Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 1006 - 837: Hidden Net and Melter’s Roar (6000-Word - !)
The creation of "Witch School Principal" Number Eight Tang Qi was born, and he revealed a cunning smile, choosing not to venture into the Tilos Demon Secret Realm. He and the main body saw what the Black Mud intentionally revealed, which was the Black Mud Asexual currently holding "Sally" hostage in the Principal’s office within the Witch School.
The real Sally was, of course, not present there, but it didn’t stop Tang Qi from dispatching "Number Eight Avatar" for the rescue mission.
Having done this, Tang Qi plunged into waiting.
Meanwhile, across the entire Federation, the cheers of the populace grew increasingly louder.
This even included the President in a secret underground chamber, along with all the staff and the polymath consultants.
Originally meant to be a day of presidential address and the beginning of the Transcendent Era, it started with the appearance of a Bright Blood Road, Radiation Monsters, and a raider civilization fleet—any single event among them was enough to bring immense disaster to the Federation, but now it seemed everything was resolved.
At this moment, countless Federations were extolling the name of "Master Tang."
Simultaneously, hundreds of millions cursed the bizarre face still occupying the screen, oozing black sludge.
Remaining in the President’s office with only Number Two Tang Qi, he stared down the Black Mud.
Seemingly to divert focus, the always silent Number Two Tang Qi opened his mouth for the first time, saying: "Filthy thing that makes me nauseous, do you have other tricks, I’m getting impatient."
After speaking, the Black Mud response everyone expected, including Tang Qi and the millions of citizens, did not arise.
For the first time, too, that face of Black Mud fell silent.
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
Just when everyone thought the Black Mud Man had truly lost all pretense.
Suddenly, a cold, deathly still, soul-freezing voice echoed once more across the Federation, filled with a mocking cold laughter that pierced seamlessly into Tang Qi’s mind.
"One, two, three, four, five, six... seems to be enough, since you can’t wait, then... here we come."
The voice suddenly emerged, causing the Federation to quieten abruptly.
The next second, an unprecedented "Great Horror" descended upon Tang Qi.
The changes began from the Exotic Realm:
In the Hidden Mist Realm, Number Three Avatar, fleeing with the Night Beast, suddenly felt the Night Beast freeze. A mass of dense, knobby, pitch-black viscous sludge gushed out from it and, with a ’hiss’ sound, the Black Mud pierced through the body of Number Three Avatar.
In the Fairy Realm, the unconscious Vernas Little Fairy suddenly opened its eyes, a sludge freezing all poured forth from the gemstone on its brow, and with a gurgling sound, Number Four Tang Qi’s chest shattered.
In the Dark Dimension, Number Six Tang Qi, concealing his presence, manifested into divine tentacles, enveloping Stanna and her baby to leave. Yet in that instant, the Black Mud Man, who had been holding an eerie posture without moving, whipped its head around, grinning sickeningly at Number Six Tang Qi, and pounced.
On Mutated Friday Island, Medida Special Education School, similar scenes occurred.
...
In the President’s office, the terrifying change lashed out at the main body of Tang Qi, and the same expression appeared on Number Two Tang Qi’s face.
It was sheer "shock" and "fear," with the Black Mud Man on the screen so close to him letting out a mocking laugh, suddenly a pair of black, sharp claws stretched out from inside, and a moment ago still on screen, the Black Mud swiftly emerged, splitting its mouth to the extreme.
"Caught you!"
With this spine-chilling voice, the true doomsday scene unfolded within the Dream Kingdom.
Boom!
Rumble!
What was originally a calm, harmonious Dream Kingdom now faced an invasion at this very moment.
Waves of thick, knobby, black mud emanating an aura of death surged out, following the connection between the divine tentacles and the Kingdom, piercing almost all the "Dream Avatars" bodies, directly crossing numerous voids and barriers, plunging into the Dream Kingdom.
Instantly, a disaster even more horrifying than the battle between Ralph and "Corpse Witch Merlin" struck.
With the "guidance," the Dream Kingdom is no longer a secret in the black mud eyes.
Tang Qi’s body is feeling excruciating pain, within his gaze.
A stream of freezing, destructive black mud pierced through, directly breaking the dream barrier, with no "nodes" able to stop the black mud from falling, including the large nodes like the Forest of Ignorance, the Desire Plain, and the Doomsday Volcano. The serene order is broken, and chaos and horror begin to pervade.
Bang!
At the edge of the Forest of Ignorance, Amanda and other dream creatures, who had not yet dispersed, saw a mass of black mud fall from the sky, burrowing into the forest’s underground, filled with a high-level, seemingly irreversible pollution of "black spots," spreading like a plague virus across the entire Pale Forest in the blink of an eye.
Amanda, Tyrone, the Fairy, the Magic Flute Player... they couldn’t resist and upon contact with the black spots turned into gray, lifeless statues, solidified in place.
Apart from a few powerful dream creatures, the same scene is madly replicating and spreading.
Tang Qi finally saw it, within the boundless mystery, an enormous, pitch-black, icy "hidden net" descended without any warning, enveloping the entire Dream Kingdom.
Rumble!
Without delay, the black net, enveloping the entire Dream Kingdom, moved.
Dragging the kingdom towards a newly emerged "island," deep within the boundless mystery, which felt incredibly familiar to Tang Qi.
On that island, a portal composed purely of radiance, majestic and mysterious, is opening.
No need for speculation, alarms rang loudly in Tang Qi’s mind.
Beyond that open portal, it must be where the Origin Divine Race resides... the "Dark Universe."
"The black mud wants to drag me, along with the entire Dream Kingdom, into the Dark Universe?"
Even though he had foreseen this scene, Tang Qi couldn’t exempt himself from the shock at this moment.
His body, the kingdom, were trembling; even as a "Pseudo Sovereign," he was powerless to stop all this from happening.
He finally understood what Sally meant by, "They can render most members of All Spirits’ divine power ineffective," because at this moment, the Dream Divinity is being suppressed.
The "Dream Master" that Tang Qi had transformed into, with billions of divine tentacles frantically twisting, trying to struggle with the hidden net, but its effectiveness was not as strong as imagined, with all nodes within the kingdom trembling, dream creatures scattering in all directions.
Suddenly, Tang Qi abruptly looked towards the borders of the Federation.
The "black mud," which had been hiding all along, was now seeping out bit by bit, beginning to sever the connection between the Dream Kingdom and the "Federation." The dream beams that once rendered the Federation into the Land of Light were fading, and Tang Qi’s "authority" within the Federation was being ruthlessly stripped away....
"We, are all-powerful."
Tang Qi number two looked up and saw the black mud grinning to its limits.
But in the next moment, the scene the black mud anticipated—where this "avatar" would also be pierced by it—did not occur.
Tang Qi number two revealed a mysterious smile at it, with the "self-sacrifice," brewed for a long time deep in his soul, reaching its final moment.
The so-called self-sacrifice is a type of witchcraft only cast by a Melter Wizard at the level of a Molten Furnace Witch King.
In a way, it’s a form of suicide, yet also an act of redemption.
If encountering an unstoppable enemy, to avoid total annihilation, one can self-sacrifice and let their soul enter the Molten Universe.
Without other secrets, Tang Qi number two ought to be the first and only Witch King among all Melter Wizards to cast "self-sacrifice."
Moreover, very rarely, the tone of Tang Qi number two carried a trace of reverence that even made the Molten Master uncomfortable.
"Molten Master, please accept my soul; haven’t you always wanted it?"
With this thought, the body of Tang Qi number two, who was truly a Molten Furnace Witch King, disintegrated, transforming into specks of light flames before the black mud could penetrate.
In the unseen, the cold, deathly silent black mud heard an immensely furious roar:
"No god can claim the soul of my believer, hear me, no god."
