Chapter 430: Nightmare: Dreams Within A Dream, Clear!

Annan ended his sentence.

The vast, ice-blue pupil finally came over and stopped in the captains room where Annan and the white-haired youth were.

For some reason, Annan had a strong hunch in his heart.

He chose not to move but calmly accepted that lights basking.

The icy blue light shone on Annans back, casting a long projection that shrouded Danton, crouching on the ground.

As predicted.

Annan was unharmed under his own scrutinizing gaze.

The damage he suffered in the nightmare previously had rejuvenated.

As Annans vigor gradually stabilized, Danton opposite Annan slowly curled up, and his presence weakened.

Annan had collected all seven fear fragments.

There was a saying in this world that a person would only be unlucky seven times in a row. The reason being seven was the number of luck and accidents. Danton only had seven chances to launch offenses directly at Annan.

After seven times, the accident was over.

At this moment, this place was Annans home base.

The self-seeing eye on the sky was a mechanism like a firewall.

It existed to seek out and kill the invader in the consciousness: Danton.

In a sense, Danton was a Trojan horse [1] he combined Annans memories. Naturally, some belong to Annans emotions, and some belong to Annans will.

He would be determined as the changed Annan.

Originally, the self-seeking eye would not be able to detect Danton.

When Danton invaded other peoples minds previously, he had never failed once when he used this method.

However, Annan was unique.

Annan had incomparable confidence and affirmation of his form and soul.

Annan was sure his trajectory would not change deep down in his heart. If there were any growth and changes, he was well aware of the direction he would be heading.

Even when there was an impurity in the process, Annan would eliminate them immediately.

His self-belief and self-discipline were not human-like.

You have failed. Annan raised his eyebrows and looked down at Danton with his hands in his pockets, Do you know why you have failed?

The chef doesnt look at the recipe but read the art of war! Danton responded subconsciously.

[TN: A Chinese saying that someone is being scammed terribly and he has to resort to out-of-the-box aspects to counter the scams.]

Ooh

, as expected of me!

However, Annan was not surprised or stunned by this comment. Instead, he reached out his hand and applauded excitedly and happily, Thats a good saying!

Arent you wanting to kill me? Danton looked up from the shadows and looked at Annan with complex eyes, Now you can.

I can. Annan replied, But I dont believe you.

I dont think you will perish so easily even if I kill you here. I want to eradicate you. With Annans voice, the world around him trembled again.

The world had changed again.

The captains cabin gradually collapsed and was flattened. The three-dimensional world slowly turned into a plane and a high mountain later.

That icy blue pupil became even bigger and penetrated the skys veil.

But this time, Annan and Danton were thrown into a new world.

Danton was powerless in front of Annan and was fixed on the guillotine.

The shape of the guillotine was precisely the same as what Annan had seen from the Pale Princess.

It was the place of judgment for the immortals powerful enough to end everything.

You modified other peoples memories without authorization for your selfish desires. Annans voice rumbled in the sky.

You stole others status and ident.i.ties.

You bullied the weak, confused the mind, and toyed with others.

You live by stealing. Youre a thief of the mind, Danton.

What is this? Are you putting me on trial?

Danton couldnt help but laugh out loud, But thats what our Soul s.n.a.t.c.h school is all about. Ive been taught this way since I was a kid.

Its all about having everyone to serve me. We are weak and limited, and I cant do anything alone. So we must make good use of the power of others to survive and progress further in this world.

Since the purpose is to take advantage of others, does the outer sh.e.l.l have a moral value?

Danton argued slyly like Annans sophistry.

Use confusion as the knife and plunge at the core like a spear.

However, Annan wasnt being dragged around by his nose.

After all, Annan also possessed this sophistry.

Indeed, theres nothing wrong with using the power of others to achieve your own goals. Its a life choice, and theres nothing wrong with that. Unexpectedly, Annan did not deny the matter.

He replied softly, Its just that you are accustomed to stealing for a living, and you are accustomed to the life you can readily get your hands on. This will make your soul lazy, not thinking about progress, and not trying to change;

You think that you are a strong person, and you play with the fate and mind of the weak at will, which will make you arrogant and less cautious;

If you dont respect other peoples past, that weakens your will and resilience.

In every challenge you have faced in the past, you have chosen the most inferior and simplest answer. Your truancy from the life lessons will send you to the grave you dug with your own hands.

That would be this moment and this place.

Your failure is inevitable. You will encounter the same fate even if you dont meet me. In the end, you will still fail.

Thats because you were originally a loser, and thats why you came to this place.

Thus

Failure

All the fears Danton instilled in Annan were various scenarios and types of [Failures].

That was because Danton had an intense fear of failure.

He was a complete failure himself.

He was terrified of his failure, particularly Bernardino, who defeated him with an unstoppable force. This fear was deeply engraved in his brain and had not been overcome even to this day.

He had a fear of his ident.i.ty being discovered, the fear of his strength being nullified, the fear that made him indecisive, the fear of being powerless, the fear of sacrifice, the fear of repeated failure, and the fear of death.

Ahhh.

I see.

Everything is clear now.

Danton took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

They werent Annans fears all along.

Instead, his fears were turned into nightmares.

It happened because Annans and Dantons memories were mixed when Danton absorbed them.

Although Danton wanted to murder Annan and trap the sentience, Danton instinctively created nightmares that came from his fear.

That was how Annan overcame some levels so easily.

It was not that Dantons dream control became inferior.

Instead, the fear of [Failure] in his heart had not dissipated.

Yeah, I failed Danton smiled wryly and slowly lowered his head to the guillotine.

He had been playing with dreams for decades. However, Annan, who was not even a Soul s.n.a.t.c.h Wizard, had a much more thorough grasp of human hearts.

What an

At his life-and-death moment, the cordless beheading blade hanging high above his head slammed down.

It easily cut off Dantons neck.

What an irony.

No mind reading was required.

Annan calmly continued Dantons last words.

The world in front of Annan instantly turned into darkness.

Nightmare: Dreams Within A Dream

Perfect Clear.
