[Perpetual Barrier: False Dream] Bottom floor,

“This is really…”

The dwarf old man in a plain robe and with a white beard shook his head helplessly, raised his right hand slightly, and fixed a raging wave of blood in the air less than half a meter away from him, and said with a wry smile: "I have to say, I was really tricked by Mr. Tan Mo this time."

"Is that so?"

The tall and handsome human knight with long golden hair hanging down to his waist narrowed his eyes dangerously and said word by word, "I thought you and Anthony Dabbs had teamed up to trick us."

"Commander Hogel, you are joking. If we really joined forces with Mr. Tan Mo, you would never have agreed to this 'liberation' from the beginning, right?"

The founder of the God-Destroying Society, whose name was Iparis Solarion but who was more often called the 'Lord of Arms', smiled faintly, then clenched his hands, forcing the surging and crazy blood waves around him to retreat upstream, drowning a dying caster not far away.

"That being said."

Hogel Sid, the leader of the [Twilight Crow Eastern Expedition], looked at him with a sharp gaze. He cut off the attacker's heart pulse with one finger and said in a deep voice, "But the reason why heretics are heretics is because you crazy lunatics never play by the rules, right?"

The Chief of Arms laughed, stroked his beard and said, "If what you call common sense is the ridiculous praises in the scriptures of various sects, then the God-Destroying Society does not like to play by common sense, but... you should be able to feel it, Commander Hogel, at least in this matter, we, like all of you, have been tricked by Mr. Tan Mo."

"snort."

Hogel did not respond to the leader of the army in front of him, but just glanced coldly at the battlefield around him where the fighting was in full swing and people were falling every minute and every second.

In those ocean-blue eyes, he saw the desperate fights and bloodshed that he should have long been tired of. However, as familiar or unfamiliar figures fell one after another, the man's blood, which had long been silent for an extremely long time and should have been buried in numbness and despair and cooled, suddenly became hot again.

Of course, this Paladin of the Blood God Cult knew very well that he had lost his body long ago and died a long, long time ago, so he did not have any "blood" that could be "boiling", but he also knew that, at least at this moment, the emotions boiling in his body were not an illusion.

Because this is a dream, even the dead, the ghosts, and the lost people who are excluded by the law are qualified to get everything they desire in the dream.

What's more, this will be his last dream in this world.

If every reincarnation in the long years of the past was a nightmare, then for everyone present, no matter what the content of the 'last' dream was, no matter what role they would play in it, it would undoubtedly be a beautiful dream.

Hogel pulled down his armor, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised behind the cold blood-red metal, outlining a smile from the heart.

He saw Kari Cleftskull of the Justicar, the special instructor of the 'Gaola' team of the Second Legion of the Eastern Expedition. The orc had just used up his last bit of strength to pierce through two enemies, but he also paid a heavy price. He was cut into two pieces diagonally along the shoulder by a heavy saber.

But at the last moment of his life, the tall and strong orc smiled and even nodded to the heretic who dealt him the final blow.

The heretic twitched the corner of his mouth, and only when Split-Skull was completely dead did he reluctantly throw away his blood-stained weapon, then bowed slightly to the latter.

Half a minute later, the heretic who killed Split Skull was brushed by a ray of sun flame and turned into ashes on the spot. However, after his body began to dissipate, he did not show any negative emotions. Instead, he let out a long sigh and dissipated calmly.

These surprising and even weird scenes happen almost all the time.

Be it the clergy of the Eastern Expedition Army or the remnants of the God-Destroying Society, they did not hold back at all when fighting against the other side. Not only were their moves deadly, but they were also fearless. However, what was counterintuitive was that after successfully killing their mortal enemies, they did not show any emotion at all, and just numbly looked for their next target as they had done in countless previous battles.

The only difference is that this time, they no longer cover their teammates, and every time they suffer fatal injuries, these cold and numb warriors like a program will often come to their senses at the last moment and die peacefully with a tired smile.

The dwarf old man cast a probing look at the 'young man' and said honestly: "I thought you would choose to make sure that I, the biggest hidden danger, is no longer a threat before falling into eternal sleep."

"I think so too, Your Excellency."

Hogel shrugged, then rolled his eyes in an unskilled manner, and pouted, "But I suddenly realized that I'm not in the mood to do this. In this... too abrupt last moment, I can't help but have some unorthodox thoughts."

The soldier stroked his beard and said jokingly, "Do you think the idea of ​​joining the [God-killing Society] is unorthodox enough?"

"Thank you, but that's a bit too exciting, so please allow me to refuse."

Perhaps it was because this moment lacked authenticity, or perhaps it was because those things that had long been washed away by time and that the person concerned had only just realized were finally beginning to settle. Hogel was not like the Blood Knight who had just joined the Eastern Expedition and could not tolerate such heretics speaking nonsense in front of him. He was not dominated by the despair and madness accumulated over the long years, but entered a state... infinitely close to "tanking".

"To be honest, if you really agree, I will find it difficult to deal with it."

The soldier leader chuckled, then sat cross-legged on the ground and asked in a tone like an old friend chatting: "So, how do you feel?"

"As I said before, this all happened so abruptly that it didn't feel real to me at all."

Hogel looked up at the dark and foggy 'sky' above his head, and said in a somewhat strange tone: "Suddenly two uninvited guests came, suddenly they convinced the God-Destroying Society to willingly destroy itself, suddenly they said they would give us the final relief, suddenly they betrayed us, and suddenly it seemed that nothing mattered, because the ending he promised would still be fulfilled, but..."

"But I didn't expect that we would have to send each other off in the end."

The Lord of Arms chuckled as he finished the second half of his sentence. His tone was still as calm and relaxed as usual. However, perhaps because Hogel had never communicated with the Lord of Arms in such a calm manner before, he felt that this was a very novel experience.

"It's hard to imagine that the leader of the [God-Destroying Society] is such a person."

The once young Paladin looked at the old dwarf in front of him with great interest, and said from the bottom of his heart: "You don't look like a lunatic at all, or is it because you are not a lunatic that you can turn others into lunatics who obey your orders?"

The soldier did not brush off the question. Instead, after thinking seriously for a long time, he answered the question irrelevantly: "In other words, in your opinion, I am more like a liar than a madman?"

Hogel nodded slightly and said bluntly: "Yes, so what?"

“So the differences between us aren’t that big.”

The old man couldn't help laughing and said cheerfully, "For example, I never thought that the gods you believe in are crazy, but I am sure that they are disgusting liars."

Hogel narrowed his eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, he shook his head and said, "It seems that this topic has to end here."

The soldier also nodded and agreed, "I think so too. After all, you have almost given everything for your beliefs. It is too cruel to let you 'wake up' at the last moment and prove that the torture you have suffered in these long years is meaningless."

"Oh."

The Paladin laughed, neither admitting nor denying. He just casually brought up the overly sensitive topic and sighed, "There are fewer and fewer people."

"The good news is that the population won't increase again."

The Soldier Lord looked around at the increasingly tragic battlefield and suggested calmly, "Our last one?"

"Let's do it last."

Hogel agreed to the other party's proposal, then closed his eyes and sat in the center of the battlefield as if petrified, feeling the familiar aura around him disappear one after another, and then return to his perception in another form.

The Lord of Arms did not say anything else, but lowered his eyes, as if he was distracted.

This is the bottom layer of [The False Dream] and the area closest to the core of the inherent barrier. After Mo Tan obtained the key authority from Hogel, he opened the portal leading here. As a result, both parties who thought they could say goodbye to this world directly were thrown here, and as usual, they started an endless fight to the death in suspicion and tacit understanding.

However, unlike before, those who "died" at the bottom would not wake up from the nightmare again, but would be completely devoured by the [False End Dream] and turned into part of the inherent barrier.

As the holder of the key, Hogel could actually do the same thing, but he knew very well that 'going to the bottom to sleep forever' was tantamount to opening Pandora's box. He had never considered this in the past, nor had he ever mentioned this matter. After all, if one had never seen hope, it would be difficult to completely collapse in despair.

But... Tan Mo in [Realm of Innocence] doesn't care about you. He made all the plans almost the moment he learned about the existence of the "lower level" from the Lord of Arms.

He would betray the [God-Destroying Society] and the [Eastern Expedition Army] without hesitation, and patiently wait for them to give him "liberation" at the bottom. In the end, when only Hogel and the Lord of Arms were left...

Snap!

With a loud bang in the sky——

"I'm making a grand appearance!"

Still wearing the same snow-white bard robe, Mo Tan, holding a lute, appeared at the bottom of the Final Dream with a smile on his face. He stood between Bingzhu and Hogel and bowed to them respectively: "I hope you don't mind my harmless little joke before."

"Though it's hard to say it's harmless."

The soldier frowned, but finally sighed and said helplessly to the paladin opposite him who didn't know what expression to make for a moment: "Well, forget it, what do you think, Commander Hogel?"

"I have nothing to say."

The devout believer who had long forgotten the name of the god shook his head calmly and turned to Mo Tan with a stern face: "But I am very curious, how did you get down to this level when you have lost the 'key'."

The latter grinned and said happily: "I opened a lot of backdoors for myself in advance, just in case. Uh... no one would think that such a small matter requires them to struggle for half an hour like constipation, right?"

Hogel, who never thought that controlling dreams was an easy task, said: "..."

"Okay, time is short and the task is heavy, so let's stop talking about family matters."

Mo Tan smiled and then slowly walked up to the calm old dwarf and touched his smooth head. "Shall we go?"

The Chief of Arms: “…Ah?”

"Wait a moment!"

Hogel, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly lost his composure. He was driven almost crazy by this endless nightmare and had just calmed down for a while. He suddenly stood up, pulled out the cross sword with blood-red light from his waist, and shouted at the Lord of Arms: "Heretic! Are you plotting against us?!"

The Soldier: "...I am not, I don't have it."

“Nonsense!”

In a rage, Hogel directly stimulated his divine power to the maximum extent, so that even the armor appeared countless blood-red lines like lightning. Then he rushed towards the old man in a blood-red wave like a hurricane, roaring: "Your despicable ally has betrayed you! He confessed your evil plan..."

"No."

Mo Tan hid behind the Soldier Master immediately, and even chose to squat because the opponent was a dwarf. He shook his head and showed Hogel an honest smile across the Soldier Master's shoulder: "I haven't greeted the old man before."

"……?"

The bloody storm dissipated in an instant. Hogel, who had already appeared in front of the Soldier Master who subconsciously raised his hands to block, looked at Mo Tan blankly with his sword raised high in both hands, "Ah?"

"That is to say, I plan to take this old man with me. Oh, and those remnants of the [God-Destroying Society] who seem to be dead, but can actually be saved."

"You damn aliens..."

"You guys want to come too?"

"……end?"
