Chapter 1039: Chapter 690 Nightmare (4K)_2

The Seventh Expeditionary Army, with its tens of thousands of armored warriors and hundreds of thousands of Auxiliary Army soldiers, is indeed the most powerful existence on this continent.

If Li Changhe were to lead them personally, that aura of a War Leader would take their strength to another level.

But to confront Xuan City, the Great Chen Kingdom, and various small countries that might intervene, not to mention the resurrected insect god,

even the Expeditionary Army wouldn’t fare well.

Especially since, once the golden statue is destroyed, if there is no subsequent task, Li Changhe and the others will be sent out of this world.

The fate of the Protectorate would be even more pitiful.

"Perhaps we can disintegrate it from the inside," Chen Yu opened his mouth to say, "I’ve already thoroughly investigated everything that the three-armed girl has experienced."

"Uh... but even if we disclose these things, I reckon no one would believe us," Qiu Wentian said, scratching his head.

"Have you forgotten?" Chen Yu chuckled lightly, "My Sequence gene is the stuff of dreams, Nightmare, that is."

Li Changhe’s Sequence is Jiuli, which, in terms of effect, is biased towards defense and attack.

Whereas Xiao Nan’s Sequence is the Divine Deer, Fuzhu, from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Once she activates her Sequence, she can even change the climate over a wide area, thereby enhancing the Demon Armor.

For example, summoning heavy rain in a battlefield where moisture is scarce. Increasing moisture to reduce the divinity consumption of the Demon Armor.

Unfortunately, the girl has always refused to let Li Changhe see her activate her Sequence. Not sure what she’s shy about...

Qiu Wentian’s Sequence, on the other hand, is the same kind as that of the Iron Scale Blade Demon of Hailing Mountain. It transforms weapons and enhances close-range output. She has taken close-range output to an extreme.

A loli who can cleave a telephone pole with a single stroke of her blade, tell me, are you scared?

Chen Yu’s Sequence gene is Nightmare, unlike the violent output of the others above.

She doesn’t have a Killing Aura surrounding her, nor can she call the wind and summon the rain or chop through telephone poles with a flick of her blade.

Her ability is purely a strengthening of the spiritual level.

She can even instantly drag most enemies into the dreamscape she’s created, where in that dreamscape of her own making she can torment the enemies miserably.

Killed in the dreamscape, even if the enemy’s body still lives, they completely become vegetative.

Dream-making... such an ability is extremely convenient.

If Chen Yu wants, she could even construct her own harem of beauties within her dreamscape.

Also, it’s an ability that can make good money.

Some players will hire people with this ability at a high price to construct a dreamscape that meets their own stipulations, exclusively for them.

In the dreamscape, they can have everything they can’t get in real life. And many people get addicted to it. Even if they know subconsciously that it’s a dreamscape, a falsehood, they still choose to deceive themselves.

It’s an ability of great allure, even the controller themselves may fall into indulgence.

Chen Yu also relied on this ability to investigate intelligence within the three-armed girl’s dream.

"That girl, originally a scout from the Protectorate. After learning about the Bottom Nest, almost all her kin were sacrificed. She planned to infiltrate the Inner City to find clues about the Bottom Nest. Accidentally, she was selected by the Inner City and became one of the baptism subjects," Chen Yu spoke somberly, "You all know the final outcome. When that dose of the Insect God’s True Blood was injected into her cervical spine, her consciousness was gradually devoured and her body mutated. She was cast away in the Bottom Nest, becoming a Mutant somewhere between humans and the Insect Race. The remnants of her consciousness led her to linger by the exit they had discovered. That’s also the main reason you could find her."

"Can this kind of mutation be reversed?" Li Changhe asked in a low voice. The girl was Guo Yi’s aunt, and she was also a meritorious intelligence gatherer for the Protectorate. If possible, he hoped she could recover.

"As long as the Blood of the Insect God remains in her body, not even an all-purpose medicine can cure her," Chen Yu shook his head and said, "It’s an almost irreversible mutation; she can only devour other mutants and evolve toward even more distorted forms. It’s more like an instinct gifted to her by the Divine Blood. Or rather, a command from the Insect God."

"At present, it is known that those who have undergone the baptism and perfectly adapted will enter the inner city to become officials or warriors. Their lifespan, strength, speed, and even physical strength are greatly enhanced."

"The second tier consists of those who are not so well adapted. Although they have human bodies, their strength hardly changes. And as time passes, the True Blood within them may overcome human reason. They are placed in the outer city. When they reach a certain age, the people of the inner city will take them away. Some can live out their lives peacefully, while others are devoured by the Insect God’s True Blood and rapidly transform into alien monsters. The mutated are thrown into the Bottom Nest or directly into the river to fend for themselves."

"The third tier includes those who are completely unadapted, like that three-armed girl. Her body totally rejects the Insect God’s True Blood, and she mutated quickly after it was injected. They are cast into the Bottom Nest to devour and evolve on their own."

"Xuan City... everyone says Xuan City is the only pure land on this continent. Here one is protected by the Lord of Xuan City, undisturbed by war. But who could have imagined that the so-called baptism was merely the Queen of Xuan City’s method for selecting warriors," Chen Yu continued, "From her memories, I discovered that even the people of the inner city are rarely aware of the true nature of the baptism."

"So, we’re supposed to reveal this truth to the people of Xuan City?" Qiu Wentian pondered, "But how?"

"My Nightmare Sequence is not just for creating dreams," Chen Yu said, "There are still three hours before dawn, many people in Xuan City are sleeping, saving me a lot of effort."

"You plan to present these pieces of information in their dreams?" Qiu Wentian said, "Indeed, this method might be more convincing than others. But will it be effective?"

Qiu Wentian thought to himself that even if he dreamed about something, he wouldn’t fully believe a dream upon waking up.

"It’s just a catalyst," Li Changhe had grasped Chen Yu’s idea, "As long as we can fan the flames when they already harbor certain suspicions. Then the people of Xuan City won’t be able not to believe it."

"That’s the principle. Moreover, I’ve already figured out what the so-called ’catalyst’ will be." Xiao Nan looked in a certain direction, toward... the direction of the tavern where the Great Chen people lived.

"Think about it, a so-called great nation, has actually won its victories through reliance on these inhuman monsters. And these monsters originate from their revered Xuan City, even their own blood contains the monster’s blood, and they might even become such monsters," Chen Yu chuckled lowly, "Together with the assembling of the Seventh Expeditionary Army, this is the real internal trouble and external threat. And it’s the best timing for our actions."

The strength of the Lord of Xuan City originated from the faith of the people sheltered by Xuan City.

When reality and dreams overlapped, the harsh truth would shock all people in Xuan City.

Once all the truths were revealed, the Queen of Xuan City would inevitably face the backlash from the populace.

This was the internal trouble.

And the Seventh Expeditionary Army, which was currently assembling and approaching, was the tangible external threat.

Under such circumstances, the actions of Li Changhe and others were bound to proceed more smoothly.

"You really are a member of the Strategy Group, Chen Yu, you’ve become so cunning. Well done!" Li Changhe raised his thumb at Chen Yu and asked, "But how long will you need to complete this step?"

"If it’s just about presenting dreams, it’s possible as long as they are within the range of my ability. As long as their energy is lower than mine, numbers are not an issue," Chen Yu calculated, "However, before the grand ceremony of Xuan City begins, I guess I have to be a night owl... Tch, not much change from usual. After all, I don’t sleep well normally. The neighbors are too noisy."

Neighbors? Qiu Wentian naturally didn’t understand the implication and was puzzled.

While Li Changhe and Xiao Nan guiltily hung their heads.

They were the noisy neighbors...

Chen Yu glanced at the scar on Li Changhe’s mouth and lost the interest to tease any further. He silently sat back in his chair and closed his eyes to plan...

Nobody knew, she had indeed been immersed in a dream state for a while, but she understood all of that was false. These were things that would not happen in reality...

"So be it... Let’s do this," she murmured to herself as she activated the Nightmare Sequence.

That night, hundreds in Xuan City had a horrifying nightmare.
