Chapter 1573
Chapter 1573: Section 1574: Further Resolution Chapter 1573: Section 1574: Further Resolution The Ability Tree may not have much use for now, but that's simply because there are not many abilities that take effect in the Wilderness of Dreams.
It functions like a main brain, capable of maneuvering the other components constituted by abilities within the system.
As more abilities come into effect, the role of the Ability Tree as the main brain will naturally become increasingly significant.
Angel himself is very satisfied with obtaining the Ability Tree, because it is almost certain that the Ability Tree is the most core authority within the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain.
Angel's persistence in core authority is due to the issue of control.
In the future, the Wilderness of Dreams will definitely be opened to others, and by then, those coveting the Wilderness of Dreams will certainly be many. Only by obtaining the core authority can one truly control the Wilderness of Dreams.
Fortunately, he withstood the dreadful repercussions of the Scroll of Fortune and eventually succeeded in obtaining the Ability Tree.
After Angel acquired the Ability Tree, the next step was to find ways to expand his authorities.
Angel himself feels that his body has not yet reached the limit of accommodating authorities, and he should be able to contain new authorities. However, considering his current physical condition in reality, Angel has not chosen to continue accommodating and has decided to wait until later.
Angel temporarily refrains from fusing new authorities, so he can only entrust others. After all, the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain contains too many authorities, even if he becomes a Legendary Wizard, it's estimated that he won't be able to fuse all the authorities.
The significance of the Wilderness of Dreams is self-evident, and the choice of who to fuse authorities with must be extremely cautious. In Angel's mind, only Sanders and Frode are currently qualified to take on the authorities.
Sanders is the pioneer who created the Nightmare Realm, and his control over the Nightmare Realm is definitely above Angel's. Having him fuse with the authorities is naturally excellent.
As for Frode, he is actually the proposer of the Wilderness of Dreams, practices dream-related disciplines, and has also sworn an oath to Angel, so Angel also trusts him.
As for his brother Lyon, although Angel wouldn't mind him fusing with authorities, Lyon's strength is not high, and what he practices is unrelated to Nightmare Illusion and the Dream Realm.
In conclusion, only Sanders and Frode are suitable.
Therefore, after his own fusion, Angel plans to let Sanders fuse with new authorities.
They had already agreed before fusing authorities that if the Scroll of Fortune took effect, Angel would choose to fuse with the core authority, and Sanders would choose to fuse with authority related to manipulating energy.
As long as one can bring real-world strength into the Wilderness of Dreams, many things can be accomplished.
For example, Angel's most anticipated Infinite Alchemy; or to a considerable degree, having the ability to ward off foreign enemies. The aforementioned foreign enemies, naturally, were creatures from outside the Wilderness of Dreams, and now include creatures of the Mist of Sin.
In addition, there are many of Angel's concepts, such as allowing Nature Witches to improve the environment of the Wilderness of Dreams and so on… These things, which could only be done through authorities, could also be done using the strength of a Wizard.
Therefore, obtaining the authority to control energy is imperative.
Because acquiring authorities from the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain is completely random, like a lottery with no guaranteed win. So, to increase the success rate, Sanders also plans to use the Scroll of Fortune when fusing with authorities.
With the help of the Dream Conch, Angel re-projected a Scroll of Fortune into the Wilderness of Dreams, and then proceeded to the main topic.
The Scroll of Fortune is still in Angel's hands, and he will still be the user when it is used.
Since Sanders himself is unable to detach authorities from the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain, Angel is needed to dissolve the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain to help Sanders fuse. Naturally, the person using the Scroll of Fortune is still Angel.
Having used the Scroll of Fortune for the second time, Angel is now experienced. When he feels that he has entered the “fortunate moment,” he immediately recites the needed thoughts in his mind and then dissolves the Principal Body of the Nightmare Domain with the green pattern.
The effect of the Scroll of Fortune can only last for two to three seconds. When the fortunate moment fades from his body, a luminous sphere also timely sheds a speck of light.
This speck of light signifies the new authority “drawn” this time.
Angel immediately captures the speck of light to prevent it from reverting back to the Wilderness of Dreams. Then without any hesitation, he uses “Fusion,” and the speck of light, along with the green pattern, is injected into Sanders's body.
Sanders, despite having been told by Angel that fusion of Authorities could be incredibly disorienting, had prepared himself well. However, when the speck of light entered his body, he couldn't help but stagger slightly, as a torrent of information rushed into his consciousness.
Fortunately, Sanders had already been sitting on the ground, saving him from the embarrassment of falling over.
Even though Sanders felt somewhat dizzy, he wasn't nearly as uncomfortable as Angel had been, so he just sat with his eyes closed the whole time, silently assimilating the deluge of information entering his mind.
Angel stood by, looking at Sanders' unflappable demeanor, and recalling his own earlier writhing and screaming on the ground, he felt an almost overwhelming urge to facepalm.
Maybe Sanders was just toughing it out, and his physical body in reality was already on the verge of collapse? Carrying this somewhat sinister hope, Angel decided to go back to reality to see for himself.
But upon returning to the real world, Angel remembered something Sanders had mentioned–that his own physical body was a sorry sight to behold. So, when Angel returned to reality, he was greeted by pain throughout his entire body.
Thankfully, Sanders had previously healed his physical form, so the pain wasn't unbearably intense.
Enduring the discomfort, Angel lifted his gaze to look at Sanders.
He saw Sanders sitting across on a sofa, fully dressed in noble gentleman's attire, his hair meticulously combed, serenely closing his eyes, maintaining an elegant posture even in repose.
Angel's malicious thoughts came to nothing, and he had to endure the pain in his body as he re-entered the Wilderness of Dreams.
The process of Authority fusion typically took a long time–the shortest fusion for Angel had exceeded ten hours. Therefore, it was unlikely that Sanders would awaken any time soon.
Angel decided to use this time to further study the Ability Tree.
He had only briefly looked over the functions of the Ability Tree before, but under each Authority, there were many detailed pieces of information and sub-functions.
Angel focused his attention on the 'Mist of Sin' Authority, starting to examine it more seriously.
Time passed, and about three hours later, Angel had only just finished reading the general information about the Mist of Sin, not having delved into the finer details. This showed how vast the amount of information contained within an Authority could be.
However, even just from the general information, Angel had gained a lot.
Unfortunately, most of these gains were not good news.
Previously, Angel had thought the Mist of Sin referred exclusively to that black mist. But the truth wasn't so simple. Indeed, the black mist was the Mist of Sin, but it was only one of the manifestations of the Mist of Sin.
The Authorities of the Wilderness of Dreams, although “pseudo” rules, still conformed to some properties of rules, such as Authorities being mostly conceptual, with no physical form.
The Mist of Sin was no exception.
The black mist could be called the Mist of Sin, but the Mist of Sin couldn't be reduced to just the black mist. The black mist was merely a manifestation, and the Mist of Sin could take on many other forms, like gray mist, red mist, blue mist, etc.
In other words, the black mist they had seen before was only one of the Mists of Sin.
It was very possible that more Mists of Sin could arise in other locations.
Even within Originheart City itself, Mist of Sin could potentially appear.
For the residents of the Dream Realm in Originheart City, this was certainly not good news.
Having learned this, Angel grew even more hopeful that the Authority Sanders was about to gain would have something to do with controlling energy. Otherwise, if creatures born of sin forces invaded Originheart City, it would be a catastrophic disaster.
After reading through the information about the Mist of Sin, the only relatively good news for Angel was that although he couldn't reclaim the Mist of Sin Authority, he could still use it to a limited extent through the Ability Tree.
For example, controlling creatures born of sin forces.
Angel had known before that he could control creatures born of sin forces, but he had not anticipated what it would feel like to do so–
