The focus is on dreams.

Merkava can no longer be viewed simply as a standalone entity.

He can only be seen as a composite individual at this moment.

It's like a demon entering the material plane, possessing the body of another being, and using that being as a vessel.

During this process, the demon's stats will gradually be added to the creature's body.

By simply replenishing enough energy, the creature's stats can be increased to match those of the demon itself.

This is a form of invasion.

Merkava, however, has reversed this relationship.

He transformed his dreams into a kind of container, using the dreamlike nature of dreams to contain powerful beings in reality.

Then, it uses dreams to invade itself, transferring the other party's characteristics and power into itself.

It also broke the boundaries, thus allowing itself to break through the conventional numerical limitations.

And the individuals who can provide such numerical limits...

"You think you can defeat me just by relying on the saints of the Moon Goddess Church?" Clown King retorted, his disdain evident in his words.

There are three and a half types of numerical monsters that are well-known in the material plane.

The strongest numerical monster is the Church of the Sun God.

The Sun God, the Light God, and the Lord of the Sky are the main gods of the Sky Pantheon and are currently widely recognized as the strongest gods.

What it is most known for and is most praiseworthy of is not its high temperature and heat, nor its light that bestows blessings upon all things, nor its sovereign power that hangs high in the sky and holds sway over everything.

It's the numbers!

Unmatched numbers!

The sun is the largest celestial body, possessing the most enormous size and energy, and holding the most terrifying values.

It is enough to crush any opponent who challenges Him.

The saints of the sun god also inherited these characteristics to some extent.

That is, the Sun Saint can rely on his special ability to exceed the limit of one thousand values ​​and theoretically increase his own values ​​without any upper limit.

Of course, this is only in theory. The more the Sun Saint's stats increase, the more difficult it becomes to further improve them.

Even so, the normal stats of some slightly older Sun Saints are basically the same as those of Demon Lords with the blessing of their territories.

Therefore, few demon lords dare to cause trouble at the Church of the Sun. The Sun Saints are basically certain that their stats are unmatched in the mortal realm.

Besides the Sun God, there is also a half-category of numerical monsters—the Moon God.

The moon goddess is also a celestial body, although her own numerical value is not terrifying. However, she possesses properties such as 'reflection', which allows her to borrow other powerful forces and then incorporate them into her own body.

If multiple 'light sources' are available, the numerical values ​​can be temporarily accumulated using the 'lunar eclipse' phenomenon.

When the time is right, you can enter the full moon state, at which point your stats will explode, and you can become a stat monster for a certain period of time.

Having been a demon lord for hundreds of years, the Clown King certainly has some experience.

He looked at Merkava with disdain, but inwardly he was more vigilant than ever before.

The Moon Goddess is not as powerful as the Sun Goddess in normal circumstances, but because she reflects other powers over the years, she has some knowledge of all kinds of strange and unusual powers. It is not surprising that she would lose under certain special methods.

Merkava didn't answer at this moment, but simply approached Clown King without saying a word.

In his current state, all he needs to do is defeat the Clown King to complete the Blood Moon Ritual and seize his lordship.

He had been investigating the Clown King's trump cards for so many years and now he knew pretty much everything. He knew that the Clown King was no match for him, who had the support of the Moon God!

Merkava was full of confidence, then he noticed that the Clown King opposite him seemed to be looking behind him, with a surprised and strange look on his face.

"So you're already planning to use this little trick to distract me?" Merkava's dream had been shrouding him in a dream, and he couldn't possibly be unaware of whether there was anyone else around him.

The Clown King's use of such methods only makes him a laughingstock...

The sound of flesh tearing apart stunned Merkava.

He looked down slightly and saw a long sword, seemingly formed from a dream, piercing through his body.

During this process, the dream power within his body was being drawn away by the sword.

The next moment, Merkava's body shattered like glass, or became mottled like flying ants or cicada wings.

In the blink of an eye, his entire body had turned into fragments and vanished.

Then, as if waking from a dream and entering a dream again, a completely new Merkava appeared on the other side.

The newly appeared Merkava seemed to be frozen in place, unaware of what had happened, or perhaps having forgotten something.

However, his expression quickly hardened, and he immediately looked into the distance. There he saw Nemus holding a Dream Sword, raising the blade in front of him and examining it closely, as if he could see something in the blade.

Chapter 446 Filial Piety and Fatherly Love (Bonus chapter for 3,000 words, and also requesting monthly votes for the new month)

"So that's how it is. This is a dream?" Nemus murmured to himself.

The Dream Sword in his hand was the result of his previously stolen learning.

By combining sealing techniques with weapons, the enemy's power is sealed within the weapon through a displacement reaction while the weapon releases its power outward.

Furthermore, this process can also create a specific effect on the force that is replaced.

However, Nems made slight modifications to this move.

Unlike the sealing sword technique Death Aura Hoopoe, which was developed for undead enemies.

Although this move is also primarily based on sealing, Nemus developed it for the purpose of learning.

The essence of sealing techniques is to use minimal force to trigger the essential conflict between things, thereby causing the forces to clash and achieving the greatest restrictive effect.

However, the previous fire demon took a different approach, utilizing the autonomous movement of forces to actively enhance the seal's ability to restrain those forces.

After studying it, Nemus discovered that this sealing method, in order to target a certain power, would produce further changes related to that power.

This allows us to connect the changes in the seal to some kind of signal and regularize them.

By reversing these patterns, Nems was able to understand the inherent laws governing various forces more clearly.

Therefore, this move is called the Sword of Fortune: Night Heron Hundred Forms!

They treat sealing as a learning and exploration technique, using it to continuously explore changes in power.

“Dreams, what a wondrous power,” Nemus exclaimed, slowly lowering his sword and looking at Merkava not far away.

"Who are you? Clown King's helper?" If Merkava hadn't used his dream properties to make the stabbing incident a dream, he would probably be dead by now.

Nemes's sword strike was truly chilling.

A surge of power flowed into his body, while at the same time a suction force was at work, drawing power from his body.

"Me?" Nemus tilted his head slightly and swung his sword.

Everything around him shattered instantly, and large amounts of flesh, glass, and fragments were being swept away by the sword strike.

And those things were Merkava's dreams.

Its silent spread was just one step away from covering Nems.

"I won't introduce myself, since you probably won't remember anyway."

As Nemes spoke, his figure flashed.

Merkava was startled and was about to guard against Naemus's sneak attack, but information about Naemus was rapidly fading from her mind.

In his dream, a saint from the Church of the Moon Goddess gave him a reminder.

If sight is lost, then memories of Nems will also be lost simultaneously.

Other senses were weak in their perception of Nemus, and even he couldn't accurately pinpoint Nemus's exact location.

It's even possible that if a little more time passes, he might even forget about Nemes' existence.

During this process, the Moon God glanced at the ground, and the previously recorded symbolic information had also changed.

Just like historical texts, these symbols and pictures, which are constantly changing, offer no useful information when analyzed.

Instead, it is necessary to combine information related to Nems to complete these already complete drawings and obtain relevant intelligence.

The problem is that if they remember Nemes, then they wouldn't need these drawings.

But forget Nemes, and these drawings themselves are meaningless.

It's stuck in a vicious cycle.

The very nature of this inexplicably appearing enemy essentially determines that once their line of sight is lost, it will be extremely difficult to defend against them.

It's almost certain that a sneak attack will happen.

"Change your combat strategy and set up an automatic defense mechanism around yourself!" The Moon Goddess had experienced countless battles over the years. After a slight fluctuation in her dreamlike eyes, she immediately made the most correct arrangement.

When facing an enemy you can't even remember, the best approach is to focus on changing yourself, adjusting your defense strategy while you can still remember them.

Then believe in yourself.

A second after losing track of Nemes, Mekava had no image of Nemes in her mind, and didn't even remember that the person existed.

However, his dream also recorded that he had an enemy who could be forgotten.

Five seconds later, this information was also forgotten.

He was suddenly surprised that he was using this defensive method, which seemed to be against an unseen enemy's sneak attack.

And why did so many useless symbols suddenly appear in my dream?

He couldn't help but ponder the meaning of these symbols, and then began to recall what he had been doing before.

"So is this some kind of special ability of the Clown King?"

"Time system? Causality system or concept system?" Merkava looked bewildered. In his dream, the Moon God only lasted one second longer than Merkava before losing all his vague impressions.

The senses continued to expand, but the Clown King could not be found.

However, he soon sensed a terrifying fluctuation emanating from not far away.

The Clown King, who had disappeared from sight, was suddenly forced out of the void, his paint dripping off his body bit by bit.

Then Nemus emerged from the void.

The moment Merkava saw Nems, all her previous impressions were activated, and the patterns and symbols in her dream all turned into images and words that she could understand.

The sheer terror of that moment made Merkava tremble all over.

A sense of fear kept rising within him—fear of Nems, fear of being his enemy.

He instinctively wanted to blink, but he immediately realized it and forcibly controlled it.

"No, no, I can't lose sight of you!" Merkava was torn between two fears.

One option is to forget about Naimus, and the other is to see Naimus.

He wanted to stare intently at Nems, but he also wanted to turn and run away immediately, so that he could forget everything and escape the fear that Nems brought him.

This extreme fear almost crushed his spirit.

Fortunately, in his dream, the Moon Goddess was like a bright moon, allowing him to drift into a peaceful state of sleep.

"I seem to have information about this person!" Just then, a red-skinned demon in the dream raised his hand and said.

“Salish?” Merkava frowned upon hearing the demon’s words, but dared not turn around to look at him, his gaze remaining fixed on Nemus: “We can’t even remember the other party, do you have information?”

"The other party's name seems to be Nemus!" Salish immediately said, "He was a different kind of demon that appeared on the 181st floor."

"He even came to me for information some time ago."

"only……"

"But what?" Merkava couldn't help but ask upon hearing this information.

"But you are going to die, Father!"

Chapter 447 The Convergence of Cause and Effect

Before he could finish speaking, Salish transformed into a red light, and a figure emerged from the light—it was Nemus.
