Chapter 3645 Gap Zone
Chapter 3645 Gap Zone
The owl knew very well that the Star Lord sent it here, although he did not say it explicitly, but it was most likely related to its "popularity".
After all, apart from "popularity", it is not good at anything else.
In other words, there is a high probability that there are old friends of its here.
But, will it really happen?
If so, who could it be? An old friend from the dream world or an old friend from the nightmare world?
Looking at the dark gap, the owl felt a rare sense of anxiety.
The starworms, on the other hand, were not too anxious. They were more grateful for having survived the disaster and were curious about the gap area outside.
"Now that we have left the dream realm, there shouldn't be any idealistic dream creatures here, right?" Starworm looked at the blurry dome while secretly glancing at the owl.
His thoughts were written on his face.
——It would be great if the frosted glass on the dome could be removed.
The owl sneered: "Although it seems that there is nothing outside now, you must not forget the characteristics of the gap zone. In a sense, the gap zone is the overlapping area of multiple worlds."
“It has the commonality of both worlds.”
"So, your expectations are not very realistic. Not only are there the possibility of idealistic dream creatures appearing here, but there are also the possibility of strange creatures from the nightmare world appearing."
In other words, the Starworm's desire to see the outside world has not yet been realized.
"Although the world will does not have true logical thinking, its underlying rules subconsciously reject 'intrusion'. The gap area can actually be compared to the disputed area between two countries, where each side believes that the other side is intruding."
"In this situation, the world wills of both sides will subconsciously lead powerful creatures to the disputed area in order to compete for the right to occupy the gap area."
"That is to say, the dream world creatures and nightmare world creatures in the gap zone are definitely the top existences."
Faced with such an existence, even if the Starworm is just stared at by the other party, it may cause physical and mental distortion.
When Starworm heard this, he understood Captain Owl's intentions: the blurriness of the dome was not to block his vision, but to protect him.
If it were the previous Demon Captain, he probably wouldn't have done this.
At this time, the Starworm's recognition of the Owl also began to soar.
In his short career as a train conductor, Owl's current behavior was the most gentle conductor he had ever met.
On the other hand, Owl didn't think so much.
Turning on the blur function of the dome is a piece of cake. Why not do something that is easy to do?
Moreover, the fact that Starworm was able to grow into a three-star conductor under the destruction of No. 141 shows that the other party has great potential.
It is possible to become a maintainer in the future.
If you go one step further, it is possible to even become a train conductor.
A little bit of insignificant help can win the other party's favor, so why not do it? If the starworm performs better, it will even give it some resources to help it grow faster.
The reason why Owl has such a wide network of contacts and such deep popularity is that it has been accumulated bit by bit.
The owl looked outside the dome.
It has been looking for the "old friends" who might exist outside, but so far, it has seen nothing. No dream realm, no nightmare shadow, no idealistic monster, and no weird spirit.
Everything seems calm, but very unusual.
Owl suppressed his inner anxiety and continued driving the Star Sea Train forward.
There is no established track here, because the Dream World does not have absolute jurisdiction here, and there is no way to grant the Star Lord the right to use the route.
Here, the Xinghai Train can only run randomly.
However, it is not really random, because the appearance of the gap area must have an initial point.
Just like a spider weaving a web, there must be an initial position, and it slowly spreads outward along the initial position, finally weaving a perfect spider web.
Similarly, the gap area must also have an initial point.
The location of this initial point can be found simply by observing the degree of weakness in space.
The weaker the space is, the more new areas will spread; the most stable place in space is the starting point.
So, now the Star Sea Train seems to be moving forward freely, but in fact it is moving towards the gap area, the direction where the space is most stable.
As for why we have to go to the starting point of the gap area?
because……
The appearance of the gap zone happened recently. The "existence" that caused the appearance of the gap zone was the "target" of the mission that the Star Lord asked it to contact.
In other words, as long as they go to the starting point of the gap area, they may find the target's trace.
Time passed, dozens of minutes later.
Inside the dome hall.
It is still very quiet here, and the light is extremely dim. Apart from a little bit of starlight projection, there is almost no other light source.
After a long silence, Starworm finally couldn't help but break the silence: "Is there still nothing outside?"
The owl nodded, his expression extremely serious.
Starworm: "Since it is a gap area, shouldn't the Dream World Will and Nightmare World Will send creatures to occupy it?"
Owl shook his head: "I don't know, maybe... this gap area has changed hands, who knows."
The "fighting for the gap zone" it just mentioned usually exists in the early stage of the gap zone. But when the gap zone enters the late stage of the fight, when one side has an absolute advantage, the other side will retreat and will no longer send creatures to it.
This basically means that the gap area has been occupied.
The current situation is most likely the scene that occurred after the gap area has changed hands.
But the owl clearly remembered that the Star Lord had told it that this gap zone was not formed long ago, but was formed recently.
How come it was occupied so quickly?
Moreover, this is the gap area between the two most special worlds: the dream world and the nightmare world.
Shouldn't the battle between the two special worlds be more intense? Why is there no movement at all?
Could it be that an absolutely powerful person appeared in the gap area?
In Owl's opinion, the so-called "absolutely strong" is at least on par with the Star Lord. Only in this way can one cover the sky with one hand and quickly occupy the gap area.
After hearing Owl's guess, Starworm couldn't help but shudder.
If an absolutely strong person really appeared, then wouldn't they have already entered the other party's field of vision by now? Maybe... their every move is already on the stage in the other party's palm.
The sea of stars on Xingchong's face shrank noticeably, and his voice became a little dry: "Could it be that we are scaring ourselves?"
"In fact, the gap zone has just been created, and no living creatures have been sent from either side yet..."
There was a flash of hesitation in the owl's eyes. "That's a possibility, but generally speaking, whoever arrives first in the gap zone has the most advantage. According to the time, even if the derived spirits are not in a hurry, they should have arrived by now. It's impossible for it to be so quiet..."
If you have to choose one of the two.
Owl personally is more inclined to believe that a fight may have broken out here, with one side gaining an absolute advantage and taking over the gap area.
Starworm: "If that's the case, which side will have the upper hand?"
The owl said almost without hesitation: "Nightmare Realm."
Starworm was stunned: "Why?"
The owl glanced at the starworm unhappily and said, "Think about it carefully. If the dream world has the upper hand, then wouldn't the route agreed upon by the star master and the will of the dream world be laid in the gap area?"
There is no track here, which shows that the will of the dream world does not have the upper hand here.
When Starworm thought about it carefully, it seemed to be the same.
Moreover, those monsters born from the nightmare world were indeed a headache. As far as he knew, some monsters in the nightmare world also had similar idealistic abilities, and it was possible that they were even better than the creatures in the dream world.
"In other words, if there are really living beings here, they are most likely from the Nightmare Realm? We are likely to face creatures from the Nightmare Realm next?!"
Just thinking about this possibility made Starworm feel a chill down his spine.
The Nightmare Realm has a very bad reputation in the pan-plane. Even if a legendary being enters it, it is likely to become a pebble on the water, and the flames will be extinguished after a few ripples.
In addition, Starworm also heard that the Star Lord had entered the Nightmare Realm to open up the railway tracks in the Nightmare Realm and tried to "talk". But he had just entered for less than a second and came out with a dark face the next second.
From then on, the Star Lord never talked about the Nightmare Realm orbit again.
Even if there are passengers who want to go to the Nightmare Realm on the train, they will just be placed at the entrance to the Nightmare Realm and allowed to go in by themselves.
The Xinghai Train did not enter it again.
As for why the starworm knew this?
Because he has received many guests going to the Nightmare Realm... In fact, for the Starworms, it is quite easy to receive these guests going to the Nightmare Realm.
After all, after letting the other person in, you only have to wait less than a minute before you can continue driving.
If the customer doesn't come out within one minute, there's basically no need to wait any longer, as he's 100% sure to die in there.
So far, no guest who went to Nightmare Realm had returned on time. Starworms naturally liked this kind of guest who bought and sold tickets.
But when it was their turn to face the creatures from the Nightmare Realm, the Starworm resisted from the bottom of its heart.
After all, even if he had never seen the horror of the creatures in the Nightmare Realm with his own eyes, he already had some idea of it after looking at those guests who never returned...
Owl glanced at the starworm. Although he didn't say anything, the sea of stars on his face shrank again, and almost no light could be seen.
As a creature of the starry sky, this represents the starworm's inner fear.
The owl did not go to comfort him, because even though it had "friends" in the Nightmare Realm, it was still afraid of the creatures in the Nightmare Realm.
Even the lowest level weird spirits have some means of turning the table over.
A tiny "glowing butterfly" can build a weird nest, and soon spread the weirdness to the whole world.
Then, completely annihilate a world.
It is difficult to describe the "monsters" in the Nightmare Realm in terms of their strength levels.
"If it's an old friend from the Nightmare Realm, I hope it's that butterfly that's coming..." The owl murmured in a low voice, although it had witnessed the "atrocities" of the butterfly that destroyed the world.
But the other party's original intention was not to destroy the world. It was simply to establish an anchor point and communicate with the owl as a friend.
Who knew that the world would be destroyed in the end.
The owl silently looked outside the dome, trying to find the butterfly emitting colorful light, but...
It didn't see any light or shadow.
On the contrary, when the Star Sea Train was about to enter the "space stability zone", it saw an obvious reflection.
"Mirror...reflection?"
The owl stared blankly at the mirror not far away. It was a huge mirror that connected to the infinite void above and the boundless abyss below. There was no end and no edge to be seen.
It just stands there in the dark void.
If the Star Train itself was not luminous, causing the mirror to also flash and reflect, the owl might not be able to see it.
Why does such a huge mirror appear here?
The owl was full of doubts. Could it be that the creature from the Nightmare Realm controlled the mirror? However, it did not know any old people from the Nightmare Realm who controlled the mirror.
"Mirror?" The starworm also heard the owl's whisper.
When Starworm learned that there was a huge mirror ahead, he was also full of doubts: "If we can't see the edge of the mirror at all, how should we go now?"
"Should we walk along the mirror, or should we say... enter the mirror?"
Owl was silent for a moment. "Drive along the edge of the mirror at full speed for five minutes. If you still don't see any gaps after five minutes, then enter the mirror."
Although five minutes may seem like a short time, you should know that they are not walking on their legs, but sitting on the Starry Sea Train. Even if this Starry Sea Train is only a secondary train, it is an extension of the miracle!
If they really drive at full speed, without jumping or hopping tracks, five minutes would be enough for them to complete the ten-dimensional space-time distance.
So, under normal circumstances, five minutes is actually enough to cross the gap area.
But five minutes later.
When the owl saw that there was still a vast mirror outside, it understood that the initial point of the gap area had been blocked behind the mirror.
The only way to reach the starting point is to enter the mirror.
It was silent for a moment, and then issued a new order:
"Through the mirror!"
When the Star Sea Train touched the mirror, the mirror did not break at all, but turned into a water-like texture, with ripples forming.
Soon, the Star Sea Train entered the mirror.
There was still pitch-black void all around, and it seemed like there was nothing there.
but……
The owl's expression gradually became frozen.
Because, by controlling the Star Sea Train, it can sense the breath of the outside world. At this time, in the dark void outside, three kinds of energy exist at the same time...
The breath of the nightmare world.
The breath of dreams.
And... the power of the Mirror Realm? !
So, the gap area they came to this time was not the intersection of two realms, but the overlap of three realms? !
The most important thing is that all three worlds are special worlds!
No wonder a mirror appeared outside just now, because that is the embodiment of the power of the Mirror Domain!
Sensing the terrifying yet complex energy clusters outside, the owl had a deep feeling that he had come to an extraordinary place...
