I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 833: Modified - 522 Daytime Dream

"I see, thank you for your answer, Your Majesty Oscar."

Chen Lun showed a thoughtful expression and immediately bowed to the other party.

He thought to himself, perhaps the amount of "Unique Divinity" one possesses also determines the power difference between Sub-God level angels and deities, as it signifies the strength of authority...

The "Destiny Giant Serpent" Oscar in front of him probably possesses more than two shares of "Unique Divinity". He is likely very close to the divinity level, belonging to the King of Angels tier.

’But why didn’t he choose to become a god himself, instead entrusting the great feat of the Ring Duke to me... Merely saying that Oscar was once the Sub-God of the Ring Duke doesn’t explain it.’

Chen Lun felt a bit puzzled.

Because if it were him, he might not have resisted the temptation to become a god, instead of supporting others... There certainly are loyal people in this world, but it is absolutely impossible for a Destiny pathway angel.

Oscar slightly nodded.

He seemed to have noticed Chen Lun’s confusion and sighed, explaining:

"You are the ’Destined One’, Jack, an ’anomaly’ that the Ring Duke foresaw in the last era, a ’Point of Discord’ that breaks the cycle... Since you have completed the Fateful Challenge, it proves that the Ring Duke’s prophecy is not false, because he himself was once such an existence, only slightly short of success in the end..."

Chen Lun listened and felt he understood and didn’t understand; he always felt Oscar was speaking in riddles.

’It seems I indeed have some kind of special characteristic... So much so that Oscar doesn’t want to bear this responsibility and passed it to me? But what makes him think that I will ultimately become a god and complete what even Ring Duke couldn’t...’

He found it somewhat absurd.

But thinking about it, the Destiny pathway might indeed behave this way, even he often acted mysteriously in front of others, so he felt relieved.

"Jack, this grand feat is extremely arduous, almost a certain death for you, and I am currently trapped in the Far East, unable to extricate myself, I can’t help you much... Alec is a fictional character created by me, though merely a mortal, his body has the property of indestructibility and possesses the projection power of the ’Divine Relic’ named ’Daytime Dream’. In his dream world, he is almost like the creator. You can use this as an aid." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Oscar smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Chen Lun suddenly understood.

’No wonder an assassin once died in his dream, it turned out to be Alec’s doing... In this way, although his abilities are limited, they are extremely powerful in dreams... Perhaps the circus officers can cooperate with Alec’s power, creating a form of synergy to trap the enemy in his dream?’

In an instant, he thought of many ideas based on this.

Finally, he decided on a candidate.

’Hmm, this idea has a high feasibility... Let Noah use the ’Bone Gallery’ to capture a Sequence Five ’Charming Demon’ from the Constellation sect, or a Sequence Six ’Sea Demon’ from the Deep Sea faction, to hypnotize the enemy and drag them into Alec’s dream to finish them off.’

Chen Lun hadn’t considered using his own Hypnosis Necklace ’Mermaid’s Song’, but this B-grade Mysterious Object is broken, and it doesn’t work on targets with Willpower over 25 points... This basically means it is not suitable for battles above the Mid Sequence.

But it is very useful against ordinary people, so Chen Lun still planned to carry it with him at all times to deal with some everyday situations.

’If only I had left a Hand of Pale Leaves alive on the Pearl Barmogo, so Noah could make a portrait of him back then...’

Chen Lun muttered to himself.

Gathering his thoughts, he bowed to the other party and immediately put on his black hat.

"Thank you once again, Your Majesty Oscar."

"I wish for your early promotion, Jack."

Oscar maintained a smile and nodded.

Immediately, the silver ring in his eyes gradually receded until it disappeared. Everything around that had been "paused" resumed, all "coming to life" again.

The wind swept over, carrying flowers. Alec shook his head, seeming a bit confused about the situation, but he didn’t care at all. Instead, he chuckled and said to Chen Lun:

"Mr. Jack, would you like to have some fun here? I’ve seen all kinds of noble young ladies and can create one exactly the same for you... Don’t worry, Miss Floey won’t know. How about it?"

"You enjoy yourself."

Chen Lun shook his head and patted Alec’s shoulder in return.

Before leaving, he instructed without looking back:

"But be careful... if the ladies in the team see you washing your pants, it would be very embarrassing."

"Ah?!"

Alec was startled immediately.

Chen Lun chuckled lightly and opened his eyes.

Waking up from his dream, he found himself still inside the pavilion, with silver-white snow accumulated on the lawn around.

Alec in front of him turned over and shivered all over, seemingly having a nightmare.

Chen Lun shook his head and turned to leave.

He rushed back to his room non-stop and took out the Golden Cup Token, flicking his finger.

Ding!

Before long.

The Spirit World messenger of the Generous Council appeared from the air.

The faceless servant was still in that guise, one hand holding a white towel and tray, the other hand behind his back, and bowed slightly to Chen Lun.

"Greetings, Lord Jack Spett Governing Officer, what do you require?"

It asked with its head down, respectfully.

"Use the council’s highest-level intelligence system to give me the latest movements of the Transcendent force ’Hand of Pale Leaves’."

Chen Lun sat on the chair, took out a notebook and spread it open, speaking without turning his head.

The Faceless Attendant nodded upon hearing this.

"Please wait a moment."

After saying this, it took a step back and disappeared into the Spirit World.

Chen Lun looked at the blank paper in front of him, his gaze deep.

With his current strength and status, he didn’t need to go out personally to find targets. He just needed to leverage the forces behind him, gather a bit of intelligence, and use [Hide and Seek] along with [Jest of Fate] to create coincidences, making the target come to him automatically.

Most Transcendents of the Constellation Path gathered in the Constellation Sect, making it difficult for Chen Lun to proceed. Thus, he turned his attention to this other transcendent force... Fortunately, this organization was also on the Empire’s wanted list, allowing Chen Lun to act without concerns.

A moment later.

The Faceless Attendant returned again, carefully placing a stack of documents at Chen Lun’s side.

"Thank you for your hard work. Nothing else, you may go."

Chen Lun smiled faintly, habitually placing two Gold Coins on the Messenger’s tray.

"Yes, Lord Jack."

The Messenger replied respectfully, then promptly left.

Chen Lun immediately opened the documents, reviewing the information about the "Hand of Pale Leaves"... He knew little about this organization in his previous life, but now, thanks to the Generous Council’s detailed intel, he had a clear understanding.

He was also somewhat surprised.

This organization did not worship the "Sea God Eternal Sleeper" like the Hailing Group but rather another Deep Sea Angel, "Dagon" Garcia Peter.

It was said that He was once a Sub-God of the Eternal Sleeper, but since the Fifth Era, the Eternal Sleeper seemed to have fallen silent, no longer responding to His believers. Dagon left His side and disappeared.

Chen Lun knew well that the Eternal Sleeper’s silence originated from the Ring Duke’s arrangements. Even before his fall, the Ring Duke personally went to the Far East to seal and suppress the Eternal Sleeper, which remains to this day... What Oscar Your Majesty referred to as "inextricable" might be related to this.

Garcia Peter bore many titles. Aside from the well-known "Dagon" among His believers, He was also called names like "Seeker of Pale Leaves," "Sleeping Star," and "Deeper than the Abyss."

This is also the origin of the "Hand of Pale Leaves" organization name.

Reading this, Chen Lun couldn’t help but recall the opening CG of the 1.0 version public test, where Anna’s voiceover mentioned this Angel and briefly showed His image... It was in a deep undersea lost palace, with an desolate, dilapidated Throne standing empty, and only a figure crawling before it, motionless.

"Dagon..."

Chen Lun whispered this name.

Then he chuckled lightly.

Fortunately, like most Esoteric Cults, the "Hand of Pale Leaves," which worships this Deep Sea Angel, has received little favor from Him. Not to mention miracles, even His responses were few, causing Chen Lun little worry about being targeted by Dagon.

He summoned the ivory white pen transformed by [Hide and Seek] and started writing on the paper.

The scratching sound of the pen was continuous, blending perfectly with the cold wind outside the window.

Coastal area of the Empire’s east coast.

A merchant ship, carrying silver ore and Sea Shell Flower Seeds from Rock State, was sailing towards Flower State’s Fluffy Daisy City.

On the deck, some passengers taking advantage of the good weather leaned against the railing, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and basking in the sunlight.

However, a dispute was unfolding inside the cockpit.

"You damn idiot!"

The bald captain was furious as he pounded the iron table, causing the cup on it to clink loudly, almost toppling over the edge.

"You drank too much and forgot to update the latest ship’s log?! How could you make such a low-level mistake after living on the ship for seven or eight years as the first officer! The navigator’s information wasn’t received in time, and now, two days into the voyage, we find out there will be a storm... You compensate for the time and Gold Pounds lost? I’m really going to be infuriated to death by your damn stupidity!"

"Sorry, Captain! I... I shouldn’t have listened to that girl, the wine was just too strong, I didn’t expect to sleep that long! I deserve to die!"

The first officer, a thin and short man, lowered his head and muttered. The chief mate, second officer, and boatswain beside him all remained silent, not daring to provoke the captain at this time.

"Quickly notify the chief engineer to have the crew contact the nearest port for anchoring. If this business trip is lost, you can get the hell out! Get out now!"

The bald captain’s forehead bulged with veins, and he yelled with a thick neck.

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts.

The captain was panting heavily, gulping water from his cup.

But before he could set it down, the cabin door was once again pushed open, the hurried footsteps almost choking him.

About to erupt, the boatswain already started sweating profusely:

"Captain, bad news! The lookout says a fast ship is approaching from behind... I suspect it might be the notorious ’The Shipwreck’!"

The captain’s pupils shrank instantly.

The Shipwreck!

This name was widely known in the maritime circles, referring to a group of pirates who have been crazily plundering and killing recently. Their crimes are countless, even being wanted by the Empire’s authorities.

But due to their knack for secrecy and their quick and ruthless actions, they’ve never been caught... The experienced bald captain certainly suspected that this might be a pirate force composed of Transcendents!

Thoughts flew by, and the bald captain only roared from his throat:

"Tell the engine room to operate at maximum capacity, heading full speed north!"
