Chapter 64: The cause of the eighth Herrscher's death: Champagne at halftime
"Are you surprised?"
Seeing Ai Yue looking around, the Eighth Herrscher couldn't help but sneer: "Do you think that to defeat the Herrscher of Sentience, it is enough to just kill her body?"
After being humiliated countless times in front of this man, the Eighth Herrscher finally managed to regain some face.
Of course, this is what she thought.
"Oh, so what?" Ai Yue finally turned his gaze back to the Eighth Herrscher. "This is the dream you created in the last moments of your life, right? After your physical body is dead, can your spirit still exist on its own?"
Ai Yue spoke calmly, not caring at all that the expression on the other side was becoming more and more ferocious: "Even if the speed of time in dreams is different from that in reality, how long can you exist?"
"I can live forever!" The Eighth Herrscher finally couldn't help but roar, her tone full of resentment and hatred, "I just need to kill you and take your body!"
For a Herrscher who plays with consciousness, the body is just a container that can be replaced at any time. As long as the spirit and the Herrscher core are there, she will always have a way out.
However, taking over another person's body would cause severe aftereffects and she would go through a period of weakness, so she was unwilling to use this trick unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, the current situation does not allow her to hesitate any longer. Moreover, the culprit who has pushed her into a desperate situation is right in front of her. How can she bear it?
As long as he was killed, not only could she avenge her previous humiliation, but she could also escape from the current crisis, use his identity to recuperate, and even have a chance to disintegrate the Fire Moth from within, completely eliminating this biggest stumbling block. The Eighth Herrscher really couldn't find a reason not to do so.
"Then, what are you still hesitating about?" Ai Yue stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Let me experience the grace of a Herrscher."
"Arrogant!" The Eighth Herrscher roared angrily, and the irresistible power instantly enveloped Ai Yue. "You will drown in your own dreams!"
"You are still willing to give me a sweet dream until now?" Ai Yue said with a smile, "You are a very nice person."
He did not resist, allowing the vortex of power to suck him in.
'Have superficial humans not yet realized the horror of sweet dreams?'
Hearing Ai Yue's words, a hint of sarcasm could not help but appear in the eyes of the Eighth Herrscher.
Nightmares may seem terrifying, but they can cause people to struggle and resist subconsciously. Trying to control such a person will only double the consumption of energy.
But beautiful dreams can make people willingly give up struggling. Even if they realize that something is wrong, they will still sink into it because they cannot give up the beauty of the dream. Ultimately, after their physical vitality is cut off, they will become part of the power of the Herrscher.
Of course, the current Eighth Herrscher cannot use this method to deal with Ai Yue, because she does not have that much time, so she uses all her strength to construct the most impeccable dream in history, which can materialize the deepest desire hidden in Ai Yue's heart and use the most beautiful ideal in his heart to completely defeat him.
Although this would consume a large amount of mental energy, the Eighth Herrscher could fully bear it. After all, it was just a human desire. No matter how different it was from ordinary people, what could he imagine?
When Ai Yue is completely immersed in the dream, she will seize the opportunity to completely destroy his consciousness!
Therefore, the opponent's only chance of survival is to find a way to kill the consciousness of the Eighth Herrscher before he falls into the dream.
So when she saw Ai Yue disappear in the vortex of the dream, the Eighth Herrscher breathed a sigh of relief. She was originally worried that the big-breasted nun whose mental power was so strong that it was not like that of a human would try to stop her, but she didn't know whether the other party trusted Ai Yue too much or was careless, and she had not taken any action until now.
Now, all she has to do is wait until Ai Yue's consciousness completely subsides.
The Eighth Herrscher felt the other party's gradually declining mental fluctuations and couldn't help but smile.
She had already begun to imagine her plan after taking over Ai Yue's body. How could she use his identity to alienate the relationships within the Fire Moths, destroy their trust, and then find a way to contact the top leaders of the Fire Moths, tame them as her servants, and then drive them to start a war, dragging the entire human civilization into the quagmire of war...
'No, why is the mental energy consumption so exaggerated?!'
A moment later, the Eighth Herrscher suddenly woke up from her ambitions. Feeling her mental energy being drastically consumed, her face suddenly turned ugly.
The dream she prepared specifically for Ai Yue would consume different amounts of mental energy depending on what the other person desired. If the other person just desired a happy family, it would only consume very little mental energy. But if the other person desired to be the ruler of a country, then a large amount of mental energy would be consumed to construct a dream of a national scale for him.
But now this level of consumption has far exceeded the level of a national dream. What on earth is this bastard doing in his dream? Is he gathering all the humans in the world together for a party?
She couldn't wait any longer. If she continued like this, even if she took over the other person's body, she would fall into a long period of weakness. How could she carry out her plan then?
Thinking of this, the Eighth Herrscher no longer hesitated. She closed her eyes and immediately sank into Ai Yue's dream, intending to wipe him out while he was sketching out his fantasy.
The next second, when she opened her eyes, everything she looked at was covered in lush green light.
Where the hell is this? Is this still Earth?
The verdant light came from nowhere, covering every corner of the Eighth Herrscher's sight. Surrounding her were mountains so high that the tops could not be seen, making her feel as small as an ant. Even these mountains themselves emitted the same verdant light. In the eyes of the Herrscher, they actually exuded a kind of sacred feeling that soothed the soul.
The Eighth Herrscher explored this dream with her mental power, and was shocked to find that such a scene covered almost all of the surface of the planet. In addition, there were countless glowing giants shuttling between the mountains, revealing a vibrant scene.
Only then did the Eighth Herrscher understand that those glowing lights were not mountains at all, but cities belonging to the giants!
No wonder the mental energy consumption is so huge, this is basically creating a whole new world in the dream!
But why is such a clear and real world what Ai Yue desires deep in his heart? What plans does he have for the future?
The Eighth Herrscher vaguely realized that she might have discovered something extraordinary.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere around her became subtle.
She subconsciously looked around, and found that she was surrounded by giants without knowing when. Some of them were standing on the ground, and some were floating in the air, but their glowing eyes were all fixed on her.
Although she was in a dream created by her own mental power, the Eighth Herrscher felt at that moment that she had become someone else's prey.
