Chapter 531: Deformed Child
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Roy looked so insignificant in this starry sky. Just as he was looking around, TragâOulâs voice sounded again.
âWelcome to my dream, Demon King Osiris!â
With this voice, among the distant stars, hundreds of bright stars could be seen shining at the same time. If these shining stars were connected with each other, one would find that they formed a constellation, an enormous constellation that meandered like a long dragon!
âDream? Are all you world-soul titansâ dreams like this?â Roy clicked his tongue and sighed. âTo be honest, although I can fly into space and out of the world now, Iâve never done it before. I have to thank you for letting me experience it⊠Itâs just that your dream is a little distorted compared to true space. This spatial scale isnât right at all!â
Roy pointed at the huge sun beside him and the planet under his feet. âTo be able to see such a big sun means that the position of the planet is very close to the sun. In that case, this planet should have long burned into a big fireball⊠It seems like you havenât really left the planet and gone out of the world to observe. Otherwise, you wouldnât have made this mistake!â
Roy thought, It seems like TragOul hasnât fully matured as a world-soul titan.
After hearing what Roy said, TragâOul didnât say anything. But the next second, the huge sun was pulled far away. It seemed like TragâOul was correcting his mistake, or rather, he was adjusting his cognition of the outside worldâŠ
This was his dream. Everything Roy saw here stemmed from TragâOulâs cognitionâŠ
âOkay. Although I donât know what method you used to pull me into your dream, what are you going to do next?â Roy asked curiously. âAttack me?â
âYouâve guessed right!â TragâOulâs voice rang out. At the same time, the shining dragon-shaped constellation in the distance glowed, and an enormous dragon-shaped phantom began to appear with the constellation as the foundation. It had a body that spread tens of thousands of kilometers, and the body twisted and entangled together to form a wriggling appearance.
The strange-looking dragon head slowly rose. The dragon head was covered by countless tentacles, making it impossible to see TragâOulâs appearance clearly. Only his eyes, hidden in the tentacles, began to shine.
The next second, countless stars in the distance turned into sharp spears and shot at Roy.
Roy frowned. He found that he couldnât dodge this large-scale attack, so he could only condense a black ice wall in front of him, intending to block the attacks of these starlight spears. But when he tried to use his magic power to condense an ice wall, he found that he couldnât create it at all!
With this delay, the rapidly flying starlight spears pierced through Royâs body!
The intense pain caused Royâs face to distort. He looked at his body and found that the densely-packed holes were slowly healing.
Illusion? Tm not actually injured? Roy pondered. But this pain is real. Ifits really an illusion, why didnât I wake up from the stimulation?
Moreover, I couldnât use mypowerjust now. Whatâs going on?
Roy thought that there must be some strange rules in TragâOulâs peculiar dream.
But TragâOul obviously wouldnât explain anything to Roy, his opponent. The villains in movies who kept talking to the main character and showing off their abilities wouldnât appear here. TragâOul only condensed countless starlight spears and shot them at Roy from afar. Every attack pierced countless holes in his demon body, causing him immense pain, but these injuries would always slowly recover.
Roy didnât wait for death. He tried switching to other powers to block TragâOulâs attacks, but without exception, he failed. He couldnât use any of his mutated elemental powers here.
After experimenting for a while, he found that he could still use pure elemental power!
Whats going on? Roy frowned. Considering what happened with the sun being pulled awayjust now, could it be that all powers beyond TragOulâs cognition canât materialize in this dream?
Youâll know when you try. Roy thought about it. After enduring another round of TragâOulâs attacks, he suddenly said to him, âDo you know? The light of a star often takes a long time to reach a planet because the distance between them is very far, but the speed of light is fixed!â
As soon as he finished speaking, the starlight spears suddenly stopped!
To be precise, they didnât stop but became too slow. They shot over from
TragâOulâs position in the distance. Although they were flying forward, they were still far from reaching Roy.
Seeing this, he was shocked and finally understood. âTragâOul! Youâre in your cradle, so your cognition of the universe comes from your imagination, right?â
TragâOul didnât deny it. âThatâs right. In this dream, anything beyond my cognition cannot materialize. But at the same time, if you say something, it can change my cognition!â
âCan words change all things?â Roy asked curiously.
âNo, only truths!â TragâOul said. âIf you want to spout nonsense, then donât bother trying to be clever!â
Roy was stunned for a moment before laughing. âHa, so youâre actually obtaining âknowledgeâ from me? Then, how do you judge that this âknowledgeâ is correct?â
âTalent!â TragâOul replied simply. âThis is the talent of world-soul titans! We can sense âtruthâ!â
Are world-soul titans that awesome? Roy was a little stunned. He understood. It meant that if someone said something correct that conformed to the rules of the world, TragâOul would be able to obtain âknowledgeâ about the rules of this part of the world.
Was this a good thing for Roy? No, it wasnât!
He tried to condense a fireball, a simple elemental fireball, and then threw it at TragâOul. As a result, he saw the fireball flying forward, but it was impossible to reach where TragâOul was. Because in his sentence just now, after TragâOul recognized the concepts of âlight speedâ and âplanet distanceâ, it meant that his entire dream world had changed. This change was not only for him but also for Roy. The distance between him and Roy was too far, and the starlight spears couldnât hit Roy in a short time. Similarly, no attack from Roy could hit TragâOul!
Unless TragâOul took the initiative to close the distanceâŠ
But Roy could also tell that TragâOul had a judgment of his own strength. He might have felt that he wasnât Royâs match, so he didnât seek to fight him at close range. In fact, Royâs injuries and recovery ability were only out of his judgment and cognition of Roy.
He felt that his strength might not be as good as Royâs, so the starlight spears had injured Roy but didnât kill him. At the same time, he knew that demons had astonishing recovery abilities, so Royâs injuries could also recover. But TragâOul might not have a clear understanding of this recovery ability, so it was much slower.
Clearly, TragâOul should be a âdeformed childâ! It was because he was a world-soul titan born in an artificial world. A world-soul titan born like this was definitely different from ordinary world-soul titans! This was because the rules of an artificial world were different from those of a natural world!
The power of a world-soul titan came from the world itself, but Inarius and Lilith had created Sanctuary with the Worldstone. They had definitely modified the rules of Sanctuary. Not to mention anything else, there were so many nephalem here.
Even if angels and demons combined, it was very difficult for them to give birth to offspring. This had long been proven in other worlds. In order to create offspring, Inarius and Lilith must have made relevant modifications, which was why they could give birth to children. Not only them, but even the angels and demons who had hidden in Sanctuary together also gave birth to offspring under these rules.
The children of Inarius and Lilith, as well as the children of other angels and demons, these descendants altogether were the reason why the nephalem truly became a race.
Moreover, these modified rules could continue to be adjusted. In order to suppress the power of the nephalem, Inarius had adjusted the frequency of the Worldstone, and the nephalem had become much weaker.
It was precisely because of these strange rules that it was difficult for world-soul titans like TragâOul to mature. The power of world-soul titans stemmed from knowledge and truth, and they became stronger through their cognition of the world and knowledge. The various adjustments to the rules of the artificial world of Sanctuary clearly affected TragâOulâs growth.
But if Roy didnât tell him knowledge, Roy could only use the same deformed knowledge to fight TragâOul under his deformed cognition!
It was a little like a paradoxâŠ
After Roy figured this out, he felt an unprecedented headache. World-soul titans were all powerful and abnormal. He was already mentally prepared, but he didnât expect this situation.
After understanding this, he began to consider how to break out of this situationâŠ
