Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 140 The Host Angel
As soon as Sophia finished speaking, Geppetto shook his head regretfully and said:
"This is not your true personality, Carlo. I will wake you up."

Numerous blue energy threads burst out from between Geppetto's fingers...sweeping the entire place!
In an instant, blue silk thread wrapped around Pinocchio, causing the puppet boy's expression to freeze. A strange look filled his eyes, and his expression changed from the innocence of a boy to a coldness that had never been seen before.

He quickly took two steps back and nodded respectfully to Jippetto, saying, "Father, I'm back."

As he spoke, Pinocchio raised his sword towards Li Nanke, assumed a fighting stance, his eyes full of resentment.

Carlo's consciousness has been sleeping in Pinocchio's power heart. He watched Pinocchio's personality awaken and was fooled around by a tracker named Black Rabbit, just like an underage fool.

Whatever the Black Rabbit told Pinocchio to do, that silly boy did it. He was more obedient than the damn puppet. This made Carlo so ashamed and angry that he wished he could wake up immediately and kill him.

But only a part of Carlo's consciousness is sealed in the power heart. He cannot suppress Pinocchio's awakening personality with his incomplete consciousness. He can only be a bystander, waiting for the reunion with his father Geppetto.

Although Geppetto did not use the Great Contract to bind the puppet body, he could completely control Pinocchio by using the alchemical gloves, causing his personality to fall asleep, allowing the real Carlo to take over the puppet body.

The blue energy thread not only connects Pinocchio, who has become Carlo, but also connects Romeo, the puppet king who has fallen to the ground and become paralyzed.

Under Geppetto's control, Romeo stood up again, being manipulated like a war machine.

Although his power heart was damaged and he could not control his body autonomously, the control instructions came from the blue thread, which completely took over the control of his body.

Romeo's face was in a state of struggle, and he shouted angrily: "Gipetto, let me go!"

"I swear, I will kill you..."

Halfway through his words, the puppet king's two mechanical eyes became dull, and he muttered:

"Grand Contract Law No. 0, the Creator is Geppetto...Grand Contract Law No. 0, the Creator is Geppetto..."

"Current order, kill the enemy!"

His eyes were filled with cold murderous intent. He picked up his sickle weapon and pointed the blade at Li Nanke.

Compared to controlling Pinocchio, it is easier for Geppetto to control the King of Dolls. He only needs to use the Big Contract to make Romeo an obedient and loyal dog.

According to the information provided by Romeo, Geppetto did not use the big contract to bind Pinocchio, and the puppet boy would not be controlled by his father at all, so the Puppet King wanted his old friend to come to the Alchemy Island to exchange for its freedom.

But in fact, Romeo didn't know the existence of the nameless puppet, nor did he know that Gippetto secretly made the alchemical gloves, which allowed Gippetto not only to control the nameless puppet, but even to forcibly control Pinocchio.

If the giant puppet hadn't been rusted and dead, I'm afraid Geppetto would have been able to control the war machine with energy threads and create a four-on-one situation.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield was completely reversed as soon as Geppetto, the most powerful alchemist, exerted his strength.

Li Nanke went from being two against one with a sure win to a situation where all his friendly forces turned against him and there were three enemies fighting against him alone.

Moreover, the people controlled by the blue threads were becoming stronger than before.

It seems that Geppetto's alchemical gloves can not only control the puppet, but can even enhance the overall strength of the puppet during manipulation!
He took a deep breath and couldn't help but curse at the butterfly on his shoulder:
"Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?!"

The Azure Butterfly said somewhat embarrassedly: "Mr. Black Rabbit, you didn't complete the commission before, and didn't you just reconcile with Geppetto? Who knew that you would suddenly turn against each other and fight..."

Carlo, Romeo and the nameless puppet, three powerful puppets, surrounded Li Nanke and left him no chance to escape.

Previously, Li Nanke led the efforts of everyone to fight the enemy, but now the offense and defense have switched, and it is his turn to experience the feeling of being beaten up by a group of people.

"No one can stop me, whether it's Simon or you, Black Rabbit."

Geppetto manipulated the three puppets with an alchemical glove and pointed to the sky with one hand: "Today, the entire human race will usher in the greatest evolution!"

After Li Nanke ended Simon's deification ceremony, the huge cyclone above the sky subsided, and the large amount of gathered ego elements also dissipated. The completion of the hidden node seemed to have brought everything to an end.

However, at this time, under the control of the 'Creator' Geppetto, the ego device on the top of the round tower was activated again!
Endless dark clouds covered the sky, as if the sky was about to collapse and overturn.

Amid the howling wind, countless ego-element energies gathered from all directions, and dazzling blue lights surged like giant dragons, all converging towards the ego-element device.

The surging powerful energy disturbed the heaven and earth, forming huge whirlpools, and the dark clouds in the sky rolled and tumbled with the whirlpools.

The ego energy that was born at the cost of the deaths of millions of people in Krat City all obeyed Geppetto's call at this time.

The free ego energy that permeates the world is now gathering towards the device at the top of the round tower.

A dazzling blue light burst out from the top of the round tower, shining like an artificial sun.

Somehow, Li Nanke felt that in the very center of the blue sun, there seemed to be an indescribable and unnameable horror.

The pure essence sublimated from the will of countless human souls is gathering together to form an unprecedented huge consciousness!

"Did you see it? This... is ascension!"

Geppetto looked up at the sky, watching the blue sun grow bigger and bigger, and his fanatical and pious shouts echoed throughout the round tower.

Just at the moment when Geppetto shouted, three powerful puppets attacked Li Nanke together!
Li Nanke glanced at the 'God's Arm' that he had thrown down not far away, and found that the powerful animal essence called 'Angel' was hidden in it.

Previously, his animal nature was out of balance and he was unable to absorb the 'Angel' which was more powerful than 'Pain', but now he has regained his balance due to the 'Alchemy' of the second-level human essence and is now strong enough to carry the new animal essence!
Facing the attack from the three puppets, Li Nanke's eyes became extremely fanatical.

In an instant, everything in the world lost all its original colors and turned gray and colorless. Only the three puppets attacking him were the only colors in the world.

The three men's swift attacks seemed to slow down at the same time, as if a video was being played in slow motion.

In fact, it was not that their movements slowed down, but that Li Nanke abandoned all distractions and focused fanatically on the battle, which made his nerve reaction speed faster!

"boom!"

The bloody war hammer collided with the giant lightning sword in front of it, and it irresistibly deflected Carlo's attack.

A violent thunder and lightning erupted from the point where the weapons collided, sweeping across Li Nanke's body, but it did not delay him in the slightest as he had already blocked out the pain.

The war hammer covered with blood-red thorns clashed with the sharp sickle blade with undiminished force!
"boom!"

A sharp energy suddenly appeared from the edge of the sickle, and a piercing cold light flashed before my eyes.

The indestructible hammer blocked the sickle attack. No matter how fast the enemy's attack was or how sharp the enemy's weapon was, it could not leave a cut under the hammer, nor could it leave a wound on Li Nanke.

Li Nanke fought one against two, Carlo and Romeo at the same time, but he was not at a disadvantage at all and even felt that they were evenly matched.

You know, not long ago, he was defeated by the King of Dolls in a one-on-one fight, and he needed Pinocchio's sneak attack to help defeat the enemy.

Now, Carlo's power heart has been greatly strengthened, and his strength is not inferior to Romeo. In a one-on-two situation, Li Nanke was able to fight on equal terms with the two.

His strength improved so fast that it was unbelievable. No wonder Sophia bet on Pinocchio at the beginning, but after meeting Li Nanke, she placed all her hopes for revenge on him.

The long sword surrounded by blood-red mist tore through the air, emitting a sharp explosion and fiercely attacking from behind!

The nameless puppet was covered in blood-red smoke, and with its terrifying face without any facial features, it looked like a demon crawling out of hell.

Li Nanke had just managed to fend off the fierce attacks from the two people in front of him. Before he could even catch his breath, he had to grit his teeth and turn around to fight back.

In his hasty defense, he was unable to block the attack with all his strength, while the enemy's attack was full of momentum and a powerful blow that could exert all his strength.

This nameless puppet is a powerful being whose strength far exceeds that of the Puppet King. If he is not careful with his enemy, he may be seriously injured.

If he were to face Carlo and Romeo alone, Li Nanke would have every confidence that he could win.

Likewise, if the enemy is the only nameless puppet, he can also become the ultimate winner.

But now three of them were besieging him alone, and under Geppetto's control, the three of them cooperated extremely skillfully, just like triplets with telepathy.

They launched one move after another, their attack was like a violent storm, without any breaks, leaving Li Nanke no chance to breathe.

Even more, the blue energy threads can enhance the strength of several people, making the already powerful puppets even more powerful.

Facing the full-force attack of the nameless puppet, Li Nanke felt an extremely heavy pressure.

His eyes became fierce, and he used his special skill "Flame Waterfall"!
The bloody war hammer suddenly turned into a giant flaming hammer, and the hot flames exploded and spread, and the flames rising into the sky swept everything!
"Boom!"

The nameless puppet flew backwards in the explosion of fire, and Li Nanke used the force to fly backwards, and managed to block the attacks of Carlo and Romeo.

He stopped and forced himself to swallow the sweet and fishy blood rising in his throat.

"You three are indeed very strong when you join forces..."

Li Nanke fought hard with the three men and used the momentum to move his position.

At this moment, the 'Arm of God' that looked like a blue crystal was right at his feet, within reach!
Pinocchio, who had transformed into Carlo, seemed to have heard a joke. He pulled up the charred faceless puppet from the rubble and said with a disdainful smile, "Black Rabbit, others may not understand you, but don't I know your details?"

"The move you just used to enlarge your weapon was very powerful, but how many times can you use it?"

The three men besieging Li Nanke had all the advantages and there was no possibility of failure. However, if Li Nanke risked his life regardless of the cost, he might really take someone with him before he died.

What made Carlo so afraid was Li Nanke’s special move - Flame Waterfall.

After all, even the nameless puppet was in a very miserable state and his whole body was burnt black when he faced the flame waterfall head-on. If it were him and Romeo, one can imagine what would happen.

The puppet boy has been through countless battles with Li Nanke and already knows him inside and out.

Both Frenzy and Firefall consume a lot of mental energy.

Li Nanke has entered a frenzy. He has just released a waterfall of fire. If he releases it one more time, he will exhaust his mental strength and lose most of his combat effectiveness.

Even if he delayed for a short while, the frenzy would consume a large amount of his mental power, making him unable to release the next waterfall of fire.

"You don't stand a chance..."

"The final winner of this battle will only be me!"

Li Nanke sneered and shook his head, then stepped on the arm of God under the gaze of the three people.

In an instant, he seemed to fall into a fantasy.

In the vast land, countless humans dressed in tattered ancient clothes prostrated themselves on the ground, calling out names such as "angels, gods", and worshipping the huge creatures flying above the clouds.

The giant object blocked out the sun and its shadow occupied the entire sky.

However, the clouds were hazy and one could only vaguely see that the giant was completely azure blue. Every flap of its blue wings in the clouds would set off a hurricane of destruction.

Suddenly, strong winds blew away the clouds, revealing a creature that looked like a winged giant.

Li Nanke saw the familiar blue giant arm, but also the rest of his terrifying and unfamiliar body parts...

He woke up suddenly, covered in cold sweat.

"Fuck! This is not an angel, it's a monster!"

The animal essence called 'Angel' is represented in his spiritual world by the symbol of blue wings.

An extremely ferocious force erupted from his body, as if a long-dormant volcano had finally found an outlet to vent.

His muscles swelled rapidly, forming knots and bulges. The blood flowing under his skin seemed to have turned into lava, and every heartbeat was like the sound of a heavy hammer.

The pupils of his eyes turned blue, and every cell in his body seemed to be activated at this moment, releasing unprecedented power.

There was a dull tingling and itching sensation on both sides of the shoulder blades on my back, as if something was about to break through the skin and grow out of the flesh and blood.

[Main substance: Angel]

[Subordinate: Animality]

[Rank: 3th rank]

[Level: 0/10]

[Details: This essence allows you to evolve into a higher life form called an 'angel' through the mechanism of making a wish, and gain extremely powerful extraordinary physical strength. The 'angel' can strengthen your body in all aspects. Every time this essence is upgraded, you can use the wish mechanism (thought) to strengthen a specific physical ability, such as wings, tentacles, horns, limbs, lifespan, muscles, nerves, etc.]

[As the level of this essence increases, your physical strength will continue to increase. When this essence reaches the maximum level, you will obtain an extreme improvement in a certain physical ability based on the tendency of your previous nine wishes! ]

[Note: I don’t understand what love is...but when I think of my master, my power reactor hurts! ]

It’s a long story, but in a flash, Li Nanke had successfully absorbed the angel’s essence.

The swollen muscles quickly subsided, the blue pupils returned to black, the itching and tingling on the back also subsided, and all the abnormalities caused by the "angel" disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Li Nanke felt the extremely powerful new force in his body, tightly gripped the bloody hammer, and smiled coldly at the three people.

There is no suspense about the outcome of this battle!
