Chapter 683: The Prisoner’s Terrifying Power!
"Is it dead?" Liu Ping asked.
"Dead? No, there are only their corpses in Eternal Night, their souls should be imprisoned in Purgatory. "Andrea replied.
"Then just now."
"The soul sensed that we were near it, so it temporarily descended."
The two of them slowly approached the bottomless hole.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Nothing happened.
Liu Ping thought for a bit and waved his hand.
A flash of light quickly flew up from the bottom of the hole and hovered in front of them.
It was the head.
It floated in mid-air, motionless, its eyes closed as its eyeballs rolled back and forth under its eyelids.
"Pretending to be dead?"
Liu Ping thought, but felt that it wasn’t the case.
What’s the point of pretending to be dead at a time like this, it can’t even block my attack.
"Ah ... I know," Andrea said with a look of realization. "It’s dreaming!"
Liu Ping saw that and clapped his hands: "That’s right, it looks like it’s dreaming, but why did it start dreaming?"
Andrea flew forward, passed through the layer of lightning and pressed her hand on the monster’s head.
A few moments later.
She muttered:
"This prisoner’s soul has returned to a dream ... I can see it breathing heavily in the dream prison ..."
A dream?
Didn’t they say that all the prisoners’ souls are in Purgatory?
Why did it become a dream?
While Liu Ping was confused, Lilith’s voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Liu Ping, its head seems to be a card."
Liu Ping asked: "Can I take it? Yana can’t be summoned anymore."
"What are you thinking, Lady Mystery is in the Card book, as long as she’s here, everything will be fine." Lilith replied.
"What should I do?"
"Just give the order, leave the rest to me."
Liu Ping hesitated for a bit, then reached his hand towards the head.
"Lilith, take it."
"Understood!"
A small sound.
The Unicorn head surrounded by lightning turned into a Card and fell into Liu Ping’s hand.
Lines of burning words quickly appeared on the screen:
[Prisoner: Thunder Prison Beast]
[Currently obtained corpse part: Head]
[By obtaining this Card, the prisoner’s seal will be activated and the Eternal Night prison will appear]
The ground shook.
The entire world shook.
The giant castle made of corpses suddenly disappeared.
Instead, there was another castle that looked exactly the same, except that it was not made of corpses.
It was made of a kind of black brick that was engraved with runes.
In the void.
Two lines of burning text appeared:
[All the body parts of the Thunder Prison Beast are hidden here]
[Collect all the parts of the Thunder Prison Beast and you will be able to reconstruct this prisoner]
The doubts in Liu Ping’s heart gradually disappeared.
"So that’s how it is. As long as we ’reconstruct’ this prisoner, we can immediately revive it and obtain its loyalty."
Andrea asked, "Is this the Death of the World trio?"
"Yes, I really don’t know what kind of existence could have set up such an ingenious system that could conditionally release these prisoners and ensure that they won’t cause trouble again." Liu Ping sighed.
"We’ve reconstructed the prisoner’s corpse ... but there’s still a problem. How are we going to revive it?" Andrea asked in confusion.
"You forgot that I can do it with my Dramatist powers." Liu Ping said.
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, and his heart suddenly trembled.
How could there be such a coincidence?
Could it be that the great existence that imprisoned all evildoers had already predicted that someone who knew how to "Revive" would appear in the future?
Since that existence had already predicted everything.
Why hasn’t this existence appeared until now and is still in the deepest part of Purgatory?
He and Andrea walked towards the majestic castle together.
Rumble rumble rumble
The castle’s door opened.
Liu Ping stepped in and felt a sense of vicissitudes and ancientness wash over him.
The entire castle was empty.
But deep inside the castle, a series of rustling noises could be heard.
At the end of the hall opposite the two of them, there was a huge throne.
Liu Ping’s card book suddenly opened. The head flew out and flew towards the throne.
While flying, it laughed maniacally: 「Hahaha, you’ve been tricked! 」
「I have both dream and reality memories. I’ve been waiting for this moment. Watch me activate the power of this prison’s seal! 」
「Cry bitterly and regret it. 」
「You can only stay here with me, until the end of eternity! 」
The head flew to the throne and loudly chanted an incantation.
A pity.
But nothing happened.
Not only did nothing happen, even the layer of lightning above its head had completely disappeared.
Liu Ping and Andrea went from tense to relaxed, then to confused.
"Strange, it seems to have lost its power."
"I think so too."
The two of them spoke.
A voice suddenly resounded in their ears:
"Liu Ping, no need to think too much. Before the Evil Spirits appear, all Laws still exist, making a few prophecies isn’t hard at all. You don’t need to think that everything is premeditated."
This was Lady Mystery’s voice.
Liu Ping immediately asked: "You’ve woken up?"
"Why is that monster’s head roaring and unable to cast any spells? Is this your doing? "Andrea excitedly asked.
"This head contains the power of the Laws of the past, which happened to replenish my energy, so I’ve woken up." Lady Mystery answered.
The two of them went silent.
Lady Mystery had been supporting the operation of all the Laws by herself for so long, and with Liu Ping borrowing her power to activate [Dramatist], she probably couldn’t hold on any longer.
And now, she’s finally met the power of the Laws of the past.
It would be strange if she didn’t absorb them all!
The two of them looked back at the head.
「No, why is this!? 」 The head roared in a frenzy. 「This is my cage, I can clearly trigger the lock seals here, why can’t I release anything!? 」
Its cheeks were visibly thinning, turning into a bag of bones, its eyes also sunk into their sockets.
"It seems to have stayed up for dozens of nights." Andrea whispered.
"I feel like it could die at any moment." Liu Ping also commented.
No wonder the head couldn’t release anything.
It’s been sucked dry.
Liu Ping was excited and asked: "Lady Mystery, can you join the battle?"
"I can’t, the two times you used [Dramatist] have drained all of my power. I’m still hoping that you can continue to take its body parts and obtain the power of the Laws of the past from it."
Lady Mystery smiled.
"Alright, leave the rest to us" Andrea said.
She casually waved her hand.
The monster’s head flew back and rolled on the ground.
Andrea stepped on the head, her eyes full of mockery: "Just now, someone said that we were tricked?"
She raised her hand.
Hoh!
Boiling flames of [Dragon’s Breath] appeared on her hand.
The head was stunned for a few moments, then slowly showed a flattering smile.
「Well said, well said! 」
「Sirs, so all of my powers of the Laws have been taken away by you ... how impressive, I’m truly impressed.」
「I surrender.」
Liu Ping held his greatsword and lightly tapped its face: "Don’t say such nonsense, tell us, where are the other parts of your body hidden?"
「Alright, alright, I’ll tell you, they’re hidden under the floor in front of us. I wanted to summon them, but I no longer have any power.」 the monster’s head said.
Hearing that, Liu Ping raised his greatsword and swung it at the floor.
A large hole was cut open in the floor of the hall.
Sure enough, there were various torsos, organs, limbs, and tails hidden inside the hole.
The moment the hole was cut open.
All of its body parts seemed to have sensed its head and released bolts of lightning, striking the monster’s head at lightning speed.
The monster’s head trembled, then disappeared from where it was, landing among the body parts.
「AHAHAHA! You two idiots, you’re too naïve. 」
The monster’s head laughed maniacally.
All of its body parts began to resonate with one another.
Instantly.
The entire world disappeared.
Another world came from far away and enveloped Liu Ping and Andrea in an instant.
"This is ..."
Liu Ping hid Andrea behind him and looked around with his greatsword in hand.
Only to see that this place was a sea of clouds made entirely of lightning.
A few lines of burning text then appeared:
[The other party has activated a powerful Dreamscape technique]
[You’ve been dragged into the surface world Dreamscape of Purgatory and the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night]
[Attention!]
[The current world is the other party’s World Technique, please be careful]
All of the text flashed and disappeared.
The monster’s body slowly began to piece back together.
It uttered a furious roar that shook heaven and earth:
「 Pitiful and foolish ants, I’m going to turn this senseless battle around. 」
「 With my terrifying power, I’ve dragged you into the Dreamscape, this is my home turf. 」
「 Feel despair! 」
As soon as it said that, it excitedly looked at the two people in front of it.
To its disappointment, the two of them weren’t frightened at all, in fact, their expressions were a bit strange.
Only the panda on the man’s waist couldn’t hold itself back and laughed out loud.
「 What are you laughing at? 」 the monster viciously asked.
The panda was laughing non-stop, clutching its stomach, unable to stop, unable to answer it at all.
「 Alright, let everything be destroyed by Lightning! 」
The monster waved its finger, summoning countless arcs of lightning from all around. Countless arcs of lightning surrounded it, as if ready to listen to its orders.
At this point.
Liu Ping finally spoke up: "Ah, then I have something to tell you."
「 You finally remembered to beg for mercy? 」 the monster coldly laughed.
"That’s not it." Liu Ping waved his hand, "Actually, we also came from the Dreamscape. In the Dreamscape, I seem to have a group of friends who are ready to act at any time."
At the very next moment.
The entire world disappeared.
Another world rapidly approached from a faraway location and enveloped everyone in it.
The sky was far away from the highlands.
The sun was shining brightly, burning everything.
As far as the eye could see, there was only an endless desert.
The monster was stunned.
It slowly lowered its head to look at its finger.
It didn’t know what happened, but there wasn’t a single strand of lightning left on its finger.
All of the lightning had disappeared.
Not only that.
It seemed that it couldn’t exert any power anymore.
Bean-sized beads of cold sweat emerged from the monster’s head, it couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat away: "What kind of world is this?"
Liu Ping shrugged and didn’t say anything.
The panda on his waist arched its back, pointing at the monster with one hand and clutching its stomach with the other, shaking its head and laughing loudly.
This laughter infected Andrea, so much so that she also covered her mouth and laughed softly.
At this point, Liu Ping sighed and said:
"There’s a path to heaven but you don’t want to take it, there’s no door to hell but you insist on coming."
On the sand in front of him.
The gravel slowly sank into the ground, forming a line of beautiful small words:
[Welcome back]
[God, Master Pao, Gaia, Rita, and Dream]
