The scene suddenly changed, and the gloomy and dark hall was replaced by bright lights. Psius and Ophelia on the seats, and the God of the Deep on the dining table flashed past, and silence returned. Chairs falling and men's roars could be heard from the depths of darkness.
"You damn, rude fool!"
Lu Li put down the psychic gun without bullets and stared at the darkness at the end of the dining table.
The man who switched to dreamland to avoid the attack regained his grace and appeared on the edge: "Are you giving up the struggle?"
"What do you want to say."
Lu Li stared at the culprit who seemed to want to talk.
"I originally wanted to say something to the lucky ones who escaped from the dream, but you ruined it with your own hands..." The man in the dress showed a cruel smile, slowly blending into the shadows formed by the darkness.
"Now, enjoy your nightmare."
Chaotic footprints and low roars echoed in the dark depths, and the ferocious silhouettes of the ghouls stepped out from the edge and pounced on Lu Li.
The strong rotten hind limbs made the ghoul jump up, but Lu Li ducked to avoid it. He grabbed the neck of the ghoul in the air and pinned it to the ground with his left hand. Before struggling, the homologous dagger pierced the jaw, crushing the putrid brain.
Another ghoul rushed behind him. Before his claws cut open the clothes and touched the skin, Lu Li turned over and pressed the body of the dead ghoul. He kicked off his legs to attack the approaching ghoul. He swept across the dining table and cleaned it at the same time.
There was a crashing and breaking sound from the dinner plate.
"Amazing reflexes and strength, but my skills are a bit lacking."
The comments of the man hiding in the shadows echoed in the hall.
"Oh, be careful, you're hurt."
The last ghoul sneaked up behind Lu Li like an assassin and pounced while he was listening to the man's words. Lu Li turned around to fight back, but he was still too slow and his arm was scratched by the tip of the ghoul's claws.
Chasing the ghoul that was trying to hide in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity, Lu Li broke its neck with his left hand, and Lu Li slowly stood up.
Bang bang bang——
"Well done, but how long can you last?"
Amid applause and whispers, more ghouls stepped out of the darkness.
"By the way, the ghoul's doodle possesses dozens of germs and deadly plagues. It is inevitable: your body transforms into a ghoul."
Lu Li had no time to observe the corrosive wound and once again deal with the incoming group of ghouls. The germs carried by the ghouls forced him to spend time avoiding the ghouls' attacks and sharp claws.
"You will gradually feel your body heat up, your fatigue and pain will disappear, and you will seem to have endless energy..."
Without pause, Lu Li inserted the dagger into the eye socket of a ghoul, pulled out the brain that smelled like sludge, and faced another ghoul that was thin and had a distinctly human structure.
"Then your joints become increasingly stiff and difficult to bend. You hear a being whispering in your ear..."
Chi——
Lu Li's palm firmly pressed the back of the ghoul's head until it stopped struggling.
"You have been attacking those human-turned-ghouls. It seems you know how weak we are?"
When there were still two ghouls, Lu Li finally responded to the man's words: he grabbed the psychic gun and shot into the shadows.
Bang!
"Tsk tsk...are you angry because of embarrassment? Do you regret your initial recklessness?"
Men's voices sounded from all around.
"I wonder if this wouldn't have happened if you had kept your mouth shut."
Putting down his psychic gun again, Lu Li ignored the approaching ghoul and stared at the dining table.
"The lighted candles on the dining table light up the hall."
Brightness bloomed on the dining table, revealing the man in the main seat holding a wine glass like a gentleman. The candlesticks were bright and steady, as if they had always been there.
"Ghouls die in agony."
Lu Li said, but this time nothing happened - the ghouls didn't attack either.
"Whose dream is this?" Lu Li looked at the man in the seat.
"His dream. You are smarter than I thought... Maybe it's not a coincidence that you can escape from the dream?"
There are only two gods who can be called Him here. And the God of the Deep Sea is currently lying on the dining table as food.
"Then do you choose to 'wake up' and rush here to open the third level of dreams, or continue to be my slave in the arena?"
Lu Li did not answer. But beside him, Ophelia's silhouette emerged.
The blazing sea of fire swept through the hall, burning the remaining two screaming ghouls into charcoal.
"It seems you have found the rules...it's my turn next."
The man was sipping red wine with great interest, and a demon doll several meters tall with thick upper limbs appeared behind him.
The damage caused by Ophelia's lava was negligible. The door-like palms suddenly closed together, wiping out Ophelia -
Bang!!!
The hall trembled, and the place where the demon stood was replaced by a rough giant hand.
"Soldier against soldier, against general." The man whispered.
The tree man guard, who was more than ten meters tall and could only bend against the rock wall in the hall, slowly raised his giant palm and grabbed the black snake that shot out of the void like a black light.
The black light penetrated into the palm of the tree man guard, and the dark green faded from the body, withered and turned into ashes. The exposed black light rushed towards Lu Li, and a girl's shadow walked out from the shadow behind Lu Li, possessing the black light.
"You really have potential... It's like fate, sending you to me when I'm about to seize the power. Tribe, do you want to reach the top of this world with me?"
Lu Li stared at the shadow of the girl who had the upper hand: "Will you save this world?"
"What?" The man was stunned and replied: "Yes... let's join forces and become -"
"You won't."
Lu Li shook his head gently. The shadow of the girl who killed Heimang also lost strength, turned around, and stared at Lu Li affectionately, as if staring at Lu Li, and gradually faded away.
"Stupid...it's a good thing I won't be of the same species as you idiot any time soon!"
The scene on the dining table suddenly changed for an instant, revealing the first layer of dream scenes: the giant frog was still eating away at the God of the Deep Sea.
"You don't have much time."
"You talk too much."
The steam silhouette stepped out from Lu Li's side and approached the man,
"You know what? When you realize that this is a dream, and your will can change this place, you will not be killed."
The man didn't care and whispered meaningfully.
"Don't be happy about this. Because there is always a power that transcends dimensions and rules... You don't know what I saw in my long sleep!"
Fuzzy tentacles and a bloated shadow appeared behind the man, accompanied by the sound of waves, and wet traces appeared around everything in the deep-sea mud-like smell. Countless tentacles drilled out of the steamy outline of the body, eating away everything.
"Is this the scariest thing you've ever seen? Not bad, but—"
"no."
The ceiling of the hall suddenly became transparent with Lu Li's calm words.
The dark clouds covering the sky dissipated silently, exposing the vast and unfamiliar starry sky above the earth.
"What is this...! What have you experienced! Who are you!?"
Lu Li remained silent, calmly watching the broken shadow and the man who was yelling and scratching his face.
Deep in the starry sky behind him, countless nebulae gathered into an eye looking down at the world.
