Suddenly, the half-dead Cruesen opened his eyes.
No one could have predicted that the torrential spiritual energy would suddenly burst out and instantly cross a very short distance. Ignoring the protection of the dragon scales and the powerful magic resistance, it took the opportunity to crash into Caesar's brain when he was relaxed.
"Strong flesh may be able to block arrows and spears, but not thoughts." Cruesen said in a low voice.
The Spirit Sea was the internal expansion of the soul. It carried the memories, emotions, and consciousness of a creature. Everything it thought would be reflected in the Spirit Sea. The Spirit Sea of a Gnoll or a farmer would only be a crumbling cave or a few square feet of land. That was all the Spirit Sea of such creatures could carry.
The spiritual sea of a powerful life form was much vaster than this. But for Caesar, his spiritual sea was a boundless blue sky and a vast and majestic Black Sea.
At the critical moment, Cruesen realized that he could not defeat the enemy, so he decided to give up his weak body and concentrate all his consciousness to enter the spiritual sea of the enemy.
There was no doubt that this decision was correct. If there was a chance to blow up the spirit sea of this giant beast or awaken its soul, Cruz would not only be able to defeat his opponent, but he would also be able to seize his opponent's powerful body. With the terrifying strength of that body, it would not be a problem for him to drive away the Sea Tribe and even help the Golden City to conquer the Sea Tribe. For Cruz, the high risk of no return was directly proportional to the huge reward. It was totally worth the risk.
He had successfully completed the first step, which was to break into the spiritual sea of the behemoth. However, what he faced next was completely unexpected.
The color of the sky began to change, and the light emitted like a star emblem. The spiritual sea gathered and finally formed the shape of Cruesen. He looked around, and his calm face finally changed color. His lips trembled, and he could not help but whisper, "How is this possible?"
The next moment, the sound of rolling waves came from the sea. The sound was heavy, and waves kept rolling on the surface of the sea. The sky suddenly changed, and bright lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating Cruesen's gloomy face.
After the thunder, there was a short silence. A series of huge bubbles emerged from the sea, each of which was several times bigger than the one Cruesen showed in the spiritual world. The whole sea began to rumble and tremble with a strange evil aura.
A huge Black Dragon appeared.
Every claw of the dragon was as long as a mountain peak, and every scale was as big as a lake. When the dragon opened its mouth, the distance between the upper and lower jaws occupied the entire field of vision of Cruesen. The dragon breath that was as wide as ten thousand miles washed over the entire spiritual world. Although it didn't cause any substantial damage, it was enough to make Cruesen collapse.
"It's magnificent, isn't it?"
The voice came from all directions. In the spiritual world, there was no concept of language. The two sides communicated through their consciousness. The side with the absolute advantage could even read the thoughts of the other side. "You're very lucky. Before this, no creature has ever dared to break into my spiritual world."
Cruz didn't listen to him at all, because when he saw this scene, he realized that what he was doing was tantamount to suicide. He immediately wanted to withdraw and escape from the spirit sea.
But there was no doubt that he failed.
"When facing an undefeatable creature, one should maintain sufficient respect."
Caesar said lightly, "You should at least listen to what I have to say before you think about how to escape."
Cruesen was speechless. He already knew that his opponent had the absolute advantage and could read his thoughts. And this kind of control was even more fatal than controlling the life and death of a physical body.
"Until now, what I don't understand is where your power comes from. According to the intelligence of the Blackwing Clan, Villoster doesn't have a complete energy system. This means that you can't obtain power through meditation or training. However, you seem to be different from the rest."
"Of course you're not an idiot. Since that's the case, you still chose to bare your teeth at me. Either you have great confidence, or you don't know the difference between you and me.
Regardless of the reason, it's enough to show that you don't understand power. You only know how to use it, but not how to obtain it. You don't even understand the rules behind it. "
"From the Divine King?
Arturo?
Stop joking. I've asked … you can barely be considered a true god. There's no such person among the gods. But your thoughts won't lie. That means that that thing has indeed given you power. "
Caesar was stunned for a while before he grinned and said, "I understand now. There's something unusual in Vilost that's deceiving the natives of this continent.
You, on the other hand, are nothing more than a puppet. "
The body of the Vilost man, who was known as the Great Sage, trembled. He knew that in front of absolute power, there was no need for this giant beast to deceive him. But if what it said was true, then he had been deceived from the beginning. Everything he had persisted in and pursued in his life was laughably false. His faith was shaken to an unprecedented degree and was on the verge of collapse.
Cruesen felt that his organs had been hollowed out. His limbs were weak, and he was exhausted. He stared at Caesar's face without saying a word.
"It doesn't feel good to be fooled, right?
I can feel your anger. "
Black Dragon said, "What the so-called 'Arturo' can give, I can too.
You've seen my power and know that it's easy for me to conquer Vilost by force.
But actually, I don't like war. As a great sage with a high status here, help me persuade the City of Gold to surrender and rule over Vilost, and I can give you more things. I might even give you a chance to take revenge on 'Attuso'.
How about it? Think about it? "
After a pause, Caesar added, "My daughter is about to be born. I don't want her birth to be accompanied by bloodshed, and I don't want to waste time in this place."
"Maybe I've been fooled, and I'm angry about it."
For the first time, Cruesen spoke in the mental world. "But this is not a reason for me to help you.
Indeed, with your power, it's easy to conquer Vilost. But you can break our spine, but don't think you can bend it.
From now on, I'll be the first brick in your grave! "
He self-destructed.
Cruesen's spiritual energy gathered and disintegrated, creating a torrent of energy. Then, it was dispersed by Black Dragon and returned to silence.
In his own mental world, Caesar was an omniscient and omnipotent god. He had the ability to stop Cruesen's self-destruction, but he didn't. Because the moment Cruesen entered the mental world, Caesar already knew that Cruesen had no intention of living. He had rushed in with the determination to die. Even if he stopped him now, he would still launch a suicide attack when he returned to the Material Plane.
"There are always these 'idiots' who don't know what's good for them …"
Caesar sighed softly and returned to the Matter Plane. He looked at the other people who were as silent as cicadas in winter and felt that it was boring. He left a sentence, "Send Garen back" and left.
