"Joseph didn't know much. He only knew they were going to perform a sacrifice here and summon something. As for what they were summoning, he couldn't say," Silas said, carefully measuring his words, as if these words truly came from Joseph's mouth.
Jeros didn't suspect anything; he was now deep in thought.
Having said everything he needed to say, Silas couldn't resist any longer. His heavy eyelids finally fell shut, and Silas slumped to the side, leaning against the chair and falling asleep.
Jeros then snapped out of his thoughts, stood, walked to Silas's side, reached out, loosened Silas's collar, looked at the two dark handprints on his neck, and fell silent.
Orson, seeing this, couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitch. "My heavens, what happened?"
"He probably nearly strangled himself during the hypnotist's attack," Jeros explained, then said to Orson, "Notify Sister Marlene to escort Silas home to rest."
"Yes, Master!" Orson said, turning to leave.
Jeros turned his head and looked at the sleeping Silas, a rare hint of approval flashing across his face. "Little fellow, your efforts will earn a corresponding reward."
In the dream world, Silas stood on the deck, looking at the grey world around him, and began to analyze the previous events.
"Through the experience of that attack, I can know that even if I'm not in that position, not wearing this armor, as long as I'm in a dream, I can still exercise complete control."
During the hypnotist's attack, Silas's consciousness had been suppressed by the hypnosis at the beginning. He thought he was in the real world, and this cognitive obstruction suppressed his instincts.
But when he heard the hypnotist's words, he suddenly realized he was in a dream.
In that instant, he felt countless powers appearing in his will, so he easily invalidated all of the hypnotist's attacks.
Afterward, he used his authority to cross the dream and summon his warship.
The connection between the two allowed the warship to obtain precise coordinates. Thus, it broke through the grey wall and entered the dream world, finding the nightmare where Silas was.
As the warship approached, Silas's divine body located on the warship returned, instantly merging with Silas.
"This experience was very valuable and contains significant clues and knowledge."
"First of all, it can now be confirmed that this warship can freely navigate the dream world as long as it has precise guidance. It can appear in anyone's dream."
"Second: As a ruler of dreams, I can freely control anyone's dream and manifest within it. But due to the principle of 'ignorance is bliss,' my authority to deal real damage in the dream is limited to those mystics who are related to dreams. Other ordinary people, or those whose knowledge contains nothing related to dreams, can only be shown, not harmed."
"Third: It's not just me; my warriors can also traverse through dreams. If that's the case, then I can sit on the throne with great authority, and the warriors will be messengers passing on my messages and orders in the future. Hmm, this is more in line with my persona as a deity."
"Finally, through these things, I can make a highly reliable judgment. I, as a god in the dream, can also help me in reality with some necessary deterrence. The mere manifestation of this level of existence will cause those mystics prone to imagining things to have a huge respect."
"This time, I really made a profit!" Thinking this, Silas felt excited.
After analyzing the events of the second attack, his thoughts continued forward, to the time of the first attack.
"My knowledge of sound has always existed in a primitive form. I can only hear some sounds that others can't hear, and let others hear some sounds they shouldn't. My knowledge related to combat is a complete blank."
"This time is a huge breakthrough. Sound waves are blades. I have now mastered the ripples of the bell toll. Through these ripples transformed into blades, I can not only cut through mystical spiritual energy, but also transform them into physical blades if used properly, just like those two blind qin players in Kung Fu."
"In the future, as my knowledge deepens, I can gain great convenience and combat power through sound, including sonar-like echo location, forming invisible attacks through sound waves, hypnotizing through sound, forming illusions, and even creating sound-wave blades and sound-wave cannons."
Through his divine vision, combined with his previous experiences, Silas thoroughly saw through this mystical path of development through sound.
"Now I can only control the ripples of the bell toll. To master the ripples of more things, I need to master more knowledge related to vibration, conduction, and materials. This knowledge can allow me to master the sounds emitted by more items, making this power to master sound more useful."
"But before that, I must first thoroughly understand the sound waves of the bell toll. Only by completely comprehending the sound of one item can I be more composed and in control when analyzing the sounds of other items."
Thinking this, Silas raised his head, his gaze falling upon the black bell at the top of the temple.
At that moment, a transparent soul collided with the bell. Dong! A distant, magnificent, solemn sound spread out, transmitting to the entire dream world.
Silas's eyes clearly saw the massive amount of ripples within it. With his divine vision, he also saw some existences within the ripples that he had never known or seen before.
These ripples had countless minute particles inside. It was these constantly vibrating particles that were conducting and spreading outwards, transmitting the bell's sound farther.
As they were transmitted, these particles would gradually integrate into the air, still carrying intense vibrations.
These vibrations would gradually stabilize as they merged with the air, finally disappearing completely.
"These particles, are they spiritual energy?" Silas's divine vision directly saw through the true nature of these particles.
Silas directly soared into the air and came beside the bell, carefully looking at the black bell, looking at the detailed patterns on it and the surrounding particles that had not yet dissipated, realizing, "So that's how it is. The essence of the soul is actually the manifestation of spiritual energy. The soul colliding with the bell is essentially sound emitted through spiritual energy. This sound possesses stronger transmission and piercing power and is also prone to causing vibrations on both the physical and spiritual levels. The soul sound I heard is actually the vibration of my own spiritual energy."
Thinking this, Silas widened his eyes and began to deeply analyze this bell, because he discovered that if he could analyze its principles, he could even simulate the sound of this bell through spiritual energy.
At that time, his ability to protect himself would be completely different. Then he could not only make people hear the sound of the soul but also turn that sound into a blade that could tear the soul apart!
