Chapter 1293

"No! No!"

"Lord Nightmare King!"

"Spare me!"

Accompanied by the continuous screams and pleas for mercy from the nightmares, the 【Dream-Eating Alien Armor】, which should have been extinct, appeared in the Fallen Soul Black Abyss in another way, devouring the nightmares gathered around in large numbers.

And with the dual "feeding" of himself and the Dream-Eating Alien Armor, the mirror crown on Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang's head, which had been chopped in half, actually showed faint signs of restoration.

I have already warned you!

Looking at the cleaners who were shocked into retreating by the rapidly expanding sea of insects, Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang, whose size had expanded countless times, snorted coldly with satisfaction and then accelerated his "feeding" speed again.

The cleaners' previous performance was likely them waiting for reinforcements. For him, the longer things dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became. But right now, he couldn't run away, and if he turned back to fight the "original body," he would easily be slowly "assimilated."

Then, he only had one path left... to directly and forcibly supplement the remaining 【Nightmare】 authority by devouring a large number of nightmares born in the nightmare, and thoroughly become the new Nightmare Lord!

Although the number of nightmares needed to be devoured to complete the 【Nightmare】 authority in this way was terrifying—fearing he would have to eat empty more than half of the Fallen Soul Black Abyss—it was all worth it!

As long as he could thoroughly cross the divide between man and god and become a true deity, it would be equivalent to receiving recognition from the entire Dream Realm. And by that time, he would be able to thoroughly immunize himself against assimilation from the "original body" and become a true Nightmare King without weaknesses!

Under Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang's full-force urging, relying on the millions of nightmares gathered nearby as "nourishment," the carpet of insects spreading from Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang as the center began to grow exponentially and crazily. No matter how the cleaners tried to kill them, the black-gold beetles only increased the more they were killed.

"These bugs... there are too many!"

"They simply can't be killed off!"

"We're not going to be able to stop him!"

No! This absolutely cannot go on!

Amidst the anxious responses of the cleaners, Hearing Hearing Li Ang looked at the black-gold beetles that simply couldn't be killed, and gazed at the fake in the distance who had already repaired his mirror crown, his aura undergoing a subtle transformation. He couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

"Senior Abigail!"

"Ah?"

"I'm really sorry about this!"

When he shouted Abigail's name, Hearing Hearing Li Ang's figure was still in the distance, yet by the time he apologized with a look of regret, he had already arrived behind Abigail.

No... not again?

After being grabbed by the arm by Hearing Hearing Li Ang once more, Abigail, who guessed what he was preparing to do, felt her whole body go numb.

Big brother! This is the third time already! What grudge or grievance do I have with you? With so many people around, why do you have to fixate on eating me? Also, can you just give me a quick end? If you're going to eat me, just... ah!

Under the incredibly shocked gaze of the cleaners, Hearing Hearing Li Ang, who had looked human enough just a moment ago, suddenly swelled dozens of times in size, and his originally clean, fair skin instantly turned bright red.

A large amount of blood, which seemed as if it would never run dry, was flowing down along his head and face, sticky and ceaseless, dripping into the black river water below, while an ancient door separating life and death was slowly unfolding behind his back.

Does "feeding" in the Dream Realm, which is also a non-material realm, actually cause strange phenomena? After glancing at the phantom of the Gate of Death with surprise, and because the "fake" looked like he was about to ascend to godhood and the situation was urgent, Hearing Hearing Li Ang did not investigate further. Instead, he opened his mouth directly and threw the screaming Abigail inside.

He actually ate her, for real!!!!!!!!

Even though they had already been "pre-warned" several times that Hearing Hearing Li Ang would have a huge appetite once pushed into a corner, witnessing him swallow Abigail in one gulp still left the cleaners greatly shocked.

However, what shocked them even more was...

It seemed it still wasn't enough.

Grabbing the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】, which had also become very large, and slashing away a large swath of the sea of insects spreading to his feet, Hearing Hearing Li Ang estimated the proliferation speed of the black-gold beetles and couldn't help but frown.

Immediately following, Hearing Hearing Li Ang's blood-stained, giant figure vanished instantly. When he appeared again, he was already behind a Level 2 cleaner from the Aries Branch, grabbing him as he was trying to run away.

"Senior, sorry about this."

How are you sorry? You clearly aren't sorry at all!

After being scooped up by Hearing Hearing Li Ang, the Aries Branch cleaner, who was crying without tears, knew there was no saving him. He gathered his last bit of courage and shouted before being thrown into Hearing Hearing Li Ang's mouth:

"Ashima! Hurry and take them and run! Don't get... ah!!!"

Following the "pre-death" warning from the Aries Branch cleaner, the remaining cleaners reacted immediately. Relying on the acceleration provided by the 【Mino-shir Curse Mercury】 on their bodies, they began to flee frantically in the direction away from Hearing Hearing Li Ang.

But before they could even start, Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang, who had discovered the "original body's" soul strength had surged, had already reacted. He began to forcibly drive the nightmares and black-gold beetles to jointly strangle them, attempting to kill these "nourishments" that would make the "original body" stronger.

Even driving the nightmares wasn't enough. To speed up the killing efficiency and avoid these "nourishments" being eaten by the "original body," Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang's hand had already rested on the mirror crown on his head again.

Bad!

Upon noticing Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang's actions, Hearing Hearing Li Ang's gaze couldn't help but narrow slightly, and he immediately activated the 【Unfair Snake Contract】, forcibly swapping the entire 【Mino-shir Curse Mercury】 over.

Under the extreme speed provided by the Curse Mercury, Hearing Hearing Li Ang transformed into a streak of silver light. Whenever he discovered a cleaner who couldn't hold on, he would immediately prioritize rushing over to save them, except for the method of saving them...

The safest place right now is inside my stomach!

And it's not just the cleaners; the nightmares on the way to save people are the same! Anything that can be sent in must be sent in!

Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang had the protection of the gray fog robe, and he couldn't hurt him for the time being. If he swallowed the nightmares before him, he could also slow down his speed of continuing to "evolve"!

So... must eat! And eat fiercely!

In the extremely fearful expressions of the cleaners, the blood-covered Hearing Hearing Li Ang seemed to have truly gone mad. Just like Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang on the other side, he grabbed whatever he could and stuffed it into his mouth. Even due to the extreme speed bonus provided by the 【Curse Mercury】, his feeding speed wasn't much slower than Nightmare Hearing Hearing Li Ang's.

Facing the extremely frantic feeding of the two Leons, only a few hours passed before the entire nearby area was swept clean by the two of them. The million nightmares that had originally gathered here were actually eaten without a drop left.

Except for Amien, who was holding the Pisces Director's hand, and a conch hiding behind them trembling, the surroundings had been eaten into a state of deathly silence by the two, empty except for the pitch-black water of the Nightmare River.
