Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 799 Awakening, the miraculous transformation of the Gray Mist King!

Upon hearing this, the other three powerful beings did not respond.

Because they all knew how powerful the Papacy was.

Even if they hadn't been stripped of their divine status, they wouldn't have dared to confront this behemoth head-on, even at their peak.

At this moment, the God of Echo spoke again, saying, "Wait... a little longer..."

"We...have just...restored...our demigodhood..."

"Wait... for us... to condense... a wisp of divine power..."

"At most... two months..."

"At crucial...moments...it can unleash...power surpassing that of a demigod..."

Upon hearing this, the other three powerful beings remained silent for a moment before agreeing with the statement.

...

...

at the same time.

After the curse was lifted, Cao Xing continued to wander around the territory.

Just then, he suddenly saw a faint light appear in the second ring area of ​​his territory.

"There, the location of the Dream Library..."

"Could it be?"

Cao Xing seemed to realize something.

Seven days ago, he contacted the Gray Mist King, Grey Phantom Mist.

Furthermore, in exchange for 100 fragments of divine power, the Gray Mist King was allowed to enter the Dream Library and experience the building's magical abilities.

Judging by the time, today is roughly the time he woke up.

"Perfect, let's see what this Gray Mist King brought out of the dream."

With that in mind, Cao Xing quickly headed towards the Second Ring Road area.

Before long, they saw the rather mysterious building standing on the ground, which was the Dream Library.

However, the hazy bubbles that had enveloped the entire library had disappeared, and the oak doors were now open.

A dwarf, wearing an ill-fitting, floor-length robe and exuding an air of authority, stood in the doorway.

He seemed somewhat dazed at the moment, clearly having spent a considerable amount of time in a dream and not yet fully conscious.

It wasn't until he sensed Cao Xing's presence that the Gray Mist King snapped out of his daze.

"Lord Cao Xing! I've finally seen you again!"

He let out a sharp cry of surprise and quickly ran over with his short legs, his movements looking somewhat comical.

Cao Xing looked at the excited dwarf king and smiled, "Your Majesty Grey, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this greeting, the Gray Mist King paused in his steps, a look of emotion appearing in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, murmuring, "It really has been a long time..."

"I never imagined that the experience in this dream would be so real."

"I spent almost thirty years in there!"

At this point, he abruptly changed his tone, his voice suddenly becoming sharp: "Lord Cao Xing, you have no idea how I've spent these past few decades!"

"I've turned into a baby crow!"

"It's the kind of crow that has such an unpleasant cawing that even the villagers will chase it away!"

"More importantly, I had just hatched from my egg when that damned crow kicked me out of the nest, leaving me to fend for myself!"

He seemed to have not spoken to anyone for decades, and suddenly he started talking non-stop.

Cao Xing stood there listening silently with a smile on his face.

And so, the Gray Mist King spoke on and on for a full half hour, finally finishing recounting his experiences in the dream.

After listening patiently, Cao Xing gave a summary.

Simply put.

The Gray Mist King transformed into a raven and was born in a bird's nest deep in the mountains, a place rarely visited by humans.

However, for some reason, its body is somewhat abnormal.

Not only is its fur gray, making it completely different from its siblings who hatched at the same time.

Moreover, with each breath, a faint mist would spill from the side of his beak.

In the eyes of the mother crow, the chick looked like an anomaly, an ominous sign.

So, on a cold night, it was pecked out of its nest and fell into the pile of decaying leaves below!

Faced with the threat of death, the Gray Mist King unleashed his body's full potential.

Dragging its injured wings, it rummaged through the soil for decaying insects, berries, and even nibbled on fungi on dead wood.

Whenever it pants, the mist swirls around it, making it difficult for predators to pinpoint its location.

And so, it survived with great difficulty.

Then, it continued to grow in that mountain range, and after several years of solitude, it gradually learned how to manipulate the fog.

It can not only use the mist to blur its figure and evade the pursuit of eagles and falcons, but also create misty clones to lure foxes into traps.

It can even condense mist into fine needles, which can then pierce the eyes of its prey...

Through various means, the Gray Mist King quickly became a fourth-tier Gray Feather Raven.

Several years later, it encountered a turning point in its fate.

The Gray Mist King found a strange mushroom deep in the mountains.

The cap resembles charred remains after burning, while the gills continuously exude a mist of spores.

It could sense that the mushroom contained some kind of strange power, but it also felt an unprecedented longing!
Thus, the body's instinctive desires drove it to devour the strange mushroom.

In an instant, excruciating pain swept through my entire body!

Its feathers peeled off as if burned by flames, only to be reassembled in the mist.

Under this extreme pain, the Gray Mist King's size increased several times over, with a wingspan approaching two meters.

The feathers turned to ash-like texture, each one shrouded in lingering mist.

More importantly, it discovered that it could summon and control flocks of fog crows.

The gray ravens formed from the mist spread throughout the entire mountain range, becoming both its eyes and ears and its claws.

And so, the Gray Mist King grew stronger and stronger with this ability.

It took him more than a decade to become the strongest overlord of this mountain range.

It perches on the tallest dead tree, while flocks of fog crows circle the territory like dark clouds.

It will detect any creature that sets foot in this mountain range immediately.

After a series of twists and turns, the Gray Mist King, in his guise as the Ash Raven, began to emerge from the mountains.

And leading his flock of fog crows, he conquered mountain ranges and human cities.

In the end, it became a legendary raven that ascended to the throne.

They left behind an immortal legend in that world.

...

After listening to his story, Cao Xing asked with great interest, "Your Majesty, your dream experiences over the past few decades have indeed been quite fascinating."

"But what did you bring back from your dream?"

Upon hearing this question, the Gray Mist King chuckled softly, his voice suddenly becoming incredibly hoarse.

"Hehe...Watch closely, Lord Cao Xing!"

After saying that, he took a step back and suddenly spread his arms wide!

A powerful burst of gray mist erupted, and his figure was instantly swallowed up by the swirling fog!
A pair of enormous raven wings made of gray mist tore through his robes from behind and spread out!

With a wingspan of three to four meters, it looks quite visually striking!
Not only that, his face also began to be covered by ash-like material, turning into a sharp beak like a raven, and his eyes burned with a ghostly blue light!

"Wow—!"

A piercing hoofbeat echoed all around, and countless fog crows gathered in the gray mist, swirling around him like a storm.

The next second, the Gray Mist King raised his claw-like right hand.

"Crash..."

Tens of thousands of crows soared into the sky, like a dark, overcast curtain that covered the entire territory.

The light was completely cut off, and the entire land was plunged into darkness, with only swirling mist and the shadows of crows flitting about.

Moreover, new fog crows kept emerging from the Gray Fog King, as if he had an infinitely prolific crow nest inside his body.

The newly hatched fog crows took flight and merged into the flock, making the shadows in the sky even thicker.

The people who were working stopped what they were doing, looked up at the sky, and their eyes were filled with shock.

"Oh my god... what is that?"

"So many crows! Or like some kind of phantom monster!"

"Is it the power of the lord?"

Even some legendary experts were alarmed.

Assam and Sarah both drew their weapons and stared intently at the scene.

Because the aura emanating from the Gray Mist King at this moment has completely surpassed that of a typical high-level legendary figure, and is even approaching that of the Ice Crystal King who wields the Kingdom's Holy Sword!
Cao Xing looked at the enormous figure shrouded in gray mist and with outstretched raven wings, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty Gray, is this the ability you brought back from the dream?" At this moment, after demonstrating, King Gray Mist quickly withdrew his power.

"call--"

The endless stream of fog crows transformed into a torrent of gray mist, which he absorbed into his body.

His figure gradually shrank, his crow wings folded, and the gray mist dissipated.

He eventually transformed back into that short, dwarf king.

A smug smile appeared on his face as he said, "That's right, Lord Cao Xing!"

"This ability is called [Embrace of Ash Raven], which allows me to briefly enter the 'King of Mist Ravens' state, greatly increasing my strength!"

"In this state, even if Elton were wielding the Kingdom's Holy Sword, I would still beat him to the ground!"

The dwarf king rubbed his fingers together triumphantly, and the phantom of a fog raven appeared, as if showing off.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, a look of envy flashing in his eyes.

Clearly, the ability that the Gray Mist King brought back from the Dream Library far exceeded their expectations.

According to Cao Xing's prediction, this [Embrace of Ash Raven] will increase the Gray Mist King's attributes by at least 100%.

In addition, it can also control fog crows, create fog illusions, and use various other methods.

The overall improvement may have reached 150%!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty Grey." His congratulations were not just polite words, but carried a hint of sincerity.

After all, the stronger the Gray Mist King is as an ally, the more helpful he will be to me.

After his initial smugness, the dwarf king quickly regained his solemn expression: "I must thank Lord Cao Xing for giving me this opportunity."

"You're right, this really is a magical building that can bring about a transformation in the strength of us old guys!"

"When I get back this time, I will definitely promote it well and let more legendary powerhouses experience your building!"

After saying that, he casually waved his hand, and a small bag emitting a faint light flew towards Cao Xing.

"Lord Cao Xing, here is the reward I promised you."

Upon seeing the bag, Cao Xing's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it.

[Obtained: Divine Power Shards *150]

...

When Cao Xing saw the system notification, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes again.

He asked in confusion, "Your Majesty Gray, according to our agreement, wasn't it supposed to be 100 fragments of divine power? You've given too much."

Upon hearing this, the dwarf king smiled and shook his head, saying, "Lord Cao Xing, this is what you deserve."

"In fact, the ability you gave me has been far more than worth it."

"Such a huge improvement, let alone 150 fragments of divine power, is worth it even if it means going bankrupt for us old guys!"

At this point, he shrugged with a hint of regret: "But unfortunately, our daily expenses are quite high, so we don't have many [Divine Power Fragments] in reserve. Otherwise, I would have liked to give you a few more."

"However, I can assure you that if you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will absolutely do my best to help!"

He appeared sincere and warm, without the slightest air of a king.

Cao Xing nodded to himself; this was one of the reasons he was willing to form an alliance with the Gray Mist King.

Although he is shrewd in his actions, at least he won't cheat his own people, and he won't shortchange them on what's due.

Cao Xing smiled and said gently, "Your Majesty Gray is too kind."

"However, I do have a small request that I need your help with."

"Oh? What is it?"

Gray immediately became interested and leaned forward slightly: "Lord Cao Xing, please just name your name. As long as it's within my power."

Cao Xing explained, "It's nothing serious. I plan to invite legendary experts from other countries to my territory later to experience the magical abilities of the [Dream Library]."

"Before that, could you please demonstrate the ability you just acquired to them?"

In fact, there are also a large number of legendary powerhouses in his own territory waiting to enter the [Dream Library] and obtain their own opportunities.

But there's nothing he can do; Cao Xing is currently even more in need of divine power fragments.

Although this time King Grey gave him a full 150 coins, making up for a lot of the gaps.

However, there's still a long way to go before reaching the level of a demigod.

After all, the combat power of a demigod is far greater than the boost gained from entering the [Dream Library].

"No problem, it's just a small favor."

Gray readily agreed, a sly glint in his eyes.

He was happy to show off his newly acquired power to other legends.

"However, which legendary expert did Lord Cao Xing invite?" Gray asked, puzzled.

Cao Xing smiled mysteriously, without answering, and instead pressed the communication device on his ear.

...

...

Probably a few minutes later.

A dazzling light shone from the territory's teleportation array, causing space to distort slightly.

As the light gradually faded, two figures clearly emerged.

On the left is a mature woman wearing a plain-colored long dress, her face showing signs of hardship, yet her elegant demeanor remains undeniable.

Her hair was simply tied up, a few strands of silver hair gleaming softly in the sunlight, and she held an antique accordion in her arms.

On the right is a woman dressed in a magnificent long gown, wearing an orchid crown, with a majestic and regal air.

Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her azure eyes shone with wisdom.

After the two women appeared, they quickly looked around and observed the territory.

Before long, surprise appeared on their beautiful faces.

The two women exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes!
The mature woman on the left gently stroked the accordion in her arms: "As expected of the territory of that chosen lord, the number of powerful people and the level of prosperity here are even more astonishing than the rumors suggest."

The woman on the right nodded slightly: "Yes, I even sensed several threatening forces."

"I just don't know why he called me here now?"

At the same time, two figures approached quickly from a distance.

They walked side by side; the man on the left held a staff and was tall and slender.

On the right is a short dwarf, walking briskly with a loose robe trailing behind him, creating a stark height difference.

It was Cao Xing and the Gray Mist King.

Upon approaching, Cao Xing saw the two women before him, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, it's been a long time."

Then, he looked at the mature woman on his left: "And Senior Rosie, what brings you here too?"

This time, Cao Xing only contacted Queen Youlan, unaware that Rosie would also be coming.

Beside her, the elegant and mature woman explained softly, "When you contacted Xia just now, I was discussing things with her."

"I heard that you sent Shia to your territory, and not long ago you mentioned that there was a young girl in your territory who was skilled in music, so I thought I'd come and take a look."

She paused, then blinked. "What, aren't you happy to see me?"

Cao Xing quickly waved his hand: "Not at all, it's my honor that Senior Rosie could come."

"On the contrary, I have always looked forward to meeting a beautiful and intelligent woman like you again."

"Since our last meeting, Ms. Rosie's elegance and poise have left a deep impression on me."

Even with her experience, Rosie blushed slightly at such a straightforward compliment.

Queen Youlan coughed lightly, interrupting, "Lord Cao Xing, Senior Rosie's experience is far greater than yours, so please stop being so glib."

There was a hint of bitterness in her tone.

Little did she know that her words would only make Rosie more embarrassed.

Beside him, King Gray Mist glanced back and forth between Queen Youlan and Cao Xing, then looked at Rosie.

He felt that something was off about Queen Youlan today.

Gone is her former regal majesty; instead, she resembles a possessive little woman.

Seeing this, Queen Youlan realized she had been somewhat out of line and could only change the subject, saying, "You summoned me here, saying you had something important to discuss. What is it you mean?"

Cao Xing straightened his posture, looked at the Gray Mist King beside him, and said, "Your Majesty Gray, would you please explain this to Her Majesty Shea?"

The Gray Mist King nodded and cleared his throat.

Then, he explained the function of the Dream Library to Queen Yulan and Rosie.

...

...

After hearing this, the two women reacted exactly the same way as the Gray Mist King at first.

Their pupils were constricted, and their eyes held a strong sense of disbelief.

Queen Youlan's voice trembled slightly as she confirmed, "Grey, are you telling the truth? Is there really such a magical place?"

"Not only can you experience a complete life inside, but you can also bring out the special abilities inside?"
