Chapter 77 "Dream Gap"

Antioch was let down.

The day after submitting the first draft of the design, Anti didn't even meet anyone from Dill. Salomo came over and apologized on his behalf, saying that he had something important to do and asked Anti to wait a few more days.

Anti felt that they were hiding something from him, but he still waited patiently.

This wait lasted for more than half a month.

Anti spent too much time worrying about the God-killing Weapon, and he returned to Blue Star halfway through.

Fortunately, the results of his social test came out and he passed with high evaluation. He got his "authentic Blue Star" ID card.

Looking at the ambiguous identity document, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but in the end, I let it all sink into my heart with an expressionless face.

Jasmine seemed to see what Anti was thinking. She did not disturb him. She just had a meal with him and then left quietly.

I made up for some of the missed classes, further polished my skills, mastered miracles, and extended my synaesthesia. Time passed quickly in Anti.

When he returned to Sun City, he was immediately called over by Salomo and Dill.

Looking at the whip-like object on the table, Anti fell silent.

"Take it and use it. And here is your previous design drawing, which has been modified for you. With your craftsmanship level, if you make it step by step, there will be no problem as long as you can control the remnants of the wandering gods. Prove it to me next." Dill said indifferently, turned and left.

Salome was left sitting before Antioch.

"He has laid the foundation." After watching for a while, Anti looked up and said.

Salomo gave his usual gentle smile and nodded slightly.

"I owe you a favor again. As expected, a little greed can easily lead you deeper and deeper into trouble." Anti said, "Although the craftsmanship of the God-killing Weapon is not exaggeratedly difficult, it is not something that can be fixed easily."

"You don't have to think so. It is a fact that you saved lives between the two incidents. And the reason why I was willing to help you to this extent was also Dill's own idea." Salomo said quickly.

"Forget the flattery. Next time if you have any business in the sanctuary, just come to me directly. Whether it's investigating a cult or confronting the wandering gods, I will accept it." Anti said to himself, put away the things on the table, turned around and left the room.

Salomo was left sitting alone in his seat, his smile gradually becoming helpless.

"Why are they all like this... It's hard for me as a middleman to handle this kind of situation when they keep talking to themselves."

……

Anti borrowed the forging room, and he still had to pretend to use it. After informing everyone not to disturb him except to leave food at the door, it was time for him to start his work.

Take out the nymph's hand-held heart, the inspiration for the "nymph larva", and the long whip-like frame embryo that Dill helped prepare.

Put all three into the body.

As soon as he entered Anti's body with the heart in his hand, he changed his previous calm attitude and was about to take action, but when black gas emerged from Anti's body, he calmed down again.

Spread the design in front of you and start forging.

It was far more intense than a simple fusion of materials, and severe discomfort quickly spread throughout the body.

My head felt dizzy and my abdomen felt very swollen. It felt like my stomach was constantly expanding with gas that couldn't be expelled and there was no limit. My internal organs were dislocated and playing a deadly game of hide-and-seek with each other in such a small body.

It seemed as if every organ and limb in his body had its own thoughts, and even his mind began to "dance".

Calm down, calm down, calm down!

ding ding ding...

I can't stop being calm.

Sure enough, the Flesh and Blood Furnace and Anti's body and spirit are all connected. If he does not concentrate and actively mobilize the three materials during the process of smelting the God-killing Weapon, the three materials may not be able to be fused as desired.

The "heart in hand" obviously resisted Deere's frame embryo, and the automatically operated flesh and blood furnace could not force it in. It needed Anti's "manual".

The Flesh and Blood Furnace can help Anti save all the tools and even the labor requirements, but one must keep a clear mind when making the God-killing Weapon!
"Ugh... ugh... ah... big mouth... give me the food, give me the meat..."

"Hungry……"

The big mouth stuck out its tongue, drooling, but this was not the drool of greed. Anti was nauseated and uncomfortable, and so was the big mouth. Its tongue stuck out, either limp or waving wildly, almost mad.

Anti looked at the tongue that was swaying in front of him and ruthlessly flicking at his face from time to time, and he opened his mouth and bit it.

Stab it!

A piece was bitten directly into Anti's mouth.

"Hungry……!"

"Go on, stay with me until the end, good boy... Hiccup... uh..." Anti panted, and managed to utter a few words, but soon he could no longer bear the pain and nausea all over his body.

The whole person could hardly move, barely supporting himself on the ground, looking at the design drawing in front of him, and continuing to mobilize the flesh and blood furnace. When the flesh and blood were empty, they would eat Big Mouth's tongue, and Big Mouth would spit out all the power transformed from the flesh and blood it ate on a daily basis to Anti.

Time passes by little by little as we go back and forth like this.

It's hard to say that the days passed like years. Anti didn't even bother to pay attention to the time. He kept calming himself with one hand while chewing his tongue.

His eyes were bloodshot, a twisted and twitching smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and his whole body twitched and twisted strangely from time to time.

Rather than saying that this is the final forging venue of the God-killing Weapon, it would be more like the scene of some weird evil god sacrificial ceremony.

After Anti processed all the materials and frameworks according to all the steps in the design drawing, the "manual" part was finally finished.

In other words, Anti can "sleep".

"Hungry!" Big Mouth let out a tortured yet relieved cry, then quickly retracted his bumpy tongue, closed his mouth, and disappeared from Anti's chest.

And Anti closed his eyes and fell to the ground, his body still twitching.

……

Anti slowly opened his eyes, but the scene in front of him was not the forging room.

Instead, it was a dilapidated hospital that seemed to have been abandoned long ago.

The surroundings were foggy and desolate, and there seemed to be no other way to go except the big hospital in front of us.

However, Anti still tried to walk towards the edge of the white fog.

As a result, he began to feel nauseous after staying in the white fog for too long. After walking a few steps, Anti didn't want to suffer aimlessly any longer, so he turned around and went back to the hospital gate.

"What's going on? Am I not performing a shaman act?" Antis pondered.

[Event - "Dream Gap"]

[There are many faces in the dream world. Congratulations on discovering a side that is unknown to you. ]

[Akhnakar's gift: Bring you guidance in your dreams.]

[Price: Unable to determine the status of the guidance, perhaps it has already lost its way in the gap and may lead to danger. ]

Anti was a little dazed as he looked at the inspiration that was triggered in front of him.

The gaps between dreams in the mixed dream world?

Is there a “dream within a dream” in this “dream” world?
