NOVEL NEXT Chapter 378 Damn, You Must Be Cheating!_3
These good times had lasted for a long time.
During this period, I also had many names.
Unfortunately,
later I encountered that Time-Space Dragon."
"Time-Space Dragon?"
Seeing the woman's desire to confide, and not very eager to make a move, Brian tried to extract more information.
The woman nodded.
She explained,
"The Time-Space Dragon is the one you know.
He was surprised by my existence and said I was a Favored of the Blood Moon, trying to devour me.
He was terrifying.
I was no match for him at all, didn't even have a chance to escape, and was swallowed by him directly.
I thought I was going to die.
But that wasn't the case.
It was then that I realized I was completely different from those Mutants.
The Gift I received was one of the Blood Moon Origin Power.
I am an immortal being.
The Time-Space Dragon devoured me, but ended up being parasitized by me.
I happily devoured part of his consciousness, then he forcibly severed a part of my consciousness.
He used his powerful Rule Power to grind me up forcefully.
The process was quite painful.
I still didn't die, but at a great cost.
However, I didn't come away empty-handed.
After digesting the devoured consciousness, I gained a lot of that Time-Space Dragon's memories, and following my instincts, I opened my Heart Domain.
For a long period after that.
I continued my former life, just more low-key.
I began to parasitize extensively, placing the devoured entities inside globally dying individuals, passively strengthening.
As the number of devoured individuals grew,
My Rule Power grew stronger, and I began to dream frequently, spending a long time asleep.
Under these circumstances, I could no longer lead the activities of the parasite bodies, but let myself fall into sleep, wandering in each parasite's dreamscape, avoiding the dragon, and incidentally absorbing information continuously fragmenting into my memory."
At this point, the woman grinned at Brian:
"Actually, I should thank you!
Thank you for your presence!
Brian, my brother, not related by blood!
A dreamscape is a terrifying place.
The Spirit Realm we are in now is just the first layer of the dreamscape.
And the place I reside in, equivalent to a dream within a dream, is the second and third layers of the dreamscape.
It is a place without any regularity.
One moment it might be sunny, the next it turns to rainy season, and it might disappear and reappear any time.
What's more despicable is,
Taking advantage of my sleep,
My host, that bitch, seeing any creature she fancies, immediately offers her own blood, allowing my power to continuously parasitize on various individuals, optimizing their power, also causes me to get increasingly lost, unable to return to reality."
Hearing this, Brian laughed, "This is quite normal, a person raised in a good family atmosphere can't go too bad."
He finally understood why this female Mutant's strength was so vastly different.
Apparently, the previous female Mutant essentially only had a part of the power of the woman in front of him.
The real owner of the power, this woman, to avoid the dragon's pursuit, was actually trapped deep in the dreamscape.
He looked at the woman, "So, how did I help you?"
"Your dog."
She saw Brian laugh and smiled along,
"My host likes small animals, so when she was captured, seeing your dog used as bait by the person who rescued her, she decided to kill and then left the dog behind, but also fed the dog her blood, hence I established a connection with that dog.
Actually, this was of no help for my escape, instead, it added the dog's dream to the dreamscape confining me.
Until your arrival.
Some time ago, you actually tried to pull that dog into your Heart Domain."
The woman's smile grew more natural, "Its dreams are here with me, how could it possibly be pulled into your illusory Heart Domain? Thanks to the Mother Goddess, Brian, the scent of origin power on you essentially provided me with a coordinate, so, I kept getting closer to your Heart Domain through the dog's dreams, finally managing to escape the maze composed of countless dreams."
Well…
Brian understood all his previous doubts now.
Such as the female Mutant suddenly turning into a boss…
The dragon being mentally unclear…
Shi San frequently dreaming lately and looking pallid…
Now he had the answers.
…
Just then.
Brian sensed something.
He looked at the woman, "So, you haven't told me yet, what exactly is your name?"
The woman shook her head, "Past names are meaningless, the real name...you'll naturally understand when you awaken."
"Awakening?"
Brian seemed to let his guard down, his form shrinking, his power restrained.
The woman explained, "After you reach the Fifth Rank, you'll understand what Awakening is, before that, devouring you is of no use to me, I originally just wanted to parasitize that dog, waiting for you to mature, but then you discovered it, never mind, you should go back, I won't make a move against you before you awaken."
Brian was about to say something.
A powerful presence, approaching rapidly from afar.
The woman, unreacting, just waved at Brian, "Stop pretending, I know you're intentionally luring that dragon here, what's the point? For a Favored like me who possesses Blood Moon Origin Power, a servant of the Mother Goddess like the Time-Space Dragon has no way to deal with us..."
The next moment.
Snap~
Brian's form, like a bubbling board shattering, disappeared in front of the woman.
Turns out he had run away long ago.
