As a "Dream Weaver," Audrey easily guided Hobert into the dream world.
In fact, given Hobert's current level, entering the dream realm himself would be quite easy. He could simply "distort" the state and thoughts of someone nearby, causing them to fall asleep instantly and have a dream. He could then use that person's dream to "jump" into the dream world.
However, Hobert was currently trying to strengthen his humanity and interact more with those around him, especially the two Empresses, so he asked Audrey for help.
Audrey was delighted to be able to assist the "High Sequence" Hobert. This kind of feedback was "positive feedback" and helped Hobert maintain his humanity.
After entering the bizarre dream world, Hobert shouted, "Farbauti!"
With that shout, many uncoordinated and colorful areas in the dreamscape suddenly paused, then quickly retreated like mice seeing a cat.
These places were the dangers lurking in the dream world. Some were unknown fears, others were extraordinary distortions and madness manifested in dreams, and some were mental projections of terrifying entities.
Normally, they wouldn't actively influence other people's dreams, but if someone accidentally encountered them in a dream, they would usually have a nightmare, and in rare cases, it would trigger disastrous consequences.
Hobert had only shouted; he hadn't used any Beyonder abilities.
Their retreat was simply because Hobert's terrifying level made these "dangerous parts of the dream" aware of the danger, so they quickly hid themselves.
A second or two later, the dreamscape in front of Hobert was covered with thick grass, and then, not far from him, a Gothic palace rose from the ground. Farbauti's human form, a tall, thin middle-aged man, stood in front of the palace gate.
His current condition was even worse than before. Even in the dream world, he didn't dare to leave the palace.
Hobert stretched out his right hand, and a small mirror appeared in his hand. He gently tossed it towards Farbauti. The next second, the mirror was in Farbauti's hand: "I've built a secret space for you in the 'Mirror World.'"
Hobert said, "If the 'Mother Tree of Desire' sends someone to find you, hide in that secret space.
"Hide for a while longer, and I'll help you get rid of the 'Dark Side of the Universe.'"
"I believe you've already found clues to the 'Tenebrous World.' Now that the seal on the Western Continent is loosening, become a Great Old One as soon as possible and participate in the battle against the Outer Deities!"
Farbauti stroked the mirror in his hand and sighed deeply, "Thank you."
In the past few days, there had been some "strangers" in front of the palace gate. It was estimated that before long, the followers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" would be able to find him using the "Dark Side of the Universe."
"I'm not helping you for nothing," Hobert added, "In the future, you will take all the demons to live on another planet.
"I know that even if you're not there, humans still have an evil side, but at the same time, humans also have a beautiful side. Your existence will make that fragmented beautiful side even paler and weaker."
Farbauti agreed almost without thinking, "No problem!"
As he spoke, he gave Hobert a ball of his blood. This blood would allow Hobert to find the "Dark Side of the Universe" relatively easily, and of course, it could also easily locate the "Devil Monarch."
This was another expression of Farbauti's stance. From the moment Hobert appeared in the dream, he knew that he had bet correctly before.
...
September arrived in the blink of an eye.
On a mountain peak at the edge of the Star Highlands, Hobert looked at the endless plain in the distance. That was the Paz River Valley, a fertile land.
A small river flowed through the valley at the foot of Hobert's mountain. This section of the river was very steep, only a few dozen kilometers long, but the altitude drop was several hundred meters.
In the valley behind Hobert, a dam was being built.
It was the world's first hydroelectric power station. At this time, only half of the dam body had been built, and it was expected to be completed in the second half of next year.
At that time, the construction team would divert the river in front of Hobert into the completed dam.
During the previous wave of infrastructure construction, a batch of thermal power plants had already been built.
However, with the widespread use of motors, more electricity was used in factories. Currently, only towns at the administrative level in Atlantis had electricity, and most rural areas were still using candles or oil lamps.
Hobert sat on a rock, watching the people working on the construction site for more than ten minutes.
He didn't intend to speed up the construction of this hydroelectric power station, because this hydroelectric power station brought together many domestic engineers and elites from the electricity department. They also needed to accumulate experience through this hydroelectric power station, and then build hydroelectric power stations around the vast Star Highlands!
Hobert didn't intend to interfere with these construction works, because these were important but not urgent tasks that could be left to his bureaucracy to operate.
After watching for a long time, Hobert finally got up. The next second, he had arrived at the Berserk Sea amidst thunder and lightning.
This was the sea area outside the safe lanes in the Berserk Sea, and many demigods didn't dare to set foot in these dangerous sea areas.
Hobert raised his hand slightly, and the dark clouds that had been permeating the air for more than a thousand years dissipated, and the sunlight shone on these dark blue seas again.
He "Transformed" the environment of the real world here, restoring the boundary between the real world and the underworld that had collapsed due to the fall of the Underworld Emperor.
This was the root cause of why the Berserk Sea was so "violent."
While moving forward, Hobert "Transformed" the natural laws of the Berserk Sea, and took out a small glass bottle from the "Nation of Disorder."
This glass bottle contained a stream of information that was flowing, expanding, or contracting.
Previously, Bernadette had sealed her father in Roselle's tomb on the mysterious island, completing the advancement ceremony.
During the advancement process, the "Hidden Sage" wanted to mix a stream of information into Bernadette's body, but it was "intercepted" by Hobert.
Hobert had been keeping this stream of information belonging to the "Hidden Sage" in order to find the "Hidden Sage" when the time was right.
The reason why he went to seek revenge on the "Primordial Demoness" first, and then came to find the "Hidden Sage," was because the "Hidden Sage" seemed to have a certain connection with the "Knowledge Moor."
Therefore, this evil god, who was suspected of having the uniqueness activated, could have the level of a god at certain times without a copy of the "Knowledge Emperor" characteristic.
This was more difficult to deal with than a real god in certain specific environments.
The "Hidden Sage," like the "Primordial Demoness," must have realized that Hobert would come to settle the scores sooner or later, so according to Hobert's "Connection", this evil god hid in the depths of the Berserk Sea.
Because he had no physical body, the bad weather in the Berserk Sea couldn't cause substantial damage to him!
Using the connection of that stream of information, Hobert gradually went deep into the Berserk Sea. Behind him, a vast sea area had returned to normal.
These sea areas had a few scattered islands. Because they hadn't seen the sun for more than a thousand years, they looked like strange rocks. Only some plants that relied on spirituality for nourishment and extraordinary plants survived.
At the same time, those islands had long become a paradise for monsters. Some of them were Beyonder creatures, and some were Beyonders who had lost control and used some opportunities to escape here.
Hobert slowly searched forward. Finally, in the clouds ahead, he found a rolling stream of information.
But that wasn't the "Hidden Sage's" body; it was an "information group" used by the "Hidden Sage" to mislead him.
Hobert smiled slightly. Of course, he knew that evil gods at this level weren't so easy to find.
If the first plan didn't work, he had another plan.
Hobert held a glass bottle in one hand and took out a completely black eye from the "Nation of Disorder." It was the eye obtained in the operation to save Old Neil, and it was also the foundation of the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch."
Hobert had previously tried to find the origin of this eye, but he saw the "Knowledge Moor," and his head was immediately blown up by the massive amount of knowledge!
At that time, Hobert realized that the "Hidden Sage" should be using some "Mystery Pryer" pathway Beyonders to test the "Knowledge Moor" or to find the "Knowledge Moor."
It was very likely that not long after that, the "Hidden Sage" had established a "connection" with the "Knowledge Moor," and the "Hidden Sage" had the power of a god.
Three years later, Hobert injected spirituality into the black eye again, and took the initiative to find the "Knowledge Moor." Suddenly, the dark clouds in the distance turned fiery red, and a virtual fiery red giant eye appeared in the clouds.
At the same time as the giant eye appeared, there appeared a virtual scene like a mirage.
The main body was an endless wilderness. In the wilderness, there was a high tower. At the top of the tower, there was a fiery red eyeball, staring at this land.
Suddenly, that eyeball seemed to sense Hobert's gaze, and it looked at Hobert.
Hobert's body suddenly swelled, and soon showed a black handsome cloak and exquisite armor, as if he were an emperor in the battlefield.
Behind him, there appeared a virtual fairyland, where clouds and mists lingered, with high platforms, pavilions, and flowing water floating in the air.
In the pavilions, there was vaguely an ancient giant clock, which seemed to be an eye that despised everything.
Between Hobert's breaths, he drove the rules of the surrounding sea areas. Around him, some rules were severely distorted, and some became iron laws, and no god could make any changes.
With the protection of the "Nation of Disorder" and the mythical creature state, Hobert stared at the giant eye without any pressure.
Soon Hobert realized that the scene in front of him was not the real "Knowledge Moor," but only the projection of that Sephirot in the real world.
Although the seal on the Western Continent was lifted, these Sephirot were obviously not truly "liberated."
But for Hobert, a phantom was enough!
He immediately let his spirituality "touch" the phantom, and at the same time, the glass bottle in his right hand shattered, and the stream of information belonging to the "Hidden Sage" was released.
With the power of the giant eye in the "Knowledge Moor," using the stream of information in his hand, Hobert's vision rapidly crossed the real world. He looked through the dark clouds of the Berserk Sea and the fog of the Fog Sea.
Finally, in the dark seabed of the Fog Sea, he found a turbulent torrent of information.
The seawater, sea fish, submarine plants, rocks, and silt were all turned into fantastic pieces of information under the action of that information torrent, and flowed into the information torrent.
This huge information torrent felt Hobert's gaze from afar and shrank suddenly.
Hobert seemed to see the other party's tension and fear!
The next second, Hobert "tampered" with his position and appeared in front of the information torrent.
In the mythical creature state of "half-disordered person," the huge twisting force distorted the surrounding seawater and seabed into a ball, and the surging force "crushed" the seawater, separating hydrogen, oxygen, and salt.
From the surface of the Fog Sea, this was a huge vortex that seemed to swallow the sky.
The seabirds flying in the sky were instantly sucked into the vortex, and their bones were gone.
The surrounding islands were as fragile as piles of sand, and were crushed from top to bottom.
The "Hidden Sage" was first shocked by Hobert's mythical creature state. When he came back to his senses, part of the information torrent had been distorted into fragmented numbers and symbols.
At this time, Hobert's attack was not limited to physical significance, but also had abstract significance.
The "Hidden Sage" did not choose to confront, but turned himself into small vortexes along the twisting force, and soon used the twisting force to "throw" the strings of characters out, and formed an information torrent again not far away.
He had no intention of fighting Hobert. The surrounding space immediately became illusory, and he was preparing to hide in the vast cosmic information torrent.
In the eyes of the high-sequence Beyonders of the "Mystery Pryer" pathway, the entire universe is composed of pieces of information. Some symbols represent air, and some symbols represent seawater.
These symbols represent the most essential knowledge, and are also abstract basic units. These seawater and air are constantly radiating the light of knowledge, but they are ignored by people.
Plus some numbers, they become large pieces of air and large pieces of seawater.
Similarly, the essence of a planet is a huge information ball, and the universe is a boundless information ocean.
They always believe that as long as they find the source of each piece of information in the universe, they can control the operation of the entire universe.
But there seems to be an infinite amount of information in this universe, and even the "Hidden Sage" can't sort it out.
But the "Hidden Sage" can escape by entering the "Information Sea." He will exist in every rock in the surrounding space, in every inch of soil, and in every piece of seawater.
This is equivalent to fusing a string of his information with the information that makes up the stone, and fusing another string of information with the information that makes up the soil. In this way, pieces of information are introduced into the surrounding things.
At that time, he will become "everywhere!"
Of course, Hobert would not let the "Hidden Sage" succeed. All the surrounding information suddenly became "chaotic," like a string of garbled codes.
The "Hidden Sage" was stunned. Normally, He wouldn't have paid attention to the "gibberish" before Him, but now He realized that if He "jumped into" these "gibberish," He would immediately lose Himself, and He would lose control because He had become gibberish.
He steeled Himself and used streams of information to create a man in a simple robe, with pointed, high-set ears and soft facial features, holding a light-electric spear!
The "Hidden Sage" recreated "Elven King" Soniathrym from information. This was a "recreation" at the level of a god. For a time, the vast sea seemed to welcome its monarch. Gales howled, waves churned, and dark clouds filled the sky with lightning and thunder!
The huge vortex formed by Hobert in the sea was immediately "taken over" by the "Hidden Sage." The torrents formed by the vortex, which could scour stones into sand, began to wash over Hobert.
Streaks of gigantic, pale lightning, like thick pythons, fell from the high sky, pierced into the water, and accurately struck Hobert.
But when these attacks reached Hobert's main body, they suddenly became "chaotic." The power that formed the torrent completely disappeared, and the thick, silver-white lightning instantly returned to nothingness before Hobert.
It was as if there was an extraordinary insulator in front of Hobert, and all extraordinary attacks would be insulated before Him.
Rumble~
The seawater suddenly surged, forming a huge tsunami on the seabed.
The tsunami was surging and magnificent, with some apocalyptic scenery.
This tsunami was indestructible, and it had an abstract meaning of "indestructible."
Hobert raised a hand and "Transformed" the direction of the tsunami.
Rumble~
The surging tsunami headed towards the sky, and huge streams of water surged into the air.
...
On Raxia Island in the Fog Sea, inside the Emerald Palace.
Bernadette came out of her palace, looking at the southern sea in a daze.
She could feel that there was a very high-level battle there, stirring up the spirituality of the entire Fog Sea.
"Captain!" Suddenly, the voice of the Second Mate of the "Dawn" rang in Bernadette's ears, but the Second Mate was not in the Emerald Palace, but in the distant port.
The Second Mate shouted in panic, "Captain! The port has suddenly dried up, and the 'Dawn' is aground in the port!"
Bernadette gave a faint "hmm." Her eyes became deep, as if leading to an unknown space.
She saw large swaths of ocean surging into the air. At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to be inverted. The sky became the seabed, and the sea became the sky.
Connecting them in the middle was a waterfall with no end in sight!
The rules of nature failed there. Water no longer flowed from high to low but began to flow from low to high.
Immediately afterward, Bernadette prophesied: huge streams of water fell back into the sea, stirring up a high wave. This wave overturned ships, swept across islands, and people trembled in this huge disaster, without even the courage or thought to pray!
Looking at these images, Bernadette immediately ordered: "Prepare to meet a super tsunami!"
...
The tsunami rushed into the sky, and the indestructible abstract attack beat against the clouds and air at high altitude.
Just as the "Hidden Sage" was trying to seize control of the tsunami, a black longsword pierced His chest.
He was slightly stunned. Although He didn't look back, He "saw" that another Hobert had appeared behind Him.
This Hobert was also in a Mythical Creature state, but there was no projection of the "Nation of Disorder" behind Him.
That was Hobert's substitute. This time, Hobert didn't use his substitute from the start, just to attack the enemy by surprise.
Stabbed by the "Sword of Disorder," the image of the "Elven King" immediately collapsed, turning back into information flow. A huge amount of "gibberish" immediately appeared in these information flows, and the surging information torrent showed signs of collapse.
At this moment, a colorful iris-like structure appeared in the information torrent, completely isolating all the gibberish, and the normal information formed a new information torrent.
However, the information torrent was only half the size it was at the beginning.
Immediately afterward, the iris disappeared, and the gibberish overflowed in all directions.
The information of the surrounding things mutated, producing a huge chaos that swept the entire world. The "parameters" of some sea fish were impacted and changed by several characters and numbers, so the palm-sized sea fish suddenly became the size of whales, but its head was still only the size of a palm.
The information flow that made up the island was impacted, and several characters and numbers were also changed. The area of the island immediately expanded more than a hundred times, forming a huge island, and this island was suspended in mid-air.
The information flow that made up the seawater was impacted...
In short, in Hobert's view, it was as if everything in front of him was "infected with a virus," and everything became stuck and disordered.
But the "Hidden Sage" was also forced into a desperate situation by Hobert and his substitute.
...
Far away in the "Berserk Sea," Cattleya's spirituality suddenly sensed something.
She quickly came to the deck, and almost as soon as she arrived on the deck, she heard the exclamations of the crew.
It turned out that Boatswain Nina had suddenly turned into an iron man!
Seeing the horrified expression frozen on Nina's face, Cattleya quickly understood the root cause of the problem: the part of Nina's composition that was made up of mystical symbols was suddenly disrupted by a symbol that drifted in from nowhere.
Nina's body structure suddenly changed from flesh and blood to steel.
For Cattleya, who had already advanced to Sequence 3 "Clairvoyant" of the neighboring pathway, this was not too difficult to solve.
Her hands became illusory, found the mystical symbol that had gone wrong, and changed it to the correct mystical character.
Nina immediately returned to normal: "Storms above! Did I just turn into an iron man?"
Cattleya didn't speak. Streams of information flowed in her eyes. She saw that "information disorder" had occurred in many places in the surrounding world. Her location should be on the edge of this "information disorder," so only some strange things would happen.
What had the center of this "information disorder" become?
Suddenly, Cattleya's heart was filled with fear and confusion. The murmur that she could hardly forget appeared in her ears, causing her a splitting headache and almost losing control!
This murmur came from the "Hidden Sage." Cattleya didn't expect that she could still hear this voice even after she jumped to the adjacent pathway.
Fortunately, this murmur was fleeting, and Cattleya's spirituality uncontrollably analyzed the murmur: Hidden Sage... is asking for help!
This reminded her of the topic they had discussed at the Tarot Gathering.
Cattleya's heart was immediately shaken!
...
The "Hidden Sage" was blocked by Hobert's main body and substitute, and streams of information from His body suddenly turned into "bricks" composed of rolling information.
These "information bricks" immediately formed an airtight wall!
This wall was an abstract wall. It was just a wall, but it blocked Hobert's main body and substitute from different directions!
The substitute tried to break through the "information wall" with the "Sword of Disorder," but couldn't break through for a while!
Hobert immediately realized that the power of the Sefirah "Knowledge Moor" was contained in this "information wall!"
The "Hidden Sage" used the power of "Knowledge Moor" very sparingly, because the more He used it, the easier it was for Him to lose Himself, and His consciousness would gradually be replaced by "Knowledge Moor."
But now He obviously couldn't care about that. Escaping was the priority.
When the "information wall" was no longer so tight and was broken through by the substitute, the main body of the "Hidden Sage" had already escaped into the information flow of the surrounding things.
Among these countless information flows, as long as one piece of information was not intercepted by Hobert, the "Hidden Sage" would not die.
Hobert took a deep breath and made a fist, and He immediately appeared in mid-air.
It wasn't that Hobert's position had changed, but that half of the Fog Sea had "disappeared," from hundreds of meters of air to hundreds of meters of underground.
At this time, gales howled above Hobert's head, because about one-tenth of the air in the unsealed area of this world was suddenly emptied, and the air from other areas flowed into this area, forming violent gales.
And under Hobert's feet were surging lava, rocks, and groundwater.
It was as if He had just peeled off this piece of skin from the earth and saw the "flesh and blood" beneath the earth.
The Outer Deities in the cosmos saw that the earth was suddenly no longer a sphere, and a huge pit appeared on the Fog Sea.
In fact, these air, seawater, etc. did not disappear, but were kneaded by Hobert into a palm-sized ball.
The outside of this ball was a layer of blue seawater, and the inside was solid parts such as rocks.
On this "small ball," a frightened face was reflected. This face suddenly protruded, trying to escape the small ball, but was "pressed" back by Hobert.
That frightened human face belonged to the "Hidden Sage." He hid in the information flow that formed this planet, and Hobert "rounded up" all the areas with the "Hidden Sage" part.
Hobert acted quickly, so he only needed to "round up" half of the Fog Sea.
At this time, the substitute came over, and the "Sword of Disorder" in his hand became the size of a dagger, and stabbed into the "small ball" in the main body's palm.
The human face on the small ball dodged in horror, wandered around, and tried its best to support itself.
So the substitute pulled out the "Sword of Disorder" and stabbed in again from another angle, and then stabbed in three times, four times.
By the fifth time, everything in the small ball had become the smallest unit that formed everything.
The "Hidden Sage" also changed from information torrents to groups of information, then to strings of information, and finally to individual characters and numbers that were trying to combine together.
At this time, Hobert's main body shot again, "Transforming" the "Hidden Sage" into the smallest unit in terms of abstract symbolisms, and "using" the laws of Beyonder characteristics to instantly precipitate the Beyonder characteristics.
As the "Hidden Sage" became the "smallest unit" in both physical and abstract terms, the Uniqueness also left the "Hidden Sage."
In a wave of unwilling emotions, the "Hidden Sage" fell!
