The nightmare has not been truly born.
As a symbolic force extended by the mysterious Sandman, it requires specific factors to manifest itself in a personalized will.
This is a process of pursuing "freedom".
Symbolizes the nightmare to escape from dreams and become an independent being.
Because nightmare itself is part of the Sandman, no matter how powerful the Sandman is, he cannot deal with himself.
So in endless time, when nightmare appears every time, the Sandman will choose his own warrior.
The mysterious existence needs to rely on others to break the nightmare and regroup it into the dream dimension.
This is a war without an end.
As long as the Sandman is still there, it will never end.
This time, before Nightmare is independent, the Sandman has chosen his own warrior as before.
The stage magician with mysterious blood flowing in his body, and Zatanna Zatala, who is also the mysterious caster of the spell.
And Merlin Riley.
A dead man.
After Merlin left, Zatanna, who was forced to face the invasion of nightmare alone, made a dangerous decision.
She used the ritual of the Dream Gate to transfer the power of nightmare to Asgard's territory, trying to seal the birth of the nightmare with the hands of the Divine Realm people.
Everything went well in the first half of the plan.
But something went wrong in the second half.
While Zatanna is preparing to cut off the connection between the dream gate and her dream world, she encounters a problem.
The nightmare has not been born yet.
But its personalized will has been formed ahead of schedule.
Zatanna is trapped in the infinite nightmare of nightmare, experiencing one nightmare after another while being killed and resurrection.
Nightmare wants to defeat her will and take over her body to control the small dream world that Zatanna has.
That was the "safe house" created by the Sandman with Dream Sand for Zatanna and Merlin.
As long as you control there, Nightmare will master a springboard to jump to the infinite real world.
All dimensions Zatanna can go to will become a hunting ground for nightmare.
Of course, trapping Zatanna with infinite nightmare is not just for this purpose.
Nightmare manipulated nightmares in Neffolheim to absorb enough creature fears, and it also takes time to use these fears to shape itself a body that can come to life.
spirit...
Meat...
Only when the two are combined into one can Nightmare be considered a truly free escape from the Sandman and become an independent and free individual.
The border forest of Neforheim has been completely pulled into the world of nightmares, and the walls of reality and dreams have been penetrated, and those twisted monsters that only appear in dreams are entrenched on this intertwined land.
It was the first legion created by Nightmare, guarding the Nightmare Tree located on the side of the Underworld.
That is the "maternal nest" that nurtures nightmares.
It will be born from the tree that is full of nightmares and fears.
The pale light shone in this dark forest, but it did not dispel the darkness, but instead made the darkness look even more gloomy and more dangerous.
And the interlaced halos in the sky are shining, sometimes like the blood-colored setting sun, sometimes like the cold winter.
Nothing is not something that makes people feel good.
That is the essence of a nightmare.
The evil spirits born in "evil".
"Swish!"
On the edge of this nightmare world, Loki waved the spear in his hand, and he used the Eternal Spear as a staff.
A nightmare hound that pounced on him was cut off his head as the green light waving.
The evil thing dissipated into black fragments in mid-air, as if it had never appeared before.
"Bang"
The rune guards behind Loki formed a circle, their robes fluttered, and the golden rune power swayed everywhere, like a storm shining with golden light.
Under the manipulation of a host, under his roar, the golden flames formed a ring of fire and rolled out in all directions.
Any nightmare monster that touches the golden flame will be burned clean.
Under the bombardment of these Asgard rune guards, woods as big as two football fields were burned to pieces.
"The source of the nightmare is there!"
Rocky jumped onto a rock and looked into the depths of the forest in the distance, where there was a red light that was beating like a beating heart.
"Something terrible is nurturing, we have to ruin it!"
"We are not strong enough! Your Highness."
The rune guard who presided over the purification array shouted at Loki:
"There are too many of these monsters, we have to wait for support!"
"I have an idea."
Loki was silent for a moment, and he said to the rune guards behind him:
"You guys come and attract these monsters, and I can cross this ghost creature from the shadows."
"But you lack the power to destroy evil, Your Highness!"
The old man shouted:
"We can't allow you to take risks, you are not Thor, you..."
"Enough!"
A trace of irritability flashed in Loki's heart. He raised the spear in his hand. In the flash of the streaming light, a golden light of lightning stabbed out from Loki's hand, burning a roaring monster to ashes.
"clang"
The golden eternal spear was pointing on the rock, and the beating light spread out in all directions like a shocking sound wave.
Under the reflection of that light, a trace of determination flashed across Loki's face.
He said:
"The Father gave me the right to use the Eternal Spewl to let me protect his country for him!"
"I may not be as brave as my brother, nor as powerful as him, but with Gangniel in hand, I am just a mere evil spirit that has not yet been nurtured..."
There was a fire burning inside Rocky.
He has had enough of every time he wants to do something, others will compare him to Thor.
He didn't want to live as Thor's shadow anymore.
"I've made a decision!"
Loki held the Eternal Gun, and he was expressionless and shouted to the rune guards behind him in a cold and unquestionable voice:
"In the name of Odin, I order you to do what I say!"
Rune Guards, look at me, look at you.
Finally, the old man in the lead nodded with gritted teeth.
A golden flame soared into the sky the next moment.
The gorgeous light scattered towards the ground like a feather from the sky.
The scene was extremely grand, but it was not the best way to fight in this situation.
This is to lure the enemy!
The entire Nightmare Forest was attracted by the fire. The monsters born in the nightmare roared and rushed towards the guards from all directions, while Loki jumped into the shadow.
As the god of pranks, his ability to hide himself is extremely powerful.
He looked back at the direction where the light was waving.
He knew very well that leaving the rune guards there to lure the enemy is to let them die...
If it were Thor, he would never have done that.
If it was his brother...
"Enough!"
Loki slapped himself hard and calmed down.
Now is not the time to learn from Thor.
He carried the Eternal Spel and walked through the forest at an extremely fast speed. In just a few minutes, Loki arrived at the border of Neforheim.
He and Thor ventured from here to jump into the hell dimension, and Thor was also expelled from Odin here.
The two brothers are really destined to be with this ghost place.
"Hey, where is there a woman?"
Loki hid under the swaying branches of the Nightmare Tree, like hiding in the deep sea, avoiding a predatory octopus.
He looked up and saw that in front of the nightmare tree there was a woman in a black and white tuxedo, fishnet stockings and high boots.
She was being bound by the vines, as if she was about to be dragged into the nightmare tree.
It seems that it will become the nourishment for the damn evil tree in the next moment.
That should be an earthling...
How could she come here?
This question flashed through Loki's mind.
It was quickly thrown behind the head.
Loki didn't care who this woman was, nor what she was going to do.
The young prince stared at the indescribable dark red nightmare tree in front of him. He could see a ball of light beating like a heart on the trunk of the low nightmare tree.
The dark red ones, like the mother's uterus, are filled with a strange sacredness in evil.
As the light jumped, a thin human figure could be vaguely seen.
The evil spirit is personalizing!
As one of Asgard's strongest spell casters, Loki knew what to do now when he saw this scene.
"Brother, watch it!"
Loki stood up from his hideout and raised the golden spear in his hand. At the tip of Gangniel's spear, there were endless golden lightning buzzing.
"I can be a hero, like you..."
"I can save the kingdom, and surpass you..."
“I am qualified to inherit all this…”
"Witness me!"
"Brother, witness me!"
"boom"
Amid Loki's roar, the golden lightning turned into a leaping lightning arrow, and flew out from the tip of Gangniel's spear, hitting the dark red light ball in the center of the nightmare tree at the moment it shot out.
The divine power belonging to Odin was storming and bursting out, just like the roar of the God King.
Amid the golden sparks, Nightmare let out a shrill scream.
It has not yet been conceived. Facing this golden thunder with great positive energy and destructive power, it feels like it has been thrown into the furnace of all things to burn.
But to be honest, Loki can't exert the power of the Eternal Spel at all...
If you have to compare.
The light he threw in front of him was like a difference between a spark and a sun compared to the lightning that Odin hit Merlin at that time.
If Odin is here, this blow can completely smooth out the nightmare tree.
This polluted forest was wiped out from the earth.
This golden stream of light was not even as good as the lightning thrown by Thor...
But this cannot be blamed on Loki. He is not a real Asgardian, so it is difficult for him to condense a true divine nature.
What's more, weapons of Gangniel are indeed not something that everyone can use.
But even so, this blow will really hurt Nightmare.
The already formed consciousness body roared and gathered the power of nightmare and blasted towards Loki, who was attacking it. Loki held a golden spear and transformed into more than a dozen vivid figures in the continuous flash.
It looks very much like Ecken.
But unfortunately, this is just a simple illusion.
"Bang"
Nightmare faces the threat of being crushed to pieces, absorbs all its power to resist Gangnier's bombardment, which gives the trapped Zatanna a chance.
The pale-faced lady magician danced a dagger out of her hand, cut off the vines that were entangled with her, and then ran forward a few steps.
The entangled vines roared out of the nightmare tree like a poisonous snake, wrapped around Zatanna's ankle, and smashed Miss Magic to the ground.
All his knees were bleeding, and several blood marks were also wiped from his beautiful face.
But the young lady gritted her teeth and threw out the old prints in her palm.
The dream eater was summoned, and those spirits like twisted bees roared on the vines, swallowing the power of the nightmare hungrily.
The door to dream is being weakened.
The talismans were beating and darkening.
Zatanna screamed like a female wolf, she had never used magic so rudely.
As the magic blade that gathered and dispersed was waving, the vines around her were cut off.
She was free again.
She ran towards the dream gate that was about to collapse.
She was going to escape back to her dream world before nightmare was born.
The Asgardian holding a golden spear is too weak...
He could not use the power of the weapon in his hand at all, and he could not stop the nightmare...
"Bang"
Just as Zatanna rushed to the dream gate, the nightmare tree, which was constantly bombarded by golden lightning, swayed and let out a roar.
In Loki's terrified gaze, the roots of the nightmare tree tore the ground and rose up like a real tree man.
It roared and waved the flying vines all over the sky, and blew towards Loki like a heavy hammer.
The vine split in the air, turning into two, turning into four, and completely blocked all directions of Loki's dodging in an instant.
Amid the sharp laughter of the nightmare, vines mixed with ominous power were smashed down on their heads.
If this is broken...
"boom"
Loki raised his head in despair and raised the eternal gun in his hand. The lightning and lightning flying all over the sky hit the terrifying tree, and the scene was grand.
Unfortunately, the lightning he waved...
No soul.
It's just that there is a false appearance.
Facing an evil god who is about to be nurtured, those lightning can only make it feel pain, but cannot kill it.
"Your world, all worlds!"
"It's my turn!"
The sharp hiss of nightmare echoed in this ghostly land. On the torso of the Nightmare Tree, the nightmare's fingers had torn the light, and perhaps the next moment, it would appear on the land of Asgard.
"No!"
Loki's face twisted, and he waved his spear wildly, trying to stop the scene.
"Not this! No!"
His Highness the Prince roared, this was not the ending he imagined.
"Bang"
Just at this moment.
A warm hand was placed on Loki's shoulder, and the familiar, somewhat disgusting sound.
"My son..."
"Weapons are not used like this!"
Odin's finger was held on the Eternal Spear, and the lightning that jumped at the top of the legendary magic weapon expanded dozens of times at this moment, and the nightmare also screamed.
It manipulated the nightmare tree and turned around and ran.
The God King is here...
Odin is here!
run!
otherwise...
die...
"You broke into my house, injured my people, and intimidated my son..."
In the haunting of the golden light, the god king Odin raised the eternal gun.
He pulled his body apart like an open battle bow.
The flames burned, but the power of Gangniel being thrown out made Nightmare feel the oppression of lifelessness.
This world...
It's not a place to let it go wild.
"Miscellaneous!"
"Take me a shot!"
"boom"
The golden light of lightning drowned everything in Odin's roar.
Light...
Endless light shrouded everything.
Even the screams of nightmare can't be heard.
The sound of evil shattering cannot be heard.
Zhatanna, wrapped in light, was embarrassed, covered in blood, closed her eyes in despair.
She thought about how her life would end.
But she didn't expect that she would die like Merlin, under the angry blow of the God King...
Is this an honor?
The young lady smiled at the corner of her mouth, and she was about to welcome the arrival of death.
But just as she was about to be broken by Gangniel, a hand suddenly poked out from the broken dream gate.
The moment before the lightning was annihilated, Zhatanna was dragged back to the other dream.
"Bang"
The young lady with her eyes closed was pulled back into a not-so-warm embrace.
Maybe there was hallucination...
She smelled the familiar smell again.
"Silly girl..."
A voice sounded in her ears, as if it came from the other side.
Then...
It was a cold kiss.
Just kissed her blood-stained face.
Awoke her from her helplessness.
"As soon as I came back, I saw you dying... that's not what we said before."
The sound echoed.
Another finger was bounced against her nose, as if she was punishing her.
Chapter completed!
