The calm pool churned violently, and Caesar suddenly turned over. He had a splitting headache, and the silhouette of the Dragon Queen's last divine punishment kept replaying in his mind.
This was the newly built hot spring behind the Black-Wing Palace, and now it was the Black Dragon Emperor's recuperation room. The Black Dragon was lying in the pool full of magic power, and the high temperature that could cook living things made him feel warm and comfortable. In addition, there were some female human servants around, and they were pouring all kinds of spices into the pool according to the prescribed time.
Seeing the familiar scene, Caesar relaxed, and found that his limbs were still weak, so he simply sank back into the pool to rest. The fragmented dream replayed in his mind for a long time, and the divine punishment of the Dragon Queen was still fresh in his memory.
It was still risky.
If Bahamut had not fulfilled his promise, or even been a step late, Caesar himself did not know what would have happened after the furnace exploded. Anyway, no matter what, there was no way to cross the plane to hurt the Evil Dragon Mother, and he would definitely have died. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, his power level would plummet, and he would be at the mercy of others.
So before he had the ability to control the situation, it was best to keep a respectful distance from these Gods. This time, if he hadn't promised the Metal Dragons that he would fight with Alex and exhaust his strength in advance, Tiamat wouldn't have found the opportunity to punish him. At that time, he had practically handed his life over to Bahamut, and his life and death were in the hands of the Platinum Dragon God.
Of course, the original source of all this was that Caesar had been entangled with the Metal Dragons in order to fight against Tiamat's believers. Then he had betrayed the alliance and secretly set the Metal Dragons up.
Greed and selfishness were original sins, and so was self-righteousness. Although the bitter fruit was late, it was never absent.
This was wrong, and there was nothing to wash away. Caesar himself did not mean to shamelessly find an excuse to deny it, but since Tiamat had left, this matter had come to an end for the time being. If there was any follow-up, he would talk about it in the future. Now he was mainly thinking about his own affairs.
Although the fission furnace had stabilized, Caesar's reckless actions in the battle still had a big impact on him. The energy supplied by the fission furnace was now one level lower than before, and his combat power index in the assessment device had dropped.
But the good thing was that Caesar had used this opportunity to verify the feasibility of igniting fusion fire, but at this stage, he could not do it again. No matter what, he had to wait until his body and the furnace recovered before he could do it slowly.
On the other hand, he was still thinking about the matter of the monster in the dream. From what he knew so far, although it was not as effective as a true god in the main material world, Caesar's subconscious impression that it was probably more powerful than an ordinary true god... a time...
A long time ago, that existence had appeared once, but at that time, Caesar was in the Buddhist stage of having just taken his revenge. His pursuit of power was not strong, and that guy did not have a substantial impact on the Black Dragon.
But after such a long time, when the mutated black dragon was in danger, it actually appeared once more. This was definitely not a coincidence. Even if it wasn't paying attention at all times, at the very least, that existence still paid a certain amount of attention to Caesar, bewitching and luring him into taking the bait when he was in a desperate situation.
The question was, what did it want?
When Caesar asked what price he had to pay, the answer was, "Your dream."
However, as soon as the words fell, lightning flashed across the sky, and the dream shattered. Caesar even felt that before the monster at the bottom of the sea could finish speaking, his consciousness was forcibly pulled back to reality. For this, he even heard the angry roar of the existence.
Although he did not know what the reason for the collapse of the dream was, it was probably not because of Tiamat's divine punishment.
That guy (Caesar temporarily called it the "tentacle monster") should be able to observe the situation he was in at that time through some means. Otherwise, it would not have waited for the opportunity to make a move at the critical moment and proposed to give power in exchange.
This meant that while the tentacle monster had the ability to drag Caesar's consciousness into the illusion, it could control the passage of time in the dream. In other words, when Caesar was in the dream, the time in the outside world was in a relatively stagnant state.
In this way, Tiamat's divine punishment could not even touch Caesar's body before he left the dream, and could not pose a substantial threat to him.
Without a doubt, the Black Dragon, who was in a desperate situation, hesitated for a moment. It could be said that from the tentacle monster's point of view, it was about to succeed. Then, the dream collapsed, and its actions became meaningless.
It could not be that the tentacle monster's power was not enough to support the dream to continue, right? From the information that Caesar currently understood, the monster was not stupid to this extent. Then, what was the reason for the collapse of the dream, and why it let out such a memorable roar of indignation?
Black Dragon, who had his head submerged in the hot spring, gently shook his head and thought hard. He subconsciously felt that this question was more important, and could have a huge impact on his future development, but he could not figure it out for a while.
Wait, your dream?
… Black Dream?
Caesar was a little surprised, and his face immediately became serious. The other party actually knew of the existence of the Black Dream, and seemed to have come for the Black Dream?
That was the only explanation. He did not have anything on him that could attract the tentacle monster's interest. Black Dragon did not even have a single magical instrument on him at that time, and when the tentacle monster mentioned this matter, the dream immediately shattered.
Was it affected by the Black Dream?
Caesar instantly thought of many things. When he was still weak, he did not go crazy when he saw that vicious and strange little statue. He did not even show the slightest fear when he talked to that monster. It was probably not because his soul and body were different from ordinary people, but because the Black Dream helped him block some things that could affect his mind, including this time.
If that was the case, that guy was probably stronger than a normal True God. At least back then, although the Mother of Evil Dragons, Tiamat, could see through the truth of Caesar's otherworldly soul at a glance, she did not find out that there was something else in his head. However, this secret, the tentacle monster that pretended to be mysterious actually knew about it, and seemed to be full of interest.
Caesar could not help but feel a trace of vigilance. Although recently, he had gradually collected the growth plan of psionic power, and different ways to obtain power, which allowed Caesar to get rid of his dependence on the Black Dream to a certain extent, the Black Dream was still the root of his life. Regarding the existence of the dark space, Caesar had never mentioned it to Luna.
The Black Dragon subconsciously tightened his claws. The Black Dream that he was born with did not seem to appear out of thin air arranged by the heavens, but had a certain relationship with that monster?
He had to be more careful.
Right, speaking of the Black Dream, he really had to take a look. The dark space had not taken the initiative to pull him in for a long time, and he did not know if a new trophy had appeared in it.
