Chapter 2885: Chapter 2886: Survival in the Crevices
Although Angel is not currently in the Crystal Origin of Dreams, he sees the scene through the Gate of Dreams.
Why did two spider monsters explode out?
Are they split, or are they newly generated? Or is it a kind of avatar ability?
In his bewilderment, Angel does not forget to use the Dream Conch to pull the slough into the Crystal Origin of Dreams.
After Laplace receives the slough, she immediately bombs one-fifth of the scales at the spider monster, targeting the newly born spider monster.
The reason for not detonating all the slough at once is to test the strength of the newly born spider monster. How much of the scale bombing can it withstand?
The newly born spider monster is very fast, almost comparable to the original one. But no matter how fast, under the bombardment resembling a sky net, it cannot escape.
With a huge roar, the newly born spider monster is directly bombed to Corpse Mountain, raising countless monster carcasses.
However, as the remnants fall like rain, revealing the spider monster inside, Laplace and Angel fall silent.
The spider monster indeed suffered injuries, covered with various wounds, but compared to the one-fifth scale bombardment used by Laplace, these wounds are very slight.
Laplace grits her teeth, and while the spider monster is still reeling, she detonates the remaining slough all at once.
The target is still the newly born spider monster.
This time the explosion is several times more intense than before, causing Corpse Mountain to collapse a thousand meters.
When the smoke dissipates and the dust settles, Laplace looks at the fragmented spider monster carcass below and finally breathes a sigh of relief.
At least, it can still be killed.
After killing the newly born spider monster, Laplace receives Angelâs replenishment of slough again. She does not hesitate and immediately targets the spider monster in the air.
Previously, the spider monster in the air did not join the other spider monster in attacking Laplace, not because it spared Laplace, but because... it was weaving a net.
Clearly unsupported sky, in the eyes of the spider monster, appears like a curtain where any area can attach silk threads.
In just dozens of seconds, the threads in the sky have formed a circle of webs. Moreover, the webs are expanding outward circle after circle.
The spider monster weaving webs might be for its own backup or to restrict Laplaceâs actions... Whatever the reason, it indicates the webâs tenacity and sharpness from the side.
Looking at the interlaced webs in the sky, Laplace has no doubt that if she accidentally charges into the web, her body will definitely be sliced into countless pieces.
Laplace is not foolish; knowing the sharpness of the web, she naturally wonât rush into it. Instead, she moves closer to initiate an attack on the spider monster.
This time, Laplace does not hesitate at all, using her strongest attack! She detonates the entire slough!
Angel watches the earth-shattering bombardment through the Gate of Dreams, contemplating deeply. Such terrifying attacks would be hard to withstand, even in the Wizardsâ Realm. Surely, the spider monster must be doomed this time?
When the flames of the explosion fade, the first thing Angel sees is the shattered web... But only a small part is shattered, less than one-twentieth, showing the sturdiness of the web.
Soon after, Angel sees the spider monsterâs remains, all its remnants hanging on the web, making it hard to ignore.
However, despite seeing the spider monsterâs "body," Angel feels something odd.
Has the Eliminator just died? Is it really resolved so simply? Didnât it become two before?
As Angel muses, the spider monsterâs remains lightly move...
Seconds laterâ
When the spider monsterâs remains reassemble and another spider monster appears on the web in the sky, Angel is not surprised, rather he feels... Somehow this feels right.
Though his notion has been a bit misled, Angelâs hands donât hesitate to continue supplying Laplace with slough.
Time passes little by little, and as Angel supplies Laplace with slough for the sixth time, he has discerned some features of the spider monster.
First, this spider monster has intelligence, even though he hasnât communicated with it, the combat details reveal that its intelligence might not be low.
Second, the spider monster has a very high comprehensive physical quality, with strong speed, power, and defense. Just talking about defense, among the magical creatures Angel has encountered, only Leviathan Hall and Seed can compare to it.
Third, when the main body is killed, a new spider monster appears immediately. Angel hasnât discerned a solution for this ability yet, but heâs sure itâs not splitting, more like growth.
The feature of splitting is that the new life created by splitting has much lower strength than the main body. However, these âsplitsâ created by the spider monster have strength no less than the main body, and their comprehensive physical qualities are almost identical to the main body.
The only difference is the following point.
Fourth, when a split is killed, it wonât resurrect. But when the main body is killed, splits will endlessly grow.
Just like now, Laplace is focused on killing the main body, which has already been killed four times, yet the main body revives perfectly each time while splits have simultaneously appeared four times.
These four splits, along with the main body, are now hanging on the web in the sky, glaring at Laplace.
This ability is very powerful and peculiar; to this day, Angel still hasnât seen a weakness in it... it seems entirely unrestricted, with endless avatars.
When Angel hands the slough to Laplace for the seventh time, Laplace doesnât attack, instead descends from the sky into the safe zone.
Angel thinks Laplace might be tired and needs to rest in the safe zone; but after a while, with Laplace not exiting the safe zone, Angel instantly understands that Laplace might have something to tell him.
Perhaps Laplace is prepared to give up? If it were him, facing endless avatars without finding a flaw, he might also give up.
Angel sighs lightly in his heart, closes his eyes, and enters the Crystal Origin of Dreams.
When Angel appears in the safe zone, Laplace is gazing at the sky.
Angel also gazes, seeing the spider monster not pursuing Laplace, but rather the four splits and one main body are weaving the web quickly.
It seems theyâre planning to turn the entire sky into a "grid."
"Should we continue fighting?" Angel softly asks.
Angel is already prepared for Laplaceâs retreat; he doesnât blame her, itâs just that these Eliminators have strange abilities. Breaking through the Eliminatorâs blockade is still too difficult with Angelâs current abilities.
Even without the appearance of massive beasts, just relying on a spider monster with unique abilities forces Angel to retreat.
Expand the Wilderness of Dreams territory?
For now, letâs leave it be.
Seeing Laplace still gazing at the sky without speaking, Angel said softly, "Itâs okay. I didnât expect to truly win against the Eliminators from the start. Youâve already impressed me by reaching this point."
After a pause, Angel continued, "Whether weâre successful or not, Iâll give you an explanation after we leave here."
Angel spoke for quite a while, then Laplace finally opened her mouth: "Itâs different."
"Ah?" Angel looked at Laplace in confusion: "Whatâs different?"
Laplace: "This Magic Monster is different from those before... Iâm very sure."
The spider Magic Monster is different from the previous army of Magic Monsters? Angel recalled Laplace mentioning this before, though at the time, she didnât elaborate.
Now, she brought up the topic again, could it be that she discovered something?
Curious, Angel asked, "How is it different?"
Laplace finally turned her head, looking at Angel: "Those previous Magic Monsters, I donât know whether theyâre the so-called Eliminators, but you said theyâre from the Dream Realm, and I believe you."
"But this spider Magic Monster is different; itâs not like itâs from the Dream Realm."
Angel originally thought Laplace would say the strength or intelligence was different, but didnât expect Laplace to drop such a bombshell.
"Spider Magic Monster isnât from the Dream Realm?!" Angelâs expression was full of surprise.
If itâs not an Eliminator from the Dream Realm, could this spider Magic Monster be a creature from the Void? Did they just have bad luck and accidentally encounter it?
Angel pondered a moment, then asked: "How are you sure itâs not from the Dream Realm?"
Laplace: "Aura, the aura is completely different."
Laplace glanced at Angel: "Like your aura, the Sageâs aura; in my eyes, theyâre the same, all auras from the Wizardsâ Realm."
"And those previous Magic Monsters, their auras were ethereal and faint, even with a hint of Illusion taste, unlike any Magical Creature Iâve encountered. You said they were Magic Monsters from the Dream Realm, and I believe you."
"But this spider Magic Monster is different. Its aura, after I continuously killed its true form several times, I already sensed it."
Laplace whispered as she spoke: "Itâs not from the Dream Realm, nor is it from the Wizardsâ Realm, rather... the Mirror World."
Angel was just surprised before, but now he stepped back in shock: "Itâs a Magic Monster from the Mirror World?! Are you sure?"
Laplace nodded: "Though its aura is somewhat abnormal, not like the biological aura from the Mirror Domain Iâm in, when it splits, the energy core produced is Aggregation Energy, Iâm very sure I didnât sense wrong."
Angel naturally trusts Laplaceâs judgment, and upon deeper thought, he also believes this matter is highly possible.
Be it the Wilderness of Dreams, the Wilderness of Dreams again, or todayâs Crystal Origin of Dreams, theyâre all actually crevices between different worlds.
The Wilderness of Dreams is a crevice among the Wizardsâ Realm, the Dream Realm, and the Nightmare Realm.
The Wilderness of Dreams again is a crevice among the Abyss, the Dream Realm, and the Nightmare Realm.
The Crystal Origin of Dreams is a crevice among the Mirror World, the Dream Realm, and the Nightmare Realm.
Given these crevices among three worlds, there are channels to the Dream Realm and the Nightmare Realm, and there must correspondingly be channels to the Wizardsâ Realm, Abyss, and Mirror World.
Thus, Eliminators could very well come from three worlds.
Itâs just that in the Nightmare Realm, Angel is a "notable figure", so the Nightmare Realmâs Eliminators donât require consideration. But Eliminators from the other two realms are quite possible.
Back during the establishment of the Wilderness of Dreams, the Dream Realm sent Eliminators, which were defeated by Shava. The intentions of the Wizardsâ Realm perhaps realized they couldnât deal with Shava and simply withdrew, not sending Eliminators from the Wizardsâ Realm to make fools of themselves.
And for the Wilderness of Dreams again... the Dream Realmâs Eliminators directly tore it apart, so the Abyss didnât need to send any Eliminators.
But now the Crystal Origin of Dreams is different, the Dream Realmâs Eliminators, being the initial army of Magic Monsters, were eradicated by Laplace.
The Dream Realmâs Eliminators are barely dealt with, so naturally, the Mirror Worldâs Eliminators emerge on cue.
This spider Magic Monster is the Eliminator sent by the Mirror World!
After realizing this, Angel felt deeply sentimental.
The first establishment of the Wilderness of Dreams was far too easy, leading him to miss out on much intelligence for mapping new territories, what encounters, entanglements, could there be gambling, how many sidesâ Eliminators... all these issues were unknown to him.
Only this time, by personally establishing the Crystal Origin of Dreams, these previously overlooked issues were addressed one by one.
While feeling sentimental, Angel also felt somewhat at ease.
This timeâs creation of the Crystal Origin of Dreams was too rushed; everything starts anew, and he had to accept every obstacle he encountered. Now, even if the construction of the Crystal Origin of Dreams fails, Angel accepts it.
At least, he learned the difficulties in expanding territories, and also learned Eliminators do not only come from the Dream Realm; all this intelligence is extremely useful.
When future opportunities arise to expand his map again, he will naturally make more comprehensive preparations.
Just as Angel was expressing his relief and indicating heâd give up, on the other side, Laplace turned towards him, looking puzzled: "When did I say I was going to give up?"
Angel was taken aback. Werenât your words an indication of giving up?
Laplace: "Since Iâve confirmed this spider Magic Monster is a creature of the Mirror World, I naturally have a way to deal with it. However, I need you to cooperate with me."
Angel was helpless when he talked about giving up. If there really is a chance to drive away the Eliminators, he wouldnât give up. Now that Laplace says thereâs a way to deal with the spider Magic Monster, Angel immediately regains his spirit:
"How do I cooperate?"
Laplace: "The avatars you see are actually a type of variation of the Temporal Body."
Angel: "So?"
Laplace: "The essence of the Temporal Body is actually memory. Previously, when I killed a split of the spider Magic Monster, I could clearly perceive that indeed memory detached from the split after its death. Moreover, this memory is almost identical to the memory from the Sea of Void Mirror."
That is to say, the spider Magic Monster is also a creature from the Sea of Void Mirror, though perhaps not from the Mirror Domain Laplace resides in, but another Mirror Domainâs Sea of Void Mirror.
The spider Magic Monster absorbs the memory of the Sea of Void Mirror to create Temporal Bodies; these Temporal Bodies are what we call the splits.
"To deal with Temporal Bodies centered around memory, I have a very effective method."
Angel: "Whatâs the method?"
Laplace said quietly: "...Forest of Memories."
