Chapter 1551: 5. The gift of nightmare

Nightmare, this is a lucky guy.
It is also one of the numerous disasters caused by the elders of the universe before the earth.
After realizing Merlin's weird disappearance, Nightmare thought it was time to regain the nightmare dimension, and it single-handedly broke into the dream world of Merlin and Zatanna.
That nightmare had collected fears from around the world, and had already made itself tyrannical. It believed that without Merlin's hindrance, its action to regain the nightmare dimension would definitely be a sure thing.
But he didn't expect that Merlin's little lover Zatanna would be so difficult.
The crazy woman delayed the fight for a long time with the help of the power of the ultraviolet light. She was not the opponent of the nightmare.
But it is also very difficult for a nightmare that feeds on fear to defeat the same power from the emotional spectrum.
After realizing that the cunning Merlin was prepared, Nightmare realized that the situation was not good, and if it dragged on, it might fall into a worse situation, so Nightmare decisively withdrew from the dream world.
Its decisiveness and caution brought it good luck.
Thanos is dead, the serpent is dead, and the princes are also dead.
The entire dimension and the real world have become a mess.
Thanos snapped his fingers, erasing half of the earth's life, and the fear of allowing nightmares to be sucked was reduced by half in an instant.
Fortunately, it left early, otherwise it would die in the dream world when it was weak.
The turbulent changes on the battlefield made Nightmare feel that something was wrong. Even though it had recovered a life, it even, Merlin and his concubine, who now had an absolute advantage, would definitely not let it go.
Merlin and Zatanna are "employed" by the mysterious sandman. To get rid of the nightmare in this era, this is a contract that must be completed.
In order to protect itself, Nightmare must make other plans.
"clang"
In the mysterious dimension of dreams, in a deep horn hidden away, in the abandoned hall where the dark breath envelopes everything.
The Nightmare was holding a hammer, forging something in the green weird flame.
Its figure was thin and distorted, not like a normal thing, the darkness on the ground and its body were almost bordered together, and sparks splashed during the nightmare beat.
It also raised his hand from time to time, and threw a bunch of green energy into the weird-colored flame, making the forged flame even hotter.
The flame is green and unknown.
It burned and exuded a strange smell, like the trembling breathing of a life captive by fear, and in the flames, there were one twisted human face constantly highlighting and hissing.
This is the fire of fear.
The collected fears are used as fuelwood, which can pour special power into the creation that is about to be forged, making it a dark artifact that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
Of course, it is impossible for Nightmare to use the fear he has collected as fuel.
It must also retain these powers to protect itself.
So where did these burning fears come from?
"clang"
The thin and twisted Nightmare raised his hand and let the forging hammer that exudes purple streamer fall.
It hits the iron felt, and between the impacts, there is a purple arc beating, and the flashing arc illuminates the dark hall behind the nightmare.
It's like lightning across the night.
"Hey, old snake, the fear you collected is really pure."
Nightmare made a sneaky haze of laughter while staring at the blacksmith, quite a bit of contentment.
It is indeed lucky.
After hiding back to his hiding place, he just saw the scene where the serpent was overturned by the Eternal Rune King.
Like it, the serpent is an evil who absorbs the fear of all things to strengthen itself. The serpent was defeated by Thor and sealed in the eternal control of time.
Although the serpent did not really die because of Asgard's existence, it did fail.
Even the power of fear collected by the Father of Fear has been dissipated in the earth again. Those fears should have dissipated and returned to the emotional spectrum in the form of energy.
But the nightmare with quick eyes and quick hands rushed to the end of the fear, drawing those powers back to his side.
It absorbed the fear power collected by the serpent, and quickly recovered itself to full prosperity, and there were the remaining ones, and Nightmare planned to use them to forge something.
The same can carry fear, and can collect an unlimited amount of artifacts of fear.
The nightmare plan is wonderful.
Although the battle for the king was interrupted due to the tragic death of the princes, it seems that Merlin, who commanded the son of hell, has become the king of hell, but it does not mean that it is safe.
The battle of the king of is not over yet.
Its rules are still in effect.
Whoever can ingest the most fear can sit on the throne of Satan, become the king of hell, and command the entire dimension.
That is the only way to survive the nightmare!
It must rush to forge the artifact of fear for itself before Merlin sits on the throne of the King of Hell, and then quickly absorb the fear of the earth through the artifact to sit on the throne of Satan.
As long as it can take advantage of the loopholes in this rule to become the king of hell, no matter how powerful Merlin is, it is impossible to defeat it!
Merlin was originally the Lord of Hell. Is there a reason why the Lord of Hell stabs weapons at the Lord of Hell?
At that time, Merlin not only could not hurt it, but also had to abide by the various orders issued by the nightmare of the king of hell!
Merlin will become its most loyal dog leg!
Ah, it's exciting to think about it.
"Hehehe"
Nightmare made a sharp laugh while forging its own divine weapon. It seemed to have seen a wonderful future in which it could master everything.
If you can become the king of hell, control the entire hell, and regain the power of the nightmare dimension, then you have the capital to face the Sandman and the endless family.
If all goes well, it may only take a few years to replace the Sandman.
It will become a member of an endless family that is immortal and controls everything.
"Hey"
The nightmare laughed like a fool.
The situation is favorable for it now.
Merlin didn't know what was going on. Recently, he had been summoning the heroes of the world to gather in New Asgard and the weird continent of Cybertron. He didn't know what they were doing.
It seems to be preparing for battle.
Nightmare heard that the heroes were going to follow Merlin to fight against the so-called "outer gods."
"Where is there any foreign god? They are all deceptive."
The Nightmare snorted, and said disdainfully:
"It must be the Raven playing some conspiracy. It's a group of cheating bastards, but this is just what I want. Let them go, the busier the better!"
"clang"
Another creak of steel echoed in this dim hall.
In the place where the forging hammer reshaped from the broken weapon of the serpent collided with the iron felt, the forged, melted, magma-like halo of substantive fear energy has been shaped into a vague entity.
In the burning flames of fear, the iron ring that is about to be forged exudes high temperature and twisted energy.
Nightmare lifted it up with big iron tongs and carefully observed it in front of his eyes.
Under the shadow of the gloomy green firelight, it exudes light like magma. Although it has not been forged yet, on the outer edge of this crown-like creation, a human face has appeared.
Look closely, that human face is quite similar to that of a big snake.
This is also normal. The material for forging this fear crown originated from the fear of the serpent, and it also contains the serpent's understanding of the power of fear. The final product is mixed with some characteristics that belong to the serpent.
"It's almost done."
The nightmare blew the flames burning on the surface of the crown of fear, and put it back on the iron felt, and continued to beat it hard.
Probably because of a good mood, this twisted evil actually hummed a song.
It was supposed to be a very gentle lullaby, but it was hummed by this guy in a weird tone, adding a hint of dark and sneaky feeling.
"Good craftsmanship."
A voice rang from the side of the nightmare. He watched the nightmare forge the crown of fear and praised:
"Unexpectedly, besides scaring the child in the nightmare, you actually have this hand."
"Of course."
Nightmare triumphantly straightened up its thin chest without a pair of flesh, and said carelessly:
"Although I don't know forging myself, the snake knows it. It's the evil of Asgard. Every man in that ghost place is a good blacksmith. I learned this from the power it left behind."
"Don't look at it now, let me tell you that once it is forged, it will definitely be very, very beautiful, with both majesty and supernatural power."
"Hehe, this is the crown of the king of hell, how could it be an ordinary thing."
The nightmare's boasting made the voice in the dark chuckle.
He looked at the crown of fear that was constantly beaten by nightmares. After a moment, he said:
"But only the divine power of the serpent is rubbed in, so that the power of this thing is close to the power of the Almighty Father. For the King of Hell, this is far from enough."
"How about adding some other ingredients?"
"Ok?"
This suggestion made Nightmare stunned for a moment. It stopped the exercise and rubbed its chin with its fingers. It seemed to be thinking about this suggestion carefully.
After a while, Nightmare scratched its head irritably, and said:
"This idea is not bad, indeed, if it is the king of hell, it is not enough just to be the Father of Heaven. Add some things to make it more powerful."
"But the question is, where do I get more raw materials?"
"simple!"
The voice said slowly to the nightmare:
"Since it is the Crown of Fear, it must have something to do with fear. Since these gods have already joined the power of an evil god, it is better to add another evil who can control fear."
"Look, in this case, isn't 1+1 greater than 2?"
"what do you mean..."
Nightmare asked blankly.
"I mean..."
Merlin strolled out of the darkness, the hexagonal crystal on his forehead was shining, and the seven deadly sins in their complete form pushed the power of vanity to the extreme.
Let every word of him sound deep in the nightmare consciousness.
On his right hand, there is also a refurbished Infinity Glove, which was borrowed from Dum.
The soul gem exudes a leisurely light, and the crimson light arc of the reality gem is wrapped around the infinite glove, superimposed two by two, so that the mind manipulation of the vanity king is elevated to a terrifying level.
Is to guide.
It is also a temptation.
It is recommended.
It is also a push.
Like a true good friend, he patted on the shoulder of the nightmare with a blank face, and when the Infinite Glove touched the shoulder of the nightmare, the light of the soul stone burst.
The halo was scattered outside the nightmare body, like a dazzling lamp.
Merlin glanced at the crown of fear placed on the iron felt, and said in a gentle tone:
"I mean, aren't you another evil who masters fear? If your power joins it, then this crown of fear will surely become a peerless treasure!"
"It is fully worthy of the King of Hell, and can even be the same as the Throne of Satan. From then on, it has become a symbol of the King of Hell... What a good thing, why don't you make a small sacrifice?"
There was a struggle in Nightmare's black eyes, and his instinctive consciousness was stimulating him to wake up quickly.
But the external spiritual guidance is so overbearing and tyrannical, and under the control of Mei Lin, it turned into a silent spring rain that moistened things, and when it was unknowable, it sprinkled into the nightmare and barren mind.
Slowly take root and sprout.
By the time it realized that the problem was not good, it could no longer resist.
"I..."
The Nightmare hesitated, placing its own hand on the hot crown. At the moment of contact, its fingers turned into a dark green mist, swallowed by the greedy crown of fear.
That guy was like a roaring and hungry beast, in the burning of the green flames of fear, constantly devouring the spirit body of the nightmare.
That kind of pain was like a scorching needle, piercing fiercely in the nightmare's blank consciousness.
After a while, the nightmare suddenly woke up. It looked left and right and found that half of its body had been swallowed by the crown of fear.
"what!!!"
The twisted guy let out a scream like a woman.
It waved its arms, trying to pull itself out of the engulfment of the fear crown, but it was unable to do so. The effect of the fear crown being forged was to have the ability to consume fear far beyond the nightmare and the serpent.
It now perfectly demonstrated its power, and its power of devouring fear made it impossible for evil gods like Nightmare to resist.
"Oh... it's almost."
Behind the nightmare, seeing the evil awakened from the spiritual guidance, Merlin sighed with regret. He stretched out his hand to take out the book of the raven from his waist and turned to the page of the unfinished fear spell.
He flicked his finger, and the quill fell into his hand. There was no need for star ink.
The raven pierced the quill into the nightmare's increasingly flimsy body, as if dipped in ink, and ignored the nightmare's wailing, as if in a terrible accompaniment, the posture leisurely took the fear spell on the book of the raven Completion.
His handwriting was elegant, and the perfect squiggly rune was quickly finished. When the last rune was written, a green light lit up on the book page.
Merlin looked at the spell repeatedly, and after confirming that there was no error, he nodded in satisfaction, put the book of the raven back on his waist, and then reached out and picked up the forging hammer that Nightmare put aside.
"clang"
The arm that beaten like a blacksmith fell, a purple electric arc burst from the burning crown of fear, and the howl of the nightmare swallowed in it.
"clang"
It fell with another noise.
In the end, the nightmare failed to complete the forging of the crown of fear. He was really an unqualified gift. Then this gift to the king of was done by Merlin, the uncrowned king of hell.
