Shrouded Seascape

Chapter 966: God

If that were the case, wouldn't that mean that this was reality? As soon as Anna thought of that, she raised her right hand, which had been reduced to skin and bones by her corrosive flames.

She pointed the palm of her right hand at the faceless giant.

The next second, the corrosive flames stuck to the other party's palm and spread upward, eventually engulfing the faceless giant. Just as Anna thought that her attack was effective, another Luvlyn appeared next to the faceless giant.

Is this really a dream? Anna's mind was having trouble processing the sight before her. If this were reality, what about the relic in her hand? And how did Luvlyn somehow drag her away from that vehicle?

If this was a dream, how come she could still use the power of the Primordial Fire?

Anna was convinced that she was at the intersection between reality and dream, where the laws of both sides were miraculously active.

Boom!

A giant palm slammed down, smashing into Anna. The next second, the vibrating Anna burst out of the back of the palm. Green flames then erupted, enveloping the hand.

Before the third Luvlyn could emerge from the ceiling, the trembling Anna melted into the adjacent wall. These questions could be answered later. Right now, Anna had to find a way to escape this predicament!

Luvlyn's special ability was truly bizarre, but she wasn't a god; she wasn't even a demigod. In other words, Anna certainly had a chance against her.

Luvlyn phased passed through the ceiling and walls, moving swiftly throughout Site 66. She moved nonstop, parting ceiling after ceiling in search of Anna.

Site 66 teetered on the brink of collapse as Luvlyn made holes in the floors in search of her target.

"Anna, surrender. Keep resisting, and you're going to have a hard time later on."

It took Luvlyn ten minutes to find Anna in a containment chamber along with the Fhtagnists. They were prostrating on the ground with Anna, seemingly working on something.

Luvlyn raised her right hand again, and her colossal figure transformed into specks of starlight. Then, her soft voice resounded throughout Site 66. "Ms. Anna, your resistance is futile. First of all, you have to understand that this is not your dream; it's my dream; I am God here."

Just as Luvlyn's hands were about to grab Anna, the latter raised her head, and a smile suffused her delicate face. She had suddenly found a breakthrough, and the clue was in Luvlyn's words.

"God? You ignoramus. Let me show you what a true god is like," Anna replied.

The Fhtagnists on the ground stood up, revealing a bizarre array drawn with blood on the ground. The array contained concentric circles with an inverted triangle inside of them, and the spaces between the circles were filled with cuneiform lines of varying sizes.

"Iilth… vwah! uhn'agth fhssh za!!"

The incantation sounded like a rapid tongue-twister, but Anna displayed extreme fluency in it. As she chanted, the coagulated blood on the floor started to liquefy.

Since this was Luvlyn's dream, what was the harm of summoning terrifying entities inside of it?

A peculiar aura began to emanate from the array. Luvlyn noticed that, and she panicked, shouting, "What are you doing?! Stop it! NOW!!"

The chanting grew louder and louder, and a crisp noise echoed as Anna's emaciated figure bent at an impossible angle. Her mouth spewed incomprehensible and bizarre words, and she chanted while grinning as widely as she could until the corners of her mouth were torn open.

It seemed that she had fallen into a reverie.

Maddening enraged roars resounded in Luvlyn's ears, and her colossal form actually began disintegrating. She tried to use her power over her dream to stop Anna, but it was like there was a layer of insulation around Anna.

Luvlyn could not stop her at all.

"KYTH ag'xig yyg'far IIQAATH ONGG!!!"

Anna's chanting reached a crescendo, and the terrifying aura emanating from her destabilized everything. The ground cracked, and the containment chamber collapsed.

An irrepressible fear rose rise in Luvlyn's heart—an extremely horrifying entity had appeared in her dream. Her dream was about to become a terrifying nightmare!

Luvlyn attempted to retreat, and Site 66 started collapsing upon her retreat.

However, Luvlyn soon discovered in horror that her dream had already been contaminated. Something was taking over her power! The dreamscape was being eroded, and eyeballs made of flesh and blood appeared all over the place.

A mere glance at them intensified the maddening roars in Luvlyn's ears.

"P-please stop!! I surrender! AAAAH! I'll be your prisoner! I can even hand over this power! Just please make that thing leave my dream!" Luvlyn exclaimed and sobbed helplessly.

However, her pleading was bound to be in vain.

Anna couldn't stop what was going on, even if she wanted to stop it.

Three seconds later, the crimson lights vanished, plunging everything into darkness.

Anna and the Fhtagnists collapsed in a pool of blood with their chests heaving violently. As expected, the summoning ritual failed. Anna and the Fhtagnists serving as sacrifices were still alive, which was within Anna's expectations.

Anna had done enough tests to know that the sacrificial rituals could only elicit noises, except for the sacrificial ritual to Fhtagn, which could elicit a faint response.

Anna's throat felt hot. The frantic chanting seemed to have injured her throat, as every swallow of her own saliva made her feel like she was swallowing a mouthful of iron shards.

There were still some murmurs in Anna's ears. She had no idea whether they'd disappear with time, but it was all worth it. The ritual had failed, but the intended effect had been achieved.

Regardless of whether Luvlyn had simply left or had gone crazy, Anna couldn't care less. What mattered was that she could no longer influence Anna.

"High Priestess, are you okay?" the Fhtagnists asked, ignoring the pain coursing through them. They surrounded Anna and helped her up.

Everything had returned to normal; the collapsed containment chamber had been restored. It seemed like they were just perfectly replicated in Luvlyn's dream.

Li Long stared at Anna, looking like he was about to cry.

Anna reached out to his neck and tore off his metal collar.

"Save your tears for later. Pull yourself together for now. We still have to get out of here!" Anna said. The IMF had already noticed her, so hiding was meaningless.

In other words, Anna just had to prioritize leaving this place as soon as possible.

The green flames corroded the metal gate of the containment chamber. She led the Fhtagnists outside the chamber, and she proceeded to breach the containment of the prisoners on each floor, plunging Site 66 into chaos.

A huge variety of eccentric and bizarre individuals rushed out of their containment chambers. The vast majority of them clearly had a few screws loose, but Anna noticed ten special individuals among them.

They were a group of men and women, and they were moving as if they were trained soldiers in the face of Site 66's combat teams.

Shockingly, they actually bested some of the combat team members and stole some weapons for themselves.

"For the Shattered God!" they roared, charging forward.

The man at the helm noticed Anna's gaze. He nodded slightly at Anna before rushing toward the hail of bullets.
