Chapter 449 Birth
Braduleira's condition was deteriorating rapidly. If it were in this condition in reality, it would be very difficult for Anti to kill it directly.
But in dreams, the strength of individuals in different dreams is infinitely close, and the balance of dreams makes it impossible for it to truly possess endless blood.
Its condition will soon be unable to sustain.
The number of children it can throw around at will is decreasing significantly, at least as far as the naked eye can see.
The strength of the stranger will not be reduced at all because of the separation of his mind and body in a confused state. It is similar to the separated animal nature, which is similar to Anti creating a combat-capable clone out of thin air.
It is very different from the confused mind and body of ordinary believers.
A normal person's confused mind and body can only stay in sync most of the time, and can act independently only rarely. Of course, the more alienated the confused mind and body is, the stronger its ability to act independently.
According to this concept, strangers, as confused minds and bodies, are perhaps the most alienated.
Antioch cannot command the other, and it is completely free from Antioch, but there is indeed a deep connection between the two.
There were so many abnormalities on my body that I couldn't count them all.
Just as Bradulela was torn to pieces by the strangers again and the little remaining blood was filling her body, Anti was about to catch up in pursuit when an explosion occurred in Assalon Castle on the distant mountain behind him.
Anti quickly looked back and saw a figure wrapped in black and gold knocking a huge mass of strange black substance flowing like asphalt out of the castle.
That's... a Shoggoth!?
There is more than one attacker!
One Pillar God indeed took up too much of their energy, and no one could ignore the pressure from the Pillar God.
Even if we knew it in advance, we could only take precautions. There wasn't much we could do given Asaron's current situation.
All over the mountains, black, gelatinous mucus oozed out of the ground and gathered towards the castle.
They gave the mountains a pitch-black color, making them look like an oversized Shoggoth, emitting countless noisy and chaotic cries.
Shoggoths can imitate sounds, and often the call of a Shoggoth will be similar to that of its prey, or that of its prey's prey, depending on what it eats most.
At this time, a large number of Shoggoths were everywhere in the mountains, bringing countless strange sounds here.
These sounds are also a testament to the horror of these Shoggoths.
Anti turned around without hesitation and rushed towards Assalon Castle.
Seeing this, Braduleila laughed faintly again: "Hahaha, I became the bait for that guy to attract attention? Those things are really disgusting, aren't they?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the holy sword of blood worship in the stranger's hand slashed down on Bradulela's body, pinning her to the ground.
"Ah——!" The independence between Anti and the stranger even meant that there was no distance restriction between them like the ordinary mind and body.
Anti went back to rescue, while the stranger continued to argue with Bradulela.
The blood of a stranger flows on the holy sword of blood worship. Bradulela thought she had an opportunity, but she found that the blood of a stranger did not respond to its call.
This is--
欻!
The Blood Cult Holy Sword transformed into a wolf-tooth club and smashed down, smashing Bradulela into a pulp.
——A stranger.
……
Anti used the Shadow King's Halberd to shuttle through the shadows and arrived at the castle in an instant.
But as soon as he appeared, a bloody mouth appeared behind him and bit towards him.
Anti turned around and swept his halberd across, making it look like it had swung in a circle, and then continued forward as if nothing had happened, while the huge body of the Shoggoth behind him quickly disintegrated into nothingness.
"Hungry..." Big Mouth poked his head out quietly.
Why do I feel like I have brothers and sisters whom I have never met?
According to what we have learned before, Big Mouth is, in a sense, an alternative little Shoggoth transplanted onto Anti.
Except for not being dark, he looks pretty shabby.
Anti rushed to the refuge deep in the castle and found it was surrounded by Shoggoths. The ceiling, floor and walls were all covered with black slime, as if everyone was not in a castle but in the belly of a giant Shoggoth.
It was only the golden light that protected everyone, preventing them from being swallowed by these Shoggoths.
This number of people may seem like a lot, but it is really just a snack for the Shoggoths present.
Anti opened a passage and stopped in front of the golden light without moving any closer.
The crowd inside huddled together, and Anti glanced around. "Don't look for her anymore, she's out." In the horrified environment, it was one of the twins, Endehai, who came out to tell Anti. She was the only one standing casually at the edge of the golden light, not afraid that the Shoggoth would break the protection and eat her directly.
The person that Endehai was talking about was naturally her sister Hopkins.
"What is she doing?" Ann asked.
"She ran out while shouting that she was the only one who could do something here. Even the golden light left by Aunt Sylvia couldn't stop her. She may have been eaten by these things now. She is so stupid..."
Anti's hand suddenly passed through the golden light and pressed Endehai's shoulder.
Endehai didn't care and continued, "What's wrong? Anti, why do your mood swings seem to be greater than before?"
After hearing this, Anti realized it a little later. After separating his confused mind, although those emotions did not completely break through his outer barrier at that time, they still seeped out a little with the separation.
Although it is only some, compared with Anti's original situation, it can be considered a lot.
The slight smile from others was an expression that Anti could hardly make.
Endehai pointed at the people behind him and said, "These people can still stay calm because they care about Aunt Sylvia. If Aunt Sylvia falls, there will be no need for the monsters outside to eat them. They will quickly destroy themselves."
"Because they are human, everyone will be afraid." Anti withdrew his hand and said lightly.
"So I can't understand it." Endehai's sarcastic smile disappeared, and he returned to his usual indifference, "Why are humans the only special among countless intelligent life forms?"
She stared at Anti: "If we want to save the world, we should treat everyone equally."
"Saving the world is too far away for most people. It's very difficult for humans to even save others. No one will understand what you say."
"You don't understand either? Anti. I thought you might be able to understand me a little."
Anti was silent for a moment, and looked at Endehai: "Seeing the big picture from the small, life is nothing more than this."
After saying that, he turned and left.
There's no time to argue with her.
Sylvia and Hopkins...
There was a loud noise outside the castle, and the black-gold light was dimming.
But every cell in that giant Shoggoth's body was trembling, and chaotic roars came out of every mouth on its body, which looked very painful.
Sylvia fell to the ground, sweating and pale, the pain all over her body stimulating her mind.
She was in great pain as she struggled to shake off the Shoggoth slime that was on her body.
She had never used her child's power so intensely before, and now she was panting violently, wanting to scream if she even moved.
Tears kept flowing from his bloodshot eyes.
It hurts so much… it hurts so much… it’s so uncomfortable… I want to vomit… I want to leave here… I want to sleep forever…
The severe pain also brought me to the brink of mental collapse.
"I underestimated you. In my current state, I am no match for you who have the unconditional support of the child in your belly... That's great. I have tried to split and produce offspring, but they were all hopelessly stupid and had no special powers. In the end, they had to be eaten by me and returned to my body."
A blurry human face formed on a nearby shoggoth and imitated Sylvia's voice, only more ethereal.
Children... yes... children...
Be patient... for the sake of the children...
Sylvia pulled herself together.
But just as she calmed down from the severe pain, her stomach suddenly moved, and then an even stronger pain suddenly broke out.
"If direct confrontation doesn't work, then try another method. Your body is too weak and you are seriously lacking in nutrition, so it's so difficult for those miraculous children to be born. In the final analysis, this power is still too advanced for humans."
"Just now, I came into contact with you through my cells and took advantage of the loophole in your power. After all, although your power is very strong, your use is very superficial. This is not difficult. It is not harmful to you, but it is a great supplement for your body."
"You were close to giving birth, and now the children can't wait any longer."
Following Naflai's leisurely words, Sylvia held her stomach, staggered back, and leaned against a tree behind her, her face completely pale.
