Caesar fell from the sky and landed on the hard steel ground amidst the flying sand and stones.
In the distance, the giant golden wheel that looked like a ferris wheel occupied half of the sky. It floated in the air and rotated slowly. It was faintly discernible in the clouds. It seemed to be very far away and no rumbling could be heard. There was a faint, unknown sour smell in the air.
"This is …"
Black Dragon frowned and turned his body. If there was no confusion in his consciousness, he should still be in a deep sleep. His body should be undergoing a new phase of amplification and adjustment after choosing [I am the Empire]. His soul should also be in an unconscious state, waiting for the end of his deep sleep to wake up naturally. How could he suddenly appear in this place?
What was going on with this scene in front of him?
Caesar held his breath and looked out along the ground. His psionic energy and perception spread out in all directions. But before he could discover anything, the space suddenly shook. The steel ground under his feet and the giant golden wheel in the distance collapsed in an instant. They shattered into pieces like a mirror and were swallowed up by the deep darkness.
Then, the Black Dragon felt the world spin and churn violently. A strong gravitational force surged from the bottom and dragged him down continuously.
But in this situation, the Black Dragon calmed down and was not as vigilant and lost as before. This was because in this short period of time, he had already noticed some clues and smelled a familiar scent. He knew that his body was still sleeping in the underground cave in the Northern Mountains. His consciousness and soul were also safe and sound, and there was no abnormality.
This was the Black Dream.
Caesar was clearly aware that he was in the Black Dream Space, but he didn't know why this place would suddenly change appearance. When this thing appeared, there were no books or guides to guide it. The Black Dragon also only had a smattering of knowledge about it. Even now, it was still trying to figure it out. Caesar didn't have a clue about the sudden change in the Black Dream, and could only quietly wait and watch.
The Black Dragon continued to fall under the influence of gravity. In the process, Caesar saw huge corpses of different shapes and sizes. They were all Astral World creatures, and their bodies were comparable to planets. They were lying in the endless dark space.
In the meantime, the change in gravity forced him to roll abruptly, knocking into some floating debris of meteorites. At the same time, he also saw some withered material planes. They were dilapidated and blurry, covered by darkness.
He didn't know if this was an illusion created by Black Dream or if these things really existed in the Star Plane.
After an immeasurable amount of time, the powerful dragging sensation suddenly disappeared. Caesar had finally reached the finish line. This fellow had maintained his condition quite well. The illusions in the Black Dragon's dream were very realistic. There was a dull pain from the impact of the meteors, but it was not enough to shatter the Black Dragon's armor. Instead, there were a few times when the gravitational force tore at him midway, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable and sore in his muscles.
Caesar's pupils moved as he sized up the situation around him. He wanted to know what Black Dream was going to show him.
This was a vast and empty land. Even with Caesar's eyesight, he couldn't see the end of it. It was deathly still, quiet, and devoid of life. The ground was dark red, and there was no end to it. There was no boundary wall at the top. He could see many floating meteorites above him. Some were incomparably huge, surpassing the mountains, and some were very ordinary, not even as big as a fireplace. From low altitude to the end of the sky, there were countless of them.
This place was like an isolated island floating in the Star Plane that no one cared about.
"Can't I leave?" He tried for a while, and found that he couldn't leave Black Dream for the time being.
He didn't panic. Caesar moved his limbs casually and wandered around the land. He wanted to see if there was any life in this place, but in the end, he didn't find anything. The dark red land was deathly still like a tomb. Even the flow of air was very slow and sluggish.
The Black Dragon circled around for a while before flapping its wings and flying high up into the sky. He gazed into the distance as far as he could to see the whole picture of this place.
Then, he made a new discovery. In a certain direction, there was a faint light at the end of the horizon. Caesar pondered for a moment, and then increased his speed as he flew forward.
Rumble.
This fellow's speed was very fast. When it swept past at a low altitude, it would bring about loud noises and turbulence. It was like an extra-large supersonic fighter jet, able to cross hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye. Along the way, Caesar found that the ground below was an unchanging dark red. Even vegetation couldn't be seen.
In front of him, the light gradually became more and more brilliant as it rushed into the sky.
"Hmm?"
After flying for a while, Caesar saw something in front of him. It was the giant golden wheel that he had seen before. It appeared in front of his eyes again. It was huge and ancient, and its whole body was dazzling. It slowly rotated, and the light rushed into the sky, releasing a rich energy.
Almost at the next moment when the Black Dragon saw this scene, the tentacles shook the ground. The dark purple tentacles that were full of suction cups rose from the cracks in the ground one after another, stirring up the soil under their feet. They quickly wrapped around the giant golden wheel, slowing it down and stopping it. The suction cups on the tentacles sucked, and in a few minutes, the dazzling giant wheel quickly dimmed.
Caesar's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously stepped back. He felt a sense of familiarity with these twisted and abominable tentacles, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
The giant golden wheel was tilting and collapsing. It was not until the giant wheel's light completely disappeared that the tentacles around it were willing to let go, reluctantly retreating. Then, they seemed to have noticed Caesar's gaze, as if they had found a new prey. They excitedly flapped and twisted, and their roots broke through the rock and soil as they rushed over.
At the same time, a chaotic murmur came from all directions. The voice was not in the common language or any language that Caesar could understand. Even the vocal organs of ordinary creatures could not produce such a strange tone, but it went straight to Caesar's heart, letting him understand the meaning of the murmur out of thin air.
"Wake up, return to my body, become a part of me."
"What is this?!"
Caesar suddenly raised his head, and the sky suddenly darkened. The vast sky that was originally filled with meteors was now occupied by a huge bloodshot eye. They were all staring in the same direction, staring at the Black Dragon below.
Even someone as determined as Caesar was shocked by this situation. The Black Dragon's roar shook the wilderness. It was the roar of the Black Dragon to hide his uneasiness.
* Rumble … *
The earth trembled, and a tentacle dozens of meters long suddenly broke out of the ground. Caesar subconsciously dodged to the side, but he was still one step too late because he was not paying attention. The tentacle was as fast as lightning, and the tip of the tentacle was like a spiral knife. It easily pierced through Caesar's right wing, nailing him in the air.
"This … is not an illusion!"
Excruciating pain came. Caesar was shocked to find that his soul was really injured. The suckers on the surface of the twisted and disgusting tentacle were sucking, and the psionic energy in his body suddenly boiled, gushing out of the wound like a flood.
At the same time, the Black Dragon, who was sleeping at the bottom of the mountain range north of Airadia, showed a painful expression on his face. A huge burning hole suddenly appeared on his folded right wing, and blood gushed out.
"Chi …"
A low groan came from afar, as if laughing. More tentacles stretched out from the ground and attacked the Black Dragon.
A terrifying thought appeared in Caesar's mind. He suddenly realized that if he did not fight and get rid of the trouble in front of him, he might really die. He would be devoured and digested, and his body that was sleeping in the north might never wake up again.
There was no time to think about the cause and effect. Caesar broke free from the tentacle on his right wing and burst out with all his strength.
"Singularity Furnace, load!"
"Antimatter Generator, load!"
