"Interesting? Indeed very interesting. Next year, on this day, will be your death anniversary!" Shi Nian's face twisted hideously, and his figure began to blur again.

"Let me show you my 'Lingering Dream'. Then, perish in extreme pain."

His voice became faint and elusive, as if far away, yet right next to my ear.

Everything around me began to change. Amon saw magnificent mountains, including the towering Hornacis Peak that stood out even among them, and the ancient, dilapidated palace at its peak.

On the mountainside, there was a slender youth wearing a pointed soft cap, a classic black robe, and a monocle made of crystal on his right eye.

His body was as huge as the mountain, and his face bore a mischievous smile, as if a prank was about to succeed.

Amon! Amon, the dual pathway true deity from 'Lord of Mysteries'!

Suddenly, a blurry, indistinct figure appeared.

This figure wore a layered but not overly elaborate black dress, adorned with countless stars.

She was as huge as the black-robed youth, with two pairs of arms covered in short, deep-black fur growing from her ribs and waist, but she had a beautiful, gentle face veiled in a thin, black gauze.

Her eyes seemed to condense the starry night sky, inspiring both peace and an uncontrollable sense of fear.

Two of her hands dragged a long, giant scythe, another held a bird-shaped golden ornament, and the remaining one was empty, as if supporting something invisible.

The Evernight Goddess!

And at this moment, the transmigrator Amon stood between the two, as insignificant as dust compared to these great beings.

Shi Nian's illusion allowed Amon to clearly recall those two seconds in the 'Lord of Mysteries' world.

The Evernight Goddess's eyes, like a condensed starry night sky, looked at him and slowly, yet swiftly, raised the long, giant scythe.

However, Amon did not feel fear. He knew this was just an illusion, and he even had the mind to admire the goddess's beauty.

So that's what the eight-legged magic wolf lady looks like. I was dazed when I first transmigrated and didn't have time to appreciate her properly. She's quite beautiful.

But isn't Shi Nian's ability supposed to make people recall their greatest fears? But I don't feel any fear...

Or, because I have nothing to fear, I saw the 'Empress of Misfortune and Horror'?

Or perhaps, I ultimately died under the goddess's scythe, and what I fear is death?

Amon inadvertently turned his head and suddenly saw the gigantic, mysterious Amon, as large as a mountain, giving him a knowing smile, as if saying: I've found you.

Amon's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of trembling and fear from the depths of his soul uncontrollably arose.

This was what he truly feared! He feared the true form of the mysterious Amon!

From Shi Nian's perspective, Amon stood quietly in place, with a faint smile on his face. At first, he even thought there was something wrong with his soul skill.

It wasn't until Amon's expression gradually twisted, becoming hideous and filled with deep fear, that he felt relieved.

"Unfortunately, my seventh soul skill, 'Nightmare,' can only create the most feared event in a person's heart. I can't freely manipulate the illusion, so I can't play with him more.

"And I can't even see it myself… I really want to see what kind of illusion would make such a genius afraid and fearful."

Shi Nian leaned against a large tree, his seventh soul ring constantly releasing dazzling black light, his face twisted with a smile.

He saw Amon suddenly calm down, slowly raise his hand, and grab in the direction of where he was.

The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by deep shock and unease. He couldn't feel his first six soul skills!

"Found you," a deep voice tinged with playfulness exploded in Shi Nian's ear.

Amon had consumed "Soul-Solidifying Grass," making his soul incredibly resilient and highly resistant to mental attacks. Therefore, Shi Nian's soul skill "Nightmare" had a limited impact on him.

The Amon clone facing Shi Nian at this moment was not an ordinary clone, but a special clone with a bug.

He had used "Soul Skill Theft" on his main body, stealing his main body's fifth soul skill and then returning it.

Since the clone was also considered part of Amon, returning it to the clone was naturally the same as returning it to the original owner of the soul skill. Therefore, the soul skill did not return to the main body but was intercepted by the clone.

Of course, the disadvantage of doing this was that the fifth soul skill remained with the clone, and Amon's main body could not use this skill.

Unless the clone died, or the main body approached the clone and stole the soul skill back, the fifth soul skill would not return.

This special clone, representing the main body's actions in Heaven Dou City and capable of using the fifth soul skill, was basically as strong as the main body.

When Shi Nian secretly attacked him, Amon had already activated "Mind Reading" from his fifth soul skill.

His mental power was actually not that strong.

Although the total soul power of the "Amon" group was enormous, the individual Amon's soul was limited and could not exceed "ten parts." It could only be said to be at the upper level among those of the same rank, far inferior to Shi Nian, a Soul Sage.

Therefore, "Mind Reading" didn't read anything, but roughly determined Shi Nian's location.

Subsequently, many Worms of Time within him simultaneously launched "Soul Skill Theft" at Shi Nian, stealing his first to sixth soul rings one by one.

While Shi Nian was shocked that his soul skills were silent and could not be activated, Amon attacked again, using the active part of his second soul skill, "Deception."

"Deception" also determined its effect by comparing the mental power of both sides. Since Amon's mental power was weaker than Shi Nian's, it only worked for a moment at the beginning.

After that, under Shi Nian's instinctive mental resistance, "Deception" did not produce even the slightest delay in his thinking.

But this was not without meaning. When many Worms of Time launched "Deception" at Shi Nian, Shi Nian had to allocate some mental power to resist these effects.

This reduced his mental defenses, and Amon's "Mind Reading" successfully read the thoughts in Shi Nian's mind.

At this time, Shi Nian's mind mainly had the following thoughts:

The intent to kill Amon, the shock, incomprehension, and doubt about the disappearance of his soul skills, and the desire to retreat because the assassination plan had gone wrong.

When the target's mind already had two opposing thoughts, and their intensity was equivalent, making any choice would not be surprising. Amon stealing any one of those thoughts would become very easy.

Because the other party was very likely to follow that "unstolen thought," Amon was just giving it a push.

Shi Nian's thoughts of "killing Amon" and "retreating" were mutually opposed at this time, and their intensity was equivalent.

Amon easily stole his "retreat" thought. As a result, the thought of "killing Amon" took the upper hand in Shi Nian's mind, and he continued to fight, disregarding the disadvantageous factors that his first to sixth soul skills were unusable and his seventh soul skill was generally ineffective.

Shi Nian used his soul bone skill, "Illusion Space."

This skill was mainly used in team battles to assist teammates in communication, but it could also be used to fight enemies alone.

When fighting enemies, it could cause the opponent to have directional errors and weaken the opponent's spirit in a continuous confusing effect.

The effect on Amon was not as good as "Nightmare" because Amon did not need to judge directions through ordinary perception methods. He directly locked onto Shi Nian through "Mind Reading."

Moreover, this kind of directional disorder could only bring some trouble to Amon at the beginning, and he could adapt after a little adjustment.

After running out of tricks, Shi Nian stirred his soul power and directly rushed towards Amon.

With his Soul Sage level, he didn't need too many soul skills. Just soul power combined with his physical body could pose a great threat to Amon.

In response, Amon's response was also quite simple. He condensed soul power into stepping stones, stepping on them and ascending into the sky.

Then, he stretched out his right hand, his palm circulating with soul power, and a large amount of air was drawn in with the circulation of soul power, condensing into a small sphere.

"Air Bomb!"

The small sphere of air wrapped in soul power flew downward.

At the same time, Amon returned his "retreat" thought.

The two thoughts of "retreating" and "killing Amon" suddenly collided in his mind, causing Shi Nian's dodging action to pause.

The air bomb suddenly exploded, making a loud "boom."

Shi Nian felt his internal organs shifting and coughed up a large amount of blood.

Even with soul power protecting him, he was seriously injured by such an attack.

At this moment, the thought of "retreating" had taken the upper hand in his mind. Without hesitation, he got up and immediately ran away.

Amon suddenly said, "Are you sure your soul skills will recover after you escape?"

It was just such a simple sentence that slowed Shi Nian's speed. He could not accept the result of losing his first to sixth soul skills.

The thought of "fighting to the death" and the thought of "retreating immediately" began to tug-of-war again in his mind.

Amon chuckled and grabbed forward, stealing the thought of "retreating immediately."

Shi Nian ran and ran, then suddenly turned back, attacking Amon, thinking he was catching him off guard.

But he was greeted again with a long-prepared "Air Bomb."

He flew out again.

This time, Amon did not give him a chance to react and rushed over directly.

He returned the thought of "retreating immediately." Shi Nian, who had originally planned to fight to the death, lost the courage to fight and only wanted to escape quickly.

But it was already too late. Amon approached him and pierced his throat with a long sword condensed from soul power.

Shi Nian covered his blood-splattered neck, his face filled with disbelief.

He couldn't understand why a hunt that was clearly a sure thing would end with his own death.

He was a Soul Sage, a Soul Sage fighting a Soul… what was it?

His eyes suddenly widened, and he realized that Amon had not revealed his martial soul and soul rings from beginning to end!

Shi Nian wanted to say something, but the words leaked out of his throat, and he could only make a "ho" sound.

Amon held his right index finger and thumb upright and pointed them at his eyes, "Bye-bye."

Bang!

The air bullet penetrated his eyeball and exploded in Shi Nian's head.

In a pool of blood, Amon picked up a bone with a faint glow and put it into his space ring.

"Heh… thank you for the gift."

As he said that, he looked at a hidden corner intentionally or unintentionally, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Then, he slowly walked towards the city.
