's a stew pot?" the two behind her asked simultaneously, then watched as Tiathe excitedly ran towards the market.

Senju followed, intending to stroll around and buy some things nearby.

People around them noticed the faint smiles in the eyes of the group and probably assumed they were a brother and sister visiting the area.

"Ding ding ding," the clock tower in the square rang out. Senju also looked at the clock tower, a square clock tower made of bricks, with a large dial on it that showed eight o'clock.

When Tiat saw the clock tower, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed as if on a pilgrimage, "That, no way! The clock tower from the movie 'The Lizard Bride' that I saw before, it's amazing!"

“Is there anything you’d like to see?” William asked from the side. “Is this your first time leaving the island? Why don’t you look around?”

“I didn’t come here for sightseeing,” Tiate said, slightly calming her excitement. “I came here to become a fairy soldier as excellent as Chtholly.”

Before William and Thousand Hands could react, she started excitedly looking around, exclaiming, "Wow!"

“But there’s still plenty of time, so let’s look around today,” William said casually, observing Tiathe’s reaction.

“That’s true. Since William said so, there’s nothing we can do,” Tiathe said, feigning calmness, though the happy expression on her face betrayed her true thoughts as mayor.

"William, you take her there. I'll look around too," Thousand Hands said, seeing that everyone around him was very kind. He then handed William the three wrapped holy swords and asked him to deliver them to the Great Sage in a few days.

Okay, be careful.

"A little bit," William said to Thousand Hands, and then excitedly looked around at Tiathe.

After watching the two walk away, Qian Shou began to stroll around the market. There were many stalls selling snacks and trinkets, so Qian Shou started buying things everywhere. He bought a whole stack of everything, so much so that the vendors had to pack up their stalls by the time he finished.

Thousand Hands strolled through the streets, snacking as he went. Along the way, he saw many dolls performing various tasks, which looked to be the same type as those on the spaceship.

After buying a bunch of things, Thousand Hands glanced at the clock next to him. It was almost nine o'clock, so he left. He didn't see the sudden commotion in the market behind him, where a group of orcs were smashing things everywhere.

While eating the snacks she had just bought, Senju launched her spaceship and arrived at Island Fifteen. The battle on the island was still ongoing. The monsters that had just spawned were killed by Chtholly in just a few moves, which made Senju very envious.

However, Thousand Hands started clearing out the small monsters on the side, and secretly put some of the remains into his space. Unfortunately, they melted immediately after entering the space, leaving not even a trace.

Several hours later, the monster came back to life several times, but was killed by Chtholly and the others each time. However, after it fell to the ground, a monster that looked like a man-eating plant and a humanoid monster that kept roaring emerged from it. It seemed that the monster had suddenly turned into two.

After the humanoid monster roared, it unleashed a powerful beam of light that swept across the surrounding area. Senju was quite surprised to see this; it shouldn't be his fault, since the attack looked too much like a laser.

With the appearance of the two monsters, the battlefield immediately descended into chaos. Senju watched Nephren and Esya's surprised and exhausted expressions on the screen to the side.

The soldiers on the battlefield were stunned, but the surrounding artillery quickly reacted and began to attack it, but unfortunately, it had little effect.

Perhaps due to the endless battle, this newly appeared monster became a major obstacle that crushed the entire operation plan, and everyone on the field realized one fact: the operation had failed.

Meanwhile, the commander's order came from the other side: "All personnel retreat. A new beast has been confirmed to have appeared. Based on this situation, this operation has failed. Island Fifteen is abandoned!"

Chapter 267 The Dark Side of the World

"In twenty minutes, disarm the suppression array deployed on this island and issue a warning to the surrounding islands: Operation Fifteen Floating Island has failed, and this island will henceforth become the beast's lair." With the order given, the soldiers of various races below began to retreat. Judging from their exhausted appearance, they were temporarily unable to fight.

Senju saw Chtholly's tracking footage from the spaceship. In the footage, Chtholly's face was pale, and she seemed to be talking incessantly. However, Nephren and Esther also flew to Chtholly's side. After discussing for a while, the three of them dispersed to avoid the humanoid monster's beam cannon.

Then Chtholly charged toward the monster with the holy sword in hand. Judging from the light emanating from the sword, it seemed to be a powerful attack. However, as she flew closer, she suddenly froze, clutching her head and swaying unsteadily.

Senju, who was watching from the side, immediately tensed up and prepared to use his spatial ability to pull Chtholly away. However, he then saw a faint figure emerge above Chtholly's head, ethereal and elusive, like the shadow of a little girl. Number Six also spoke up, "The final component of Creative Mode/Star God Mode has been found. It is recommended to collect it immediately."

"So Chtholly was the final part? But why didn't I notice it before?" Senju wondered, but seeing her current dangerous situation, she began to bombard the two monsters.

At the same time, Number Six reminded her, "The final component is the Star God's soul hidden within her body. Through the information exchange just now, we can see that the other party is eroding Chtholly's soul."

Meanwhile, Nephren and Esther rushed forward and pulled Chtholly away. Only then did Chtholly regain her senses and cut down the man-eating flower-like monster. However, many long tentacles were still attacking relentlessly. The three of them began to cut off the monster's tentacles to buy time for the soldiers to retreat.

"It seems that no matter how you look at it, I have to get this soul," Senju thought to himself. With an excuse, he felt much more relaxed and kept getting closer to the monster while using the spatial rift to defend against its attacks.

A dozen minutes later, the soldiers on the island had all retreated to the airships and gradually left the island. At this point, Senju felt he could attack at will. Laser cannons and missiles bombarded the ground continuously, and he wanted to take the opportunity to capture the beast.

However, at this moment, Athena seemed to fly over and kept shouting something outside. The Thousand Hands stopped firing and realized that she wanted the airship to stop firing, because their fairy soldiers had a way to shoot down the island.

However, Senju noticed a look of surprise in her eyes. It seemed that Aesya, who had flown too close, had discovered the true nature of the airship. Senju opened the hatch and then activated a nearby loudspeaker, "Aesya, come in."

“I see, no wonder their actions were so strange,” Asya said, pacing around outside but not coming in. “However, for now we’re still on a mission. By the way, is Technical Officer William here?”

“William is out today; he took Tiathe to the medical facility in Corinna Dirchi for a checkup,”

Senju said from the side, "I originally thought this battle would be a piece of cake."

"Haha, Island Eleven, huh? We'll go there after the battle. I wonder if we'll run into the technicians," Athena said with a sly smile despite her exhaustion.

Then Senju saw Chtholly raise the holy sword again, and it began to glow. "What does Chtholly want to do now?"
