Nightmare Council
The Abyss Will and the Chaos Attendant descended simultaneously.
They gazed at the heavily injured and dying Eternal Slumber.
"Outrageous!"
Under the very noses of the two Supreme beings, an assassination attempt on a high-ranking Abyss member, though ultimately failing, was a slap in the face to the Abyss Will.
It said coldly:
"If I hadn't been busy searching for the Nightmare, how could he have succeeded?"
After making excuses, it slightly salvaged its reputation.
The Abyss Will then sealed off all major entrances to the Abyss.
At the same time, it ordered a thorough investigation within the Abyss.
When a cockroach is found in a home, there are probably many more. As a result, after searching for three years and turning the Abyss upside down, no clues were found.
In the end, the matter had to be dropped.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news spreads like wildfire.
This incident eventually spread throughout the Multiverse.
When everyone heard that the Chaos Emperor had quietly infiltrated Level 657 of the Abyss and severely injured Eternal Slumber under the noses of the Supreme beings, they all marveled at how unbelievable it was.
The Abyss, a forbidden place.
Just entering it requires courage.
Not to mention going deep beyond Level 600.
Those who can survive here are basically top-tier experts.
The Chaos Emperor's ability to infiltrate was indeed a testament to his skills.
Flesh Womb.
"As expected, Nora and the Abyss are about to fight."
After learning the news, the Nightmare Will felt a glimmer of hope in its heart.
If it were him, being bullied in his own home, he would definitely seek revenge!
The Chaos Emperor's actions were a challenge to the authority of the Abyss.
The Lord of Terror said:
"My Lord, the Nightmare's north, south, and west have all fallen... Only the east and central regions remain. If we don't act now, the Black Dragon Flag will be planted all over the Nightmare."
The Nightmare Will said, "Don't worry, our opportunity has come."
Star Realm.
After discovering that brute force was no match for the Star Ancestor, the Mother Nest Will abandoned the idea of head-on confrontation and began playing cat and mouse with the Star Ancestor. It led the Zerg through the Ruin Sea, and wherever it passed, the Gods retreated, abandoning their armor and weapons.
The Star Ancestor led a group of powerful Gods to form a Heavenly Net.
Several times it almost surrounded the Mother Nest Will, but all ended in failure.
As the number of times increased, it could clearly feel that the Mother Nest Will was constantly adapting and evolving. Its tactics became more and more perfect, making the Star Ancestor panic.
It had a premonition.
One day, the Zerg would become the calamity of the Multiverse! That damned Kars, he simply didn't understand the seriousness of the matter.
When the Star Ancestor heard that the Chaos Emperor had entered the Abyss.
It sneered inwardly.
"These fools without a sense of the big picture! Each one wants to challenge the authority of the Star Realm leader. But without the Star Realm, who will support this sky? Who will fight against the Zerg? Blind, conformist, short-sighted!
Mortals are always so ignorant!
Only the Star Realm can lead this universe! Only I, the Star Ancestor, can shoulder this great responsibility!"
Provoked again and again.
The Star Ancestor had lost all patience. It was determined that after solving the Zerg disaster, it would use all the power of the Star Realm to let the Gods and Angels descend to the mortal world and flatten the Three Realms and Nora!
From then on, all the order of the universe would be controlled by the Star Realm! Including life and death reincarnation!
Let the Mother of Darkness go to hell! If you want to go crazy, let's all go crazy together!
Nora Calendar 3903.
Nightmare World, northern region.
Although Eternal Slumber was not dead, it was seriously injured.
During the time of healing, it was temporarily unable to descend a Nightmare Avatar.
Pazuzu and the demon army were also forced to wake up from the Abyss.
This Wind Demon Lord revealed a look of relief after surviving a disaster.
"Fortunately... I knew it, Eternal Slumber is unreliable."
In the past few years, it had been wiped out by the Nora Legion a full three times!
That real sense of Death made it, as a Long-Lived Species, very uncomfortable.
It was afraid of Death.
It didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the other three Demon Lords.
For the rest of its life, it just wanted to spend it in the Abyss.
Nightmare World.
Without the Abyss causing trouble, the Nora Legion finally captured hundreds of large regions in the Nightmare North, and then joined forces with the Netherworld in the Nightmare East.
In just 27 years, the allied forces of both sides captured hundreds of large regions in the east.
Successfully entered the final dungeon: the Nightmare Central Region.
This used to be the sleeping place of the Nightmare Will.
Now, the Twilight Legion led by Finger is advancing with difficulty. More than twenty Nightmare Lords have gathered in the center for various reasons.
They formed a resistance army, stubbornly resisting.
They still fantasize that the Nightmare Will will return to save them.
Some of them are even still immersed in the old dreams of the kingdom.
Unwilling to believe the fact that the Nightmare Will has become a stray dog.
Now.
The Netherworld, Nora, and Twilight Legion have victoriously joined forces.
A total of 108 Level Ten powerhouses led their legions to drive straight in, and large regions were conquered every month. In less than ten years, they arrived at the core of the Nightmare.
Nora Calendar 3940.
More than twenty Lords gathered in [Nightmare City], which was once the site of the Flesh Palace. Now that the Supreme Treasure is gone, only a giant city remains, desolate and bleak.
Their expressions are complicated, not knowing what they are thinking.
In the city, countless Nightmare Lords also cannot see tomorrow and the future.
When did the Nightmare begin to decline to this point?
Clearly, thousands of years ago, they were still the embodiment of fear in the Multiverse! Why are these people in front of them not afraid? Is the Nightmare really going to perish? Rumble! Shadows all over the sky converged into Zarathus's majestic figure.
After years of war, its Strength has also improved.
Infinitely close to the level of the Four Emperors.
As the leader of the Shadow Civilization, it must have this kind of Strength.
After all, it was once a quasi-Colossal World.
Zarathus said: "You should surrender, the Nightmare Will has abandoned you."
Reincarnation Nether Emperor also said: "Surrender and live, otherwise you will be thrown into Avici Hell, never to be reborn!"
Hundreds of powerhouses exuded a soaring aura, dispersing the Nightmare's red and black sky.
Two hundred years of war have finally ushered in this day.
It's too difficult! Beside Finger.
The Down and Out Monarch and Blood Sea Mosquito Monarch said in unison:
"Everyone, surrender, don't make meaningless struggles. You may be sleeping and don't know that the Nightmare Will has abandoned us. You also don't know how powerful Nora is now, they are invincible, only living is the truth."
The Blood Sea Mosquito Monarch witnessed the Nightmare being flattened by these people all the way.
It knows best that times have changed.
It even has a premonition that the era belonging to Gods and Demons is about to come to an end.
These short-lived species are about to dominate the world.
Even the Star Realm can't stop them.
It saw an extremely united legion, not unlike the Zerg. These people's loyalty to the Chaos Emperor or the Supreme Council is comparable to that of believers to Gods.
Moreover, it comes from the bottom of their hearts.
Because they have witnessed the birth of miracles.
Witnessed the successive efforts of generations.
They are determined to believe that now is the era of Nora!
On the city wall, a Lord exuding the aura of Level Ten late stage rebuked angrily: "Blood Sea, if the Supreme Will returns, you will not die a good death."
"You would rather believe these mortals than believe in the Nightmare."
"The world we live in is the body of the Supreme Will!"
Blood Sea Mosquito Monarch sighed:
"I have said all I can, I just don't want to see you die in vain."
It returned to the team, inwardly rejoicing.
Fortunately, it surrendered quickly.
Now it has gained the trust of the Twilight Lord.
In the crowd, Finger, wearing magic armor, pointed his long sword at the city.
"You are wrong, the Nightmare World is not the flesh of the Supreme Will. You Lords, Lords, and millions of Nightmare Creatures are the Nightmare World! Without your Strength, how could mere individual power give birth to such a vast world? You are indeed created by the Nightmare, but the moment you were born, you were already independent and complete individuals. This world is your world, not its! The so-called Supreme Will is just a parasite that absorbs your Strength.
This Nightmare Lord, the Supreme Will can be, and so can you! You can continue to live in the Nightmare and continue to be your incarnations of fear.
The only thing that will disappear is the Nightmare Will!"
Finger's words made some Nightmare Creatures feel moved.
They suddenly realized a problem.
Most creatures' short lives seem to have nothing to do with the Nightmare Will.
Except for a very few high-level individuals, no one has ever seen the Nightmare Will.
Why must they obey its orders? Even throw themselves into the fire for it.
In the end, they don't even know who they are working for until they are about to die.
From beginning to end, the only thing that binds them is the constraints in their Bloodline.
The Nightmare Will is the sky, the Nightmare Will is the creator.
It is omnipotent and omniscient.
But in reality, the Nightmare Will doesn't seem to be that powerful.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have abandoned the world it was born from.
In this universe, omniscience and omnipotence simply do not exist!
Time passed by, minute by minute.
Under the dual effect of flowers and sticks.
Finally, a Lord couldn't withstand it any longer, and it suddenly said:
"I surrender."
Once someone takes the lead, it becomes much easier.
The remaining Lords also surrendered.
Only that Level Ten late-stage being was still wavering.
It had once seen the Nightmare Will.
A Lord beside it said:
"Surrender, the general trend is over."
"Yeah, they've already attacked Nightmare City, and the Supreme Will hasn't even shown itself."
"That's right, we are abandoned pieces."
Looking at this scene, this strongest Lord sighed and said, "I also surrender."
Finger revealed a smile.
Up to this point, the Nightmare Will had not appeared.
This old thing is too good at enduring.
It seems it completely disregards the Nightmare World.
Abandoning the body, the will lives on forever.
Subsequently, many Lords and Overlords swore oaths.
Finger transformed into a Black Dragon, landed on Nightmare City, and planted the Black Dragon Flag!
"The Nightmare still exists... but we are its masters!"
Thus.
Nora Calendar 3940.
The entire Nightmare World is unified.
Nora, the Netherworld, and the surrendered Nightmare Lords secretly prepared to establish a new ruling body for the Nightmare World, the [Nightmare Council], in Nightmare City. Everyone unanimously agreed that the authentically Nightmare Creature [Twilight Lord] should serve as the [Grand Council President].
Having developed to this point, Nora's 79 Level Ten powerhouses (including Finger), the Netherworld's 214 Nether Emperors, and the 101 Lords who surrendered from outside the Nightmare World, along with the 26 Lords who submitted from within the world, totaling 127 Lords, jointly formed the high-level of the Nightmare Council.
These are the first 420 Nightmare Co-lords.
The Nightmare Council's power is limited to managing and protecting the Nightmare World. It is subordinate to the Nora Council. If any Nightmare Lords perform meritorious service in the subsequent civilization wars, they may join the Nora Council after being approved by the Nora Council and agreed to by the Grand Council President.
This is a temporary management organization.
Mainly to fight against the Nightmare Will and remnants in the wild.
Moreover, Levi hasn't figured out how to deal with these Nightmare Lords, or what kind of regime to establish to maintain this Colossal World.
Let's just go this way for now, trial and error step by step.
Anyway, the core is to ensure Nora's dominance over the Nightmare.
In the blink of an eye, sixty years have passed.
After a series of intense preparations.
On this day, atop the Tower of Babel.
More than four hundred powerful figures, including many Nightmare Lords, descended as illusory projections. These Nightmare powerhouses stood behind that towering figure wearing a pure white imperial robe.
They were in awe, solemn, and apprehensive...
Seeing so many Nightmare powerhouses, the Sentient Beings of Nora were shocked.
Everyone waited for the Emperor's speech.
Levi said:
"Today, as everyone and I bid farewell to Nora's 4th millennium and welcome the arrival of the 5th millennium, I solemnly announce the establishment of the Nightmare Council to everyone.
Yes, the Nightmare has changed hands.
The era belonging to the Nightmare Will is over. Those who abandoned their armor and fled are now hiding in the dark, eking out a living, and escaping reality. Next is the era of the new Nightmare.
I am honored to introduce to you these friends who abandoned the dark and turned to the light, who still have courage after experiencing the oppression of the Supreme Will, and who embrace the new world with us.
They are the monarchs and overlords of the old era, and now they are the Upper House Members and Lower House Members of the new Nightmare, our allies, and those who govern the Nightmare together.
They will join us in resisting those menacing enemies, eliminating the Demons and Monsters coveting Nora, and crushing the powerful forces that try to rise above us!
On the occasion of Nora's 4000th year.
I solemnly announce to everyone, to the Multiverse!
The Nightmare Council is established!"
Accompanied by Thunderous applause and overwhelming shouts.
A Black Dragon overlooking the world hovered between heaven and earth.
It transformed and stood on the Tower of Babel.
It is Finger.
It is the Chaos Emperor's fourth incarnation!
[It] is a steadfast practitioner of the Emperor's will, eternally loyal to Nora, the supreme leader of the Nightmare Council, and the shared master of all Nightmare Creatures in the world.
Finger formally announced the members of the Nightmare Council.
As well as the Nightmare Council's future goals, tenets, policies, and so on.
The conference lasted a day and a night before it concluded.
During this period, no force dared to intrude.
Before the Round Table, the Will of Azure Sky took up a pen and wrote.
[Nora Calendar 4000, the Nightmare changes hands, the Council is established.
Nora Epic, Volume Five, The Nightmare Invasion]
With the Council fanning the flames.
The news of the Nightmare changing hands quickly spread throughout the Multiverse.
Red Giant Plane.
The Fire Monarch's expression was quite interesting at this moment.
"Interesting... not quite what I expected. The Nightmare Council temporarily drawing these Lords over is also a good thing; Nora's foundation is still lacking.
It must rely on external forces.
It's just that these old relics will be difficult to subdue.
It's fine now; the Emperor's might reigns supreme, and no one disobeys.
But if the Emperor departs, how to govern will also be a problem.
But those are problems for later generations.
Overall, this move is good, taking the Nightmare with minimal losses. Next, let's see how the Nightmare remnants, the Abyss, and the Star Realm respond."
Nameless Dimension.
"The Nightmare Council?"
"An unforeseen path."
"If it were me, I would definitely clear out all these Nightmare natives first." But Nora is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, so temporarily drawing a group over is also a good thing.
"I'm somewhat looking forward to the day of the showdown with the Star Realm."
Abyss.
Level 657.
Eternal Slumber's serious injuries healed.
But at this moment, it was already too late.
Sending in its forces would only add minor troubles for Nora.
After being punched by the Chaos Emperor, it sobered up.
It was best not to be the first bird to stick its head out.
No wonder Pazuzu was in seclusion all day long.
This man was truly terrifying.
City of Chaos.
The two Supremes looked gloomy.
"Hmph, trying to absorb the Nightmare Strength to fight against us."
"This is digging their own graves; Nightmare Creatures are extremely cunning, how could they be trusted?"
"Never mind them, swallowing the Nightmare Will as soon as possible is the right path. We must find their hiding place before the Nether Mother River does."
Star Realm.
The Storm Emperor, riding a Psionic Dragon, frowned.
"Nightmare Council? What new trick is this?"
He never expected that Nora would spare the lives of these Lords.
"Does the Chaos Emperor really think he can control these terrifying Avatars?"
"I think he just wants to use the Nightmare Creatures as cannon fodder."
"We must quickly deal with the Zerg, otherwise the Star Realm's leading position will be in danger!"
Nora's rapid rise.
Made the Star Realm's sense of crisis continue to increase.
If it weren't for that damned Kars, the Star Realm should have already conquered Nora by now.
Flesh Womb.
"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! That is This Venerable One's body!"
"That is my Nightmare!"
"Those people dare to betray me!"
The Nightmare Will, upon hearing that the entire Nightmare World was either dead or surrendered, finally couldn't sit still.
But its current Strength was already inferior to the Nether Mother River and the Abyss Will.
Once it went out, it might be besieged by a group of Supremes.
So it hesitated, unsure of what to do.
Suddenly, the space within the Flesh Womb trembled and buzzed.
Thump! Thump! Thump! It was as if a pair of giant hands were pounding on the city walls.
The Nightmare Will's expression changed drastically.
"Damn it, the Flesh Womb has been found."
On the periphery of the Flesh Womb's boundary wall, a gigantic monster phantom with a human head and an insect body emerged. Beside it, the Chaos Attendant extended tens of millions of chains, surrounding the Flesh Womb.
The Abyss Will had actually taken the lead and arrived here.
It smiled calmly, saying:
"You might be able to evade others, but you can't deceive me.
We've known each other for billions of years, knowing each other inside and out. Rather than letting the Mother River benefit, it's better to fulfill me. I will carry your will and raze Nora and the Netherworld to the ground."
The Nightmare Will sneered:
"What makes you so confident that you can devour me? If it weren't for Nora and the Netherworld joining forces, how could my Nightmare have been defeated? Do you think the Abyss is stronger than the Nightmare?"
The Abyss Will said, "If that's the case, then let's merge and meet again."
The giant insect opened its abyssal maw, and a terrifying suction force emanated.
With great enemies in front and behind, the Nightmare Will made a decision in an instant.
It would return to the Nightmare World!
Since you all want to divide and devour me, let's see what you're capable of!
Boom! It and the Lord of Terror simultaneously burned their origins.
The aura after the sublimation caused the Abyss Will to change slightly.
"A dying struggle!"
Behind the two Abyss Supremes, another figure emerged.
Its body was deep blue, adorned with thousands of stars. Star trails connected, forming elusive and incomparably profound lines of fate, containing the wisdom of the world.
"Lord of Fallen Stars Oglian!"
The Lord of Terror's expression changed drastically.
"Aren't there only two Supremes in the Abyss?"
How could another one appear?
Could it be that it, like the Nightmare, was obtained by sacrificing all Sentient Beings?
The Abyss Will smiled and said:
"There are many things you don't know."
The Abyss's endless bloody battles, day and night,
weren't they all for the situation today? The Abyss appears mad and chaotic, engaging in endless war.
In reality, beneath this series of appearances,
lies the Abyss Will's accumulation and preparation over billions of years.
As the first Colossal World to resist the Mother of Darkness,
the Abyss is unwilling to merely be one of the Four Colossal Worlds.
It yearns to replace the Star Realm, yearns to conquer the Multiverse.
To some extent, its ideas align with Nora's.
The three Supremes besieged the Nightmare, and the great battle began! Until Nora Calendar 4002, two years later.
The Nightmare Will led its forces and broke through the encirclement.
At this time, the team only had 120 Lords left, a sharp drop of 30.
The Lord of Terror fell to the early stage of Level Eleven.
The Nightmare Will almost fell out of the late stage realm.
The Abyss Will looked at the shattered battlefield of heaven and earth, its expression slightly gloomy.
"Still couldn't keep it here."
This kind of Supreme who only wants to run is too difficult to trap.
Even the three Supremes are not enough.
This is already the most combat power it can currently mobilize.
The Lord of Chaotic Stars and the Lord of Buried Stars are still a bit away from the Supreme level.
The Abyss Will wants to devour the Nightmare to help these two, and also to improve itself. With this ebb and flow, the Abyss's strength will surpass the Star Realm.
"You can't escape."
Regrouping, the Abyss continued to pursue.
Nora Calendar 4017.
Outside the Pan-dimensional world, Star Ruin.
The Dark Sun Plane has disappeared without a trace.
A figure in a black robe rose from the ruins, exhaling a mouthful of foul air.
Adam felt the unparalleled Strength.
"Is this the feeling of Legendary? A complete transformation, like being reborn."
He stretched out his hand and pinched, taking off a large piece of darkness.
Endless dark power surged forth, transforming into a terrifying Black Sun.
In this Wu Yin universe, there were no spectators, no one to sing praises.
Time passed.
Adam felt a sense of emptiness within.
The reality after becoming a Legendary being was not as wonderful as he had imagined.
He had some understanding in his heart.
The title of Legendary needed to be set off by a civilization.
Only those who existed in the memories of Sentient Beings, existed in history books, and left a strong mark on the long river of time, were truly "Legendary."
Otherwise, no matter how powerful, they would be no different from the sun, moon, and stars in the deep space.
Lonely, desolate, and silent.
But he had no civilization.
He was a Black Wizard.
He was a clone of the Black Sun, a traitor to civilization.
Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear.
"Black Sun Adam."
A Wizard figure, also dressed in a black robe and wearing a divine crown, descended.
To be precise, it was a Gods.
Black Wizard Emperor Astar!
His main body was fighting in the Star Realm, but He had been secretly paying attention to the Black Sun.
"Yes, what is it?"
"I think you are a promising talent, would you like to join the Star Realm and work together for a great cause?"
"Not interested."
After saying that, Adam's Black Sun swept across the sky, obliterating the Black Wizard Emperor's projection.
"You, you... blasphemer!"
The Black Wizard Emperor's voice dissipated.
Adam walked aimlessly, darkness clearing the way for him.
In his heart, a voice seemed to echo.
He knew it was the darkness speaking.
The Mother of Darkness, master of the universe!
Compared to other Legendary Wizards, Adam's tribulation was very smooth.
He could feel the goodwill conveyed by the Mother of Darkness.
She seemed to think highly of him.
She felt that he had the potential to reach the Supreme.
She wanted him to act on her will.
But Black Sun was equally uninterested.
One day, he saw a bald man hurrying on the road.
He wore a golden robe, with a kind face and wise eyes.
"You are Black Sun Adam, aren't you?"
"Who are you?"
"This Venerable One is the Tian Hui Holy King."
"A citizen of the Golden Holy World?"
"Yes, but the Holy World has become history."
"Then where are you going?"
"I don't know, what about you?"
"I don't know either."
"Then why not go together? Anyway, neither of us has a place to go."
Black Sun hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay."
He felt that this Holy King seemed to understand everything in the world, and had no malice.
And was a top expert.
Following him wouldn't be bad.
Sauron Continent.
Blazing Sun Sky City.
A figure in a red robe stood in front of the window, gazing into the distant deep space.
A knock on the door broke Lord Eamon's thoughts.
"Enter."
The one who walked in was Levi in a white robe.
He asked, "There are still two hundred years until the expiration date of your bet with the God of Mischief Eriven. Do you need to kill Him in advance?"
Lord Eamon had already reached the Supreme.
He would then lower His Divinity and be demoted to the mortal world.
But that would be letting This Venerable One off too easily.
Levi's idea was to strike first and eliminate Him.
Previously, he was always worried about the Star Realm.
But now, there was no need to be so timid.
Lord Eamon said, "I'm not in a hurry. He's just a clown."
Levi said, "I'm just afraid this one will run away."
Lord Eamon said, "Killing Him is fine too. You can proceed from the overall situation of Nora, and don't need to mind This Venerable One."
Levi nodded.
"Then I'll decide for myself."
After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Lord Eamon, are you alright? Are you in danger of being lost?"
As of now, Hela had not appeared either.
Lord Eamon said, "This Venerable One is fine, and This Venerable One has prepared a backup plan. Even if This Venerable One is lost... This Venerable One thinks This Venerable One also has a way to return, so you don't need to worry."
Hearing that there was a backup plan, Levi was finally relieved.
"Okay, then you rest."
"Hahaha, rest? Loomon Duke and Ice Sea Witch become Legendary on the same day, their light reaching the heavens, a rare sight throughout the ages. Today, we must observe this."
Two new and old leaders of Nora came to the outside world.
The sky of Sauron Continent was already a world of ice and fire.
On the left, the Ice Sea Witch, like a fairy-tale princess, draped in snow-white skin, with the Milky Way flowing upstream, freezing into a magnificent spiral staircase reaching the sky under the cold air.
She ascended the steps, her face resolute.
On the right, Loomon Duke transformed into a Lava Monarch, with earth fire erupting and lava flowing, a pair of crimson fists rising to the sky, tearing through the firmament and entering the Legendary path.
"Two Legendaries on the same day, unbelievable!"
"Yes, I've never seen such a sight."
The high-level officials and Sentient Beings were all watching and praying.
After the celestial phenomena dissipated, Levi and Lord Eamon waited silently.
A month later, two magnificent rainbow bridges stretched from the deep space.
Levi applauded and said, "Congratulations to both of you on proving your Legend again!"
Lord Eamon also joked for once, "The two of you are stronger than the Four Emperors, hahaha."
The value of dual cultivation Legendaries had already been proven in the previous wars.
Although the difficulty was indeed great.
But for Legendary reincarnations, relying on the golden age, there was a good chance of achieving it.
As a Legendary reincarnation.
With their ages, they should have become Legendary long ago.
However, Loomon took a detour to cultivate as a Knight, and the Ice Sea Witch also had some changes.
That's why it was delayed until now, but it's not too late.
Loomon Duke half-jokingly said, "Lord Eamon, let me state this first.
I am of the Earth Faction.
The Combustion Faction is too strong, I have to balance it out."
